Of all types, the INFJ (Perspectives/Harmony in the Personality Hacker system) is the most sensitive to other people. Their ability to shift perspectives combined with their natural talent for understanding complex human emotions gives them almost ESP-like powers. Though it’s extremely rare for them to admit it, almost all people of this type suffer from what they call the ‘assault of others’ emotions – picking up and taking on emotions not theirs, sometimes coming from total strangers. When at their best they are extraordinarily good counselors and therapists. They use this psychic-like ability in a positive way to meet others needs, thereby avoiding being ‘used’ as an emotional conduit. This type is often highly rigorous with themselves before they will deem themselves as competent. They have high standards, and when mobilized and active are a force to be reckoned with.

INFJ Defensive Strategy
Tertiary (10 Year Old) :
Introverted Thinking
“Accuracy”
Accuracy (Introverted Thinking) can become a
favorite tool for keeping people at arm’s length,
often through criticism. Accuracy is usually about
rooting out biases and inconsistencies of logic. But
when you’re using it defensively it won’t be about
fault finding in a person’s logic, it will be about fault
finding in the person themselves.
You’re much more at peace and happy when
you’re focused on positive, connective
relationships. If your 10 year old gets into the mix
it will encourage you to withdraw from creating
intimate and satisfying bonds. In an effort to
protect yourself from being vulnerable, you deny
yourself the opportunity to be truly connected and
understood.
Focus more on creating healthy boundaries
around people’s energy rather than strategies to
synthesize invulnerability.

INFJ - Where To Go From Here
Auxiliary (Co-Pilot) :
Extraverted Feeling
“Harmony”
The enemy of Harmony is cold, distant criticism.
Harmony requires the strength to wade through a
world of people in pain looking for someone to
act as an emotional dialysis machine. You have
to set up healthy boundaries in order for you to
get your needs met. It’s the only way for you to
show up at your best and not in an ungenerous,
undernourished state.
Set up your conditions to access this mental
process as much as possible.
When you come across someone with unmet
needs, put yourself in their shoes to determine
what that need may be. If you cannot identify it,
ask them what it could be in a loving way. They
may not know themselves, so offer to talk about it
until the need is identified. Give plenty of genuine
affirmation, but avoid praise you do not mean.
Offer honest support, and be okay if the timing
isn’t right for them just yet.
