Reconciling - they find a tremendous sense of purpose in being a facilitator of reconciliation.
Inspiring - they can be enormously inspiring because they are willing to be vulnerable with others.
Harmonious - they seek harmony, going to great lengths to avoid interpersonal conflict.
Nurturing - they connect by sharing in people's suffering, challenges, difficulties, and pain.
Fervent - they aim to bring peace to the world and wholeness to themselves and their loved ones.
Dreamers - they often hear a calling to go forth into the world to help others, and they are ready to make the personal sacrifices involved.

WEAKNESSES

Some INFPs can also be:

Too Idealistic
Too Altruistic
Impractical
Challenged by Data
Prone to take Things Personally

IN THE WORKPLACE

How INFPs typically operate in the workplace:

As Subordinates - they prefer latitude, and would much rather immerse themselves in a project, alone or with a close team, than simply be told what task to do and move on.

As Colleagues - they feel most comfortable among colleagues – they aren’t interested in controlling others, and have a similar distaste for being controlled.

As Managers - they are among the least likely to seem like managers – their egalitarian attitudes lend respect to every subordinate, preferring communication as human beings than as a boss/employee opposition.

OTHERS

Other well-known INFPs include:

William Shakespeare
Julia Roberts
J.R.R. Tolkien
Princess Diana
Albert Schweitzer
Audrey Hepburn
