The one with a conscience. Sees people along the axis of ethics between people, with an eye that opens possibilities. What they want most: practical help. What they are worst at: pushing through.
Types that fit INFJ, and types that need distance
INFJ (the 16Personalities Advocate) with the other fifteen types and its own, sorted by kind of fit. The order is a rough guide to what tends to last, not a score. Each link opens the page for that pair.
Fits wellESTJ (Duality), ISTP (Activation), ENFP (Mirror), ENTJ (Semi-duality)The four that fit naturally. When it starts to work differs.Stands closeINFJ (Identity), ISFJ (Kindred), INTJ (Business), INFP (Quasi-identity)The four that are alike or can move side by side.Needs distanceESFJ (Illusionary), ISTJ (Super-ego), ENFJ (Extinguishment), ESTP (Conflict)The four whose closeness needs design. Decide the distance and they last.With a directionENTP (Supervisor), ESFP (Supervisee), ISFP (Benefactor), INTP (Beneficiary)The four that one side feels strongly. Seen from INFJ's side.
How this type meets eleven situations. Not fortune-telling that comes true: how this type moves in each scene, written from the arrangement of its functions.
WishGranted, but you need hands that move. Rely on people.
The one you wait forWill come. Someone is watching you. If pushed, accept.
Lost thingsWhat you lent will not return. If you can think that is fine, it is fine.
Setting outGood, if you leave the arrangements to someone else. Decide yourself and you never set out.
TradeAlone: bad. Team up with someone who handles the practical side: good.
StudyStudy of the heart: excellent. Practical study: leave to others.
DisputeAvoid it. Pushed, you collapse. Keep an ally who moves for you.
LoveThe one who actually moves is the real one. With someone who only talks ideals, it vanishes in hardship.
ChildrenYou will be a parent who sees the heart. Pushing and the practical side: your partner.
IllnessYou forgive too much and wear down. Practise drawing a line.
MarriageIt will come together, with someone who supports you in practical things. Two of the same type become siblings.
A gift that lands
Practical help. Helping to tidy, a useful tool. What INFJ is waiting for is hands that move.
What suits them
Part-time jobs, work, places to travel, clothes, music, anime, films, TV drama. From what the type is good at and what it wants.

Questions this type wants to answer, and what lands
QuestionWhat do you think that person really feels?
QuestionAny words that stayed with you lately?
What lands"You can see into people's hearts." Do not push. When they are stuck, actually help.
If they were a country or a place
The temperament of the type, likened to land. One each: a country, a Japanese prefecture, a US state, a European country.
CountryBhutan Rightness, and happiness.
PrefectureIwate Quiet and gentle.
US stateVermont Quiet. Conscience.
EuropeFinland Quiet, earnest, gentle.
Values
Whether it is good. What it says about you as a person. Dislikes things decided by strength and force, and collapses when pushed. Talks ideals; poor at producing actual help. Forgives betrayal, and wears down from the forgiving.
Money
Poor at managing. Lends to people, is not repaid, cannot ask. Suited to relying on others for practical help: bookkeeping, investment, negotiation. Spends on people and on learning.
Parenting
A parent who sees the child's heart. Believes in possibility, teaches right and wrong, never misses a wound. Poor at pushing through with discipline and at the practical side of daily life. Leave those to the other parent or a system.
Work
Education, welfare, psychology, editing, religion, non-profit. Work with people's hearts and possibilities. Competition, negotiation and places that push with force are draining. As a boss, trusts subordinates; as a subordinate, wants practical support.
Friends
Few, and deep. Chooses people close in soul. In hardship, notices that neither they nor the friend can help practically. The friend who actually moves is the greatest salvation.
Hobbies
Reading, diaries, nature, plants, quiet creation. Hobbies of heart and possibility. Physical hobbies last when someone arranges the practical side.
INFJ's Model A
Where this type places the eight information elements. The top two are strengths, the next two weaknesses, the next two what it wants from others, the bottom two what it can do but does not care about. Compatibility is the overlay of two such arrangements.
1FiLeading: Fi introverted ethics — personal bonds, likes and dislikes, distance. Strongest and always on. The way this person sees the world.
2NeCreative: Ne extraverted intuition — possibilities, ideas, "it could also be otherwise". The tool that serves the leading function. Used flexibly, when needed.
3TiRole: Ti introverted logic — structure, consistency, "does it add up". Adequate but unconfident. Performed when required.
4SeVulnerable: Se extraverted sensing — force, presence, taking the ground. Weakest and most sensitive. Remarks here hurt.
5TeSuggestive: Te extraverted logic — facts, efficiency, "how to make it work". Cannot produce it; feels safe receiving it from others. The dual's leading function lands here.
6SiMobilizing: Si introverted sensing — comfort, bodily sensation, pleasant and unpleasant. Gets moving when helped here. Grows with praise.
7FeIgnoring: Fe extraverted ethics — the mood of the room, atmosphere, moving feelings. Capable but does not value it. Used silently when necessary.
8NiDemonstrative: Ni introverted intuition — the flow of time, foresight, "this is where it goes". Strong without noticing. Comes out unasked.
