INFPs at Work
• INFPs’ main interest lies in seeing the possibilities beyond what is present,obvious, or known.
• They tend to work in bursts of energy and are capable of great concentrationand output when fully engaged in a project.
• They are perfectionists when they care deeply about something.
• INFPs are curious about new ideas and tend to have insight and long-rangevision.
• They are interested in books and language and are likely to have a gift forwriting.
• They can be persuasive when talking about their passions, which are quiet but
deep rooted.
• INFPs are often attracted to positions in counseling, teaching, literature, art,science, or psychology.
• They may have difficulty performing routine tasks or doing work that has little
meaning for them.

Potential Blind Spots for INFPs• If INFPs have not developed their Feeling preference, they may not take the time
to consult their inner values and thus may go from one possibility to another,achieving little.
• If they rely too much on their Feeling preference, they may make decisions
based solely on personal values and find it difficult to translate their values intoaction.
• If they have not developed their Intuition preference, INFPs may not havereliable ways of taking in information and may then fail to notice the realities
of situations.
• Also, they may spend their time dreaming of the impossible and accomplish
very little.
• INFPs may feel such a contrast between their ideals and their accomplishmentsthat they burden themselves with a sense of inadequacy. They may thenbecome overly sensitive and vulnerable, with dwindling confidence inthemselves.
