They are Idealistic, loyal to their values, and to people who are important to them. They want an external life that is congruent with their values. INFPs are curious, quick to see possibilities, and can be catalysts for implementing ideas. They seek to understand people and to help them fulfill their potential. INFPs are adaptable, flexible, and accepting unless a value is threatened. They appear nonjudgmental, understanding, and forgiving.

“Still Waters Run Deep”

INFPs have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J. R. R. Tolkien

The INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.
