'INFJ' (Introverted iNtuiting Feeling Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI),^[1] and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter.
The MBTI tool is comprised of multiple choice questions that sort respondents on the basis of four "dichotomies" (pairs of psychological opposites). Sixteen different outcomes are possible, each of which is identified by its own four-letter "code," referred to by initial letters. The MBTI is approximately 70% accurate per its own manual.

★ 'I - Introversion' preferred to Extraversion

★ 'N - iNtuition' preferred to Sensing

★ 'F - Feeling' preferred to Thinking

★ 'J - Judging' preferred to show the Outer World
According to Keirsey, INFJs belong to the temperament^[2] of the ''idealists'' and are called Counselors.

MBTI cognitive functions

The attributes of each personality type form a hierarchy. This represents the person's "default" pattern of behavior in their day to day life. The ''Dominant'' function is the personality type's preferred role, the task they feel most comfortable with. The ''Auxiliary'' function is the role they feel the next most comfortable with. It serves to support and expand on the Dominant function. One of these first two will always be an information gathering function (Sensing or, in the INFJ case, Intuiting) and the other will be a decision making function (Thinking or, in the INFJ case, Feeling). The ''Tertiary'' function is less developed than the Dominant and Auxiliary functions, but tends to develop in mid-life; it provides roundness of ability (in the INFJ case, development of Thinking as a decision making function). The ''Inferior'' function (Sensing) is the personality type's Achilles' heel and may be most evident under stress. This is the function they are least comfortable with. Like the Tertiary function, the Inferior function usually becomes more stable with maturity.
