The Advocate
You are one of the rarest personalities in the entire world — and it shows in everything you do. INFJs see beneath the surface of people and situations to the deeper truths that everyone else misses, and you carry a quiet, burning conviction to make life more meaningful for everyone you touch. You feel profoundly, dream boldly, and have an almost magical gift for inspiring people to become who they were always meant to be. You are living proof that one thoughtful, compassionate person really can change the world.
