create a world where others do the right thing as well. People with this
personality type may feel called to use their strengths – including
creativity, imagination, and sensitivity – to uplift others and spread
compassion. Concepts like egalitarianism and karma can mean a great
deal to Advocates.

25/09/2021, 23:33 Introduction | Advocate (INFJ) Personality | 16Personalities

Advocates may see helping others as their purpose in life. They are
troubled by injustice, and they typically care more about altruism than
personal gain. As a result, Advocates tend to step in when they see
someone facing unfairness or hardship. Many people with this
personality type also aspire to fix society’s deeper problems, in the hope
that unfairness and hardship can become things of the past.

Nothing lights up Advocates like creating a solution that changes


people’s lives.

Connecting with Others (and Themselves)

Advocates may be reserved, but they communicate in a way that is warm


and sensitive. This emotional honesty and insight can make a powerful
impression on the people around them.

Advocates value deep, authentic relationships with others, and they tend
to take great care with other people’s feelings. That said, these
personalities also need to prioritize reconnecting with themselves.
Advocates need to take some time alone now and then to decompress,
recharge, and process their thoughts and feelings.

The Cost of Success

At times, Advocates may focus so intently on their ideals that they don’t
take care of themselves.

rest until they’ve achieved their unique vision of success, but this mindset
can lead to stress and burnout. If this happens, people with this
personality type may find themselves feeling uncharacteristically ill-
tempered.

Advocates might find themselves feeling especially stressed in the face of


conflict and criticism. These personalities tend to act with the best of
intentions, and it can frustrate them when others don’t appreciate this. At
times, even constructive criticism may feel deeply personal or hurtful to
Advocates.

A Personal Mission

Many Advocates feel compelled to find a mission for their lives. When
they encounter inequity or unfairness, they tend to think, “How can I fix
this?” They are well-suited to support a movement to right a wrong, no
matter how big or small. Advocates just need to remember that while
they’re busy taking care of the world, they need to take care of
themselves too.
