The personality type, INFJ-T, strongly resonates with who I believe that I am.

I find myself
seeking deep relationships with people. I want to have relationships where I can feel
comfortable talking about vulnerable topics and where I can learn both the positive and the
negative aspects of a person. I also share the weaknesses of the INFJ-T personality. I always put
my best efforts into a project. Although criticism is essential to improvement, I will still take
criticism harshly as I see it as a sign of failure despite doing my best. The strive to do my best
also causes me to be a little perfectionistic. If I do something and I don’t like how it turns out, I
am usually compelled to restart from scratch to do better. I also withhold many details about
myself even though other people tell me a lot about themselves. My reasoning for opening up is
the worry about burdening the other person with the details about me and so I decide to keep
to myself. My reluctance to opening up also stems from the suspicion that a relationship is only
surface. Like the INFJ-T, I prefer relationships with depth. If I find that a relationship is only
surface-level, I see it as a pointless endeavour and I consequentially do not share anything
about myself.
In the workplace, I wish to have a career that aligns with my passions. That connection
that the career has to my ideals will make the work enjoyable. It’ll feel less like a burden and
more enjoyable. The most important aspect that a career would have for an INFJ is that it gives
a sense of purpose. I agree with that need to know my purpose. Looking at what I am good at
right now, I am gravitating towards a career as an engineer. An engineer’s role includes finding
out how to solve a problem and creating designs. There are moments when the work is mostly
done alone but there are also parts that require collaboration with others. INFJs prefer freedom
and autonomy for a job. The parts of an engineering career that are done alone appeal to INFJs.
Being able to problem-solve appeals to their sense of altruism. Designing and drafting appeal to
their creativity and wishes to work alone, as designing is often done alone.
