NFPs are creative and complex. INFPs hold harmony and friendship close to their hearts. In their own quiet way, they want their work, friends and school to reflect these values. When they focus on these values, they can be inspired for short periods of time, especially if they work by themselves. INFPs are quiet and adaptable; they won’t easily share their inner selves (or their sense of humor) with others unless they have built a trusting relationship. They will likely be bored quickly by routine jobs that don’t relate to their inner values of harmony and friendship.

INFPs need to believe in their work; they need their work to reflect their values of unity and friendship. Their work often is about improving other people’s lives through their verbal skills. They work best when they have the freedom to creatively respond to the needs of the moment for short periods of time. The type of careers that honor these traits include fine arts, counselling, writing, teaching (art, music and drama), library work and entertainment.
