Why are INFJ so misunderstood?

INFJs often feel misunderstood. Perhaps it’s because they’re quiet and reserved and tend to share their deepest thoughts and feelings only with select people. Or maybe it’s because they are so rare—personality test research shows they make up less than 1\% of the population.

What INTJ think about INFJ?

INTJs should invite INFJs to share their thoughts and feelings; they need to be considerate and accepting of INFJs’ emotions. INFJs should try to address conflict rationally; they need to remain calm and level-headed, expressing themselves honestly.

Why are INFJs so awkward in relationships?
