Weaknesses
INFJs possess a high degree of empathy, leading them to always see the best in others. Because of their incredible empathy, INFJs may sometimes place too much trust in others. This may make it easy for others to disappoint INFJs or take advantage of them.
In addition, INFJs truly value their relationships with others, and may often put the needs of others before their own. Because of this, INFJs must be careful not to make choices and define their priorities based solely on what others want—this may result in neglecting their own needs and losing one’s sense of purpose. It is critical that INFJs do not sacrifice their own wellbeing and aspirations to help others. They may find themselves tired, stressed, and burnt out.
Although they have very strongly held beliefs, INFJs often have difficulty revealing their true identities and values. They are very deep, complex people. Because INFJs are naturals at interacting with and understanding others, they may be “chameleon-like” interactions instead of revealing their true selves.
Finally, INFJs often seek out the opinions of others, but may have a hard time accepting criticism. They may become reliant on others’ approval to validate their self-worth.
