Sorry to bother you, but I've just recently come upon your blog and I've had some questions. I know INFJs are scarce, but could you list some INFJ characters out? The argument about INFJs kinda confuses me... Thanks! -Anon INFJ
The following list are characters I have typed as INFJ. Not everyone agrees with them and I do keep my INFJ characters rare do to a picky process I have when typing INFJ. INFJ and INTJ are both very rare types and to me this is due to the introverted intuition dominant trait. It isn’t just about abstract thought or future thinking. Both of these characteristics are possible in any type so they are hard to use as indicators of introverted dominant.
Introverted intuition is one of self awareness, self knowledge, and self reflection. INFJ and INTJ have access to their subconscious that no other types can equal. It is why they can be stereotypical types for having magic or super powers of some sort. And some do, but how they are aware and tap into said powers is a determining factor. Powers aside, a high Ni involves a lot of self reflection in who you are and who you want to be. High Ni I think is the most capable of self-transformation.
The following is not a complete list. For who I have typed so far check out TYPED CHARACTERS on my blog. I hope these characters help define INFJ a bit more in fictional terms.
Vanessa Ives from Penny Dreadful
Major sign of introverted intuition : Her constant analysis of herself and her powers. Who is she going to be? The Mother of Evil or God’s Servant? Who is she with Mina? Who is she without Mina? She is constantly trying to define herself and figure out who she wants to be.
Extroverted feeling kick-in: Keeping the group together and taking on the feelings, troubles, and emotions of others.
Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings
Major sign of introverted intuition: Dreams! What sets Frodo apart from the other hobbits and makes him seem more elvish culturally is his high introverted intuition. It is more explicit in the books, but Frodo sees what is happening in the future or in the present. His dreams tap into his subconscious that he listens to.
Extroverted feeling kick-in: Deciding to take on the One Ring.
Pocahontas from Disney’s Pocahontas
Major sign of introverted intuition: Another case of dreams being a big sign. She dreams of her future of the new people coming to her land. She seeks meaning in these dreams and in people’s actions. She constantly asks herself the big questions trying to figure out who she is. Does she take the steady course, does she marry Kocoum? Is all her dreaming at an end?
Extroverted feeling kick-in: Implementing diplomacy between her people and the white people.
Zaheer from Avatar: Legend of Korra
Major sign of introverted intuition: Even before aquiring air bending he was one for the Air Nomad teachings. He processed a lot of what he wants for himself and has a lot of self reflection. It is how he achieves flight. He has a huge control of his subconscious.
Extroverted feeling kick-in: Seeing freedom has his ultimate goal and trying to implement freedom across the world for the sake of humanity.
Will Graham from Hannibal
Major sign of introverted intuition: This is my design. Every time he analyzes a crime scene he is using his introverted intuition. He has a deep understanding of his subconscious and is able to slip into the minds of others. He isn’t so focused on connections in a crime as much as the meaning behind it. The meaning then reveals the rest.
Extroverted feeling kick-in: EMPATHY! He has such a strong sense of empathy and can lose himself to the feelings of others to an extreme point.
