INFP

The Mediator

The Idealistic Advocate

Overview

INFPs have some deeply held values, though there are probably very few people, if any, who know what those values actually are. Privately, they may be a people-person, but others may not recognise it as they show their feelings in indirect, imaginative ways rather than in more conventional expressions of care. They may be looking forward to the realisation of some personal ideals.
