Compassionate Visionaries balance their conceptual approach with an internal focus on human development. They are often interested in connecting people, ideas, and values.
The following list describes typical characteristics and preferences of people who prefer INFJ. Identify the items that are true for you so you can seek work that suits who you are.
As a Compassionate Visionary, I prefer a work environment that is
