If you are an INFJ and happy in your job....

[BarbaraFromOopNorth]

What do you do?

Well I wouldn't say happy, so much as have been doing it for years and don't cry at the thought of it... teacher.

Thanks Drinkcider, I definitely don't want to be a teacher!

I am an INTJ and I work as a manager for a transport company. Whilst I enjoy managing a busy team I do so because it's very stats orientated and I am relied on to complete a lot of the MI reporting and back office support (which are most to my strengths). Managing people is great too, but I do make sure that I have my time to myself if I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

I’m an INFJ - I work as an editor. Requires plenty of empathy and insight, ability to concentrate/work in-depth for fairly intense periods in a solitary fashion as well as work well as a team member. I do a lot of WFH.

infp - writer- v happy.

are you looking at changing jobs op?

I'm an INFJ and I'm a historian. I deal only with dead people who can't cause problems or answer back, and I work on my own. It's even better than dealing with numbers! (former accountant).

INFJ here and work with animals and volunteers for a charity. Very rewarding, as I see the difference the dogs make to people with disabilities. I don’t think I would ever cope in the corporate world.

INFJ - I'm in client operations in a professional services firm. I'm much happier on the days where I'm doing solitary data analysis type stuff than the days I'm doing project calls and web presentations!! It's a fairly decent mix though, if I had to be super outgoing all the time it'd kill me. I work from home about 20/30% of the time.

Data. It's mostly just me and my spreadsheets. If I have to interact with people I can mainly do it via Skype.

@Helmetbymidnight I've just changed jobs. Previous job was out and about on my own and working 1:1 with people. New is going to have elements of that but I am at the office base much more and doing lots of group workshops. I just feel a bit stifled at the moment. I hate interruptions/chaos/last minute changes and I'm getting a lot of that at the moment. The role meets my values (helping vulnerable people) but not my work style IYSWIM.

I have a sideline which I could develop (working for myself from home). Just a bit scared of putting myself out there properly.

Just wondered if there was anything else I hadn't thought of!

You ignore it as the Myers Briggs is bad science and you would be just as well following your star sign in the daily paper!

I had to google what on Earth you're on about 🙈🙈

I’m an INFJ and my dream jobs would be
Writer
Historian
Working with animals.

It’s funny the answers to this question has listed all of these!

Everyone seems to be happier when they are predominantly working on focused tasks on their own.

Psychotherapist

What on earth is an INFG.

Teacher turned occupational therapist. It appeals to my ‘advocate’ side but I am not a fan of being in the office too much. I prefer being out and about 1-1 working directly with people.

DSis is an INTJ and recently retired teacher, Being a teacher (and mother and grandmother) was 'all' she ever wanted to be.

INFJ. Work in publishing but also a historian.

@LeoTimmyandVi I'm not an OT but something very similar. My old team were very keen on working on group projects/objectives which I largely managed to avoid towards the end. I really do care about people but on my terms I think!

Infp. Civil service - HR / Recruitment.

INFJ and currently a trainee teacher in a secondary school, I'm enjoying it but I want to move on to a special school and then educational psychology. Interesting to see how many INFJ's mention being teachers! X

Pensions lawyer. Spend day reading legislation, case law, practice notes, writing technical legal advice and drinking tea. It’s fine as jobs go. I have lovely colleagues :-)

INFJ and was a teacher. I now write and do admin jobs from home.

Find it really interesting how many were teachers/historians. I was a history teacher!
