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

[BarbaraFromOopNorth]

What do you do?

Lots of you working independently as writers, historians, etc. Not an awful lot of team working being mentioned.

Is that what you all prefer?

INFJ here, and I work in a small team looking at quality and patient safety. I love it!

I'm INFJ and I'm a nurse in medical receiving. Very sick patients and very fast paced.

I far prefer working on my own. Office politics really grinds my gears and I always got it wrong.

Stay at home mum. 2 little ones at home. It’s full on but I love it. I was a PA before and while I never disliked my job I certainly didn’t enjoy it. I plan to go back to work as a teaching assistant when my boys are in school

Infj and I work in change management / hr in the public sector

INFJ teacher 🙋‍♀️

Primary school teacher and half enjoy it!

INFP/INFJ evens, I'm a generalist tech geek turned manager. It's great.

INFJ editor and researcher, and occasional teacher :)

Can't stand being in an office although I'm not self-disciplined enough to work from home all the time.

I hate having to work in groups.

I’ve fluctuated between I and e over the times I’ve done it, I’m at e on the cusp of an i now, but IT project manager, I love that I get periods of working from home but also time out on site too.

I work in a team in publishing and there's a lot of team work in my history work.

Infj. I'm a management accountant, I work for my husband part time as and when I want. Total autonomy and control. I love it

I'm INFJ, I do insurance billing for a dental office. When I was the receptionist I enjoyed myself moderately but was completely drained at the end of the day. In billing, there's less constant interaction and I get an inordinate amount of pleasure from wringing money out of an insurance company for a patient. It also allows me to indulge my need for extreme organization!

INFJ I write / translate product descriptions. I am leading a team, but it's mainly a heads down & get on with it job.

INFJ, I work in the big 4 and always have. I find it draining, it is against my personality type, but I have still done ok!

Thanks everyone, this is really interesting. Keep them coming!

Isfj here, I work in human resources

@DPotter CAn you link to information on why it's bad science? Am interested.

Did this at work recently and am INFJ, I think. I'd have to double check the paperwork in the office. I'm public sector on a very small team (less than a handful), and I do a lot of stuff on IT/finance/admin, etc. I do interact with other teams, but most comms are via email. Suits me.

@postermadcatladyforever it's a personality type.

In-house lawyer. I quite like spending the odd day in the office with my very nice team, but prefer WFH which I am fortunately free to do as much as I like. There have to be some perks to being as old as the hills :)

My ideal day is when I have a meaty project to get on top of, am working from home and have complete solitude to crack on with it. I'm good at creative problem solving and analysis but I do it best on my own.

Don't have references to hand - studied it during undergrad Psychology degree. If I recall correctly the scale is an amalgam of different personality tests with no checking of the test before it was released and some dodgy stats; there is no internal consistency (you can get wildly different results with repeat testing).

INJF - academic. Mostly research and 1:1 work. Group meetings making me terribly anxious. My job suits me perfectly.

I am INFJ and am an office manager for a law firm. Twenty years in HR too. Will be retraining as a psychotherapist.

Quite a few of us have been there in some shape or another hence the reason so many of us are saying to dump his sorry arse. It's not going to improve and you sound lovely.
