I've been fortunate as a unaware INFJ. As I knew as a boy that I was thinking much differently than peer children. I was wondering about the adults definitely. I was introverted but responded only to things after taking the reasonable time to come up with my own logical answer. So some thought I was either slow or different at least. One thru six are excellent points, plus you will develop many more tips depending on the career path certainly with the family support or not that is around you is what I have learned. I had very low family support as I was thought to be different growing up in the seventies.
Those that thought I was slow, well I left them in the dust in many areas of thought but also in physical activity quite readily. I was quiet but did every sport possible very well and them some as if I had a serious bucket list for life itself underway.
The one INFJ trait that persists is the “thinking trait” so the time taken to figure out an issue or problem or a challenge as we take it seriously. Once you encounter these scenario’s a few times they are easier to deal with. Just not the first time is my experience. Then its routine with incredible speed as an introvert, whalla! I was labeled in my early teens as “Spock” oddly suddenly, so then I knew I was thinking differently on a daily basis. I was being told as much by my friends and nicknamed?
So in 2018 I’ve been a graphic designer now for 42 years within an extreme broad range of projects including on-demand support for government for 21 of these years. During this time I experienced amazing things working with fellow designers, co-workers and executive staff.
最重要的问题是INFJ图形设计r is to have the necessary design autonomy to control the design aspects but to also manage all expectations of the client all at the same time with your skill level.
If not then “run” away from the job very quickly before it becomes a nightware for you the INFJ.
Why? I can only describe it as the INFJ’s ability to process information and visual 3D information at about four times the normal rate and keep going to completion. So not an IQ necessarily but pure thinking and visualizing speed within ones own mind.
I would sit with a client for a simple to complex project for about 20 minutes yet I complete the design in minutes on a napkin with 30 -50 requirements within a sketch using unified modeling or a custom process etc… takes shape immediately within my mind, and I did this for years.
Many of my fellow designers are excellent designers and are great people but we all work and think quite differently, quite often for many reasons which provided excellent diversity. Yet do we know the mechanics of out natural thinking and visualizing processes between all the MBTI’s 16 personality types?
Often my work had been chosen over fellow designers, not seeing all the projects I didn't realize this until after a couple years went by, then I was made aware as designers refused to submit work if I was present. Honestly I never understood why at the time, now I do. I asked why? As I certainly didn’t win every contract or project, yet I was on excellent terms with everyone. I was told my skill level was extremely high but I didn’t feel that was the case then. I know it was my experience so to many that’s the same thing, but not to me.
- Many are quite competitive, rude or silent if the INFJ appears to pull things out of the ether.
- My talent was overlooked intentionally not encouraged lately the last five years, refused training.
- In such cases the INFJ must simply seek a better and more supportive employer if at all possible.
- A INFJ risks being painted a target one minute then next targeted by jealous management types.
- I’ve worked for years with full autonomy which is perfect for the INFJ. A two person graphic team.
Now most graphics teams today are larger and specialized.
Micromanaging by inexperienced managers is a rampant issue as things are getting more complex not simpler.
Often I’ve asked to provide a solution to a problems in a group meeting in the open and I proceed after to gather the data and forward as asked. The INFJ solves a issue out of the ether beyond my pay grade due to our traits where we want to help everyone. When really now we are setup as targets by inferior middle managers trying to protect their jobs. See 10 years ago I didn’t have a manager to report to, all I did was make executive management look good.
Senior management looks good but middle managers see eventually that my successes pile up that they perceive as stolen opportunities from the middle manager’s success ladder on the way to the top.
The managers take on a disliking towards you for conflict managing the manager as technically you are just doing your job. So it’s time to move on to a new job for most INFJ’s.
As we are highly misunderstood. In that management processes do not allow for talents to be identified and built upon that get it all.
Now in 2018 I have quite a different perspective of myself and work in general, as personally it’s so important to work alone as my own boss independently now for the best results.
I cannot believe my life now from what I've learned about INFJ's and myself. To realize that most INFJ's work for themselves is best must be experienced. Then the many conflict issues should go away for an INFJ as long as you are a manager that’s reasonably proficient.
I find being an INFJ and being a designer as a perfect career choice. As a teen, I was given three option: Psychologist, Helicopter pilot/ Graphic Designer. Here I am and I have know about the personality types on now for perhaps 5 years now. So as I look back I was clearly a typical introverted INFJ A-T type working at a high pace for years quite happily.
Now, about two months ago I was diagnosed as having PTSD. So now I simply relax and feel much better but my mind is amazing its time to put health above all else. I am also planning now as its the time. So I hope this helps others as I don’t mind speaking about my experiences when it’s possible.
