The best careers for an INFJ-T personality type, also known as the Advocate or the Counselor, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), will unfold naturally in this post. And… I happen to be one. And it can be hard for some INFJ-T personalities like mine, to focus on a specific career due the perfectionism trait. You may find it difficult to if you are an INFJ-T.
But all is not lost on this trait, there are many more great qualities that would lead you to the path of your dreams, but mostly your life’s purpose, if you are an INFJ-T.
That’s what an INFJ-T wants, meaning and purpose.
If you decide to take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and learn you are an INFJ-T also, here are some really great careers to consider. But first, let me share the indicator traits, according to 16 Personalities.
Introvert (I)
INFJ-Ts tend to be more focused on their inner world, gaining energy from solitude and reflection. They enjoy deep, meaningful conversations with a close-knit circle of friends.
Intuitive (N)
They are intuitive thinkers who look beyond the surface and are drawn to abstract ideas and concepts. They enjoy exploring possibilities and making connections between seemingly unrelated information.
Feeling (F)
INFJ-Ts rely on their emotions and values to make decisions. They are empathetic and highly attuned to the emotions of others, often prioritizing harmony and the well-being of those around them.
Judging (J)
Despite the “Turbulent” trait in your INFJ-T, they usually lean toward the judging side, meaning they prefer structure and organization. INFJ-Ts are reliable, responsible, and planning-oriented.
Turbulent (T)
The “Turbulent” aspect of INFJ-T suggests that they might have more self-doubt, perfectionism, and be more prone to stress compared to the “Assertive” INFJ-A type. However, this also makes them very motivated to self-improve and seek personal growth.
Careers for an INFJ-T
It’s quite ironic that my corporate career had a sales vibe for an extrovert, however, I was in a position to help others. Nevertheless, INFJ-T need to feel their work is their purpose, and I didn’t feel this way in my corporate life.
Writing is my passion, communication and meaningful connections are what I value most. So, it makes’ perfect sense I started a blog about career life and self-care.
But if you are not sure what career path to take as an INFJ-T here are a few you might want to consider.
Life Coach or Care Coach
If you have a desire to help others succeed in their life and in their careers, I encourage you to explore.
Counselor or Therapist
INFJ-Ts we are an empathic bunch with great intuitive skills and will listen to anyone at any time.
Pursuing careers as counselors in the mental health field or a relationship coach may be a rewarding experience and meaningful options for you.

To All My INFJ-Ts
The best careers for an INFJ-T personality type will be unique, that’s the way we want it.
We are sensitive people wanting to make a difference in the lives of others and in this world, Deep thinkers, the creatives and have more empathy than most. Lots to give to society.
