INFJ Motivations

When people are energized, driven, and focused, it can usually be attributed to energy-driving behaviors. Therefore, it’s important to know what kinds of activities motivate each personality type.

INFJs have a deep desire to make a difference in the world - it’s what motivates them each day. They aspire to leave a lasting impact on others. When they’re able to do this, even in small ways, INFJs are likely to thrive.

They tend to recharge and reenergize on their own. INFJs need plenty of personal space to think and regroup, in order to feel motivated day-to-day. Others should be aware of this and allow them time to be alone.

They also love thinking about complex problems in a new, creative way. They are motivated by thinking through deep, complicated problems and trying to come up with innovative, lasting solutions. 

INFJs thrive when they are able to build deeper connections with the people they know. They enjoy taking the time to really get to know those around them on a more personal level and often feel more comfortable and at home when they feel like they truly know people.

They love predictability and are motivated by goals, routines, and organization. When their environment feels reliable and consistent, INFJs are likely to feel most safe and secure, which means they’re able to work confidently.

When INFJs are able to engage in energizing tasks, they’ll feel happier and more productive. They’ll be able to put their abilities to good use and enjoy the work they’re doing, which will likely improve their overall engagement in a work environment.
