INFJ — The Visionary
Reads people with great sensitivity and sees where things are heading.
Who is The Visionary
The Visionary notices things in people that they don't know about themselves. They sense the subtext of a conversation and often anticipate how a situation will end. Inside, they hold a clear picture of how the world should be, and a quiet persistence to bring it closer.
They are selective in relationships: a few deep connections matter more than a hundred acquaintances. They need their work to have meaning, or they burn out quickly.
