Harmonizer Clarifier: INFP

How Others May See Them INFP s find structures and rules confining and prefer to work autonomously. They are adaptable and flexible until something violates their inner values. Then they stop adapting. The resulting expression of value judgments can emerge with an intensity that is surprising to others.

Dealing with Change INFP s have clear inner values involving human growth and people through which they process and make decisions about everything.
