I too am INFJ and am interested in nursing, but don't know if it's right for me. I have ABSOLUTELY NO interest in x-rays or lab technology (And I never meet anyone in these jobs! Just nurses!), and don't want to have to get a Masters, so no physical therapy or occupational therapy (Also, physical therapy seems too sports-oriented, and I'm not a sports person). And I want to be involved in the field directly, not indirectly--not medical records, transcription, or billing and coding (I hate typing and do not want to work at home). I want people to think I care about them, and these jobs just don't convey that message. I've also consider medical assisting. Some people tell me these aren't introvert jobs, but some say otherwise.Jamie Ghionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508410672881133235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028740467286466743.post-12109326864684016722015-02-12T20:03:17.380-08:002015-02-12T20:03:17.380-08:00Hello! This is a very late reply...but I am hopin...Hello! This is a very late reply...but I am hoping you still might answer. I am an INFJ, and I do find I relate quite a lot to the description. I came across your blog because I am wondering whether nursing can be a good profession for an INFJ. I've noticed that most descriptions for INFJ do not include nursing, and many things about nursing seem like they would prove more challenging for an INFJ than others - it seems most nursing is very fast-paced, lots of details, lots of patients, and lots and lots of interpersonal dynamics going on with lots of different people - not all of it positive or supportive. I have often hidden away in cubicle jobs for fear of not being able to handle more....but I am very unsatisfied, and have recently been thinking about nursing. I originally thought of the therapy jobs that are usually suggested for INFJ, but they seemed less fulfilling to me than nursing might be. Do you have any thoughts/advice about how nursing is for an INFJ and how to succeed?

As I have ...I love that you wrote about about this. As I have grown to know you over the years, I so appreciate what you add to my life and the rich friendship we share. When I realized how much like Andrew you really were I understood you better as I learned to live with him (not always easy as an ESFJ, a drastic and complete opposite of him ;) And I also realized that even though I can learn to give him/you the space you need, it's okay that I won't truly 'understand' they way you tick. And for a compulsive extrovert, that's been a learning curve in and of itself! I love you ;) -AmiOne Mother's Journal...https://www.blogger.com/profile/17376804595417520801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028740467286466743.post-77408080364437593192010-12-27T10:28:46.741-08:002010-12-27T10:28:46.741-08:00I am an ISFJ.

I'd say I can play the extrovert when I need to - and often at work, I must play the extrovert, but I really enjoy quiet time alone and time with T and I together. I don't have a large circle of friends and I like it that way. I'm a very emotional person and that definitely shows in the way I interact with people. <br /><br />T on the other hand is an ESTJ, although I wouldn't consider him an extrovert in most situations. I think in work life, he is an extrovert because of his desire to get ahead in the business world, but personally, he'd rather spend time alone or together with me in quiet situations. <br /><br />I find these things very interesting. I wouldn't say my personality type has made me feel excluded or misunderstood, but I guess that's part of my extreme emotional personality. I try to relate through emotion to everyone. I think it's all about finding people that you relate well to and keeping them around. Sounds like Andrew is one of those people for you!
