If you’re an INFP, chances are pretty good that you dislike or downright hate your career. Part of this is because we are idealists. We see things the way they should be and have troubles accepting the way things are. We keep our heads in the clouds where we come up with great ideas only to have them shot down by others. It’s frustrating and our constant frustration can lead to anger, resentment and hatred.
If you’re new to the work field, say a high school student, understand that you are unique. You should spend a lot of time deciding what career to go into. Don’t just make a quick decision like I did(“I’m good with computers. I’ll do Computer Science.”). It will bite you years down the line when you realize you’re constantly fighting your nature by pretending you’re someone else and trying to fit into a different world than what you were created for.
You will find INFP career lists like the one I’m about to show you all over the Internet. But the plain fact is that we can’t just look at a list and decide we’ll be, for instance, a therapist. We need to learn as much as possible about ourselves, our likes, our dislikes and our personalities. We then need to look at each career and decide: does it require me to use my strengths? Will I be forced to try to use my weakest personality traits as if they were my strongest?
And now on to the list. Check back often, because I’ll be including more information as it becomes available.

Hallelujah! Thank God I found you! Thank you for your extensive list. I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising in college and love to cook but my lifelong career ended up as Executive Assistant. I love helping people and making improvements but long for the thing God created me to do and hope (now at 50+) it’s not too late to figure that out and live it out.
This list is incredible! I do want to ask… for medical assistant did you mean physician assistant? Asking because it states “Provide healthcare services typically performed by a physician, under the supervision of a physician.” Also, medical assistants don’t get paid 98K…physician assistants also get paid more than that on average nowadays so just trying to clarify. Thank you.
Right, My thoughts too. Great resources, though!
This has to be the most extensive list I’ve ever read yet! It presents many options in potential career fields for those of us searching for our “niche”. Thanks a Bunch!
Thanks, very helpful
I have a question. Are all INFPs big picture oriented, or that has nothing with MB type? As an INFP who struggles very much with details I must say that Architecture is a Big NO for this type. The conceptual work takes only first few percents of the whole design proces, everything else is just an engineering work with so many details.
You’re wrong. As an INFP, I always wanted to be an architect and I’m really sure there are a lot of INFP’s who want to be architect. Yes they see the big picture but if they have too much passion about that thing they gonna understand and care every single detail about it.
Wish is one thing. I love architecture. It is as magic to me. But reality is diffrent. Working two years on one large design, drawing and counting details every day drains the last energy, and makes you wander why have you chosen this.
I am an INFP and I studied Civil Engineering as my major at college but i’m more inclined to Architecture,and I enjoy drawing and detailing different structures and have great attention to detail.
