INFP Inner Gardener

You lovingly tend your own values and feelings.

A single song you love or one line that stayed with you can hold your attention for a long time. You may seem calm on the outside, but inside you have a clear sense of wanting to live true to yourself. You notice small feelings others walk past and quietly look after them.

At work

You show remarkable focus when your work connects to values you believe in. You tend to fit best where there's autonomy and trust instead of strict orders, plus time to refine your thoughts on your own.

In relationships

It takes you a while to get close, but once you open up, you work hard to truly understand the other person. Approaching you with "I'm curious what you think" rather than criticism is the way to hear what's really on your mind.
