@@EqualityOnEarth Yes, Germany is probably the best option. UK second. Thank you so much! Let me know what you think of the book once you’ve read it :-)
One of my worst jobs would be to be actively involved in politics. Politics is a dirty business, full of bullshit and power games etc. But I am writing a book about politics. That might sound counterintuitive to many. The reason is that I think the role of political theorist, particularly when it encompasses a philosophy which aims to be thorough and profound, very much suits the INFJ personality. [It worked for a certain Austrian dictator lol] It has the human element allied to the detachment which INFJs are readily capable of, but without the problems of communicating directly with other humans and dealing in hierarchy, which we hate. The visionary can let loose, but also with an eye to reality in a human and practical way. The depth of insight and conviction to help make things better can be ideally combined. I have long felt my ideal role to be someone who is the ideas guy, the visionary behind the scenes/controller but not subordinate to him/her. An essential and important role, just not the one who does the dynamic bidding. I want the credit and visibility but only in a passive way, except for a close inner circle. I think this is also why in general INFJs make good writers. It gives us time to think and allows creative expression.
I’m an INFJ & work in Government Admin (my role has a little bit of customer contact, mostly by email). With being autistic, there’s a bit of a conflict. I love gathering knowledge on specific tidbits & giving advice, but dealing with strict demands & bureaucracy can be irksome. I think relationships with your work colleagues in whatever sector will make a big impact on your happiness in work too, more specifically for INFJ’s.
I can confirm relationships with coworker make the difference, on my happiness and mental health. Some peaceful and benevolent people, who accept you as you are, when you feel connection, and no judgement. One of the reasons I like to be at my temporary work. So pleasing to be with many introverts, pratically never conflicts. INFJ.
Administration - kill me now Politics - for all that is Holy NO! Entrepreneurs - oof handicapped by practical application Marketing/Sales - sweet mercy why? Accounting - thwarted by math 😂
I never could understand why shallowness drove me crazy. I always thought it had to do with others and their flaws, until I learned about being an INFJ and my perspective which I thought was normal and I am learning it is not. I watched your best jobs video before this. Researching a topic to death and writing, writing, writing are my favorite past-times, but I told my husband the other day, I would really love helping people choose pool finishes for their swimming pools. Now how's that for a lucrative career? Ha, ha! I'm a 55 year-old grandma who raised a daughter and six sons fulltime. Raising my six little birdies was the best career ever!! Now they have flown the nest and I'm trying to settle on a new occupation and I think analyzing it is more fun than actually getting into something. I find myself keeping busy offering to help people multiple times per week with a myriad of service opportunities.
Worst job for me was either customer service (I was spat at, fondled, yelled at, had to clean people's bodily fluids, told to kill myself, etc.-- very worst of humanity on display) or aspects of teaching in a public school (the teaching itself was not the overwhelming bit). Those you mentioned all sound horrendous as well. On the flip side, I thoroughly enjoyed working in a coffee shop/library, as during down times I was allowed to read or write. Other pleasant jobs were as an amateur graphic designer doing freelance, editing a friend's short stories, and as a receptionist for a trade company (of which, I can credit my unhealthy obsession with stationary and office supplies. haha). My current business is pleasant enough, but I long to do something more meaningful in the long-term.
@@matilda4406 Glad to see someone else in the comments shares my affinity for stationery. Did you also enjoy going school shopping for books and writing utensils when you were younger? I recall being enthralled with those shop aisles each new school year. There's nothing quite like a crisp new notebook with blank pages to write in. :D

People often say that customer service jobs are some of the worst jobs to have, but almost every job requires some measure of customer service. I don't think it would bring most INFJs into a state of nirvana, but it could be satisfying to know that you are often able to solve problems, and eliminate stress for someone. As people who believe in justice, harmony, and supporting the underdog there could be some satisfaction there. Customer service may not be the INFJ's best job, but they are clearly good for customer service.
@@notthatvashti8127 Good point. I often went above and beyond for customers, due to what you said. However, burnout was inevitable as the only recompense was a paycheck which barely paid the bills, so not worth it longterm.
@@loref4200 Agreed. It can wear on you, and with the climate we live in today it could be down right dangerous.

Love your videos! INFJ doctor here, mostly attracted to areas in medicine where I have to analyse and where I have 1-1 contact with patients. Did research before and data analysis (accounting) and that burned me out! With Fe I think INFJs like human interactions. Thats my personal opinion :) Thanks for the awesome videos!

@@RensRoom Exactly! :-) So I worked in different contemplative fields; geriatrics, psychiatry, internal departments etc. So more analysis and less practical hands on work.

@@martadias906 Can you work in a private clinic where you have less patients or can you only do that after your specialisation? Or perhaps offer psychotherapy sessions?

@@EqualityOnEarth What do you think of neurology? I have been thinking about pursuing it, but I'm really confused if I would enjoy medicine as an INFJ. (Because of how time consuming it is mainly, as I like keeping many creative side hobbies)
This is unique for me because, I have worked in administration and research positions and enjoyed them. However, usually in the behind the scenes or small work areas where I did not have to work with the public at large or in-person daily. I could never work in direct Customer Service positions were the main actions were to pickup calls with regards to billing, collections, or technical problems or in-person constantly listening to conflict. Customers raging about their issues is too negative for me to absorb in my daily work life. It is exhausting for me.

@@RensRoom A bit of tongue-in-cheek there from me but it would not be a first choice for many. However, if one had this kind of job, viewing it that way could help bring some joy every day.
I definitely agree with you on this list. The only thing I would change is to put politics as the worst job. Though maybe thats because my view of politics is based on the catastrophe we have in the US.
I definitely agree with you!! I was interested in the political sector awhile ago and then realized it would be DANGEROUS to actually do the kind of things that need to be done. Our system is too far gone, and the general population is so easy to control. Watching all of it the past five years has been incredibly draining. There is no room for altruistic, futuristic types. It's a cesspool.
I think it would be a nice option for INFJs to choose a detective path, not necessarily like a criminal-police detective as this would be bad for INFJs cause they’ll doubt themselves and feel guilty if they make a wrong conclusion. But I think we are very good at digging up things and finding them when people think there isn’t a way or they don’t exist. Not sure what kind of career that would be. What do you think? 😆 I personally like IT it is very logical and is about problem solving and the IT environment contains a lot of introverts. I work as a network engineer and everyone in my section minds their own business.

Thank you, oowhh! So the five best work roles are? My redeeming aspect of working in admin roles was talking to people. Though I always got in trouble talking to people at school and at work. Therefore, number #1 evil is - talking to people!! I guess in all my circles I was four square, need to find new circles
I can think of a few: sex work; customer service; any job that provides no mental stimulation or requires no creativity; therapist and philosopher. See what I did there?
As an INFJ, I have been repulsed by politics practically all my life. I could just sense the lack of sincerity and falsehoods even as a child. A position of analyst, researcher, counselor or therapist feel more comfortable and natural to me than the vast majority of occupations out there. I also love creative writing and have been this way as far back as I can remember. Your list is quite accurate in my own experience Ranaud! Thank you for what you do here my friend✨
I think there are worse jobs for INFJ like: police, military or maybe even some construction work positions. I think accounting or administrative jobs are more to the neural side, definitely not fulfilling, but there is a lot of alone time in these jobs which can be a benefit for INFJs. I think some of the worse positions for INFJs include jobs with a lot of stress/pressure.
I am an INFJ Accountant, enneagram 5w6. Yes, in overall it’s not a fulfilling career if you ask me. However, I have identified that working in FP&A suits me better - and you need to be a qualified Accountant as well. In my opinion if an INFJ consider a career in Consulting, that can be quite fulfilling. Also, I volunteer to causes I believe, so I explore my creative freedem and spontaneity that way.
I would think accounting would be a great job for INFJ's. Maybe not as a creative outlet, but being able to work independently without constant oversight. Many accountants are independent contractors. Many have no need for big customer service skills. I think I would be content working as an accountant, but too late in my career to get the education to pursue this.
Renaud, I am wondering if you enjoy making INFJ videos now more than before since you have a book about the same (INFJ) subject now? Ni likes to have a sense of interconnected unity in all things they do? So everything resolves about that same one thing? Does the subject speak more to the imagination now?
Definitely. Since writing and publishing the book I find that I'm more comfortable than ever discussing INFJ topics. It's like everything has fallen into place through the concrete realisation of my Ni intuitions.
I'm an infj, I find stock trading is a good fit for me. I'm independent, so all of my work is analyzing, decision making, and patience. I think the personality type of an infj can easily outperform other traders in this market. And I don't have to deal with people at all, except when they influence the markets such as overselling or over buying, but it creates an opportunity for me to make money.
Hi Alain, I don't think studying marketing & sales was necessarily a bad idea. As long as you stay on the more creative-strategic side of marketing, you should be fine. :-) My focus was more pointedly on the sales aspect.
@@alainfranken7081 Lol, I see. 😅 Well, in any case, keep in mind that this is only my perspective... I'm sure there can be many exceptions to what I have said generally. Hopefully you will be one of those exceptions, Alain!

I would think accounting would be a great job for INFJ's. Maybe not as a creative outlet, but being able to work independently without constant oversight. Many accountants are independent contractors. Many have no need for big customer service skills. I think I would be content working as an accountant, but too late in my career to get the education to pursue this.
Renaud, I am wondering if you enjoy making INFJ videos now more than before since you have a book about the same (INFJ) subject now? Ni likes to have a sense of interconnected unity in all things they do? So everything resolves about that same one thing? Does the subject speak more to the imagination now?
Definitely. Since writing and publishing the book I find that I'm more comfortable than ever discussing INFJ topics. It's like everything has fallen into place through the concrete realisation of my Ni intuitions.
🤗❤👍Hope you've had a great day. 🌄
Cindy! I did, now spending some quality time with Hazelnut. Hope you’re having a good day as well
@@RensRoom Glad your day went well, and what a nice way to end the day, with sweet Miss Hazelnut. 🤗❤😻
Thank you for this perspective, and best of luck with your book!
Phenomenal video! Feels so spot on.
Thank you!
So good! 👍
Hi Renaud, hope ur doing great 🎉I’m waiting on your book which I ordered 2 weeks ago. I cant wait anymore to read it haha
I'm an infj, I find stock trading is a good fit for me. I'm independent, so all of my work is analyzing, decision making, and patience. I think the personality type of an infj can easily outperform other traders in this market. And I don't have to deal with people at all, except when they influence the markets such as overselling or over buying, but it creates an opportunity for me to make money.
Pls do you teach how to stock trade or how I can go about it. I would love to get into this. Thanks
@@Chillingisbae I saw your comment on another video as well. About accounting, aur also doing acca or something like that?
Hmmh I just did a 4 year bachelor study in marketing & sales. Fml. But what jobs would be BEST for the infj?
Hi Alain, I don't think studying marketing & sales was necessarily a bad idea. As long as you stay on the more creative-strategic side of marketing, you should be fine. :-) My focus was more pointedly on the sales aspect.
@@RensRoom Hi Renaud, sadly I specialized in the sales part the last year 😅
@@alainfranken7081 Lol, I see. 😅 Well, in any case, keep in mind that this is only my perspective... I'm sure there can be many exceptions to what I have said generally. Hopefully you will be one of those exceptions, Alain!
Well said.
Nice video. Do you have another with the analysis for 5 good jobs.
Soon :)
Does your book offer any job/ career recommendations?
Not directly but certainly indirectly. I’ve also a video on best jobs for INFJs coming out next Thursday :)
