    Advocate
    Personality

    INFJ-A / INFJ-T
    WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

    Career Paths
    “It’s better to fail while striving
    for something wonderful,
    challenging, adventurous, and
    uncertain than to say, ‘I don’t
    want to try because I may not
    succeed completely.’”
    Jimmy Carter

    Advocates (INFJs) long to find a career


    that aligns with their values and their
    dreams – a career that allows them to
    fulfill their unique mission in this world.
    For these personalities, a job isn’t
    satisfying if it doesn’t offer a deeper
    sense of purpose – no matter how good
    the salary is. The good news is that
    people with this personality type can use
    their creativity and determination to find
    work that suits their needs in just about
    any field.

    In fact, Advocates have trouble deciding


    which job is best for them because
    they’re able to imagine so many
    possibilities. They may see half a dozen
    wildly different paths forward, each with
    its own set of rewards. This can be
    exciting but also stress-inducing,
    because picking just one means letting
    go of so many others. Advocates may
    even feel a sense of loss when so many
    doors close because one was selected.

    The Search for Purpose


    For Advocate personalities, jobs that
    involve helping and connecting with
    people can be deeply satisfying. It’s no
    surprise, then, that many Advocates
    gravitate toward work as counselors,
    therapists, psychologists, social workers,
    teachers, yoga instructors, and spiritual
    leaders. They may enjoy service industry
    positions that allow them to interact
    directly and build genuine relationships
    with their customers. Careers in health
    care can also be rewarding options,
    including occupations such as nursing,
    physical or occupational therapy,
    medicine, nutrition, or more holistic paths
    such as acupuncture.

    Many Advocates are passionate


    communicators. This explains why they
    are often drawn to careers in writing,
    creating many popular books, blogs,
    stories, video games, and screenplays.
    For people with this personality type, the
    opportunity to tell stories for a living can
    be nothing short of a dream come true.
    Other Advocates might pursue music,
    photography, design, illustration, or fine
    art. Even if these artistic pursuits aren’t
    their primary job, many Advocates find
    that creative side hustles offer a much-
    needed outlet for the themes and ideas
    that occupy their imaginations.

    Nonprofit workplaces, from museums to


    nature centers to food pantries, also hold
    a special appeal. With their focus on
    serving the community rather than
    drawing a profit, these organizations can
    be a natural fit for Advocate
    personalities. But even in workplaces that
    are very much for-profit, Advocates can
    find ways to direct their energy and
    creativity toward helping others. No
    matter what it says on their business
    cards, Advocates’ insight can enable
    them to spot unusual patterns and come
    up with outside-the-box solutions,
    creating real change in others’ lives.

    A Sense of Mission
    Advocates are incredibly versatile, but
    some work environments may rub them
    the wrong way. This is especially true of
    workplaces that offer little independence
    or agency, forcing employees to adhere
    to rigid, repetitive protocols without
    regard for their individual needs or
    strengths. People with this personality
    type may also chafe at the criticism and
    pressure that come with cutthroat,
    competitive work environments.

    For this reason, many Advocates seek


    out more flexible, autonomous positions –
    or branch off altogether to start their own
    businesses. They may also find it
    gratifying to create bridges between
    seemingly disparate professional fields –
    for example, by writing about psychology
    or by being an environmental lawyer.
    Such hybrid careers can offer plenty of
    opportunities for Advocates to exercise
    their creativity and their love of learning.

    Advocates tend to feel stifled unless


    their work allows them the freedom
    to act according to their conscience,
    their creativity, and their own
    common sense.

    In truth, Advocate personalities can do


    well in any field. To be truly happy,
    however, they need to find work that
    aligns with their values and allows them
    some independence. Advocates crave
    opportunities to learn and grow alongside
    the people they are helping. When this
    happens, Advocates may finally feel that
    they are fulfilling their life’s mission,
    contributing to the well-being of
    humanity on a personal level.

    I'm an investigator. Being a LEO is of my proudest


    achievements. And my job is mentally challenging, so I
    love it. I'm kinda surprised this text did not mention
    LEOs as an advocate potential job.
