                                              The Portait of the Counselor (INFJ)


                                              The
                                              Counselor Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in
                                              reaching their goals, and enterprising and attentive in their
                                              interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in
                                              terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number
                                              of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since
                                              Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare
                                              of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. They work quite intensely with those
                                              close to them. This type has great depth of
                                              personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and
                                              deal with complex issues and people.




                                              Counselors can be hard to
                                              get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are
                                              reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they
                                              trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant
                                              to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive
                                              emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed,
                                              because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of
                                              others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them,
                                              which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people,
                                              mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who
                                              have known a Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as
                                              a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their
                                              integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious
                                              personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.


                                              Counselors have
                                              strong empathic abilities and can become aware of another's emotions or
                                              intentions -- good or evil -- even before that person is conscious of
                                              them. This "mind-reading" can take the form of feeling the hidden
                                              distress or illnesses of others to an extent which is difficult for
                                              other types to comprehend. Even Counselors can seldom tell how they
                                              came to penetrate others' feelings so keenly. Furthermore, the
                                              Counselor is most likely of all the types to demonstrate an ability to
                                              understand psychic phenomena and to have visions of human events, past,
                                              present, or future. What is known as ESP may well be exceptional
                                              intuitive ability-in both its forms, projection and introjection. Such
                                              supernormal intuition is found frequently in the Counselor, and can
                                              extend to people, things, and often events, taking the form of visions,
                                              episodes of foreknowledge, premonitions, auditory and visual images of
                                              things to come, as well as uncanny communications with certain
                                              individuals at a distance.


                                              Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt,
                                              Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker
                                              Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).
