INFP: 21 Career Choices for an INFP

by Alan Holmes

If you’ve ever wanted to learn all there is to learn about INFP careers, you’re looking at the right book! The INFP is introverted, intuitive, feeling and percieving, and these traits have a direct impact on the types of careers to which they tend to gravitate and in which they are most likely to succeed. This book highlights some of the fascinating and perhaps surprising careers where INFPs can make their greatest impact on the professional world.

There is zero evidence of any form of research, not interviews, personal accounts, nor scientific information. All the content is solely based on Holmes's personal and unsubstantiated opinions. There is a biased focus solely on the arts, as if INFPs have no interest or aptitude for science. Some suggested careers are repetitive and overlapping, which is a waste, given that only 21 jobs are listed e.g. novelist and poet; and mental health counselor and psychotherapist. There are also odd inconsistencies in the suggestions e.g. violinist (why not a musician in general? What about a saxaphonist etc?). Speech Therapy is suggested as a career to the exclusion of all other comparative healthcare professions such as Music Therapy and Occupational Therapy. One particular suggestion was especially irritating in the complete disregard and basic understanding of the INFP personality, and that is the suggestion of becoming a journalist (a profession requiring extroversion, aggression, conflict, love of limelight). Some suggestions are outright lazy i.e. environmentalist (unduly vague. Are we talking lawyer? Politician? Park ranger?). The author bangs on about jobs that suit the INFP's passion for ethics and meaning, but takes little heed to whether suggested jobs actually suit the specific INFP personality traits. Overall a lazy, disappointing, half-baked and half-assed book. No research, little thought, all fluff.
