INFJ
Summary
INFJ's are inventive nurturers with a solid
feeling of individual honesty and a drive to help
other people understand their potential. Inventive and committed, they have an ability for helping other people with unique answers for their own difficulties. INFJ's have a one of a kind capacity to intuit others' feelings and inspirations, and will regularly know how another person is feeling before that individual knows it himself. They put stock in their bits of knowledge about others and have solid confidence in their capacity to peruse
individuals. Despite the fact that they are delicate, they are also reserved; the INFJ is a private sort, and is particular about sharing personal thoughts and feelings.

How to Attract
Be a complete mystery that is in desperate need
of solving. Be a contradiction and continuously
throw them off, they will feel compelled to figure
out just what is going on with you. Speak in
metaphors and bring up interesting and in depth
topics. Be kind but somewhat wounded, so that
they feel the need to shelter you.
