Books for the INFJ
Don't simply vote for books that you perceive as being "INFJ-style" books, as we run the risk of falling into inaccurate stereotypes of what INFJs are really like. Instead, if you are an INFJ, simply use this list to vote for your favourite books, whatever they may be. This way we will glean a genuine insight into the literary tastes of the INFJ.
Lists by users of a given MBTI type:
NT: INTJ, INTP, ENTP, ENTJ.
NF: INFJ, INFP, INFX, ENFP, ENFJ.
SP: ISFP, ISTP, ESTP, ESFP.
SJ: ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ESFJ.

INFJ -- that's me! :)

I'm and INFJ as well and have read and enjoyed many of these. I'll have to check out the ones I haven't!
I too am an INFJ and have really liked quite a few of these books. :)
Excuse my ignorance but, could anyone tell me what an INFJ is?
Janet wrote: "Excuse my ignorance but, could anyone tell me what an INFJ is?"It's one of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types - generally considered to be the rarest type including only about 1% of the population. INFJ = Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging. INFJs are usually very bookish and like reads that they can get lost in...which is likely the purpose of this list.
They need to add The Mists of Avalon to the INFJ list.

Not to sound confrontational, but being an INFJ Im really disappointed in this list! We read in order to ESCAPE our heads and into a great romance, thrilling adventure and so on. Yes I have read and enjoyed a few but most of these sound extremely depressing or overly intellectual.
I have no idea what INFJ means, but I had a boatload of hits on this list!

Maybe I should make a Listopia for INFP? I was very bored by The Hobbit so perhaps do not really fit on this list.
I think this list is spot on for this INFJ! Anything on it that I've read, I love (with the exception of The 4 Agreements which I feel is inane). And apparently I had some great librarians in my younger years who guided me to the perfect books because most of my absolute favorite childhood books are on this list :)
POWER: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse: A Collection of Essays on Malignant Narcissism and Recovery from Emotional Abuse. I just read in this book that those with NPD really love to find an empath who is INFJ. The Narcissist can really torture this type! You might want to read this book!

> They need to add The Mists of Avalon to the INFJ listPreach! (it's in page 2)
Also Jane Eyre is my favourite book so I'm happy that it's number 2 in the list.
Anyone can add books to this list.
