This Is Why There’s So Many INFJ (and INFP) Writers

“Tom I wanted to stop you really quick,” Alex Mathers— one of the best (and most creative) writers on Medium — said.

“Sure,”

“I read your introvert article yesterday, and I wanted to tell you that I’m an INFJ as well.”

In an instant, a slew of lock combinations in my mind simultaneously busted open.

Just last year I met a fellow HuffPo contributor who was an INFJ. She reached out over Twitter (such an INFJ thing to do).

When I wrote my article about introverts the other day, I had a ton of people commenting saying that they, too, are INFJ’s.

Heck, even J.K. Rowling is an INFJ.

WHAT IS IT WITH US?

To research my theory further — that many INFJ’s and P’s are drawn to being writers — I went to the internet.

Popular INFJ Writers

According to Book Riot, a couple popular INFJ + INFP writers are:

Plato, Mary Wollstonecraft, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Dante Alighieri, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Agatha Christie, Charlotte Brontë, J.K. Rowling, Carl Jung, and Leo Tolstoy.
