The Rarest Type: Intuitive Introvert as Visionary of the Collective Unconscious

The introverted intuitive type, like the extraverted intuitive, senses future possibilities and potential outcomes, but focuses inward. These individuals look at the big picture in the unconscious—the collective unconscious—where the archetypal patterns that that move nations, religions, and epochs lay, even in the midst of apparently “individual experiences.” They often appear as seers, prophets, poets, artists, or shamans. As an artist, the individual reveals strange, beautiful, and whimsical things in his work. If not an artist, he is often a misunderstood genius. On a more mundane level, such people are mystical daydreamers who struggle to communicate and are often misunderstood, lack self-awareness, and accomplish little. They move between images and possibilities, lost in the unconscious without forming personal connections. #infj #carljung #intuition #introvert
