Franchisee Type Profile - INFJ

Introverted - iNtuitive - Feeling - Judger

While every individual is unique, people who share the same Personality Type are remarkably similar in many important ways. This Franchisee Type Profile identifies your potential Strengths and Blind Spots. Pay close attention to these, as well as your Success Strategies - they can greatly increase your odds of being a successful franchisee.

Your Personality Type At a Glance INFJs are sensitive, committed, hardworking, and perceptive people with deep feelings, integrity and strong convictions. They are often excellent listeners, skilled at generating enlightened and creative solutions. Thoughtful and careful decision makers, INFJs often need time to let ideas "percolate" before taking action. INFJs are often perfectionistic, highly focused, and driven to accomplish their goals. Rather formal and reserved, INFJs can be difficult to read. It's important that their values need to be understood and respected. INFJs are not receptive to people who are insensitive, impatient, dismissive or sarcastic.

Able to understand the big picture, discern patterns and see trends Someone who can focus all your attention and concentrate on one task at a time Planful, organized and driven to meet your goals and deadlines Perceptive about people and a good communicator Full of integrity and inspire respect and loyalty in others

Targeting the Right Opportunities

Knowing your personality type can help you identify those franchise opportunities that can give you the greatest satisfaction and success. Below are five "Key Career Satisfiers" for your type, which reflect your natural strengths and core values. Determining which of these satisfiers are most important to you, can help you identify the opportunity that you will find most rewarding.

What your type profile does not reveal, is which ones you may have a strong interest in. And, the more interested you are in a certain opportunity, the more satisfied you are likely to be. For example: If you really enjoy working with young children, owning a child care franchise may hold great appeal for you. Or, if you love words and writing, then a franchise which produces publications might be a better fit for you.
