How to spot INFPs (Mediators):
INFPs (Mediators) share the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting personality traits.
They don’t crave status as much as they want to be seen, heard, and respected for who they are. You may find them expressing creative ideas and advocating for the underdog. However, they can take criticism very personally and may need extra reassurance after tough feedback.
