All Idealists
(NFs) share the following core characteristics:
- Idealists
are enthusiastic, they trust their intuition, yearn for romance, seek their
true self, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom.
- Idealists
pride themselves on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic.
- Idealists
tend to be giving, trusting, spiritual, and they are focused on personal journeys
and human potentials.
- Idealists
make intense mates, nurturing parents, and inspirational leaders.
Idealists,
as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development.
Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best
possible self--always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives
their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists
are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling,
in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are
gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow
as individuals and to fulfill their potentials.
Idealists are rare,
making up no more than 8 to 10 percent of the population. But their ability
to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence
far beyond their numbers.
