I don't want to start with some big argument so I will with a small one.
This is just to get started.
As I have said in the other thread that I have impression that F take things too personaly. Sometimes they even create deep connection with something and they defend it at all cost even if it is very ilogical to do it.
What can be quite bad for them in business environment is alot of NTs.
NFs will say that they are good with people. But they are not that good with people because they have large problems with NTs. Every time NT becomes impersonal NFs suffer because of that and usually says that NT is acting like a jerk.
I disagree. At least this INFJ can handle most general NT/T bluntness. I have issues when the bluntness/criticism seems based on vengefulness or general dislike.
If someone whose opinion I care about is upset with me, it is very difficult for me to get past that.
Constructive criticism and general bluntness is fine.
I agree that it is a problem in the business/legal world--Fs often need to be able to disregard the opinion of others, but it's hard to develop, at least for me. I can't turn off my empathing, absorbing the feelings of those around me.
That said, I am a decently successful business owner and also have a career in a largely TJ dominated field. I am surprisingly *excellent* at negotiating settlements for my clients (who often don't have a bat's chance in hell), in large part, I believe, to my ability to connect with others.
All that said, I definitely think Fs can bring a lot to the table in business, etc.
