INFP

The literary [talent} evident in this type derives from the combination of intuition and feeling. Intuition supplies imagination and insight, feeling supplies the urge to communicate and share, and the command of language is apparently a joint product of intuition’s facility with symbols, and feeling’s artistic discrimination and taste. Thus, all for NF types should have the aptitude. However, the extraverted types…and even the introverted intuitives who extravert with feeling…are likely to take shortcuts and do their communicating by the spoken word, as teachers, clergy, psychologists, and so on. Introverted feeling in INFPs is so reserved that they often prefer the written word as the way to communicate what they feel without making personal contact.

(p. 98, Briggs Myers, 1980)
