i found this interesting article by personality junkie

According to the author, there are three kinds of INFJs. There is the artist (Ni-Se), the theorist (Ni-Fe-Ti), and the councilor/advocate (Ni-Fe).
It sounds real enough to me, so I wanted to share it with you all and get your thoughts on the matter.
The part on "The INFJ Theorist (Ni-Fe-Ti)" resonated with me greatly:
"Especially with regard to F matters, INFJs are among the most intellectually formidable of all types. As natural students of human nature and the human condition (Fe), many take interest in psychology, literature, philosophy, and religion. Unlike INFPs, however, their chief concern doesn’t involve exploring the breadths of cultural diversity (e.g., anthropology) or the idiosyncrasies of the individual. Instead, like INTJs, they gravitate to we might call
universal theories—deep, enduring patterns that are independent of time and culture. Of course, literature and culture furnish important clues regarding the nature of such patterns, as depicted in the works of Jung, Nietzsche, Joseph Campbell, and others.
Unfortunately, INFJs’ natural theoretical style is often hamstrung in modern-day humanities departments, which are permeated by moral and cultural relativism. Academic psychology’s allegiance to empiricism and concurrent distrust of intuition may also prove off-putting. INFJ theorists may therefore find themselves without a comfortable niche in academia. They may thus feel forced to turn to the internet, podcasting, self-publishing, or other grassroots approaches for disseminating their ideas. However, this rarely feels entirely comfortable to them as IJ types, who relish neither entrepreneurship nor self-promotion.
Another option is for INFJs to explore avenues for
applying their theories. Here again we return to familiar roles such as counselor or advisor, as well as educator or minister, roles which allow them to impart their knowledge and insights (Ni) with an eye toward social, moral, or spiritual advancement (Fe)."
Yeah, that's me in a nutshell
