Along with obsessing over astrology, taking personality quizzes is another popular craze. The most popular test is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Developed in the 1960s, this assessment is still used today to measure personality types. Out of all the types, the “INFJ” personality is the rarest one.
What Is An “INFJ” Celebrity?
“INFJ” is one of the most special personality types. According to Master Class, only about one to three percent of people in the United States fall under this classification. The acronym best describes intuitive, introverted, feeling and judging people. These people, commonly referred to as the “advocate,” are very conscientious. More specifically, those with an “INFJ” personality are high achievers and creatives in their careers. For this reason, many Black celebrities easily fall into this category.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey is not only a legendary talk show host, but also an avid philanthropist. Her charitable efforts include The Oprah Winfrey Foundation, The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls and Oprah’s Angel Network. Winfrey fits into the “INFJ” group since she’s deeply empathetic and motivated.
Jamie Foxx
With a career as a prolific actor, comedian and singer, Jamie Foxx perfectly embodies the “INFJ” personality type. The Oscar winning actor dedicates lots of time and attention to his entertainment projects. In his roles, Foxx stays concentrated, from his comedic rhythm in “The Jamie Foxx Show” to his serious candor in “Django Unchained.”
Jada Pinkett Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith may have been introduced to the world as an actress, but she’s so more complex than that. Pinkett Smith is no stranger to engaging in introspective talks on her Facebook Live show “Red Table Talk.” In addition, the multi-hyphenate star expressed her intuitive thoughts about her marriage and more in her 2023 memoir “Worthy.” Similar to most “INFJ” personalities, she’s empathetic and tapped in with her feelings.
Pharrell Williams
As a renowned producer, artist and fashion creative, Pharrell Williams is fulfilling his life’s purpose. Williams, like many “INFJ” personalities, is extremely driven. In 2023, Williams joined Louis Vuitton as the latest Men’s Creative Director. When it comes to music, he has collaborated with Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Beyoncé.
Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama is a class act, starting with being the former and first Black First Lady of the United States. Obama embodies all the “INFJ” characteristics. She’s intuitive, empathetic and dedicated to fighting for what’s right. From encouraging people to “go high” when people “go low,” the former First Lady literally defines the personality type.
Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar is both a culture shifting artist and a literary lyricist. The Compton, California, native shocked the hip-hop world with the 2024 release of his single “Not Like Us.” Lamar uses his “INFJ” fueled talent to create powerful rap music about the state of Black America and identity. His music is meaningful, feeling filled and overall deep.
