How You Feel About Doing Favors, According to Your Personality Type

Some people enjoy doing favors for others, since they feel better helping them. For some this can seem like a waste of energy, and they much prefer to have more of a reason for doing something for someone else. Here is how you feel about doing favors, based on your personality type.

 

INFJ

They don’t mind being someone who does favors for others, and actually enjoy being someone who can help people improve their situations.

They don’t mind doing favors and might even enjoy being someone that others can turn to in these situations.

They might not find themselves incapable of turning people down when the favor seems out of reach, but they will do their best with reasonable things.

ENTJs don’t mind helping people, but a favor can sometimes be a negative in their minds.
