Simple Ways To Motivate Each Myers-Briggs Type
Even the most hard-working and passionate individuals can have a hard time finding motivation. Everyone has different ways in which they are able to find their inspiration. Here are the best ways to motivate each Myers-Briggs type.
INFJ
INFJs are often extremely self-sufficient individuals, who need to look within in order to get their lives on track. Sometimes the best solution to help motivate an INFJ is to lend them an ear when they are feeling troubled. Having someone listen to them and give helpful insight can really get the INFJ motivated. Express how much you value them and share something with them that is personal. The INFJ also needs to time to recharge their social batteries, so they might just need some alone time in order to motivate themselves. For the INFJ to feel properly motivated, they have to believe in whatever it is they are doing.
ENFJ
ENFJs are often very self-motivated individuals who rarely find themselves in times of staying stagnant. The thing that motivates them the most is knowing that what they are doing it tending to the needs of those around them. They work very hard to take care of everyone’s needs and will go the extra mile to get the job done. Most ENFJs are constantly motivated, but like anyone they have their moments of feeling incapable of moving forward. If it is made clear to the ENFJ that someone they care about will be happy if they accomplish their goal, it will motivate them rather quickly. Knowing that people believe in them and are depending on them, is how they motivate the best.
INFP
For an INFP to feel motivated by something, they need to feel internally inspired by it. The best way to help motivate an INFP is by showing them that this task requires their unique creativity and imagination. They need to understand that their special abilities are important and should be shared with others. Sometimes if the INFP is feeling like they cannot become inspired, some kind of reward can help them accomplish their task. When they are feeling down, just knowing that they are working towards something rewarding, can help the INFP succeed. A sense of purpose and intent is one of the best ways to motivate the INFP.
ENFP
ENFPs can sometimes have a competitive streak, which is a great way to motivate them to accomplish their goals. When they see someone else working hard towards something similar to what the ENFP wants, it can really push them to work harder themselves. Their competitive nature can really be a key way to get them more motivated and help them snap out of a slump. Exploring new ideas or places can also be a great way to kick-start momentum for an ENFP. Just taking them out and trying some new things with them, or diving into intense conversations, might help the ENFP get going.
INTP
INTPs can be challenging to motivate, especially if they are required to do something that they do not enjoy. INTPs often need something that they can feel passionate about in order for them to work hard towards a goal. Sometimes discussing the issue with the INTP and coming up with logical reasons why they should get it done, can help them push past the wall they are experiencing. They need to be able to analyze their situation in order to become motivated by the potential outcome. Sometimes creating a reward for the task they need to accomplish can help the INTP gain a better habit towards doing what needs to be done.
ENTP
ENTPs are motivated by anything that excites them, they dislike remaining stagnant for too long. If the ENTP feels stuck in a rut, the best thing to do is take them on new adventures. Be willing to sit and debate with the ENTP for hours, just to get their minds going about something they are interested in. Sometimes discussing the task the ENTP needs to accomplish can help them gain some reasoning and understanding about their lack of motivation. ENTPs are often great are self-motivating, but if they need a little push it can really help to just get them outside of their comfort zone. They enjoy competition and anything that they see as a challenge really gets them excited.
INTJ
INTJs will often become motivated if they feel like the task can only be accomplished by someone like them. If it appears like another person won’t be able to get the job done, the INTJ will want to take that on themselves.

They need to have some sort of interest in what they are doing and if the work is not challenging enough the INTJ may not feel motivated to do it. The best way to motivate an INTJ is by ensuring them that they will gain much knowledge from their experience, making it hugely beneficial to them and everyone else.
ENTJ

A great way to motivate an ESFP is by giving some sort of tangible reward for their task. ESFPs enjoy living in the moment, so they need some sort of immediate gratification in order to feel motivated. They want to soak up life and get the most out of everything, which means that anything fun will be interesting to the ESFP. If you can make their task enjoyable by giving them rewards for certain accomplishments, they will instantly feel excited about it.
ISTP

Sometimes the ESTP needs clear reasoning why they MUST get the job done, as well as explaining the negative results if they do not take care of things.
