Here’s What You Need to be Inspired, Based On Your Myers-Briggs® Personality Type
By
Susan Storm
August 5, 2023
Inspiration is something everyone craves in life.
Yet in the hustle and bustle of responsibilities, the rush of packed schedules, and the distractions of devices and social media, we can often feel devoid of inspiration.
Life can start to feel like a cage without windows of opportunity or possibility to light the way.
What one person needs to be inspired can be very different from what someone else needs.
You often see this in relationships;
one partner is looking one direction for inspiration while the other is looking in the opposite direction.
What if we knew what inspired us?
What if we knew what would inspire the people we love?
Kofi Annan famously said, “Knowledge is power. Information is liberating.”
I hope that you can use the information and knowledge in this article to guide you down a path that will be ultimately fulfilling and meaningful for you.

ISTJ inspirations
You believe that life is made up of thousands of intricate details and precious moments, each brimming with significance. Every day, you strive to perfect those moments and, in doing so, you create a tapestry of beauty and meaning. Whether it’s savoring a soft morning breeze as the sun gently rises or immersing yourself in one of your cherished hobbies, you find solace in the richness of the details, relishing in the joy they bring. Moreover, you derive immense satisfaction from the knowledge that your life exudes a sense of continuity and stability, serving as a reliable pillar of support for your loved ones. You preserve a sense of routine and tradition that gives life a stable and timeless feel.
A busy schedule, chaotic surroundings, and constant hustle and bustle can deplete your inspiration. It is in moments of peace and solitude that you rediscover your inner compass. It is crucial to spend time alone, whether in nature’s embrace or a personal space like a room or workshop, where you can immerse yourself in hobbies or projects that ignite your passion and bring enlightenment.
Ways to Increase Your Inspiration:
Schedule out alone time every day
Cancel non-essential responsibilities
Create a space that is all your own and personalize it to your specific tastes
Create a positive and healthy morning routine that sets you on the right foot
Make a playlist of songs that sets the tone for your day and puts you in a good mood
Practice mindfulness exercises such as yoga or meditation to achieve clarity of mind
Find a hobby or pastime that stimulates your curiosity and awakens your creativity
Take time each day to appreciate the little things and be grateful for what you have.

The INTJ
INTJ inspirations
For you, satisfaction comes from the constant search for meaning and deeper understanding. You’re thrilled when unraveling the mysteries that lie “behind the curtain” of everyday normal events. Whether you’re reading Carl Sagan over a cup of coffee or pondering the constellations of glowing stars at night, your radar is finely tuned to cosmic significance and profound insights. The rush you feel when envisioning the future and attempting to imagine what lies ahead is unparalleled. You find solace and inspiration in moments of quiet meditation and deep contemplation, as they enhance your ability to grasp the profound intricacies of the world around you.
Achieving an objective also brings a profound sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. The act of crossing off tasks on a to-do list, making strides towards a goal, or enhancing the efficiency of your surroundings is truly gratifying. Planning, decision-making, creating, and refining structure provide a deep sense of purpose and contentment. In contrast, disorder, a chaotic schedule, and a lack of direction can leave you feeling drained and unmotivated.
Ways to Increase Your Inspiration:
Organize one part of your life to run more effectively
Set goals with realistic deadlines
Make time for peaceful meditation and reflection
Write down ideas as they come to you
Spend more time at the library
Get enough sleep (most adults need between 7-9 hours per night)
Spend time alone in nature
Put efforts towards a cause that lies close to your heart

The ISFJ
ISFJ inspiration needs
Your inspiration stems from the small details in life that create meaning, beauty, and timelessness. You’re deeply moved by the beauty of the world, and you find joy in simple moments. Whether you’re admiring the lush shades of fall leaves whispering through an autumn breeze or staring at the stars in wonder, your appreciation for aesthetics is matched only by your admiration of people and their stories. You understand the strength of relationships and how connection can enrich your life. Your cultural awareness and understanding of the importance of tradition bring about a sense of security, as you use it to ground yourself in the present moment.
The hustle and bustle of a busy life can leave you feeling empty, especially when tasks become mundane and take away from precious time spent with loved ones or with your own thoughts. Negativity, criticism, and over-scheduling can leave you feeling drained, as you’re constantly giving and rarely taking or resting.
Ways to Increase Your Inspiration:
Make time for yourself each day; let go of the idea that every minute should be filled with something productive
If you have a lot of busywork to do, play some peaceful music to help you feel more calm
Take a break from technology and embrace nature
Find a creative outlet that brings you joy;writing, painting, sculpting, or photography
Spend time with people who energize you instead of draining your energy
Read inspiring books about people’s life journeys
Practice deep breathing (or box breathing) when you feel stressed

The INFJ
INFJ inspiration needs
You thrive in the realm of ideas, concepts, and mysteries. Your passion lies in your ability to envision a future that is better than the present; one that reflects humanity’s best potential. You draw inspiration from this vision and strive to create it with every action you take. Naturally empathetic, you are deeply moved by persons who have overcome immense hardship and have triumphed against all odds. You’re inspired when you see the beauty of a person’s soul, even in the darkest moments of life.
You find yourself uninspired when your creative energy is blocked or suppressed, or when there is too much focus on materialism and superficial appearances. Negative thinking or criticism can also quickly zap your motivation and leave you feeling discouraged. Being surrounded by people for too long can also leave you feeling exhausted.
Ways to Increase Your Inspiration:
Take time each day to sit in stillness and meditate
Make a list of activities that will help you recharge, such as spending time alone or with loved ones, reading a good book, or taking a walk in nature
When possible, take time out of your day to do something artistic; draw, paint, write poetry or play music

Remind yourself that your ideas have the power to change the world

The ESTJ
ESTJ inspiration needs
You experience a deep sense of contentment when your goals are within reach and you can see yourself making consistent forward-progress towards achieving them. The feeling of having structure, order, and efficiency in your day brings a sense of confidence that all is under control. Moreover, it brings you immense joy to know that your goals are perfectly aligned with what truly matters to you – that you are living a life of integrity, purpose, and not merely chasing material possessions, but rather focusing on personal growth and fulfillment.
When you become overwhelmed with the need to complete too many tasks at once, or when there are no clear steps towards a goal, it can be difficult for you to stay motivated and inspired. Sometimes you can feel so driven by task accomplishment that you forget to notice what matters most in life. You may feel that too many people are depending on you for you to take a moment to relax. Additionally, if you are surrounded by people who lack discipline or emotional control, you may find yourself feeling uninspired, rattled, and run-down.
Ways to Increase Your Inspiration:
When creating a daily routine, add in some time for quiet reflection or simple calming activities
Make time for exercise, this will increase stress-reducing endorphins and boost your well-being and health
Spend time in nature and observe the world around you – watch the sun rise or set, listen to birds singing, etc.

The ENTJ
ENTJ inspiration needs
You are inspired by the ability to achieve great things and bring about meaningful change in the world. Your ambition is fueled by your sense of purpose, and you’re never content until your inner vision has become a reality. Your satisfaction lies in the pursuit of a meaningful goal. Ambition and the ability to think strategically drive you forward through life’s challenges. You also relish engaging in philosophical discussions, exploring abstract concepts, and envisioning the potential of the future. Rather than fixating on superficial details, you seek to understand the intricate workings of the universe and its interconnections.
You may become uninspired when surrounded by people who lack the same kind of ambition or vision that you have – this can cause you to quickly feel drained. If your current goals are too mundane or trivial, it can also be hard for you to stay motivated.

Raw, authentic meaningful conversations that get to the heart of what matters can also bring out your energy and enthusiasm.
You may become uninspired if your current projects lack meaning or purpose, or when you’re in an environment where others don’t share your same values and vision. Shallow conversations or conflict-ridden environments can also make it hard for you stay motivated.

Creating things with your hands brings you a sense of fulfillment, whether you’re strumming a guitar to create a new song, crafting a table out of wood, or building a computer from scratch. You also delight in being fully present in your environment, taking in the sights of breathtaking landscapes, the melody of chirping birds and crashing waves, the tastes of exotic cuisines, and the textures of soft sand or rough tree bark. Whether you’re exploring the depths of the ocean on a deep-sea diving adventure or meticulously designing blueprints for your dream house, you embrace the vast array of resources available in your environment, finding joy in every discovery and experience.
As an introverted thinking type, you also find joy in discovering truth and learning about the world around you. You may find yourself spending hours researching a new topic or honing a complicated skill that might intimidate other types.

If you’re pulled into a lot of meaningless social activities, it can also become difficult for you to maintain your enthusiasm and inspiration.

Read books related to topics that interest you

You are inspired by solving mental puzzles and understanding the world around you. Your analytical mind loves to explore complex ideas, uncover the truth behind them, and develop mental models that provide clarity. You can become so absorbed in your own thoughts that you forget about the external world and the world of your mind comes alive with tantalizing ideas, thought-provoking discoveries, or questions you can’t help but try to solve.
You also love a good intellectual challenge, whether it be discussing abstract concepts or debating a topic with someone who can think on the same level as you. Without mental stimulation, you quickly become bored and uninspired. You are driven by the desire for mastery and knowledge and enjoy learning about everything from physics to mythology. You may become uninspired when your environment is too rigid and structured – you need ample time and space to think freely and explore theories without feeling restricted. You may also feel overwhelmed when you have a lot of social demands or when people around you are emotionally reactive.

It’s a feeling of joy and freedom that can’t be matched by anything. You also love finding beauty in your environment – it could be something majestic like a mountain range or a rainbow, but it could also be as simple as noticing the intricate patterns of a spiderweb in the morning dew.
You may become uninspired when you’re stuck in an environment that’s too rigid and structured – you need time and space to express your true self without feeling restricted.

As you uncover your values, you strive to align your life with them, making conscious choices that bring you closer to your authentic self.
In your pursuit of personal growth and self-expression, you are not afraid to challenge the status quo. When confronted with rules or systems that you perceive as oppressive, you feel a surge of exhilaration and a burning desire to break free. You possess an innate rebellious spirit that fuels your quest for freedom and individuality.
Just like a house with many rooms, you are a multifaceted individual with various dimensions to your personality.

You become uninspired when you lack freedom and autonomy – when rules, protocols, or hierarchies restrict your ability to make decisions and take action. And while you can appreciate the value of structure in certain environments, too much of it will stifle you and dampen your enthusiasm.

You thrive in environments where you can express your creativity and explore the depths of your imagination.
You love discussing ideas, exploring different perspectives, and pushing boundaries.
You have an innate appreciation for beauty; any sight, sound, or texture that connects you to the profound you will bring a sense of joy and purpose. In order to feel inspired, you need to feel connected with something greater than yourself – something that speaks to your soul and gives you the courage to express yourself fully. You also need to feel like you’re living in alignment with your convictions; a pursuit of something meaningful. You could harness this need in supporting charities or advocating for a cause you believe in.
Complacency can be a major source of uninspiration for you; if everything feels too predictable or mundane, then your enthusiasm wanes and apathy takes over.

What Are Your Thoughts?
No matter what your Myers-Briggs® personality type is, feeling inspired comes from within. It requires you to take a step back and reflect on what really matters to you in life.

Take some time to think about these questions and how they relate to your own unique situation. Once you have a clearer idea of what inspires and motivates you, take action – be bold and experiment with different experiences until you find something that sticks.
