I am a Type 8 (8w9)and an INFJ. I am not sure if I see a conflict between my assertiveness and idealist empathic tendencies. I just channelize my strength and passion towards empathic endeavours. Many times empowering others and acting in defense of others unable to protect themselves (both empathic objectives) requires a great deal of assertiveness. The part about inner conflict doesn't hold true in my case:happy:

well shit...almost just took the words out of my mouth

Weird your an INFJ 8w9 I thought that I might be the only INFJ that was an 8w9 quite a bummer actually
