I'm studying psychology (and love it) which is a young science. there is a lot of research opportuinites withing psychology since its a pretty broad field.
I'm a registered nurse, but I quit for a while and worked in Behavioral Precert for some time. I think psychology and behavioral health-related is really an interesting field for INFPs. There's just a lot of growth there, you know? And it's interesting. Except if an INFP is too Introverted (say, more than 80%), the INFP won't really enjoy this as much because you need to focus on people, different people, for longer periods of time (or it depends).
I think it really depends on the specific INFP. @RatherThan could try writing in a science field, maybe even behavioral sciences that s/he enjoys.
Hey- im an INFP and ive always been really interested in a research or 'scientist' type of job- like being able to discover and explore new things about a subject(love the idea of a lab job) besides a few other things. One of my favourite subjects is chemistry, but... i sort of really dont like physics. i cant exactly figure what i want to study. Ive been bouncing around zoology, experimental psychology, human resources, i even like programming and geology. But here I found neuro science- love psychology love chemistry... but is it way too theoretical of a major for me as an INFP? Im also worried because again, i dont like physics, the formulas and like im not really interested in knowing how inanimate objects work. So would neuroscience still work for me?
