🌿 A Journey into Psychological Type

Welcome to INFJ.com.
I’m Professor Vicky Joand I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, grounded, and truly transformational approach to type, you’re in the right place. This site is dedicated to INFJs, but welcomes anyone who is curious about the INFJ pattern — and attempts to reflect how anyone can grow into who they’re meant to become.

✦ Who Am I?

I’m a Depth Psychologist with a PhD in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. I’ve been certified as a Master Practitioner of the MBTI® since 1996, trained in the Interstrength Method™, and I’m a credentialed coach through the International Coaching Federation (PCC level).

I’ve taught university courses, presented at international conferences, and worked with individuals from all walks of life. I specialize in helping people uncover their typological pattern — and learn how to live in alignment with it. My work is rooted in Jungian ideas, but it’s also highly practical, experiential, and alive.

✦ Why INFJ.com?

I launched INFJ.com in 2001, back when I was going through coach training. I was exploring how typology could be more than a set of labels — how it could be a compass for self-awareness, purpose, and transformation. This site became a home for those ideas, and for a while, I poured everything into it.

But in 2011, I entered a demanding PhD program in Depth Psychology, and I had to set my web work aside. Something had to give, and INFJ.com quietly went dormant.

Now I’m back with a vengeance — and more enthusiastic about type than ever. I’m refreshing the site with new content, updated design, and deeper insights drawn from years of academic study and coaching practice.

These days, I’m also:

  • A Senior Editor for Psychological Perspectives, a journal published by the Los Angeles Jung Institute
  • Reliably identifying type patterns using my signature Calibrate Your Compass program
  • Exploring new adventures in travel, learning, and life

This site is growing again — and you’re invited to grow with it.

✦ What You’ll Find Here

This isn’t the kind of site where you’ll see things like “IPs do this” or “TJs always do that.” I don’t reduce people to letters or stereotypes. I see type as a complex, as C.G. Jung originally intended — a dynamic system rooted in values, patterns of consciousness, and the unfolding mystery of who we are.

I believe we’re born with a natural pattern that evolves over time — and typology gives us a map. It’s not the kind of map that tells you what to do — it helps you discover where you are, and who you might become.

Whether you’re INFJ-identified or not, if you’re someone who hungers for inner clarity, soulful guidance, and true psychological insight — you’re in the right place.

✦ Stay Connected

If you want to stay updated on new content or offerings, subscribe here. I don’t send email too often, but when I do, I try to make it worthwhile.

And if you’re ready to go deeper, I offer professional facilitation, one-on-one coaching, career exploration, and a special process called Interactive Guided Imagery — designed especially for INFJs and anyone who wants to flex their intuition.

Astute veteran visitors will rapidly deduce that the site is currently a mere shadow of its previous size. This is because I plan to update the site incrementally, rather than updating everything and debuting it all at once. Keep checking back as more pages come online, and eventually I match — and then exceed — its older size.

This site may never be “finished” — but that’s part of its magic. So explore. Discover. Come back often. There’s always more to learn.
