“I believe the world can be better, and I'm willing to give everything for it.”

What each letter of INFJ means

IIntroversion↔ E ExtraversionEnergyDraws energy from solitude and thinks before speaking.
NIntuition↔ S SensingInformationTrusts patterns, implications and what is not yet visible.
FFeeling↔ T ThinkingDecisionsWeighs decisions on values and impact on people.
JJudging↔ P PerceivingStructurePrefers decisions made and plans settled.

The four letters are four separate scales, not a single score. You can sit near the middle on one and be firm on another — which is why two people with the same code are not the same person.

Assertive and Turbulent: INFJ-A and INFJ-T

The A/T suffix is a separate dimension describing how you respond to stress, not part of the original four letters. INFJ-A describes a more confident, steady response; INFJ-T describes a more self-questioning, perfectionist one. They are two versions of the same four-letter type, so the core description applies to both.
