What’s the Best Hobby for INFJs? Let’s Find Something That Feeds Your Soul

If you’re an INFJ, you’re not looking for a quick distraction. You want a hobby that brings peace, purpose, and a sense of identity. Let’s explore your options.

INFJs are deep feelers, creative thinkers, and often a little burned out from a world that doesn’t always “get” them. A good hobby isn’t just about fun—it’s about *meaning*, *expression*, and *quiet restoration*. The best hobbies for INFJs are ones that feel like coming home.

Top 5 Hobbies That Fit the INFJ Personality

  • 1. Creative Writing – INFJs often have rich inner worlds. Writing stories, poetry, or journaling gives that world a voice.
  • 2. Gardening – It’s peaceful, purposeful, and symbolic. INFJs find joy in nurturing something beautiful over time.
  • 3. Painting or Drawing – Visual expression lets INFJs communicate emotions they can’t always explain verbally.
  • 4. Reading & Book Clubs – Whether diving into philosophical works or soulful fiction, INFJs love meaningful discussion and quiet thought.
  • 5. Pottery – This might be the most INFJ-perfect hobby of all…

Why Pottery Is a Beautiful Match for INFJs

Imagine this: a quiet room filled with creative energy. Clay spinning under your hands. Soft voices. No pressure to perform. No need to explain your emotions—just express them through form, shape, and texture.

The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah was built for people just like you. It’s peaceful, soulful, and completely aligned with the INFJ vibe. Here’s why INFJs thrive in our space:

  • It’s reflective: Pottery is slow, mindful, and meditative—perfect for introspection.
  • It’s meaningful: You can create pieces that symbolize your values, emotions, and growth.

  • It’s community—without the overwhelm: Connect gently with other creative souls at your own pace.
