Each personality type can potentially irritate other people in their own particular way.
The potential ways in which an INFJ can irritate others include not including others sufficiently in the vision, not giving criticism or expressing disagreement when it is appropriate, and ignoring current realities in pursuit of a more enduring insight and meaning. You may overlook some tasks that need to be done, make errors of fact, and want to pursue idealistic plans without fully thinking through the tangible consequences (e.g.: the cost or logistics involved).
You can overcome personality type differences by learning about your similarities and differences with other people. This leads to greater understanding, appreciation, and respect. Also, if you learn to adapt your style this will make you more influential and respected.
There is a comprehensive guide on how to do this in the book Influencing People Using Myers Briggs. This is available as an option when you complete the personality test.
