#INFJ #INFP #MBTI
I'm an INFJ and my brother an INFP. He's very into the music from his youth in the 70's, becoming very passionate and animated when he talks about this, his favorite topic. He enthuses about how brilliant The Monkees were for example compared to todays bands and seems oblivious to the fact that other people may have different musical tastes that are equally valid to his. I on the other hand will be, perhaps too considerate, of other people's tastes and listen to their thoughts before I share my own. Even if I disagree with them, I'll prioritise harmonising with them and moderate my views so that they feel heard. I actually do this a lot less since my personal growth work but tuning into and being on the same wavelength is still important to me. My brother on the other hand would just say very strongly what he likes/dislikes with far less (if any) emphasis on harmony.
Awesome comment.
...and now I'm back to not knowing 😖
@@lilgorgo Oh no. Sorry if I've confused you. I think Introverted feeling v extroverted feeling perhaps comes down to how easily you know what you value (INFP) versus not knowing (INFJ). My neighbour ENFP says she knows what she likes and values, it's just easy for her to know that. I as an INFJ tend to be very attuned to others and what they want/like/need and knowing what I value is kind of more fluid and changeable, it doesn't feel very stable, solid and clear. I am definitely very changeable. I think that's because my perspective shifts so easily, from me, to another, to another and then me. Like my brother might say, he doesn't like a particular restaurant and doesn't want to go there and that remains true over time, whereas for me it kinda depends on various factors, I often don't have such a clear sense of that kind of thing and also it will easily change over time. Hope this helps. It took me ages to confidently land and stay landed on INFJ!
@@HelenThomasCreativeHealer Thank you for the amazing comments. They resonate with me so much. I feel exactly the same about harmonising with peoples opinions even if I disagree because I want to make them feel heard and the hard part is trying to make them see your view without making them feel bad or wrong. You have to be very tactful. I wasn't always like this though. Im more mature now but before I would just listen and never really disagree with people. It would only be after the conversation that I would reflect and be like "They are so wrong". Then id ignore them or doorslam lol. But not anymore because deep down I truly want to help people.
Thank you! Very thorough analysis. I actually partially disagree with you on your description of how Ti works in an INFJ, particularly with your car model. Personally, as an INFJ, yes, I will and need to pop open the trunk of the car and look around carefully before driving, but I won't bother to do so unless I know specifically why I am doing it first. An analogy I've heard is, if I were being instructed to make a cake, I would refuse to crack one egg before I know exactly what kind of cake I'm making and why. But if I do know, and it makes sense to me and I am personally invested, then I will make that cake with my whole heart, and try to analyze every part of it. Time is very valuable to me, and I don't like to invest time into learning something if it doesn't fit into my overall life patterning and goals (Ni).
Very true, Ti will always be subserviant to the Ni goal, though the INFJ would be more comfortable stopping and taking time to fully understand than say maybe the IxTJ who wants to grab that Te and get going. I always say that as an INTJ I "information hunt", instead of reading a book in its entirety I will flip to the information I need, read it, then move on and start using it. Ti types tend to prefer that process of understanding before they are ready to start applying.
They of course aren't Ti doms though haha and that Ni comes first.
Thanks for watching!
@@AsuraPsych Thanks for the reply! I agree entirely. But, ack, the idea of doing that with a book hurts me, haha. Keep rocking your Te though.
@@AsuraPsych Well I tought I was an INFJ but I pretty much do what you described INTJs do with the book 😅😅 I go straight to search for the information I need and just see a little of what's around, but that's it. I really dislike long procedures and limits to usage like "you can't do this before" ahhrg I hate it!
However, I'm also pretty stressed, so maybe that's a sign of me being unhealthy? I see myself a lof in many INFJ traits ... however I can see INFP ones in me too
I know that J&P reversed for introverts. But wow, no one ever tell me it's actually based on the secondary function. This one really well defined.
Yeah something a lot of people overlook haha. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
As what I understand, J or P really depends on the Extraverted Function of the first two main cognitive functions of each person. So if it is Ne or Se on their first two main functions, the last letter as for the MBTI types is Perceiving. And so do the otherwise, Fe and Te will make it Judging as the last letter of the MBTI types. And I also learnt that this Extraverted functions (out of the 2 main functions) is the function that appears to the external word, at least at the very beginning. As for INFP who has Ne as the first extraverted function, may appear not that organized (if this makes sense for you) than they really are. On the other hand, INFJ with their Fe may appear more organized than they actually are.
@@igedeastina4077 That's basically a wrong concept. Intuintion and sensor is basically perceiving functions (Ni Ne Si Se), while feeling and thinking is judging functions (Fi Fe Ti Te). At first I thought basically the same like you, since it is said that introverts indeed would be more tricky to type, but then that's kinda absurd. There will be a clear distinction between TiNe and Fine, SiFe and NiFe, or NiTe and SiTe. The first function still present and pretty much affect the second function products in real world. Hence it is more makes sense like what Asura said that it refers to second function. Introvert with second extroverted judging function will want to make things done, while the one with extroverted perceiving function would less likely.
@@astavas8341 can you tell me which part of my words that you found wrong? Or is it the whole thing? I am still learning these Typology and Cognitive Functions things.
@@igedeastina4077 Your way of determining whether J or P and your conclusion. Indeed theoretically it would be the same answer. But try to apply it by typing someone, you'll most likely confused. Fe and Te will make it judging because indeed it is a judging functions. But the same goes for their introverted functions. It will still appear to be so in the real world as well, but what differs it is basically their another functions. For example INTP might looks rigid and decisive because of they are dom judging (Ti). But then later on because of their Ne you'll see they kinda suffer to make decisions much like ENTP. It's just how the way how it appears in the real world are the exact opposite like what you say. But I could be wrong since each person perceive things differently. I might be able to caught another person introverted functions easily, but you might not, and vice versa.
I've found an interesting example of Fi with my ENFP friend. When sending funny memes, my ENFP usually sends things that are interesting to him and stuff that's within his niche of entertainment. Meanwhile my own algorithm is tainted with stuff other people like because I usually only send them stuff specifically of their interests.
No one has ever shown the difference between the two types and explained the functions in a concise understandable way the way you just did. I always struggled in understanding them even though I read so much and watched so many videos! Thank you!
I also like that you talk real quick, you’re like here I will give you all the info you need without wasting your time. Which I really appreciate as I always prefer to read instead of watch videos because I can do it faster. Thank you really!
I am an INFJ and my best friend is an INFP. The Amount of knowledge you have concerning mbti types is amazing and spot on. You've also helped me to understand quite a bit about myself. I love your channel! Keep up the great work!
I always tested as INFP and that felt mostly true for a long time. But eventually I started seeing problems in how INFPs are portrayed that didn't seem fitting. I assumed there must be a lot of flexibility in how INFPs show up. It wasn't until I started understanding Ni that I realized this was actually the primary function I have been using. It was confusing because I really thought I had Fi. I understand values and have a similar way of orienting my moral decisions, but I noticed that I don't have this confidence to judge the good/bad nature of something without first subjecting it to a process of analysis. I really don't know how I feel about things until a case has been made for it, so I am more likely to suspend judgment. I think you captured this difference really well in this video. Intuition is a slow-burning process although it resolves with similar values, they are just not derived from feeling, but perceiving first. This is one of the main reasons I have to believe I am an INFJ.
Other signals that I was off track was that I really didn't have this desire to be quirky and distinctive in the way I dress. I definitely don't try to convey my personality strongly through clothes although I do have the occasional item that speaks to me that I work into my fashion. I am just not interested in pushing it out there for people to see. The same thing applies with expressing opinions. I found that I didn't have a fiery desire to respond passionately to issues, but rather my approach was more stoic. I valued sitting with it, marinating, exploring, accumulating added insight, looking for clarity. But when I have solidified an understanding of a moral framework that I think holds up I am passionate and unshakeable in my conviction. I do not casually release any moral value, because I did not casually come to the conclusion so it can be hard to persuade me of anything although I am committed to hearing and being open and thoughtful.
I don't have problems with working and I don't get hung up on differences of values with my bosses. I believe everyone does their particular kind of thing well and I don't expect it to be a mirror of my values. I may come to think a business is unethical or a leader is selfish but it is a drawn out process proven by that leaders consistent actions.
I actually had the same exact experience with being mistyped as an INFP for years untill I learned more.
This is how my family describes me,
"You are open to discussion and a new perspective but incredibly hard headed inside,so it's tough to make you change your decisions once you've made them. "
@@mshahidee03 Haha! Yup! That sounds so familiar! I totally get you!
A huge frustration I have is when people approach topics, or issues casually as though all the relevant information is out there and you can confidently feel like you've arrived at the right take immediately. Someone who does not know how to have a civil conversation is never going to be able to unpack complicated ideas without tripping over landmines. But even still, after years of having *principles* demonstrated over and over again it starts to seem that there really are repeating patterns of ideas which show parallels to other topics. When you get a sense, say for why a tree doesn't blow over you may for instance start to develop a conceptual network of ideas that similarly "root you" to reality in the same way a tree knows how to grasp the ground and can't be easily toppled. At some point I really am like an old embedded tree, but it is in the principles that continue to nourish me and hold up. I'm not a complete relativist or even a total moderate on all issues. I have so much more to say about what I don't know than what I do, however if I say I •do• know I have a shit ton of backup and experience informing that.
@@BrewerArts I'm still pretty young (almost 20) so I feel like I still have A LOT more time to develop many aspects of my life still. I do notice that there are a lot of reccuring patterns in many things and try to connect this pattern in my own inventory.
It's like I already have built a base,and Now I'm just picking up things that compliment the base and organizing them on top of that base.
@@BrewerArts or another analogy could be that I've built a bookcase and have identified/marked the bookcase. Now I'm just finding the books I love, or creating personal notes of my surroundings and putting them in the bookcase.
There are many different topics and genres,but you can see how they can be connected to each other in a way that feels cohesive.
Like what you say about level of one 's maturity/ life experience as to how personality functions manifest. As Infj, I can identify with some of the inf p traits ( but I am DEFINITELY infj). Your knowledge is impressive on the subject. Great video!
thank you for the video! i really like how clearly you lay out thoughts and wanted to compliment your oratory skills. [>]> 👍👍👍👍
i was mistyped for a few years as infp myself, but as soon as i got into mbti more, the difference between these two was - not particularly easy, but manageable - to spot, thanks to the vids like yours.
i also think in comparison lies understanding and just discussing the one type vs another type helps out greatly to see the nature of types. thank u again :3
This was a great video. You really popped a lot of the strong misconceptions about the INFJ.
Great in-depth video. Raises a few questions about how INFP acts on their values, though... having a judging introverted function dominant and judging extroverted function as inferior. Seems like a contradiction, where there is a great deal of conviction and yet little implementation. Similar to how INFJ will have a sense of “knowing” things through an intutive process and yet misses details in front of their noses. Btw, the coffee sponsorship at the end was adorable. If I drank coffee, I’d be down for it. 😅
I just finished a nice cup of tea...
@@hollyharte7831 Nice. Drinking tea as I am reading your comment, Holly. Cheers. 👍😂
@@Sharkuterie327😂 ☕🙏☕🤣🙌🙌
I hope one day you'll make a video about introverted thinking in the infj, i think most of us are bad at it yet we want to develep it ❤️
The little movie going on inside my head makes complete sense as an infj lol and yes I need time before I make a moral judgement on something. Thank you for explaining the dominant functions so well; I never really got it before.
Great in depth explanation! I enjoy the perspectives on what the different functions mean in each position.
Also, your Fi endorsement of the coffee is adorable, lol XD
You're the only person I've heard describe the internal workings of NiFe as a "projector" other than myself. Very interesting! Great video. Truly useful when there is existing knowledge of the cognitive functions (which is less common than dichotomy knowledge, unfortunately!).
I feel kinda similar as an INFP tbh although it tends to be more to do with memories. Fi-Si is all about feelings and memories of the past but throw in a bit of Ne and you got yourself a time travel machine lol.
While having strong Fi is in a lot a ways a curse it can be a shit ton of fun to take a past memory and "play" with it. Sure the memory is painful and so is remembering it but honestly its so powerful to reconstruct or reinturpt it in a new light.
Also INFP's also have really strong Ni (just unvalued) and so sometimes it does feel like im just walking through a dream that I may one day wake up from.
I’m like 99% sure I’m an INFJ, as I have had two best friends who are INFP and their strong gut reactions to specific things I can’t relate to. I definitely feel like a Fe user. While I don’t have the need to express myself with fashion, I don’t really care what others think about what I wear (unless they find my clothing risqué-I would have a hard time with people thinking I’m dressing for attention). While I don’t have strong Fi I do think I have a higher use of Fi than what is typically described in INFJ’s, which makes me doubt it maybe I’m an INFP, can anyone else relate?
Thanks to your video I just found out that I am an INFJINFP 😂 Honestly, I can relate to both 😓
Your thumbnail game is 🔥
Very concise explanation and differentiation :) thanks
Most part I agree with you but one thing is INFP keep things open until every puzzles is solved even though internal values guide them it doesn’t mean they’re stuck to one point but move along as things are getting unfold. INFJ ‘s introverted intuition makes them inflexible since they prefer perfect plan or thing and tend to be stuck to where it doesn’t go with their internal value or thoughts. INTJ and INFJ have formed some kinds of formulas regarding of how to work so they’re stuck to certain ways instead of going with flow or being spontaneous!
However, thank you for your works 😊
I love both types 💞 and both types love me 😉
I promise from my very fi 😂 I can understand as an intj too
I have watched many comparisons of infp and infjs, and this was the best. I found your channel yesterday and I think you do a superb job at explaining ! Can’t wait to watch more
Thank you!! You helped me “Type” my younger brother as an INFP. I suspected he was an INFP, but needed it to be highlighted a good bit, and you did that. 👍🏻 Thanks! I’m going to try that coffee, the French Toast flavor! ☕️
Lol, I first watched your video about the many shades of the INFP, and my first impression was literally: he's gotta be an INTJ... then I checked your about section, and I were correct :)
Shout out to the French toast coffee 😁🔈🔉🔊
Brilliant content. Well presented and explained Thank you!
4:20 ish, unless I misunderstood, I feel like ENFPs, for instance, very often won't correct someone because they are affiliative and want to maintain group harmony, in my experience.
Yes, ENFP have strong unconscious Fe.
That ain't my experience with ENFPs. They just aren't dicks about it like ENXJs might be.
@@maddiesiegmund5623 um I agree that ENFPs can be disagreeable and nice about it but I don't agree that ENFJs are disagreeable and dicks about it. NTJs are a different story, but it's mostly due to being pragmatic, and having low Fe. It's not necessarily intentional.
Thanks for the detailed contrast. Looks like I'm still a hybrid!
How is it that an INFJ, with Se in the 4th slot, struggles more with self-care than an INFP, with Se in the 7th slot?
Very easy to tell. I’m an INFJ, my husband is INFP. Both introverts, conflict avoidant, etc. I NFJ loves to plan, I NFP hates it, they’re more spontaneous and prefer to bumblebee or just do whatever they feel like in the moment. INFP has their own set of values in feelings, and they are the stereotypical stubborn mule, you will never get them to do something that they don’t want to do. They have introverted feeling, their own feelings and values. Where, as an INFJ has extroverted feeling, while we do have our own feelings, we often can feel what other people around us are feeling, so we tend to be peacemakers just because we can feel the contention and it makes us really uncomfortable.
INFJ’s can often get into a planning, thinking, loop, analyzing everything, where as the INFP will start thinking about the possibilities of what they actually are seeing and feeling.
INFJ’s struggle more with being present in the moment, and just going with the flow. INFPs struggle more with any sort of planning, and making an actual strategy to accomplish their goals.
This is weird for me. I'm certainly an infp now, but i most certainly had infj traits up until i was about 17 or 18. I used to daydream and playback everything i saw, like a movie in my head; i didn't care about authenticity and would mostly meet halfway with others like you mentioned. I even had my own weird subjective view and ideas of the world that I'd never share with anyone because they'd think I'm weird. I used to be warm and friendly despite how others treated me, etc
But now it's like none of these traits are there, i refuse to meet people halfway for anything, i tend to not care about the Ti things you mentioned, but rather became more Te like where i just need to get it done, I'm even growing my hair out now as a guy, which seems Fi(which i wouldn't have even cared about as a kid).
One thing that's always been constant is difficulty with details and taking care of sensory needs. I tend to overlook specifics and go through just the big picture and think I'm done, when in reality i later realize how much i missed after getting into trouble. But you said Ni doms overlook details when they work fast, it's actually the opposite for me; i tend to overlook details all the time, but when I'm working fast and am really focused towards a goal, i tend to notice even the tiniest details and obsess over them, which seems like Si; but then again, i couldn't pay attention to details if my life depended on it, as a kid.
Would trauma/life experiences totally change the type of a person?
I am an infp and I have a very open mind and I'm not sure if I agree with you on the diplomacy issue because I find myself to be very diplomatic and desire to listen to both sides of the story or acknowledge both sides of the coin in order to come to a resolution, after all INFPS ARE MEDIATORS between Parties while the INFJS ARE ADVOCATES for a specific party.
Great video, I had already enjoyed the older ones you had made on that same topic, but a new, more detailed video on that subject is a treat. Thank you for this!
I have a minor disagreement on something though... the repressed extroverted sensing in INFJs. As a female INFJ, I wouldn't say that it causes us to overlook the outside sensory world, but rather to obsess over it, sometimes on small details. For instance, I really dislike leaving the house in the morning without making sure that my shoes are the same colour as my jacket, my earrings are the same colour as my blouse or trousers or skirt, I need to have my perfume on, make sure my hair is ok, etc. And I'm not a fashionista by any means. It just puts me in a foul mood during the whole day if my outfit doesn't look right. Whereas it makes my day if I feel that my clothes and altogether appearance are well assorted. Same goes for buying furniture for your house, etc. We like matching colours. We like things to look good, smell good, etc. This in my experience is something that is secondary to INFPs, while it's quite important to INFJs.
Great point! Repressed functions can manifest in both overattention/obsession to the things associated with it as well as underattention. For example, some INTJs overindulge in food, some forget to eat.
Thanks for watching!
AsuraPsych and some do both depending on the day 😭 Maybe the inf function might be better understood as a disregulation stemming from overreliance on the dominant, rather than too much or too little attention on the domain of the inferior?
Yes, agreed. I have an infp daughter and can attest the se blindness is maddening at times. She is such a gifted artist, writer, musician, singer, but has no desire for order. I dated an infp with a heart of gold and he showed up on the first date in months ungroomed, messy looking, and wearing a shirt that said, Busy Doing Nothing. I would be so embarassed to wear that shirt! And then he showed up another day in the same shirt. I was so perplexed trying to figure out why he would want to make that impression with a woman he is trying to get to know or impress with his best self. I am never busy doing nothing. I always have a purpose for what I do and hate wasting time....Or maybe he didn't care to impress me except with his philosophical musings. I'm still perplexed.... I adore infp's but I cannot stand the disorderliness, procrastination, lack of ambition, and non-interest in the sensory experience in a romantic partner. I'm sure there are things about infjs which drive them crazy as well. Can anyone help me understand this?
About a couple minutes I'm thinking you are INTJ because you are explaining the the j and p differences in these types much more clearly and straight forward then I've seen before. I have a picture in my head of how I would describe the J/P difference, but it's just an image in my head that I haven't yet penned to paper. Also, I think your description of INFJ explains to some degree why I sometimes feel like a DVD with extended scenes, that many will never get to see.
the best explanation between these types Ive seen so far. great job!
I've been thinking I might be an INFP (I admit to spending very little, in-depth research on this.) However, this is the first video that made me think differently. I appreciate so much that you describe functions without attaching subtle judgments, jokes, or too much emotion to them. Helps me give less biased assessments of how they may apply to me... On another note, I do wonder if my mother is an INFP and if it is possible that I might mimic her and some of her INFP traits sometimes since I am so close to her, and spend a lot of time with her (especially now lol).
Thank you for all your hard work you have helped me make sense of something that has been bugging me for years my buddy I've worked with that was my boss then I was his boss and now we're both just employees know he's an infp I'm an intj you just confirmed it in this video
I have fell in love of the coffee brand.
In response to your car analogy (which is not a bad analogy): as an INFJ, I don't care so much about getting there vs knowing what is getting me there; it's more a question of: Where am I going and why? The how isn't so important. Sure, I want to get there the best (and most efficient) way possible, and having a basic underlying understanding of how I'm getting there is also important. (I'll fill in the details as I go.) But more important to me is: Why am I going somewhere in the first place? Once that is determined, I will consider the best way to get there, which involves weighing my options. So I guess that sounds more Te than Ti?
HEY ASURAPSYCH! excellent explanation of why i would consistently test as and INFJ and yet, underneath, experience "reality" as an INFP. fangirl etc.
It’s funny that like all the cognitive function tests have given me the result that yes mostly Ni, then Fe and then Ti, but instead if Se I have gotten almost everytime that my last function would be Si. I don’t know if it’s because my dad is an ISTJ so he has dominant Si, but I still am now very sure that I’m INFJ. One weird thing about me is also that even though I’m INFJ I dress the exact wat that I want even though it’s definitely no the typical way that people dress like. My style is like light academia, coquette and princesscore. I just decided that even though I get anxiety because of it I need to go to my uncomfortzone and live this one life that I want the way I want, and in the end no one is really going to care, even if I think so. Maybe that’s also why I have wondered if I’m an INFP, because I will fight for the social harmony and middleground, but I’m still going to do what I want with my life.
Of these two INFJ seems closer to me, but I am starting to think I might be an Si dom ISTJ. Good video, thanks for the content
This was quite interesting.
I’ve been trying to clearly type myself and my daughter for some time now. We are very similar and I’ve been thinking that either of us is an INFJ or INFP.
She enjoys drawing and reading fantasy books and is always talking about the “characters” in a story - where I definitely do not draw and am much more interested in the “message” from a story.
In other words, for me, how can the message better improve my understanding of the core truth of humanity (how to be a better human) is important.
Additionally, I find listening to negative music - for example “gangsta music” that talks about killing or overtly sexulized music to be a waste of time - and watching “Horror” movies the same - not a productive use of time.
She has always been challenged with sensory issues (as a woman this is more of a critical issue) - but I have sensory issues as well.
However, I make an effort to stay presentable and have common clothes that I regularly wear to cut down on time required to think about what to wear. Mostly black.
What you said about authenticity really resonated with me. Like if I could, I would put this as the first line in my Resume.
In another type explanation I saw recently it said that FJ types seem to be interested in the message of a story while FP types are more interested in the characters so I was thinking I may be an FJ, and my daughter an FP, but considering your point about authenticity it seems like I should be an FP while my daughter would be an FJ due to her sensory issues (which are probably worse than mine).
Another point I found interesting was that you related logic to making a decision about values. This resonates with me because I absolutely despise “lying” because it is just not at all logical and is a big waste of time for all parties involved. I would say this is probably less important for my daughter - while honest in general, she seems to always stand in the middle on opinions on things and I wouldn’t be surprised if she would be open to a “white lie” if the situation demanded it.
Another thing I wanted to mention is that maybe it is difficult for INFPs to settle on a type because their Authenticity demands an absolute answer. So they can never say “I am an INFP!” with as much conviction as an INFJ could say “I am an INFJ!”.
I am still not sure what type I am (I was also thinking I was an INTJ for a while) or my daughter is, and maybe never will know - maybe this makes me an FP - lol - who knows!?
Anyway, thanks for the content!
I found your comment really insightful, have you figured out your typing? my mom and I are both INFx as well btw!
@@aliasailusvonni
Thanks for the comment!
Unfortunately, I have not come to a conclusion yet.
However, I’ve been leaning towards possibly being an NT type recently because I’ve found that I’m generally quite concerned about “precision” in communication and have a decent competency in technical things - which kind of sounds more like an NT type.
For example if something doesn’t make sense, regardless of it’s relevancy to anything important, it’ll bug me to no end. Also if something is broken I’ll be able to grasp the cause and fix it somewhat easily.
So maybe not an NF after all. ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ
I do have pretty good confidence that my daughter is an INFP (or maybe an ISFP) however.
Another great video! I appreciate how you really help me understand the cognitive functions
Love the vid, so thorough . I learned a bit. Thank you. Id love to see a video going into Jungian ideas. Pwease.
Great info!
I want to point out that you talk very fast! It's hard to keep up! 😁🙏
ive taken the test multiple times and I've gotten both infj and infp
The J/P element of the MBTI is a construct of Meyers and Briggs and I believe, not of Jung. It is, however, a very real aspect of personality deserving of being included. What Jung referred to as J/P is actually a combination of E/I and Meyers and Briggs J/P. Jung's J/P is a profoundly important as this is what correlates with emotionality -- Exxj, Ixxp having high emotionality (Judgers) and Ixxj , ExxP low emotionality (Perceivers). This relates to how quickly the brains motivational systems "kick in". INFP's are "doers" - highly emotional "crusaders" while INFJs are "thinkers" - mellow middle of the road type people.
I thought I was infp as that was what the quiz revealed to me, however, I might actually be infj after learning this information.... Confusing
FOR THE ALGORITHM
:3
Does this work too then?
@@icecreaminwinter6034 I sure hope so! 😄
I wonder what's the difference between ideals and values. See, I identify with everything you said on the INFJ side except the part where you mention that an INFP won't do things beneficial for them if it infringes on their authenticity.
But as a probable INFJ I find it hard to believe that INFJs aren't the same, except that instead of it being authenticity perhaps the better word is ideals? I definitely much rather pass up on things "beneficial to me" than to do things completely against my ideals. It's so extreme that I would even take a bullet for others, so to even do things completely unbeneficial to me. If we take the example of the work environment I could care less if others are lying or backstabbing to get ahead, there's no way I could do the same and would actually put my standing at risk to defend those that deserve to be defended.
Nicely done. 🤘
Clearly you’ve put in your work I have no doubt your knowledge speaks for itself. Found your channel because I believe I am a I NFJ where did that’s correct or not is not my question. My question is my oversensitivity to food taste Specifically the dislike for eating plants. I am also dyslexic. I’ve been told I am a super taster something to do with wine tasting don’t know anything about that but our other INF jays sensitive and other areas physically just curious thank you for your time
Yes, you're sensory issues may be evidence of being AN INFJ.
I also watched a video a while back from someone who was teaching MBTI differences. He mentioned that one way to tell the difference between the two is that if they are both given assignments to do within a particular set of time, the INFJ would assess the time it would take to accomplish the task, and almost immediately get onto the task at hand, leaving the extra time at the end. Whereas the INFP would assess the time to accomplish the task and not necessarily get to the task. Perhaps work on something else and then later get onto the task and complete it on time. I’ve heard that this can cause conflict between the two if they’re working on a team , where deadlines are involved. Would you agree with the comparison here?
Not the videomaker
Honestly, both can Procastinate ... a lot. I do, and I think I definitely more to INFJ ( even if I'm a bit unhealthy ). I've always been a bit lazy and really hated deadlines ... recently I also do not focus a lot and change my mind focus many Times ( very Ne like ), but still trying to ensemble some major pictures. However, at my best, I loved to make so that I didn't have to worry about tasks, starting them earlier, and in my mind, I still plan on doing such things
Let's say that INFJs will feel more anxiety towards guidelines ... even if they won't fully respect them ( healthy ones do, and they're very workhaolic, expecially for intellectual stuff ), they will still have some sort of reverence to it. INFPs on the other hand, won't care much, even if they won't get distracted and complete the task on time
It's much more about the mindset than the actual action taking place from what I've observed
That makes sense because of INFP's Fi/Te first and last functions. I'm INTJ; same Ni/Se slots as INFJ. I would assess the time the assignment would take to complete against other items I have to do and would make a priority list (in my head). If I start something I do not want to be interrupted until I achieve specific set goal with it and it can be an issue to change my focus if other things need to be done (obsession with completing task). I would get to that assignment wherever it falls in terms of urgency. I can relate to INFP's Fi/Te with my secondary Te and tertiary Fi(with Te secondary and Fi tertiary).
@@maddiesiegmund5623 Yes, I agree. I believe I am an INFJ and I can see how I work everyday at my job and it is similar. I am a designer and the thing I get most unsure about is how long the process will end up taking. This makes providing quotes frustrating. I know the project will eventually get to where it needs to be but I don't know how many dead end paths I will experience before I get there. The most important thing is forward momentum and determination. Because I am considering all these possibilities of where the project could go I do tend to get to work right away. I would rather get the heavy lifting done early with time at the end.
I used to view myself as a procrastinator in High School or college, but as an adult I can see through repetition how I truly work and it is to get busy. I may not be working as effectively as possible but I know the general direction things need to go and push things in that direction until the vision is achieved.
I'll inquire these: which is worse at procrastination? Which wants to have back up plans to help avoid anxiety if things go wrong? Which 1 struggles to fit it/make friends more difficultly? Which 1 comes off more ambiverted tho introverted? And which 1 is more afraid to fail in school/work/life, like a form of a perfectionist?
As an infp i would say procrastination and struggling to fit in is classic infp. Or we may be pretty good at fitting in on a sort of surface level but it feels like acting, not authentic.
Back up plans: Yes, kind of. They´re not always very detailed, more like a rough sketch. But it feels good to have one.
Don´t know about the other two but from what i understand about the functions, i guess over all infjs tend to come off as a little more assertive and focused. Infps can be assertive at times but it´s not our default mode.
@@draug7966 TYVM!! ❤💜❤💜💙💚💙💜❤💜❤
Despite this is very elaborate to the core, I STILL feel like I'm both types. I struggle w Se, but I also like uniqueness. I prefer harmony but will also stand up anyways. So, still lost....!!
Am I NP or NJ? IM CONFUSION NOW!
great video
Nowim just confused. Im infp but found myself relating to infj abit more.
Just curious how you would distinguish between Se inferior (infj) vs. Se PoLR (infp); and Te inferior (infp) vs Te PoLR (infj). Are we more likely to be *conscious* of difficulties using the inferior and more likely to have a “love hate” relationship with the inferior......as opposed to the PoLR function (less resistance on a conscious level, because it’s a blindspot)?
Strongly recommend watching at .75 speed, if you want to keep up.👍
"Introverted feeling types are exceptionally authentic."
Hm... not really, depends on the maturity of the user.
Because some Te users I know (NFPs, STJs, & SFPs), care so much about what people think about them, whether people think highly of them or not (Te). To the point, they will do x,y,z (things that people deem as "cool" or things that can make people to think highly of the person who do it, but those Te users don't actually like it).
Example?
1. My ENFP friend told me she loves to read a book (mostly novels), sometimes we talk about books, but she never let others to know that, and has been pretending that she doesn't like reading, why? Because people think that reading a book is boring & only a boring & uncool person who would do that.
2. My INFP biological dad doesn't like x job, but he never changes his job because of the status, people always think highly of x job, they think x job is cool & the income is high.
My INFP dad never goes to church, but when his cousin talked to him about the church, he said he never skipped going to church (which is a lie) & talking about things that would makes his cousin to think that he is a good christian (managing his cousin's thought).
INFPs also can be depraved for some reasons. They are actually very insecure about their status/reputation/ whether people think highly of them or not, they can do immoral things for the sake of that (includes lying, I've had caught my dad doing it for saving face several times).
In terms of insecurities:
*Te users care about what people think about them (highly or not), their status & reputation.
*Fe users care whether people like them or not (want to be valued & liked).
**I actually have a lot of example since I love to observe people, but if I write down everything it would be a book.
Agreed with you on how Te could led Fi to be unauthentic. I mean, your description make sense with my understanding of the 16 MBTI archetype. How could I contact you to discuss more about this? I'm interested to learn from each other.
Thank you for your insights. I find myself always relating to INFJ, cognitively-speaking, though sometimes I can confuse my own self. Like in how he mentioned the Ne user will want to express itself outwardly, it can be through "abnormal" clothing, so then I go on these tangents of questioning myself.. for example, I'm a girl. I kind of love to dress tomboyish, but that's because I simply like how the fashion looks. It's nothing flashy per say, just very.. unusual, maybe? or perhaps unusually plain and masculine, for a girl, that is. I don't want to stand out or anything, in fact I'd often wished that it was normalized so I didn't feel like I was standing out simply because I have a non-feminine way of dressing. So I thought, is this really what he is describing? Essentially, I don't think so.. but it's enough to fuel my paranoia that I have been mistyped and I can't see it. I have been trying to refute me being INFJ quite a lot, and the line seems to mostly be more blurred with INFPs, though I very clearly don't seem to have Fi, Ne, Si, or inferior Te.
I think the summary of the end of the video, and now your comment as well, reassured me just a bit. I generally have an issue with trusting my own judgement I guess, it's something I can hopefully improve on.
Still think I'm an INFP, but a little INFJ-like. Also, I swear one of my friends is an INFJ but he insists that he's an ENTP. I need to go deeper.
Key2cognition is the answer.
shouldn't the infp have worse Se? or does the Ne-Si combination make up for it? i feel Te-Fe-Se disabled :S literally no hand-eye coordination. i trip over air quite often walking on the pavement ~INFP
Infps have Se PolR. Which means it literally doesn't exist for them. They are Se blind. While Fe is their nemesis function.

@@noraflood6482 the price you pay for day dreaming.
Listen, I just wanna know what makes everyone so sure this engine is gonna get us where we need to be. K?
dude. please help. i thought i figured this stuff out....but i really cant figure out which of these 2 types i am. when people describe common traits of these, i find myself resonating with both, basically 50/50.
I've tried taking the MBTI tests from various sites, and I've always received INFJ, and while its true that there are INFJ qualities that really do resonate, some are a bit of a stretch. I only recently started looking into INFP's out of boredom and frustration, and I found that the holes in my assessment of being an INFJ seem to be filled in by traits of the INFP. Im relying on descriptions rather than answering questions or looking at function stacks because I'm having a hard time not being biased. if you had any advice on how to remove my head from my ass and just decide already, it'd be greatly appreciated.
(still love the fro)
3:57 - 4:16 describes me to a tee. i cant help myself. my stupid morals often make me say things that dont benefit me at all, and are to my detriment. I've literally lost friends because of this. if my bullshit meter goes off, i cant not say something about it... this trait may well describe me better than any trait for INFJs, but the other common traits of an INFP dont sound like me at all. maybe im just broken....
can there be INFJ & INFP at the same time/ within one
Can Thinking judgers have artistic Holland code.What is the relationship between Holland code and MBTI.
Thumbnail reminds me of Genshin Impact
This is the first video about this topic that I have watched and not thought: "but all of those sound like me".
Generally, I knew I was an INFJ because I know many INFPs and they all have similar traits and aren't like me. Mainly, every single one of them is super flaky and has a low attention span
I would take maths problems as an example. Sure, they can tell me "this is how you do it" but I need to know why I am doing it. Or say, in chemistry, if I was just told to multiply by avogadros number without being told what avogadros number means and why we are doing that. I will get an impulse in my brain that I need to figure it out even though spending time on the theoretical details is probably going to be a hindrance regarding exam success. So, recently I have been scrapping my old way of studying and learning to solve problems through analysis and recognising trends rather than to understand theory
Excellent overview. Can you followup with comparative traits view?
Really good but you're welcome to slow down and breathe. You talk REALLY fast. But i guess i could also use the youtube speed adjustment.

What type are you
INTJ, try not to talk about myself too much haha

The moral of this story is: if you're often late, you're probably an INFP.
This is stereotype.I always look to be on time.Maybe has some connection that im more concerned with my Si than Ne idk.The ppl that are late most are IxTJ's.How is that explainable.
