The fact that those traits can accurately describe a particular personality is awesome. I appreciate the effort of those who had observed about personality. It’s a relief that i’m not weird for being different with most people around me, it’s just not so many of us out there 😅
The “past recall” thing is an INFJ thing. As an INFJ I feel it is what helps us “connect the dots” and we also cross analyze everything anyone says to us with past conversations... and this is all done without trying or thinking... it just happens naturally with us. Hopefully what I hoped to make sense made sense. Lol. I’m terrible at explaining things that come out of my thoughts. Hope everyone is doing super and staying safe! ❤️
i did understand everything. and u totality right ^.^ it feels like an instinct it pops up connects to everything else and becomes a new piece of the big picture :D
💯 It’s so strange to have lived on this earth for 35 years feeling as if no one understands me, then to find out people do! It’s just a very small fraction of people. So small, in fact, that I may never meet someone like me. 😂 😭 Thanks for keeping me entertained while I was cooking!
We’re not as rare as you might think. There are 3 of us in the small office of about 20 people and we all sit right next to one another. There’s no sign on our foreheads that say INFJ.
I’ll second the weird memory recall. I know things I don’t know how I know them as well as I have almost photographic recall of random slices of my life and by random I mean totally random.
We relate to everyone, but no one relates to us. I felt that in my soul. Thank you for this video, I related a lot, andI am going to share it with everyone I know so that they can hopefully understand me better 😂 Edit: 46 and 52 have me cry laughing 🤣
All is so true. 47 _ stubborn : can be transformed into a positive thing : we just never give up, determination. I likes the last : the most bizarre memory recall. I think it’s because we have Ni Dominant function (good, true, useful/essence) I think we remember well the things which are the inconsistencies, the negatives past events, the most useful/essentials things. That’s why I remember what’s happen 30 years ago at kindergarten, but don’t remember what I ate yesterday. We are slaves of our own dominant function. Our memories are for the most Ni memories I think.
I am a Clinical Psychologist with 30 years of experience dealing with people. I was branded a INFJ quite sometime ago. I never really accepted that evaluation because placing 'labels' on people puts them into a box. It limits their potentiality and personal growth. At worse, it can destroy a individual's self determination and freedom. However, the Myers Briggs Personally Test is interesting but somewhat incomplete. I have never encountered a 'classical' INFJ before. Why? Because certain characteristics of this personality type have many subgroups some of which overlap other MBTI personality types. That being said I will describe the characteristics of how a 'orthodox' INFJ thinks, behaves and responds in strict accordance with the MBTI Personalty Test. Be forewarned, I find some INFJ 'stereotypes' rather funny. And will approach such in a humorous fashion. INFJ's posess a wonderfully sense irony and will immediately recognize the silly 'stereotypes' others have attrubuted to them.....So let's start breaking some myths about INFJ Personalty Type When a INFJ gives you the dreaded 'Death Stair' they are not attempting to understand you. They are wondering if you're carrying a gun. Killing INFJ's is a pleasurable experience. Why? Because everyone hates a smart ass. INFJ's frequently experience 'Sensory Overload' issues. They love Forests, Parks and Woodland areas to recharge their batteries. Why? Because trees don't talk! A squirrel cannot complain it has 'Daddy Issues'. Pine trees do not suffer from 'gender identity' problems. And I have never seen a bunny rabbit strung out Crack Cocaine. Solitude is bliss. Never say to a INFJ, 'I do not understand', They will run away screaming or jump infront of a bus. No one understands them. INFJ's sometimes don't even understand themselves. INFJ's feel uncomfortable being around large groups of people. However, once you get them talking, they never shut up. Adolf Hitler, Martin Luther King and Gandhi were historical INJF's. You cannot win a argument with this Myers Briggs Personality type. They will always win... until they get shot. Why do a INFJ 'Door Slam' people? Because it's called a Coping Mechanism. They dislike being emotionally hurt. There is nothing strange about this behavior.. Some people become acholics others pill poppers. INFJ's will just run away and pretend you never existed. INFJ's have the psychic ability to absorb people's emotions. No. This is phenomen is called 'Transference'. If you continuously talk about your problems, a INFJ will unconsciously adopt some aspects of your emotional state. However, INFJ's posess strong identities which prevents them from going completely insane. INFJ's are the most honest, compassionate and sensative people on Earth. Not really. Mother Nature just screwed them up genetically. They're brains are hard wired to respond during crisis situations. A 'diehard' INFJ will instinctively sacrifice their life attempting to save yours. No questions asked. Why? I have no freaking idea. I didn't invent the rules. Ask God. I'm sure She knows. INFJ's think differently than others. Yes. They think outside the box. They live outside the box. They have never actually seen the box. What does it look like? Does it contain groceries? INFJ types are occasionally arrogant, cold towards others and aloof. This is actually true. Being omnipotent has its drawbacks. INFJ's have a difficult time sugar-coating the truth. Being overtly honest is their trademark. If they sense someone cannot handle the truth, they will lie to protect that person's emotions. INFJ's are stubborn yet will openly admit to errors in judgment or making mistakes. INFJ's think too deeply. They want to solve everyone's problems. They get frustrated when people ask for advice, then completely ignore their recommendations. They do not understand why everyone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Eventually, a INFJ will simply give up. The phrase 'People need to learn things the hard way' was invented by a INFJ. So was the 'unfriend' button on Facebook. INFJ's do not respect authority because they have developed their own Moral, Ethical, Spiritual and Cognative belief systems. Mature (older) INFJ's care very little about how people perceive them and less about the impressions they make upon others. INFJ's enjoy approval and acceptance (like everyone else) but infrequently compromise their princepals to simply fit in. Do not mistake a INFJ's confidence as egocentrismn. There is a difference. INFJ's are frequently interpreted as posessing a Narcissist Personalty Disorder. This stereotype is absolutely false. A Narcissist loves adoration and attention. The typical INFJ cares more about other people than themselves, sometime to their own detriment. For example, 5 military soilders are in a bomb shelter. A hand granade is thrown into the bomb shelter. One soldier immediately jumps atop the hand granade, attempting to save his comrades from the explosion. This is called self sacrifice. A Narcissist has 'Self Absorption' problems, not 'Self Sacrifice' problems. INFJ's dislike themselves. They feel alone within the world and misunderstood. Being a INFJ a curse. Consequently, a small minority INFJ's often experience psychological Depression, Alienation Issues and Avoident Behavior problems. The phrase 'You are your own worst enemy' accurately describes a INFJ's perception of themselves. The most admirable personality traits of the INFJ are (1) INFJ's care about you than themselves which makes them a easy targets for emotional exploitation and abuse. Never play 'Guilt Games' with a INFJ. They already persecute themselves (subconsciously) for being different. They don't have the ability to forgive themselves for past mistakes, A INFJ's unforgiving 'Guilt Complex' is an integral part of their personality. INFJ's have occasionally been known to slowly kill themselves over time, believing they deserve such suffering. 'Hell on Earth' is their punishment and they willing accept it....sometimes. Not always. (2) Once you secure the trust of a INFJ, everything about them suddenly becomes clear. The stereotypes vanish. These are people you want within your life. They have incredible insight into human nature and will identify your weaknesses and lift you up from darkness. Seeing the world through a INFJ eyes is the greatest gift they can offer. It would be impossible to understand a MBTI typology without stating the negative traits of a specific personality group. The 'Dark Side' of a INFJ is rather frightening. Never test their 'Authenticity' or personal dignity. Do not play games with a INFJ. They have limitations like everyone else. A INFJ can determine your intentions or plans within minutes. Literally. This Hyperobservient behavior is quite unique. Avoid getting into heated arguments with a INFJ unless you are prepared to be intellectually, emotionally or psychologically castrated. They have cognitive resources almost beyond understanding. A vindictive INFJ will never stop until they destroy your life (this has nothing to do with physical murder). Such behavior is almost Psychopathic in nature (hence the concern INFJ's may be catorgized as possessing a Psychological Disorder rather than a Personality Dysfunction). Fortunately, INFJ's are not prone to violent behavior. They give up easily, This is where the 'Door Slam' or simply walking away from an argument comes from. Once they reveal their true inner nature, you will begin to understand why only 2% of the world's population are INFJ's. They are so dam charming. INFJ's dislike small talk, idle conversations, superficial people and hypocrites. Life is too short talking to such individuals (but they understand its occasionally necessary to be socially accepted) INFJ's are not spontaneous. They just pretend to be spontaneous. Their minds are always attempting to 'connect the dots' even when there are no dots. Avoid getting into deep conversations with a INFJ. They are walking encyclopedias. They will jump from topic to topic then back again to support a idea or theory. Male INFJ's are 'scattered brained' in the worst way possible. But there is method to such madness. The are searching for the correct answer to a specific problem. And 95% of the time they will discover it... or have a complete nervous breakdown trying. Occasionally, you will notice a INFJ acting mysteriously, doing unusual things or just behaving weird. Get used to this behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. The INFJ is just going through a 'stage' or experimenting with something that interests them. Like building a Thermonuclear Bomb or discovering a cure for Herpes. Never tell a INFJ they have a 'Old Soul'. They are absolutely terrified of being reincarnated again. INFJ's are acutely aware that neither Heaven or Hell wants them. Why? Because God doesn't need the extra competition on who should run Heaven (Him or a INFJ) and Satan can't deal with a INFJ pestering him for all eternity....that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Aliens will never abduct a INFJ. There are some things too bizarre even for Extraterrestrials. Men of all ages, groups and backgrounds fall instantly in love with INFJ women. They give the appearance of a graceful dove. Pure and innocent. No. They are just horny. INFJ's have a difficult time forming a thought or idea into words. Yes. Someday a INFJ will develop telekinesis and scare the hell out of everyone. So next time you accidentally encounter a INFJ, break all COVID 'Social Distancing' issues and hug them. INFJ's are a endangered species. Literally. Whatever purpose they were created for has already been accomplished. This Myers Briggs Personality represents the noblest aspects of humanity....Intelligent, Wise, Caring, Virtuous, Altruistic and Protective. And they have a excellent sense of humor (wink).
um, no and most definitely NO to your very long winded cliche which by the way started by you saying don't go labelling and putting people into a box in the beginning. Kind of ironic that you can't even be bothered to take your advice, or even listen to yourself. Some counsellor you are.
Memory recall.... Do any of you feel like you meet the same people over and over? I'm 46, and for the last several years I'll meet someone or be in a situation where I think "Hang on. Been here before.". I call it as intuition kicking in. Anyone else?
I related to everything in this video but when you mentioned the memory recall I just had to laugh. I always thought I was mentally off or had ADD, but it may well be an INFJ thing. Ill literally place any object down and walk away for 2 seconds and wont be able to find it upon return but ill always know where my one expensive prized item is at all times (My Iphone)😂 I guess no matter how organized I try to be I can be scatter brained when my mind is thinking at high velocity . Also when people ask me about my past I can't seem to recall any of it and will result in the person asking me if I had a tramatic past and Ill be like ...no??? I just don't remember anything eventful? I guess I don't care to keep my past memories i like to look forward and improve as well as help others be the best version of themselves :)
I relate, I can't remember too, I especially can't recall my sister, she was there when we were children because I see her in pictures however I can't remember ever talking to her as a child? She remembers everything, she always asks if I remember this or that and I would say no, then she tries to remind me, which is a painful exercise so now I just say yes, "I remember", but as she talks about the memory she always realizes that I have no cooking clue what she is talking about. I thought I was mentally ill!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Exact for everything! *45 "I receive constructive criticism poorly" (BUT !, ... don't sow it) *40 "we make friends very easily but don't have friends" I FIND A WAY TO HAVE FEW FRIENDS : I tell them no mater if you call me back or see me in tow month, tow years, or ten years you still be my friend fore me. AND IT WORK! P.S.: you have the same sense of humour as me..
It's even hard to put into thoughts what we experience in our brains. I love to daydream. One of the INFJ things that I do is to rearrange other people's furniture in my house. Just nutty.
Spot on man!! Yes yes yes!!! You are a true INFJ yes sir! Dude it’s like I’m looking in a mirror. We’re the same person, almost. Except that I have a full head of hair and yeah. LOL
LOL, great video. I liked the way you presented the 50 things along with paradox for each if applicable. You helped me better understand why INFJs are lonely even in groups. Because INFJs are so rare and often paradoxical it's extremely difficult for us to fit in or be well understood. I am glad to see that I am not crazy. It's nice to know that there are others like me, even if only a few.
5:03 Omg, so true, lol. I've been trying to figure out for months now what sleep chrono-type I am (wolf, dolphin, bear, or lion). I still can't figure it out. x.x'
Ok, I have to hike on Sunday's to pull up what I did, who I met and how the whole thing went down the night before at the bar. I refer to the me that goes out as Drunk AJ. Sober AJ finds phone numbers in his phone that he doesn't know anything about, friend requests from people he doesn't know & people walking up and talking to him like they know him. (Sorry for the 3rd person) Drunk AJ can make friends, but he doesn't like to disclose any information without a MASSIVE amount of inner dialogue. It's almost like having multiple personalities, except it's more like I have memory vaults for work, the gym, home, the bar, hiking, etc. and I really struggle to jump from one to the other because they are so vast.
Dude I really felt the same throughout the whole video even the after takes. I go back and forth in my head like that all the time. It’s crazy I’m so glad there are others even if is a small percentage this video also helped me confirm that I am definitely and Infj.
That's soooo 😂😂😂 I feel like a weirdo, now. OMG! ... to be that way it's just crazy lol but there are still few people (2) who gets me.. kind of 😂😂😂 thanks for the video!🎉🎉🎉💓
As an infj I have to say yes to everything Listening to you make me realized what a walking paradox I am No wonder why we are misunderstood It s scary Ps there are infj-A and infj-T those 2 groups share some attitudes but also have some differences Infj-T turbulent which i belong are very good at keeping the past alive The infj-A assertive don t do but they do things that the Turbulent group don,t do...all that is according to the Myyers Briggs test What does not help us is we are perfectionists....it,s a nightmare
Tbh I like to share about myself, if I'm talkin to ppl I'll ask questions n then share somethin about myself like if I ask your fav color I'll say mine or if I ask about ya fav icecream flavor I'll say mine because nobody ever asks me questions like I do😭 like seriously what the actual Fuck?!
Funny that you mentioned recall memories sorry I forgot about what I was going to say. Anyway I think that you're worthy of your assignment, looking forward to seeing more of your views. I will leave you a comment from time to time. Best of humanity, to you.
this is the most relatable video I've ever seen! from the way you speak to everything you said, I'm not even surprised, even some things you mentioned I haven't had the chance to figure a name for them and I'm just satisfied with it all just one thing i don't know if it's just the way it's said or if i simply don't relate to: the infj being aware of him/herself!! the last one tho so true my sister keeps saying that to me, i sometimes try to remember one thing anyting as an example a capital i'd belike "yeah i know that it's somewhere because i know it for sure but i can't say" two seconds later i'd literally say the name out loud without being aware of that and turns out to be right i'm impressed by how I'm simply seeing myself in you, talking mostly about the mannerism, the eyes movements especially. thank you for this video, I'm actually thinking about sharing it to all my really closed ones !
hey cute boy INFJ.....I'm a girl INFJ and YOU made me laugh! Prepare for being in a relationship with me in my mind that u will never know about however I will imagine it so well I won't really need u to be present. Thank u....damaged INFJ girl. PS Eminem just got himself some competition! LOL
On the last point, I was comparing memories with my aunt (istj) and found my recollection was not accurate and was mostly better than what actually happened. Not a problem for the future-focused to remember the past fondly.
I love how the infj group uses words like 'us' and 'we'. Inclusion is such a subtitle way to show sum love. :) Advanced frontal lobes for the win. Why 'for the win'? For the win because love conquers all. Life is not a competition, however there are goals at certain parts of life to individually win
I'm smart, but I don't learn things quickly, it usually takes me a few tries before I get it down, even though, I always expect to do it perfectly the first time.
My mom, 2 days ago: how can you be so smart and yet so stupidly naive at once???? Me: that is exactly INFJ mom!!! And that is what i understood only now at age 44.
I don't know if it's related to my personality type or not. But I'm an infj and Rango is my favorite animation character. I can really understand him . It may seem awkward but just... Yeah😶
Thanks for making this. I find it difficult to *put myself out there for some things,(but thankfully making progress). And let me know if you wanna make that talk show lol! I'm soo down, and I think it could be hilarious...
Ugh relatable. I'm full of hatred right now, But while typing this I feel loving- But nah I'm disgusted now. Ugh I feel like I'm annoying. God help me. Wait I'm an atheist. Or am I a deist.. maybe not. Anyway it's all meaningless. Good video I guess. Wrote all my thoughts as an infj.
yes to all except to the different persona's. I'm me no matter what, who, where or when. Also not the calm, soothing, mythical unicorn with magical attraction powers they say is typical for us.

The fact that those traits can accurately describe a particular personality is awesome. I appreciate the effort of those who had observed about personality. It’s a relief that i’m not weird for being different with most people around me, it’s just not so many of us out there 😅
INTJ??
We should all make a union of infjs so we can have friends that understands us
when you said "we have really bad sleeping habits" I SCREAMED LIKE IS LEGIT 5AM RIGHT NOW 🤣🤣🤣
45: "we receive constructive criticism poorly"
Me: "that's not true"
Also me: "ohhhh"
That moment when you realize it 😂🙌
The “past recall” thing is an INFJ thing. As an INFJ I feel it is what helps us “connect the dots” and we also cross analyze everything anyone says to us with past conversations... and this is all done without trying or thinking... it just happens naturally with us. Hopefully what I hoped to make sense made sense. Lol. I’m terrible at explaining things that come out of my thoughts. Hope everyone is doing super and staying safe! ❤️
I understood you. You're awesome . Reread your post without reading the part about you being terrible at something. It flows better ;)
i just watched it again and yes sir, infjs are walking contradictions. lol
i did understand everything. and u totality right ^.^ it feels like an instinct it pops up connects to everything else and becomes a new piece of the big picture :D
We procrastinate hard
*Very hard*
That's why I failed my exams. Lol
all were just facts 😂
I procrastinate very hard but people think i don't 😅
P.s: 💜
Same 😂
Same
💯 It’s so strange to have lived on this earth for 35 years feeling as if no one understands me, then to find out people do! It’s just a very small fraction of people. So small, in fact, that I may never meet someone like me. 😂 😭
Thanks for keeping me entertained while I was cooking!
We’re not as rare as you might think. There are 3 of us in the small office of about 20 people and we all sit right next to one another. There’s no sign on our foreheads that say INFJ.
I’ll second the weird memory recall. I know things I don’t know how I know them as well as I have almost photographic recall of random slices of my life and by random I mean totally random.
We relate to everyone, but no one relates to us.
I felt that in my soul.
Thank you for this video, I related a lot, andI am going to share it with everyone I know so that they can hopefully understand me better 😂
Edit:
46 and 52 have me cry laughing 🤣
Be of good cheer. God relates to you :)
Can relate 100% :)
This is so TRUEEEEEEEE It feels so awesome to know im not weird! There are other ppl like me.
All is so true.
47 _ stubborn : can be transformed into a positive thing : we just never give up, determination.
I likes the last : the most bizarre memory recall.
I think it’s because we have Ni Dominant function (good, true, useful/essence)
I think we remember well the things which are the inconsistencies, the negatives past events, the most useful/essentials things.
That’s why I remember what’s happen 30 years ago at kindergarten, but don’t remember what I ate yesterday. We are slaves of our own dominant function. Our memories are for the most Ni memories I think.
I am a Clinical Psychologist with 30 years of experience dealing with people. I was branded a INFJ quite sometime ago. I never really accepted that evaluation because placing 'labels' on people puts them into a box. It limits their potentiality and personal growth. At worse, it can destroy a individual's self determination and freedom. However, the Myers Briggs Personally Test is interesting but somewhat incomplete. I have never encountered a 'classical' INFJ before. Why? Because certain characteristics of this personality type have many subgroups some of which overlap other MBTI personality types. That being said I will describe the characteristics of how a 'orthodox' INFJ thinks, behaves and responds in strict accordance with the MBTI Personalty Test. Be forewarned, I find some INFJ 'stereotypes' rather funny. And will approach such in a humorous fashion. INFJ's posess a wonderfully sense irony and will immediately recognize the silly 'stereotypes' others have attrubuted to them.....So let's start breaking some myths about INFJ Personalty Type
When a INFJ gives you the dreaded 'Death Stair' they are not attempting to understand you. They are wondering if you're carrying a gun. Killing INFJ's is a pleasurable experience. Why? Because everyone hates a smart ass.
INFJ's frequently experience 'Sensory Overload' issues. They love Forests, Parks and Woodland areas to recharge their batteries. Why? Because trees don't talk! A squirrel cannot complain it has 'Daddy Issues'. Pine trees do not suffer from 'gender identity' problems. And I have never seen a bunny rabbit strung out Crack Cocaine. Solitude is bliss.
Never say to a INFJ, 'I do not understand', They will run away screaming or jump infront of a bus. No one understands them. INFJ's sometimes don't even understand themselves.
INFJ's feel uncomfortable being around large groups of people. However, once you get them talking, they never shut up. Adolf Hitler, Martin Luther King and Gandhi were historical INJF's. You cannot win a argument with this Myers Briggs Personality type. They will always win... until they get shot.
Why do a INFJ 'Door Slam' people? Because it's called a Coping Mechanism. They dislike being emotionally hurt. There is nothing strange about this behavior.. Some people become acholics others pill poppers. INFJ's will just run away and pretend you never existed.
INFJ's have the psychic ability to absorb people's emotions. No. This is phenomen is called 'Transference'. If you continuously talk about your problems, a INFJ will unconsciously adopt some aspects of your emotional state. However, INFJ's posess strong identities which prevents them from going completely insane.
INFJ's are the most honest, compassionate and sensative people on Earth. Not really. Mother Nature just screwed them up genetically. They're brains are hard wired to respond during crisis situations. A 'diehard' INFJ will instinctively sacrifice their life attempting to save yours. No questions asked. Why? I have no freaking idea. I didn't invent the rules. Ask God. I'm sure She knows.
INFJ's think differently than others. Yes. They think outside the box. They live outside the box. They have never actually seen the box. What does it look like? Does it contain groceries?
INFJ types are occasionally arrogant, cold towards others and aloof. This is actually true. Being omnipotent has its drawbacks. INFJ's have a difficult time sugar-coating the truth. Being overtly honest is their trademark. If they sense someone cannot handle the truth, they will lie to protect that person's emotions.
INFJ's are stubborn yet will openly admit to errors in judgment or making mistakes.
INFJ's think too deeply. They want to solve everyone's problems. They get frustrated when people ask for advice, then completely ignore their recommendations. They do not understand why everyone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Eventually, a INFJ will simply give up. The phrase 'People need to learn things the hard way' was invented by a INFJ. So was the 'unfriend' button on Facebook.
INFJ's do not respect authority because they have developed their own Moral, Ethical, Spiritual and Cognative belief systems. Mature (older) INFJ's care very little about how people perceive them and less about the impressions they make upon others. INFJ's enjoy approval and acceptance (like everyone else) but infrequently compromise their princepals to simply fit in.
Do not mistake a INFJ's confidence as egocentrismn. There is a difference.
INFJ's are frequently interpreted as posessing a Narcissist Personalty Disorder. This stereotype is absolutely false. A Narcissist loves adoration and attention. The typical INFJ cares more about other people than themselves, sometime to their own detriment. For example, 5 military soilders are in a bomb shelter. A hand granade is thrown into the bomb shelter. One soldier immediately jumps atop the hand granade, attempting to save his comrades from the explosion. This is called self sacrifice. A Narcissist has 'Self Absorption' problems, not 'Self Sacrifice' problems.
INFJ's dislike themselves. They feel alone within the world and misunderstood. Being a INFJ a curse. Consequently, a small minority INFJ's often experience psychological Depression, Alienation Issues and Avoident Behavior problems. The phrase 'You are your own worst enemy' accurately describes a INFJ's perception of themselves.
The most admirable personality traits of the INFJ are (1) INFJ's care about you than themselves which makes them a easy targets for emotional exploitation and abuse. Never play 'Guilt Games' with a INFJ. They already persecute themselves (subconsciously) for being different. They don't have the ability to forgive themselves for past mistakes, A INFJ's unforgiving 'Guilt Complex' is an integral part of their personality. INFJ's have occasionally been known to slowly kill themselves over time, believing they deserve such suffering. 'Hell on Earth' is their punishment and they willing accept it....sometimes. Not always. (2) Once you secure the trust of a INFJ, everything about them suddenly becomes clear. The stereotypes vanish. These are people you want within your life. They have incredible insight into human nature and will identify your weaknesses and lift you up from darkness. Seeing the world through a INFJ eyes is the greatest gift they can offer.
It would be impossible to understand a MBTI typology without stating the negative traits of a specific personality group.
The 'Dark Side' of a INFJ is rather frightening. Never test their 'Authenticity' or personal dignity. Do not play games with a INFJ. They have limitations like everyone else. A INFJ can determine your intentions or plans within minutes. Literally. This Hyperobservient behavior is quite unique. Avoid getting into heated arguments with a INFJ unless you are prepared to be intellectually, emotionally or psychologically castrated. They have cognitive resources almost beyond understanding. A vindictive INFJ will never stop until they destroy your life (this has nothing to do with physical murder). Such behavior is almost Psychopathic in nature (hence the concern INFJ's may be catorgized as possessing a Psychological Disorder rather than a Personality Dysfunction). Fortunately, INFJ's are not prone to violent behavior. They give up easily, This is where the 'Door Slam' or simply walking away from an argument comes from. Once they reveal their true inner nature, you will begin to understand why only 2% of the world's population are INFJ's. They are so dam charming.
INFJ's dislike small talk, idle conversations, superficial people and hypocrites. Life is too short talking to such individuals (but they understand its occasionally necessary to be socially accepted)
INFJ's are not spontaneous. They just pretend to be spontaneous. Their minds are always attempting to 'connect the dots' even when there are no dots.
Avoid getting into deep conversations with a INFJ. They are walking encyclopedias. They will jump from topic to topic then back again to support a idea or theory. Male INFJ's are 'scattered brained' in the worst way possible. But there is method to such madness. The are searching for the correct answer to a specific problem. And 95% of the time they will discover it... or have a complete nervous breakdown trying.
Occasionally, you will notice a INFJ acting mysteriously, doing unusual things or just behaving weird. Get used to this behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. The INFJ is just going through a 'stage' or experimenting with something that interests them. Like building a Thermonuclear Bomb or discovering a cure for Herpes.
Never tell a INFJ they have a 'Old Soul'. They are absolutely terrified of being reincarnated again. INFJ's are acutely aware that neither Heaven or Hell wants them. Why? Because God doesn't need the extra competition on who should run Heaven (Him or a INFJ) and Satan can't deal with a INFJ pestering him for all eternity....that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
Aliens will never abduct a INFJ. There are some things too bizarre even for Extraterrestrials.
Men of all ages, groups and backgrounds fall instantly in love with INFJ women. They give the appearance of a graceful dove. Pure and innocent. No. They are just horny.
INFJ's have a difficult time forming a thought or idea into words. Yes. Someday a INFJ will develop telekinesis and scare the hell out of everyone.
So next time you accidentally encounter a INFJ, break all COVID 'Social Distancing' issues and hug them. INFJ's are a endangered species. Literally. Whatever purpose they were created for has already been accomplished. This Myers Briggs Personality represents the noblest aspects of humanity....Intelligent, Wise, Caring, Virtuous, Altruistic and Protective. And they have a excellent sense of humor (wink).
ROTFL ALL SO VERY TRUE! Love it!
Well said.. All very me😂
Yes and no but made me laugh 😂😂😂 I don’t know if as an INFJ I should say thank you or what.. anyways bless you 😂😂😂
um, no and most definitely NO to your very long winded cliche which by the way started by you saying don't go labelling and putting people into a box in the beginning. Kind of ironic that you can't even be bothered to take your advice, or even listen to yourself. Some counsellor you are.
and that's the beauty of it, INFJ's give excellent advice most of the time but rarely they follow it themselves xD@@skratchy1238
Memory recalls😳,yeah those flashbacks actually happen...I thought I was the only one
Memory recall....
Do any of you feel like you meet the same people over and over?
I'm 46, and for the last several years I'll meet someone or be in a situation where I think "Hang on. Been here before.".
I call it as intuition kicking in.
Anyone else?
Exactly, if thats people you never known then its the cognitive function of introverted intuition!
I related to everything in this video but when you mentioned the memory recall I just had to laugh. I always thought I was mentally off or had ADD, but it may well be an INFJ thing. Ill literally place any object down and walk away for 2 seconds and wont be able to find it upon return but ill always know where my one expensive prized item is at all times (My Iphone)😂 I guess no matter how organized I try to be I can be scatter brained when my mind is thinking at high velocity . Also when people ask me about my past I can't seem to recall any of it and will result in the person asking me if I had a tramatic past and Ill be like ...no??? I just don't remember anything eventful? I guess I don't care to keep my past memories i like to look forward and improve as well as help others be the best version of themselves :)
I relate, I can't remember too, I especially can't recall my sister, she was there when we were children because I see her in pictures however I can't remember ever talking to her as a child?
She remembers everything, she always asks if I remember this or that and I would say no, then she tries to remind me, which is a painful exercise so now I just say yes, "I remember", but as she talks about the memory she always realizes that I have no cooking clue what she is talking about. I thought I was mentally ill!!! 🤣🤣🤣
We are walking paradoxes
Exact for everything!
*45 "I receive constructive criticism poorly" (BUT !, ... don't sow it)
*40 "we make friends very easily but don't have friends" I FIND A WAY TO HAVE FEW FRIENDS : I tell them no mater if you call me back or see me in tow month, tow years, or ten years you still be my friend fore me. AND IT WORK!
P.S.: you have the same sense of humour as me..
We love lists.
We love lists in order from most to least important.
We love lists with a minimum of three items.
40. We have a master plan for everything (whooaa) 47. Being stubborn . . . . My faves
It's even hard to put into thoughts what we experience in our brains. I love to daydream. One of the INFJ things that I do is to rearrange other people's furniture in my house. Just nutty.
Smiled throughout the whole video. Can relate to every.single.one.🙂
"We procrastinate hard"
*nods in agreement whilst procrastinating*
Lmao the last one got me my brain kinda just spits out memories when it feels like it with random grand ideas with them
I love this - it’s all true and shows just how fantastic and ridiculous we are! 💚💜
Every point is on point.. except for procrastinating and bad sleeping habits (for me)
Spot on man!! Yes yes yes!!! You are a true INFJ yes sir! Dude it’s like I’m looking in a mirror. We’re the same person, almost. Except that I have a full head of hair and yeah. LOL
Exactly how i felt... like looking in a mirror..except im of a different race.😅
U forgot to mention how we can see at least 3 sides to a 2- sided coin.
Every word Jason. i agreed to everything 100%!!
We appreciate beauty and can be hopeless romantics!
When I have a trip coming up, I plan and pack at LEAST 3 three days ahead. Then I work out the route and check the weather.
LOL, great video. I liked the way you presented the 50 things along with paradox for each if applicable.
You helped me better understand why INFJs are lonely even in groups. Because INFJs are so rare and often paradoxical it's extremely difficult for us to fit in or be well understood. I am glad to see that I am not crazy. It's nice to know that there are others like me, even if only a few.
Can't wait to show this to my wife... you hit the hail on the head!
54: We"re spiritual rebels but fear being evil.
5:03 Omg, so true, lol. I've been trying to figure out for months now what sleep chrono-type I am (wolf, dolphin, bear, or lion). I still can't figure it out. x.x'
Best INFJ summary EVER, YESSSSS 😂❤👌👏👏👏!
This is PERFECT! One more to add is our dry sarcastic humor😂. I’m also a Taurus so talk about stubborn! Ha! New subbie 😊
Ok, I have to hike on Sunday's to pull up what I did, who I met and how the whole thing went down the night before at the bar. I refer to the me that goes out as Drunk AJ. Sober AJ finds phone numbers in his phone that he doesn't know anything about, friend requests from people he doesn't know & people walking up and talking to him like they know him. (Sorry for the 3rd person) Drunk AJ can make friends, but he doesn't like to disclose any information without a MASSIVE amount of inner dialogue. It's almost like having multiple personalities, except it's more like I have memory vaults for work, the gym, home, the bar, hiking, etc. and I really struggle to jump from one to the other because they are so vast.
Dude I really felt the same throughout the whole video even the after takes. I go back and forth in my head like that all the time. It’s crazy I’m so glad there are others even if is a small percentage this video also helped me confirm that I am definitely and Infj.
My imagination is off the charts😀
I'm an infj and can relate to all 50.. Except being stubborn
😂😂😂 I caught that.
That's soooo 😂😂😂 I feel like a weirdo, now. OMG! ... to be that way it's just crazy lol but there are still few people (2) who gets me.. kind of 😂😂😂 thanks for the video!🎉🎉🎉💓
As an infj I have to say yes to everything
Listening to you make me realized what a walking paradox I am
No wonder why we are misunderstood
It s scary
Ps there are infj-A and infj-T those 2 groups share some attitudes but also have some differences
Infj-T turbulent which i belong are very good at keeping the past alive The infj-A assertive don t do but they do things that the Turbulent group don,t do...all that is according to the Myyers Briggs test
What does not help us is we are perfectionists....it,s a nightmare
Right on the money pretty much
I can relate 99.99%
It’s crazy
Tbh I like to share about myself, if I'm talkin to ppl I'll ask questions n then share somethin about myself like if I ask your fav color I'll say mine or if I ask about ya fav icecream flavor I'll say mine because nobody ever asks me questions like I do😭 like seriously what the actual Fuck?!
We make a great friend yet we have no friends.
We procrastinate hard
Honestly pretty spot on for me :) glad I’m not alone. Sometimes it gets a little lonely inside my head.
We act b4 we think
We are not materialistic
Good at reading people
Absorn energy
🤣😁❤perfectly right💪🏼
This is so true:) I couldn't stop smiling after a minute of the video:) We are paradoxically funny:)
You're so infj man. and so am I D:
Very very good video, thank you
Um, yes. Hard knock life. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Funny that you mentioned recall memories sorry I forgot about what I was going to say. Anyway I think that you're worthy of your assignment, looking forward to seeing more of your views. I will leave you a comment from time to time. Best of humanity, to you.
On track and I will say great job.
this is the most relatable video I've ever seen!
from the way you speak to everything you said, I'm not even surprised, even some things you mentioned I haven't had the chance to figure a name for them and I'm just satisfied with it all
just one thing i don't know if it's just the way it's said or if i simply don't relate to: the infj being aware of him/herself!!
the last one tho so true my sister keeps saying that to me, i sometimes try to remember one thing anyting as an example a capital i'd belike "yeah i know that it's somewhere because i know it for sure but i can't say" two seconds later i'd literally say the name out loud without being aware of that and turns out to be right
i'm impressed by how I'm simply seeing myself in you, talking mostly about the mannerism, the eyes movements especially.
thank you for this video, I'm actually thinking about sharing it to all my really closed ones !
hey cute boy INFJ.....I'm a girl INFJ and YOU made me laugh! Prepare for being in a relationship with me in my mind that u will never know about however I will imagine it so well I won't really need u to be present. Thank u....damaged INFJ girl. PS Eminem just got himself some competition! LOL
this video is calling me out omg the accuracy is INSANE
On the last point, I was comparing memories with my aunt (istj) and found my recollection was not accurate and was mostly better than what actually happened. Not a problem for the future-focused to remember the past fondly.
Yep...that's us alright!
I love how the infj group uses words like 'us' and 'we'. Inclusion is such a subtitle way to show sum love. :) Advanced frontal lobes for the win. Why 'for the win'? For the win because love conquers all.
Life is not a competition, however there are goals at certain parts of life to individually win
Bro it's so true! I'm like hagret from harry potter but when I'm pissed I turn into voldemort
🤣🤣🤣 oh my, yes it's sad all these and I'm happy to be this understood.
Sleep patterns? I love being awake while the world is asleep.
. . . Yes, both ways : )
I, approve this video. 🙏
I love it.... 100% accurate
Describes me all so well.
Wow I had everyone of them😀!!!
I'm smart, but I don't learn things quickly, it usually takes me a few tries before I get it down, even though, I always expect to do it perfectly the first time.
I'm glad you came up with #51..100% accurate
Me relating to the whole video 😳🙊 and when memory recall came i was literally 💀
Most of these are very accurate.
My mom, 2 days ago: how can you be so smart and yet so stupidly naive at once???? Me: that is exactly INFJ mom!!! And that is what i understood only now at age 44.
Your glances. Love it:)
100% to all of these
This all makes perfect sense😂
I can see myself in you , it's weird and funny but true.
Hilarious yet accurate 😂
We are absolutely odd. I still confound my best friend, after 50 years… if that isn’t odd, what is…
spot on
I don't know if it's related to my personality type or not. But I'm an infj and Rango is my favorite animation character. I can really understand him . It may seem awkward but just... Yeah😶
Perfectly accurate
True that.
Brilliant!! Thank you:)
man.. right on point.
...rare indeed...
and COMPLICATED...
you didnt have to hit me so hard....... but yea i kind of thought i was one to
Brilliant! Me in a nutshell! 🤪
The door slam is sooo me lol😂
And I'm verrry sorry about that😔
Thanks for making this. I find it difficult to *put myself out there for some things,(but thankfully making progress). And let me know if you wanna make that talk show lol! I'm soo down, and I think it could be hilarious...
Very good list! I always like to sub to all the INFJs, since there are not many of us!👈🏼
💯% accurate.
Me on playstation network: I made 17 new friends today😃
Also me on playstation network: I deleted 98% of my friends and I'm so happy😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% Yes yes yes that me me.
Holy crap that's me in a nutshell
Gosh i can so relate to this😂😂😂. Nice , thank you😊
Heyyyyyy I'm an infj-t too😃😃😃😃 and a scorpio moon🥴🥴🥴🥴
Ugh relatable.
I'm full of hatred right now,
But while typing this I feel loving-
But nah I'm disgusted now.
Ugh I feel like I'm annoying.
God help me. Wait I'm an atheist.
Or am I a deist.. maybe not.
Anyway it's all meaningless.
Good video I guess.
Wrote all my thoughts as an infj.
Every single one is true!!!
yes to all except to the different persona's. I'm me no matter what, who, where or when.
Also not the calm, soothing, mythical unicorn with magical attraction powers they say is typical for us.
Upgrade your setup. You're gonna rock TH-cam.
i like that he rocks
