Your question is "unique intelligence" - which doesn't necessarily mean it's an overall good thing when applied to reality, but I would consider this part of the INFJ intellect (or it's just my 'terrible' social skills): We don't do well with eggshells. For me, I strive for truth in all things, so when I come across someone who has eggshells (emotionally volatile/overly sensitive), I can see it, but I only cater to it to a degree. When people are unable to separate perception from truth, especially when it's pointed out (no matter how lovingly), and are unwilling to grow - it's difficult for me to want to have anything more to do with them. So the unique intelligence within that is INFJs basically walk around with a zone of truth that they are also willing to adhere to. They can see emotional immaturity like a glowing beacon - even within themselves (of course, this may come with older INFJs - I'm in my 30's and can't claim this level of awareness until my mid 20's). I hate thinking I speak for all INFJ's, but this is definitely me. I'm terrible with eggshells because I refuse to cater to those who refuse to see the truth of the matter (of course, funny enough, from my perspective...which I do my best to balance my thoughts and theirs from all angles knowing the truth lies somewhere in-between). This is kind of the darkside of your #1 and #2 points that can cause relationship strife.
Well I don’t know about everyone else , but I pride myself on not having accepted a wooden nickel from anyone (without exception) for quite some time now.😉😑👌✊🏼🖖🏼☝️
@@ashleybennetts3108 I was working a brick repair and tuckpointing job and I hired a 20 something kid to help me. About the second day he began expressing his perspective on life and his conclusion was that nothing is real. I looked at him for 5 seconds to note that he was serious, and softly said to him, "Alright. If nothing is real I invite you to step off this scaffold," and I pointed to the ground 30 feet below us. He looked hard at the ground, pondering with a furrowed brow, and distress began to grow in his face. He glanced at me and stopped talking. I felt a little sad for the distress I caused him, but not for destroying his worldview.
Since learning I am an INFJ, many things about my life and relationships with others have become clearer. The empathy can sometimes be exhausting, worrying about loved ones, feeling what even strangers feel, etc. But it's the same empathy that made me a first-rate actress, able to enter into a special relationship with an audience. Other people, ideas, truth matter a good deal to me. I feel misunderstood and on the outside a good deal, but enjoy my alone time greatly. It can be overwhelming at times, still I'm grateful to be INFJ! Here's to all of us, blessings!
Empathy led me to become a strong actor as well. When I finally felt ready to put myself out there in a school play, I was amazed at the power that this art form allowed me to present to an audience. I had thought that I might like it, but I wasn't prepared for the power that came forward when I first went into an audition. Truth and life and love of humanity seemed to come boiling out of me in a way that I had never experienced before. Many of the others who were reading chose me to read with them when they took their turn. It was an experience like I'd never had before. Most just recited the words, but I lived them and thrust them at the audience with my heart and soul. I was well into high school when I first saw clearly what I had within me. I found this same passion available when I became a parent. I wanted to pour this strength and love into my family when my children were young. They needed me, and I wanted to give them everything. Also, professionally as a behavioral health counselor, I felt this same passion come boiling from me to bring my inner love and my gifts to the people who came to see me. I was able to grasp their pain and suffering and bring them to a place of healing. I only now have come to understand how my qualities as an INFJ were nurtured into some mighty gifts that gave me great joy and satisfaction. Your post about acting gave me a deeper understanding of my own personal journey. So, I thank you for sharing in a way that was helpful to me.
Seeing the patterns behind events is a key function for me. It can take several events if I'm not paying attention or intentionally ignoring things or it can take only a few for the pattern to become apparent immediately when I'm fully aware and watching. The rest apply too. Well done as always!
Yes. Its like a 100 piece life puzzle. Fit three pieces together and the rest just falls in place. When your paying attention. Happens when your not but takes 6 pieces. Lol
I feel like no.8 & 10 highlights this but from the effect point of view rather than the cause as your comment highlights. This is my experience anyway. The pattern forming ultimately leads me to see the whole picture, and in turn how things are all interconnected. Your point is the foundation of everything that makes up our intelligence. In my opinion anyway.
Actually the specific term for the phenomenon you are describing (and by the way which a concur with IS in thee “remarkable category” as it were, could be euphemistically referred to as “super sanity” £ which..... in a playing field of predominantly accepted and/ or “tolerated” mediocrity and sub par standards and practices , might possibly be catagorized as “insane” (it isn’t though) growth is VERY SANE. 👌
Thank you for your videos on the INFJ personality type, I am 65 yrs old and at last understand myself and my world a whole lot better! I wish I had known this 40 yrs ago!!
The overwhelm experienced when others energy merges into you can be very unsettling. It’s hard to find the right strategy to handle this because You may have learned to control your environment to give you the illusion of internal control. The danger with being good at this is its an ego strategy and is not authentic. For internal self mastery we have to learn how to stop this self delusion and connect our internal state with the higher consciousness that exists in us and manage our internal state whilst respecting others. However, some people can make a concerted effort to push through your boundaries in which case a whole new level of learning needs to be understood around this.
INFJs are often viewed as highly intelligent people, but understand their type of intelligence is important. Some people might not see this side of them, especially if they value a different style of thought. It is important to remember that certain types aren’t smarter than others, and that understanding the specific person is an important part of understanding their unique intelligence and way of thinking.
As a mature INFJ I can strongly relate to these signs. Although my memory isn't as eidetic as it was during my youth, I still recall things using my inner filing system. I only realised that this was uncommon during my college days and nobody else attached an emotion to memories like I always have. Choosing not to use my A-Levels to go on to University was tough on my parents at the time, as they saw it as 'wasting my intelligence'. How ironic! After learning construction, farming and a spell as a fireman, living a self-sufficient life for the last 25 years, producing all our food, building energy generation equipment and a wind powered water pump etc has been a true test of intelligence. We survive by using my mind and our bodies in harmony with all that is around us. I enjoy teaching others how to live like this too, and hold a special place in my family as the one who remembers all the little details from our childhoods. Still, on recalling an event from over 50 years ago I know how I felt or anyone else involved at the time. It's been a journey but what I once thought may be a curse has become my greatest gift.
My mother told me I was a highly sensitive person when at a very young age. But since I found out about MBTI & being an INFJ everything just makes so much more sense and I feel much less awkward and out of place. Although I still do feel out of place because that's just who I am I guess. But I have to admit that learning this has helped me deal with my awkwardness.
It hurts when you're going through downfalls but during that time, I cry and am grateful because I know there is a huge reason for it and that I am not aware of it at that time. I know that in the future I will look back at that terrible time and all will be clear that I had to go through that in order to get to another level in life. I don't ask "why me?". I just pray that I will actually learn the lesson and that I learn to appreciate it for what it is. "A refinement in life" to get better experience and share my lessons with others
INFJ feels more comfortable than most in ambivalence making it appear that we are indecisive, when all adds up we make a decision with a lot of conviction.
I'm gonna save this video on my list. So i can remind my self day by day. It's hard to talk about this to person who aren't INFJ. or even someone who doesn't care much about this MBTI things. But mostly we feel lonely because to understanding something yet someone never even have the same perspective just after i explain my opinion/explanation.
#1 - I may sound crazy but it is unique when receiving information or clues from the cosmos. #2 - We don't always get clues from the cosmos. #3 - Sometimes we get clues to connections that are not normally known until we research that connection. Even we get "Holy Cow" moments. #6 - Over time we can teach ourselves to syphon out the individual emotions we get bombarded with and certain emotions can get our attention. We also experience something so totally outragious that if we even mention it in passing that we would be seen as 'wacko' and sent to a psych ward (but that's more the HSP type of INFJ), spirituality, for us, takes on a different meaning.
Excellent and Spot on! I too am an INFJ and it's been an extreme ride. It's all good. Our lives are very raw and deep for most of us. When I was young I was actually punished for having an high emotional intelligence, told there was something wrong with me. The whole nine yards..put on medication etc...So much has changed for the better might I add. What a ride! However point being Thanks! This was insightful and empowering. We also as INFJ's get along with other MBTI's very well. Deep down we love life and all it's possibilities. Open minds & Open hearts.
@@joyreinhardt7621 It stands for : Myers-Briggs Type Indicator . The MBTI test was designed to help people understand their own communication styles and how they connect with others. Knowing your MBTI type can help you better understand your mental processes and behavior, as well as adjust your interpersonal approach to various situations and people. Hope this helps. 🙂
Ironically, these are things that others have told me to do, not aware that it comes naturally, and that I do these things subconsciously most of the time. All whilst ignoring the fact that they haven't/don't do these things without immense difficulty. I have come to realise that it's simply projection on their part, after explaining over and over that I have, and then going into the details of my conclusions, so they can understand too. Perhaps it's the fact I can sometimes attract broken people, like cluster B's, that are not very self aware.
Wow I can truly relate to all these examples. I've often pondered on the idea of intelligence and how emotions play a part. I like how this brings some new perspective to mind on that very idea.
This video was very accurate. The decisiveness part was so true for me. I can need to make a decision that may take me months and on occasion years to conclude which course I should take. When my intuitive nature is aligned with the decision I know I won't fail. Intuition was a trait I had to grow to accept. In my youth I'd reject it and things never went well for me. Once I accepted it life became so much easier to handle and plan the things within my ability to plan. Thanks I appreciate the insight.
As an INFJ I find my self in a constant thinking all day long, can't be stopped always worrying about stuff doesn't seem big deal for my friends and family. Also I can't feel satisfied with my self no mater what I have accomplished.
Oh yes, INFJ are like this. However, I would say that most of these caracteristics only became true after many life experiences. I wasn't quite like this in my tweenies but that is how I would describe myself since I hit my fourties.
Exactly! We still need to go through life’s ups and downs to find “enlightenment” or let’s say a better understanding of ourselves and our personality type. I’m turning 43 soon and I can attest that since I’ve turned 40, I’m looking at life from a renewed perspective. Not to sound elitist at all but it’s kinda like Neo in the matrix. I see more of the code or patterns to things and can detect red flags and other such things more efficiently and effectively. Or, I hope that’s the case. Lol
This is such a beautiful video. Thank you. It's accurately insightful of how our intelligence works, and the true value it has to offer. I feel seen in a way I didn't think was possible. Thank you for such a positive but honest video. It just made my day😊.
We gather all the small details in what we experience and use it for our own sake to improve our skills, ideas, solutions or help others with. I found a great (very small) detail in one of your videos that I use when I write with a pen. My middle fingernail is now improving my handwriting. Thank you! Great video!
We are highly aware of the ambiguous nature of language, its constraints and potential trappings. We also see language as if a craft and use it creatively when expressing ourselves. When helping others, we are particularly mindful of our writing and take time to ensure we are concise, without diminishing our authenticity and compassion. We much prefer sharing space with another, where communication involves all of our senses and where we are most effective. Much love to all
It’s an awesome thing I came by this field of research. I was looking at different career options and a video about becoming an elevator installation tech and the Myers-Briggs analysis and how the job lined up with with the personality traits. It seemed interesting so I started to look into it and read about the different categories and a few were close or had overlapping characteristics that seemed to line up with me but when I got to infj it a light went off in my head. I decided to take a simple free test I really tried to be as honest as I could and didn’t expect any certain category but it came out infj. I still didn’t have a great grasp of what exactly the analysis was for and I was just curious if it could lead me to a more fulfilling/better career path. I wanted to know more after reading the different traits and kind of wondering if this was like people who believe in birth signs. I hoped on TH-cam trying to see what else I could learn about it and happened to see a video on infj types and it started a rabbit hole. I always thought it was weird how I look people up and down often times I catch myself mid way and feel like I was odd or not right and noticing most people don’t really do that. Anyways these videos are helping me feel more comfortable and I really appreciate everything I’ve learned from these voices that have spent the time and energy to put this out for people.
4:45 everybody wants to always relate creativity with the Arts and I wish they would expand their understanding of creativity because creativity for me is quite different from most but it's still creativity it's just practical creativity or creativity with an emphasis on utility because I love to create things especially from things that everyone else considers trash junk or useless true I love fixing things others have given up on but more than that I mostly enjoy misappropriating things not necessarily functional things that still work for what they were intended to unless I have absolutely no use for it but rather making something that has great utility for me or anyone for that matter out of something that was intended for something completely different and if I make anything with an artistic appeal it's typically going to be something that no one else would have thought of as artistic (before they saw it) mostly because I don't give a damn how something looks as long as it works very well and if it doesn't and I can't improve it I might use it for Aesthetics (but rarely)
Not sure if true infj can stop feeling everything. Its said walls must be built yet a wall isnt natural to a true infj. Perhaps the true infj is evolution as to human innocence. Try to pretend to have a custom made helmet on. You do suffer as a true infj. Loved ones are often cruel without cause too.
I'm curious if there are a significant amount of ppl that share infj and dixlexic traits? My mind has always been on over drive. I realize now how not being able to see past my nose and being dixlexic and these other terrible and wonderful happenings in my have pointed me in a very specific place. The children. No one should be misunderstood.
Mostly yes. Although I find difficulty forgiving and moving on from a perceived hurt. I m ok if I can see that I was / am implicit in the situation though. I think Im this way because I can see how it could have gone better but Im not given the chance to facilitate change. :-) :-)
Certainty. Yes. I am certain of this that wich I am. I find myself to be more unique most days. I find myself statistically in the .01 .01 .01% of what makes me on paper. I find there to be now way what I have to be able to be put into words. It's quite unexplicable.
So I have a question about the intuitive part, In the past I've had 2 co-workers quit at my work, and I told them they will be back, within 2 weeks one of them came back, and the other came back within a month. Is this part of the INFJ feeling? Or is it just pure weird luck, and another time I was talking about a band (len steal my sunshine), and within a few minutes later the song came on, these are just a few examples of this stuff, is this the whole INFJ thing, or pure consicdences?
G'day Mate, I to am an INFJ and this happens to me all the time. It's our highly advanced introverted intuition our first and most dominant function working with our secondary function extraverted feeling. We can see and pick up on things other people can't see, and that's why they don't understand it. Even if you explain it to them which is often a waste of time, and or will make a situation worse. If you do, you run the risk of sounding arrogant.
It's called synchronicity, Carl Jung an INFJ psychologist came up with the theory. Happens to me constantly with technology, things that are going on in my life, coincide with what is going on with the TV or radio. Opens the possibilities that we all live in a simulation. I sometimes wonder if these strange synchronicities are not coincidence with our personality type! I got a text a few weeks ago about doing our attic insulation on the house, I realized when reading it, when the text was sent (10 min before I read it) that there was an episode on the computer of curious george in a freezing attic. I immediately texted the person back and scrolled back to where the episode was and sent the short video clip. Everyone who witnessed it was said WOW and couldn't believe it. It happens pretty much daily when I'm paying attention to background noise.
As an infj I have my smart days and I have my retarded days. My biggest problem is asking a question before giving my mind time to think about it for a couple minutes to find the answer myself. Smart people think for a couple minutes before asking questions that could humiliate their ego. I have come up with a 2 min. Waiting period before asking any question that I might find the answer myself and save me from asking a very dumb or obvious question.
I'd like to believe I am an INFJ. But it's rather hard or even impossible to convince me of anything . Just kidding ! If this type of personality exists, I am definitely one.
Nails us, thank you, much appreciated, though no two INFJ/HSPs/creative empaths are alike and we're as different as those snowflakes scientists also say aren't alike when put under a microscope! Diversity rules! Professional artist/illustrator/painter for over 50 years here and pianist/composer! Artists simply want to pay homage to the great creator of the Universe! That's all folks! Peace, love and namaste~ ♥🎨🖌🖼🎼🎹🎵🌎💙
INFJs ask themselves early on why the world is not harmonious and secondly, at least for me, how do I make the world harmonious since it obviously isn't. I have always tried to improve the world to achieve harmony and asked myself what could make people be happy. What could motivate people to interact harmoniously with one another? To all INFJs, maybe I can reach you. Our path is that of the Builder. We build by showing a wide, perhaps new world. It is not bad, but implies the future, as our species means growth. Choose engineers as your profession. Technology is our answer, that is our way. Intuition will lead your research, no matter what you want, to success. You know the power of intuition, which can switch on the entire brain. The biggest obstacle is that we are full of self-doubt because of our own nature. That our questions have no answers. But I have scientifically examined, verified and processed everything in hundreds of analyses. Don't see yourself as wrong, what's wrong is not growing, even in the unknown, growth is our path. Grow and recognize your strength. You INFJs are swans, proud and good people. Show them there is a better way. To strive for the path, to develop the path.
I am an INFJ. I write Christian humor. It does take me a long time to move forward with something because I want to be sure I am right. Having said that I was the one that kept on schedule for the Sunday School program we were writing knowing it would never be good enough for me but it needed to be done so that it could be in use. There was a time when my sister was really wrong about my brother and she was upset with me unfairly when he was in the wrong. I sent her a card saying how much I appreciated her and a brother birthday card in it. That was my way of dealing with her being really unfair to me when it came to my brother. I could have justifiably gotten angry with her and done the victim route. I chose to appreciate the fact that she is an amazing person, just wrong about this.
Paying attention to what someone is saying. Cause if you listen to a person talk long enough, you can usually figure out there character. The fish died for opening there own mouth!
I about early 20 realized I just got how things work. Not just chemistry or engineering but social behavior and even (if induced) how even Divinity goes about itself. Anyways never went to next logical question. How goes my own super powered cognitive faculty? How the fuck am I this FUCKED? BUT IGUESS ID GET LOST With ALL THE ENGINEERING STUFF MBTI FOUND ME. COST A ',FRIEND' HOPE SHES DOING WELL. SHE HAD UGLY DUCKLING SYNDROME... U KKNOW THE REST
Hey PSYCH-Os! 👋
*So, in your opinion, what are some other signs of unique INFJ intelligence?*
Comment down below 👇
Your question is "unique intelligence" - which doesn't necessarily mean it's an overall good thing when applied to reality, but I would consider this part of the INFJ intellect (or it's just my 'terrible' social skills):

Knowing your MBTI type can help you better understand your mental processes and behavior, as well as adjust your interpersonal approach to various situations and people. Hope this helps. 🙂
Punished for being smart, and for having a good memory.
Ironically, these are things that others have told me to do, not aware that it comes naturally, and that I do these things subconsciously most of the time. All whilst ignoring the fact that they haven't/don't do these things without immense difficulty. I have come to realise that it's simply projection on their part, after explaining over and over that I have, and then going into the details of my conclusions, so they can understand too. Perhaps it's the fact I can sometimes attract broken people, like cluster B's, that are not very self aware.
Wow I can truly relate to all these examples. I've often pondered on the idea of intelligence and how emotions play a part. I like how this brings some new perspective to mind on that very idea.
Well said - I'm glad we were able to depict that very idea, thank you for pointing it out 😌
This video was very accurate. The decisiveness part was so true for me. I can need to make a decision that may take me months and on occasion years to conclude which course I should take. When my intuitive nature is aligned with the decision I know I won't fail. Intuition was a trait I had to grow to accept. In my youth I'd reject it and things never went well for me. Once I accepted it life became so much easier to handle and plan the things within my ability to plan. Thanks I appreciate the insight.
This video is exceptional!!! You are spot on for me. I am an older INFJ and the information is extremely accurate, for me, anyway.
Thank you I enjoyed your videos 🎯I am an INFJ having, the gift of insight, and seeming everything AWAKENING 👁
As an INFJ I find my self in a constant thinking all day long, can't be stopped always worrying about stuff doesn't seem big deal for my friends and family. Also I can't feel satisfied with my self no mater what I have accomplished.
Oh yes, INFJ are like this. However, I would say that most of these caracteristics only became true after many life experiences. I wasn't quite like this in my tweenies but that is how I would describe myself since I hit my fourties.
Exactly! We still need to go through life’s ups and downs to find “enlightenment” or let’s say a better understanding of ourselves and our personality type. I’m turning 43 soon and I can attest that since I’ve turned 40, I’m looking at life from a renewed perspective. Not to sound elitist at all but it’s kinda like Neo in the matrix. I see more of the code or patterns to things and can detect red flags and other such things more efficiently and effectively. Or, I hope that’s the case. Lol
This is such a beautiful video. Thank you.
It's accurately insightful of how our intelligence works, and the true value it has to offer.
I feel seen in a way I didn't think was possible.
Thank you for such a positive but honest video. It just made my day😊.
Thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation, you have no idea how much it means! 🙏
😉😄👌☝️
We gather all the small details in what we experience and use it for our own sake to improve our skills, ideas, solutions or help others with. I found a great (very small) detail in one of your videos that I use when I write with a pen. My middle fingernail is now improving my handwriting. Thank you! Great video!
We are highly aware of the ambiguous nature of language, its constraints and potential trappings. We also see language as if a craft and use it creatively when expressing ourselves. When helping others, we are particularly mindful of our writing and take time to ensure we are concise, without diminishing our authenticity and compassion. We much prefer sharing space with another, where communication involves all of our senses and where we are most effective. Much love to all
It’s an awesome thing I came by this field of research. I was looking at different career options and a video about becoming an elevator installation tech and the Myers-Briggs analysis and how the job lined up with with the personality traits. It seemed interesting so I started to look into it and read about the different categories and a few were close or had overlapping characteristics that seemed to line up with me but when I got to infj it a light went off in my head. I decided to take a simple free test I really tried to be as honest as I could and didn’t expect any certain category but it came out infj. I still didn’t have a great grasp of what exactly the analysis was for and I was just curious if it could lead me to a more fulfilling/better career path. I wanted to know more after reading the different traits and kind of wondering if this was like people who believe in birth signs. I hoped on TH-cam trying to see what else I could learn about it and happened to see a video on infj types and it started a rabbit hole. I always thought it was weird how I look people up and down often times I catch myself mid way and feel like I was odd or not right and noticing most people don’t really do that. Anyways these videos are helping me feel more comfortable and I really appreciate everything I’ve learned from these voices that have spent the time and energy to put this out for people.
This is 100% me! These videos are so good.
So true. Thx
Thank you for including footage of people other than millennials.
4:45 everybody wants to always relate creativity with the Arts and I wish they would expand their understanding of creativity because creativity for me is quite different from most but it's still creativity it's just practical creativity or creativity with an emphasis on utility because I love to create things especially from things that everyone else considers trash junk or useless true I love fixing things others have given up on but more than that I mostly enjoy misappropriating things not necessarily functional things that still work for what they were intended to unless I have absolutely no use for it but rather making something that has great utility for me or anyone for that matter out of something that was intended for something completely different and if I make anything with an artistic appeal it's typically going to be something that no one else would have thought of as artistic (before they saw it) mostly because I don't give a damn how something looks as long as it works very well and if it doesn't and I can't improve it I might use it for Aesthetics (but rarely)
Any empaths ever wish they were sociopaths just to stop feeling everything? Where is the balance?
Not sure if true infj can stop feeling everything. Its said walls must be built yet a wall isnt natural to a true infj. Perhaps the true infj is evolution as to human innocence. Try to pretend to have a custom made helmet on. You do suffer as a true infj. Loved ones are often cruel without cause too.
Awesome video!
Thank you for the appreciation!!
Well done you hit the nail on the head so me
Excellent! Spot on!
I'am an INFJ and I have know it for allmost 1 year now But I still dont know what i shold work as whit my talents 🤔❤🌟
I'm curious if there are a significant amount of ppl that share infj and dixlexic traits? My mind has always been on over drive. I realize now how not being able to see past my nose and being dixlexic and these other terrible and wonderful happenings in my have pointed me in a very specific place. The children. No one should be misunderstood.
Yes, exactly!
🙌 Thank you for watching!
Mostly yes. Although I find difficulty forgiving and moving on from a perceived hurt. I m ok if I can see that I was / am implicit in the situation though. I think Im this way because I can see how it could have gone better but Im not given the chance to facilitate change. :-) :-)
Hell yeahhhh .. you are spot on alright...
Indeed!
Certainty. Yes. I am certain of this that wich I am. I find myself to be more unique most days. I find myself statistically in the .01 .01 .01% of what makes me on paper. I find there to be now way what I have to be able to be put into words. It's quite unexplicable.
Thanks
So I have a question about the intuitive part, In the past I've had 2 co-workers quit at my work, and I told them they will be back, within 2 weeks one of them came back, and the other came back within a month. Is this part of the INFJ feeling? Or is it just pure weird luck, and another time I was talking about a band (len steal my sunshine), and within a few minutes later the song came on, these are just a few examples of this stuff, is this the whole INFJ thing, or pure consicdences?
G'day Mate, I to am an INFJ and this happens to me all the time. It's our highly advanced introverted intuition our first and most dominant function working with our secondary function extraverted feeling. We can see and pick up on things other people can't see, and that's why they don't understand it. Even if you explain it to them which is often a waste of time, and or will make a situation worse. If you do, you run the risk of sounding arrogant.
@@fazzaustralia8932 also living in a world dominated by extraverted sensors explanations are typically malaigned
It's called synchronicity, Carl Jung an INFJ psychologist came up with the theory. Happens to me constantly with technology, things that are going on in my life, coincide with what is going on with the TV or radio. Opens the possibilities that we all live in a simulation. I sometimes wonder if these strange synchronicities are not coincidence with our personality type! I got a text a few weeks ago about doing our attic insulation on the house, I realized when reading it, when the text was sent (10 min before I read it) that there was an episode on the computer of curious george in a freezing attic. I immediately texted the person back and scrolled back to where the episode was and sent the short video clip. Everyone who witnessed it was said WOW and couldn't believe it. It happens pretty much daily when I'm paying attention to background noise.
@@daspur19 Exactly!
@@fazzaustralia8932 spot on 💯 percent. My kids (all adults) find this trait very unnerving and think I’m blunt and critical when I just know things
As an infj I have my smart days and I have my retarded days. My biggest problem is asking a question before giving my mind time to think about it for a couple minutes to find the answer myself. Smart people think for a couple minutes before asking questions that could humiliate their ego. I have come up with a 2 min. Waiting period before asking any question that I might find the answer myself and save me from asking a very dumb or obvious question.
Admit it, all INFJs here are just trying to figure out more about themselves. I’m here for that too
You're making me nervous! You seem to know all about me and worse still, announcing it all the public.
I'm an infj. Feel like I've been put on a pedestal.
Me and thank you for this video it great
Yes I truth ❤💛💚😇
I'd like to believe I am an INFJ. But it's rather hard or even impossible to convince me of anything .
Just kidding !
If this type of personality exists, I am definitely one.
That's me thanks
Nails us, thank you, much appreciated, though no two INFJ/HSPs/creative empaths are alike and we're as different as those snowflakes scientists also say aren't alike when put under a microscope! Diversity rules! Professional artist/illustrator/painter for over 50 years here and pianist/composer! Artists simply want to pay homage to the great creator of the Universe! That's all folks! Peace, love and namaste~ ♥🎨🖌🖼🎼🎹🎵🌎💙
Yes
That third eye chakra though
Awesome
Yes they do.
yep
INFJs ask themselves early on why the world is not harmonious and secondly, at least for me, how do I make the world harmonious since it obviously isn't. I have always tried to improve the world to achieve harmony and asked myself what could make people be happy. What could motivate people to interact harmoniously with one another? To all INFJs, maybe I can reach you. Our path is that of the Builder. We build by showing a wide, perhaps new world. It is not bad, but implies the future, as our species means growth. Choose engineers as your profession. Technology is our answer, that is our way. Intuition will lead your research, no matter what you want, to success. You know the power of intuition, which can switch on the entire brain. The biggest obstacle is that we are full of self-doubt because of our own nature. That our questions have no answers. But I have scientifically examined, verified and processed everything in hundreds of analyses. Don't see yourself as wrong, what's wrong is not growing, even in the unknown, growth is our path. Grow and recognize your strength. You INFJs are swans, proud and good people. Show them there is a better way. To strive for the path, to develop the path.
Namaste
Sometimes i just know.
I am an INFJ. I write Christian humor.
It does take me a long time to move forward with something because I want to be sure I am right. Having said that I was the one that kept on schedule for the Sunday School program we were writing knowing it would never be good enough for me but it needed to be done so that it could be in use.
There was a time when my sister was really wrong about my brother and she was upset with me unfairly when he was in the wrong. I sent her a card saying how much I appreciated her and a brother birthday card in it. That was my way of dealing with her being really unfair to me when it came to my brother. I could have justifiably gotten angry with her and done the victim route. I chose to appreciate the fact that she is an amazing person, just wrong about this.
Im an Infj, I'm not smart, I just do. That's why I work in the medical field, no degree, but earning at a college graduate level pay. 👍
And what do you do and where outta curiosity
Paying attention to what someone is saying. Cause if you listen to a person talk long enough, you can usually figure out there character. The fish died for opening there own mouth!
I resemble this video.
Sincerely,
Me
ESSE VÍDEO SERIA DE GRANDE AJUDA PRA MIM E OUTROS INFJ SE TIVESSE LEGENDA EM PORTUGUÊS. AQUI NO BRASIL É MUITO RASO NESTE TEMA.GRATIDÃO
I'm dumb AF. Under promise and over deliver. 😁
Hei= Hello Outside of the box thinking! Mental 5*
I got RID of the box...!!!!
I about early 20 realized I just got how things work. Not just chemistry or engineering but social behavior and even (if induced) how even Divinity goes about itself. Anyways never went to next logical question. How goes my own super powered cognitive faculty? How the fuck am I this FUCKED? BUT IGUESS ID GET LOST With ALL THE ENGINEERING STUFF
MBTI FOUND ME. COST A ',FRIEND'
HOPE SHES DOING WELL. SHE HAD UGLY DUCKLING SYNDROME... U KKNOW THE REST
My God there’s no way you can know me like. What am I??
🎯
💪❤🎯💯. 😆
💚💚💚
They sound all too familiar.
really ... i think they are silly most of the times ....
Yes absolutely the empathetic awarness is a curse for me 🥲
Yes
