    We might be slow but once we figure out the pattern we run circles around others. We also take the patterns we learn and figure out how to apply them to other areas of life!

      Don't be hard on yourself. You're more than likely not slow at all. I used to think I was, but something changed. Hopefully you could relate.
      I believe that INFJ's give the _appearance_ of being slow because we have the tendency to be over analytical. I'm an INFJ-T (the broken kind lol). When I was growing up, I had a lot of abandonment issues. I didn't have a father and my mother wasn't able to meet my emotional needs. I was picked on and emotionally neglected. So growing up, I developed a social anxiety disorder. And because I was so anxious to not say the wrong thing, to make sure my voice was not too loud or too low, to make sure I made eye contact, but without starring and soooooooo many other things I was focused on all at once, that it gave analytical paralysis.
      In other words, I was a computer who thought I didn't have a lot of RAM in my processor. But my RAM was fine the whole time. It's just that I was running waaaaaaaay too many programs at once, uploading and downloading movies while playing video games - all at the same time... so of COURSE my system crashed. There was too much information processing in my head that I could barely speak. So when I would take too long to respond to question, it gave the _appearance_ that I didn't have the answer.
      I was hurt a lot. People really looked down on me. My closest friends thought I was dumb. But after I realized that a lot of people are generally immoral and untrustworthy, the less I cared how people saw me. And the less I gave a shit of what other people thought about me, the easier it was for me to think. And it turns out that not only am I not dumb, but most people I know consider me quiet intelligent, both friends and co-workers. My first clue was how I could be BRILLIANT when I'm alone or chatting online, but "slow" when I was speaking to someone in person. It was my nerves, not my intellect, that was the problem.
      Sorry if I rambled and made no sense. It just bothered me to hear you call yourself "slow". You write well and there's no indication of you being "slow".

      Hello. But, you can't figure out new patterns without PAIN! Not everything can be narrowed down to known stuff. Especially if you chose science as your profession. It's our nature as INFJ to try to apply known patterns, but when you don't have one, you rely on external pieces of data that are seemingly not connected. You have to use external sensing, that is the opposite of your internal intuition (Ni), and often times you need to set aside a piece that you can't connect to what you know/understand until you connect other pieces, some more pieces. And your Ni is fighting against that, it wants to connect it immediately, you can't put it down. That piece bugs you like a pea bugs the princess bellow 100 matrasses. But Ni can't connect it. And you lose immense amount of time. Especially in science (I'm an electrical engineer). I cannot state how much time I have lost trying to figure out new field/lesson or to get the "formula" myself without looking at the solution. Learning is hard for us. And in some professions you have to learn new stuff your whole life. I'm 38 yo, and I fight to learn every day. And doesn't matter how much I know, I always have the feeling that I know nothing. There is just to much that is needed to even make a pattern! I just hate that!

    I always felt like I was a slow learner and a lot of my teachers in High School and the other kids treated me like I was because I have a different learning style. This greatly discouraged me from putting in a solid effort at school. The teachers requested that I be put in special Ed classes and hired a specialist to come in and evaluate me with tests that measure cognitive ability. The specialist told my teachers the results and that I was not cognitively slow but the opposite. I was gifted and needed higher-level classes that the small High School didn't offer to make learning challenging enough for me. I hated High School and the other students and it was a bad experience for me because I felt like a misunderstood outcast which I was. I later went to college and am a straight-A student as I pursue my passion in life which is educating others about health and fitness.

      Me too I was also put in special needs classes even tho I didn't have any sort of learning "disability" as they thought with no diagnosis, they believed I struggled with staying focused but honestly I was taught to HATE school due my narcissistic/overbearing ISTJ father even in a young age sitting me down to do math problems with a belt in his hand. I hated the concept of authority and people controlling me so I subconsciously choose to and that remained absolute to adult hood I was a very stoic yet explosively emotional child. I had trouble with the overload of details feeling overwhelmed by the pressure that I was put to learn things right away my child brain was just like "wtf I ain't doing this shit" and would rather zone out to my imagination. I had a habit of getting in trouble for standing up to my teachers. I had an eye for significance and always questioning what matters to me and everyone else I hold dear and how I apply that information to my life to be more connected to them and what can I learn from the experiences of others to inspire me to do what I want to do. I enhanced my Ni by dissecting visual concepts and creating my own questions through T.V shows and music I liked analyzing since I grew up really liking music and I've met amazing music teachers along my way who thought me the significance of words and expression. I was praised for being talented and intelligent by my teachers but also labeled "easily distracted" which is weird to me cause I didn't give 0 fucks about school so I could care less about work constantly labeled "lazy" but when i got invested . this took me an hour to type how embarrassing :/

    Here is the funny thing about how we learn things. At times we will learn things slowly because we approach subjects in a very methodical way. We don't just want to learn it , we want to understand and own it. When others think we are learning something slowly we are in fact miles ahead what they think we know. So never let their comments bring you down, they are the true slow learners. take care everyone.

      In my case (not sure if other INFJ's feel this way) I cannot memorize things I don't give a shit about. If I don't see a purpose in learning something, I will not retain information.

    The problem I have is finding an employer who sees value in process not just results. INFJs give results after process and the results are worth the wait. I just feel very discouraged that all I seem to hear is work faster.

    I always felt like I was a slow learner and needed to learn more visually and hands-on/kinesthetic. I was diagnosed with a learning disability in elementary school which gave me low confidence and was subjected to bullying. Even the special ed people didn't help me. They made me feel stupid and the special ed teacher in high school would just tell me that my math looked hard when I told them I had trouble with algebra and I felt like no-one really helped me. Maybe I just needed to be in more creative writing, music and theater/drama classes because I always excelled in the art classes. In fact, my artist friends are surprised that I can write poetry, lyrics, comedy material and yet struggle in school and work. I actually have always learned things in a more abstract way than memorization. It's like I remember things when I see or do something, but I can't understand if people just tell me things. It took me years to realize I'm not learning disabled, I'm just learning different.

      😁 Nope.
      I'm autodidact, the only thing I learned in school is reading, writing & simple math, the rest I figured out myself.
      🤔Luckily I've figured out *HOW* to think very early in life so wasn't that much affected when school taught me *WHAT* to think. I guess this plays a huge role in why I'm a cognitive empath?
      Unlike most people I don't feel the urge to compare myself with others, which made it easy for me to be a loner who doesn't need others for validation. I knew early on that I was unlike the vast majority so made 0 effort to be like them.
      🧠The 1st thing I did was figuring out what society is and what it's function is and once I had figured this out I could plan how to make society work for me instead of just becoming another cog in the machine.
      😎I guess that from the very start I instinctively was looking for the ultimate work-live balance for myself.

      The greatest thing about our Ni and Fe combination is that if your family envirement was positive to what you naturally feel inside, you will never doubt your self for what your learning style is because what you see from your closest ones when you are child becomes your basic and undoubtfull beliefe in your self. I have never been pushed from my parents to be something that don't comes for me naturally, to be competitive, to be the leader, to be ambitiouse, to be first in everything, no one has never told me to change myself because „I'm broken“. It's my father that gave me that undoubtfull beliefe in my self most of all by subtale clues and that is what we are best in - reading the subtale informational background and transform what fits to what we feel about our selfs into confidence with the help of our Fe that make us feel the envirement around us even better. Moreover my father loves to demonstrate his personal boundaries not just by subtale signals. In simple words I have never had occasions to doubt myself deeply as I was a child so my specifics as an INFJ are more of an occasion for me to feel resentment to people who can't understand my differences than to turn the resentment against me as a generalizations like „I'm stupid, I'm incompetent, there's something wrong about me“ and things like that. After all we are all people and for us this is not just a combination of words. This phrase contains such a powerfull subtale sense - „aknowledge me, not because I want to, but because we all need to aknowledge one onother with all of our prons and cons, with all our rationality and madness. I can be introverted, I can be slightly weired, but I'm just a man like you“. It's so easy to see how things are linked in a unique way. This was very inspiring.

    Just an fyi, you might want to look into the differences between "inductive reasoning" and "deductive reasoning". One of the ways you utilize mathematics as a means of explaining the difference between linear learning and exponential learning, is the exact same way I explained the difference between inductive versus deductive reasoning.
    Inductive reasoning is where you collect personal experiences, memorization of the data, etc etc... And deductive reasoning is where you learn the structure of mathematics and then formulate an argument with a premise (a reason for believing a thing) and a conclusion (the thing itself).
    To oversimplify I usually talk about memorizing 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 2 = 4, and 2 + 3 = 5. You have enough experience telling you over and over the these are how things function, this is a collection of knowledge that you've acquired inductively. At this point though, the only thing you've had personal experience with and know for sure exists are the numbers 1-5. Those are the only numbers that you've experienced.
    But, deductive reasoning allows you to make an argument such as...
    P1). If 1-5 exist.
    P2). And if mathematics functions the way it seems to.
    :. Then, other conceptualizations of numbers such as 6,7,8, 9, and 10 must also exist.
    [EDIT: Whereas inductive learning prioritizes memorizing P1, deductive reasoning and exponential growth requires figuring out P2 as well, and then applying it in a valid and sound argument. This might also be one of the reasons as to why it's "slower"... There are more steps, you have to "learn" them yourself, and they're more difficult than memorization.]
    The person that prioritizes inductive learning will think that you're nuts. They will make the assumption that you're slow, or that you're inventing something to make yourself seem smart. They'll try to argue with you, correct you, and state that it's obvious that the numbers 1-5 exist, but they've never heard of such a wild thing as those other numbers that you're trying to talk about.
    And both the person that prioritizes deductive reasoning, and a person that instead of linear learning, prioritizes this type of exponential learning, they will be able to deduce the underlining mechanisms, and what they infer about the rest of reality.

But once, we INFJs had gathered all the knowledge or information about doing certain things and make a pattern behind it thru the use of NI-TI, we had this magic of doing things on autopilot because we accumulate information about the needed skills, talents and abilities required on creating an infj epic life, changing our concept of reality, stepping out from our comfort zone that doenst overwhelmed us. It feels like we reach the peak of the tip of the mountain after hours of climbing to the top ❤️🤗.

    It's all so true. English is my second language. When I was learning it ages ago, I'd always read grammar books instead of exercise books, I compared sentences, words, structures - in order to understand how the native speakers think. I saw multiple correlations between various structures. The other students had to learn separate structures: 1, 2, 3 and 4. To me, structure 3 was a combination of structures 1 and 2 and structure 4 was a combination of structures 2 and 3. So, in fact, I only needed to understand structures 1 and 2 and I knew that I'd figure 3 and 4 out by myself. The more you understand the less you need to learn.
    Now I have the same with Dutch. My spelling is better than that of most native speakers. Why? Because I noticed that Dutch and English have more or less the same grammatical structure. I know when and which form of the verb I should use and I discovered the spelling patterns for each tense. Very often, I only need to look at the first word of the sentence and at the verb, without reading the sentence, and I already know if the verb is misspelled or not. They often say that Dutch spelling is difficult to which I reply "Oh, it totally isn't!", but when I try to explain it all to the natives, they just don't understand me. It's as if I am speaking Chinese. They don't see what I see.

    People were always harping at me as a child that I was too slow, so I agreeably decided to do my work faster. Then I got harped at for missing details. (Details not a strong suit for the INFJ.) As I got older, I figured that chose pushing for accuracy over speed was tge best bet at the beginning because the accuracy was more important. I learned to break things down into pieces and take little bits at a time, and after a while the speed improved. Whether it would be as good or as fast as someone else was questionable but at least I could say I gave it the best effort.
    In retrospect, I realized that this was the beginning of two basic principles of getting any job done and it probably applies to any personality type but certainly to us INFJs in particular.
    1. Sometimes we have to take time to save time.
    2. Sometimes we have to slow down to speed up
    I have a hunch that often we INFJs end up learning some things more thoroughly even though it seems slow at the beginning. And interestingly enough, planning ahead and taking time to save time and slowing down to speed up actually can save time for us and help us to turn in good work. And after a while, we can get faster - and get even better. I think of the patterns that you mentioned as part of the breaking down of tasks into smaller pieces and setting up a pattern. I think it's a wonderful way to get to really know something well.
    You've described the pattern making process well. Another super video worth reviewing - lots. ❤

    I have always felt that most people start at 0% and I started at -15% BUT felt that most people max out at 100% and I max out at 115%. When I've gotten good at a certain thing, I got REALLY good at it. Maybe it's just me?

      Happens to me too. I'm always hesitant to learn something new just cause I know it will take me a long time. Especially group work like classes. But if I just keep persistent I end up being very good .

    I've noticed in my life when learning something new, I'll often feel like I'm stuck and clueless, like I hit a wall. Then, I may be doing something completely unrelated that provides new information and BOOM it clicks and I fully understand the new thing I've been learning to do and excel from there. Usually it's from a conversation.

    I love this. I used to think that throughout my school life (as I have appalling recall; yet it’s all in there esp at 2am 🤦🏻‍♀️) I sat for an interview not knowing that there will be a mathematical test ;5q’s in 1 minute. As I had no time to think, I did the high number multiplication q’s, with 35 sec’s to spare. 5/5 correct. I was 42. The first time in my life, I realised I wasn’t dumb. Throughout school, I could never remember which was Fiction, which was non Fiction. I developed this thing where, I pause and think ok, this was bulls##t this was is no bs, it works every time without panic. I now share it with humour and not embarrassment. 🥰🙏🏻❤️🧡

    I tend to be a slow learner, and sometimes no no progress in learning despite my best efforts, and I think it’s important to mention finding someone who teaches things the right way for you. I love math - when I can understand it. When I can’t, it can literally drive me to tears. I actually cried every time in class for Geometry. The teacher would belittle me in front of my peers, too. Then I traded schools after moving states and came across the best math teacher ever. I got the highest grade in her class, and was able to pick up what I wasn’t getting before QUICK because this teacher laid out the basics in a way for me to understand!
    Yes, INFJs are slow learners. Yes, INFJs learn at an exponential rate. But most importantly, yes, INFJs need an array of different techniques to learn.

    I sit back and analyze everything. I read tendencies through sound, sight, smell and feel to create a trend in my head in order to predict “what if’s” or to solve a problem. In my job the difference between a good chemical process operator and a great one is “troubleshooting”. And this can be useful in any job. I’m happy to find your channel and catching up on videos.

    Great video! One of the coolest things I've discovered is relatively unique to INFJ is that we can learn something new, whether it be a golf swing or a new instrument(or a first one). Biology, astronemy... I'm pretty sure it applies to most things, anyway, we can practice and do the actual practice reps, virtually, in our mind with such accuracy that it improves our performance. We can perform thought experiments in our mind that even account for other people's emotional reactions and be spot on.
    On the bad side, i really wish that i WASN'T so good at spotting patterns and when things are off, because usually, i would have rather not have

  • @user-oj5bw7sl8p

    That's why there are so many university people among INFJ. Often INFJ is considered to be "slow" in elementary school, "just ok" in secondary school, but brilliant, as soon as they get to university. Because in the childhood many adults expect chidren to learn by listetning patiently, remembering & repeating, what the adults say. But in the university young adults are expected to find their own ways of understanding, how the world works, how the problem can be solved, how the necessary results may be achieved. University students are simply allowed & incouraged by their superiors to use their brains & creativity, - not only their memory & patience, like the children in the elementary school.

    I was put in a "special" math class one year in 3rd grade. In high school I never missed an algebra problem, not on homework, quiz, test or bonus problem. All 100% correct. 102.3% that year. I had one entire 25 problem homework I did not do at all so it is beatable. My daughter come so close!! I taught myself Calculus in 2 days and 3 nights just to help a girl I liked with her college class. I wondered later in life if I "a quiet poor kid" was put in that class by the school for money, I learned that I did have a hard time learning things but after I did I was the best, well maybe not the best but close.

    All this time of my life i always struggling because i can't explain my point or even how i learn things. I am in my point that i undeveloped my Fe not just because i am type 5 (by enneagram) but because I always struggle to connect to people because of how i think. I'm not that typical INFJ that can balance the Fe and Ti. Because when i use Fe i always a listener to the point i don't tell anyone what's on my mind cause i know they rather don't understand it or majority wins as always.

    Just as a simple example, not getting into all the major things of my experience... I'm doing domestic labor in a hospital the past year... I ask a lot of questions, I always slower than others... they pretty fast... but I'm reliable cos I do it properly and I have my reasons for what I choose to do... If I'm in a hurry I'm clear in my mind what I can skip and what not...
    When all the agency temps had gone, I was still there... and finally they got a few more... even though we were going to be all ended... This past week, I do two wards in the evening, they faster, someone jealous that I have easy two wards and she has hard ones... When she made a snarky remark it got under my skin, but I went to the supers and I said I can't do this fast enough to help the other ward... Only maybe half the time... But at the end of the week they still turned to me to fill in some other wards as well as my own... And I was able to do it.
    Sometimes people really surprised when I do something extra fast. And still do it properly.
    Also in karate I was recognized for doing really fast moves. But a taekwondo teacher who didn't know me well assumed I'm slow cos he couldn't see my speed...

    To those it may concern. Small improvements daily really does seem to keep the discouragement at bay. As an example. I’m learning to play guitar. The daily improvement I look for is slightly smoother and more coordinated finger movements with the simple spider walk practice. Slightly more consistent note ringing with up stroke and down stroke picking. Nothing else. I’m taking this approach after years of disappointment trying to learn bass guitar. I don’t understand music theory, the fret board, chords. Non of it. Yet.

In business, I have to surround myself with people who can think on their feet, as that is something I cannot do. I also express myself much better in writing, then verbally. Finally, I HATE my phone for business, as I am no great at fluid, impromptu conversation, and I definitely can't make decisions on the fly like that. Thank you for your post....

    We recognize patterns like 9X6 = 60-6 / 9X7=70-7 / 9X8 = 80-8 / 9X9 = 90-9. This way, if I forget a value, I use these patterns to remember. I use patterns to understand many other things in life. This also makes it harder for charlatans to manipulate me. Intuition is like a rudder to guide me as I navigate life.

    The art of Mastery is a slow process. There is competency learning, there is rote memorization. I wondered why I spent so much time studying things. When I enter a project I feel woefully under-prepared. Then come the sleepless nights, the hard process. At some point, you cant look at the world and they are annoyed that you are so slow.... the worst thing is when you are let go for being slow. But if they leave you to it, you end up becoming the true expert with understanding, as you say, the underlying pattern. the problem doesnt matter. The pattern solves all....

    I don’t relate to learning slow. On the contrary I learn really fast as long as I see the big picture first. My brain then connects the dots really quickly. Some teachers take things step by step in a linear way and I get frustrated about not knowing why we’re doing it, where we’re heading and that it might not be the best route.

    Hell my original school just ignored me as a lost cause. Shoved me to the side & focused on the normal kids.
    No word of a lie this actually happened. 90s public school was like a prison. It was not a good place.
    I was eventually moved to a special needs school. (I'm autistic), & was a mixed bag. I either excelled or was utterly useless. No middle ground.
    I'll be honest I think I'm an idiot. I have been told I'm the opposite but I don't know. I lack far more than I know, & what I know, I know I only know a bit. Try reading that five times fast lol.
    Its funny. Because what you talk about here, the slow small steps to make your new normal.
    That is exactly how I lost weight & maintain it. So maybe there is some truth to this.

    Am I doubting my ability to achieve what I want as an INFJ because of my unique learning style? No. As much as I enjoy my career as a mechanic, it is also my hobby as well. I continue to always research on technical info for all types of vehicles that I work on both on and off duty. It's because it does take me time to get all the info, I need to accomplish a successful repair or modification project. I may seem slow, yet in the end, I do it right. Because it's embarrassing to either get in trouble for not doing it right, and/or doing it over. I like being the "go to" guy when it comes to this stuff.
