INFP Personality Inside & Out...

INFP, what makes you YOU? What makes the INFP personality tick? What are the building blocks of the INFP personality type? In this video I'll explain the INFP personality type inside and out - from their cognitive functions Introverted Feeling, Extraverted Intuition, Introverted Sensing, and Extraverted Thinking to their strengths, weaknesses, and unique gift to the world.
INFP Cognitive Functions:
1. Introverted Feeling (Fi)
2. Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
3. Introverted Sensing (Si)
4. Extraverted Thinking (Te)
5. Extraverted Feeling (Fie
6. Introverted Intuition (Ni)
7. Extraverted Sensing (Se)
8. Introverted Thinking (Ti)

FAQ:
Have you heard of the 8-function model?
Yes, I was introduced to the 8-function model in approx. 2015/16, and I have been working on Ti in my personal life which is not in my top 4. My "Inside Out" series touches on it, and I plan to dive deeper in a future series.
Have you heard of socionics, enneagram, tritype, vultology, 4 sides of the mind, interaction styles, OPS, or CPT?
Yes to all. I have a couple collabs and videos on my channel about enneagram and socionics. The other systems I've heard of and studied on a surface-level, and own/have read books on many of the above topics. For one reason or another, none of these topics have interested me enough to discuss regularly on the channel.
Stereotyping:
Any time I say a behavioral example of how a type shows up like "I tend to notice a lot of ISTJs with fitbits" this is to ground the theoretical concept for viewers who have repeatedly asked me to give behavioral examples and to make content less abstract and confusing. However, any time I stray from motives and transfer to behavior, it will lose universal application. Any time I give an example like this, it is not an absolute, it is not a rule, that behavior is not exclusive to that type, that behavior is not the exclusive manifestation of a type's motives, not everyone or even most of the type might do that thing; but it is simply a one-time example of how the motivations that ISTJs share could manifest - not how they must manifest.
In addition, different motivations aside from Si-Te motivations could also prompt someone to get a fitbit, so this behavior alone cannot be used to type someone. In my day to day life, I do not see people with a fitbit and therefore declare them an ISTJ. Any example I give did not come from inductive reasoning which gets applied universally like "I saw 3 ISTJs who wear fitbits therefore all ISTJs have fitbits." In addition these examples can be backed up deductively with Carl Jung's and Van Der Hoop's writing like "Si is finely attuned to sense organs"; "Te likes outcomes and metrics" "therefore an example could be, but is not limited to, ISTJs wearing fitbits, especially when used to measure sense organs."
I have been working on Ti and thus curbing misunderstandings on this front, but in case I say something contrary to this belief, it was due to sloppy Te langauge (or it was a non-serious joke) and not because I believe differently.

To all my fellow INFP's out there (speaking as a 67 year old veteran of 'da feels') hitch yourself to the cause that resonates, whatever you do. You already know that money isn't everything and people's reactions to your advocacy will vary... it comes down to "so what!", right? When you're both patiently and lovingly involved in your cause, you will shine. Thank you for engaging.

[@lifestoryguy]

I don't know if it will help my fellow INFPs, but I started turning my poems and letters into animated videos on KZbin. One of the reasons I did this was because I thought it was a fun way of sneaking poetry into people's lives. After all, not many people will buy my poetry books but they might watch a very short animated video on KZbin. I mention it here because I thought it might inspire you to do your own channel. I continue to do my channel because my inner 10 year old loved to watch art shows and now it gets to play with an animated program called Doodly. It makes me smile and chuckle, which is as good a reason to do something in my book even if it makes little logical sense. While I can't draw by hand and many of my videos are probably pretty weird to most people, I thought that even if they are a bit naff to you, they might inspire you. After all, I write books because I thought the ones I read were rubbish, so why not create that KZbin channel if you think what i'm producing is nonsense. I mean, if I'm prepared to upload the kind of thing I'm creating, I'm certain you could produce something that's of much better quality. In short, be bold my fellow INFPs. You'll probably find people won't judge you as harshly as you think they will. You may even find some relief in their indifference.

Or misinterpreted would maybe be a better word to describe it 😅

[@cathysuitor6956]

At the end, you said, “…what you are doing matters, it makes a difference.” That resonated with me. To me, my life would be wasted, if I didn’t feel that I made a difference. I get lost when I try to define or put metrics on any difference I could be making, which leaves me wondering, if I’m imaging it. It was encouraging that you said those words. Thank you!

[@hotpink3459]

Great video! I'm an INFP and the descriptions of Fi and Ne were very spot on for me. I definitely have a hard time moving on from exes/idealizing them (Si). It's funny that you brought up Netflix. Whenever I watch movies, I completely zone out and think about how certain things are relating to me, or I start thinking of possibilities. I have a very hard time staying present when watching movies and usually have to have someone explain what happened to me. 😂

[@audreymado7268]

I have the exact same problem !! I thought i was the person that have writting that comment !!! It’s become harder and harder to moving on from my ex (from 2 years ago) and before him from 4years ago!! And of course i idealise so many love tvshows !! Hope we will get rid of that habit Sorryyy my english isn’t perfect (From France)

[@aekorfker]

Great explanation! One of the (many) things I appreciate about the infp’s in my life (40- 65 year old) is that they never really stagnate in the sense of getting to old to dream, we still have exciting conversations about future possibilities

[@amampathak]

This is one of the best videos on INFP type in general, as an INFP myself, I genuinely want to thank you for making this! absolutely wonderful stuff!

[@SneakyPeakyLeaky]

Really love your explanations! I’m an INFP teen, and as I develop Ne I really find myself having more fun with life. When we’re at our best, life is an endless array of possibilities and outlets to express our values. One of my goals in life is to create something meaningful like a video game or tv show, as I absolutely love indie media and I’m so happy to live in a time where it’s possible to be a widely successful indie creator. These dreams comes with a cost, of course. Personally at least, it’s really easy (too easy) for me to lean too hard into Si. At my worst, I’m too stuck in my own head reminiscing on the past, things people have said to me, and the things I can’t do. Yes, it’s true that thriving as an INFP in this world is extremely tough. We are constantly berated for being too quiet, too childish, too lazy, sometimes even by those we’re closest to. But we can’t seriously let people convince us that we absolutely CAN’T thrive. Us creatives have so much to offer, and we can’t let those qualities go to waste. There’s a reason so many memorable and important creatives were INFPs. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience, and I ended up going on a little rant. 😅 Regardless, this video is absolutely SPOT ON! You did a great job!! Stay well, fellow INFPs! ❤ Edit: I really appreciate how you touched on INFPs getting a bad rep in the MBTI community. That aspect really sucks. When I had first discovered that I was an INFP, I was overjoyed, literally to the point of tears. I feel like I had gone a lot of my life feeling “misunderstood”, (that probably sounds self-centred ;-;) so I was really excited to finally have a community that understood. But honestly, I found that a lot of the MBTI community really looks down upon us, and disregards anything we have to say simply because we’re the “feely crybaby INFPs”. Lemme just say though, these videos and articles such as yours really make it all worth it, and the INFP community by itself is awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@user-dx9my1en2d]

i think that the community looking down upon that certain type also happens with all the other types, especially misunderstanding ESFPs and ESTJs. I notice that its usually ENFJs and INFJs who dislike INFPs for some reason, and INTJs who favor them

[@PositivePulse123]

@@user-dx9my1en2d ENFJ's are supposed to be ideal. I saw online ENFJ and INFJ's that said they like INFP's. But, good to know that. I always loved INTJ's. I thought they didn't like me lol.

[@jasoncasale3708]

Thank you .. It's hard being an INFP we think and perceive things differently that most. It's excruciating to relate to others somedays and glorious in the moments where we are able to.. We live in a spectrum of elation and then disappointment in any given moment. I never feel validated as an INFP, and often made to feel inferior, or what I have to offer is less than others. I have such huge compassion on a good day.. My hope is huge on a good day. My love and compassion for others is big on a good day. It's the multiple bad day spells that leave you exhausted crabby frustrated and wanting to be left alone in the cathartic process that are hard. I wish I had more good than bad days. Those darn melancholy days make me feel so bad about myself, what I have to offer and my capabilities. I do appreciate you validating us however.. Thats so nice of you. I am so glad you appreciate us.. Yes we have few friends because we have unbelievably high standards for them. The ones we do have are amazing.

[@sunflowerpower642]

Wow do u have any advice for someone dating an infp

[@jasoncasale3708]

@@sunflowerpower642 yes please give space when we feel bad for our cathartic process. We often need to be alone to process when bad things happen and it takes longer than most people. We feel our emotions deeply and sometimes the roller coaster is exhausting, we simply need more rest literally physical sleep and time to ourselves to recover. We will talk when we are ready however if you poke and prod it just makes us mad. I love being an INFP but we are complicated and wonderful and yes it is not easy dating us. I am delighted I have a wonderful wife of 30 years that gets it, because very few people could or would be willing to try to..

Extraverted intuition “excitedly creating the future” - just what I needed to hear. Thank u. What a thoughtful and detailed video, seriously well done. U r an expert.

[@Africantulip]

Si is just so real omggg. It brings back memories of the past and someway predict the future based on that. That makes me either anxious or overwhelmed. Then I move to not making amy move at all.. it's really is an overused weakness. Wowww

[@maggieo1683]

The Te random screaming spike attack was so true lol. I used to have sporadic motivation to change something about my life, be it my diet or to write a book or to exercise or whatever. It would last a couple days to a week or two, but then I would revert back to my old Si ways. But your INFP videos and also planning videos have helped me out a lot to become more of a planner. Actually, I'm leaving for a study abroad trip in Australia and New Zealand in about two weeks. At first Si told me it was too big of a plan and I'd never follow through, but I used my Ne to get excited about such and opportunity and my Te to plan for this trip for the past 6-8 months, and now I'm about ready to leave! Something about your videos, I think it's your Te that speaks to my inferior Te, never fails to inspire and motivate me to not let laziness and procrastination in Si stop me from doing things I want to do. Now, I have a plan for the next several years to become a therapist, and I also have many ideas of things I want to build more plans for, like writing and painting and more. Thanks to you I have hope and I'm starting to build an actual plan for my life. Fi and Si overused can make me feel pessimistic, but you're right, it's that Ne and Te we need to use to get optimistic and hopeful again, and to build lives we want. Anyways rant over but I just want to say thanks, if you see this comment Alexis!

[@Zirwoah]

Currently in the same Si overwhelmed state, and your comment was so positive and uplifting to read. I hope you have a very wonderful experience with that study trip. I'm gonna try to implement more Te in my life. What other videos would you recommend, btw? (Planning to sort my life out for 387373th time. 🤪)

[@maggieo1683]

@@Zirwoah Haha I feel it! I would definitely recommend "Goal Setting System for 2023 Goals." Says it's just about 2023, but it's one of my favorite Alexis Kingsley videos because it talks about a way to get your whole life together, and it genuinely helped me to make a plan to get it together. Sometimes I go back and watch that video again when I need motivation. That, and her original deep dive INFP video, "Are you SURE you're an INFP- the dreamy idealist?" If you haven't seen that one, it's another one of my motivating favorites. And then I'd recommend some of her recent plans your life videos, such as "how to design your life" or "How To Manage Your Time- The 60% Calendar System." Hope this helps, and I wish you luck in your goals!

[@Dolphin369]

I’m an INFP and this is so insightful…thank you. I am a new subscriber. Have not come across such depth before Si is like my wounded child, I got like that for a long while recently. And one issue was I wasn’t creating / acting on anything, I was losing my mojo I used to be a designer and my Te was extremely strong then. I look back and it was sublime at times. It was high heights, creating visions and manifesting them. Makes sense now that I understand the power of Fi & Te in harmony. Now I’m retraining as a psychotherapist and it allows me to indulge in my Fi so much I love it! But I got too naval-gazing and stuck in the past. Everything was happening inside and got out of balance. Only now I’m finding a new equilibrium. Developing my practice as a therapist, and a way of living that practices my values, strengthening my Te again Really excited where this takes me. Feels very synchronistic to come across this material now as I’m bringing my Ne back online. Only the other day I was thinking about how my inner parent is in the driving seat now, and it’s safe enough to let my inner child come out

[@sophiageorge-nj2oz]

35:05 thank you. I measured my MBTI while I was studying Psychology, I measured it again recently, I’m an INFP. I’ve let number 3 take the wheel for quite some time, after years of abusive relationships, I finally retreated, and I think I’ve been so stuck in the past, with such intense feelings, I haven’t moved. So glad I found your channel. Xxxx

[@zachscully]

Excellent insights on why and how as an INFP I was pushed into being stuck from primary Fi improving the world. Affirming that all my random secondary function Ne loves (ethics, maps, languages, philosophy, meditation, Star Trek, fantasy, song lyrics…) are on a right track! That my child-like auxiliary Ne needs to be the real parent to keep the secretly stuck-in-the-mud third/tertiary Si ‘problem teen’ in check is mind-blowing. Actually playing with to choose and refine a time- and task- management system from quaternary/inferior Te so I can begin to write and learn more efficiently and own my masteries makes sense! (My using math and spreadsheets to create personalized reward systems that work for me in spurring daily progress across various apps to reach stretch goals tells me I have already been embracing extroverted thinking / real-world logic in an INFP way, decades after being thrust into early development of all functions by demanding family, education, and work environments.)

[@allainefria4589]

Thank you Alexis for this... why am I crying right now

[@irisout7463]

I think one thing that separates the extroverted judging functions to introverted judging functions is having obligations to others (Fe and Te) vs obligations to self (Fi and Ti). Especially when I think of Fe I think of being respectful (for the sake of it), family (for the sake of it), manners (for the sake of it). For Te I think of responsibility in relation to time, I find that a lot of Te users put themselves into what they do more than figuring out who they are. At least from an Fi perspective it feels really frustrating at times. I know for me personally I have this concept of what I call “the boy with a hollow voice” where there’s this boy character who just spews meaningless words, who doesn’t stand true for what they believe in and just fills the cracks. I try really hard not to be the boy.

i deeply appreciate that someone like you is in this world. It's like unexpectedly finding a rare gem that shines and radiates in a manner i've never seen before. I moved to the South from the NE 7 yrs ago and have grown so accustomed to the hypocricy, insincere niceness and apathetic indifference prevalent in my area, i was beginning to believe people everywhere had become non supportive and having ill will towards one another. Thank you for dispelling that belief before it took full form within me. Your insights and work-arounds for potential pitfalls of my INFP type that you offer prove very helpful.. But what really made my eyes tear was your non judgemental manner and a sincere vibe that you want everyone to succeed in themselves and their lives. It pulled on all my heartstrings and it's likely that INFP's possess more than most others. :)

Relating to extroverted intuition, I have really enjoyed fantastical stories grounded on reality lately. Philip Pullman, Haruki Murakami. Moreover, my line manager has encouraged me to present publicly which I have really enjoyed and has really expanded my consciousness. I’ve been told I’m good at it and has led to personal growth. Albeit in my late 50’s. Foremost, I have become really aware of what I don’t like. Predominately routine.

The SI i believe comes online with the cpstd trauma that was experienced - it is a sort of safety/protection place when I could not have the space to feel deeply or express the light (and dark) that I am in the world. Thank You!!! there is a lot well meaning rubbish out there - good to find this place

[@anemicmaiden]

Man this hits home….😮

[@AlphaOne2009]

You’re quite amazing! Very smart, articulate, warm, and apparently very caring. The book. Yeah, that book. I haven’t worked on it in almost a year. My passion for writing this book about something that happened to my life is stunted by my temperament. I’m not sure what to do. It was like you were speaking to me at the end of your show.

[@user-dx9my1en2d]

for me i have a sudden passionate idea for a book or a story and then after a few days im like "Nah" i had an idea for a superhero marvel film and i was excited and thought it was superb. Not too long later I just decided it was kind of boring and I wanted it to have more action and futuristic properties.

[@Zimi.M]

this touched me so deeply/. I've never felt this understood even by myself. I currenlt feel like I'm in SI 3 and need some TE. Thanks

[@CB-et6jo]

Well, you made me cry too.

[@sandycoffmansstudio731]

I have a volume of poetry that needs to be published, I need to figure out how to do a KZbin channel to share all my art and crafts and murals. So my T E gets really loud sometimes. 😂😂. Thank you for helping me understand how I tick!!

[@PositivePulse123]

Love you too. INTJ's are wonderful for us☺

[@SAGITTARlUS]

Reactions will vary. Helpful isnt always the way. Love is real, when compromise and humility stand strong beneath. Sharing isnt a sin. Strenght is foubd in the ability to remain standing in spite of gravity. The cause shapes the person, the system should bend to. There is truth is in their eyes too, not just ours. - A fellow dreamer

INTP man looking to start dating an INFP woman soon - gonna enjoy devouring this video

[@SLynn349]

I’m pushin 40 here and feel that chronological order of functions was spot on 😅

[@m2pozad]

I love INFP too. But they are not more moral than everyone else. They are complexly more concerned about their own goodness and right to exist. This inner struggle gets projected out as trying to heal the world, when in fact it is themselves they are trying to fix, and to heal, from their early childhood acquired misguided shame.

[@obidavekenobe]

If i could, i’d give this vid a thousand 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Granzteelvids]

Oh man, the projects that I've left collecting dust in the box at the corner of my house: multiple titles, ideas, character models and fully-fledged storylines.. yea pretty guilty of that Te not being utilized much

[@caseywoods7715]

I'm in a loop with my 3rd function. I'm literally in bed, online with a cat in my lap. I've been stuck in it for a while due to npd abuse. I've come a long way which I'm proud of. But it has taken years to get to this point.

[@haihai5293]

Thanks :)

HI, in your movies all the cognitive functions are probably described in the best possible way, but what is not taken into account is their order. While Ne is in fact in theory very optimistic, in case of INFPs it takes a role of being aware of consequences, so kind of hampering. It slightly differs from Ne in Hero spot (ENFPs) when it is exactly so much optimistic, as described here. As a result developed Ne used by INFPs (INTPs) is probably the best cognitive function possible, as mature Ne of INF(T)Ps combines its generic optimistic root with awareness. (Probably you describe it in other words as "underused" strength. This underusing is this pesisimistic approach to consequences, but when used regularly and developed it becomes crucial strength in every aspect)

How common is autism spectrum and/or Asperger's among this personality type? And excellent cast by the way your presentation is very comprehensive and well put. Go girl...❤

[@jaredvaughan1665]

Socionics founder Ausra shows Fe is emotions and Fi ethics of relations. But feeling is mostly contained in Si as feelings is perceptive. Ethics and logic shape values and principals. But the actual feeling cold towards somebody or something is Si.

[@laluna5548]

Is it weird that I'm an INFP with extremely strong introverted sensing? I feel all my visceral sensations very strongly and feel very connected to my body at all times.

[@pjones916]

Man, you REALLY know how to talk to INFPs!

[@jaymartinson3236]

I feel like deep down I'm an INFP... But because of my intense interest in technology and philosophy, I'm commonly typed as an INTP.

[@1kayo]

Im an INFP 4w5 I use Fi and Ne almost equally when I wanna do something And use Te less but enough to see progress and good habits and asking for advice in my projects it helped me to do 4 years progress just in a one year ..I use Si less than the others But its important to use past experience For example drawing process

[@jaredvaughan1665]

Socionics shows the 4 conscious functions are the Beebe Dominant, Auxiliary, Demon, Trickster.

[@kathyann9643]

KZbin won't allow me to link my book but it is called God's Perfect Plan. It's a children's book. I didn't get it done until I was 65 and I have a second one I am working on. It sells better in person when people can pick it up and see it so I may never sell a lot online. I try to stay motivated by visualizing the children who will read my book and benefit from it. So to other INFP's I will say don't wait until you are 65 to work on your dream but if you are older, it's never too late.

[@ryuuzumakiwolf]

I feel called out so bad, can’t move forward with any project is too real and being scared of any problems 😖

[@JeffSans]

I was here
