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.

As an infp and psychologist I know my type very well but this video really is one of the very best I have ever seen on it

Came here to say this! As an INFP art therapist who has a slight obsession with the MBTi, this was the most helpful thing I’ve seen so far in understanding my type and optimizing the cognitive functions

This video is really good and you explain things better and nuanced than most of the other personalitytype tubers. Thank you

[@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.

[@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!

[@dotadotadotaaaa2735]

*_Personally:_* 1. *We are a very unique stack.* As you mentioned, with *introverted feeling* together with *extroverted intuition*, we are very much shaped by our past (*introverted sensing*). 1.5. *Imagine not having the best upbringing* _(in my case, a foster home filled with strong, sensing, thinking, judging types)_ Every bad experience an INFP goes through, they vividly experience with their *introverted sensing* together with their *introverted feeling* . It’s kind of no joke to say that we relive these moments as if they happened today, every day, until we learn to let them go. What makes it even harder to let go is our *extroverted intuition* , that constantly reminds us of millions of possible ways this could happen again, the things that we experience vividly every day. **Solution:** - In my case, it was *Zen meditation*. What you practice is to stop thinking and start acting, or not acting; just not thinking, is something you practice by not allowing a single thought to pass through your mind. Just like you don’t get biceps and abs like the rock over a day, your thoughts will not be controlled over a day. But it truly helps turning off when the *introverted sensing* and the *extroverted intuition* start to glitch in your head. 2. **External inspiration:** Having an *INTJ brother* and an *INFJ friend* truly helped me improve my *extroverted thinking*. What would make an INFP actually take action is if it is for the sake of someone else. The combination of being able to process feelings and seeing patterns, we love to solve complex problems. We can see a problem before someone even knows it is a problem. We truly rely on having a partner or someone to die for to spark up that initiation because we would not hesitate to plan and take action if it was that we could see our pain in someone else. 2.5. Having an *INTJ brother* Who could easily break down my complex thoughts, and help me see things such as: “the work you put down on making music usually requires a group of 10 people but you’re doing it alone, you have to realize that you have a great talent that would truly shine if you had a group of people who helped you finish the song; or let’s say you were one part of the processes, then all your projects would also be finished. You’re putting a lot of weight on your shoulders and should consider grouping up with people where you together work on projects instead.” - It made me realize that I had put a lot of stress and expectations on myself that weren’t realistic. **Conclusion:** - We seem to be depressed and hopeless cases. What makes it more sad is the talent we possess but it’s never seen by the public eye. The amazing partners we are but sometimes never become. - We are filled with surprises where you could expect one thing, but then get something you’d never expect to find. They say it might take 20 years, but that’s all it takes and we would be millionaires having a family and the dream partner and dream life. It simply takes a lot of time, you could call us underdogs. Nice guys finish last, but they finish the best. Definitely the kind of personality you would point to and say “he will stay a loser for the rest of his life… He’ll never change…” Maybe I didn’t get $1 million or a wife or a family, but I became a *zen master* who transcended all the materialistic things you could ask for in this life. You truly never know what an INFP is going to end up as, it definitely does not look good, but it definitely will be. **What I love about being an INFP:** - Seeing and understanding things way before even I myself know why. It’s not intuition, but that *Ne + Si*. And most of all is my vivid inner imagination; I can see my movie, and I can hear my music and see my pictures as vividly as if it was already done. Just going to school for all of them takes time and not having any functions to execute makes it kind of frustrating, of course. My dream is to one day be able to express everything that’s going on inside of my head, and I hope artificial intelligence can help us do that. My greatest wish before I die is to see artificial intelligence progress so far that INFPs will see their light of day. *Text-to-INFP = INFPs will become the new master race, real Alphas.* 😂♥️

[@chowell1451]

I had an extremely rough upbringing, honestly too hard to summarize in a sentence. I thank god I was blessed with the size and passion to play football. If it wasn’t for sports I honestly don’t even want to imagine where I would be right now because I still struggle.

[@menditwithmallory]

The best part of you becoming a zen master is that you’re closest to your god consciousness and can create that 1+Million and wife in a short period of time! I do that’s a big part of being an INFP how connected you can be to spirituality/the truth. Kurt Cobain (drugs messed him up also his perfectionistic artistic ways) was INFP and very spiritual “All in all is all we are.” 👁️❤️

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@t.r.w.7778]

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

[@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.

[@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!

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.)

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!

[@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.

[@tracyamie]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping us INFP's better understand ourselves. This video was excellent. Your discussion of the Si function was extremely helpful. For the first time ever, I think I kind of get how I use that function and how I might be able to use it in more positive ways. Thanks again, so much. 💜

I lit just had a therapy session a few hours ago and it brought me here. I have always kind of known that these types of videos would help change my life for the better but I've been so stuck in the mindset that "I'm stuck" or "My life will never change" bs. My fear of failure is keeping me contained, I have put out my music for years and it has gotten me to a good place BUT I know I have been playing safe. I haven't been putting a lot of effort into advertising myself, it makes me so uncomfortable but I am taking this advice to heart. I hope I will truly feel like life is worth living once I take this into action!

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.

Hi Alexis, just wanted to stop by and tell you, I found this as the single most helpful video with regards to understanding myself better. And I'm here watching it for the 3rd time already. Thank you!

[@nathanielmwhite]

INFP here, I’m 35, no college degree, and haven’t gotten to really do all the things I’ve dreamt of doing, just in short bursts (for a short season I would play my music at open mics, but never got to record an album, which I would still love to do). And there’s that irony of wanting to do only what I want but because of Si ruts I end up confined to doing what I don’t enjoy, working a job that’s unfulfilling (and requires a lot of stressful overstimulating Te work). I occasionally get into a Te grip and start earnestly studying music theory or learning Japanese or whatever it is, but then a week later I slide back into comfortable routine while all these half-written notebook entries and 1% started projects are discarded never to be revisited. When I pulled up this video I skipped directly to the weak functions because I want to crack the code on becoming an accomplished (my Fi hates that word, it sounds so arrogant) and actually achieve the things I’ve valued but haven’t done. I also watched a Matt Sherman / Geek Psychology video this week where his advice was that action precedes motivation, you need your Te to get the bicycle pedals going and then you will see a flood of Ne motivation taking the wheel (er, handlebars) and you can start to really explore possibilities and bring them to fruition. Thanks for your content, I like that it’s a data dump but easy to follow and practical. Being an INFP can either feel like a blessing one day (“I’m unique!”) or a curse the next day (“I have no follow through!”), but I think it’s one of the types that has the most potential for growth but only if that word potential doesn’t remain static (I’m reminded of that quote in Spider-Man 2 where Otto calls Peter [an INFP] “brilliant but lazy”). My dream/goal is to find a vocation that is fulfilling and satisfies my need to influence that world in a positive way through calm petition and not the striving of competition. Keep making awesome videos!

Excellent excellent video ! Especially the idea of Ne leading the Si❤️

[@dylanblackham9859]

Wow you nailed it, 10/10🎉 amazing video

[@simonevanstaden5294]

Wow you’ve described me to a T. I’ve been feeling this intensely a lot, how my polar opposite functions have been tugging at each other and also trying to merge my beautiful inner world and translating that to the outer world. And also just coexisting with things and people that normally challenge my personal values. As much as it’s been scary, it’s also been freeing.

[@tg_5565]

Wow, brilliant assessment. I feel seen in a profound way. This is the most clear, concise, digestible material on the infp perspective I have ever seen and I’ve seen a ton of stuff, lol. Thank you!!! Awesome work ❤

Thank you so much Alexis, this video helped me more than you could ever know... I've been so in need of greater understanding and you brought everything I would need to comprehend myself better into this video. It's honestly helped sooo much. 🙏

As an infp, this is soooooo on point✨💯

[@amberboyd4203]

I had trouble grasping my functions until now. Thank you this video was very helpful. ❤

[@kestrel09]

Your detailed insights framed in qualities and barriers really resonate with my inner and outer world. My experiences strongly confirm what you’ve said. A wonderful, kind, and valuable lesson for me. Thank you.

[@smithy7034]

Thank you so much for this. It is so helpful. My 3rd function has been a real killjoy for way too long. Recognising this is priceless. Thanks again. Keep up your great work ❤😁👍🏻

[@shannonhering1567]

Wow! Oh you’re good! Holy cow, the way you explain things is like no other. Ever. In the history of this planet. I actually get it now! Feel a little called out…. (perfecting roughly 7 not yet written books in my head for the last 12 years) ….but now I can finally understand the tools in my toolbox! And how to use them! Thanks! I think you are my hero! Is that too much? ;)

[@seemysparkle]

🥰🥰🥰 I can feel your love for us seeping through 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I took a two-month trip out west car camping and took a ton of videos. Maybe this is my nudge to listen to that inner voice and set some goals on establishing a KZbin channel ☺️ Thank you for putting so much time and love into this for INFPs ❤️❤️❤️

[@SilviyaNinova-qr5jm]

Thank you very much for this video! Everything explained is so true! It touched me deeply, especially the last bit.

[@susanct4378]

I'm not an INFP, but this video is superb. Thank you 🎉

[@prototypex674]

Thank you soo much for making a video like this. As an INFP, this was just what I needed to realise how I can work on improving as a person. You are very sweet, keep doing what you're doing! 😊

[@SpiritMirrors]

Wow. You are a legend. This was really interesting and thorough in a very clear and captivating way. You’re a very good teacher. I also really like the visual layout of your video presentation, it’s very well organized and easy to look at while absorbing what you’re teaching 🙂

[@brownsongbird]

This was one of the best, most functional, and actually useful videos I've ever seen about INFP. thank you 😊

[@cbbaby2012]

Love your video on INFP one of the best explanations I’ve seen! INFP here

твои видео про типы личностей мои любимые, спасибо, что веришь в infp

[@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!!

Man this hits home….😮

[@user-bg1eo7lo9u]

Dear Alexis, 🫨Wow! I took MBTI 17 years ago at the Women's Center of a community college! Moved 5X/3 states & had forgotten all about it. Recently, I tried to recall, thought the result was INFJ. I found it! and discovered it to be INFP! Your video is the VERY FIRST time I understood clearly, the interrelation of the functions! I'll be watching this video over again! An intelligent, well outlined & masterful work! So very grateful to have found your channel. Subscribed! Blessings to you!

[@CB-et6jo]

Well, you made me cry too.

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@SLynn349]

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

[@enKageKagen]

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)

[@PositivePulse123]

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

[@haihai5293]

Thanks :)

[@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

[@jaredvaughan1665]

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

[@obidavekenobe]

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

[@ryuuzumakiwolf]

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

[@pjones916]

Man, you REALLY know how to talk to INFPs!

[@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

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

As an INFP, the INFP is my favourite personality type. And my least favourite. At The Same Time

[@AR-vf7vg]

Please consider strongly (at least as an exercise) , to always when talking about INFP to the probably always 97% non-INFP ; ..tell THEM about possible necessity, AS A Society, to create, integrate and garantie living and developing space, (norms !), specifically for the INFP, perhaps thuse not the almost shaming the INFP that they have to get to understand themselfs their value. Because, what is 'value', if not 'usefulness'. Or else, it is misunderstood with "become a more competent survivor". Sure, it is about leveling ourselves, but I feel (!), INFP are perhaps the only ones that are off-balanced by societal missunderstanding (least their own). ?

[@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.

[@hivicar]

"Naval gazing." Don't know about that one.

How do you get the test to check? I’ve done them and I keep getting the INFP

[@jaredvaughan1665]

An INFP that goes to Te is an Enneagram 4 going to their 3 Wing.

[@Heart.headed]

I don't know what type you've typed yourself as, but as soon as I saw the thumbnail for this vid, I immediately felt: "Finally, someone who isn't faking their eyes to appear like the type they want everyone to believe they are, but clearly absolutely are not... but noone with any weight behind their brand will say anything, cuz they don't wanna crush their whole illusion." (cough cough..I. cough cough N cauF..J..COUGH... erherm.. we're back) 🤣🤣🤣

[@user-dx9my1en2d]

im not completely sure if im an ISFP who doesnt pay attention to details around the environment and basically does nothing, or if im an INFP who confined Ne and gets tired out by it sometimes and cant remember what possibilities i thought of. im certain i use a level of Ne, so i cant be Ne blind, but im not sure. If you can could you give me your thoughts? (no pressure) Im excited about the future of AI and VR, but i havent thought about it much other then imagining if a creepy robot chases me for my entire life without being able to stop it, and if they made a Harry potter VR game. I also use more Ne when im excited or have a lot of energy, like i was thinking about how the next 'Beyond the Spiderverse' will begin. Im open to all ideas but i just dont think i always have the energy to come up with them myself e.g- I get excited thinking about all the animals, planets, stars and creatures that exist/have existed/might exist that we dont know about , and if the aliens have created something humans havent. Or if there is a planet out there with inhabitants of robots, but i never really think about MULTIPLE possibilities. I am aware that there is soo many possible things out there though. sorry if this was a long read but can som1 help

[@user-dx9my1en2d]

dont like it reply to me😅

[@gargervon8697]

If you are sure you are either ISFP or INFP and consciously aware that you use Ne (and it sounds like you are, based on your comment), you are almost certainly an INFP. Ne is #2 for an INFP, but it is only #7 for the ISFP, all the way down in the subconscious stack.

[@user-dx9my1en2d]

@@gargervon8697 ok thank you

[@amalksuresh2538]

There is an intuitive bias.So you could be an unhealthy ISFP in loop.

[@user-dx9my1en2d]

@@amalksuresh2538 maybe. i dont feel like im unhealthy though (and i rarely use ni). but i could be wrong theres also the fact that I have difficulty starting on ideas, but as soon as i come up with a few, i can come up with many. Can anyone here clarify for me that thinks that this still is? I'd like to know if im verging more towards that.
