PersonalityHacker.com_INFP_personality_type_adviceIn this episode Joel and Antonia dive deep into the needs and desires of the INFP personality type.

In this podcast on INFP Personality Type you’ll find:

  • Why are INFPs misunderstood?
  • The cognitive function is a mental process that helps you learn information or make decisions.
  • The 4 letter code tells you how your brain is wired. It’s like an entrance on how you learn processes.
  • Authenticity – Is a way that you (as an INFP) make your decisions which is more inclined what resonates with you the most as a person.
  • INFPs understand emotions on a whole different level.
  • Questions to ethics become very intriguing to INFPs. For example: “what determines an ethical or moral action?”
  • Authenticity is very in touch with the subjective human experience.
  • Authenticity is where we humans find conscience. Because that’s when we ask, “how do we honor people’s individuality?”
  • Oftentimes, INFPs become masters of human experience in general.
  • The ability to determine that something resonates is a maturity of the Authenticity process. As it matures, it understands that not everything they experience is the same as everyone.
  • Do INFPs truly want to be understood?
  • Nobody could be 100% understand them apart from themselves.
  • INFPs feel being marginalized and dismissed way more than being misunderstood.
  • INFPs seek validation.
  • We want to acknowledge that they have a specific type of pain based from their personality type.
  • Authenticity type should be balanced with Exploration. Exploration (the co-pilot function) is about advanced pattern recognition in the outside world – thinking behind the curtain.
  • If you want more description or definition, check out our episode “Introverted Intuition VS Extraverted Intuition”.
  • Your superpowers are developed when you learn to master your co-pilot.
  • Art is one of the places where INFPs thrive.
  • Art is a communication of feeling and INFPs simply flourish in this context. They create art that’s impactful.
  • For INFPs, they tend to recall how they felt/reacted in the past.
  • They have the ability to mirror emotions. They don’t need to mirror emotions in real time. For example, the can look at an art piece and mirror the emotion to themselves.
  • Authenticity people tend to recall how they feel/how they imagined they would feel and then instantly replicating the emotion inside them.
  • The emotional language can be transferred in long extensive periods of time.
  • In order to be authentic, you need to have a mature and vast understanding of how the world works.
  • Intent: The Darker aspect of Authenticity. INFPs tend to try to give a reason that’s combated with logic.
  • INFPs tend to defend their intent, because they see a wide array of positive and negative intent. They understand how people can easily go and slip into bad intent.
  • Healthy INFPs view everything has positive intent.
  • Being able to understand that darkness is universal and part of the human experience will help you accept yourself.
  • How to go about making a living as an INFP?
  • Getting something done can sometimes be very challenging for INFPs.
  • INFPs have the desire to make an impact and be an inspirational leader. Oftentimes, they will disregard the passion they have. Passion is extremely important.
  • Authenticity people can have the tendency to marginalize people. Make sure you do what you’re passionate with. Check in with yourself what you really want.

    Holy whoa, I 20 minutes in and this feels so right for my experience. Misunderstood always felt just a tiny bit off the me, and I couldn’t parse why. I’m actually quite good at articulating my feelings to other people–when I’m with my friends especially. I feel like they get me. They’re not emotionally stupid, ya know? They DO understand. And even Thinker and Judger types I’ve met at least get how and why I might feel a certain way if I explain it in more logical terms.
    HOWEVER, there’s a part of me that thinks, “no matter how much i reveal about myself, I still want to remain mysterious.” Maybe I’m worried that if someone knew me entirely, I’d have nothing left to offer them. No new insights, no musings, no creative advice. I’d be dull. Predictable. Normal. And that scares me more than anything. This podcast helped me realize just now: I don’t want to be understood. Not really. But I do want to be TRUSTED. I know someone else will never fully be able to comprehend what a certain feeling or experience means to ME (at least, I hope not, in a weird way) but I wish people would be content to take my word for it and trust the wisdom I have instead of challenging it at every turn and demanding that I empiracally prove what I think is valid.

    I recently took the Myers Briggs test and my result was an INFP-T. The maturity aspect to the authenticity “superpower” resonated with me. About 10 years ago, I was challenged by an in-law who said, “Just because YOU feel that way about it, doesn’t mean everyone does.” That stuck with me and was really a gift because I began exploring the different reactions to things in life between myself and others. I will continue to hone that.

    It was also helpful to hear about the mirroring emotions. I find that as I get older, that aspect can become overwhelming to the point that I can’t watch certain videos or movies. If the subject matter is an intenser trigger for my emotions than others, I won’t watch or see it. Or I have to really build myself up mentally to handle it. Part of this must stem from the mirroring of emotions.

    That being said, I don’t personally recognize the “emotional aikido” as a superpower of mine. Maybe maturity or more confidence will help that?

    Thank you for this podcast! I am off to see if you have one for my husband’s personality now. :)

    It is not possible to change your type, you can only develop your other cognitive functions and look like an inferior version of another type. However, it will not be your natural state. Besides, I recommend embracing your unique strengths instead of trying to change yourself.
