- When you meet an INFP, they may not initially share much about themselves. This can make typing and understanding an INFP difficult. But if you can learn to read their body language, you can come to understand the INFP better.
INFPs process what they have to say carefully. They see deep nuances in things and they try hard to be honest and real with what they say and do. This means INFPs can appear secretive, guarded, and overly cautious at times. They may not share a lot verbally, but they do have many subtle cues. There many INFP signs and tells in their smiles and their expressions.

Oh no. You should see an infp inside his bedroom. They dance around like a possessed alien.
true :o
I’m an infp and yea this is accurate 🤣 I’m always dancing around my house but in public and so compressed and graceful
I feel personally attacked.
I thought it's only me. HAHAHA.
😂yes, very true...
INFP zone out.... ALOT
Hell yeah its because we are emotionally intense people that find it hard to explain anything so we just use our emotions to live but when a situation gets bad and we feel something that is worth protecting and fighting we are not zoned out theb
I zoned out within five minutes of the video.
As an INFP it can be socially awkward. Sometimes when I am in a deep conversation the other person will look where I am looking as my gaze into the distance is so intense, they think there is something there 😊
As a fellow Infp, I think we all need a group chat to share our insights and ideas, our creativity, passion, being an observer doesn't feel lonely, but not being a part of a group, at later times after we're done with our day dreaming can feel often lonely.
I think too
I often got scolded for never making eye contact and having wandering eyes and i never really thought about why but this makes so much sense 💀
One of my earliest grade school memories is being chewed out for "rolling my eyes" at a teacher's aide... Like... I was just looking around/thinking...
Me too. Also, the open mouth thing when listening to someone. I have done that a lot and used to be told off at school for "drifting away" with my mouth open and eyes on the walls.
Same
@@elisereid5101 im a male infp and understand fully the struggle but be careful in life ppl do take advantage of us infps and I myself is in a deep depression over being hurt in the past and the worst part is living the hermit life of anti socialism
@@elisereid5101 I also have been told about me having my mouth open
I move my eyes a lot but I also move my body a lot . I speak with my whole body because I’m not very good with spoken words
I dont speak w/ my whole body but my hands and posture. Ppl dont look me in the eyes usually when I talk, and even then they don't look deeply or pay attention enough to see the emotion in them, so I tend to not use my eyes to speak.
It’s so freaking weird to learn such seemingly personal things about yourself from someone you’ve never met. You nail every detail so perfectly that I sometimes wonder if I have any individuality left at all. Ha ha - of course, we all do. Thank you for being such a wonderful mirror and for another great infp video!
Clorox Bleach Although I am quite independent and self-reliant, I don’t think individuals are more important than society, if that’s what you mean. Individualism is a puzzling philosophy to me since one can’t exist without the other, so I’d argue they’re one in the same. I guess being an INFP I’m always looking at both the details and the big picture and thus feel they’re equally as important. Thanks for asking & making me look it up!
Omg I always thought it was just me. I always had a problem looking at people directly in the eyes. I either tend to zone out a lot or look around when I'm talking to someone. My best friend says I have this look like I'm analyzing people when I'm actually not. I just trying to understand them. Didn't know it's an actual INFP thing.
My 8th grade history teacher gave me the nickname "eye roller". I literally had to go to her after class one day and explain that that was just the way I thought, that I wasn't being disrespectful 😂😂
I was almost made redundant from this one job because of that. I was making mental notes while being given a set of instructions and my supervisor got all up a height because he thought I was being disrespectful.
Anyone else find themselves making funny faces while watching this video? 🤪😲😳
Yeah.
I knooow
I feel attacked
I zoned out in the comment section what this guy talking about agajn
yeea xD
Not even a minute in and '...clouding the eyes in darkness.'
*turns My Chemical Romance on full volume*
*brushes back emo haircut*
*puts on dark clothes and leather bracelets*
*IT'S NOT A PHASE, MOM!(TM)*
Omg now I know why they say INFPs are my perfect match in life lol
Hello darkness, my friend
I have no idea what you’re talking about lol 😂
When people look around like you are describing, not really looking at anything with their eyes, it is because they are searching their memory.
That’s why teachers hated me so much. I get it now.
I completely do the eye thing but never really thought about it in particular. It's funny though
yeah. I just realized this when i'm in school or simply just outside
You speak so beautifully. You're not in a hurry and your language is so rich.
spot on!! just starting to understand why I'm so different from most people. I wish I'd understood this years ago. as an infp.. I've always felt like an observer and not really apart of people. thanks for the great info.
Same here
I’ve been bursting out laughing throughout this because this is seriously so spot on. it’s crazy to me how you can pick apart gestures like that!! (specific to infps or judgers&perceivers)
crazy isn't it how many patterns there are between different types
Does anyone else pace the floor when they're thinking?
shahrazade26 yup, and sometimes like to lay on the floor or prop my legs up in a weird position, hang upside down on my bed lol, do some yoga poses, I can get lost in my thoughts and it helps to get into my body to process them
I do (even though I am not an INFP). ;p
YESSSSS
Yes!!!
@@minervafelican6180 Are you INFP?
INFP's process information and think while they are looking around because it's looking around that helps them process all of the various thoughts that are coming from various directions in their mind. The mind is made out of many parts, and looking left to right will result in garnering a different answer than looking right to left. Looking around and up at the ceiling will result in a different set of thoughts than looking down at the floor, looking out of a window will result in another different set of thoughts, it's the looking around that stimulates all of the different sets of thoughts. If I were to just stare only straight ahead, I would become stuck on one set of thoughts/only 1 perspective and it would be boring to me to be stuck on those thoughts only. I am trying to find and create and gather a variety of thoughts from different directions in my head, and this gathering process does require that I look around in all different directions. Thus, if I was to only look straight ahead at the person in front of me, I wold not be able to give them a full answer that has been well thought out and well considered, it would instead be a flat, non-thought out answer, right off the top of my head without any considerations; it would need to only be a practical question that has an answer that requires no thinking. So do not take it 'personally' if you ask an INFP a question and they look in different directions; in fact, they are VERY involved in answering your question because they care a lot; if they DID NOT care, then they wouldn't be looking around; it's looking around that enables them to give you the best answer.
I need more INFPs in my life
Hi I'm jordon nice to meet you 🙂
@@jordonsmale7850 hi
How is your day going?
@@jordonsmale7850 I'm on a chat right now
I am an INFP and I did a few videos recently and noticed how much my eyes were darting. It was strange. Mainly when I was talking, but I had a psychiatrist ask me if I was seeing things. Which I wasn’t, I was thinking, but he told me my eyes were focused on something else in the room. Which was also really weird, I was not having hallucinations. Lol.
Although another comment talked about memory and memory is something that I have to deal with either things I want to forget or things I am trying to remember.
Psyciantrist are all quacks don't trust a word they say.
This is so great! I’m an INFP and oh my yes! I have been trying to make myself more aware of how many different ways my actions can be perceived. And knowing that no one can read my mind. It’s like “keep your feet on the ground when your heads in the cloud.”
Thank you! All of these are so true of me as an INFP. People comment to me that my facial expressions show so much and sometimes it surprises me when they say that because I do attempt to keep how I feel mostly to myself if my feelings are strongly negative. I found that you provided a lot of information and now I can look for that in others as well. I am sure it will help me to understand them and myself as well. Love that part about how an INFP looks into space off to one side when they are trying to understand and grasp something. So true!
I spent the video thinking: oh yeah! I do that, and that, and that...😊 Very interesting!
I feel like, now that I know, I will inadvertently attempt to stop my gestures from people.
I'm super fidgety, nail biting, nervous energy, etc. I also find eye contact really uncomfortable, so I get wandering eyes all the time, even if it's just a quick look off to the side during a conversation before coming back to focus on the person talking.
This video has finally solved the riddle for me! A lot of generalizations are made about both types, but his way of explaining the idealism from each perspective has solved the riddle of whether I am an INFJ or an INFP.
I can very directly relate to the 49% 51% flip-flop between J and P on every test I've taken, and there have been many.
I am a heart on my sleeve, open book, who loves analyzing other people and inferring things about their lives based on their behaviors. I really love reading people and counseling them on how to seek greater joy and fulfillment in their own personal lives. I also loathe talking on the phone, tend to be more reclusive, get anxious when people speak to me, and generally wish I was invisible most of the time.
I'm a huge list maker and want everything to be perfect and planned, but ultimately I never find the time to actually get it all organized and put into practice.
I am also a confident and gifted vocalist and love stage performing. I however do not usually know what to do with my body when I'm on stage and tend to have a more reserved demeanor by nature.
I give wholeheartedly without expecting anything back, and am not big on social media or fancy things. I'm scatterbrained and forgetful, a little eccentric and pretty much all over the place in my interests.
Confidently Complex. But at least I know which INF type I am with pretty solid certainty! Thanks!!
Me is you. You are me. Us is we.
Dude I'm not exaggerating. If we met in real life we might just ignore each other cause it will be like a mirror
Check out he cognitive functions because INFP and INFJ share none. INFPs have a much better sense of self thanks to Fi whereas INFJs take on other peoples moods thanks to Fe. If you like the journey more than the destination you are an INFP. If you have any idea of where you are going you are an INFJ. Ne parent makes INFPs extremely poor at making decisions because there are just so many options and each is new and shiny. Don't think about being close on P and J, these types are so different I can't understand why people get confused.
ok so they're cute all the time
Than you.
You're cute too :)
awie
Thank you ☺️✨
Commenting again. This is legit brilliance
Thanks Melissa!
You're such a beautiful person, I love your mind, and I love your videos! Thank you for all that you do Erik!
I can nearly always pick and INFP by the way their eyes move around. I am an INFP and I don't think I do anything very gracefully🤣🤣
Does anyone else like to feel like they aren’t really part of the world? Or like stepping back to look at people is better than becoming socially attached to all the other people in the world?
I love you're infp videos. You are always spot on😆👍
INFP here! This is super interesting
Wow! Managing sensitivities - it can be done with authenticity! Cheers to you for verbalizing this!
the thing about the hand gesture of judgers and perciever is so true
even if it isn't about talking
my mom (an entj) always tells me "god created humans with two hands for a reason. now put that bowl you're tryna balance down, do the work with both hands then go back to your bowl" but I always think that as long as I have 10 fingers then I could manage doing 10 things... of course mom is more efficient, but I'm more widespread (she told me that herself! :D that I learn too many things and that I know more than her but I'm a bit messy- in her defence, she said, she finds everyone messy)
Legit I'd pick up the ironing board, the iron, a towel and a spray bottle and a jug. And then I'd drop off the jug in the kitchen, then notice its dirty and ' quickly' wipe the counters. THEN, I would drop the iron and towel and spray bottle, but that's after I picked up some itegr thing that's stays in that space along the way
Goodness me, you're good at this! Although as an INFP I feel I'm an Elf. It's possible I haven't yet come to accept my fairy nature though :)
4:00- When INFP's drop their jaw in surprise while they are listening to new information that someone is saying, this suddenly reminded me of an image I had seen a long time ago, of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp, INFP) as he was looking askance at someone else and listening to them with his dropped jaw. So I googled him and it was the first image that I saw of him, just as I recalled it. He is a perfect example of the dropped jaw look.
WOW ‼️❤️ thank you! Your videos are invaluable ‼️🤩 I now understand why I CANT lie, even white lies and it has made me feel so awkward and weird! I am so looking forward to processing all of this wonderful information and becoming my authentic self while still being loving, kind and compassion 🙏🏻 sometime I feel so misunderstood and alone that I tend to get angry and cold! I’m working on it!!!! Thank you again! I appreciate you!!!!! I feel ready to stand strong and shine my 💡‼️❤️
I think you have me spot on the eye moving so accurately!!
Crazily accurate! 🤣 It feels like an out of body experience to hear this information and match it to all my mannerisms. That there are such logical explanations as to why, it makes me appreciate it even more!
Thank you for putting your time into making these videos! This one was fascinating and enlightening as always!
Second one, i'm an INFJ!!! Thank you so much, i really enjoy all of your videos 💖👌
you know, sometimes I really do look at the world as such a strange place the more I see it
straight off the bat youre coming out with the information, awesome stuff learning things about myself through your videos
I am an INFP and you are so spot on... I've just subscribed to you!!! ❤️
My boyfriend knows I'm going to have a mental/emotional hiccup before I do myself.
He says he can tell because of my chin. My chin?!
What astute observations that I have not heard before. Thank you so much!
I like that you correlated the gestures to the functions and they’re so true. I do pretty much everything you said and the darting eyes often make me zone out like others said here in the comments. Great perspective!
Learning from you has always been a great! Thank you for this video on INFP'S.
Another FANTASTIC VIDEO! Thank you. 👍❤
INFPs are like Owls
I am very INFP. Thank you for the extra insight.
I cannot thank you enough for your videos, you have really helped me understand myself better (INFP)
I genuinely appreciate the insights you shared in this video.
Thanks Chris! :)
Thank you for this, so interesting!
Great observations.
That searching Ne eye movement is so distinctive.
Thanks so much for the interesting and informative video! Fascinating indeed. Will have to watch it again!
I’m an infp and this is so accurate and it makes sense why I got into and was instantly good at gloving. Gloving is this art form of led gloves and learning flowing and tutting movements to create shapes and movements in different grids etc, to create this cool trippy result to the viewer. Back in my music festival days I one day just tried it out and was instantly great at it and pursued it as a hobby for a few years after
It's amazing how well body language correlates. I've gotten good at seeing Ne eyes, and it's hilarious because you then watch the gesticulations, bouncy vocal tone, and what you know about the person anyway was leaning in the NP direction. My parents always criticize and praise certain traits that made my think I was an ISTJ, so when I get excited and imaginitive I wasn't sure how much I was just adapting for a lack of extroversion. I'm at a point now that my parents see me through what's familiar with them--their practical personalities and upbringing, and my reserved childhood--and that if I feel excitable and emotive, then my opinion of myself is more accurate. I eventually, for curiosity, filmed myself and noticed really obvious Ne eyes. For some reason that confirmation carries so much sentiment for me (I had been back and forth on whether I was a TJ with developed Fi or an FP with developed Te because of how I was raised)
This is very helpful to me, to be able to find friends who I can relate to! When you became an extrovert I thought you had changed your entire personality, it sure looked like it- it was scary.
Thank you so much for these informative videos.
I truly enjoyed and learned a lot from this discussion and demonstration of body language in INSP people. So much of communication is nonverbal but there is so little time and effort spent on teaching this aspect that it gets lost in the avalanche of behavioral data contained in the simplest and shortest interaction between people. When we learn to integrate verbal and nonverbal data we get more and more complete messages from each other and our overall understanding of each other is enhanced. Thank you for modeling these techniques and communication patterns.
Oops- if you look at the title of the video, this one in specific is actually about infp's. If what you wanna look into are insp's I'd look in their channel maybe you'll find it/they have one as well :)
Very impressing and perceptive :)
WOW! I came to realize that I actually listen to people with my mouth slightly open, and I only close my mouth when I am completely convinced that I understand or believe what is being said hahahah this video was actually pretty good
Erik your observations are truly fascinating and helpful!! For instance your vid about what really irritates ESTJs and why they look constantly jilted, well it made sense to me...so I can now accommodate (understand my mother) a little better :) You're really cool ❤
Most people I meet absolutely should be met with uncertainty and disbelief!!!
Woah. I was watching this and wondering do I really do all of this? Then I looked back at some vids I did on spiritual talks and you’re so right! The hands. The finger movements. The jaw movements and eye shifting! The shift of agreeable to resistance expression. And you’re so right about when we’re in flow or stressed. The gestures move from inwards to outwards and become more pronounced. It’s like you’ve mirrored me. And it feels strange. In addition, in fellow infp and myself we tend to look at our nails when in conversation. Well pick at them and then realise we need to focus
That part about the eyes darting around at 3:00 is so accurate it’s crazy. I was just watching this Live Photo that my cousin took of me for a photo shoot for my LinkedIn. And my eyes are farting around SO MUCH in that 1.5 seconds. I’m looking at it thinking, I look so far away. I wonder if that is an INFP thing. Lo and behold, it is! It is so cool to be on this MBTI journey, literally so enlightening.
On point!
Very good
11:20 to 11:40 BRILLIANT!
I recognise these!
N eyes (specially NP wandering visionary eyes) are one of the biggest tells.
Ps "enough babbling"?! 😮 Never!! 😊
bruh
i wasnt sure what this was gonna be like but you just like , called me out?, DJJDDJD i really do this stuff hhhhh and usually i have to think about things and figure out if i actually Do them but you mentioned so many things that ive noticed in myself already???? wild
wooooww as an INFP i am soo impressed wow
I LOVE your videos!!! I am just starting to study my personality type, INFP, and it’s uncanny how you describe me to a T! I am always questioning everything I hear, is that really true? This greatly offends my husband, he takes it personally like I don’t respect his intelligence. It is amazing to me to learn that so many weird things I do are actually part of my personality type. I wish he could understand this. I also wish I could know his personality type, to understand him better, but he doesn’t share this interest with me. Anyway, thank you for making these videos, they are helping me a lot!
all right you got me
I'm an infp, but i can't relate to other people's problems regarding money and relationships and politics. I'm naive lol
I see those big doe eyes and I know immediately I've seen an xNFP
wow extremely interesting
First viewer. I am INFP!!
On basis of how many INFP individuals did you come to this observations/conclusions?
Yay! INFPs are the best! :)
Thank you :)
Infp male because I'm a boss
Yep.... Revolutionizing the stereotype, 1 ENJ at a time. Let's get it!!
Hahahah love this ❤️
Lol
Craig Szymanski you sure are
Hilarious to me that while I'm watching the part about INFPs tending to sort of relax their jaw when they are trying to take in information and discern if it's true or not, I'm doing that exact thing. xD I do it a lot too--I even remember being around 10-years-old or so when I realized how much I was letting my mouth hang open when observing the world around me, and had to start consciously making an effort to keep my mouth closed in public. lol!
Truth is hard to take sometimes.
I do that neck thing while driving for sure
If I talk to anyone for more than 5 min I start looking around like that lol.
I was told to do this so...
Nice comment.
My youtube transcriptor writes this: "ION OF PEACE" when you say "INFPs". The reason our eyes tend to remain unfocused is because to pass from FI of feelings along the bridge and out towards NE requires a good dose of hope and bravery, bravado and creativity, and the lack of the ability to see (uncertainty) what are the possibilities that lie ahead.
The automatic translation said that, I decided to leave it in 😂
@@ErikThor I love it!! So great!!
2:49-3:17 nailed it!!!
INFP guarded and cold = chin down, eyes up in a scowl, if you're asking me... an INFP...
This is Soo relatable xDDDDD
How to know wich enegram weertype of InFp-T you are?
did you say u were a TJ type or are you giving TJ as an example?
I love his eyes. It sucks you in.
I want an INFP girlfriend 😢😍
Can infps relate to AI?
get out of my head
I've been up for 51 hours because it's hot as hell! It's about 60 degrees, and my sister made me take out the AC. It sucks because the AC served a disk purpose, it kept me cool, and it blocked out all the noise from the outside. I can't stand anything over 45 degrees. I have to go to the Astral realm and have a chat with mother nature, and tell her to get back on schedule!

Sleep is important too you know:)
thanks lol
