One of my values as an infp is that I'm strongly opposed to forcing people (or being forced). That being said though, I do try to persuade people to take the test so I can, as you say, 'dissect their personality'. :p Just beware of only seeing the label, instead of the person. :) It also helps btw gaining some proficiency in typing people yourself. That way you don't even have to make people take the test anymore. (Plus, the results of the test can be inaccurate.)
what if u are infp but u dont know yourself..is that still fi..cuase idk myself..idk what my morals are..what if I think I know what my values are and who I am but I actually don't .. how do I know for sure..am I being authentic..how do I know....what If I secretly am just following what everyone else is doing..what if I secretly am a communist..how do I know??
MissesKitty umm first of all breathe calm down😌, second u know who u truly are if what u do makes u happy and u feel good, infps tend to be authentic so what makes u feel fullfilled is the answer:)), and if u dont know what ur passionate about well it’s never late to start discovering it^-^😊💜✨
I think INFPs clean to de-stress because it somehow keeps us focused while we are actually thinking about something else you know? I'm an INFP and I dont know if that makes sense but it's like if i were stressed about something someone said to me doing dishes would help so that i can think about whether i should be mad or not and i feel better after because i vented to myself in my head IDK maybe that's weird lol
@@sakineubeng6960 same here. I tried many different tests and I always get the infp. I relate to many things but I don't want to fully believe what a test says as it is completely subjective and biased on your own perception of yourself, but man, I don't see my self far from infp
Got Fi-Si looping wrong, it isn't looking for your authentic self but getting stuck in routine. Instead, it's replaying one or more bad memories over and over (Si) and dwelling on those negative emotions (Fi). INFPs break the Si hold by engaging in different experiences.
If I am really emotionally stressed out or feeling overwhelmed by issues in my life I will begin crazy cleaning mode... I find it so relieving to pressure and stress. INFP Great video!
that what happen to me when i am tierd or emotional drained, i can talk so direct that my words can really hurt others from it direct way, that when i try as hard as i can to do one thing and that just not talk, sometimes most time i prevail, but when i am drained way too much, it hard ,becuase later on when you recover you realize and start to feel the pain of others that you caused, need to be carefull everyday life is training to master the control of emotions,atleast the good side is those who know you ,know that if you sayed something it never come from a vile or malicius intend,that most time you peaceful helpful and good but i guess everyone can fall on hard moments,nobody perfect not even us the infps.
I've watched scores of videos about INFP, empaths, HSP, and many other sources of information about how to better understand myself, others, and the world as a whole. I have at times suffered from and also felt incredibly blessed by my perceptions. This brings so many things together so well. Thank you so much! Be blessed y'all 🙏
I completely agree with the being authentic part. I like looking different.. There are so many ways u can dress and show yourself I wonder why other dont take the opportunity to try it out😁
When I’m stressed or doing know what to do anymore I’ll usually redecorate my room or clean, or cut my hair, or dress up and do my makeup. This usually happens at 4 in the morning when my insomnia is getting the best of me:)
You explained the different cognitive functions better than anyone I've seen, and I've seen a LOT, lol! You didn't rattle off a bunch of letters, talk a million miles an hour, and really make it even more confusing, probably because most of them *are* INFP's, and have trouble expressing themselves verbally (me). You just make it clear, and straightforward and orderly. And yes, what everybody else said. The visuals helped tremendously! I really like that, especially since I'm fairly new in this. I totally could be your mother, *totally* lol! Everything! Crafts, changing styles every other month, even job wise. Maybe she's my long lost twin, separated at birth! 🤔 Thanks so much! Loved this! New sub. 👍🏻😁
My wife and I are fighting over her reading my messages between my guy friends complaining about her. I'm listening to your video and hear 'Undwr stress you might find yourself breeding to clean the house' Literally as I've been cleaning the house for an hour... Spooksie!
This video is way more helpful than any other video I’ve watched on functions mainly because you had a visual lol I don’t know why but just having that visual plus highlighting which one you’re talking about really helps me focus. Could be my adhd though..not really sure..(and I’m infp)
@@srvntlilly I definitely think adhd is moreso a personality thing than a mental illness. I think it also varies just as all INFPs vary, as an example. Society today wants us to fit a mold. Like waking up at a certain time. I vibe with your theory. I also have a degree in psych so I’ve thought about it a lot. Also medication is overused because of money. So many people could learn coping strategies which I’ve done for myself. I know some can struggle more than others but there are certainly people on medication when they don’t need to be. That’s my 3:30 am ramble 👍🏻
You have just described me (I've just found out I'm an INFP-T. Not sure about the differences between the T and the A, if it's even legit). I'm impressed.
Curt under stress, normally laid back - check. If extroverted thinking is the weakness, where does introverted thinking fall for the INFP, because I think a lot- my mind never shuts off - and it jumps seemingly unrelated topics and relates them- I’ll blurt something out because something triggers a memory that comes seemingly out of left field. I thought INFPs have a strong sense of self to where they know exactly who they are, but I see your point about wanting to be their most authentic self. I got INFJ first, then INFP from then on. I think it’s because I have to speak up when something isn’t right or someone is treated unfairly.
does anyone have a link or the name of a website where I can take a more accurate test to find out my personality type? since I heard the one I took isn't very accurate
Maybe the website is wrong but I see on peoples Myers Briggs videos saying that (s) stands for sensing which according to the website is wrong as there it instead says observation, also as an infp I think he might be getting us a lil mixed with infjs aka advocates, as he said we speak out and advocate for causes or people that get walked over but that’s more of an infj thing aka the advocates while instead we as infps are more centered around creativity and individuality keeping ourselves, our true selves to ourselves. Myers Briggs describes us as peace keepers aka mediators but advocators I we aren’t necessarily as that’s the infj also our last letter isn’t perceiving rather instead it’s called prospecting, aka searching I’ve come to find types with this letter more open to new unexplored stuff and ideas
I understand i get intp all the time and sometimes intj but i'm infp maybe you're enagram is different of the classic infp (9 and 4) i'm 6w5 so that's why i got T and not F (i repress emotions) and sometimes J and not P (i'm anxious)
I'm sorry I ask bcoz your experience and expertise. I don't see anything that combines maybe INTJV. Infp. You sorta kinda have to have All 16 Myers Briggs to empathize with ALL. ???;

Reading the comments... Am I the only one who doesn't clean while stressed? I mean I might do that, but usually I avoid cleaning at all cost, until it becomes necessary. I thought stress cleaning was an ISFJ thing honestly. And I have an IXFJ friend who does stuff like cleaning the bathroom to avoid doing other stuff. I actually just avoid doing anything and just feel anxious lmao
If I'm stressed or anxious I usually just sit on front of my computer doing absolutely nothing until I calm down, cleaning is usually something I do when it becomes a necessity like you
@@lunarious87 i mean yea a bat is used in sports as well but the expression “off the bat” means like ok i’m gonna “off the bat” say this - i’m gonna straight away/ immediately put this out there
Literally me. Being an infp and realizing that I force everyone who comes into my life to take the test so I can dissect their personality HAHAH
ME btw my bestie is INFJ
Omg
Dudeeee I do this too 😂😂😂

I'm obsessed with it
Whenever the world seems like a mess, I watch videos about my personality type. Helps me calm down.
Your eyes make me calm down
Wow!🤣🤣meee
It's like it's you but it's not actually you. But someone who understands
"We're passionate about being different." Authenticity is what we appreciate most about ourselves, and others!
wth this is legit me
Omgg yesss
Lil RE hahahahahha omggg sameee this made me laugh😂

Yesss.... any physical activity that doesn’t require much emotional focus like walking, jogging, swimming...
Omg you just described me, I always create a conversation in my head when I'm cleaning my house, or doing the dishes as you said.
Bro same
That is exactly why enjoy doing the dishes.
I take these tests all the time and they always say INFP and then I think they are wrong and take another, and again INFP. 😋
Hehehe, that's me 🤗😅
Yea, I took 6 or 5 tests and all of them r INFP
Wow, so it's not only me who has done that, for me no matter how many times i redo my asessment the result always comes out as infp-t
@@sakineubeng6960 same here. I tried many different tests and I always get the infp. I relate to many things but I don't want to fully believe what a test says as it is completely subjective and biased on your own perception of yourself, but man, I don't see my self far from infp
Im clearly infp but I keep getting istp on every quiz cause apparently I have ti and se
We can be some real big jerks sometimes..
We can?
comes with being human ;)
I tthink its cause we don't always know how to be honest without being too harsh or not getting our point across.
talk for yourself :-)))
@@lucvannieuwenhuyze9073 Well you're kind of being a jerk with that comment tho
Me: looking around at my messy room
Me: maybe I need to retake the test
Lol. I really felt it when he was talking about cleaning instead of doing everything else 😅
I was laughing out loud because of that. I kinda always knew how i react to certain things and what causes it but it's kinda nice to understand why

When I get stressed out and feel a strong need to wash my hands.

INFP here and I think I finally kind of understood Te inferior and how it influences my behaviour, thank you!
Thank u for ur insights. This is very real informative video that is impartial, without any bias.
I get lost in my thoughts way too much.... Said by an infp
Thank you for this really in-depth video! I think now I finally really understand how it (and also myself a little better)!

You think maybe INFP's have a propensity towards ADD, because of their getting lost in their thoughts, and so can't stay focused? I have it, too.
