BEST explanation of the INFP I have seen to date!
😅 Indeed
This js the best vid to understand my cognitive functions! Not only it give short explanation but also how it affect infp thru real life examples.
Thanks! Glad you find it helpful :)
Out dated games! YES!!! I almost never get new consoles until they're at least 5 years old, and I mostly play older games whenever possible.
I can’t express how much I appreciate this video🥺🌟
Thanks! Glad to hear it resonated ❤️☺️
This break down of the cognitive functions was great! I love the format of explaining them followed by a bullet point break down at the end.I learned a lot of new information, especially about my TE function, which at this point has only been described as negative and stagnant. I agree with the insights here of what a matured TE looks like and while I'm not that good with data, I still know how to get technical info outside of me and rely on those who do know how.
This is seriously accurate. Wow. I've never felt so seen.
I guess I have developed my Te then! This is really accurate to the point that it is scary and amazing at the same time. I can relate to how I process information with this and it's cool. Also, yep, I play simple games too, not the games that my generation is playing right now. But I do try to explore them too cause why not. (Hard though since there are a lot of buttons and stuff, I normally stop playing for some time). And I am a keeper of mementos too which is kind of problematic cause I don't know where to keep them if they get stacked up. Anyway pretty accurate.
"INFPs are walking library of memories"
me, an INFP: but i have selective memory. it's like i have the similar amnesia thing with dory in finding nemo. i forget everything unless it impacts or affects me deeply.
"INFPs are the epitome of nostalgia"
me, an INFP: this is so accurate! i collect a lot of stuff that is either cute or meaningful. my collection just grows and grows without me realizing, and it frustrates me because i run out of space to store them. 😭
"wears the same clothes, never rearranges their desks, not a fan of replacing their properties unless broken or worn out, always buys their childhood fav snacks, orders the same menu"
SO TRUE 😭
Accurate and succinct, I even learned something, darn that slow Si learner thing lol
Now that I am much older, I have learned coping skills with my Fi (becoming assertive over turbulent) and rarely undertake any task without thorough research (love the "how to" stuff it saves time and effort). If you cannot convince me of the logic of a situation or scenario I will dismiss your opinions quickly, but if you make even a little sense I will research further to see if the facts hold up.
When you tell me that a device with 3-600 micron aperture's will stop a particle of 150 microns nothing you say after that will matter to me, so make sure your information is correct before you engage in parroting logical fallibilities. Specious and arbitrary comments and non sequitur's, are quickly spotted by this INFP, who through a voracious appetite of gaining information can quickly discern both a person who is obviously prevaricating and illogical inconsistencies. Narcissistic gas-lighter's are as easy to spot as a neon sign in the desert at night.
Thank you. As an elder and now single INFP it's extremely difficult for me to sense the need to explain myself and I finally just don't and I stay an enigma to most people around me. It feels so validating to hear me reflected here. ... Secondly, I hope this video is your voice or at least a human voice. It's impossible to listen to and take seriously voices that obviously are bots. Thank you!
I resonate with your comment. I find myself wanting to explain myself to others, but the words don't come out easily. I'm also happy we can find others who share similar experiences on this platform.
right? Me too, lots of love Annie♥️
Welcome to the world of INFPs😍
I truly Hope you can find happiness in the small things and I hope you can get moving on from you’re past traumas 🌺
@@unbiasedunlikeu4741 Thank you!
Oh wow, she got me at old habits at 5:20. The old clothes, unrearranged desks, and old video games and snacks, they're all true. I looooooove the 80s Konami Super Contra Nintendo video games.
Darn it!!! Are we that obvious?
5 to 10 years was incorrect. More like 10 to 20 years old. I have a game I love to play that runs on windows 98
I just want to say thank you for this video as it really helped me a lot. I'm at a point in my life where I am unsure with what I want to do and what I need to do. This video helped me realized that I have my own way of doing things and I should have more faith in myself and in how my mind works. Thank you very much!!
I love this! Now I understand myself more 😊💗
Being an INFP, I had no idea somebody could explain me so well publicly. 🤓
I felt a bit attacked since im literally wearing a top i had since i was like 14 (im 21 rn) and this morning i was thinking of buying these banana candies i got at the bakery when i was younger😅 this is too accurate lmao
rather than new, it's helps understand why I behave in a certain way. I love the mentor part purely because I had quite a few times where I was a mentor myself
I understood all my functions! Normally there is the stereotype that infp is a sea of tears, since there is much more than tears, each function helped me to better understand each aspect of my mind and why I behave in a certain way (sorry if something is not well written my native language is not english). ☺️
As an INFP I fully agree with this!
me too
As an infp i always feels like theres like 4 people in my body but idk why it happens so when i learned about mbti and searched deeper and deeper i finally found this epic video thats literally explained everything. Thx.
I had the exact same problem man glad to hear MBTI helped you just like it did for me.
Exactly like it's so confusing and you keep overthinking & turning to anxiety now i get why google described infps the hardest personality type😂
@@mikahlopez so true
Amazing explanation. I'm embracing being an INFP ❤
Is this primarily an INFP channel? Coz I wish you could more videos like this about the other types... It's explained so clearly
Is a like she just gave a snapshot of my entire life wow the accuracy is pinpoint
I was able to understand myself more because of this video. Thank you. 😊
The presentation of information in this video is so good, there are other videos about functions in UA-cam i didn't get, but this one is like butter so smooth
This is a good explanation's video. I think currently i do empowering the last cognitive function since we have to adapt to the reality and it's not a bad feeling at all. When we learn about reality and try to adapt, the more we learn what the world is and how became more humane than others. Anyway like this video😘
Such a great explanation. One of the best if not the best vid I saw on my cognitive functions in recent times.
i feel so safe in this comment section man. knowing there are people like me out there :)
Lol This was really well done, Thank you for making this!
This is the best I’ve watched, heard it read so far.
it's really useful and easy to understand! thank you a million🧡
Thank you. This was very well explained 💛
Well done❤
Great explaining, Thanks!! Very helpfull.
Thank you. This is very well explained and amazingly accurate. #teamINFP
Epitome of nostalgia! That pretty much sums up my emotional state most of the time 😅
awesome!!!
This channel is great!
Woww such a mind blowing. Everything is so truee! Especially games. I do play and still enjoy playing the games I used to play when I was younger 😂
Such a reaffirming video! thank you. as an infp I always question my personality type, and when I've started learning about cognitivie functions, with a really loose idea about them, I thought that I might not actually be an infp. but when I heard this great explanation I actually really related to all the things said. of course, in awhile, I again, will be uncertain about my type.
I really don't know why I do that...
thank you so much!
I loved this video! So cute.
Thank you so much! for sharing this amazing information about INFP's Cognitive Function. That was a great visual presentation. Keep it up!
For me my Si doesn’t make me old-fashioned, but I am somewhat sentimental, have a fairly good memory and am good at being organized.
Strong TE!
Best video on infp 😢
Are you sure you want in? Its a dark place with colorful rainbows, magic, and also monsters and demons! And i seen that, trying to be slick! Just cause I don't say anything... And i skip away in a perfect world! And are you ready for analogies??
They're never ready for the analogies...
This is great explanation and breakdown about INFP I guest you can make one for INTP
Guys this shit can be exhausting now add being an empath it’s so draining!!
This video helped me a lot, thank you
Can you do an infj
fantastic stuff! What software did you use to make these animations?
could you explain other personalities as good as you did with INFPs?
I am infp, and I am still using my old bag for 11 years
As an infp 4w5, I want to know what is going on in my mind😂☕️
i still dont know if i use Se or Ne. i know i use Fi and i know i use Si...not sure about Ne
Hmm, I actually like talking to strangers rather than people I know.
Is it possible to be an INFP who’s Si is “broken”? I fit the descriptions in this video and other videos on INFPs very well, except for Si - I learned from a young age to suppress personal memories, but I pick up on how to do things and how systems work very quickly. Also, my nostalgia is mostly fuzzy and sad. Kinda like distorted liminal spaces 😢
It's mostly right in my experience. Except i don't agree with many things you said under the si function. I agree we are a memories library . But people say i pick things up fast which i see as typical of intuitive types. I'm not in to traditional things but i like some traditional things. I do get rid of stuff, but i do wear the same sort of clothing even though i have new stuff...? Please tell me why INFP are said to be dreamers, but also described as EARTHY ? I don't get that, but i think it's true, but i don't understand why INFP are ment to be day dreamers, living in their imagination, but at the same time they are Earthy? Which sounds like down to earth. Please explain. Thanks.
Not me psycho analysing myself 💀💀
Haha.... What's Te ?
Sounds all too hard to me 😂
1. As an INFP girl it depends on gender, I'll be super cautious while interacting with stranger men, but with women I'll open (I don't think they'll do any harm to me)
2. Si is not true for me
Rest of the video corresponds with who I am
Assuming men are a threat until proven innocent = living in fear. You can be cautious without fear, which is not helpful or rational. You're probably in an Anglo Saxon country where such behaviour is normalized... but it's not normal 🤷♂️ my first GF was short and model level beautiful but did not have this fear of men. And yes, she has had bad experiences with dangerous guys... fear shuts down your heart's ability to literally feel danger, ironically thereby making you less safe
It's pretty shocking to hear 50% of the entire human race is seen as a threat by default. Respectfully this is not about being an INFP, sounds more like trauma and/or toxic cultural conditioning.
you might be ISFP
7:45 "dogs respond better to rewards than punishments"
so if dog does something bad just don't give it a reward instead of punishing it, right?
but wouldn't denying a dog a reward then turn into a punishment in and of itself because you're denying the dog of its potential happiness?
therefore doggos always deserve rewards :3
so as a consequence doggos use their doggo charms to enslave all humans on earth
insert existential crisis
but that's okay, we'll willingly submit to the dominant will of our four legged canine companions and every human will have their dog like shaggy and scooby and villains will start to dress up in monster costumes recreating the scooby-doo universe and this is how monsters under the bed will become real again and we'll have to call ghostbusters to deal with it
If ET's were observing human dog interaction, they would assume the dogs are the masters and the humans their slaves (since humans pick up doggie doodoo 🐶💩it is obvious who the superior species is)
Playing old video games. Yep guilty as charged.
My takeaway: Te with INFP is xxTJ, and J mirrors as in Christianity we're created in God's Image. In Islam we can't pray toward a mirror, as obstacle to Mecca, because that's Narcissistic. .... However I don't know,i'll know by a "feeling "explosion (Fi)".
There’s a stigma that INFPs only thrive in and pursue creativity. I’m wondering… do INFPs make good doctors??
learn more about myself
ISTP pls
I'm beginning more and more to believe I'm an infp who's caught up in life and lost my ne due to life. It's depressing
I used to be so imaginative
