In 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.

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.
