INFP personalities are usually perceived as calm,
reserved or even shy. However, such an exterior can be deceptive – even though
INFPs can be somewhat cautions, their inner flame and passion is not something
to be taken lightly. People with this personality type are really affectionate,
a trait not often seen in other types. This compassion can be really
fervent and long-lasting – but the INFP will use it quite cautiously, directing
their energies towards a few selected people or a worthy cause. Idealism is the
banner of INFP personalities – and they are proud of it. Unfortunately, it also
means that INFPs can often feel misunderstood and isolated, as they are
relatively rare (only 4.3% of U.S. population).
People with the INFP personality type have a clear sense
of honor, which inspires and motivates them. If someone wants to get to know an
INFP, it is crucial to know what drives them, to understand their chosen cause.
INFPs seek harmony in their lives and the surrounding
environment, often feeling dejected because of all the bad things happening in
the world and trying hard to create something positive. People with this
personality type tend to see things and actions from the idealistic
perspective, rather than the prism of logic. They respond to beauty, morality,
virtue rather than utility, effectiveness or value.
INFPs can easily speak in metaphors and parables, and
they also have an amazing gift of creating and interpreting symbols – for this
reason, INFPs often find it natural to write and enjoy poetry. This personality
type does not worship logic, unlike the NT types – from their viewpoint, logic
is not always necessary. It is also likely that an INFP will not enjoy
hypothetical or never-ending discussions.
INFPs may also often retreat into their “hermit” state
(this personality type can easily switch between the two states), withdrawing
from the world and getting lost in their deep thoughts – their partner may then
need to spend quite a lot of effort to energize and “awaken” the INFP.
INFPs have the trait common among NF types – their
aptitude for foreign languages is unmatched. INFPs also often become great
writers and actors, as they can easily reflect and convey their own
personalities using the fictional characters. Generally speaking, people with this
personality type are extremely creative, innovative and goal-oriented – they
can be great advocates for causes they truly believe in.
Finally, most INFPs have the ability to notice even
the slightest hint of good in other people. In INFP eyes, even the most
revolting person will have something worthy of respect or, at the very least,
sympathy.
