what i love about being an infp

the ability to feel what others are feeling, reading them like a book, trying to solve their problems and comfort them, appreciating nature and things that others might see as “weird” or “unconventional”, the way that my logic is different from the standard definition of logic.

to all infp’s out there, appreciate the little things that aren’t found in others. 🤍

Gather ‘round and hear me out, 'cause here's the scoop,

I'm 'bout to drop some insight, Enneagram Five in the loop.

See, being a Five is like diving in deep,

Exploring the mysteries, secrets we keep.

We're the thinkers, the observers, the ones in our heads,

Analyzing the world, while others sleep in their beds.

Curiosity fuels us, it's our driving force,

Seeking understanding, charting our own course.

We're the introverted reesearchers, the knowledge junkies,

With minds like libraries, stacked up real chunky.

Books are our allies, our trusted companions,

We devour their pages, like a hunger that fastens.

But don't mistake our silence for indifference or disdain,

We're just brewing ideas, igniting our brain.

We value our solitude, where thoughts come alive,

A sanctuary for pondering, where we truly thrive.

We're the ones asking "why?" and seeking the truth,

Diving deep into topics, like daring sleuths.

But sometimes we get lost in our own little bubble,

Lost in theories and concepts, causing some trouble.

We can be detached, aloof, lost in our heads,

But deep down we long for connection, like golden threads.

We crave understanding, a meeting of minds,

To share our insights, where connection finds.

So embrace our quirks, our thirst for knowledge untamed,

We're not distant or cold, just a bit unexplained.

Enneagram Fives, we're the thinkers, the seekers,

Navigating the world, like cosmic mystique-ers.

So let's celebrate our brilliance, our quest for the real,

Enneagram Fives, the minds that can heal.

In the journey of life, we'll make our mark,

With knowledge as our armor, and curiosity as our spark.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne) and Introverted Intuition (Ni) are two cognitive functions described in Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. These functions play a significant role in how individuals perceive and process information. How does Extroverted Intuition compare to Introverted Intuition?

1. Direction of focus:

- Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Ne is directed outward, focusing on possibilities and connections in the external world. People with Ne tend to explore multiple perspectives, ideas, and options. They often see patterns and connections in the environment and are open to new experiences and opportunities.

- Introverted Intuition (Ni): Ni is directed inward, focusing on internal insights and patterns. Individuals with Ni have a deep sense of knowing or hunches about the future and underlying meanings. They often have a strong intuition about what will happen or what something signifies.

2. Information processing:

- Ne: Individuals with Ne are excellent at brainstorming, generating ideas, and making connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. They often see the big picture and are quick to identify possibilities and alternatives. Ne users may struggle with focusing on a single idea or following through on specific plans.

- Ni: Ni users excel at synthesizing complex information and distilling it into a core concept or vision. They have a knack for seeing hidden meanings and understanding the underlying essence of things. Ni users may struggle with explaining their insights to others or providing concrete evidence for their intuitions.

3. Time orientation:

- Ne: Ne tends to be future-oriented, constantly seeking new possibilities and potential outcomes. It thrives on exploring what could be and is often energized by change and novelty.

- Ni: Ni is often characterized as having a future-oriented focus as well, but it also incorporates a sense of the past. Ni users may draw on past experiences and patterns to gain insight into the future.

4. Communication style:

- Ne: Ne users are typically enthusiastic communicators who enjoy sharing ideas and engaging in brainstorming sessions. They may jump from topic to topic, exploring different perspectives and possibilities.

- Ni: Ni users may have a more reflective and contemplative communication style. They tend to share insights and intuitions in a concise and focused manner, often conveying a sense of certainty or conviction.

5. Relationship to details:

- Ne: Ne users generally enjoy exploring the details and possibilities within a given context. They may become easily bored with routine or repetitive tasks and prefer to keep their options open.

- Ni: Ni users often focus on the underlying meaning or significance behind the details. They may have a tendency to overlook or dismiss specific details if they do not align with their overall vision or intuition.

The extent to which a person relies on Ne or Ni depends on where it is in the cognitive stack.

opinion: extroverts are easier to type than introverts

in mbti stacks, functions that are lower or inferior are often expressed through functions that are higher or more dominant.

especially if the inferior/tert functions are unhealthy, it's common to see that they almost "corrupt" or "cling" onto the dominant function, which is often why we see theories about loops, jumps, or grips.

this means that introverted functions are more visible when expressed through extroverted ones, since it's much clearer when they work together.

think of it like this: extroverted functions are windows, while introverted functions are walls. you can see through a window, but you have to break it down to see through a wall.

this also applies to objective/subjective functions, as those who are high in objective functions have higher visible subjective functions than the other way around.

Inner worlds

Behavioural similarities exist between all types, extending beyond singular type or triadic grouping. This makes typing through evaluating behaviour often an erroneous process. What types share in common is their view of the world and subsequently, their inner world. If we were somehow able to see the internal workings of people, type differentiation would be a lot clearer. Below are some descriptions of inner worlds common to each type (I’m not going to lie, extroverted types spend a lot of their time avoiding their inner worlds, so this was definitely harder to determine). I’m going to mix this up and start with Type 6 - The Inner Council We all have our inner voice (probably reading this page right now), our conscience, our gut feeling, all of which helps us in making decisions. In the inner world of Type 6s, all of these aspects of themselves form an internal council, responsible for the processing of decision making. The problem is, often there are conflicts between these aspects of the council, they disagree on courses of action. It’s this instability which leads to the Type 6s yearning for security and stability, to keep the inner council calm. Type 7 - The Inner Horror The Type 7 fixation specifically works around the avoidance of the inner world. This is because deep within their internal worlds exist a build-up of anxiety, emotional tension and pressure. Whilst other types may face these pressures, Type 7 will avoid it, leaving it to grow. This is why they often have problems with encountering boredom, as boredom promotes introspection and an encounter to the anxiety they seek to escape. Type 8 - The Inner Child Behind the tough exterior and dominating stature of Type 8 lies a soft and sensitive interior (cliche, I know). I’ve called this the inner child, but really this is just a sensitive emotional world. For the Type 8 however, this is their point of weakness as to leave themselves vulnerable at any point would affect them greatly if they were hurt. Thus, they strive to protect their inner child from any harm, coating themselves in a dominating exterior and challenging potential harm they may face. Type 9 - The Inner Sanctum As a Withdrawn type, the internal world is of great importance to Type 9. Here is where the inner peace they desire exists, a sort of fantasy world of daydreams where they can escape to when reality becomes difficult. The only problem is, due to receptivity of Type 9, any anger or conflict they engage with will disrupt the serenity of the sanctum, causing an internal turmoil. It is this avoidance that can be attributed to the Type 9 fixation on their own narcotization of anger and conflict-avoidance. Type 1 - The Inner Critic It’s as simple as it sounds: that voice in your head that tell you you’re not good enough. Type 1 is constantly being governed by the inner critique on their actions, their behaviours, their interactions. The only way the critic can be silenced is by being perfect in all aspects. Perfection cannot be criticised as it is without error. Unfortunately, it’s also humanely impossible to achieve. This constant evaluation also makes Type 1 very sensitive to receiving criticism, as they already are dealing with a lot of their own. Type 2 - The Inner Mother Again, the title is not literally what it sounds like. What Type 2 has internally is an externally focused emotional world. What lies within them is an eye for seeing those who need help, assistance or nurturing. Validation is found by attending to others and satisfying the internal message that your own goodness is based on being good to others. Conversely, not helping people leaves the internal world unsatisfied, resulting in the Type 2 focusing on always having someone to help. Type 3 - The Inner Mirror Probably the most externally focused type, Type 3 focuses on building its on image up because when it does introspect it comes in contact with an inner mirror. In other words, the presentation and value of external image becomes the intrinsic sense of self-worth. Which then leads Type 3 to focus upon bettering themselves externally to receive validation and build themselves up internally. This can lead to self-deception of self, of what truly is them and what is merely their illusion of who they are. Type 4 - The Inner Cave Although Type 4 is a highly imaginative type similar to the other Withdrawn types, what identifies them is their inner cave, a deep emotional world. They often equate this to a void, a feeling of loss or that something is missing from them, that others have. Depending on their wing, Type 4 will either avoid these feelings or delve deep into the cave. Often, in order to project or respond to these feelings, Type 4 will use artistry and symbolism, expressing their inner cave into their outside reality. Type 5 - The Inner Workshop The last Withdrawn type is most known for their daydreaming and withdrawal. But by no means is this a passive activity. Type 5 is extremely active within their own minds, constructing fantasy worlds, categorizing, processing observations. This preoccupation with constant stimulation of the mind is driven by the fear of emptiness, of being without knowledge and vulnerable to reality. They need their time by themselves to prepare their inner workshop to be active whilst they leave it temporarily to enter into the external world. Knowing the inner worlds of the types makes it a lot clearer when determining your own type. As well as this, these internal behaviours directly relate to the types own basic fears and desires. Understanding and exploring inner worlds helps further our understanding of the enneagram and of each other.

"If I lived forever, who knows what I would do?" he continues. "I would certainly get better at the piano. I would try to learn how to paint. I think I would try to read all the books I haven’t read. When I was a child, the house was full of books — the walls were lined with bookshelves — and I remember looking up at them once and thinking, ‘I wonder if I’ll ever be able to read all those books?’ and my mother said, ‘It’s all right; you’ve got loads of time.’ But actually we don’t have that much time — I know I won’t. There will be things I’ll miss out on." (Tom Hiddleston)

You said that the INFPs’ way of thinking is “incredibly unique from all the other times”. Could you please explain what you meant by that? How are their way of thinking unique of all the other types?

Every INFP I’ve interacted with has a profound sense of life / death, of individual worth and value, of the gravitas and importance of individuality, and a sense that one does not need to fear nor flee from the darker side of life. It’s an odd thing, to see someone who is both an idealist and a realist, who wants to believe the best in people but does not shy away from the darkness of them, either. Someone who still believes in dreams yet can study the Holocaust with incredible passion, seriousness, and utter respect for the lost.

The profoundness of FiNeSi’s connection to the past, to the living and dead, to respecting and honoring their memories is something I cannot explain – but I have felt it, walking through a museum with an INFP. To me, those things are just names… pieces of furniture… clothes … shoes. To my INFP, they are the embodiment of a life that is now gone but should never be forgotten.
