The INFP personality type is one of the 16 personality types based on the Myers-Briggs
Type Index.. When I talk about INFP character typing, this
personality type has complex and different characteristics than what you might think.
An INFPs function stack starts with their primary function of Introverted Feeling, followed
by Extroverted Intuition, then Introverted Sensing, and finally Extroverted Thinking.
INFPs prefer to be alone and are interested in spending time in their inner world and
in most cases are known as introverts. They tend to be mostly artists and creators
and are interested in daydreaming. Although they are very emotional, INFPs have
little interest in expressing their emotions because of their dominant cognitive function
of introverted feeling. They get energy from themselves. People with
this personality type are often described as idealistic and referred to as mediators.
Their personality is more inclined to introversion, idealism, creativity, and progress towards
higher values. INFPs spend a lot of time researching their
purpose in life and thinking about how they can use their skills and talents to provide
the best service to those around them and humanity.
Some of these may sound familiar for other personality types, but there are very significant
differences that are unique to INFPs. Today I am talking about the top 7 obvious signs

purpose of life, especially within themselves. You may see that INFPs think for hours to

due to their sense of idealism and purposefulness. They put together all the information received
from the outside world and seek to understand the meaning and concept of everything.

and to understand this, all issues must be carefully considered and evaluated.
Next up and number 6 today is INFPs are Patient and flexible
Patience and flexibility are the hallmarks of the INFP personality type.

Also, their perception, their honesty, and sincerity are exemplary.
An INFPs patience and trustworthiness are a result of their introversion and sentimentality,
which has earned them the title of one of the best - close friends you can have.
INFPs are full of empathy and do not want anyone to have a problem or experience a difficult
situation, which is an indicator that they have a lot of deep feelings.
You may see that they are silent and seemingly just listening to you, which is because they
are introverted, but inside, they are finding a solution to your problem with all of their
power of perception and intuition.
Number 5 today is INFPs are Peace-seeking and avoid inconsistencies
You are dealing with an emotional person with a predominantly perceptive personality. So
do not expect any inclination or conflict. Even if they get into an argument, INFPs are
more emotionally attached. It is clear that, due to their introverted
nature, they have no desire to cause confrontation or disagreement.
Also, because of their collection of moral attributes, INFPs are more predisposed to
peace and prefer acceptance as a solution. They are not necessarily warriors unless their
values ​​are being threatened. Their perception has shaped them into a meditating
personality that is uninterested in intense situations and seeks to establish tranquility
in all circumstances. So they tend to solve problems in the best
and most calm way and try to do it peacefully by considering all aspects of the subject

Number 4 on today's list of obvious signs you are an INFP is their Tendency to delay
decisions. This is totally rational.
You're dealing with someone who is emotionally observant but reluctant to make difficult
decisions or put themselves in difficult situations. The preference of an INFP is to wait to make
any decisions until the last moment. Given their reliance on their intuition and
the fact that they avoid planning and rushing situations, it is normal for them to postpone
crucial decisions and wait until the last minute to make them.
When it comes to decision-making, they like to leave things open in the end and not jump
to conclusions when they don't have to. For INFPs Emotions are more important than
logic when making decisions. This is to be expected since we are dealing with a person
whose primary function is introverted feeling so emotions dominate an INFPs logic.
And it is for these reasons that INFPs are capable of coping with themselves and their
challenges. They are Someone who can take control of a situation at the last minute
and make decisions in a crisis, allowing them to solve various challenges on their own.
Starting our top 3 today is an INFPs Perfectionism. This feature is one of the most obvious characteristics
of an INFP. An INFPs combination of traits, such as intuition
and perception, drives them to strive for perfection and the best possible outcome.
Remember that their heart does not want to feel any lack because they are emotional people.
They don't simply want their personal position to be perfect; they want the world to be a
better place for everyone. Their primary goal is to make the world better for all living
things. Their insight drives them to the pinnacle
of achievement. They receive guidance from all external and internal aspects that can
make everything perfect, according to their intuition.
It is understandable that you will not find this type of person being super successful
in a teamwork situation. For an introvert and perfectionist with indescribable
intuition, it is difficult to ask people for something that can only be found within themselves.
Sometimes they can not find balance in perfectionism, and their extroverted intuition and extroverted
thinking traits cause them to get in trouble along the way and never be completely satisfied
with something. Of course, you may not notice any signs of
dissatisfaction because you are dealing with an introverted personality type.
In the runner-up spot and number 2 on our list, today is INFPs Focus on the whole story.
The INFP personality type typically relies on their intuition and focuses on the big
picture rather than small details. They can be quite specific about the topics they really
care about and the projects they are working on, but they want to ignore trivial or boring
details. They pay little attention to the details and
strive to concentrate on the bigger picture. They are hesitant to go into depth due to
their introversion, yet they are exploring their insights for the entire situation. Because
of this trait, they can easily overlook little details.
That isn't to say that things aren't important to them.
They are just uninterested in paying attention to specifics and dealing with them due to
their innate perception.
So far, what are your thoughts on these obvious signs that you are an INFP? Leave a comment
and let me know.
Topping our list today and the number 1 obvious sign you are an INFP is their High value for
close relationships. As you may be aware, INFPs do not receive
energy from the masses in the same way that extroverts do.
They derive energy from their safe and private environment, which they then display and spend
in public. INFPs typically keep a close circle of friends
and don’t necessarily enjoy being around a lot of people.
They may even go to a quiet and safe location during a gathering for a few minutes to concentrate
and gather energy. Don’t be surprised. They must deal with and try to understand the information
that is given to them constantly. They want to have a few close relationships,
but they want them to be deep. Their passionate and profound emotions, as well as their introversion,
are less impacted in these relationships. And it goes without saying that they place
a high value on these close relationships. They assess individuals based on their intuition,
accept them based on their feelings, evaluate them based on their perception, and allow
them to enter their small universe.
INFPs have active, passionate inner lives, despite their calm or modest exterior. They
are imaginative and creative, and they enjoy daydreaming, making up all kinds of stories
and conversations in their heads. Mediators are noted for their sensitivity; they may
react strongly to music, art, nature, and the people they interact with.
INFPs are idealistic and sensitive people who want deep, sincere relationships and feel
inclined to aid others. However, because Mediators make up such a small percentage of the population,
they may feel lonely or invisible at times, adrift in a world that doesn't appear to value
the characteristics that distinguish them. Of course, truly Knowing a person can not
be limited to these characteristics. There is always more to it.
You’ve got this. Now go get it done.
