Number 9 on our list today is INFPs focus on the big picture.
If you think you're a pessimist, my sincere and probably very helpful recommendation is
to make a friend who has the INFP personality type. They have a great habit of looking at
the big picture.
This is why minor failures every once in a while don’t crush their willpower and they
always look for something better in the future. An INFPs Extroverted intuition comes into
play here, as they constantly operate and encourage themselves with what-if situations
in which they give themselves opportunities to better and grow as people and learn more.
To be honest, if you have a friend who is an INFP personality type, you already understand
what I'm talking about. And if you think you have that habit, you might be an INFP.
Next up and the number 8 surprising INFP secret is, they make decisions that are influenced
by their emotions.
Another prevalent trait of people with the INFP personality type is that their emotions
have a strong influence on their decisions. That implies that, whether it's about a job,
personal relationships, or other life decisions, you can always count on them to prioritize
their emotions and feelings.
If they choose a career, they are almost certain to be emotionally comfortable with it and
to believe that they can be passionate about it in the long run. This is why the INFP personality
type is sometimes notorious for making rash decisions in the heat of the moment., so be
careful what you say around them.
Number 7 is they prefer to work alone.
Whenever we’re talking about group projects, group assignments, or presentations, you can
always count on the INFP personality type to shine the most whenever they’re working
alone.
It’s not that they hate people or that they don’t have any social skills, they just
feel like they can work at their best potential and give their best performance when they’re
alone. They aren’t afraid to experiment and they love to delve into the situation
from different aspects, and working with other people might not give them the chance to do
that.
Here, the cognitive function of extroverted thinking comes into play. Whenever presented
with a situation, a question, or a puzzle, the INFP personality type tends to become
extremely detail-oriented and pays a lot of attention to every single aspect and detail
Once again, this is where their ability to “what if” situations helps them out and
allows them to think outside the box.
Next up and number 6 today is, they can ignore the small accomplishments while being hard
on themselves.
Ignoring your minor failures to focus on future opportunities and possible accomplishments
is a very positive and admirable aspect of the INFP personality type but we cannot ignore
another extremely common and interesting sign that is found in them.
Yes, I have mentioned that they ignore the minor failures but, every time it’s not
just a minor failure that gets ignored. a lot of the time, it can be a minor accomplishment
that can actually boost their confidence. their ability to overlook certain situations
and consequences might also include the times when they ignore their accomplishments and
become a little too harsh towards themselves.
INFPs can be harsh on themselves because they want to make sure they're making the best
decisions possible. INFPs have a strong bond with their internal morals, which causes them
to be tough on themselves. They want to know that they are doing the correct thing, but
they need to make sure to pay attention to the victories. No matter how small.

Starting our top 5 is, their indecisiveness is unparalleled.
It goes without saying that whenever you pay a little too much attention, think too much
about something and start to look at stuff a little too carefully, it gets a little hard
to make a decision.
Extraverted thinking is their inferior function. This is what enables people's decision-making
and action. An INFP sees an infinite number of options while making a decision, and they
think in associative concepts, where one thing leads to another, and then another, and so
on. These unending thoughts and options are what cause individuals to experience analysis
paralysis in which they are unable to make a decision.
Another explanation is that INFPs despise being constrained. They do not want to be
tied down to one thing and enjoy the flexibility and the ability to change their minds if they
are unhappy with their decisions.
So if you happen to overthink and overanalyze stuff, face a hard time while making a decision,
and think a little too much about the details, then this might be another sign that you belong
to the INFP personality type
Number 4 on our list of surprising INFP secrets is, They tend to overthink.
As we all know, the INFP personality type happens to be introverted which means that
they are not exactly used to sharing stuff and discussing their thoughts and feelings
with others.
INFPs think too much while doing the dishes, sleeping, and driving. Because they keep spacing
out, they tend to re-read paragraphs numerous times. That's how frequently an INFP's head
is invaded by random thoughts. INFPs are also quite sensitive to being offended
by others. They are even regretful for being harsh to someone they dislike. INFPs will
even overthink about the extent of their rudeness. Their conscience does remind them to be kinder
in the future. INFPs tend to overthink the future because
of all the concepts whirling around them.
One of INFPs' weaknesses is that they are overly idealistic. They come up with brilliant
concepts. As a result, they want it to happen. However, when they are forced to act, the
dread of failure can overcome them. Fears can cause someone to become overwhelmed and
unable to achieve their goals.
Kicking off our top 3 today is, they have really, really high expectations.
When it comes to expectations and the INFP personality type, things can easily spiral
out of control. This is due to the fact that this personality type is known for having
obscenely high expectations. Whether it's romantic, emotional, intellectual, or professional,
they will always push themselves and those around them much further than anybody else.
INFPs have a tendency to be idealistic, which might lead to unmet expectations in their
lives. They have lofty expectations and dreams, and they don't want to give up any of them
for anything. INFPs may have romantic or intimate relationship expectations that aren't met,
making them dissatisfied. When things don't go as planned for the INFP, they can be quite
disappointed. INFPs are actually accustomed to being frustrated, therefore they will undoubtedly
find a method to overcome this. However, compromising what they believe in and what they really
want can be tough for them.
In the runner-up spot and number 2, today is they’re generous and open-minded.
As I have mentioned earlier in the video, this personality type happens to be extremely
thoughtful and doesn't hesitate to think outside the box and leave their comfort zone.
INFPs are patient and accepting, and they try not to pass judgment on others' ideas,
lives, or decisions. Many INFPs feel empathy even for people who have done wrong, as this
personality type favors compassion to finding fault. Because of their openness, they frequently
become confidants for their friends and loved ones, as well as complete strangers.
This is why they happen to look at everything with a very accepting mindset and try to look
at the positive side of everything. Once again, if you have an INFP friend, you are quite
lucky.
Topping our list and the number 1 surprising secret of an INFP is they are Fast Learners
INFPs are quick to learn new information and enjoy trying new things. Their minds are remarkably
good at picking up on new information, which aids them in dealing with new environments.
While others may take their time learning the procedures and making sure they're ready
for each stage, the INFP prefers to get right in. They get bored quickly if they aren't
stimulated enough, therefore they prefer to be able to pick things up quickly and go on
to the next adventure. INFPs flourish in new settings and adapt while others would feel
confused or trapped because of their quick wits and intellect.
INFPs excel in fast-paced situations far more than they do in sluggish situations. When
the INFP feels uninspired and even stagnant, it's because their surroundings aren't stimulating
their minds in the right way. When confined in a boring setting, the INFP feels trapped,
yet in a fast-paced and exciting atmosphere, the INFP is more likely to flourish and be
able to truly demonstrate their skills and abilities.
INFPs are quiet, but warm and thoughtful individuals. They value authenticity above all else, which
is why they are unlikely to appear inconsistent in the view of others. INFPs would never knowingly
harm another person and have no desire for fame or power. Instead, they want to make
a positive impact on the world and influence the well-being of everyone they care about.
INFPs are well aware that not everyone understands them and that they are frequently regarded
as a difficult nut to crack, but they are mostly unconcerned about this. What matters
more to them is knowing that they have a small group of devoted friends who accept them as
they are and they reciprocate by doing the same for them.
