INFP which stands for introverted, intuitive, feeling and prospecting is one of the 16
personality types identified by a personality assessment called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI). The INFP can be thought of as "the mediator," or as "an idealist," because he
or she tends to be creative, quirky, humane, and curious about the world.
The INFP personality type is often associated with their enjoyment of
entertaining new ideas and possibilities with visionary beliefs and idealistic views.
Open - minded and creative INFPs see an opportunity to not only learn about the world,
but about themselves and their life's purpose. If you are an INFP, you probably seek a life of
passion and intensity, you want to know what it really means to live life to its fullest.
INFPs make about 4 percent of the population. If you think you are an INFP person, dive deeper
into this special personality, learn what are your traits and how to use them to increase your soft
skills and achieve personal growth. Here are 7 Signs That You're An INFP Personality Type.
Number 1 - You focus on thinking big Mediators want to have an impact on this
world. INFPs also have strong interests in making the world a better place.
In addition to being interested in improving their own lives and how they fit into the world,
the Mediators also want to learn how best to help others. People with this personality type go
through a lot of thought processes to understand their own purpose in life and learn how they can
best contribute with their skills and talents to the world. Although doing the right thing is
not always easy or feasible, mediators strive to follow their conscience. It's in their nature to
live a meaningful life - one that helps others and leaves the world better than it was before.
Number 2 - You willingly help other people A Mediator is idealistic and empathetic,
desiring to form deep, soulful relationships with others, and feels called to help them. However,
because Mediators make up such a small segment of the population, they may at times feel lonely
or invisible because the world does not seem to appreciate their unique characteristics.
INFPs have a deep sincere curiosity about the depths of human nature, intensely introspective,
deeply perceptive to their own thoughts and feelings, but also yearn to comprehend the people
around them as well. Mediators are compassionate and nonjudgmental, and always willing to listen to
the other person's story. They feel honored and grateful when someone turns to them for
comfort or for openness. Although empathy is a great gift for this personality type,
it can also be a liability at times. Individuals with INFP personalities are potentially affected
by other people's moods or mindsets, which makes them vulnerable to internalizing them.
Number 3 - You have a very good intuition INFPs usually have a great understanding
whether something is right or wrong. They may do something only to become aware that what they're
doing conflicts with the REAL them inside. They have learned to follow their instincts and trust
their intuitions over the years. An INFP may seem approachable and up for anything when they're
with a group of friends. But on the inside, they're deeply tied to your beliefs, ethics,
dreams, and ideals which are often dictated by their "gut feeling". Mediator can have a sudden
moment of enlightenment when he or she knows exactly that something is wrong and why that is.
They are innately smart enough to know who can and cannot be trusted. They don't need
everything in life spelled out in big letters. Mediator intuition is powerful and they usually
can tell when someone has a hidden agenda or ulterior motives even when they appear friendly
on the surface. Also, INFPs often sympathize with underdogs rather than the powerful players.

Number 4 - You love to express yourself Mediators deeply stand for their values and views,
on top of that they love to express them in different ways. These people are likely to tend
toward creative self-expression due to their sensitivity and commitment to authenticity.
Therefore, it is not surprising that so many famous Mediators were poets, writers, actors,
and artists. It is hard for an INFP not to wonder about the purpose and significance of life,
and to dream up all sorts of stories, ideas, and possibilities along the way.
Mediators can explore their own nature plus their place in the universe by working through
these imaginative wanders. They have an exceptional talent for self-expression.
In terms of metaphors and fictional characters, they may divulge their innermost thoughts.
However, INFPs often have a tendency to daydream and fantasize instead of taking action. A mediator
needs to make sure that his or her dreams and ideas are turned into reality in order to avoid
feeling frustrated, unfulfilled, or incapable. Number 5 - You believe in a power of true love
Mediators are dreamers and idealists, especially when it comes to romance.
People with this personality type believe that true love is powerful and beautiful, and they
sincerely desire never to settle for anything less. INFPs are apt to have high expectations
when it comes to romance. Years may have passed for them daydreaming about the right relationship,
wondering what it would feel like to share their innermost feelings with another person.
They want to connect with a soul mate - not just a partner.
One of the things mediators are proud of is that they are able to see past the superficial aspects
of compatibility and focus on the deeper, hidden, more insightful side of a person.
As INFP fall in love, their quiet exterior reveals how much passion there is that thrives underneath.
Loyal and devoted, they aim to accept their partners for who they are, yet also respect
their independence. Mediators deeply believe that two people can come together in a relationship and
become better and happier than they were before. Number 6 - You invest a lot in your friendships
INFPs consider friendship as a precious commodity - an opportunity for two people to change each
other's lives for the better. Mediators typically enjoy spending quality time with a small, intimate
circle of friends or family, probably because they invest so much time into these relationships. A
Mediators inner circle may include friends for life, while acquaintances come and go.
Though they are warm and accepting, Mediators don't always find it easy to make friends.
Mediators are seeking genuine friendship with people who share their desire to think and
feel deeply, to do the right thing and to give more of themselves to the world than they take.
In addition, having both Intuitive and Prospective personality traits, helps them to appreciate
partners with totally different experiences and worldviews from their own. Although Mediators
may be entirely alone sometimes, they always keep their friends in their hearts.
Number 7 - You live a life from your heart
INFPs seek meaning and inspiration in life. Money, status, and power have never been big motivators
for them. For this reason, Mediators sometimes feel a little out of place. While others exhaust
themselves trying to get ahead in life, INFPs quietly try to understand your place in the world
and what it all means. For Mediators, meaning comes first. INFPs live by not caring about owning
the latest gadgets, buying expensive clothes or to just elevate their status, but instead
living life from their heart, seeking to make the world a little more beautiful, fair, and accepting
place to be. Armed with a powerful intuition, creativity, imagination, and kindness for others,
Mediators can overcome or outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. On a personal level,
the INFP who focuses more on doing rather than only dreaming and reduces the desperation to
pleasing others has everything in his or her power to lead a rich and rewarding life.
