With the INFJ’s most dominant function being their powerful introverted intuition, it’s
no surprise that they experience some supernatural intuitive abilities that set them apart from
the other personality types.
Infact, it’s only when INFJs stop doubting their intuitive guide, that they can easily
predict future outcomes and be led to a life that fulfills their deepest desires and passions.
Welcome or welcome back Psych-o!

Alright, jumping right into the video, starting with..
Number 1: They can instantly tell when something isn’t right
While other personality types that are led by logic and thinking require a great amount
of detail and rationalism in order to see if something isn’t going right, the INFJ
instantly feels a sense of uncertainty when something seems fishy.
Whether it be a friend’s toxic relationship, a sketchy boss, or even an environment that
isn’t what it seems to be, the INFJ personality type doesn’t need details, logic or convincing
to see right through toxicity.
In fact, this is what causes others to think of their INFJ friends and family to be seemingly
coo-coo or other worldly, because in the times that they do speak up and share these introspective
feelings that they can’t quite explain in words, people can’t wrap their heads around
it without an explanation.
Number 2: They can sense when someone needs help
Not only can INFJs sense when even the most convincingly happy people are suffering deep
down inside, they can also sense when people are playing the victim card by using their
sob story only as a front to get what they want.
This sensing can be attributed to their deep empathetic nature and their strong intuition
going hand in hand and is an important aspect of their highly empathetic nature because
it allows them to easily decipher who to give their nurturing energies to and who to stay
far away from.
Without using their intuition as a guide, some INFJs have trouble deciphering between
these two energies which can cause them serious empath burn out.
Number 3: They can feel when someone is on the verge of a breakdown
Similar to the supernatural instinct of knowing when someone is hiding their sadness behind
their smile, INFJs can sense when someone is on the verge of a mental burnout.
They can tell when the person that is used to taking on all the responsibilities in the
workplace, or at home is on the verge of hitting a breaking point.
This sense of knowing comes from their intuition, but also from experience, as they INFJ is
so used to being the one that can’t say no, that they are all too familiar with reaching
the burnout stage, and they can easily see the signs in someone else as they do themselves.
If an INFJ is asking someone if they’re still happy in their current job or marriage,
they probably already know the answer, yet they’re trying to spark a conversation in
order for the other person to realize it themselves.
Number 4: They know when something aligns with their purpose
Even if an INFJ doesn’t exactly know what their purpose is, they still know when something
is not inline with the direction they’re going in life.
While most personality types use the opportunities that the world gives them to navigate where
life will take them, INFJs won’t settle for an opportunity just because it seems like
a good move from the outside.
This intuitive personality type will have hunches that will let them know if the opportunity
feels right, and if it doesn’t, no amount of money, love or opinions can hold them down
from fleeing.
Likewise, they may make life decisions that seem absurd to the average person, but an
INFJs intuition takes the final say no matter what, always guiding them to positive outcomes.
Number 5: They can feel anger brewing from a mile away
INFJs are known to be great communicators, and being able to sense when someone’s anger
may take control of the situation is a key aspect of this true gift.
INFJs have a great instinctual feeling of knowing how someone is feeling, and then changing
the narrative to best suit the mood.
Since this sensitive personality type likes to avoid anger and conflict at all costs,
when they feel anger brewing within someone they’re communicating with, they can usually
ease the situation before it goes overboard.
This instinct contributes to their nurturing and calming communicative style, but it also
allows for them to better judge a person's behavior based on the emotions they’re feeling
rather than jumping to conclusions of who that individual is as a person, which is one
of the main reasons INFJs are considered to be so understanding.
Number 6: They can easily make decisions with no significant outside reasoning
Just as the INFJ can feel when something aligns with their higher purpose, they are called
to make sometimes difficult decisions that other people just wouldn’t understand.
For example, although a job may seem like the dream job on the outside because of the
high pay, friendly people, and short commute, if an INFJ has a hunch that it’s not what
they’re meant to be doing with their time, they can’t help but move on.
In fact, the longer an INFJ fights the intuitive feelings because of outer judgments and physical
details of the situation, they can soon feel overburdened, completely dissatisfied and
out of place, until they finally make their move.
Number 7: They know when someone’s mind has changed
The words and actions of other people aren’t as convincing to an INFJ as they would be
to other personality types who use logic as their main function.
With introverted intuition as their dominant function, it’s almost as if an INFJ is 10
steps ahead of everyone in the sense of feelings and emotions.
For example, an INFJ can sense when their partner is no longer fully invested in the
relationship, or contemplating parting ways long before their partner has reached a conclusion
or have even come to terms with their own feelings.
Because energies are easier to read for an INFJ, even the slightest shift can convince
them that something’s up.
Whether they use that insight to negotiate the situation, or protect themselves by removing
themselves from the situation depends on many factors..
But just as we mentioned, the INFJ doesn’t need outer reasoning to make hefty decisions.
Number 8: They can’t accept concepts without assessing them
INFJs are always finding a deeper meaning or alternative motive behind structures and
concepts.
Whether it’s religious stories they’ve been told as children, or a new rule laid
out by the government, the INFJ personality type is skeptical until they’ve had the
time to assess every angle.
They will never take anything for face value, or blindly conform and accept things without
fully looking into it which means it’s difficult to convince an INFJ of a concept and expect
them to conform with no questions asked.
This is a big reason why INFJ take things like spirituality, education and earning a
living into their own hands, because they can clearly see the inconsistencies in the
societal structures that have been given to humanity.
Number 9: They can find meaning in symbols and dreams
INFJs are known to be one of the most naturally spiritually intune personality types, and
their introverted intuition has a lot to do with this stereotype.
Their instinctual nature draws them to find meaning in things like repetitive numbers,
recurring dreams, recurring insightful thoughts, stranger interactions, and other things that
others would bluntly brush off as coincidences.
In fact, most INFJs don’t believe in coincidences, because introverted intuition is all about
focusing on connecting patterns and impressions from outer reality and subconsciously to forecast
what is yet to come - so without these universal messages, INFJs would feel lost.
Number 10: They receive ‘out of the blue’ insights
By spending so much time in their vast and complex inner worlds, the INFJ personality
type often receives ‘out of the blue’ insights and revelations to not only their
own ponderings, but also to the issues of their loved ones.
Since so much of this intuitive processing happens subconsciously, INFJs rarely get their
answers by sitting and thinking on the spot, yet their observing and deeply introspective
views and thought processes feed their subconscious the exact information it needs.
Therefore, when an INFJ least expects it, BAM!
A clear answer to their question will appear, and they will have no choice but to follow
that advice of their deep knowing, putting their curiosity to rest, and guiding them
to where they're meant to be.
These are the insights that give the INFJ their psychic-like powers, yet in reality,
there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes of the INFJ mind.
Well, that's it for today, psych-os.
