INFJs are extremely intuitive. And if you’re an INFJ yourself,
you can relate to the feeling of just knowing things without really understanding how
you know them. In fact, with introverted intuition as the dominant INFJ function,
they are considered to be one of the most intuitive personality types out there. So, what's
so special about this so-called INFJ intuition? Welcome or welcome back Psych-o! Before we get

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with.. Number 1: It can feel different for every INFJ
Although all INFJ brain’s prefer to use intuition as their dominant function when making decisions,
each INFJ experiences their introverted intuition differently. And aside from that,
most INFJs actually experience different feelings depending on the situation
and other people involved. Of course the feeling of an intuitive hunch can be difficult to put
into words, but in a general sense intuition can trigger both emotional, and physical sensations
that allow the INFJ brain to pay closer attention to what they’re being called to focus on.
Sometimes it’s a feeling about energy, sometimes it’s a flash of a future prediction, and other
times it can just be a physical chill, avoidance, change in body temperature, and the list goes on..
In fact, sometimes there is no sensation whatsoever, and instead just a mental knowing.
Number 2: Intuitive findings are almost always kept private
In early INFJ years, their intuitive gifts can seem otherworldly. The astonishing findings
and so called coincidences can feel like a gift they need to share with the world,
but over time, INFJs learn that most intuitive feelings are actually best kept to themselves.
Regardless of how familiar an INFJ is with feeling misunderstood in the world, sharing their
intuitive findings is a sure way to make them seem crazy, especially to logical personality types.
They know that it takes a certain amount of open mindedness to understand intuition,
and they learn to not expect that from everyone. Aside from the fact that intuitive feelings
can feel taboo and woo-woo to some people, INFJs can also receive information from these hunches
that other people are not ready to see as true. For example, if an INFJ intuitively
felt that their friend’s new partner was being unfaithful, they may A) tell their friend and
risk jeopardizing being blamed for jumping to conclusions, or B) keep it to themselves and
wait for it all to play out in the future. Of course INFJs would rather choose to save their
friend from misery as soon as possible, but in doing so can actually cause more harm than good.
Number 3: It exerts some serious energy Intuition requires the subconscious brain
to be working on overdrive. Even though everyone’s intuitions work in the background of their minds,
for an INFJ it can take a serious amount of exerted energy to keep their strong intuitions
running 24/7. This intuitive inner compass is not only running when being paid attention too,
but is actually picking up on the minute details of everything around them at all times,
subconsciously noting information that can be pieced together later down the line.
If that doesn’t sound exhausting enough, just add the INFJ empathetic nature to the mix.
When an INFJ is feeling empathetic or skeptical towards a person or situation,
the whole intuitive process can be even more draining. Empathy triggers the INFJ intuition
to be on high alert; such high alert that it can be difficult for this introspective personality
type to pay attention to anything other than what their intuition is pushing them to focus
on. This is why it’s so important for INFJs to set boundaries around this energy, because it can
easily consume their entire focus involuntarily. Number 4: It’s not as supernatural as it seems
Intuition is one of those things that everyone innately has,
but not everyone uses it. For that very reason, the INFJ intuition can seem alienating, almost
as if they have these psychic powers that others aren’t equipped with. While INFJs do have a one up
considering introverted intuition is their most dominant function, the supernatural aspect of
their intuition is often blown out of proportion. In fact, the reason an INFJs intuition is so
particularly strong compared to other personality types is for the sole reason that they have a
certain set of introspective functions that allows them to absorb crucial pieces of information that
others often overlook. Since INFJs are already so familiar with analyzing their surroundings,
their subconscious minds are way ahead of them. Subtle everyday things like body language,
tone of voice, autopilot behaviour and overall energy is picked up by their extroverted sensing
while their introverted intuition makes sense of it all behind the scenes. So, rather than INFJs
having some type of secret spiritual connection to divine intuition, they’re more likely to
be just using their functions in the proper order. Number 5: Practise makes perfect
INFJ intuition has proven itself to be nothing short of astonishing, however,
like any special gift or talent, practise makes perfect. Ironically, you can’t really control
having deep intuitive abilities, but you can improve the precision and understanding of
intuitive findings over time. The INFJ intuition is like a muscle that grows the more you use it,
likewise, it can wilt away when out of practise. So.. how can this strong intuition be improved?
Well, the main steps any INFJ can take to improve their intuition are quite simple,
but they do require patience. Learning to listen and trust that random and repetitive voice in
their heads is the first step, and then putting their intuitive understandings into practise
is the second step. Repeat step one and step 2 everyday, even for the seemingly simple things,
and watch as the intuitive muscle gets stronger and easily utilized.
Number 6: It can be extremely accurate
Practise makes perfect, but what exactly happens when an INFJ’s intuition is strengthened to its
fullest capacity? Well, to put it simply, extreme accuracy happens. In fact, especially when it
comes to an INFJ personality type, a well seasoned intuition is what gives the INFJ their psychic
stereotype. The visions, callings, gut feelings, flashes of insights, and whatever else the INFJ
experiences, become so well equipped to different types of scenarios that they ultimately lead
the INFJ without the need of any type of factual basis. They begin to experience flashes of future
projections, and then deja vu when these future projections actually come into fruition. The first
few times this happens it can feel unsettlingly unexplainable, but overtime, this gift becomes
second nature for an INFJ. Yet, when it comes to outside witnesses of the INFJ’s intuitive
abilities, the bone-chilling accuracy will almost always leave other’s speechless and skeptical.
It’s important to know that these insights may not be immediate projections, sometimes
INFJs have to wait days or even years until they see their insights play out in the real world.
Number 7: It can cause discord in relationships
When an INFJ chooses to use their intuition as their main decision making factor,
it’s understandable that others may think the INFJ is being reckless or rash. Intuitive feelings can
be extremely unpredictable to say the least, and sometimes these hunches aren’t always in agreement
with what an INFJ’s heart and head has their focus on. For example, if an INFJ is in a
romantic relationship where all the facts make it seem like they’re a perfect match,
but there is a persistent negative gut feeling surrounding the connection,
some INFJs wouldn’t hesitate to end it with no factual explanation. Although it may seem unfair,
experienced intuitives know that they’re saving both themselves and the other person a lot of
heartache and difficulty in the future - so they see it as the most ideal decision.
Number 8: It’s uncontrollable
INFJ intuition does not work on demand, and it does not have an off button. Insights don’t come
to an INFJ when they ask for them, and stop when they’ve had enough. Instead, they come and go as
they please, with the INFJ only acting as the messenger. It works in the background of the
complex inner workings of the INFJ brain and picks up on information that the INFJ
themselves may even overlook. And while it may seem like a supernatural gift or a second brain,
this auto-pilot intuition can feel exhausting and sometimes almost as if it is an unshakable burden
with no cure. Yet, once an INFJ sees all the wonderful ways in which their powerful instincts
work, and how they can use their intuitive gifts as their decision making compass - everything
starts to change. Afterall, intuition will only ever move someone towards their higher good.
