As an INFJ who went to college for music, the masterclasses/piano lessons were initially very hard to deal with, considering that criticism is at the very heart of both those things (especially since my teacher tends to value technical perfection--ie, Se--as more important than anything else. However, I did find a way to compartmentalize my piano playing, which allows me to view the criticism more objectively; but if I go into a lesson unprepared emotionally or musically it can still be exceedingly painful. And that basically explains my relationship with all these things--I open up to people often, but then later I realize it was just a canned answer and not how I truly felt. Likewise, I used to never test my ideas in public, but as I became a more confident musician I started doing crazier things (to the chagrin of my teacher, which I now can predict when something will irritate him, and of course I do it anyway and emotionally prepare myself for his tongue-lashing. It's an interesting thing--I present as an INFP or ENFP when engaging with my career or other people, and can seem random or spontaneous, but under the surface there's a long-term logic and method that governs everything I do.

I am proberly a INFJ. Only difference is that i love to talk to people. Listerne to hear myself talk. And sometimes totally regret not listening more.
At the same time. Stod around and listened to a strangers problem for more than a hour. Was a bit stressfull as I was on work hours.
However really glad that the man felt better afterwards.
I will However go long to avoid hurting peoples feelings.

I know i am infj. i will destroy myself physically and mentally to help another person. i know not healthy but i do put myself in the back of a list. Also i do logical thinking but i often see how others feel before voicing my thinking. If it matches then i agree. if not i agree anyway and go with what they want its exhausting. I like my own time. Its like regaining energy for a next social interaction

Hello! INFJ/INTJ here, I prefer to use logic whenever I think, but as another comment said, usually we do feel our intuition spike before we go into analytical mode. But the only one I really related to is Not fitting in and the People pleaser one, as when I was younger I was a people pleaser and I was very shy. Still don't feel like I fit in, but I don't really feel the need for that anymore.

I'm infp-T it has many common trades but is still a different personality. And it does not change anything, its not about your personality type its about who you are and what you make with your life. You are a good or bad person these categories are not important, but they can help you understand your self better.

Well I tested as an infj but at first thought I might be an intj. I am high on thinking and logic but not at the cost of other people. I am not blunt but I do speak my mind when necessary. I tend to soften the message when I have to delicer critics and this is what ultimately landed me as an infj and not an intj.

I am an INJF but I do accept criticism from my closest friends and family (Mom, Bff, siblings, etc) ONLY, I'm not gonna ask people who I only see at work or am equated with how they feel about what i did or am working on bc it can be hurtful and i don't need that emotional baggage xd

100 percent INFJ unfortunately. I'm fricken exhausted. Can everyone get happy please! It's so easy. Pineal gland meditations. Do it for the INFJs bc we feel everything that you are feeling and it lingers and it's just awful! Get happy folks! God is good and life is short!

I recently took a test and I was an INFJ-T. I found out that it was a rare personality to have, so I have been watching videos over it ever since. I was so scared i wouldn't find anyone like me. Thanks to y'all for sharing you experiences in the comment section

Haha, as an INFJ I even isolate myself, monitoring myself, does this have something about mental illness? I mean I do have emotion but not much, I can analyze my emotion and make a logical theory about it, kinda monitoring myself, isolate myself like that

Thank you so much for this video. I thought I was a straight infj but I don't have all the same qualities. A huge part of me wanted to be an infj but it seems not to be true.
Thank you so much for these videos! They've truly helped me see myself!

Every type thinks and feels and use these cognition. Its not a stereotyped feeler feel and intellectuals think.
Fe is mostly based on other feelings rather than own, so normally fi users are more aware of their own internal feeling state

1. I'm too sensitive, to be fully logical.

5. I do not open up to others, easily. Not a lot of people can handle my concerns, and I don't expect them to if their own personal standing reflect otherwise

Wow i like how 90% of psych2go audience are INFJs and they say it's rarest group. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's greatest and to audience: stop lying already and don't forcefully relate yourself to INFJ it's cringe

as an infj, i think infj's are big ambiverts and extroversion and introversion is equally balanced. so, they do like spending time with people and socialising but it depends on the people and if they're fully comfortable with.

Helping others to the detriment of myself and people pleasing are my biggest challenges. A therapist is helping me to put myself first more. It's been a rough road! I am happier and less drained for doing the work but

I still have no idea if I am more like an INFP or INFJ, lots the caracteristics of both feel way too close to home, and watching the video of their differences seemed to make it worse to distinguish myself
