Imagine is apparently based on the stuff in Yoko's book Grapefruit. People say online she is INFP. Two INFPs together? Hmm. Not sure about that. Also not sure if the people typing John Lennon were aware that Imagine was based on Yoko's work. In year 8 one of our written get-to-know-you questions was "What is your most treasured possession?" or something like that. And I wrote "Happiness". I don't have absolute favourite things. I can't figure out if that is an INFP or INFJ response and it wasn't about careers either. I relate a lot to descriptions of both types but relate to the separate INFJ functions far more.

hell yeah.....im an INFJ, and ive been with my INFP wife for 18 years, and still seething with passion and desire for her. No other woman can even come close. ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍

My very best friend is an INFP. He is so kind, thoughtful, and brilliant. He makes me feel so comfortable and we always talk for hours about any and everything. Our friendship spans from the 9th grade to the present. I am now 28 years old. I am so fortunate to have him as a companion. I help him to realize and open up about his feelings and he is so nonjudgmental when I need to express myself. We are also both quirky and appreciate each other's weirdness. Great friends those INFPs. 🙂 (INFJ)

TheBittenBullet I’m an INFP. I’d say it depends. Would you judge someone if you knew they had hurt someone? Domestic abuse? Beating their children? Bullying and harassing others without remorse? Then yes, I would judge. I would also have some sort of understanding, because it’s never fun to be so angry, it hurts. Nonetheless, that sort of violence is horrible and I feel for the victims more than I do for the perpetrators. For others, who go through hardships, who are hurting, who are frustrated or angry, but are also able to have a capacity to understand they may be causing others hurt, then yes, they receive all the love and compassion I can give. For people I’m close to, it’s the same. I think it’s about the persons ability to feel remorse more than anything. It shows their human side and it’s hard not to give them your love.

The Bitten Bullet I’ve been listening for a while now and by that, I mean I’ve re-listened to many of the lectures too. Chase appears to me to be talking mostly using a framework and fills in with his understanding as he goes along, (I think he bullet points). As a result, the information that brings a particular type together for a listener is spread across different lectures. I’d say it’s a part of the charm. So, if you listen to the ‘Who are the INFP’ lecture he says that INFPs are ALWAYS judging everyone but that they will never admit it, or if they do it’s pretty unusual. I would, from my experience of having the honour of watching one very carefully over a number of years, would say that this is true - they will probably never admit that they do this, and possibly not even to themselves, (coz perhaps it’s immoral to always be judging everyone, right?) But just because they are judging you internally, and possibly at an even deeper level than that of their own conscious thoughts, doesn’t mean that they come across as continually judging you. As, (again in my experience and as far as I can tell), they tend to rationalise things that could could be issues because they trust you and you will not be judged harshly, ergo, will appear not to have been judged at all - and this decision occurs reflex fast - without even a flinch. However, if they stop trusting you, even temporarily - ha, ha... well, just try it and see what happens! At least, as I said before, this is how it appears to me.

My sister is an infp and we have a great relationship!

"Did you know the INFJ is more P than J?" "Did you know the INFJ is actually more T than F?" THIS right here, is why I mistyped as an INTP on the 16personalities test. I always felt that something wasn't sitting right, but spending time in the INTP forums across the internet and INTPs in real life made me realize I was NOT one of them. For a while I thought I was an ENTP because I knew my Fe was not inferior, but the rest of the personality didn't sit with me well. The entire time felt like I was constantly trying to convince myself I was using Ne and Ti in conjunction. Then I started spending time around an INTJ, and realized very quickly how lead Ni and Ne differ. Yeah, I use Ni, and after reading and listening more about how the functions truly work in their respective positions in the stack.. I finally get it. Even better, now that I have made the base understanding in myself, it's MUCH easier to understand other types. How the hell could I use invalid type knowledge that I misused on myself to type others? Trying that is absolutely ridiculous.

I’m an Entj and I have a few of those memories as well

I'm not done with the video yet, but I already love this. As an INFJ, I've seen how hanging around certain people greatly affects my own thoughts and behavior. I've experienced this "corruption" many many times. I currently have an INFP friend, and I feel like they genuinely do ground my principles. It's hard to explain. Even without them saying anything, it's clear that they're a very good person with relatively stable moral standards. Being around this somehow brings out the best in me as a friend and as a person in general. This relationship of an INFJ being the reality check and the INFP being the moral backbone is so accurate.

You're so right about the INFP and their ahem laziness. If I don't FEEL like going to school I'll skip school. It caused so much problems to the point where I had to transfer schools so I could graduate. I had to learn that having feelings are nice but they can't affect my work ethic. So I've been seeing counseling to help with more discipline. You criticizing the INFP did make me uncomfortable but as you said we need to be pushed out of our comfort zone. So I bucked up, tried to put my "I'm offended :0" feelings away, and listened to your words :)

So thank you for allowing me to realise! I think it may be because the INFJ is not a natural planner or organiser all the time so those INFJ's that value flexibility and dont plan their shit are probably testing as an INFP which I believe is a weakness of the MBTI test.

Why is this video more like 'compatibility' rather than differences? Like INTJ vs ISTJ was spot on!

I’ve been devouring as many of your videos as I can lately. It’s overstimulating and I love it. I’ve had this interesting phenomenon where I would meet people, have a conversation with them, and I would have a harder time remembering their face... But I would see that they are wearing an interesting object or article of clothing. Or maybe I would just see them on the street. I would see them again at the end of the day, or later in the night, and I would see the face but not too much would register. Then I would see the object, and I would immediately remember my interaction with the person and then remember who they were - simply because of their item. I’ve always wondered why I would remember objects more than people’s faces, and you have finally given me an answer. Thank you so much. You are amazing. I will continue to absorb your content.

I am such an infj. My uncle tried teaching me how to drive however I got major performance anxiety as a teenager so I couldn't learn because I had drove the car into a ditch while he was teaching me.

Yes the best way I learn is through observation, hands-on... and I prefer teaching myself things. I got bored in class frequently because I just wanted the syllabus given to me while I went about my way to learn.....learning is joyful to me especially when I figure out the why behind it

As an INFP who often goes into her ENFJ shadow, which I consider my “host mode,” I now know why I am so bad at making people feel comfortable. But I try so hard!

Hahaha awe! I kinda feel like this too sometimes 😅 at least we can sense the uncomfortableness!

I love watching your videos. Thank for taking the time to make them. You have helped me understand so much about myself and without intending to, have broken down my depression in a way in which I can understand it. I knew there was something wrong with me that would be off-putting to others but I never knew what it was. I can see now that I come off as a pushy, holier than thou, know it all and when I open my mouth to speak truth I can really tear someone down having the total opposite effect of what I initially intended. In all sincerity, even I can see why no one would want to be around that but interestingly enough was never actually able to pinpoint it as the reason to my loneliness. With this video you have also taught me why when I remained true to myself I was able to confidently stand alone until the right kind of people would come along and I’d let them into my world. Recently, I’d become so afraid of being lonely that I’d just let anyone into my circle even ignoring the promptings my intuition would give. As a result I’ve become burnt out, cranky, bitter and would just have the world crash and burn. Slowly, I’ve come to the decision to start weeding out ‘the losers’ out of my life (even if it means family) because I know I need to get back to that confident teenager who would have preferred to stand alone before letting just anyone be a part of her circle. This video just served as a confirmation. So thank you, a million times thank you! Please keep doing what you do because you never truly know how much it can mean to someone.

Delivery IS important. This is a fundemental lesson all human beings need to learn. Especially teachers. A good teacher is always learning. And learning how to speak to be heard by anyone is the hallmark of a good teacher and a mature person. So stop berating and belittling people who are serving as powerful tools for YOU to learn.

Thanks for another excellent lecture! I found it very informative and I know my INFP friend I recommended it to did as well. I always find it interesting when you talk about how INFJs are the most prone to having weird, rare health issues and then surviving and recovering as well as humanly possible due to willpower. I had exactly that experience when I had a heart attack due to badly blocked arteries at 36 with perfect cholesterol, blood pressure, and other typical warning signs. I was overweight, but the kind of overweight that would give you a heart attack in your mid-60s rather than mid-30s. Anyways, after having a heart attack for over 10 hours before surgery because my symptoms presented as back pain rather than chest pain, I was told that the odds of me having survived that long without treatment were like 1 in 100. While there was permanent damage as there always is with that sort of thing, I bounced back almost immediately and now three years later am in excellent health and able to work out heavily at the gym 5 days a week or more. The stuff you said about the Fi critic and forcing morals on others really hit home for me too as I know that is the worst aspect of my personality both for myself and in dealing with others sometimes. Also, on the Te Trickster/math thing, I remember when I took the SATs many years ago, I was recovering from mono and I forgot to take my calculator with me. I still managed to pull down a 770/800 on the math portion doing it mostly in my head so I definitely appreciated your views there. I hadn't realized that was a common INFJ thing.

Great video! The discussion about INFP being a judger and INFJ being a perceiver was really interesting. I mentioned this to my INFP friend and he totally agreed with it and said he always found that letter classification to be strange for him when he was first reading about type. Thanks, Chase 💪

Thank you I really needed this... Yes I am an infj and the struggle is real, you are a good mentor/ totam for me to bring me back to reality.. I really do alienate ppl I find it hard to convince ppl to do better for themselves and when I feel I'm losing the battle I criticize and alienate atomicly and regret it later. I have completely surprised myself how far I can go with it. I'm going to take your advice and look forward to more videos by you. Thanks again

SO you commented that some INFPs can be voluminous with their speech and some will be more silent until there’s something that affects them, or I’d add they feel passionately about something. This is great because it describes one of the differences between me and my son. We are both INFPs. My son can be so voluminous in his speech, even when he was young he loved using big words. In college, he took speech as a minor (art was his major) and of course he loves to wax philosophical and when he’s passionate, he talk circles around anyone, sometimes just baffleing them with BS! LOL. Me on the other hand, am the more quite reflective one, at least until I get passionate about something or I’m standing up for my values. One on one and in small groups I can get excited and gregarious about something, but the bigger the group, the quieter I get. My son, has become the go to person at work to give speeches and he can ad lib like nobody’s business. If he wasn’t such an awesome artist, he would have loved to pursue acting. Or even psychology or philosophy. I love studying psychology and theology.

Very insightful lecture. You are clearly well versed in MBTI. After watching this I have no doubt I am an INFJ. Also, your point regarding storing memories in people and objects is so true! I am guilty of door slamming due to painful memories, though I never realized that was my reasoning. I also store lots of memories in photographs and writing because I am very forgetful. I'd just like to add, my mom is an ENTP and it is a great type for an INFJ to have as a parent. She gives me the confidence and reality checks that I desperately need.

I swear I relate so well to most of the things you’ve said about both of these types. I’m so helplessly confused. I have stupid hands and run into doors all the time - but I’m always almost telepathically getting things for others before they even know they want it. I talk in the low, quiet voice; but I’m also lazy as hell. I’m surrounded by shitty family, but I know I’m active and organized when I’m healthy. Lost

Based on your comment, you seem more Infp, but I suggest using the type grid over using my observation, I’m no expert. The thing that helped the most was being brutally honest about myself and really listening to feedback from others, no matter how hard it is to hear it. Hope that helps!

Ren WannaBe The main question I asked was: Am I really what I think I am? What do I hear other people say about me, even when it’s hard for me to admit to myself? I started to pay attention to what people were really saying, when they weren’t trying to make me feel good. Weirdly, criticism was more helpful in pinning down my type, even though it is not something I’ve historically taken very well, as I try so hard with people. People kept complaining about me keeping to myself, being a “stranger” and not initiating enough with them. They were looking for me to be someone I wasn’t. I initiate, because it’s what they ask of me, but it takes me outside my comfort zone. I also spent a lot of time trying to make other people comfortable; I have no poker face and it made people uncomfortable, so I plastered on a stupid smile, because it’s what people kept telling me to do. I rarely do anything I want, mostly I do what I feel obliged to do. I’m a terrible people pleaser, meaning I almost always ask permission. I am accused of being too sensitive, and I definitely can be. I am always getting myself into scrapes, bruises and spills, no matter how careful I am. I’ve been stupid zoned for not paying attention to the most basic actions. I struggle with being comfortable vs. dressing well. People always seem to think I need help or ask me if I’m lost. From those observations, I determined I was responding and affiliative with higher Si and lower Se. All my life, people have complained about how slow I am and how long it takes me to do anything, so I knew I couldn’t be movement, I had to be control. For a while I was stuck between Isfj and Infp, since all feedback pointed to those 2 types. I admit, it took a while to narrow it down to Infp. It all came down to noticing other people’s reactions during conversations. When I am at ease, I will introduce abstraction into conversations, but if I know it will baffle people, I make an effort to remain concrete. I don’t think I would have to do that if I were Isfj, therefore I concluded I was Infp. For me, a lot of it had to do with what took extra effort vs. what took no effort. I hope this helps, my answers are not always as direct as many would like.

You are doing a good and honest job. I don't always agree with your ways of saying things, but I can see that you are sincere. Mental hug from me.

I absolutely made the mistake of being too understanding and slowly found myself becoming a doormat and/or verbal punching bag. It was very hard for me to reach the point where I simply couldn’t take it anymore. When I did I began my own path to self-healing using your videos, others, articles, the latest studies, etc it was only then that I began to believe in myself again. And the long marriage I had stubbornly remained in, suddenly became far less scary than before. I can’t claim to be fully ’on the other side’ but for the first time in quite awhile I can finally breath. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others. They have absolutely played a role in the getting me this far along. Please know how very grateful I am, even if it’s tough love. For some we need it. Only then I was able to get myself out of my comfort zone and set fire to my life.

The description of yourself (recovering guilt................) ...that is me. :)

Is it common for an INFJ to have great fashion sense but "dress down" in a weird false humility- like "Oh, the expensive clothes are so superfluous. I can't bring myself to spend money on myself-- But I SO WANT TO!" Or depending on the people around, sometimes I feel like wearing the things I like make them feel inferior. So I am always scoping out the crowd before I go somewhere to avoid that...

Thank you. This is spot-on. Really got a lot out of what you said about memory, and memory totem. WOW!

Wow, this was incredibly insightful.

I love how cohesive their relationship is and how well they fit with each other.

(INFP here, as proven once again by your test 😉) I disagree with the slow driving point, at least in my case; what I despise the most is 'Sunday drivers' kind of approach. I love sporty driving, being in the flow of it, going confidently, treating speed limits 'more like guidelines'. But at the same time being smart and responsible about it, leaving a margin for error, thinking ahead and always staying alert. Also being polite towards everybody on and off the road.

Love it! As an INFJ, so much resonated. Except for the whisper voice. ha And I totally agree with allowing people the space to think ‘in their heads’-I’m a teacher and see so much bullshit done at school that has nothing to do with real learning. Your son has an excellent advocate. :)

I had a similar problem for many years as an INFJ who was mistyped as INFP. I'll share with you something that helped me know for *sure* I was an INFJ and not INFP. Sometimes it's the shadow functions and unconscious functions that reveal the truth. In your last argument/issue with someone, how did you feel? Did you feel that you were emotionally 'right' and frustrated that the other person couldn't see your point of view or did you feel more confused/panicked that you may have been wrong in your assessment and go to others for validation and advice? This exercise is especially useful if it was a matter of the heart/feelings. Which resonates more?

Sorry to comment before I watch the video, but: I got into Jung/MBTI stuff 5 years ago just before I met my now INFJ wife (I'm an INFP male) and the knowledge of our differing types has helped us better understand ourselves and our differing personal needs throughout the years.

Like dreamweaver said below. I love it when you yell at me too. This was super helpful! Thank you for all of the time and effort you have put into making these videos.

I'm an INFJ and my sister is an INFP. Literally everything in this video is so spot on, save for just one thing. My sister is absolutely not the one who has to step in and warn me about consequences, its the complete reverse. She will have these ADHD hyper fits and let her emotions completely take her over without thinking of consequences whatsoever (for example she'll get her feelings hurt and try to run away from home or something), and I'm the sister who usually has to step in and tell her she's being illogical, and try to make her think of the consequences. On another note, INFJs being more T than F is a good point, used to think I was ENTP and INTJ for years, and got typed INTP by sooo many people online. I often feel like my Ti child hurts me in a lot of ways though and I often wish I were a Te/Fi user. I get EXTREMELY insecure and hype fixate on my appearance on a regular basis (Se inferior), and when people try to comfort me about my insecurities (by sugar coating, giving me online statistics, giving me solutions or products that I know won't work), I just instantly cut straight thru all their bullshit despite how little I want to. I feel like living a lie can be helpful sometimes, but I just can't do that as a Ti child, Te trickster, my bullshit alarm would just go on hyperalert and throw the rose colored glasses right off.

INFP: Yeah my fashion sense is definitely learned (although i don't like copying look for look i like to switch shit up and base it on what I like personally). I feel like with television, film, social media it's pretty easy for me to gain a certain mastery over trends and making nice outfits. Although, in elementary school I mostly just wanted to wear t-shirts and jeans/shorts, much to the chagrin of my ISFJ mother (obsessed w appearances). Ik in high school I was widely considered to be pretty fashionable. But, then I got to college and stopped caring about what others thought about how I looked (especially when it got cold bc sweatpants are the most comfortable in the winter) and now I'm kind of a mixture of my childhood self and my adolescent self when it comes to fashion.

thank you for the videos from the bottom of my heart. for years i thought that i was an infp because of the mbti tests. i needed to look back before i went to my self improvement saga. to know that i am really an infj. your lectures helped me a lot with my introspection.

Your INFJ lecture was actually spot on perfect; it was like you were reading from my user manual.

damnit I'm still an INFJ

I am definitely guilty of the door slam, it’s my last resort. I also now understand why I feel pain when there’s any physical separation in any treasured relationship of mine - it’s as if the other person is now dead in my world if I don’t see or talk to them for a while. Thank you Chase

Love your videos. You definitely have a gift for communicating the concepts

Im an infp and I started watching your videos and it have made every thing so clear to me. I belive it is the lack of Ti in my life that was my biggest problem. My best friend is an entp and has been helpful and is nice to talk to but is not a good source of Ti. I belive I supplemented this with the internet (hence me finding your youtube Chanel) but this had lead to have problems with my Se trickster and be asorbed into the online environment and will spend hours watching videos (watched you till 5 in the morning). I have had thoughts and feeling throughout my life that I can only now identify with the vocab you provided me. Thank you.

On point. This is why I think typing via temperament/interaction style works best as you say. For a while I couldn't figure out my friend's type. I knew that we are both idealists, but it was her interaction style (as well as clear se inferior traits) that gave her away.

Haha. 76 comments in one day. INFP/Js are probably the most you tubers out there. Thanks for mentioning quantum physics. Much appreciated. As an INFP I wish I could find an INFJ friend. I do need reality checks and can be lazy.

This video is a great explanation of the INFJ vs INFP. I also watched the virtue and vice of INFJs as well. It was extremely touching! You mentioned some things in both videos that I as an INFJ am still a bit confused about: use Ti to bring truth and constructive criticism, don’t put high morals onto others, cutting the “losers”, and be with those who have high morals (ENFPs & INFPs). I’ve used Ti to bring truth to people but isn’t that the same as putting my high morals onto them/correcting their behaviors? I’ve also had many ENFPs manipulate and hurt me deeply, influencing me in very negative ways. I’ve confronted them (perhaps with my Ti?) but they never seem to change. They just kept running me over and justified their actions. In that case, I did cut the “losers” out but then again you mentioned ENFPs have high morals. *scratching head They just seem to contradict one another. I wish there was a video made to explain these explanations more clearer!

Love the video (even though it was a little aggro at times and clear that maybe you were drawing excessively from personal experience instead of on a broad level.) I appreciate all of your effort and insights!

Confirmation bias may have played a large part in my own mistyping. Every single online test I ever took had typed me Infj. Not accessing any knowledge beyond the usual mbti sites, I thought, “I guess this is who I am.” But the information just seemed fluffy, like a daily newspaper astrology reading, almost anyone could relate to some of it. I thought, “there’s got to be more to this”. After watching a bunch of videos, that still didn’t answer any questions, this channel appeared as a suggestion. It was unlike any other, giving a real life insight into types, not just scratching the surface, but going right to the heart of things. My first attempt at using the type grid, I typed Istj. I knew I was some sort of responding affiliative, but that’s all I really knew. My one hiccup, all along, has been thinking I am direct, when actually, I am informative. I also originally thought I was systematic, because of how much I prefer to order and organize and categorize, filing and listing, etc. But, as I kept watching and learning, I noticed many people didn’t get my communication style, because I am by default, abstract, and I have to expend some energy to remain concrete in my communication. So, I reverted back to thinking I was Infj. What really kept bugging me, however, was how much-in my past life, and even now-I have heard I do things on my time. I don’t naturally move quickly, I am like a turtle, progressing, but slowly. I also don’t tend to respond immediately. I like to think first. And minimalist answers are sometimes all people get, which is one of the reasons I thought I was direct. The more I really paid attention to the observations and criticisms of others, I realized I saw myself much differently than they did. I realized I’m not a movement type, I’m a control type. Eventually, I narrowed myself down to everything I knew for sure: responding, affiliative, abstract, control. The only type who can be all four of these, primarily, is Infp. Informative post over, congratulations if you made it through to the end :)

I am at awe! I feel loved by you because you tell me the truth without mincing words. And as an INFJ I had a very difficult time in math because while taking an algebra exam, I knew the answer but could not show my work. The teacher thought I cheated because there was no way, he said, to get the correct answer without implying several formulas. My self esteem was destroyed and I never took another math class. I began to think I coincidentally guessed the correct answer. Thank you for setting me straight! I am now 52 and just learning about myself. And I believe God is blessing me with an INFP who is offering me what no one has ever been able to give me, and that is loyalty. But like you said, I cannot alienate those whose goals and aspirations are not to acquire wisdom and integrity just because they are mine. I need to lead by example without expectation or without the need to expect people to follow a certain particular way of arriving where we all need to be. As long as at the end the math problem is solved, that’s what matters!!!! I love you and I respect you, and I will keep you as a most valuable tool for sharpening my sword. Please don’t ever stop what you are doing. We INFJ’s need you.

I'm new to this channel and am floored by this lecture. The "INFJ doorslam". I need to look into this because it hit close. When I shut someone off, pictures are erased, material reminders are tossed, movies, music (sometimes foods) are avoided. My problem is, I'd jump to conclusions after breaks in pattern and assume the person will hurt me. Then they too are "doorslammed". Also "verifying". This makes sense. Youre very very right and I dont want to lose the current love of my life because I assumed (that word is the bane of my existence) he's lost interest based on breaks in patterns. He is the only person that i havent alienated at this point. I have to learn to open my mouth and verify and master it for all relationships with family, coworkers, etc. Im willing to try. I could write a report on this lecture, but I won't here. Made a mini report tho, sorry about that.

Your content is great. My best friend in high school was an entp, and this is one of the reasons I loved her. She would always help me to think about things in a way I never thought about before. I think being friends her helped me develop my thinking side, and now, I can think analytically about all kinds of things and make better decisions. Im an infp btw.
