INFP Paradoxes: 5 Contradicting Quirks of the INFP Personality

April 10, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

The INFP personality is noted as an introvert who is receptive, sincere, imaginative and highly sensitive. These types are preoccupied with moral values, self identity, and personal fulfillment. They are also fond of romance and cherish the bonds they manage to form with people who understand and value them for who they are.

One of the quirks about the INFP is their seemingly paradoxical traits. Here is a look at 5 contrasting qualities of the INFP personality type.

1. INFPs Have Strong Values Yet Struggle to Make Everyday Decisions.

INFPs develop their own value system and tend to form thoughtful views on fairness, morality and meaning. As intuitive perceivers, they have a natural openness and awareness of possibilities and alternatives. When it comes to practical matters however, their openness to alternatives and possible options can make it difficult for them to make a choice. They can struggle between their head and their heart and place more pressure on themselves than is necessary. Sometimes, it is because they can imagine so many pros and cons, or because they are worried about what other people will think, or because they fear making a bad decision and missing out on a better one.

2. INFPs Swing From Apathetic Indifference to Passionate Determination.

INFPs can be very negligent about some things but super perfectionistic about others. When INFPs aren’t “feeling it”, they are not inclined to do very much to mask their indifference or put on pretenses. They often need a special feeling or meaningful sense of purpose to ignite their engines. INFPs strive to be in a position where they have some sense of control and get to do what really matters to them. When they do decide to go for something, they really go for it but only if they feel emotionally invested or inspired to do so. Otherwise, much of the time, they can appear detached, lackadaisical and bored.

3. INFPs Care About People But Often Avoid Contact With Them.

INFPs long for meaningful connection with others but can make it difficult for others to get close to them. INFPs enjoy helping and being with people but typically on meaningful terms. They try to avoid awkward and uncomfortable interactions and sometimes they just rather savor their alone time. Although they enjoy spending time with the people they care about, their social bandwidth is limited. INFPs are similar to cats in that they can be very affectionate when they want to be while at other times elusive and private. Because of their sensitivity, they sometimes need to withdraw and give themselves time to recollect and recharge their social batteries.

4. INFPs Can Often Feel Sad Even While They are Happy.

INFPs can experience a lot of mixed emotions and moods making them feel conflicted. Although they may feel more strongly in one way or another, there are a lot of subtleties that make it complicated for them to always express with words. INFPs cherish the things that bring them happiness while being ever-aware of their transience. They are especially aware of the bittersweet gift of what it is to live life and experience love knowing that it will not last forever. INFP writers and artists are especially good at capturing the nuance of the human experience and articulating in their own way some of the emotional struggles that many people can relate to.

5. INFPs Seek An Ideal Partner But Are Often Drawn to Toxic Ones.

INFP’s idealism and ability to see the good in almost anyone can sometimes blind them from recognizing the unsavory reality. INFPs tend to entertain romantic notions of love and fantasize wistfully about the perfect person they’d like to share their life with. For them, that ideal can be very abstract and maybe unrealistic. Like other empathic types however, INFPs can become enamored with toxic people masquerading as Mr. or Ms. Perfect. Even when the dream has turned into a nightmare, INFPs can become so attached to whatever good qualities the person might have that they become too tolerant of the bad stuff. INFPs can sometimes become a victim of their own optimism, driven by a noble crusade to help or save people who ultimately will never change and only manipulate and exploit them.

ISTJ Myers Briggs

ISTJ Shadow: The Dark Side of ISTJ

April 3, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

The shadow is a concept introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. The shadow represents the unconscious, repressed aspects of our psyche that are rejected by the conscious ego. For each MBTI type, the cognitive functions they consist of represent perspectives and preferences that are embraced by the conscious ego. These preferences and perspectives explain a lot of our personality behavior and tendencies.

The shadow encompasses perspectives that are not included in the cognitive stack of our MBTI type. Carl Jung’s conception of the shadow was mostly relegated to the inferior function which he believed served as the gateway to the shadow. jungian analyst, John Beebe later conceptualized the shadow in terms of archetypes associated with the cognitive functions not included in the main cognitive stack.

There are 8 cognitive functions but since only 4 of them are included in each MBTI type, Beebe reasoned that the remaining 4 must constitute a kind of shadow type. In the case of ISTJ, those functions would be Se, Ti, Fe, and Ni. Therefore, the shadow type of the ISTJ is ESTP. Here is a look at the ISTJ shadow functions and how they manifest.

ISTJ 5th Function: Se Opposing

ISTJ’s 1st shadow function and 5th function overall, is Extraverted Sensing. ISTJ’s shadow Se typically emerges in response to what they perceive as an attack on their dominant Si perspective. When a type feels their dominant function is being opposed or obstructed by a function in the opposite attitude, they can become stubborn about it. They subsequently may then use that opposing shadow function to defend the dominant while also projecting a negative shadow persona onto the opposing person.

For ISTJ, this may play out as a response to having their foundation of facts, details and points of reference being invalidated or challenged by current or newly emergent sensory data. ISTJs may resist anything that significantly interferes or disrupts their established routine and personal paradigm of how things are supposed to be and what works best for them. They are apt to dismiss many unexpected and sudden upheavals as transient fads and inferior or impractical versions of the original status quo. ISTJs may then use their shadow Se to further support and justify the integrity of their Si perspective. They may argue against the Se perspective as being risky, irresponsible and likely to fail.

ISTJ 6th Function: Ti Critical Parent.

ISTJ’s 2nd shadow function is Ti Critical Parent. The Critical Parent function is a negative, critical version of the auxiliary function. The auxiliary function represents a way in which we nurture both ourselves and others. The auxiliary informs and supports the dominant function and we cultivate a sense of authority around our use of it. The Critical Parent shadow function emerges as a disgruntled response to the authority of the auxiliary function being undermined or taken for granted.

In the case of the ISTJ, they become critical in response to having the authority of their Extraverted Thinking negated or taken for granted. External logic, the way they organize and operate systems and tasks is something they have worked to develop proficiency and capability with. ISTJs are keen on upholding external standards and methods that are effective and proven to work. When those methods and strategies are called into question or cast under a critical light, the ISTJ may become defensive and go on the attack via their shadow Ti perspective. Under such conditions, the ISTJ may proceed to criticize others for the reasoning they use. They may use subjective logic principles to refute and dismiss the logic of the other person.

ISTJ 7th Function: Fe Trickster.

The 3rd ISTJ shadow function and 7th function overall is Extraverted Feeling. The 7th function is known as the Trickster and it is the shadow of the tertiary function. The trickster function emerges in response to threats of punishment or dealing with someone who arouses a desire to get revenge or turn the tables and cause humiliation. The trickster function tries to “double bind” the other person in response to feeling double bound.

ISTJs have Extraverted Feeling as their trickster function. Therefore, in response to having their tertiary Fi perspective of what is good or bad, right or wrong, oppressed or ridiculed by a person, especially those with some type of authority over them, ISTJ may look for ways to turn the situation on its head. Fe trickster uses social rules and standards to expose the hypocrisy or foolishness of those who espouse them. They attempt to scare the other person with potential social rejection and condemnation due to “misbehavior” on their part.

ISTJ 8th Function: Ni Demon.

Finally, we have ISTJ’s last shadow function, Ni Demon. The Demon function is a last ditch attempt to defend the moral integrity of the ego as expressed through the dominant function. The Demon Function is also described as an “internal saboteur” or “bad object”. It is associated with paranoia and possibly misplaced notions of evil attributed to people perceived as a threat. Normally, ISTJs prefer to be practical and use common sense. Due to their inferior Ne, ISTJs are generally skeptical about creative alternatives and possibilities because much of it sounds suspicious, risky and “iffy” to them.

For ISTJ, Ni Demon represents an underlying curiosity about implicit meanings and potential consequences. Introverted Intuition in the Demon role however, leans toward interpretations of a negative and dire variety. Under stress induced by a breakdown or failure of their dominant Si perspective and an inability of their inferior Ne to compensate for it, ISTJs may turn to conspiracy-mongering and doom-and-gloom predictions. ISTJ’s Ni Demon leads them to uncharacteristically espouse claims that are unsubstantiated and wildly speculative. ISTJ may desperately leap to conclusions to fill in the blanks that their Introverted Sensing was unable to.

INFJ INFP

INFP vs INFJ: 5 Features That Set Them Apart

April 2, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

As introverted idealists, the INFP and INFJ share many similarities. They are both introverted, abstract and imaginative. They also share a stronger regard for their humanity than for technical knowledge and cold logic. Because they are both INFX types, they appear very similar but in fact share none of the same cognitive functions. Each of their perceiving and judging functions are opposite in orientation. INFP has introverted feeling while INFJ uses extraverted feeling. INFP uses extraverted intuition while INFJ employs introverted intuition.

Temperament-wise, these two types have a lot in common but they also have distinct differences. Here is a breakdown of the INFP and INFJ personality types and what sets them apart from one another.

1. INFPs focus more on divergent possibilities While INFJ looks for convergent meanings.

The nature of INFP’s Ne vs. INFJ’s Ni encompasses different forms of abstract thinking. INFPs are prone to use their intuition by extracting from the real world, spontaneous ideas and inspirations. When they engage with the world, the feelings it draws out of them sparks and ignites their creative engine. INFPs are apt to be more open to many possibilities and meanings rather than commit to any one true answer or interpretation.

INFJs by contrast, rely on their intuition to deliver insight about the deeper meaning behind what they perceive. INFJs are more focused on gaining a holistic perspective that allows them to more accurately understand what is going on, what significance it has and what it means for the future. Additionally, INFJs are more in tune with the unconscious symbolism of their dreams and the recognition of various patterns.

2. INFP’s Develop a More Subjective Moral Sense and Value System than the INFJ.

Compared with the INFJ, INFPs are more selective about what they choose to care about. They are inclined to define for themselves what is good or bad according to what feels right to them personally. Their reasoning doesn’t have to be entirely rational and may often appear arbitrary or self-serving. They could just as easily espouse a philosophy of unconditional love and forgiveness or a vindictive “eye for an eye” lust for vengeance. INFPs lean away from conventional wisdom and prevailing group sentiments that don’t resonate with their subjective ideals. Furthermore, they strive to be authentic and to explore their own feelings as a source of moral truth and spiritual guidance. Although they are empathetic, sensitive and receptive, INFPs resist allowing other people to control or dictate what is best for them.

INFJs tend to weigh the feelings and needs of others more heavily in their decision-making and rationale. External social and interpersonal factors are taken into deeper consideration. The INFJ’s value system is more collaborative and integrated with the people around them. They therefore are more apt to adjust themselves when needed, in order to understand and relate to others. INFJs are keen on enriching others with their insights and knowledge. Many are attracted to teaching roles as an opportunity to play a hand in the cultivation of human potential. A personal sense of obligation and responsibility to others underscores the moral values that INFJs promote. INFJs are inclined to often focus more on the wellbeing of others than themselves.

3. INFJ Has More Analytical Tendencies Than The INFP.

INFJs have tertiary Introverted Thinking which represents a penchant for thinking things through logically. INFJs use a subjectively developed logical framework to inform their decisions aside from their Extraverted Feeling. They are less inclined than the INFP to rely on arbitrary whims and feelings to guide their judgement. They instead prefer some form of logical consistency and objective truth to guide and hold themselves to. When immersed in their own introverted world, INFJs are apt to spend a lot of time pondering theories and analyzing how something works or trying to prove or disprove the veracity of some idea or notion. INFJs have intuitions that they often try to parse out and make sense of logically.

4. INFPs Have a Stronger, Visual Memory.

INFPs have tertiary Introverted Sensing which indicates a capacity for retaining specific details and remembering things for a long time. Compared with the INFJ, INFPs may have a stronger attachment to the past. Because of their dominant feeling function, they are inclined to especially hold onto memories that carry emotional significance. Their storied personal history is likely to follow them and sometimes haunt them throughout life. If it is tainted with negative and painful experiences, INFPs may become increasingly withdrawn and private because of it. However, because they are so able to access and relive the feelings and visual imagery associated with those memories, it may also enhance the realism and vivid details channeled through their art and creative endeavors.

5. INFJs are Subconsciously attracted to Extraverted Sensors While INFPs are drawn to Extraverted Thinkers.

INFJ has inferior Extraverted Sensing and INFP has inferior Extraverted Thinking. The inferior functions of these types indicate areas they are likely to neglect in themselves but subconsciously appreciate in others who utilize them well. For INFJ, the candid and exciting spirit displayed by ESTPs and ESFPs is likely to hold a certain allure. Extraverted Sensing represents something INFJs don’t feel naturally adept at and subconsciously, may try to compensate for this in the people they become enamored with. INFJs themselves tend to be more picky and discriminating about the substance and quality of what they observe which can make them seem slightly pretentious in their tastes.

INFPs for their part, have a subconscious attraction to Extraverted Thinking. INFP’s conscious ego centers on a preference and focus on inner control. Additionally, they feel most comfortable wielding control over the subjective realm of personal potential and moral truth. INFPs feel less adept in the quantitative, objective world of systems and crystallized structure. Personality types like the ESTJ, and ENTJ who use Te naturally and comfortably are likely to appear enticing to INFP on a subconscious level. Such people may be appealing on account of the INFP’s unconscious Te aspirations to cultivate technical proficiency and also support and incorporate their Fi values into functional and fruitful enterprises.

ESFP Myers Briggs

ESFP Shadow: The Dark Side of the ESFP

March 26, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

Each of the 16 Myers Briggs personality types represent a package of cognitive functions that together form a portrait of a conscious ego identity. The functions that constitute our MBTI type encapsulate the conscious preferences and perspectives that help explain and inform our behavior and tendencies. There is also an unconscious side of our personality that is repressed. This theoretical side of ourselves is known as the shadow and encompasses the things we reject and disassociate from our ego identity.

Carl Jung originally conceptualized the shadow as a feature of the inferior function. He believed the inferior function was the gateway to the shadow. Jungian analyst John Beebe, later described the shadow in terms of cognitive function archetypes. By inverting the attitude (the introverted or extraverted preference) of each cognitive function of a particular type, you get the shadow version of that type. For the ESFP, their shadow would therefore be the ISFJ. The shadow type represents perspectives that are ego-dystonic which is to say, they clash with or obstruct the ego identity.

The important thing to understand is that the shadow is a part of us and can manifest as negative projections we unduly impose on others. Being aware of the shadow can help us manage disruptive and destructive parts of our psyche that we may not even realize are happening. Here now is a look at the ESFP shadow functions and how they manifest in their personality.

ESFP 5th Function: Si Opposing

The ESFPs 1st shadow function is Si Opposing. The opposing function emerges in response to the dominant function being obstructed or opposed. Extraverted Sensing is the ESFPs dominant preference. This means they approach life with an openness to new and stimulating experiences. Se is all about living in the moment and engaging with their environment. Introverted Sensing on the other hand is focused on experience stored in memory. It relies heavily on past precedent and favors things of historical and traditional significance. Si prefers that which is familiar and routine over the risky and unpredictable.

When the ESFP’s dominant Se perspective feels obstructed or opposed by Si-related perspectives, ESFPs may become oppositional. Their preference for freedom to improvise and operate on instinct can feel encumbered and heavily restricted by an Si emphasis on rote memorization and adherence to procedure. They may become frustrated and impatient when they feel such rules and step-by-step procedures are slowing them down or holding them back in some way. ESFP’s shadow Si is used to defend and justify their dominant Se perspective while projecting an antagonistic Si persona onto the person obstructing them. They may argue against them for being “old fashioned”, “boring” or “narrow-minded”. Additionally, they may bring up things about the past that undermine the other person and support ESFP’s Se viewpoint about the present.

ESFP 6th Function: Fe Critical Parent

ESFP’s 2nd shadow function and 6th function overall, is Fe Critical Parent. The critical parent function represents how we sometimes defend the authority of our auxiliary function also referred as the “good parent”. The auxiliary function supports and affirms the dominant function and for extraverted types like ESFP, it describes the nature of their introverted side. ESFP’s auxiliary introverted feeling signifies their humane and personal sense of values. ESFPs use their introverted feeling to nurture and mentor both themselves and others. They have a sense of idealism and self belief that has the power to encourage and inspire.

Fe critical parent on the other hand, describes the way in which ESFP may tear down or demoralize others when they feel cranky or disgruntled. Typically in response to having the authority of their Fi personal values being undermined or taken for granted by what they perceive as standardized group values that don’t represent them as an individual. Under such conditions, ESFPs may use their shadow Fe to assert their moral authority upon others. They may also chastise others for disrupting social harmony while ironically disrupting it themselves. Fe critical parent manifests as a bit of defensive moral grandstanding and shaming others when they feel guilty about disobeying group standards and values.

ESFP 7th Function: Ti Trickster

ESFP’s 3rd shadow function and 7th function overall is Introverted Thinking. This is the shadow side of their tertiary Extraverted Thinking. The tertiary function is described as a “relief role” and backup to the auxiliary function with which it works in tandem. The tertiary function also describes alternative ways in which we like to be creative and have fun. Thus, when they have time for it, ESFPs derive some fun and ego gratification from organizing their environment and doing technical planning. As with other types, ESFPs may sometimes overestimate or “inflate” the strength of their tertiary Te function as being equal to the dominant or auxiliary Te function of other types.

Ti Trickster is a response to feeling “double-bound” and threatened by another person’s Ti logic. When another person finds flaws or pokes holes in the way ESFP organizes or structures things, it can arouse ESFP’s shadow Ti. ESFPs may feel confused or emotionally wounded when someone essentially points out the stupidity of how or why they organized things the way they did. ESFPs will therefore attempt to use individual reference to invalidate the other person’s logic and turn the tables on them. ESFPs may use specious logic just to trap and make the other person appear stupid.

ESFP 8th Function: Ne Demon

Finally, we have ESFP’s 4th shadow function, Ne Demon. The Demon function is the most suppressed area of consciousness. It is referred to as an “internal saboteur” and manifests as an exaltation of one’s own integrity via the cognitive function that inhabits it. In the case of the ESFP, creativity and openness to new ideas becomes a narcissistic basis for their own ego worth. At the same time, they impute evil intent behind others’ words and deeds. In response to feeling befuddled by other’s abstract observations and conceptualizations, it is suspected that the other person is deliberately taking advantage of this. ESFPs may then overread between the lines, so to speak, and attribute negative intent where none was intended.

INFJ INTJ Myers Briggs

INFJ vs INTJ: Differences and Similarities

March 25, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

The INFJ and INTJ are similar with regard to their penchant for abstract thinking and exploring the deeper meaning and significance of what’s happening around and within themselves. They are forward thinking and tend to make carefully planned decisions with a future goal or purpose in mind. INFJ and INTJ both share a strong vision of what they want out of life and are compelled to invest in their future and to embark on a meaningful and largely self-reliant path to success however they define it.

The INFJ and INTJ differ in their auxiliary functions and this informs how they use their dominant introverted intuition. Due to their auxiliary Extraverted Thinking, INTJ is more concerned with intuiting about impersonal technical matters. They are more interested in working with systems and information that can be acted upon. They like to leverage and devise technical strategies and methods for achieving their goals and objectives.

INFJ by contrast has Extraverted Feeling, which renders a stronger interest in people and society than in technology and data systems. They are curious about what makes themselves and others tick. They are prone towards psychoanalysis and the exercise of trying to figure people out. They often try to empathize and put themselves in other people’s shoes in order to gain perspective about them and their motivations. Despite their independently introverted nature, INFJ is also disposed towards helping and catering to other’s needs and wishes. INFJs have a stronger interest in pleasing others than the INTJ. Moreover, the INFJ can become a mirror of their environment. Their empathetic nature often causes them to adopt and reflect back the energy and feelings that others express.

INTJ’s feeling function is introverted which means that relative to the INFJ, INTJs develop a more personalized set of moral values according to their own sensibilities. This can make them unapologetically contrarian and less willing to sacrifice their personal values in order to oblige others. With tertiary Introverted Feeling, INTJs consult their own feelings and draw their own conclusions when it comes to matters of moral and personal significance. They are more inclined to give advice than to take it from others. However, INTJs generally recognize and support an individual’s right to make their own decisions and deal with the consequences.

INTJs prefer to keep emotion out of their decision process but may often feel the need to reflect and reassess what is and isn’t important for them and prune away the things in their life that are draining their energy and happiness. They are outwardly decisive and self-assured in their opinions. They prefer to be direct but can sometimes come across as insensitive. INFJs on the other hand are disposed towards diplomacy and tact in how they approach others. The INFJ man or woman is ever-cognizant of the effect their words and actions may have on others.

INFJs use introverted thinking as opposed to the extraverted thinking that INTJs use. INFJs therefore, are inclined to also think critically and cultivate technical understanding about why and how things work. Their intellectual curiosity is often directed towards social and psychological areas. INFJs find it rewarding when they can help people directly through acts of service, teaching, advice and friendship. INFJs would like to perform the role of a sage who is valued for their insight, perspective and counsel.

Although INFJs harbor a sense of individuality, they also want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Community and group consensus are important to them and something they strive to preserve. INFJs are more comfortable with the language of feeling and emotion and are generally more effective than INTJ at reading people and identifying with them. They aim to understand, instruct and inspire others. INTJs for their part are more concerned about understanding and managing their own world. Their own proficiency is their priority and they can be impatient and critical of perceived incompetence in others. They however, also enjoy sharing information on matters in which they feel they wield intellectual authority.

INTJs tend to develop a firmer and more defined sense of who they are and what they want. INFJs by contrast, find it harder to really sort out their own personal feelings. Although they are good at reading others, INFJs can feel they have a lesser grasp on why they do and feel certain things. Because they are so attuned to the feelings and attitudes of others, they can easily lose sight of their own personal issues and laden themselves with the weight of other people’s emotional baggage as though it were INFJ’s burden to bear.

INFJs on the whole, are inclined to display greater tolerance, empathy and quiet warmth towards others. They are active listeners who genuinely care about what people are thinking and feeling. INFJs tend to feel a vested interest in the plight and problems of other people. They are keen on offering support and encouragement and attending to their emotional and physical wellbeing. INTJs present themselves as more objectivistic and emotionally detached. Although INTJ emotions may show through in their face and behavior, they differ from INFJs in that their personal feelings are more resistant to being influenced or affected by those of others.

INFP INTP Myers Briggs

INTP vs INFP Similarities and Differences

March 16, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

INTP vs. INFP

Ti and Fi dom types like the INTP and INFP personality types are similar with regard to the personalized and independent way in which they think and make decisions. However, sometimes the lines distinguishing their “T” and “F” preferences can seem blurry. Despite what their type might suggest, some INFPs may enjoy and perform well in technical fields generally recommended for types with a “thinking” preference. Alternately, INTPs can also harbor an interest in matters specifically related to morality, authenticity and their sense of identity.

Introverted Feeling vs. Introverted Thinking.

INFPs lead with dominant Introverted Feeling and INTPs lead with dominant Introverted Thinking. Introverted Feeling is described as a judging preference that emphasizes personal values and what “feels” right to the individual. It emphasizes originality, authenticity, romance and humanity. It tends to incorporate moralistic ideals and personal feelings in discerning what is and isn’t important.

Introverted Thinking on the other hand, is a judging preference that prioritizes “rationality”. It is concerned with cultivating its own understanding and mastery of concepts and principles. It strives for independence, logical consistency, clarity, knowledgeability and sound reasoning. It is more interested in abstract logic than human sentiment. Ti and Fi are similar in that they both facilitate a sense of “internal order”, self-awareness and insight to its user. INTPs and INFPs are both concerned with managing and protecting their sense of agency and control over their own personal purviews.

The dominant and inferior functions in each type represent two parts of a whole. The dominant function is developed and displayed more consciously and conspicuously while the inferior tends to manifest as an afterthought or subconscious motivation. In the case of INTP, their dominant Ti represents a preoccupation with developing self-reliance and self-mastery while de-emphasizing the importance of social participation and human relationships. Ti-based activity takes priority while Fe-related endeavors often go neglected and viewed as a waste of time for the INTP.

Ti seeks to build an accurate and comprehensive mental model of the world for the sake of understanding it. INTP’s inferior Extraverted Feeling can foster a secondary goal of helping people using the knowledge and know-how they’ve developed with Ti. Although they resist sacrificing their sense of independence and autonomy at the altar of group solidarity or burdensome responsibility to others, INTPs may temporarily compromise their Ti priorities if it helps avoid conflict or improve interpersonal relations.

Thus, the feeling judgment that INTPs utilize is more communal and collective in nature than that of the INFP. INFP’s introverted feeling is less concerned with catering to others in the general sense and more invested in things and people on an intimate level. They are more narrowly focused on what is personally meaningful and important to them. Because they tend to be somewhat reserved about their feelings, INFPs can appear less emotional than they really are. Because their feeling judgment is introverted, they tend to internalize much of what they are feeling and keep it private. INFPs often use art and various forms of creativity as a cathartic means for expressing the fountain of emotions and sentiments circulating their internal world.

They prefer to relate to others on a more personal basis because they want to understand them as an individual. They dislike homogeneity, and anything that diminishes what makes people unique and special. INFPs tend to use their imagination to romanticize and fantasize about beautiful possibilities. They also use it to put themselves in the shoes of others in order to understand and empathize with them. Although they have strong feelings, their sensitivity may render them shy and even appear cold. Introverted Feeling is not as emotionally effusive as Extraverted Feeling and a lot of INFP’s feeling reactions and judgements will be concealed from others unless they feel comfortable enough to share them. .

Additionally, INFPs feel little compulsion to put on a fake attitude for the sake of appearances. They can be a silent rebel and a peaceful resistor against niceties and customs they view as trite and insincere. INTPs may be more willing than INFP to go along with things they don’t want to do, if it might spare them some drama (although they may protest if they don’t see any worthwhile reason to). INFPs may resist more frequently and strongly on the basis of moral conviction and asserting their individuality. INFPs feel less inclined to change or compromise who they are just to fit in with their environment. Consequently, INFPs can often feel out of place in many situations. They desire to be understood and accepted for who they are and not have their sense of identity and their personal standards overshadowed by the standards of others.

INTPs however, are slightly more sympathetic to social systems and the value of a cohesive community. Although INTPs are independent and individualistic in their style of thinking, they also feel an underlying broad sense of obligation to humanity. They enjoy being helpful to others and secretly aspire to leverage their Ti knowledge in ways that will improve people’s lives. INFP by contrast, is slightly more sympathetic about the importance of technical efficiency and the utility of organization and systems for managing their time and energy. INFPs enjoy being creative and taking action when inspiration strikes them. INFPs however, inherently also understand and eventually must embrace the value of taking a more structured approach for reaching their creative goals and aspirations.

Mercury in the 1st House – Cerebral Persona

February 13, 2021 Published by: Jhoon

Mercury in House One

Mercury in the 1st House Overview:

Mercury in the 1st house is a placement that can add a cerebral element to the manner in which one presents themselves. In the first house, Mercury influences the image we project and informs the style and physical attributes we display. Thus, people with this placement tend towards a slim build and may appear to have an anxious temperament. Their disposition may be overall positive with a capacity to think and talk about a wide array of matters and do so in sometimes glib and perfunctory ways.

Moreover, Mercury in the 1st house can bring about a possibly superficial level of intellectualism that is more of an affectation than anything. Appearing smart and witty may be seen as more important than actually being so. At any rate, such individuals may show interest in a great many things but the depth of their insight and knowledge may not run very deep. Even still, Mercury in house 1 may yield a person who is quick thinking on their feet and able to express their thoughts and ideas effectively. Here is a look at Mercury in the 1st house in both the natal chart and as a transit.

Mercury in the 1st House key Traits: mental acuity, strong opinions, intellectual hubris, intellectualism, nervous energy, jack of all trades, slender appearance

The 1st House:

The 1st house in astrology is the house of Self. It corresponds with the sign of Aries and it’s planetary ruler, Mars. This house is angular and is thus considered to be more significant in the birth chart. Angular houses emphasize aspects of our identity. The 4th house represents our inner self and group identity with regards to family and homeland. The 10th house or midheaven, represents our public image and status and the 7th house represents our identity as a partner and supporter to others. The 1st house therefore is focused on our self image and how we want to see ourselves and how people can often perceive us upon first impression. It represents our style and approach to new situations. The sign that occupies this house in the birth chart is known as the Ascendant or rising sign.

The Planet Mercury:

In astrology, mercury is a very important planet and essentially represents the intellectual mind, the way we think and communicate. It is the fastest planet in our solar system and also the smallest and closest to the sun. It is named after the ancient Roman’s mythical messenger of the gods. Mercury signifies our rational side, our use of language and our ability to think on our feet, solving problems or processing information.
