9 Weird Behaviors Of INFJ Personality Type 

👇WATCH NEXT👇 INFJ Personality Type Explained ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VEXT2Le_ge8.html

1. Extremely private. 2. Read others like a book. 3. Surprisingly impulsive. 4. Problem standing ground. 5. Predict the future. 6. Everything must be perfect. 7. Weirdest around strangers. 8. Many varied interests & hobbies. 9. Fight for others more than themselves.

I think "unique" is more appropriate than the word "weird" because these characteristics are unique to INFJ personality. It has a more positive connotation. I embrace being an INFJ and don't consider my behaviors overall "weird".

We aren’t weird, we are simply misunderstood by 97% of the population and if we seem reserved, that’s a good first reason why. The only thing I had real issue with was how he said we have to tell the future. Introverted intuition is not fortune-telling. It’s an innate sensitivity to subtle patterns that give us an idea of what will happen based on information already provided that not everyone can perceive. Other than that and calling these behaviors weird, I’d say it’s pretty much spot on.

I think it is very unfair to call any of these behaviours weird. Weird according to whom? By who's standards? They are just behaviours. It is damaging for us to be told that so many perfectly ordinary things are weird. Is it any wonder we are so private when we are being judged that way.

Being private is weird. Being able to be alone is weird. Being able to read people is weird. Empathy is weird. Compassion is weird. Thinking about the future is weird. (btw. not the ability to create pretty well fitting prediction makes an INFJ secretive, it's people criticizing the sht out of us). Being a perfectionist, who is responsible and well-organized is weird. Having many interests and hobbies, being open/creative is weird. Fighting for someone else more than for yourself is weird. Maybe the world would be a better place if people would be weirder.

As an INFJ, I hate conflict. They state that disagreements can lead to an open give-and-take discussion, except that in my experience conflict leads to people steamrolling me. There is no give-and-take. Other people just take...then I disappear.

We keep others at a distance because we are looking for worthy souls…

Confronting other is a real pet peeve of mine. I don’t like being in arguments or discord because it’s too taxing on me emotionally and mentally. But if I witness others getting bullied, watch out, I won’t stand for it. I will (and won’t hesitate) to fight those who bully others. And have done this time and time again since I was in elementary school. So it’s true that we advocate for others but not ourselves. Well, at least in my case it is.

I’d say they isolate themselves because they absorb so much information that they get overstimulated

"Weirdness" is my badge of honor. Thank you!

Being alone a lot is not some kind of a disability. We don't like groups, small talk, or people who enjoy talking about superficial things.

I Sympathize with batteries, I'm not included either. I don't want to be special, I just want to be valued. - INFJ

I ( INFJ ) have a friend who always say to me " I've never saw a boy like you " ( positively ) and this is the best compliment someone can ever give me

But let humble ourselves and remember just because we can read people well does not mean we are always correct with our reading.

I'm ENFJ and my co-worker is INFJ, we have level 5 telepathy and mostly communicate with animal sounds, other co-workers are human and don't understand this.

Once an INFJ matures a bit more many of these issues resolve, such as avoiding conflict and not being able to draw proper boundaries and take care of ourselves. Oh and we’re not actually perfectionists, we just require aesthetics which make us seem perfectionistic. And for those commenting, weird is only bad until you accurately define it. Be blessed fellow INFJs and Happy New Year. -xo

The hobbies one though 😭 combined with a little ADHD and I'm always onto learning something new

As far as perfectionism goes. It's true, we are perfectionists, but I feel like we still have a good understanding that nothing is perfect. If you aim for perfection, you may hit 80% of that. For me, that's the goal. Shoot for perfectionism so that you'll land somewhere closer to it than the other direction. I feel like most people go in to things hoping for the best, but if they don't plan for the best they can fall really short of their goal. If you're aiming for a bullseye, you're more likely to get close rather than if you just aim for the whole target in general.

As an INFJ I find life exciting

I can't keep new friends 😢 I recently started work at a place with a lot of people. I'm good at making acquaintances but I push people away once they disappoint me. I'll try and mend the relationship but most just brush me off.

We’re definitely seen as “different”, and misunderstood. My job requires me to advocate for others (I work in a medical group that cares for military members), but advocating for myself is hard AF.

“Finds it easy to make friends” sorry, I think may have skipped that part in my infj handbook…

I have had workmates before who misunderstood my isolation. I was struggling at that time to not compare myself to others. I decided to isolate myself for a short period, just to self-reflect and to be able to remove that negative energy from me. However, they thought I had something against them. I was still talking to them at that time but only those related to work but for other stuff like personal ones, I tend not to talk it with them like I used to. They misinterpreted that. Eventually, I became an outcast even after that self-reflection. They changed the way they treat me. When I could no longer tolerate their behavior, I decided to leave to protect my inner peace. I understand why they changed. I even blamed myself that time for the way they acted towards me. But I learned that I am just different. I accepted the fact that many people will not understand me. And I learned that I should not please everyone. If they don't understand, that's fine. As long as I am not stepping on someone and I am doing the good thing, I am good.

Great: another video that makes me think I’m an INFJ/INTJ hybrid. 😂. Never thought I was until recently and now I’m stuck questioning where I fall.

I am INFJ ,I love Me and I am so special and unique where ppl can't keep up with me ,hence they call me Weirdly awsome😂❤❤❤

Please stop describing us as *weird, when every personality type has their own attributes.

So true im a super infj... I can't lie the things are correct.. As infj reading people like a book is awesome sometimeit may funny for other but we can feel and know from first expression or whatever i can't explain we just read like book,, we know who like us who dislike us who have mental ptoblem who have stress many manyyy

Ngl I'm slightly offended by the depicted cracked out crazy looking woman crawling through the wall.. I don't believe that even slightly represents my quirky persona 😂

I have had co workers that said i scared the hell out of them because i would predict an event and it would happen. They thought i was psychic but the truth was that i could see 5 moves ahead on the chessboard! Some people liked me but most didn't and i was ok with that but there were some corporations that i went Norma Rae on and they hated me for standing up for danger/ injustice in the workplace! I love my alone time! This video was great!

Being that intuitive can make us hella jaded I feel

As an INFJ I am blissfully stressed

How is being private and enjoying our own energy/soul enough to not need a crowd to be happy along with whatever else is coming up in this video "weird"? Seems like some angry gossips list... Happy weirdo here...

INFJ here, It's easy to make friends but it's hard to keep friends 😭

The list provided applies to unhealed or unascended INFJs. The ones that are healed don’t have a problem standing their ground, talking to strangers, and all the other stuff that are nonsense on that list. It doesn’t apply to all INFJs. Only the ones that don’t want to work on themselves.

#5 is called "Sentinel Intelligence".

thank was on point 😮

This is good ❤ I sets my boundaries and speak my truth though I've learned to use it to get more peace !! 😂 ppl leave me alone because I'll call myself out and others even if it's awkward

To all my fellow INFJ's out there, harness your emotions and thoughts and you'll be the man or woman lol.

I'm both INFJ and a sigma male, I prefer to be alone all the time, I don't like in a place full of people or crowded people, small talk, I easily get bored on topics that are gossips or life of other people it's like a waste of my time, I want topics that I can learn something, interesting topics about how things work, how it is made or about anything in science, I even enjoy topics that are out of the ordinary that will made me think, I like spending time alone planning, watching and learning things that I want to learn and thinking something productive, like fixing things, cleaning and maintaining my motorcycle and car, creating or inventing things, cooking, painting etc... I'm jack of all trades and I'm still yearning to learn more and acquire more skills... for me learning is limitless until I die...

So very true for me as well. Spending time alone is comfortable and critical. And, INFJ + ADHD is challenging. I also have random people just start telling me all about their lives. I am a clinical social worker and must have "therapist" stamped on my forhead! Great post.😊

I agree on the most part but don't see any of these attributes as weird, special yes, weird no. Also, I've never had a problem with standing my ground. Even as a child, if I knew I was right, even if I stood alone I never budged or cared. Am still that way. I agree with the rest but though I've told others that they might not want to know what I'm thinking when they ask me what do you think, if they push, I'll tell them...That often scares ppl. 😂😂😂😂 I will fight for others, always will fight for the underdog but not so much for myself because it's too exhausting and not that important. I've learned to be comfortable in my own skin and don't care what others think. It's taken me a long time to get where I am but it's all worth it. The world is weird to INFJs not the other way around.

I have truly embraced and accepted my weirdness fully and completely actually thank you ! hahahahah…

This INFJ feels that it’s very disrespectful to refer to us and our behavior as weird and that we’re “psychos”. You’ve lost a viewer.

could you do a video about the enfj personality type? would really appreciate that:)

Psycho or psychic. Big difference!

This sounds about right 👍

Wow! I'm called out!!!! Finally, someone gets it!!!!❤️

Holy guacamole. I see possible futures. If I'm not seeing futures, something is seriously wrong in my life.

1 2 and 5 really resonate

Weird aka can't tolerate most mainstream silliness. It's only weird to those living and loving the mainstream silliness.

I laughed out loud at fhe way it said ”it may seem as though they are “psychos”” 😂 just so deadpan 😆 I’d think it was funny if people thought that. It wouldn’t really bug me if others don’t see me like I see myself.

Please bless us with estp centered videos

This list is way too accurate to describe my younger self. Now those traits has become milder😅 Maybe age and experience matters

It’s/ I’m strange bc I’m known as a talkative person (though I’ve come to the conclusion it’s due to undiagnosed anxiety) but I love being alone. I’m very perceptive. I’ve even been speaking to someone and called them by their name and they’ll tell me they haven’t told me their name yet!!! 🤯

Weird = Unique

For me, there’s no such thing as “normal” because everyone has their own quirks. Some people who seem “normal” tend to hide their flaws to appear “perfect” in order to fit in or because of pressure from peers who criticize them. It’s best if we embrace authenticity as long as we’re not hurting anyone on purpose and I don’t think others should hate/pick on someone just because they don’t understand their authenticity

Any other INFJs struggling with group assignments in Uni? My brain shuts down and I require solitude to think about topics.😂 As soon as multiple ppl speak I start to dissociate 🙉

I ACT EXTRA EXTROVERT 🌚 BUT I LIKE SOLO ACTIVITIES AND VALUE MY ALONE TIME ALLLOT 💆🏻‍♀️🦹🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🏫

As an INFJ female, I actually am the one always confronting and a come across as intimidating (according to friends or family) I rather nip things in the butt and come to an understanding ASAP. I may have this quality bc I grew up family always avoiding any sort of confrontation- and I hated that! I felt they weren’t standing up for themselves. So now I’m the bull and always seem to be standing up for others too.

weird. we call weird what is unknown and surprisingly- and accurately beyond us.

before see this, I think I am a weird person. but now I know that I am just become INFJ

I have zero problem standing my ground.

Infj rage, should have spoken about that little lovely tidbit

People who aren't INFJs don't understand that INFJs just know things based on careful observations and pattern recognition of other humans and society at large. It takes me about 2 months of consistent talking to a person to know things most wouldn't be able to know for years down the line.

being an infj and also a mom, my kids absolutely hated my guts when i call out their lies or secrets. mom, its just 5 min and havent talked yet, how would u know that??!! 😂

9 is especialy true of me and i like to be alone for daydand find crowds stressfull. i studied science, i like the tidyness of it, but i took ecology, which is all about paterns and invisible lines, but has an eliment of artestry about it

None of these behaviors I would consider “weird”

its not weird, its normal, plain or typical... weird is walking late at night, eat icecream outdoor during winter, use umbrella when walking under sun or smoke coffe buns...

Wow!!!!!❤

I'm weird and I'm loving it! ❤

This is pop psychology at its worst.

this is so real

That's no weird, it's just not neurotypical 😂

I admit I feel as though some of the accusations that any personality is weird or contradictory is not true and just comes from misconception.

Na they not weird just unique and different. Its like saying all human behaviour is listed in the DSM 5 just categorising them as Disorders, so everyone has some sort of undiagnosed condition they aren't aware of.

Would have been nice to explain what INFJ stands. I still don’t know…

as an INFJ....... I don't want to get involved in this comment section

There is a huge difference between perfection and functionality

Play at x1.25 speed, you're welcome :)

Unique

*shows a person at a mental hospital* “This is one of the weirdest behaviours of INFJ personality type” 💀

This is 100% me. Totally misunderstood and unappreciated. I have called the bad thing with 100% accuracy. I am not clarivoyant. I can see things others can't.

None of these weird traits.. Infact unique and beautiful qualities

Hey, buddy! We’re not WEIRD! 😡

I love one Infj, I'm intj

Интересно, я INTJ (много раз в тесте я вышла INTJ) но все эти факты про меня кроме 9 того!

Better weird than boring!

Now I'm sure I'm an infj

Me an INFJ wanting arts and so I take Arts and Design as my strand in High School but end up in a Science based course in college which is in the medical field HAHAAHHA I also song lead to our church

I’m an intj and my youngest adult daughter is an infj- we are best friends.

Behavior 4 is wrong. Every infj I know and I am one myself don’t fall to peer pressure at all we stand firm in our beliefs.

The only thing weird about this video is the people who are staring and smiling intensely for more it was needed to be.....

As am INFJ, be proud of who you are.

That’s friggin weird!

💯

There are a lot of us I see ❤❤❤

me for sure

I don’t think I’m weird 😪✌🏼 you can be you. It’s okay to be me. You don’t have to understand me because I already figured you out and drawn my circle where you are and where you will be in my life. You don’t have to impress me. Just be you and don’t lie 😊

4:51 "Psychos" or "psychics"?
