Are INFPs Dumb? 

Hearting your own comment! 👌🏻

@@Julia-LArt he's an INFJ and therefore dumb

I don't know if I'm INFP or ISFP. Could you help me figure out the difference? Like which one am I?

Claire Russell nah, he be smart!

As you said: feelers feel less responsible for the logic and vice versa, do you think that our personality type is based on what we thought was lacking in our family in a way? To kind of balance out our family? Say your parents are thinkers, do children then subconciously become feelers because they know someone else already takes care of 'the thinking'?

SAME!! fellow INFP here

I haven’t laughed so hard on the comments, I just did the personality test like 20 minutes ago INFP-T. I’m glad i found my peoplle😁

me too.. i could think of the most intelligent thing in my head, though it comes out sounding like an idiotic mess lol

Same, when I was 10 years old I had to do some IQ tests because the teacher suspected I had dyslexia. Well it turns out that my verbal score was 20 points lower, the scores were verbal IQ=122 , performance IQ=142. Kinda a shame the school didn't really care about that so my education was kinda a bust. So now I'm a 22 year old that is a master procrastinator, and thinks and overanalyses anything and everything, but doesn't have the verbal skills or confidence to do anything with it. (engish is not my first language, so sorry for any errors I made.)

I can relate too!

In my opinion no one is dumb, its just that people have different types of intelligence, some people lack common sense but are great communicators or are great with their hands. Society has settled only a few types as being clasified as 'smart' negleting the rest.

@@keepuwu-ing7653 i agree

@@keepuwu-ing7653 I've never thought of it like that. That's a good way to look at it.

FACTS

How is this so accurate

Accurately me. 😳

Ouch this comment is SO LOOUUD🙈🙉

Know the "pain" well :)

Omg it feel so weird reading all those comments . It's exactly me lmao

Lol

My mouth no, but I find myself better experiencing it in writing

Ohh yess !!! This is what it is. I have it all in mind but i can't just say it out loud. Word got lost ......

Me, an infp: "i think I feel..." 🤡

(INFP) I use these depending on what I'm actually doing. When I'm intentionally being more objective, I tend to use "I think" (and ultimately using [Si]), but when I know I'm using my gut, I use "I feel", especially when I know the interpretation can be more subjective, or when I'm trying to validate the other person's feelings too. I used to "feel" more, but as I've learned the differences in sentiment, I've grown to use both in very intentional ways... Was that alright? --> "I think it's okay" "The next step we need to do is... hmm, I'm thinking..." "I think we should try (this solution)" "I feel like you're really good at knowing when people are down" "I'm feeling Taco Bell for lunch" It's been a rough day --> "I'm sorry, I feel that"

Saying "I feel like" and "I think that" are literally the same thing. They're both used as a way to express your opinion while making it clear that you're expressing your opinion. They don't secretly say something about you as a person lmao

As a fellow INFP, I tend to use "I feel" more because it sounds more neutral therefore I can't offend others. "I feel" feels like sharing an opinion and I may be right or wrong (usually accompanied with the phrase, "don't judge me" or "I can be wrong"). When I say "I think" then I somehow feel imposing on others and they'll might dislike me lmao. It do be like that sometimes

I think+feel=overthink😭

I literally laughed out loud🤣

So true😂😂😂

So, it is a thing! New. Thanks

so we’re all living the same life

It's been 5mins after I saw your comment and I'm still laughing. Goshh. Send help.

Yes, 100% agree!

So true! Whenever I try to start a topic about something that interests me everyone is like "?". And the rest yes yes yes. Also in my mind I think ahead and my mouth can't keep up so I stutter and stumble over my words.

True, after I transfered I got this one close friend that have the same interests like mine, I finally had my heart open for the first time for this person, I valued her as a special person because I'm not an easy kind to open my heart to anyone

It's so true

Did you know that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is based off of her grief for her children who all died young?

Wow I’m not the only one. I’m so happy to hear that it happens to more people 🫶🫶😊😊

Unfortunately those are common fallacies.

I remember in high school one of my friends told she thought i couldn't speak at all. I mean she thought i was dumb 😭😭 it's quite sad when they think that about you

Sadly in my class everyone thinks that quiets kid is the most intelligent

INFP prefer work underground 😂 below radar.

I just love it when I see their faces and they are like wow, you know stuff. Outside, I'm like. yeah smiling,head down coz I am shy but inside, I feel proud and like yeah mfs, I can study and probably better than most of you combined. I think I am arrogant but also smart enough to make people think I am humble.

Some days I wish I could tell them but then I remind myself that they won't like me anymore if they knew what darkness I harbor inside. This is why I love the internet. I can reveal so much more of myself here. It's so relaxing.

And also they called us ‘shy’

@@Takisan111 lol same

I’ve never related so much before-

why is everything internal , i just wanna speak 💔

That made me laugh so hard! INFP just broke down (but did not die)!

We can cry together ;_;

I'm a fighty INFP so I'm ready to throw down

I wanted to share this video with my INFP niece, but I thought the title would make her cry, get depressed and hate me. So, no, I’m not sending it to her 😢

fangurl33 can you tell me how your mother influenced your F side?

The fact that I took 3 tests and I got INFJ-T on 2 of them and INFP-T on my most recent one and I still feel dumb

@@deadlockshadow8998 If it's any consolation, dumb people don't know or feel like they're dumb.

@@danielp255 Hahahaha OMG thanks for this!

@@danielp255 So true!

INFJ and INFP can understand more of each other also especially when it comes to deep thinking topic.

I'm an INTJ and my husband is INFP. I've been thinking just the same.

REALLY??? I'm a female INTJ and he's an INFP and Ho Lee Fuk I could not think of a more frustrating, soul-crushing gong show of a match. For both of us. We get along superficially for the sake of our son, that's the best thing I can say about us. I'm happy for you. Just surprised... and curious (HOW)?

Awwwwwwww that’s so cauuuyte!! All the best wishes A fellow infp

Being married to an INTJ I agree but I don't believe he would appreciate the language ;-p🤣

Maybe a lot of us are lefties... like me. :)

I never knew I was "left handed" till I realized that I amlost exclusively pick things up with my left hand. Tested it and makes so much sense now. Also pussed cause it took me 23 years to have decent handwriting when I could have had decent handwriting a long time ago

FACTUAL AYOOOOOOO

Seriously im always and forever thinking about something. My brains always like floating around.- INFP

"too lazy to think sometimes".. YES OMG😢

Same

But still dont show it up lol

You got me here

I'm apparently an INTJ but still think I'm too sensitive for my liking.

I think I'm smart but I have no motivation to finish my overdue assignments 😁

Same here, ain't that something???

Guilty

Yoooooo spaceman spliffs where ya at!

Good combination to have a crazy life 😭😭😭

they go hand in hand

Also keep in mind that if we INFPs don't see the sense in participating in a given activity, you aren't going to elicit a reaction from us any time soon except by forcing us - but in that case you should expect a disastrous outcome.

I can completely identify with that. I’m north of 50, and I can’t tell you how many times I heard “Be more assertive!” and “You need to speak up!” after colleagues at work were blathering on in meetings. I have also heard “Wow, still waters DO run deep.” Many times after I would eventually share my thoughts. Just give us some space and time and we can do great things. I wish you and your daughter well.

That's why I always hated oral tests. Give me a piece of paper and I will convey all my knowledge. I used to get much lower grades because of speaking slower than others, which seemed like I don't know the subject well enough.

i relate so much to her

That's what I am like as well! I wish my mom is as understanding as you are to your daughter.

Exactly

I'm similar... then after that one outing I don't want to go anywhere.

Same ^^^

one of my besties is enfp and I admire the way she seems to know her boundaries so well

My response as an INFP when someone insults me is “thank you so much for sharing that info with me, why do you feel that way”😂

My response if a stranger were to insult me would be to take it very personally, be extremely hurt by it & then I will become obviously very angry, then tell them something like "You wana say that again? Were about to have some very serious problems." at that point if they continue to verbally attack me I would likely lose control of my emotions & become physically violent. Fortunately I'm smart enough & socially avoidant enough that I avoid these types of situations all together, but most people tend to change there tune when they see you are obviously angry & not afraid. Edit: INFP

Ｋᶦᶫᶫᵉʳᵃᶰᵈᵘᶰᵈᵉʳᵗᵃᵏᵉʳ I just sit there and take it but then blow off steam by ranting about them to other people. I’m a INFP-T lol. I don’t think I would ever willingly become physical over words. Did it once and it made me feel like trash.

imma say " My apologies your highness, who am i to compared such intelligent and openminded being like you with my short and dull brain" or simply "no u"

@@gjones9186 its true. Actually i like this thing in infps that we are able to pursue perfection as nobody else can. We sure are intelligent - we might also compare ourselves to people like einstein and then feel depressed but its good until its healthy lol.

What type are you

Beautiful cosmic dolphin. I felt that, deeply. Thank you for feeling and understanding us! 🤍✨

I am glad you think so well of us! I will admit I don't have the "eff my life" humor, I have very silly dumb humor like dad jokes. 😂 But when I am not joking around I do love to be deep!

Woow. Loved the comment. I really love INTPs being an INFP. Tbh I tries to be like INTP myself and even in my personality score out of 10 tests in different point of time I got 3 times INTP Aand rest INFP as I'm more INFP but sometimes, I'm like INTP. But really INTP are my fav types. I have an online INTJ friends, we both have philosophical debates, he is more conventional in religious matters while Im open minded and liberal thinker but we both have good rapport with each other and are keen to discuss philosophy. Another thing in me is i only like to speak about philosophy and ideas but about other common topics I remain shut.

🥺

I read that as "No, they're clueless" probably because Im not in the best state of mind rn F

Do you still enjoy socializing? Or do you find that the hindrance takes away from the positive socializing experiences?

For me it depends on how my mental health is. If it’s bad, then I can feel really anxious and depersonalized and it’s like my inner and outer world are severely disconnected. But when I’m doing better and feeling good, it’s more of a passing thought that I can ignore. So yeah I really do enjoy socializing when I feel up to it. It’s just a matter of when ig

You don’t know how relieving it is to read someone else describing exactly what I go through, no one has seemed to ever understand this

Thank you bc I experience this so often even though I try my hardest to pay attention. It doesn’t help that I have some hearing loss either 🥲 nice to know I’m not alone in this struggle

Same. My wife gets so frustrated with me. She says a conversation with me is like talking to a brick wall sometimes. I just stare at her. Sometimes I think my brain subconsciously decides what I'm thinking about is higher priority than whatever she's saying.

This was exactly me throughout the video.

Relatable.

why must you call us out like this m8 xD

Omg I can relate to this a lot in my friends group I can't talk to anybody cause I don't like small talk I do have lot of good things to say In certain topics I love astronomy and science and love mystery a lot.I believe in deep conversation rather than small talk but because of this I fell so left out from my group they often say that I am so quite. And same as you I am also very aware of my facial expression and my body language and I can feel and see if I am gonna do this or say this they gonna see me as that and then I am trying to convey myself that what others think about me is none of my business but still because I can go so deep in overthinking it make me so uncomfortable when it comes to talking I always have something to say something which is best then everyone but I can't say it because of my self-made anxiety. And the fact is I know I am smart but other don't know anything about me and then think and see me as dumb person and whenever I talk about something or give my opinion they often get shocked of my thoughts cause they think I am dumb and shy but the truth is they are so dumb that's the reason why I am not able to fit in that group this is so long I fell so good after writing this. And ye I am totally aware of my strength and weakness 😉so I can fix them and I will to all my infp friends if you are aware of your weakness and strength you can do anything you want to do and believe we all gonna have a successful life. Thankyou so much that was big😅😅

I can relate

Damn true...

Oh you seem autistic like me. I'm an Infp and highly on spectrum of Autism

That is just... a description of me.

Yes! ❤

For some reason, there is this stereotype that all infp's have unhealthy cognitive behavioral traits. I'm an Infp and I don't. I worked really hard to rewrite the way I think to be as healthy as possible. It makes it kind of hard to relate to all of the infp stereotype videos and comments. Am I still am Infp? Of course. I just worked really hard to become a healthy one. So to anyone reading this, if you are an Infp and you relate to all of the toxic thought patterns some people wrongly believe are integral to the infp pysche, please research healthy cognitive behavioral traits and work to replace the unhealthy ones you tend to default to with the healthy ones. Don't be afraid to seek help if you need it as well. Your quality of life will improve drastically if you do.

@@CeruleanStar you are right

@@thepotatofamily4969 That's me like a year ago

Ya we tend to cry at little things but we are strong people too you know. If we think positive we can overcome anything. This is how my thinking works 😅

True...some people think I'm sad or depressed but I'm just enjoying myself actually🤣

That's so real...

I have the exact same problems you have it's crazy...

I really related to this, man. I have so many secret thoughts and feelings, almost a secret side of myself, that only the closest most trusted people know. For that, some people outside of that world think they have me figured out, but I know for fact that they do not, because I have not let them see my true face. It's not so bad, it's my choice. I am selective of who I let in, and those I let in have earned their place. Everyone else makes their own judgements and assumptions on the fly and make up who they think I am.

Oh dang. I'm struggling with figuring out whether I'm INFP or INTP, and this helps. Not much, since I have already been leaning towards INFP due to how I feel about it, which I now realize is further evidence that I'm an INFP. tl;dr Thank you for sharing, me INFP overthink brain.

I'm not a huge fan of labelling people with these personality types anymore. They aren't accurate enough to say every INFJ and INFP are going to get along. Nor does it guarantee anything else.

Aww thank you :D

I favor INTJs!!!!

And then when you look at it again, there are things called matured INFPs where their cognitive functions are fully developed, ready to serve to its extent, and there are healthy INFPs where their cognitive functions are used in a beneficial form, not weighing themselves down, I'm not exactly sure. Hurts writing this comment but I think it's important to let it out there -INFP

Did you find it?

Going by a study on which type have on average more "gifted" people, it shows that INTP, INFP, ENTP and ENFP are in fact the most common. Simply put, it showed that Intuitive preferring and Percieving preferring people have a higher level of giftedness. Judging types, and especially Sensing types, are however usually far more diligent students and score higher on tests due to that. Oddly, the preconcepted idea that Introversion and Thinking plays a big role in this was also found to be (possibly) untrue. On Introversion versus Extraversion, it was almost 50/50, and likewise on Thinking versus Feeling, there was more Feelers though by a small margin. It's not a direct study on intelligence compared to MBTI, but it gives a fine picture. xNxP have the highest number of gifted students. That said, you could be an INTP or INFP or whatever and be a complete dumbfuck as well, so take it as you will.

I once looked for my phone while talking on that same phone to a friend.

Oh we're book smart by default AND have connections to deeper meaning intelligence. that's one of the traits that make us so goddamn unique in the first place. we act & feel like hippies cuz either said ideas are too difficult to express coherently, or that we're so busy marveling in the beauty of it that we don't bother putting them in a coherent, easy to understand manner. btw, being book smart doesn't actually have much to do with being able to appear smart. those who actually appear smart, are the ones who had the communication part sorted out, thus enabling their book smarts to properly link with expression, or that their intelligence is actually just shallow enough for them to appear so.

INFP here also, whenever I feel like I’m in peace with myself and my life is healthy I end up realising that it was all lies I keep telling myself and it was all in my head because I was daydreaming too much XD

this is why i sometimes feel INFP-As and INFP-Ts are different species altogether!

The most interesting part is that I know my qualities very well (never show off tho, I'm a pretty quiet person) and when people take notice of this they attack, accuse me of being arrogant and try to make me believe that I'm not "intelligent enough" or "still a naive child".. I'm just like "Yeah, keep talking you miserable unfuckable wannabe :) " There was a time when I felt a lot of anger towards them and saw them as enemies, but they are just that... Idiotic wannabes

Well done, if you have everything going for yourself you might not actually be an infp ( no offense ) cause infps complain about everything

That's not suprising. INFPs and INTPs are sort of a yinyang type of thing. Both are brilliant and insecure in equal and opposite ways.

I can understand why we are perceived as being mentally deficient, we are often sensotards. Where are my glasses? Oops on my head. We are so inside our heads that we frequently tune out the external environment. We are also far more self-critical than others. Our propensity is to judge ourselves where are the types are more externally judging. We need to remember that we are our own worst critics and negative self-talk is a recipe for disaster. Binarily we accept others fallibilities easily and without judgement.

How did u get over ur anxiety, coz m suffering from the same

@@rashmikotian5802 I rectified it twice in my life, the first time I was really unwell with symptoms other than just anxiety and no Doctor could help me so I took my self into the bush and ate well and sun baked. It only took a week and on the way home I couldn’t understand why I had been so depressed for so many years. While I stopped at a tourist lookout was when I noticed that my social anxiety had completely gone and I found myself talking to strangers which for most of my life I just wouldn’t do at all, then back home on the way to work I couldn’t believe how easily I could talk to a nice looking young woman on the train. Looking back I’m quiet sure that I rectified two things, gut health and my zinc levels as I had some foods that were high in zinc and my bowel movements had improved. The second time I was in a new job and was really struggling with anxiety. I saw a naturopath who did some tests and determined that I was low in zinc and high in copper, she gave me a supplement which again turned me into a completely different person though it took about two weeks this time. It turns out that if your zinc levels drop your copper levels can creep up and visa versa and it’s the copper that causes the anxiety and even paranoia if it gets to high which is what happened to my mother. If start taking a zinc supplement be careful not to take too much for any length of time because if you bring your copper levels down two much you can cause damage too your spinal cord over time and end up with the same damage that you get from MS. After 19 years I discovered that I had Lyme disease which is probably why my zinc levels dropped because your body uses up zinc to fight all kinds of bugs including COVID-19 and it seems likely that your body will also use up your vitamin D reserves as well this why you have to make sure you have good levels of both of these to protect yourself from COVID. I always used to get tonsillitis as a kid and it was treated with antibiotics so this may be why my gut health wasn’t too good as it’s well known that antibiotics harms the gut health. I also suspect that pesticides might be part of the problem as well. So the answer is eat well go organic if you can, have some pumpkin seeds every day for zinc, don’t drink alcohol or too much caffeine and get some sunshine on your back for 10 minutes every day. UPDATE: It's been 7 months since I wrote this but and I still believe it's all true except I've learnt more about personality types and now I'm fairly sure that I'm actually an INTJ.

True

Omg I have the same exact experience with my issues and my psychologists and natural-paths! Everyone at school thinks Im slow but it’s all because of ONE issue that is ANXIETY!!

Ive been told my my naturapath that my mind is actually really sharp and always told by my psychologists that Im actually intelligent because my damn school thought I was slow or something…

I feel ya

I confirm

Yes that last part is so relatable, freaking hate it

I have never been more expressed in words then by that last sentence

the stuttering part.. I can relate a lot

SAME AHHAHAHAHA

Thank you!!

Exactly. I love learning physics because it teaches me about how the world functions but I really hate math😔😔😔

I'm an INFP and turns out maths is my favourite subject🤣 ok ok my parents are professors but still

@@icemonkey3404 same with me, i really like math

@@icemonkey3404 that's great too! I personally think maths can be fun, but i find arts to be more interesing. There's no such thing as a typical INFP. And art and science can actually be very closely connected.

Scientist INFP here too, following my passion ✌

I am really dumb and stupid but also a genius idk bye

@Janelica Marcos Which mbti type are you? if you don't mind me asking

:-o when I saw your comment I thought maybe I wrote it and forgot I did. We are very alike, lol! (By the way, i recommend picross puzzles, they fun)

Sciences are my best subjects too but legit last week I wanted to change my major from science to anthropology in the span of an hour and the only reason I didn't was cuz my scholarship was STEM based so I need to take a STEM major. Thankfully my major is CogSci which is probably the most social science based science major

I’m an INTJ and basically all my close friends are XNFPs. All of them are SUPER smart and being a feeler gives them an intelligence that I completely lack as a thinker and viceversa. I’ve met dumb thinkers, and dumb feelers, it has nothing to do with their F or T.

@@BlueMarsh27 Yes exactly 😊 both thinkers and feelers have their own unique strengths and weaknesses and their both intelligent in their own ways. I don't think being a thinker or a feeler is what determines our intelligence but rather the deeper things like our hearts and mindsets.

@@BlueMarsh27 I'm a feeler that wishes I was INTJ, ENTJ, or ESTJ, bc I feel they're the smartest & excel in life the best. Being an INFP or INFJ (I'm not sure yet), I feel like a complete idiotic joke!! 😬

We are also insightful and go by truth. Which is always wiser. More important than knowledge

@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 Yes! I 100% agree with this 😊

INFP self awareness andself decpreciation

@@skyblazeeterno Yeah I think so too Haha

Broooo ikr im an entp these guys are 😂 I mean- 😂😂😂😂

I am an ENTP and my boyfriend is an INFP but he is smart and i am more emotional than him so yes streotypes don’t always work

Because the thing is... who is not dumb in this world? When I try to answer the question my mind gets to a lot of different answers, because everyone is stupid in at least one thing. So if you stop to think, I am dumb, and the real question should be: "Why these persons don't accept that they are dumb?" The thing is that some people use "dumb" as an offense. Why should I get offended to be a dumb person? If I am dumb doing something I just need to practice more about that thing (for example, ESTJs should practice dealing with their emotions because some of them are really stupid about that lol). And then you get to the point, that people don't like to be called dumb because they are not ready to face their lackings. And INFPs are really good at facing themselves, they know their good points (even if their words don't show that) and also their bad points. Personally, I am intelligent and know a lot of things because I like reading and I am really curious about everything, but I am clumsy in a lot of things, and that makes me dumb too. So basically I translated how INFP minds answer this question. Words can lie, mental process can't.

Te and fe?

Agree! I read that INFPs do well in graduate school. I did in mechanical engineering, now I always doubted myself but over the year I became a senior scientist in R&D, so your comment regarding spending time in the world of ideas can be fruitful in R&D for INFPs.

What's with the clicks? I'm laughing, but, I'm sure why.

@@carlala3156 oh I meant clicking on the video lol

Same here, but I've let it define me for years. Now my closest friend thinks I am 1) logical (when I'm really not) and 2) book-smart but not very emotionally in tune with others. This second part particularly hurts, because I think I really connect with people's feelings but I'm unable to give practical advice or articulate the right words to comfort them. I'm scared of using the wrong words and causing an argument so I use very few, very safe words that must come across as generic and heartless e.g. "that must be hard" or "... I get you-- that sounds really tough" :(

I'm not particularly book smart either lol so perhaps I'm just an idiot. Infp or not
