Differences between INFP and INFJ: My Brother and I 

Links to purchase my book on the INFJ are provided in the description box. Thank you for your support ♥

Clear difference is with the eyes!!! INFP has dreamy eyes. INFJ has starey eyes, more opened, more gazing.

Interesting, they say INFJs are seen as cold/logical by other feelers and emotional by thinkers. I think this comes out here when your brother says you express your feelings more easily -which sounds backwards but it isn’t- the look on your face for a second is confused… he sees you as detached from your emotions, he feels he values his emotions more- so much so that he prefers to keep them hidden- I see this as a practical, real world example of infj not being feeling enough for other feelers…. we are more detached from our feelings, or more easily detached, than the other feeling types. Fascinating.

It's very evident you two brothers care about each other-I wish more bros were like that. You set a good example, so thank you!

Interesting. I very much so relate to your brother when he says he doesn’t want to say emotions out loud because they lose their meaning. For me I always feel like they don’t matter as much the moment I say them. Also that I can not accurately display them. I think that closing out the world can be very INFJ. Something people don’t talk about as much. Great video, nice to meet Kevin!

As an INFP, my relationship with my dad (INFJ) is probably the relationship in my life I cherish the most.

INFP here. I work in an elementary school as a full-time substitute teacher and one of the special needs teachers I became close to is INFJ. She has a very focused, intense gaze that I felt intimidated by at first 😅 She sonehow became a mentor to me and is always building me up like the older sister I never had.

Great video! One thing that my INFP boyfriend and I (INFJ) have discovered is that I abide by external “rules” whereas he abides by what “feels right” inside despite external rules.

Amazing video, I liked the point Kevin made about Fi and sharing emotions. For me, (an INFJ) it’s not the emotions that lose their intensity when I share them, it’s the thoughts and realizations and connections that I don’t like to share much. Sharing emotions for me is my way to connect with people and help them open up. But when I share an idea, it loses its meaning, it loses its essence and becomes insignificant for me and I start to hate it because I feel like discussing it with people ruined it. That’s why I’m such a secretive private person. I don’t know if that’s Ni or Ti but I feel like it’s one of these two. Like I’m a writer and when I get an idea I’m so excited and I’m happy. But if I share it with someone and they begin to dissect it, I lose interest and abandon the whole idea and possibly hold a grudge over it.

An INFJ (I think) American here: I had no idea you had a French accent! Having seen some of your videos before this one, I thought you had a Scots accent. 🤦‍♀️ I'm so sheltered 😄 Loved this video. 💗 I keep a diary but am more open to expressing my emotions when I am comfortable with the person I'm with (most often my ISTJ husband).

INFJ, and fellow philosopher here, I have always kept a philosophy journal with notes/ideas of my readings. Only recently did I start a diary to work out my emotions because I never know how I truly feel until I write. Also, I just finished reading "The Ecstatic Soul" and found it great how succintly you applied existential phenomenology and Jungian psychology. As an INFJ,when I studied philosophy, I was very drawn to Heidegger, Weil, Satre, Nietzsche and Jung. They just speak to our souls somehow. Great job because you are really onto something.

Yes. As an INFP, i don’t express my emotions much. Also, when i choose to, halfway through i come to the “realisation” that it’s not as intense as it seemed earlier (especially when it’s negative...like anger). So i just keep it to myself. Also, with anger, i analyse it first to figure out if every human/personality type would be offended by whatever offended me (basically, do my emotions make sense?), or am i just overreacting? It’s annoying, but within minutes or sometimes overnight, the anger is gone. Hahaha Also explaining my anger to the offender in a way he/she will understand is just difficult, so why bother?

I'm INFJ with an INFP sister. While we are similar in being introverted and sensitive, I see a lot of difference between us. My Fe goes into a feedback loop with her Fi, and it exhausts me. I want to put feelings in perspective, she wants to sit in them. I feel like I look at the evidence and keep an open mind before making a decision, where she makes a decision and then looks for evidence to back it up. I put more stock into logic, she puts more stock into her feelings. The journaling point was interesting. My sister exhaustively journals about her emotions and how she feels about things. I do not currently journal, but back in the day I used to LiveJournal, and it was much more my thoughts about ideas and external things. So you may be onto something there.

Love this!!! I was genuinely smiling the entire video! I am super curious about your brother, he is very interesting! And dreamy, lol, but I will hush bc I'm in a relationship! But whats more interesting is I want to compare him to other male INFPs because female INFPs in my experience are very different and it's sometimes even hard to tell they are the same type. I also love seeing you guys interact (you appear like an interviewer, like trying to distance yourself for the sake of research, but I can still see the love and warmth, but in your brother, just in the way he looks at you and talks to you, I can feel tons of warmth and love. I know he may not express it, but I just see it for some reason, it may not come out of his mouth, but it very evident in his eyes and his expression, do you see this too? He seems very genuine. I loved hearing the different perspectives, its like digging deep into who you guys really are, and I immensely enjoyed it. MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!!

This was great! One pattern I picked out (and it is one that I also find with my INFJ friends) is that you started out by questioning about SIMILARITIES..trying to find common ground... wheras myself and your brother seem to find it more natural and nuanced to freely point out DIFFERENCES.. even when asked directly to think about the SAMENESS of both your personalities. Do you think that being an INFJ means you often engage with others by similarity first through Fe? and then move into Ni perspective seeking? which opens up to a wider range of possible answers? I noticed one INFJ friend will always try to reveal similarities in himself that match the experiences im sharing with him in the moment.. and not revealing differences that have the potential to cause conflict or distance.

Thanks for sharing! I have such an affinity for INFPs yet I feel as if every natural reaction to me ends up yielding the opposite of what they need. I hope one day I can express and be able to get closer, but in some ways I feel like that's contradictory to what an INFP wants.... they're even more private than I (an INFJ) and that's shocking. I'm private but I get very close to my inner circle and share everything. For me sharing experiences with someone feels so right. In my understanding, an INFP wants experiences but individually. Also, I always find it humorous when an infp calls an infj more selfish given that fi doms are usually the most self-centered in life perspective. I don’t mean that to take a negative connotation, I’ve just noticed their fi dom makes them heavily self conscious and in feeling overload so they’re very centered in their internal state. Which makes sense. I’m confused how INFJs can come across solipsistic. I’m often putting my own happiness on the line for objective happiness first, it sucks!

You two are fascinating. I want to know more about both of you. Do u both live in France or where do u both live. Love u Ren. Ur very sincere and captivating. U come off so caring about ur brother also. I am not close to anyone in my family, so toxic . I’ve been estranged for very good reasons I won’t go into here . Ur so fortunate u have a brother u can be close to and actually talk about relevant things. Happy new year to both of you. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🎊🎆🎈🥂

I have just recently identified as an INFP rather than an INFJ. As an INFP he keeps a diary and as an INFJ you keep a philosophical notebook. That struck me as forcefully because whenever I write for myself it is a diary to explore and clarify myself and others.

You and Kevin are my new best friends! Some of what you both said was so spot on that I had to pause the video in order to think about it and process it for a few minutes. I was so stunned by the similarities, and am so used to being literally the only one that has these thoughts and feelings that I’ve learned very well to act “normal” with other people, and find myself isolating more and more the older I get, which is sad really. I laughed out loud many times during your conversation- most especially at Kevin’s world, his insights, and his thoughts. I identify greatly with both of you, however, Kevin’s mannerisms such as eye movements and the mischievous smile he has are definitely close to mine. I feel like I have two brothers in my tribe now instead of feeling so alone!! THANK YOU for sharing your “weirdness”! I LOVE IT!!!

This was beautiful, I so enjoyed it. I think your brother sees our INFJ traits very clearly. His descriptions are accurate. I am INFJ and my daughter is INFP. Similar conversations!

Watching your interactions is wonderful. It helps me understand the differences and similarities between me, INFJ, and my husband, who is INFP.

Your brother has such a poetic way of expressing himself, thanks so much for making me understand the infp (outside of theory). As well as bringing your brother, and yourself for making such a nice video.

I'm late to the party, but thought I'd say I really enjoyed both of your perspectives & willingness to open up and share. I hope you do this again!

I absolutely love this video. I have an INFP younger sister and she is so similar to your brother. We talk in a very abstract way all the time and sometimes we don't make any sense to outsiders. And in the terms of feelings. I am better at expressing my feelings but I think my sister is better at feeling them? If that makes sense. I find that I realize what I am feeling once I express them and put them into thoughts and words. Otherwise I kinda push it away and ignore them. My sister on the other hand has a lot in the inside and might sometimes want to share them with me but most of the time it is a personal thing for her, a secret meant to be only hers. We used to fight about that, because I always want to talk about what I discovered or am feeling and my sister does not want to be pressurized into. What's funny is that my sister is an ambivert and is much more expressive than me around others and I a lot more drained. It's kind of a contradiction because I feel more extroverted around her and vice versa. We both love to talk with each other but we can also drain each other very quickly. I found that taking a few breaks from each other makes us more fonder and re-energized haha

I am an INFJ and like your channel. I recently had my youngest son take the test and he is an INFP. I was floored. Out of all my boys he has been the hardest to raise and we seem to struggle at every turn. We do connect on literature and film and in discussing big ideas. I am curious now to know not only the basic differences in personality but what affect position in life has. He is just starting out and I am solidly middle age! To hear you and your brother talk was wonderful. Happy New Year and keep up the good work!

I would love to see more interactions between the two of you. Maybe if you add subtitles it will make the social dynamic more natural and allow an uninterrupted conversation. I wouldn't mind subtitles 😄

I journal about how to actualize my dream. The steps needed. My thoughts or stream of consciousness. My introspection of so many things. Some creative stories of abstract and symbolic nature. When I write about my emotions I write some thing like I am grateful for... I feel deep love for humanity. I feel calm and at peace and I love it. I don't have this wide range of emotions , when I am on my own.

That was such a lovely conversation!!! Loved hearing your brother speak!

Adorable brothers‼️👍 And such a fun and interesting interview! The intense emotions of the INFJ came through in Kevin’s remark on how he filters them more. INFJ’s take on the feelings of others which makes everything more I tense and spontaneous especially when interacting with others. Great video‼️👍

This was a very insightful video, great job!

This was great. Would love to see more interactions and seemed very hepful in understanding. Both of you are very intriguing and informative on physical/emotional displays of this topic.. Not just a book/research of literary understanding is wonderful.. Great Great video..

I think like your brother also. I don’t bother sharing important things until I gather enough information on the person. I have tons of journals/diaries that I’ve NEVER SHARED AND NEVER WILL. My perceptions philosophy u name it , I don’t share because no one will get it. I live in my head totally. I’m thinking and I’ve thought before that I might be INFP.

absolutely beautiful. i really enjoyed this. thank you for sharing. Fe vs Fi. Also French is such a beautiful language, smh I didn't pay more attention in my French classes.

Thank you! most interesting to see your simalairities as brothers! It shows even better the type differences truly insightful!!

Thank you for bringing your brother along. It was really sweet listening to you guys converse in your language and observe both of you knowing you are related. Well played, Ren! The topic was very interesting. I am enjoying your videos more and more and I am starting to think that an INFJ really grows on you. Never mind appearance, but one gets used to the 'good' vibe on a deep level. Much more so, than I think one would appreciate any other type. I am talking in circles ha ha, because I am married ^_^ What I am saying is, you are lovable. But to make it less embarrassing for me, I think of it as how others would perceive me as an INFJ. So in a sense, it's a self praise. :D That makes it OK.

I really loved this video. Very interesting to see two brothers and also you translating from French to English!

Great video. Being infp I relate so thanks for making it. Have a good day. Peace.

I'm loving this because I'm also learning French! Parfait! Merci beaucoup.

When I'm fully immersed in the. " Absract Realm " of Ni, the external world falls into the background and becomes blurry .... This was a very interesting and enlightening video ! I'm eternally curious about the inner - world of Infps and Kevin expressed himself very well ! He seems like he is a well - intergrated personality - very self - aware, which IMO is a hallmark of Fi ! The users of this function, are, at all times in touch with their feelings and emotions ! And can explain them in - depth. I have noticed this skill with every Fi user that I have conversed with ! Not so with me ! I either have to express myself either through the medium of wrting , or discussing my feelings with a trusted person, in order to tap the feeling part of my consiousness....

Merci, Ren and Kevin for talking together. Blessings

Interesting discussion and dialouge. And a good French lesson!

2:36 HAHA as an INFP I saw myself in him as he gazed into an oblivion of nothingness

9:12 Interesting distinction... I too have a notebook filled with philosophical pondering and notes on story ideas, but I've never felt the need for a diary. I also type as an INFJ, so it's good to know there's some consistency there. :)

Enjoyed your conversation very much. I too am primarily INFP but with INFJ aspects. I am originally from Erik Thor's channel, drawn here after your collaboration because I'm trying to figure out the dichotomy. This discussion was quite useful in helping me to understand my mixed feelings.

Très bel interview, les gars. Et quelle joie de voir une telle amitié entre deux frères qui sont INFP et INFJ (moi qui est INFP et ma meilleure amie “ame soeur” une INFJ)… je vois pas mal de points en commun dans votre dynamique et la notre. bravo!!

Thank you, Ren! After watching this video, I know for sure that I'm an INFJ. I've taken the MBTI test many, many times... and I always get INFJ-OR-INFP. Now... it's settled. I was beginning to think I'd never know for certain. Now subscribed! :)

We need more videos of this !!!

This is very like me & my sister. I'm INFJ and my sister is INFP. Neither of us have ever kept a notebook seriously like that, we can't take it seriously. But my sister definitely keeps things in in the the sense that when she's sad/mad enough to cry or something, she won't explain anything to others. I can be more expressive though & prefer to explain my feelings if someone doesn't understand why they affected me.

This was very interesting. Thanks

This was awesome!

The biggest difference visible from the very first start is INFJ staring and gazing, and INFP wandering around with eyes.

Woahhh that was so interesting. I came here because I needed help to be sure, but I ended up watching out of sole interest!

Honestly.. I hear a lot of Se for an INFP. Mainly because he seems to have a lot of appreciation for aesthetics, so basically how the world 'looks'. An INFP is more like an INFJ in the sense that we want to understand the world in general. In my opinion it's a common misconception also that INFP's only care about the world from their personal perspective (we value Ne very strongly after all). ISFP's tend to be more self centered generally. But that's what makes them such great artist (musicians, painters, writers), better than INFP's i think. I can see how third slot Ni can look like an INFP. But i think looking at the function that's being ignored (blindspot) is usually a better way too tell how to separate the types. I see a lot of Se in him, but no Ne interest at all. Also i believe that the MBTI test is somewhat biased against sensors unfortunately. Which i don't think is fair. I don't wanna be just another 'RU-vid smartass' who thinks he knows better. Just wanna share my thoughts because i think ISFP's are often mistaken for INFP's. Which creates stereotypes that are often not beneficial for both types.

I need to watch again. I do remember you have very distinct differences.

Loved the difference in your facial expression. Your brother seem to be very relax and going with the flow of your needing to present a very well done and informative post. Which you did brilliantly. Are Infj always so intense in presenting their ideas or just part of who we are?

I love it! I grew up with an INFP sibling, too, my sister who is just one year younger than I.

C'est super intéressant et instructif. En gros c'est moi INFJ et ma collègue INFP. Je lui ai fait un classeur avec mes notes sur le MBTI et sa personnalité. Mais à cause du Te en 4e fonction, je pense qu'elle ne sera juste intéressée qu'en surface (pas envie de réfléchir XD) Elle a cru que j'avais les dons de voyante XD, je lui ai expliqué qu'on avait juste toutes les deux de l'intuition. Pas facile à expliquer pour ne pas passer comme quelqu'un de bizarre, surtout qu'elle passe très vite d'une idée à une autre, ou d'une action à une autre. Dans ce que ton frère dit par rapport aux émotions : On distingue clairement le Fi du INFP et le Fe du INFJ, et on comprend mieux la différence. e : spontané, extériorisé / i : besoin d'y réfléchir avant, plus profond et intériorisé. C'est drôle et fascinant les points communs que partagent les personnes ayant la même personnalité. Je n'ai jamais eu de journal intime non plus, bien que j'ai toujours énormément penser, et déjà eu l'idée d'écrire. J'ai pas mal écrit il y a quelques mois durant ma dépression et anxiété, pour m'aider moi-même avec le psychologue. Bien que le psychologue ne m'a aidé autant que je le voulais (J'ai plus eu l'impression que c'était moi qui lui apprenait des choses) RU-vid et moi même m'ont bien plus aidé (les chaines "Psych2Go" et "Frank James") J'ai découvert que j'étais INFJ et le MBTI à ce moment là, et c'est ce qu'il m'a le plus aider, de savoir qu'il y avait d'autres personnes comme moi, et que mes décisions et manière de voir les choses n'étaient pas aussi bizarres que ça. Que c'est normal que je fonctionne comme cela. Juste des papiers, cahiers, avec des notes psychologies à propos du MBTI, psychologie, philosophie, dessins, idées. Le plus souvent : des notes par ci par là. J'arrive assez facilement à être détaché du monde concret, ça peut paraitre effrayant XD. D'autres (peut être) points communs et différences : _ On pense plus aux autres qu'à nous même en général, on veut aider les autres : Moi INFJ je veux que les gens aillent bien avec leur santé mentale, en apportant des conseils plutôt abstraits, psychologiques. Veux que les gens soient heureux, sains, biens avec eux-mêmes, en bonne santé mentale surtout. _ elle INFP apporte de' l'aide physique (nourriture, objets, choses) aux autres, qui à tout donner aux autres et rien garder pour elle, une énorme coeur. _ les deux ont une très bonne intuition : moi INFJ plus concernant des faits/situations/choses : quel évènement est suceptible de se produire ? elle INFP plus concernant les personnes : ce qu'il va se passer à cette personne dans le futur ? _ INFJ quasi jamais en retard, INFP : quasi toujours en retard. _ INFJ : ne perds quasi jamais ses affaires, INFP : perds ses affaires, ne sait plus où il a laisser ses clefs par exemple. INFP perds plus la tête que INFJ, avec sa nature "Go with the flow". C'est drôle d'avoir Se en 4e fonctions, et d'avoir une collègue INFP lui dire : tu as bien les pieds sur terre. _ Des soucis de sommeil : Plus jeune, je mettais toujours au moins 1h voire 2h pour m'endormir, ça va bien mieux maintenant. Elle : insomniaque, elle ne peut pas dormir sans somnifère. _ On pense que le monde pourrait être mieux, on adore les animaux, limite plus que les humains. On sait faire le tri dans les personnes à côtoyer ou non. _ Elle est très influençable, alors que moi beaucoup moins, voire pas. J'ai pu déterminer les types de mes parents, mais je n'ai toujours pas identifié celui de mon frère. Grâce à vous, je peux procéder par élimination, et sais maintenant que mon frère a Fi dans ses fonctions et pas Fe.

I appreciate how you articulate your French. As a non-native speaker (if at all), I could understand a good percentage of what you were saying or asking in French.

You guys are cuuuute ❤

The difficult part to distinguish is both INFP and INFJ want to accommodate and adjust to other personality, sometimes to the point where they lose the sense of identity. the difference is as an INFP when I prioritize their feeling over mine, it is more reason based. I want harmony and it is because I am too sensitive I am afraid that others might attack me if I don't handle them carefully. also I notice, it should always align with how much respect I have for that person, more one on one, and depends if they deserve it or not. I am very self sacrificial to the person whom I think is not a threat to me. for INFJ I notice they are more general to everyone they meet, even the person they don't like they still adjust themselves (unless violated maybe they doorslam you) and it's very carefully act out (a bit inauthentic but naturally make people comfortable, INFP is not natural doing this because they care so much about authenticity). INFJs prioritize other because they want harmony (same) but the intention is direct not in subjective manners, it's on the objective manners, (how is actually they feel, what their need, do I hurt their feeling, it's someone else feeling oriented), what others feel is what INFJs feel. if they sense someone's feeling need the certain type of act, INFJ unconsciously act adjusting to their need. let's combine with the pairing functions as for INFP an Fi users you have Te, Te cares what others THINK about themselves, so they are more on what OTHERS VIEW of them not what OTHERS FEEL of them "competency seeking type of people" (let's be honest). they can be excellent at that if they want it though. as for INFJ, Fe users have Ti, they don't care what others THINK about themselves as long as they can meet others feeling need, they're more how OTHERS FEEL because of them not what OTHERS THINK VIEW of them (Value seeking type of people). and INFJ too can borrow other's value to be their value and adopt it as theirs. another point is INFJ and INFP both love analyzing, this is the misconception why I was mistyped as INFJ all the time, because I do too, love psychology, I too dig deep philosophy and theology, but guess what, it always and will always touch my value or sense of me, I learn psychology because I am interested what my type is, my close friends and my love ones, INFJ on the other hand interested psychology for human in General not personal, I do dig down abou theology because I want to compare whether my religion, my belief is really truth, not in general and unattached like INFJ, I JUST REALIZED everything I do have sense of me. while INFJ has a lot more on their inner ideas, to understand more about this, I found Fi and NI can be misleading in some way, INFP Fi love to process information deeply, appear to be like INFJ who loves delves into complicated idea deeply Ni, but the root is different, INFJ can advance single information they get by adding nuance, details, mysteriously completing imagination about that information (provision to future even it's not happening yet) BUT THEY STILL NOT MAKING ASSESMENT or PROCESSING that information. they just obtaining that information intensely. while INFP, when they get information, it is the same way like INFJ which is in the form of Nuance along with motives and hidden pattern, but it is short and not provision to future, we're short at obtaining information, BUT we directly process it with our complex dense and intense value processing system which is called feeling, is it align with the value based judgement of previous pattern, we feel it, if it's right or wrong, based on how we imagine ourself in that situation. so for us INFP it's gonna be a lot easier to explain to someone about our conclusion because we know how to get it. while INFJ it's difficult for them to explain to someone since the idea itself is too complicated and intense to be put into words.

AGAIN, soo Nice to see how you Care about Kevin. Great to see you Both. Oh I always wished to have a brother so bad.....but Unfortunatelly die to Rhesus factor incompatability back then. My parents were not allowed to have more kids. Indeed there are differences with Kevin,s personality. But there is also some kind.of overlap between you. Made me some kind of emotional to see you get along so well....Just awesome GUYZ......could listen to you for hours on end, so interesting...💙 Hans

Just from watching. Your brother projected his own emotions more. His smile was infectious. I'm definitely an INFJ though. I could relate to your body language and his description of you.

There's a beautiful description at the bottom of page 14 if Gifts Differing, which, as an INFP explains pretty much how I do everything. The extravert's General is the one outside the tent controlling everything, while his Aides stand guard. The Introvert's General stays inside the tent attending to the important matters, while his Aides are the first person you meet as they defend off interruptions and distract people. They only let those who are important to us in the tent❤️

Very interesting video, thanks

I just happened upon this video in mbti search. I've never watched your channel before so didn't know which was which between you two in mbti.... but the minute you started talking, I knew who was infp because his hands immediately went to his face, then he dropped them, then they went again. That fidgety thing is v Infp. Overall your brother touches his face more than you do in the video. I'm infp too 🙂 my parents had the hardest time trying to get me to keep my hands still. I still can never do it.🤷🏽‍♀️

lmao look at that INFJ stare.

I love this! You guys are fascinating!😊 Happy new year! Are you familiar with typing people via microexpressions? If so, what do you think about it?

I’m an infj, with an infp sister.

C'était très divertissant de les voir et de contraster vos caractéristiques. Je suis entre l'INFJ ou l'INFP et votre vidéo m'a donné quelques indices. Je vous remercie.

I feel robbed if someone looks into my journal 📔, if I become what is needed I’ll give you , but don’t look into my world 🌎

I am an INFP too. Those eyes are very common on INFPs 😂❤❤❤

Thank you for this! I am starting to identifyaa bit more with INFP, but I'm gonna have to explore the differences.

Watching the English subtitles try to translate his French is hilarious. Great video by the way.

When I'm doing something, it's as if the world does not exist. 🤓

Interesting video. I can see that Fi Dom thing from your brother. 👍🏻

Intéressant comme vidéo ! Je me considère comme une INFP et j'ai une soeur jumelle qui pense être INFJ. Mais cela ne l'empêche pas d'être sensible à la beauté et d'avoir une sensibilité artistique comme moi. Les différences se voient plus dans la capacité à se projeter dans le temps et à le gérer, et aussi dans la manière de gérer les émotions. Mais bizarrement à l'époque où je jouais de la musique en public, j'étais plus expressive que ma soeur.

What you brother said about something you have that he doesn’t is actually a INFJ thing sometimes we become too focus in one task that we forget about everything around it its kinda like the one tree vs forest. This can come in handy sometimes but can also be bad sometimes we even neglect are selfs too thats why we see INFJ forget about there health and to take a step back to relax. Very interesting video :)✨✨✨

I've never heard someone else articulate the idea of feelings losing intensity by putting them into words. After my Mom passed away I would at times refrain from communicating what I was feeling because it felt like the emotion would be diminished by condensing it into words.

I wouldn’t be so quick to type his brother as an Se user just because of his attention to aesthetics. It can easily be a result of him being an Enneagram 4 which is all about being sensitive to the beauty and aesthetics of everything.

So this is what INFPs are like in person? I've never met an INFP in real life so the dynamic between you two as an NFJ and INFP is interesting.

With INFJ it's always a case that if we are using too much of our introverted thinking we tend to forget our surroundings including people. When I do this I feel guilty afterwards because I it's quite hard for people to connect with me when I'm spending too much time in my internal world. I'm fascinated to know that another INFJ has the same experience.

This was a very interesting topic; I enjoyed the video and look forward to your brother joining you again. I’m an INFJ and I don’t keep a journal or diary, but I have been trying to write down daily thoughts and ideas in order to work on my neglected creative writing interest. I’m also very quick to express emotion. One way I seem to relate to your brother more than to you is in the subject of beauty. This is extremely important to me to put it very mildly. I wonder if it’s only beauty in your surroundings that you are less interested in than your brother, or is it all forms of beauty that he values more highly than you?

Oh wow you completely surprised me with your French. I had no clue with your accent (and I actually speak French!! It’s practically my first language, coming from Montreal.) Why do you sound like you have an Irish accent?

If you watch this video with the subtitles on it's pretty hilarious. I feel the more I learn about INFJ's and INFP's the more I am confused about which one I am. I keep a bunch of different journals on various subjects and a personal diary. Interesting video.

Hello! Glad to see INTerest in MBTI theory. It's been a long road for me. I'm INTJ btw. Nice to meet your brother. I'm not sure if either of you are typed correctly! Your brother has a very dreamy look to his eyes and a thoughtful way of expressing himself. Did you know he actually looks more like an INFJ because they have huge eyes?? Now, onto you whom thinks he's an INFJ..I think it's possible you are an INTJ. YOU describe Ni correctly but I haven't delved into your videos to see which fx you have studied yet. I think you should read up on all the fxs. Choose only 4, the ones that are most similar to you. That's a great start into accurately identifying yourself. When I got here around 2010, there was nothing anywhere. Things are better now. I'm telling you when you are studying the fxs according to Jung and Freud ( Freud is incomplete, I find), you will which fxs you use, and which you do not! The way your brother describes you is like myself, hyperfocused on something I'm interested in, the world falls behind. I could care less about the mess around me. Laughingly, the thing that sticks out the most about you is your easy ability to speak!! That's The!! Guess what?? INFJ has no TE! Now, what do you say?

What a cute brother! Hello from Denmark.

Oh this was so interestin nd so compelling thankyou both of you I coyld indentify with INFP traits as well as INFJ asthetics mean just as much to me andaffect all my world inner and outer ugly suroundings cause progressive malfunction in me. Thank you.

Fun watching you both utilize together your intuitive processes. Which one of you is older?

Super j'ai adoré ! Bonne année 2019 ! Venant du Québec

The eyes are different. The eyes says it all. I'm an infj too. ❤️

INFPs can’t help but display their Fi feelings on their faces. INFJ smile more in company due to Fe.

I've been called autistic 😂 You're def an INFJ Ren 🙂

Oh si contente de trouver une video en francais ! Je pensais que vous etiez anglophones xD

You guys are so cute. I love ❤️ this. So Ren u retook the test so u still came out INFJ I’m assuming because I had to leave before u finished.

If you watch it with no sound you can tell a huge difference! Its crazy. Still trying to figure out what I am because I feel like I am both of you mixed up.

Thanks for not plagiarising someone else's video on the subject of INFP vs INFJ, there are plenty that have already been booted up fifty times along with all the mistakes of the original publisher.

10:24 This is the power of Ni 🤣🤣🤣

I can relate to your brother but not to every degree tho I am an INFP myself. Maybe there's difference for each of us despite being similar :) About sharing though, I am one of the chatty INFPs that others even mistook me for being an extrovert. But now that I think of it, I only share a certain part of myself to them, each depending to the level of trust we share and the common grounds we have. I give the impression I'm opening myself up but that's like the tip of the iceberg. I keep journals, too, as I like to record what I learned and realized today more than what truly happened. Not so heavy in magnifying my feelings to the point of writing it down cause I understand what I feel on the get go and could even explain why I feel it unless it gets TOO MUCH - too painful, too exhilarated, too anxious, etc. Cause then the feeling would be too much for me to keep I could at least share it in words (thru pen and paper of course) so I don't get too overwhelmed. A feeling too great is part of my highlight reel, whether it be a good one or bad lol but yea, I keep a philosophical journal too for my internal musings and for when spontaneity kicks in. I guess one thing INFJs and INFPs will always have in common is the desire to grow/improve as a person 😊

INFP is here 🙋‍♀️

Everyone including me: nice interesting and insightful video Me when out of curiosity turn the captions on: "hehehe, yes RU-vid, he did say 'Bob' X] " .
