What I LOVE about INFPs (as an INTP) 

I am an INFP and INTPs are one of my favourite types because you can have a really intelligent, deep and interesting conversation with them. They are free thinkers and they get what I am saying, whereas a lot of people don't.

It's nice to be called intelligent. Sometimes when I speak, I don't sound very intelligent. I can say I have a very good relationship with my children now they're adults, but I had a hard time with disciplining them when they were teenagers - I could always see their point of view in the (sometimes bad) decisions they made. Those were rough years, but they have turned out to be responsible adults, so it wasn't the disaster it seemed to be at the time.

My dad is an INFP. Sometimes that Fi love can be overwhelming. But it was nice growing up with another intuitive in the house.

I as an INTP absolutely love my INFP friend. It’s like, she’s very nice to talk to but not in the ‘I agree to everything u say’ way, and has all the wonderful ideas and gush about songs with me and gives out wonderful hugs too! She also often spaces out like I do and when we sit together we dodn’t have much to say or do but we have a wonderful quite time. It’s like MeTime with warm human presence!

I’m an INFP and I looove the intelligence and stoic nature of INTPs ❤

Awwww that was so sweet🥰🥲 As an INFP i feel the most validated when an INTP or ISTP (Ti dom) calls me smart, I think because of that inferior Te, I always think I’m stupid to be honest and i see Ti doms as the smartest, so i get intimidated talking to them because they just don’t let anything illogical go no matter how insignificant it is. I can also feel they get intimidated by me the same way but with my Fi dom instead because I don’t let any small inappropriate thing go and i feel sometimes that I’m hammering their inferior Fe with my Fi so if we don’t understand our insecurities we tend to see the other as arrogant. But when we do understand our insecurities and each other the connection is AMAZING. We just flow so well together so yeah i love Ti doms especially INTP❤️.

That timid part honestly ....we r innocently wild :)

Infps and intps are the kind of people that can have deep serious discussions about who's anime or comics character is the strongest without feeling weird lol

That has to be the most accurate AND complimentary synopsis of an INFP I've ever heard. As an INFP myself, I really appreciate that--thank you!

As an INTP I also really like all that stuff about INFPs, they're the best haha 💞

Hey, INFP here. Thank you for the love.

I'm infp with intp husband. I find him the funniest person ever, so intellectually stimulating, and such a great balance for my tendency to brood. 21 years married and 7 kids. Two nutcases perfectly aligned.

I'm an INFP and I love when other types can describe mine better than I can, like in this case. It is heartwarming to see when people notice our odd little quirks.

I feel seen :) I think INFP intelligence is overlooked - possibly because of the combo of eccentricity, open-mindedness, and humility (which create the opposite of the stereotypical genius persona, which would be a bit more bold and single-minded if not narrow-minded). I remember when I tested in the 99th percentile as a kid on our standardized tests, my parents' response was to assume I was some kind of savant, because I was so day-dreamy and un-interested in school hah. That said, not always easy for us to be productive with that intelligence, and it can fly under the radar indefinitely. It's like driving a minivan with a 1600 hp Hennessey Twin Turbo V8 engine driving in a 25mph zone.

I find ntps to actually be the most encouraging people out there (for me, personally). They're not over the top like Dom fe can be, so it's the perfect little dose of concentrated encouragement :p thanks for lovin on the infps Mike!

I always think that pets owned by INFP's are also extremely fortunate. They are ridiculously well loved, cherished and well taken care of.

I’ve now figured out that both my mom and my sister are INFPs with my sister being a bit more extroverted and my mom being super introverted. I really connect with them and they are the only people that truly understand me. We have a lot of opposing view points in politics and such but we share many values and can talk about most things in the grand scheme of the world and the human experience. Their great to have around. My sister can be funny sometimes and there’s my mom being a ditz haha

INFP (make) with INTP brother. We are best friends, we essentially never get bored when we are together. He made me tougher and I showed him the the importance of emotions. I didn’t realize how lucky we got with our brother pairing until I understood typing on a deeper level.

INFP here 👋🏻 First of all; I may speak for all of us, but your hair looks great! And the more you worried about it, the more I wanted to make you feel comfortable about it! I just had to comment because, of all the little animations and clinical and well-produced videos I’ve watched about INFPs, this was by far the most accurate and most precise! And I think that is because you’re in INTP to analyze it!m and recognize it so well. Good for you, we love you back! I’m already ready to defend! Will defend !

It's always nice to hear other people's perspectives on INFPs. We can be incredibly down on ourselves and self critical at times. Hearing stuff like this can help snap us out of it.

Conceptually; they be cuddles that warm souls, like puppies, kitties and all the other adorable stuff concentrated into one being.

Remeber power puff girls in the late 1990's? Would bubbles be an "INFP"? She was not the "smartest" or the most combat savvy but the very moment her sisters are hurt; her power explodes as she overcomes all her limits to do whst is right.

It's great that someone can see beyond the surface of INFPs and not just judge a book by its cover. To me, INTPs are the most intelligent type but INFPs are probably the best predictors of future social trends because we can feel what moves the masses and what they are looking for - without the masses being aware of it at the time. George Orwell was an INFP. My secret crush is an INTP and I was the one who initiated the contact. He is an INTP prime example in the best possible way :) If he hadn't become a successful doctor, I'm sure he would have been a great physics professor or teacher :) Even though, as an INFP, I don't share all of his hobbies, I can let him be who he is. I've also noticed how some people think he's quirky, but to me, that just makes him more attractive, lovely, and interesting. He is a very caring person but has sometimes difficulties expressing it. I believe that INFPs are INTPs' softer twin :)

INFPs are warriors of love.

As an INFP, I find that INTP ares not the best at expressing their feelings in words but their way of caring is just so pure and honest. My INTP friend stll listens to me rambling about my depression tho he said he couldn't understand my complex emotions:')

I can die in peace now.

Well, thank you so much! - INFP

As an INFP married to an INTP, I have to tell you...in the beginning of our relationship the bouncing of ideas off of me was fun and flattering. 7 years later, it's just...triggering. I feel INTPs are mega escapists, and have their priorities backwards. They tend to avoid responsibilities of daily life by spending most of their time in their dreamland, fantasising. We INFPs fantasise too, but we do that in our free time, not when we have stuff to do. It can feel disheartening to constantly expect the INTP male to return to reality and support you with whatever is pressing in the household/relationship or with children.

Awww thanks, Mike. Yup to the dancing. I've always been like that and my son doesn't get it. He'll come out and be like frig, she's at it again. Why?? 😂 But yeah, if a person is in our inner circle we will go to the mat defending them.

Aw, that's sweet to hear. I'm an INFP with an INTP husband. Both of us are artists, btw. He's by far the most honest, authentic, and wisest person I know. He's made me a better person by grounding me and forcing me to confront harsh truths I otherwise would hide from. He also struggles to not let his ego get the better of him, which sounds like a flaw, but it's worthy of admiration and respect. And I guess I should include myself in there as well, to be fair. That self-reflection and that constant struggle are a mark of humility and are essential to achieving purer objectivity.

wait, it feels so weird that the first thing he said was that we are intelligent... I mean, maybe? not sure but like, I always feel like I'm the stupidest in the room, lol, so I don't know how to take this.

I love INTPs as an INFP. I found an awesome soul who is INTP and he is amazingly great♡︎

"Bouncing off ideas" Thiss. I am INFP. My friend is INTP who is the most creative and talented person for me. He would come up with different ideas and it makes me think of crazy alternatives. Other types always ignore my ideas so I don't bother saying them out loud but with INTPs, they actually listen and consider my idea so when we combine, it turns out amazing😁😁

U made me happy with how u described us INFP's, especially about the intelligence part, when i was a student people used to think i was just the dumb and quiet guy, when in reality i was the one with highest results in the entire school XD i also found funny the teasing and dancing reference, thats totally me when im in high spirits while close to people i can trust. great video ^^

Nice to hear this 😁 I’m an INFP while my husband is an INTP. You are describing our dynamic 😄

Thank you, on behalf of all infps, this video reminded how much positive we could be and the purpose for which we were made.

Yeah. I'm here acing my AP and IB classes and then disappointing my parents with the dream of being a writer and artist in a quite england countryside instead of being a business person or scientist😂. Yes, we can be very smart, but that doesn't mean we apply it anywhere significant or make the smartest decisions, thats partially why we are not "known" for being one of the smarter types or in his words "they can be 'surprisingly' intelligent".

As an infp, it seems like many ppl think we’re dumb, simple, sweet little dear things. It’s so wrong😂

Me (INFP) thinking my comedic style was from my trauma…but I learned something new today 😅

Maybe I think INFP are like opposite than INTPs in terms of feelings maybe that's why we find them kinda unique

Im an INTP female and I adore INFP men. I don’t think I will ever catch one…they have a great potential to break my heart. They are fickle and have very high standards for being wooed/seduced. They are positively dreamy though.

New sub. And have to say...this is the first time I've been made to feel positive about my personality type...INFPs seem to be the butt of the joke more often than not. But I'll let you have the last word..as long as I get the last laugh, lol. Seriously though...people say they like people who are different...then I'll walk into a group of pierced up tie-died ultra feminists and open my mouth one time and they just stare back at me confused or expressionless and at least one will simply say, "you're weird." Like it's a bad thing, lol. Posers, lmao.

i'm an INFP and i recently made friends with an INTP. we've been rambling to each other for days now piecing together an ARG we really like. ☺️ it's really nice that there's another type that gets passionate about a topic (especially a niche topic!) and can discuss things with them for hours, getting lost in our heads until the introvert fatigue kicks in. INTPs are the best when it comes to bouncing off ideas. INFPs ane INTPs are an unstoppable force when together. so many thoughts and ideas that you want to talk about passionately - i relate to that a lot.

Thank you for your kind words about us INFPs

"they will defend you to the death" - nope... We defend beyond death. Never doubt that.

I'm an INFP and my bf is INTP. I love him so much 💖✨

Aww thanks for this! I really like intps too; my boyfriend and one of my friends are intps, and I would say you people are my favorite type, I may make a video like this about your type haha!

INFPS AND INTPS? Hmm, this will be a long one since INFPs are my ideal types. INFPs to INTPs are what metal are to magnets, there's just no way I can resist their shy behavior combined with their starry and enthusiastic eyes. Their closed off personality is just too mysterious to ignore and not be curious about. I JUST LOVE THEM!!! They've made me so emotional. To me, INFPs are the only people I would openly express myself to. People say INTPs don't talk about their emotions and are not good with them. It's true until they collide with an INFPs. It's like my emotional intelligence just skyrockets. I've heard INFPs brag that it's so hard to spot that they have a crush on you or they really like you. You just can't spot it. Is it really? Is it hard? A BIG NO FROM ME! When I hear them say that, I laugh in the most arrogant way possible because I've always easily spotted they romantically like me. I never once not noticed it. I think they just really like my maturity, mysteriousness mixed with childish look on life. Their love never goes under my intuition radar. ----Her subtle attention to each of my word is painfully obvious on her little face. Her holding her smile in while I'm looking deeply into her eyes is as obvious as blue sky. Only her getting my complex jokes. Her looking at me from the corner of her eyes and then very nervously looking away isn't difficult to pick up. Her getting bubbly and blushy after I encourage her is too cute to just not pick up on. Her ignoring me so that I call her name to take her attention. I see through all the little silly games they love to play in love. My emotional intelligence becomes so good around INFPs that I almost immediately understand what their insecurities are, what they're feeling, what they're passionate about, what they're sad about, what they wanna hear, and how they wanna hear it so that they don't get hurt. -----Like this one time, one INFP that was into me felt like her participation didn't matter in the class. I sensed it immediately. I went up to her, eased her up a bit, told her why her participation matters a lot to this class and me(yes I actually expressed It matters to me, very non-INTP thing to do). And you should've seen her, it's like she was trying to look away but couldn't resist my face. Her face couldn't believe someone trusts in her that she can do it. I know immediately when an INFPs have a crush on me. The thing is, they're very subtle and indirect. I'm a male INTP-A. I have studied what women usually like. What they find attractive. Every male INTP should do that if they want a healthy romantic relationship. It makes things so much easier. This is a tip for INTPs. When you put on a very attractive outfit that women like, like a long coat with a buttoned up shirt, basic hairstyle, and smooth pant with clean boots, you get confident so much that confidence becomes an aura around you that people notice immediately. INTPs don't know this, but we can be really really charismatic to people when we want to. Especially around INFPs. Once, an INFPs told me after a long conversation that I'm very charismatic(Deep down, I was blushing but on the surface I shrugged it off and acted stoic). If an INTP studies people, and know what they like. They can charm the F*ck out of people, especially women because Mature INTPs are just masculine but in a kind way. If you combine their intellectual capacity, a stylish outfit, their quick and cutting wit, their use of voice, their ability to read people, and their confidence, you'll get a really charismatic INTP. Seriously, I've done it so many times. I got compliments from ENFPs, ISFPs, INFJs and INFPs, and other people(whose personality I don't know) that I'm very charming. I got looks from random strangers. I saw girls staring me down from afar. I got looks of envy from other men too, I'm not joking. This one time, I actually made a girl(stranger) shiver and blush just by looking at her with a genuine smile and adoring eyes(I'm average in attractiveness btw). The personality most charmed by us will always be INFPs. Mature INTPs who are good with emotions seem magical to them. They get swooned by the smallest unpredictable things we INTPs say while flirting . ---Like this one time, I was asking for an INFPs signature, but she was hesitant. When I rephrased my sentence to be more personal with her. I said "I want YOUR handwriting on this paper". She was just moved and started smiling as she gave me her signature and the rest of the day she was checking me out from the corner of her eyes. She knew where I was the entire time. I sometimes also love to slip her name into every sentence because it makes her blush and feel butterflies. I can see her eyes glow every time I speak up her name. They just get us, our odd wordings, our humor, our theories, and our feelings. And I get them too. It's mostly because we not judgy of them and appreciate every little thing about them. INFPs, you are just magnetic. I, an INTP, know you're very private and put a wall in front of you even in front of people you really like. But as INTPs, wee take it as a challenge worthy of out precious time. I know that if you're hiding something behind that wall, it surely is worthy to break that wall and see what gems you're hiding behind that wall. And everytime I've broken that wall down I always found something that made me grow and love you even more. People like INFPs not being to able to resist INTPs is one thing that INTPs are really really proud of. It makes me act arrogant that someone as dreamy and intelligent as them mostly like someone like me. 10/10 personality type because they feel like just can resist me.

Thank you, I almost cried haha Just the being understood, seen and appreciated thing 🎉

As an infp who's favourite mbti are intps that video whelmed my heart to the core ! and quirky is definetly a word to describe me haha !

Sir Issac Newton Albert Einstein Paul Dirac Rene Descart Charls Darwin Fernando Pessoa All of them were INTP and they changed the world

Thanks bro, as an INFP I appreciate that.

Awww, thank you for all that. You sound like someone I'd wanna be friends with. My father is an INTP as well but, unfortunately, we don't get along that much... I miss some moral values in him. He can be very cold sometimes with his facts.

Great. This INFP tends to love INTPS!

My childhood friend is an INTP and I am an INFP. When we talk to each other, we don't use any formalities. Just right in to the point. We often discussing ideas, sharing insights, etc. about whatever. Seems like both of us tend to be excited by ideas even though it seems like we perceive ideas a bit differently. While I care more about the nuance of something, he seems to care more about the efficacy of something even though I still understand why that's exciting.

it's me (INFP) and I second you at each & every point.

Intp’s are that friend everyone likes cuz they like to make everyone feel good about them selves. Infp’s are like his emo cousin 😂 intp’s mean well tho infp’s are just closed about stuff

INFP here...thank you for the video:).

💗😍💗 I feel so loved! Thank youuu

You described my open mindedness perfectly. Yes, I will entertain ANY idea. I also won't discard an idea unless I feel it has been proven completely wrong. I am very open to "conspiracy theories" (a term invented by the CIA to get the general public to instantly disregard whatever ideas they don't want them looking in to). Sometimes I have to stop myself from going down any rabbit holes for a while though because the darkness sometimes found becomes overwhelming.

this whole video makes me feel really appreciated thank you sir

I’m an INFP and my boyfriend is an INTP, these were such beautiful words I’d like to think he feels the same. We’ve been together for 5 years though so I think I’m good haha. It’s interesting that you mention quirky, because yes to others I probably am, but honestly he as an intp is quirky to me. Honestly my ideas/thoughts are sometimes so out there he doesn’t even get me. XD probably because I’m coming from a total different perspective that isn’t always based on what is already proven fact. I like to think about what we don’t know yet. I do like to talk about controversial topics too.

I've dedicated my life to discerning truth. So if you ever would like to use me as a "sounding board" as you put it, I'm available. I don't reach out to people often but you seem cool. I enjoy playing in the NE (extroverted intuition) sandbox with NP's.

You are such a sweet guy!!! Are either of your parents an INFP? It was so nice to hear your thoughts on how dedicated INFPs are as parents, and you had a very sweet look as you thought of it (your own parent?) Thank you for the insight and video 🙏💗🌷✨

I love this! You totally nailed it. I was just dancing in my room to westside story. So funny how you just really understand us! Thank you

I find a lot of people aren't willing to assume that intelligent and especially scientifically knowledgeable people might be INFPs or ENFPs instead of some sort of high Ti or Te people. For instance, the science fiction short story writer is constantly typed as an INTP but I'm not convinced. Yes, he bases his stories on a lot of technological what-ifs, but the moral and value focus is so strong that I really can't help but think he could be an INFP. Same for CS Lewis, commonly typed as an INTJ, but I still can't help but wonder. Or people like Michio Kaku, which seems like a BLATANTLY obvious ENFP to me but a lot of people insist on typing him as an an ENTP because SCIENCE. I could still be wrong about any of these three but I still think the possibility they're XNFPs shouldn't be ignored. So, thanks for acknowledging that kind of possibility! :-)

I am an INFP...Hope to have a bf in the future..

This video is hott. I might be INFP.

4:15 they can be really fun Me an infp: that's an opinion Him: ...in my opinion Me: ._.

This dancing around the house in a giddy mood and teasing is something I can relate to. After a while I think I'm completely annoying and feel bad about it, but I somehow can't help it. I'm mostly entertaining myself and others are part of it. I even do it when I'm alone.

So weird, it's like you're describing me without even knowing me lol Love your channel by the way, Mike! 💛

This was a real nice confidence booster and i was nodding a long with you. Its not often i have moments where I celebrate or acknowledge these awesome parts of my personality, but today I did so thank you sir. Us quirks have gotta stick together.

Idk about other INFPs. In general i am a pacifist. But I will come for ur head if u make anyone feel they have less value as a human being. I don't even care if i lose my job 😅. That's about the only thing that can make me go berserk. I hope there are people who can relate 😅

"dance around the house" damn you got me

I needed to hear that!!!❤ I love you guys to intp's!! 🎉🎉

I'm an INFP male and I approve this message 👍

Sense of humor, eh? I'm sure all of us INFPs can agree that ESTJs suck. Serious note, an ESTJ was my old supervisor's right hand man. He decided I needed to be eliminated and caused all manner of grief for me. Following a complaint to the ethics group, an HR person came down from the ivory towers and administered the MBTI and then lined us up according to type and degree of each dimension. I headed the line and the ESTJ was at the opposite end for every line up (by dimension). The co-worker next to me and I began to chuckle which rippled down the line to a point, beyond which the rest didn't get the visual "joke" staring them in the face. Finally someone pointed out to the ESTJ that his arch enemy, namely me, was opposite him in every dimension - "it's like he's like your personal anti-Christ". Strangely, my dad was an ISTJ and we were best friends. Wifey is an INFJ. Best friend is another INFP. Would that there were more of us - the world would be a smarter and funnier place for it.

Guess I'm a true INFP. I don't know you and this is the first video I'm watching of yours, but after this I want you to tell me your ideas and feelings about all the theories😆 Also, I feel called out about the dancing around the house at random times. I have rhythm with no skill, but will I still do it, yeah!

This made me laugh a lot more than I expected. I am a little giddy with the compliments, despite knowing that they are not directed towards me. Thanks for the video.

intelligence and humility - true

I find myself dancing by myself a lot, sometimes without music! I just create things in my head that make me want to dance!

3:50 you'd LOVE "Fringe", I feel:) Last 2 seasons of "Goliath" as well.

Thank you for your kind words about us infp! I’ve never known an intp, but I hope to someday! 😊

Look at these effing rational types.. just coasting through life with no emotional hangovers.. sigh.. kidding (but not really) it's cool.. makes you realise there are many different ways of being.. helps you snap out of your incessant feeeeeelings.... so yeah thanks :)

INFP here... You should see some of the code I write

Thank you for making your video, from an INFP. 👍

INTPs are dolls & INFPs are soft toys. Lol this is probably the difference I find between me(INFP) & my INTP friend. I don't know how differently I should explain the differences. But we make up good overthinker couples Lmao

This made me feel really good, thank you.

Appreciate this, appreciate you. Thanks for sharing:)

This warmed my heart. Thank-you.

This is lovely 🙏 thank you INFP

INFP here ..and my favorite type is INTP !..their Ti function is amazing cuz it's our demon function as infps (the last one 😅).. They are smart , amazing , they speak deeply ..but what attacks me to them is their weirdness 😁 ..just like us , INTPs are weird and we INFPs are weird ..so we can get along ..and accepting each other ..❣️

I love INTPs

Any advice for possibly dating an INTP male as an INFP female ? I'm checking out yt because a particular INTP is kinda growing on me a bit. I'm living that whole 'once bitten twice shy' thing.

4:57 made me smile as an infp

Me seeing the title knowing my crush is an INTP:👀👀👀

You are such beautiful humanbeing

Thank you ❤

Your hair look great! Hope you didnt change them... ;-)

This is so sweet :)
