To clarify what I meant by “non-religious, ” I meant to describe somebody who typically does not devote themselves to a particular religion, to the point of allowing the religion to create division between people. This is opposite of maybe a Te-lead who’s very much like, “I don’t care who I upset. These are the rules.” And when push comes to shove, the INFP will typically seek interconnectedness over division and disharmony.

EDIT: Because some people seem to have difficulty understanding this concept, I will add that if this clarification is not relatable to you, meaning devotion to your religion does tend to cause friction in your life, that it’s not easy for you to connect differing ideas together seamlessly, you are most likely not an INFP. You most likely do not have strong extroverted intuition.

I like the quote "all of us to be a little more open minded to the consequences of our action before we start engaging and doing." ❤😊

INFP Male ... Very religious ... Great video--thanks for the upload.

[ProDigit]

As an infp, I can't relate.
I'm religious, and anti politics, since politics is The perfect example of immorality hidden from the surface

[MrNiceGuy]

Infp here. Very religious, internally. I don't preach on the street corners

[dennismakaveli]

I'm a Pisces and INFP
I'm deeply religious with a philosophical character, I read alot and I love deep conversations, i believe my purpose is to not to change the world but make it a little better for my fellow brothers and sisters known as mankind

[Jenmoon]

INFP here, and I DO philosophize all day 😂
I’m deep into the esoteric meanings of things.
Topics like this spark interest and amazement. I love taking a look between the lines. 😉

I think in the past, INFPs may have been the shaman or healers of the community, whom people would seek out for their wisdom, understanding, and insight. For that reason, and in our current "hustle" society, many INFPs are probably playing the game of life in advanced mode! 🎮

It must be pretty tough-going sometimes, but I value the amazing INFPs I know for their adherence to their values, their non-judgmental care for others, their endless creativity, and their offbeat sense of fun! 🥰 And much more.

INFP 9w1 sx/sp here. Great video! I am one religious INFP tho 😂 And I am open minded (Ne 2nd) as far as it doesn't conflict with my beliefs and values (Fi 1st). I relate to everything you said. Lots of love Aimee. Loved the video 💕

I pay very little attention to politics. So much of it is fake and people posturing. Also you can’t really question things without people getting offended. It’s just a no win. I take in enough to say this is ridiculous and to paint a picture of what’s happening but it’s often not interesting enough to go further.

INFP - T Religion for me is the path towards perfecting the human, and perfection is so important to me.

[sthmrtn]

These videos are manipulatively good at appealing to each type. Good work 😂

[khadeejadja]

Welcome back, Aimee and congratulations for the arrival of the baby boy in your family. All the best for your motherhood journey.

Great video. The most nuanced and insightful MBTI descriptions I’ve seen

So being a relatively younger INFP I didn't know humanism was a thing, but it really does point out one of the bigger things that we try to believe in. I like took the time to make something very similar growing up cause I just needed something to believe in, and humanism basically almost sums up what it is in a lot of ways.

[chriselliott]

This helps. Having a focus on being ethical and moral and to want to be of service has led me to understand that these things *are* what it means to be religious - but without blind belief in some God on a cloud with a comb in his pocket. Whereas I know people who claim to be religious - but use their "religion" to justify and excuse the most heinous crimes - like the genocide in Gaza, for instance - "God told me to etc etc etc

[francishaines]

I am INFP-T. Thank you for this information. Definitely non-religious.

[melioraemeritus]

Hmm...okay, I had to jump off my phone to write this since it might be hard to explain.

Humanitarian is a good term, but I think when one bumps into an INFP who is religious, to prevent someone from feeling confused about their type since it sounds like a contradiction - it would be best to delve into what each term implies, what radiates in the background.

Humanitarian is perfect for Fi, in general, but INFPs lack the straightforward A-B intensity ISFP receives from Se-Ni (seeing the object and knowing its purpose). INFPs are softer due to Ne-Si flexibility - what are they not seeing in the picture? what if there's a good reason why a person behaved this way? It would be difficult to be a humanitarian if you only acted as a judge dolling out punishments & rewards based off whether someone's broken the law or not. Judges aren't meant to be seen as cruel because they obviously need a firm grasp of the situation to give a fair ruling, however, if Se-Ni's judging the person will be harsher and less sympathetic - you did x, it caused y, so now z is the result, sorry not sorry, kiddo, that's the way life works. INFP will give you another chance to prove your virtue or take a hands-on approach to help you be better.

Religious attitude has more Fe elements. A religious person will surrender completely to another entity and devote their life to it. Fi is loyal, which has a more cautious approach to it and they might deviate from a thing in the future - which, I think, is quite common for modern day Christians. Religious fits Ti, as well, since it's a completes their desire for a system and excuses its lack of empiricism.

i know i have asked this before in another video but, can you tell me the "if you are like/not like this, then you are not an infp"? it really helps me understand the type more.
perhaps even debunking some stereotypes surrounding infp's? because i've seen some stereotypes being emotional and crybabies. i see people in the community saying they are commonly people who believe in stuff like zodiac signs, myths and are not usually grounded.
which are the few enneagram types do you think fits the infp personality?
and what do you mean by "non-religious"?

thank you and no pressure answering all the questions if you don't want to.
i'm in love with this series btw, been rewatching the videos while waiting for the ones of the other types :)
