5 Signs You're Not An INFP

The INFP personality type - many people seem to identify with this type code, but not all of them have the corresponding cognitive functions.

This video discards the misleading I-N-F-P dichotomies, and focuses instead on the cognitive functions in order to give you 5 clear signs you're not an INFP.

Special thanks to Alex Proust and Kiara Kerrick for the subtitles!

About me:
Hi, I'm Harry, and I'm intensely passionate about personality typing and self-development - so much so that I have created my own Jung-inspired system, taking a more high-resolution look at the factors making up personality.

Through Cognitive Personality Theory I examine the underlying mechanisms behind cognition, and the means through which a single type can have limitless individual variation - I believe type itself is just a set of cognitive predispositions that can according to the needs of the situation be overcome.

I don't believe any type is limited in what they can achieve, but have noticed sensationalist attitudes and internet trends propagating a culture in which type-development is actively discouraged in favour of conforming to simplistic archetypes. Through CPT I hope to dispel various myths and oversimplifications of what constitutes personality type, and along the way encourage a healthier attitude towards type that allows a person to become not who they are told they are, but rather who they want to be.

Me: an INFP
Youtube: 5 signs you’re not an INFP
Just watching this to prove I’m really an INFP

[chikinwings]

Being an Infp, I think of myself as kind of dumb but kinda smart at the same time😌😂

[akhlasuddin]

Me throughout the whole video : ah... I need to get a dictionary

[AB-hdyh]

Just spent 12 minutes of my life understanding nearly nothing he said

[UmatsuObossa]

As an INFP, I don't understand the romanticism around this type, that other types want to say they're that. I'm such an awkward weirdo who can't make longterm friends because I rub people the wrong way because I value honesty too much, analyze everything in to the dirt, and am generally weird.

[xielianobsessor]

for some reason as an INFP i can have a mental breakdown over the fact that i can’t do a task and then when i do it i’m immediately like “omg i’m so cool and smart 🤪💅”

[uwusmolbean]

I've tried to watch this a couple times,
But space off into my own thoughts every time.
Hmmm.

[ishuika]

I came into this video thinking I might not be an with more proof why I am an INFP 😭

[sarawawa]

I think a lot of my struggle/pain comes from the fact that I WANT to know who I am. I want to be strictly defined, rigid, certain, unchanging, but that’s not in my nature. So it’s like I’m waging a battle against my own nature.

[bwyun]

so the fact that i always question my identity to the point of checking all the time if i am actually an infp... is PART of being an infp 😭

anyways thank you so much for this video... keep them coming!!

[ash.]

The fluid identity one really hit the nail on the head. I’ve probably spent my entire life trying to figure out who I am and the more I try to, the more confused I get. I don’t feel like I belong in society because how can others understand me if I don’t understand myself.

[kikicreates]

The more I try to educate myself about mbti, the more I get confused about my own type :')

[t.c]

I don't know why I'm watching this video...I know I'm not an INFP...guess I just enjoy listening to you explaining things 🤔

[riammy]

I think that you're probably the only youtuber who actually explaind what an INFP is properly. This I can definitely relate to. No misconceptions for once, I can see myself here.

[purritauwu]

As a INFP, I actually don't understand why some people like this type, I really don't have friends and I was bullied for being like this in my childhood, then, this become a trend, i feel confused

[JB-rhej]

I'm an INFP and this has got to be the best grasp of INFP I've ever heard. Please do more INFP content!

[leonalisandro]

My most used reply to everything is "Well yes, but actually no." or "I agree but I also disagree". It really annoys the hell ou of people. 😂

[learnerdecuriousqueen]

English is my second language and he is way too intelligent for me to understand... I don't understand these tough words and vocabs ;_;
I still watched the full video though...

[twitchster]

This man is incredibly difficult for me to follow. I don't know wtf it is but I keep drifting off into my own thoughts trying to listen to him.

[FlashBangBANGz]

Dude I love this guy. He actually separates stereotypes from facts. The stereotypes annoy me so much and have made trying to understand what type I am harder. Thank you.
