The “past recall” thing is an INFJ thing. As an INFJ I feel it is what helps us “connect the dots” and we also cross analyze everything anyone says to us with past conversations... and this is all done without trying or thinking... it just happens naturally with us. Hopefully what I hoped to make sense made sense. Lol. I’m terrible at explaining things that come out of my thoughts. Hope everyone is doing super and staying safe! ❤️

[CindaLeAnn]

💯 It’s so strange to have lived on this earth for 35 years feeling as if no one understands me, then to find out people do! It’s just a very small fraction of people. So small, in fact, that I may never meet someone like me. 😂 😭

Thanks for keeping me entertained while I was cooking!

[yesthatisababytoucan.youre]

We relate to everyone, but no one relates to us.
I felt that in my soul.
Thank you for this video, I related a lot, andI am going to share it with everyone I know so that they can hopefully understand me better 😂

Edit:
46 and 52 have me cry laughing 🤣

[georgeslone]

I’ll second the weird memory recall. I know things I don’t know how I know them as well as I have almost photographic recall of random slices of my life and by random I mean totally random.

[GvnLife]

This is so It feels so awesome to know im not weird! There are other ppl like me.

[ElodieN_INTJ_Typology_Insights]

All is so true.
47 _ stubborn : can be transformed into a positive thing : we just never give up, determination.
I likes the last : the most bizarre memory recall.
I think it’s because we have Ni Dominant function (good, true, useful/essence)
I think we remember well the things which are the inconsistencies, the negatives past events, the most useful/essentials things.
That’s why I remember what’s happen 30 years ago at kindergarten, but don’t remember what I ate yesterday. We are slaves of our own dominant function. Our memories are for the most Ni memories I think.

[axmy]

We procrastinate hard
*Very hard*
That's why I failed my exams. Lol
all were just facts 😂

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 30 years of experience dealing with people. I was branded a INFJ quite sometime ago. I never really accepted that evaluation because placing 'labels' on people puts them into a box. It limits their potentiality and personal growth. At worse, it can destroy a individual's self determination and freedom. However, the Myers Briggs Personally Test is interesting but somewhat incomplete. I have never encountered a 'classical' INFJ before. Why? Because certain characteristics of this personality type have many subgroups some of which overlap other MBTI personality types. That being said I will describe the characteristics of how a 'orthodox' INFJ thinks, behaves and responds in strict accordance with the MBTI Personalty Test. Be forewarned, I find some INFJ 'stereotypes' rather funny. And will approach such in a humorous fashion. INFJ's posess a wonderfully sense irony and will immediately recognize the silly 'stereotypes' others have attrubuted to let's start breaking some myths about INFJ Personalty Type

When a INFJ gives you the dreaded 'Death Stair' they are not attempting to understand you. They are wondering if you're carrying a gun. Killing INFJ's is a pleasurable experience. Why? Because everyone hates a smart ass.

INFJ's frequently experience 'Sensory Overload' issues. They love Forests, Parks and Woodland areas to recharge their batteries. Why? Because trees don't talk! A squirrel cannot complain it has 'Daddy Issues'. Pine trees do not suffer from 'gender identity' problems. And I have never seen a bunny rabbit strung out Crack Cocaine. Solitude is bliss.

Never say to a INFJ, 'I do not understand', They will run away screaming or jump infront of a bus. No one understands them. INFJ's sometimes don't even understand themselves.

INFJ's feel uncomfortable being around large groups of people. However, once you get them talking, they never shut up. Adolf Hitler, Martin Luther King and Gandhi were historical INJF's. You cannot win a argument with this Myers Briggs Personality type. They will always win... until they get shot.

Why do a INFJ 'Door Slam' people? Because it's called a Coping Mechanism. They dislike being emotionally hurt. There is nothing strange about this behavior.. Some people become acholics others pill poppers. INFJ's will just run away and pretend you never existed.

INFJ's have the psychic ability to absorb people's emotions. No. This is phenomen is called 'Transference'. If you continuously talk about your problems, a INFJ will unconsciously adopt some aspects of your emotional state. However, INFJ's posess strong identities which prevents them from going completely insane.

INFJ's are the most honest, compassionate and sensative people on Earth. Not really. Mother Nature just screwed them up genetically. They're brains are hard wired to respond during crisis situations. A 'diehard' INFJ will instinctively sacrifice their life attempting to save yours. No questions asked. Why? I have no freaking idea. I didn't invent the rules. Ask God. I'm sure She knows.

INFJ's think differently than others. Yes. They think outside the box. They live outside the box. They have never actually seen the box. What does it look like? Does it contain groceries?

INFJ types are occasionally arrogant, cold towards others and aloof. This is actually true. Being omnipotent has its drawbacks. INFJ's have a difficult time sugar-coating the truth. Being overtly honest is their trademark. If they sense someone cannot handle the truth, they will lie to protect that person's emotions.

INFJ's are stubborn yet will openly admit to errors in judgment or making mistakes.

INFJ's think too deeply. They want to solve everyone's problems. They get frustrated when people ask for advice, then completely ignore their recommendations. They do not understand why everyone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Eventually, a INFJ will simply give up. The phrase 'People need to learn things the hard way' was invented by a INFJ. So was the 'unfriend' button on Facebook.

INFJ's do not respect authority because they have developed their own Moral, Ethical, Spiritual and Cognative belief systems. Mature (older) INFJ's care very little about how people perceive them and less about the impressions they make upon others. INFJ's enjoy approval and acceptance (like everyone else) but infrequently compromise their princepals to simply fit in.

Do not mistake a INFJ's confidence as egocentrismn. There is a difference.

INFJ's are frequently interpreted as posessing a Narcissist Personalty Disorder. This stereotype is absolutely false. A Narcissist loves adoration and attention. The typical INFJ cares more about other people than themselves, sometime to their own detriment. For example, 5 military soilders are in a bomb shelter. A hand granade is thrown into the bomb shelter. One soldier immediately jumps atop the hand granade, attempting to save his comrades from the explosion. This is called self sacrifice. A Narcissist has 'Self Absorption' problems, not 'Self Sacrifice' problems.

INFJ's dislike themselves. They feel alone within the world and misunderstood. Being a INFJ a curse. Consequently, a small minority INFJ's often experience psychological Depression, Alienation Issues and Avoident Behavior problems. The phrase 'You are your own worst enemy' accurately describes a INFJ's perception of themselves.

The most admirable personality traits of the INFJ are (1) INFJ's care about you than themselves which makes them a easy targets for emotional exploitation and abuse. Never play 'Guilt Games' with a INFJ. They already persecute themselves (subconsciously) for being different. They don't have the ability to forgive themselves for past mistakes, A INFJ's unforgiving 'Guilt Complex' is an integral part of their personality. INFJ's have occasionally been known to slowly kill themselves over time, believing they deserve such suffering. 'Hell on Earth' is their punishment and they willing accept it....sometimes. Not always. (2) Once you secure the trust of a INFJ, everything about them suddenly becomes clear. The stereotypes vanish. These are people you want within your life. They have incredible insight into human nature and will identify your weaknesses and lift you up from darkness. Seeing the world through a INFJ eyes is the greatest gift they can offer.

It would be impossible to understand a MBTI typology without stating the negative traits of a specific personality group.

The 'Dark Side' of a INFJ is rather frightening. Never test their 'Authenticity' or personal dignity. Do not play games with a INFJ. They have limitations like everyone else. A INFJ can determine your intentions or plans within minutes. Literally. This Hyperobservient behavior is quite unique. Avoid getting into heated arguments with a INFJ unless you are prepared to be intellectually, emotionally or psychologically castrated. They have cognitive resources almost beyond understanding. A vindictive INFJ will never stop until they destroy your life (this has nothing to do with physical murder). Such behavior is almost Psychopathic in nature (hence the concern INFJ's may be catorgized as possessing a Psychological Disorder rather than a Personality Dysfunction). Fortunately, INFJ's are not prone to violent behavior. They give up easily, This is where the 'Door Slam' or simply walking away from an argument comes from. Once they reveal their true inner nature, you will begin to understand why only 2% of the world's population are INFJ's. They are so dam charming.

INFJ's dislike small talk, idle conversations, superficial people and hypocrites. Life is too short talking to such individuals (but they understand its occasionally necessary to be socially accepted)

INFJ's are not spontaneous. They just pretend to be spontaneous. Their minds are always attempting to 'connect the dots' even when there are no dots.

Avoid getting into deep conversations with a INFJ. They are walking encyclopedias. They will jump from topic to topic then back again to support a idea or theory. Male INFJ's are 'scattered brained' in the worst way possible. But there is method to such madness. The are searching for the correct answer to a specific problem. And 95% of the time they will discover it... or have a complete nervous breakdown trying.

Occasionally, you will notice a INFJ acting mysteriously, doing unusual things or just behaving weird. Get used to this behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. The INFJ is just going through a 'stage' or experimenting with something that interests them. Like building a Thermonuclear Bomb or discovering a cure for Herpes.

Never tell a INFJ they have a 'Old Soul'. They are absolutely terrified of being reincarnated again. INFJ's are acutely aware that neither Heaven or Hell wants them. Why? Because God doesn't need the extra competition on who should run Heaven (Him or a INFJ) and Satan can't deal with a INFJ pestering him for all eternity....that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Aliens will never abduct a INFJ. There are some things too bizarre even for Extraterrestrials.

Men of all ages, groups and backgrounds fall instantly in love with INFJ women. They give the appearance of a graceful dove. Pure and innocent. No. They are just horny.

INFJ's have a difficult time forming a thought or idea into words. Yes. Someday a INFJ will develop telekinesis and scare the hell out of everyone.

So next time you accidentally encounter a INFJ, break all COVID 'Social Distancing' issues and hug them. INFJ's are a endangered species. Literally. Whatever purpose they were created for has already been accomplished. This Myers Briggs Personality represents the noblest aspects of humanity....Intelligent, Wise, Caring, Virtuous, Altruistic and Protective. And they have a excellent sense of humor (wink).

Memory recalls😳, yeah those flashbacks actually happen...I thought I was the only one

[drusillialeavel]

Exact for everything!
*45 "I receive constructive criticism poorly" (BUT !, ... don't sow it)
*40 "we make friends very easily but don't have friends" I FIND A WAY TO HAVE FEW FRIENDS : I tell them no mater if you call me back or see me in tow month, tow years, or ten years you still be my friend fore me. AND IT WORK!



P.S.: you have the same sense of humour as me..

[TrulySaurabh]

"We procrastinate hard"
*nods in agreement whilst procrastinating*

[lesnash]

Memory recall....
Do any of you feel like you meet the same people over and over?
I'm 46, and for the last several years I'll meet someone or be in a situation where I think "Hang on. Been here before.".
I call it as intuition kicking in.
Anyone else?

[aprilshowers]

I related to everything in this video but when you mentioned the memory recall I just had to laugh. I always thought I was mentally off or had ADD, but it may well be an INFJ thing. Ill literally place any object down and walk away for 2 seconds and wont be able to find it upon return but ill always know where my one expensive prized item is at all times (My Iphone)😂 I guess no matter how organized I try to be I can be scatter brained when my mind is thinking at high velocity . Also when people ask me about my past I can't seem to recall any of it and will result in the person asking me if I had a tramatic past and Ill be like ...no??? I just don't remember anything eventful? I guess I don't care to keep my past memories i like to look forward and improve as well as help others be the best version of themselves :)

[CTSCAPER]

We love lists.
We love lists in order from most to least important.
We love lists with a minimum of three items.

[nancyrhyne]

It's even hard to put into thoughts what we experience in our brains. I love to daydream. One of the INFJ things that I do is to rearrange other people's furniture in my house. Just nutty.
