I think INFP experience and expressions of feelings and emotions are misunderstood. Not that we are one homogeneous group who think, feel, or approach emotions exactly the same, but there are commonalities across the board.

So, INFPs, how would you describe your emotional life?


How do you think it differs, in your view, from INFJs or INTJs, for example?


What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about INFPs and their emotions?


The judging Feeling function is introverted. That is, Feeling is used primarily to govern the inner world of thoughts and emotions. The INFP will therefore:
  • develop an inner emotional life that is often unseen to others, but is experienced as intense
  • retain a strong sense of values, which are often not expressed
  • emotionally accept or reject various aspects of life - for example, deciding whether praise or criticism received is valid and, at extreme, ignoring whatever is unacceptable
  • feel appreciation towards others, but not express it
