INFPs are passionate about their ideals.
They seek to live authentically, in harmony with their personal truth. While this subjective code is paramount to them, they don’t wish to impose their values on others. In turn, they don’t wish for others to impose their values on them.
INFPs learn from experimentation and exploration and many turn to the arts as an outlet to express their rich inner world. Novel experiences and the subjective response they elicit give them a greater palate of emotions to draw from in their continuous quest for satisfying self-expression and understanding.
The learning style for an INFP involves seeing patterns and connections using their intuition. Any time they try something new it gives them more experience in extrapolating these patterns.
For this reason, one of the keys to their development is to experiment and explore. This can require that they leave their comfort zone and therefore, is easier for them to do when they’re in a resourceful state.
They are independent thinkers who like to explore new ideas and concepts without being bogged down by conventionality or tradition. They are also incredibly introspective and often highly sensitive individuals who may find it difficult to express their true feelings in a public setting.
INFPs are also highly creative problem solvers who excel at working together with others to come up with innovative solutions to difficult problems. While they may be shy and timid in some settings, they can also be strong-willed, especially when they’re passionate about something.
