Hey it's Joel Mark Witt from Personality Hacker.

As an INFP your mind is fundamentally wired differently from other personalities. You've

probably already heard that you are an introvert, intuitive, feeler, perceiver. And a lot of

articles and resources focus on the behaviors you show the world as an INFP.

Behavior can be helpful - but it isn't the complete picture when figuring out your personality.

I want to give you a peek inside your mind to expose the mental wiring that makes you

Your four letter code INFP gives us insight into how your mind is learning information

The primary way your mind makes decisions is a mental process we've nicknamed “Authenticity.”

It's technical name is Introverted Feeling. When evaluating any decision - Authenticity

asks the question “Does this feel right?” It's a feeling process concerned with core

If one of your mental processes could drive - it would be Authenticity. Using this mental

process puts you in flow. You've been using it your whole life. It's how you decide

what to do each day. If Authenticity is how you make decisions

as an INFP, then the mental process we've nicknamed Exploration is how you learn new

information. The technical name for Exploration is Extraverted Intuition. When looking at

the world - Exploration asks the question “What if?”“What if time is relative?”“What

if everyone was forced to hug each other instead of handshakes?”“What if numbers had gender

assignment - what gender would you assign to the number eight?”Think about that four

passenger car again… if Authenticity is in the driver seat - then Exploration is in

the front passenger seat. It is your co-pilot mental process and what we call your growth

Of course - this is a four passenger car so you also have two mental processes in the

Sitting right behind the co-pilot is a mental process we call Memory. Memory is all about

precedent, safety, doing the reliable thing. It's about realizing who you are based on

This mental process has the development of about a ten year old child.

Finally - behind the driver of Authenticity sits a mental process called Effectiveness.

We call this your blind spot or three year old mental process. Effectiveness is a thinking

process and asks the question, “What works?” or “What gets the job done?” without regard

Notice - we haven't talked about INFP behaviors. Instead, I've been talking about the mental

wiring of your mind. Behaviors can only give us clues to how your mind is wired. It's

far more interesting to dive into WHAT CAUSES our behaviors as people.

Here at Personality Hacker - We don't talk about personality types for their own sake.

We think understanding your personality is one of the best ways to frame your personal

growth journey.And we attract INFPs who are interested in personal growth.Next up - I

want to talk about the best way to grow yourself as an INFP.

Remember the car model we used to show the mental wiring of your personality?  As an

INFP your co-pilot is the mental process called Exploration (it's technical name is Extraverted

This is what we call your growth position. It's the highest leverage point for growth

in your personality. Exploration allows you as an INFP to test

your convictions and core values in real-life situations.

Are they authentic to you?Do you have unrealistic expectations for the outer world?Is there

a piece of awareness you're missing? Sometimes the only way to experience your

own myopia is to get out into the world and see for yourself.

Exploration helps you get clear on what's true for both yourself and the outside world.

Instead of being seen by others as having your 'head in the clouds' you become inspirational.

There may even be a radically new way of experiencing a new point of view, leading to an awesome

new innovation. Growing your Exploration can be a challenge.

Every personality type tends to avoid growing their co-pilot mental process. But here lies

the power of understanding your personality.

It feels right to focus on something that can expand your experience of the world.

It feels like it's in alignment - that to feel more authentic - you'll need to continue

expanding the experiences and information you work with.

It should feel in alignment - that to continue doing the right things - you'll need to

get outside yourself and experience the world for what it is - not what you wish it was.

Only then can you discover what really matters to YOU on a core level.

As an INFP - Your Exploration process can help you refine what's right for you. Don't

ignore this advantage of increasing your awareness of the outside world.

Start asking “What if” questions. Start pushing buttons all around you just to see

Explore a new part of town. Get up on a Saturday and just start walking

with no agenda. Let yourself ramble. Try a new food each time you go out.

Do what it takes to start messing with the environment around you.As an INFP you will

bring the best version of yourself to the world when you get outside your comfort zone

Developing Exploration makes you as an INFP grounded and approachable.

We'd love for you to keep us up to date about your journey. One of the best places

to do that is our Facebook page (Facebook dot com forward slash Personality Hacker).And

of course - come over to Personality Hacker dot com and leave a comment - ask a question

- or take our personality test. Next I want to talk about the defense strategies

your mind uses that steal happiness from you.And of course - what to do about it.The word defensive.

You probably think of of an emotional state - or someone getting offended in the moment.

“She's acting so defensive.” someone might say.

But I'm not talking about emotions. I'm using the word positionally. As an INFP you

have a specific area of your mind that you defend.

As an INFP - That's your Memory process sitting in the backseat of your car. It has

the sophistication of a 10-year-old child.That's okay when you use this process to create intimacy

or playfulness. The trouble starts when you begin to rely on this 10 year old process

to convince yourself of core values you haven't tested in the real world.

Since Memory is concerned with precedent and what came before - it can stop you from expanding

your worldview and the experiences you take in.

Memory (it's technical name is Introverted Sensing) generally shows up when you're

afraid to take a risk – a risk you may intuitively know is right for you. For other people, playing

it safe is the best choice. But as an INFP you're much better at taking risks.

If you let your 10 year old of Memory do your thinking for you, it will encourage you to

become an “experiential shut-in,” closed to any new experiences and your convictions

At worst, INFPs can even become physical shut-ins, so afraid of taking risks they rarely leave

the house and instead choose to entertain themselves in a “safe” environment.

You need to explore and take chances to prevent becoming stagnant in your choices and worldview.

Don't let your Memory process steal your happiness.The solution is to focus on growing
