INFJ personality types and INFP personality types are two of the most intuitive personality types in the MBTI personality type system. Many people believe that the intuition of INFJ personality types and INFP personality types comes from both types being very observant, and subconsciously picking up on physical cues. While this is partly true, there is more to the intuition of INFJ personality types and INFP personality types than information that comes through only the five senses.
To understand the whole picture of the intuition of INFJ personality types and INFP personality types, it can be helpful to look at the difference between “first impressions,” and immediate gut-level intuitive hits. First impressions are mental and observational, and they are formed by attaching an interpretation of someone’s appearance and/or behavior to the conscious, rational observations of that person’s appearance and/or behavior. Immediate gut-level intuitive hits are not a mental exercise, and they don’t form as a result of the gathering of information by the mind. They occur outside of the five senses.
INFJ personality types and INFP personality types may feel an immediate gut-level intuitive hit in in the body, or they may hear a voice, or a phrase, or song lyrics, or they may see an image in their mind, or just know something, without being able to explain how they know it. INFJ personality types and INFP personality types experience clairaudience, claircognizance, and clairvoyance in much higher numbers than others in the general population. This is not talked about that much in mainstream society because psychic gifts are not often recognized as valid, which means that a core part of INFJ personality types and INFP personality types is not often recognized as valid. This forces INFJ personality types and INFP personality types to seek out
teachings and tools on their own.
I talk more about this in the video below:
I’m teaching a new class starting September 25 called Life on the Woo Side, and we’ll be exploring various “woo” topics and how they tie into our life path and purpose.
We’ll be diving into subjects like:
Spiritual psychology
Archetypes
Intuitive creativity
Divine connection in the creative process
….and what it means to be a lightworker on planet earth at this time.
