Introversion (I)I like getting my energy from dealing with the ideas, pictures, memories, and reactions that are inside my head, in my inner world. I often prefer doing things alone or with one or two people I feel comfortable with. I take time to reflect so that I have a clear idea of what I’ll be doing when I decide to act. Ideas are almost solid things for me. Sometimes I like the idea of something better than the real thing.
Intuition (N)Paying the most attention to impressions or the meaning and patterns of the information I get. I would rather learn by thinking a problem through than by hands-on experience. I’m interested in new things and what might be possible, so that I think more about the future than the past. I like to work with symbols or abstract theories, even if I don’t know how I will use them. I remember events more as an impression of what it was like than as actual facts or details of what happened.
Feeling (F)I believe I can make the best decisions by weighing what people care about and the points-of-view of persons involved in a situation. I am concerned with values and what is the best for the people involved. I like to do whatever will establish or maintain harmony. In my relationships, I appear caring, warm, and tactful.
Perceiving (P)I use my perceiving function (whether it is Sensing or Intuition) in my outer life. To others, I seem to prefer a flexible and spontaneous way of life, and I like to understand and adapt to the world rather than organize it. Others see me staying open to new experiences and information.Since this pair only describes what I prefer in the outer world, inside I may feel very planful or decisive (which I am).Remember, in type language perceiving means “preferring to take in information.” It does not mean being “perceptive” in the sense of having quick and accurate perceptions about people and events.
An individual who is INFP tends to think before acting; resist sharing thoughts and feelings with others; be quiet and experience discomfort in expressing affection and emotion to others; work in a small group and need a longer “wait time” between questions and answers.
If the child is also intuitive (N) then he or she needs or likes opportunities to be original; tasks that require imagination; new tasks rather than having to master those that are already familiar and a variety of tasks. A feeling (F) individual thrives in an environment where he or she receives feedback and praise about their performance; is not faced with conflict and confrontation and is not criticized or ridiculed, especially if the ridicule is also sarcastic. The perceiver (P) tends to act spontaneously; like freedom to move around (because too much desk work easily gives rise to boredom); work and play simultaneously and try and make the work fun and may turn in assignments late as a result of poor planning or time management.”
