INFPs (Authenticity/Exploration genius) have perhaps the most intimate connection with human values and human needs. They are extremely well attuned to mankind’s progression and often form the moral backbone of social movements. They have a strong “spiritual hero” quality (even if atheists!). Many storybook heroes are Authenticity/Exploration. They are natural masters of culture, personal expression, and even technology. The human condition is always the focus of their world. They are individualists, both in action and in belief. A core principle with all Authenticity/Exploration genius is their insistence that everyone be allowed to “just be themselves

Exploration (Extraverted
Intuition) gives an INFP the
opportunity to test their
convictions in real-life
situations. It helps them get
clearer on what’s true for
both themselves and the
world outside, in contrast to
fantasizing or wishful
thinking. Instead of being
seen as ‘head in the clouds’
Developing Exploration makes an INFP grounded and approachable.
Your happiness

being willing to
explore reality as it

INFP Defensive Strategy
Tertiary (10 Year Old) :
Introverted Sensing
“Memory”
Memory (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 you’re much
better off when you take risks.
If you let your 10 year old do your thinking for you,
it will encourage you to become an “experiential
shut-in,” not open to any new experiences. Your
convictions will be based on sloppy reasoning with
unrealistic conclusions. At worst, your type can
even become physical shut-ins, so afraid of taking
risks they rarely leave the house and instead
choose to comfort themselves in a “safe”
environment.
You need to explore and take chances to prevent
becoming stagnant in your beliefs and worldview.

INFP- Where To Go From Here
Auxiliary (Co-Pilot) :
Extraverted Intuition
“Exploration”
The enemy of Exploration is the mundane and
the rote. Exploration requires freedom to
experiment, and too much mundane activity or
reliance upon procedure is disheartening to your
Exploration process.
Set up your conditions to access this mental
process as much as possible.
A good way to practice this technique is to seek
out new situations you would not normally
pursue. If there’s a question of doing something
that feels right to you, but may have hassle or an
‘unsafe’ element to it, practice taking the risk
instead of playing it safe. It’s common for INFPs,
once they get past the ‘scary’ part, to say “Was
that it?” Most of your growth happens by being
adventurous and letting go of the belief that you
must live the way others want you to live.
