What INFPs look for in a partner

- Someone who is not afaid to talk about their emotions and have deep, meaningful conversations. INFPs thrive on the deep, profoud, meaningful things about life. They love talking about their dreams, opinions and views on the world, and their emotions. Their ability to be great listeners and nonjudgemental personalities make them the ideal person for their partners to open up to. - Someone who has a slow temper and isn’t critical or questioning of the INFP’s behavior. INFPs can be very sensitive, private individuals and do not like to be constantly nagged about the things that they are doing wrong in their lives because their biggest critics are already themselves. Instead of someone telling them about the things that are going wrong in their lives they need someone to enourage and modivate them to change for the better. - Someone who can encourage them to step outside of their comfort zone. INFPs have a lot of aspirations for their lives and are naturally creative, idealistic people. However, sometimes it can be hard for them to find the willpower to make their dreams reality. This is why it could benefit the INFP to have someone in their lives who is more centered on reality to push them to take action. - Someone who is a good conversationalist. INFPs love a good meaningful conversation. However, sometimes it can be hard for them to get past the small talk stage because it can be hard for them to express their thoughts into words and they do not open up as fast as some of the other types. This is why it may be beneficial for them to have a partner who is stronger in this area because it will make it easier for the INFP to open up and their partner’s good conversation skills may eventually rub off on them. - Someone who is confrontational. Because of their love of hamony, There are few things that INFPs hate more than confrontation and most of them avoid it instead of facing their problem by becoming passive aggressive or bottling up their emotions inside which are very unhealthy behaviors. Having a partner who is aware when the INFP is upset about something and confronts them about it in an understanding non-aggressive way will allow the INFP to feel comfortable enough to talk about what is bothering them and mend the rift in the relationship they may have formed becuase of the particular issue. - PASSION. INFPs are very idealistic, romantic idividuals who have most likely dreamed about finding their soul mate ever since they were a young child. An INFP is very unlikely to be interested in someone for any other reason than love and many of them worry that they will never find someone they will meet all of their expectations. Unfortunately, an INFP may become attatched to a person they have never met, idealize them. and eventually become chrushed when they discover that the person is not who they invisioned or the feelings are never reciprocated. They want someone that they constantly dream about and can never stop thinking about who makes them feel euphoric and giddy inside. Their mission is to find their real life prince charming. This can make INFPs very picky when choosing a partner. They do not take relationships lightly and it is hard for them to find the person who can meet all of their expectations.

INFP Strengths & Weaknesses

INFP Strengths

Idealistic – INFPs’ friends and loved ones will come to admire and depend on them for their optimism. Their unshaken belief that all people are inherently good, perhaps simply misunderstood, lends itself to an incredibly resilient attitude in the face of hardship.

Seek and Value Harmony – People with the INFP personality type have no interest in having power over others, and don’t much care for domineering attitudes at all. They prefer a more democratic approach, and work hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard.

Open-Minded and Flexible – A live-and-let-live attitude comes naturally to INFPs, and they dislike being constrained by rules. INFPs give the benefit of the doubt too, and so long as their principles and ideas are not being challenged, they’ll support others’ right to do what they think is right.

Very Creative – INFPs combine their intuitive nature with their open-mindedness to allow them to see things from unconventional perspectives. Being able to connect many far-flung dots into a single theme, it’s no wonder that many INFPs are celebrated poets and authors.

Passionate – When something captures INFPs’ imagination and speaks to their beliefs, they go all in, dedicating their time, energy, thoughts and emotions to the project. Their shyness keeps them from the podium, but they are the first to lend a helping hand where it’s needed.

Dedicated and Hard-Working – While others focusing on the challenges of the moment may give up when the going gets tough, INFPs (especially Assertive ones) have the benefit of their far-reaching vision to help them through. Knowing that what they are doing is meaningful gives people with this personality type a sense of purpose and even courage when it comes to accomplishing something they believe in.

INFP Weaknesses

Too Idealistic – INFPs often take their idealism too far, setting themselves up for disappointment as, again and again, evil things happen in the world. This is true on a personal level too, as INFPs may not just idealize their partners, but idolize them, forgetting that no one is perfect.

Too Altruistic – INFPs sometimes see themselves as selfish, but only because they want to give so much more than they are able to. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as they try to push themselves to commit to a chosen cause or person, forgetting to take care of the needs of others in their lives, and especially themselves.

Impractical – When something captures INFPs’ imagination, they can neglect practical matters like day-to-day maintenance and simple pleasures. Sometimes people with the INFP personality type will take this asceticism so far as to neglect eating and drinking as they pursue their passion or cause.

Dislike Dealing With Data – INFPs are often so focused on the big picture that they forget the forest is made of individual trees. INFPs are in tune with emotions and morality, and when the facts and data contradict their ideals, it can be a real challenge for them.

Take Things Personally – INFPs often take challenges and criticisms personally, rather than as inspiration to reassess their positions. Avoiding conflict as much as possible, INFPs will put a great deal of time and energy into trying to align their principles and the criticisms into a middle ground that satisfies everybody.

Difficult to Get to Know – INFPs are private, reserved and self-conscious. This makes them notoriously difficult to really get to know, and their need for these qualities contributes to the guilt they often feel for not giving more of themselves to those they care about.

INFPs I’ve Met (by an INFJ)

What I noticed and observed about them: (3 Males & 2 Females)

They are the introverts with a lot of friends.

Each of them have some sort of hidden talent that I don’t even know why they keep hidden in the first place. They are just so humble. (It’s annoying– I LOVE THEM). Their hidden talent most likely has something to do with the arts.

They are writers. The ones I know write blog posts, poetry, witty Facebook statuses, music, and lyrics. Self-expression is definitely a necessity for them.

Two of the INFP males I know have this innocent aura that will make you want to be super nice to them and even take care of them and not bully them even if they look so easy to bully. They’re that pure.

The other INFP male I know looked very tense and jittery before I first talked to him. But once I got him to start talking, he easily opened up. You just gotta reach out first.

Once you reach out to them, they will open up and you’ll discover that they are such cool people with strong opinions and beliefs. (pretty much closet ENFPs)

The two INFP females on the other hand were the ones who seemed loud at first–probably ‘cause they were with their friends–but ended up being really deep and humble people (I love it).

They are nice and civil to everyone. They don’t show it when they dislike someone (however, their close friends will know). They’re just that easygoing, which is why they have a lot of friends. (who are actually just mostly acquaintances to them–but they won’t tell them)

They have such good humor. Especially their sarcasm. AND THE TIMING OF THEIR JOKES IS PERFECT.

When they’re with their friends, you wouldn’t even think they’re introverts. They are so loud and lively with them (mostly the girl INFPs I’ve met are like this–the INFP males on the other hand are more obviously introverted).

Everyone likes them. I’m serious, what’s not to like? They are such good-hearted and open-minded people (even if they have strong beliefs). Before you know it, you’re completely yourself when you’re around them. They just make you feel homey.

When they’re in a bad mood, they distance themselves. They just don’t want to be a burden, even to their friends. No matter how many times you insist to be there for them, they will shake their heads and handle their problems by themselves. After all, the fight is in their head.

When they present alone in front (in class), they can be the most awkward people ever. But they do have a lot of meaningful things to say. They just aren’t used to taking the stage.

Most of the ones I know suffer with anxiety. This is most likely due to the fact that they feel so deeply and tend to keep it inside–after all, Fi is their most dominant function.

They are the nicest people ever (even if it’s not all that obvious), but if you hurt them on purpose–they will remember you for it. But they will forgive (on the outside).

They are the life of the party even if they aren’t loud. I don’t know, like when they aren’t present in their group of friends–there is obviously something missing.

They are good with one-on-one conversations. It’s amazing how even though they aren’t good with big crowds, they have this ability to talk to a stranger for a second and make them feel comfortable (if they want to, that is).

They are not boring– at all. It’s an Ne thing–their second dominant function–that makes them so talkative and animated. If they aren’t talking about something, they’re either making weird sounds to make others laugh or saying funny movie lines aloud (similar to INTPs).

They are smart. They have their own way of understanding things and they are not clueless–I swear, they know a little about everything. Just give them a topic, and they will have an opinion about it.

They have trouble saying no. I swear, the last thing they want to do is hurt someone. (Unless it’s for justice)

Music is extremely important to them. The INFPs I know either dance, play guitar, sing, or well–just need their earphones with them everyday to block out the world when they feel like it.

The vibes they give off, equal to their current mood. They are infectious.

Well, what do you guys think? :) Agree or disagree?

If you haven't before, you should listen to parabol/parabola by Tool. I think you would enjoy it.

Thanks! Tool’s music was actually the first spiritual material that I was ever exposed to. I’ve probably listened to the album ‘Lateralus’ a thousand times. That album specifically has brought me to tears, sent me off into other dimensions, scared me and inspired me.“I embrace my desire to,feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widowto feel inspired, to fathom the power,to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,to swing on the spiral, of our divinity and still be a human.” - LateralusI saw them live in 2009. My friend and I were immediately escorted in by security and given a perfect spot to enjoy the show, for free. I have a form of synesthesia which means I see sound as colours in my mind’s eye, involuntarily. The laser and light show plus the visuals on the video screens that they put on during the song ‘Forty Six and 2′ matched up with the colors that I always saw in my head when I heard that song. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.I saw them again in 2012. I paid for the worst seat in the house. I still had an absolutely incredible time. But compared with my experience at the first concert, it goes to show how somethings in life balance out nicely, synchronistically. I love Tool. They have influenced me more than words can convey. I remember riding my bike at 16, listening to ‘Forty Six and 2′ and feeling that whatever the hell Maynard was singing about was what I’m going to experience. Today, I see clearly that that song really parallels my journey.“I choose to live and toGrow, take and give and toMove, learn and love and toCry, kill and die and toBe paranoid and toLie, hate and fear and toDo what it takes to move through.”- Forty Six and 2Here’s an old t-shirt that I made into a poster. I tried to give it away as a gift but somehow it came back to me. You know Tool is the greatest band in the world when Alex Grey is willing to provide the artwork.

Here’s the music video for ‘Parabola.’ Check out Grey’s animation of the Kundalini transformation towards the end.“Spinning, weaving round each new experience,Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.“- Parabola
