Are All INFJs Considered 'Neurodivergent'?

Hey PSYCH-Os!👋
So, do you think the INFJ type could have a correlation with neurodivergence?

Anyone ever felt someone's illness or pain mental or physical so deeply you reacted? First time I did it was with a pregnant women. People were angry at first till they realized I wasn't faking. Soon as I was away from her everything was normal again. Like having a terrible superpower. Someone even followed me to check on me and I told them to go back to her. Of course they were like what was that? I told them I didn't know. They looked at me like something out of a comic book with an emerging super power. Villain or hero was to be determined 😂.

Hi I'm a nerodivergent INFJ female It makes more sense to me that brain structures and personality types can work together in all humans However we're blessed to be our awesome selves

so truueeee wow

I had an experience at a bowing alley where many that were there were not upfront regarding various truths and I read it like a book. Each one I had short conversation with, I learned many truths. Especially the ones that felt bad abut the charade. My sharp perception really paid off. My faith tells me my prayer feuled that perception. I fought out of that mess by God's grace and my loyalty to him.

Just flexing how lucky and grateful I am, as an infj 😬 my best friend from childhood and the love of my life are INFJ. 🎉🎉

No. Definitely not! If anything, INFJs may more likely have advanced conscientiousness, thanks to their pattern recognition abilities, diverse interests/knowledge, and spiritually. They 'get it' long before others.

I’m a psych-O

I consider the MBTI categorization as being within a 'normal' realm, that is, the personality type is mot manifesting itself in a way that prompts concern for diagnosis and intervention. If the behavior within the 4 categories is prompting behaviors or problems that makes the individual suffer to the point of not functioning in daily life, then it enters the neurodivergent realm.

To give an analogy: most people who use alcohol, are able to manage it without it prompting dysfunction in their work- or private life, similar to people categorized according ti MBTI, however some are not , and become alcoholics requiring diagnosis and intervention.

I view the INFJ (and any of the remaining 14 personality types actually) as being prone to neurodivergence with exacerbation of one (or more) of their 4 categories, but none of them, including NFJ to inherently being a 'variant' of neurodivergence (as I understand the term)

I am neurodiverse yes. ADHD, Autism and FND

Infj highly sensitive and adhd

IT CERTAINLY IS A FREAKING NIGHTMARE... EVERYDAY. ALL DAY....

Query: Do we all get upset in some form when denied knowledge?

Why must they slap a sticker on the mysteries of the universe? We've got our own cosmic ID, and we're not sharing.

Their worries are like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube with oven mitts - pointless and a bit amusing. They'll never have to tango with our enigma, so why bother trying to dance? ♾️❤🤗

INFJ's are on the spear tip of human evolution. INFJ's are simply more evolved than most people. This does not make us better. The evidence is our highly developed intuition, which is direct knowing. Most other people must build up facts and logic to arrive at a conclusion. INFJ's know immediately and then support our intuitions with logic. We also have a highly developed heart or moral sense. We gravitate to spirituality, which is natural for us. We are the natural mystics of the world and we are ideally suited for Self Realization.

Definitely INFJ and can’t handle noise crowds bright lights and strong smells. I can also feel others energy, especially bad energy. I can smell it literally.

I am an INFJ and also have ADHD

Neurodetergent needed

I'm an INFJ and I have mild dyslexia. Thank you for this video.

So, then NON INFJ know who they truly are, lololol sounds like everyone I have ever met is then an INFJ. Cause no one truly knows who they are.

In my view as INFJs, all other types (except maybe the INFP, ENFPs and ENFJs), are neurodivergent. They lost something precious bc of the hardness of this planet.

INFJs survived it untouchable in their humanity.

I am INFJ (this is really clear to me), but I have only in recent years identified that I have ADHD and that it has caused me serious emotional pain (fear/panic) academically (yet I graduated Magna Cum Laude.

A recent realization about how I function came when I saw that my siblings and grand-nephews all have ADHD and one has Asperger's. We live in different states, so observations took a long time. Their issues became an eventual revelation about mine.

I'm INFJ and I have ADHD on crack. I'm a therapist and am building an app to help others as big FU to insurance companies! I fit the description perfectly 😂

Nope not doing anything not in the mood to put energy into anything that is already mine

Found out that I am an INFJ two years ago. Made the Test again and again, but it was always INFJ. Last Year I was diagnosed with ADHD, and later with Autism to. I am 55 Years old. Sure there is a huge overlap with INFJ and Neurodivergent.

INFJs whole life revolves around empathy and the emotions of others!! To even suggest an infj to autism is a sooo offensive! Bloody hell, who in ther right might would make that assumption??? I’m an infj and I work side by side with 59yr old fella who has autism.. We talk crap all day no problems, but that’s because I’m unnoticeable ‘socially mirroring’ him, Happy Days!! BUT when it comes to decision making and thinking, they become narcissist and cannot except any other way except what they KNOW, he gets angry cause I won’t listen.. Drives me absolutely NUTS!!

Im diagnosed with high functioning Autism and ADHD my personality type infj-t, its a gift and a curse.

I am an Sigma INFJ Empath, it can be exhausting, everything can make you crazy. but I am a happy one. 😸

I think that the INFJ masking section of this video is misleading. First I should describe autistic masking:

People on the spectrum grow up feeling completely rejected by society. Their various behviours just don't fit in. This is very traumatic. We when experience trauma, our brains come to an intersection of possible responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. People on the spectrum will generally use freeze and fawn, since fight and flight creates even more distance between them and society. Fawning is the best way to salvage any relationships that they can, and masking is one such fawning behaviour. People who mask in this way will often have an indentity crisis because they have known only their mask for so long. It causes them great strife, and having the mask 'slip' or 'fall off' will outright ruin interpersonal relationships for them. Masking is universally an unpleasant experience for these people.

INFJs can use what looks like masking, but it isn't out of a long seeded trauma response. Also it should be said, that INFJs can enjoy catering to other people's needs when helping others, and our cameleon ability helps us do that. Currently I am using it to try and meet people on the spectrum at the half way point, so that they don't have to do all of the work masking. With me however, I can adjust on the fly, and go back to being myself (not masked) very easily.

INFJs can see paterns and outcomes. I believe this is where our chameleon/masking skills come from, rather than needing to learn it as a survival mechanic and to yield to societal pressures.

They are not the same things: this also shows what society needs to change as a whole since neurodivergence has some direct correlations to creativity. So ultimately, creativity is what is, in a sense, 'on trial.'

😂 the infj paradox - continually being "defined" in relation to others when we are in fact, unique. This is another example. It is these comparisons which pathologization uses like heroine to get "clicks" from people whose brains can't actually think like an INFJ. It is quite predatory really.

Do you think INFJs are good Poker Players?

Actually I consider all other types neurodivergent but not the INFJs.
The others are bad human copies and never develop their potencial bc they are NPCs - non-character players: they even don’t get to liberate themselves from the indoctrination they receive since they are born. They are a waste.

Ridiculously pure of heart, whilst having a hatred of evil behaviour. That is the INFJ mantra... and we all know it.

Is this an AI voice? This INFJ is more focused on that than the content.

ADD, AD, BPD, BP. I think there might be a connection 😂

Interestingly my ex-friend (who is narcissistic & I have now cut out of my life) who was in her last year of a masters of psychology tried to tell me I was autistic even though I didn’t meet any of the criteria for the A category at all, but met at least one in each of the others. I was reading the DSM criteria along with her and literally laughing coz I was thinking in my head how many of them were actually just INFJ traits. I’m not surprised that many INFJs would get typecast as neurodivergent of some kind, but I don’t at all think that most of us are. But I do think it helps us to understand a lot of neurodivergent people!

I'm an INFJ, an empath, neurodivergent, gifted and have hyoeracusis. Both a gift and a curse for me.

Im
Not autistic according to online tests… idk about adhd because i can easily not move for yonders. i thought perhaps i had adult adhd as a female after traumatic breakup… sometimes things just become too much. but idk. not sure im any neurodivergent condition, but perhaps on some spectrum somewhere. a lot of the list feels somewhat like right to me.

I dream of a world in which difference is celebrated, not diagnosed.

There is no need for a debate. Neurodivergents are not the same

Glad i'm not the only one pondering this....

me who’s an INFJ with ADHD 💀

Baby boo u gotta ask if they like the video at the end. ...if u had no idea how that works 😂

I am a 2e neurodivergent and an INFJ-A

I'm a bit too empathetic if i'm honest, like who the hell feels empathy for stuffed animals?? 😅😆

I cry so damn easily for a guy that's practically a tree or a bear lol

I guess i just feel stuff deeply, even if it's happy, that's partially why i hate watching tv, movies and tv shows set me off too easily

I can even make myself cry if i think about something too much, it's annoying because men aren't supposed to be so emotional

I'm supposed to be a bull and yet i feel like that of a vally, ever changing and flowing, it's frustrating at times and it's even more so when most women see as a pu$$y because of it so it makes keeping a gf basically impossible because of how a majority of woman evolved to be

My gf is an infj as well so i hope she understands better than a normal woman would

I'm not just a rock because i'm 6'4, i can be very sensitive and it's frustrating when women want a bull and not whatever i am...

Hopefully my gf whome is on duty rn won't see me as less because i feel more than most guys probably do in a week, maybe i'm overthinking this

As a 67 Year old male INFJ-T, 1W2 I used to say that I was an out of the box thinker but now I say that there is no such thing as a box. This thinking allows me to bring both the ways people think within the box along with concepts outside of the box together melding the two together. I have done many things in my liftime and have never felt a part of it but an outsider looking in and this has allowed me to see everything objectively.

I test INFJ. I am NOT neurodivergent. People are getting very mixed up in their analysis which I am finding irritating tbh.

Always been fascinated by n divergent people. "Dating on the Spectrum " a TV favorite. Enjoy Spectrum people usually.
