INFJ Cognitive Functions EXPLAINED

A deep dive into the INFJ cognitive functions, explaining how the ego and shadow functions shape the INFJ personality and behaviour. 👉 Subscribe and Join the Ontype Team Today! Most people think being an INFJ is just about being a "quiet helper," but the reality is much more complex—and sometimes much darker. To truly understand the Advocate, you have to look past the four-letter code and dive into the deep waters of the 8-function stack. From the visionary heights of Introverted Intuition (Ni) to the chaotic "demon" of Introverted Sensing (Si), every INFJ is a walking paradox of ego and shadow. Why do you feel like a psychic one day and completely detached from reality the next? In this video, we go beyond the surface and explain exactly how the INFJ mind processes information through all eight cognitive functions. You’ll discover: 👁️ The Ego Core (Ni-Fe-Ti-Se): How your primary functions create your "Sage" persona. 🌑 The Shadow Reveal: Understanding the "Opposition," the "Critic," and the "Trickster." 🏚️ The Si-Demon: Why INFJs struggle with the past and physical sensations. 🔥 The Grip and The Loop: How to recognise when you’ve fallen into unhealthy cognitive patterns. ✨ Integration: How to balance your shadow to become a more whole, functional human being. 📌 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:35 Introverted Intuition 07:09 Extraverted Feeling 12:05 Introverted Thinking 16:11 Extraverted Sensing 19:00 Extraverted Intuition 22:15 Introverted Feeling 25:08 Extraverted Thinking 27:50 Introverted Sensing Sources: C.S.
