In the words of depth typologists Leona Haas and Mark Hunziker, Introverted Intuition, the preferred mental process of the INFJ, is all ABOUT unconscious symbols and imagery…that’s right, the stuff you find in dreams. While other children might be happy with the whole “dreams don’t make sense and that’s okay” line, INFJs don’t usually subscribe to that. What holds the earth in the sky? Why is it held there? Why was I brought into existence? INFJ children tend to take the role of “miniature philosopher” very seriously. It’s not unusual for INFJs to report that as children they wondered ceaselessly about the nature of reality and what their place was in the theater of life. But INFJs tend to take longer than other types, especially sensing types, to discern what’s real and what’s not. All children are blessed with imagination, and they are all still trying to figure out what’s real and what’s not. In fact, what does it even mean to exist in “the now”?Ĭhildhood can be a magical time for any personality type. While most other children are focused on what’s happening now, INFJs are trying to figure out what “now” is in relation to everything else. What is an illusion and what is real? What is the meaning beyond these concrete, tangible items? They want to transcend the material world, look beyond the senses, and beyond the limits of time itself to understand the over-arching meaning of everything. While the rest of the world seems to step out into their environment with certainty, easily believing that they will be supported by the walls, floors, and structures around them, INFJs second-guess everything.
