Behind The Gruesome Infj Decision Making Process explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Despite their inner cravings for adventure,
it’s fair to say that INFJs can be considered
one of the least spontaneous personality types
Not only does this mean it’s difficult for
them to absorb the present moment, but it
also makes for a seriously difficult time
when they’re challenged with quick-thinking,

Number 1: They can’t help but to plan and
It’s no surprise that the well-calculated
INFJ personality type needs some form of structure
They don’t like surprises and they certainly
don’t like when things don’t get as planned.
make so-called care-free decisions because
planning mode when they get ahold of new information.
And so, it’s admittedly impossible to not
organize when they get the chance, making
care-free decisions an extremely rare occurrence
In reality, as much as an INFJ tries and actually
wants to just live life in the moment, they’re
always thinking of how it will fit with the
rest of their plans - even going as far as
scheduling in some time for their version
of letting-loose, aka finding a local cafe
Number 2: They can’t help but to calculate
If an INFJ is forced into making a quick,
uncalculated decision that pertains to their
lives or even how they spend their time, you
For example, if an INFJ was coaxed into going
out after work with friends without the time
for mental and energetic preparation, they’ll
probably spend the whole time thinking how
and when they can escape to do the things
they actually planned on doing that night.
On the flipside, if INFJs were able to really
decide whether or not they wanted to go, what
to wear, what to eat, and what time they wanted
to be home by, they could actually relax and
enjoy the moment rather than finding the nearest
This decision making process is even worse
when it comes to more significant life events
If an INFJ were to follow their immediate
instincts of their partner’s negative qualities
and pull-the-plug without thinking things
coping with not only the emotions but also
the ruminating of whether or not it’s actually
Number 3: They get a sense of instability
But what happens when there is no plan in
Well.. depending on the situation, when INFJs
don’t have an idea of what may happen, they
can get rather uncomfortable and even irritable
entire time guessing, they’ll also be met
with an underlying sense of insecurity as
they feel like their regular foundations of
knowing what to expect aren’t there to ease
Since INFJs can get rather anxious, especially
in highly stimulating environments, not having
the stability of running through potential
Similar to our previous example of going out
with friends on a whim, they wouldn't feel
as confident in themselves and their socializing
abilities if they didn’t have the time to
And so, spontaneity ends up not being their
Number 4: They want the best for every affected
INFJs rarely think of themselves and themselves
With the habit of calculated thinking and
planning, they never fail to question how
their decisions will affect those around them
This happens mostly when other people are
directly affected such as in a workplace setting
a personal decision, they’ll certainly ruminate
Whether they are focused on other’s emotions,
people’s personal success or overall mental
well-being, INFJs feel the need to take into
account the rippling effect of the actions
They’ll weigh up their pros and cons with
the consideration of others included, and
come to a conclusion of the best action forward.
Unfortunately, you can’t please everyone,
and for that reason, INFJs tend to have a
lot of guilt should someone they value be
Nevermind care-free, INFJs have the opposite
problem of being overly caring in their chosen
Number 5: They always fear not making the
Whether it be what to choose off of the lunch
menu or deciphering if they should or shouldn’t
change career paths, no matter how much planning
goes into it, INFJs always have that little
fear in the back of their minds that maybe
Yes, being an introverted intuitive, intuition
plays a big roll in the decisions an INFJ
makes, however, the logical side of their
In fact, this can be a huge source of stress
for the INFJ type and can even temporarily
debilitate them from making any decision at
This is where this introspective type can’t
imagine how freeing it must feel for other
types that just go with the flow without feeling
like they’re standing on the edge of a cliff
uncertain if there's a net to catch them when
So, to put it simply, FOMO makes care-free
decisions seriously undesirable for this type.
Number 6: They want to please their past,
This sounds a little more complex than it
actually is in the eyes of an INFJ, but for
INFJs not only want to make the best decision
to set themselves up for failure in the future,
or go against morals they formed in the past.
They want to make their younger selves happy
in a metaphorical way, and they obviously
want to ensure their decisions will satisfy
them for the following weeks, months and years
They strongly believe in the fact that the
habits, routines and beliefs you have today,
ultimately create the life you will live tomorrow.
And so, they are continuously checking in
with themselves wondering ‘does this path
This also plays a huge role in taking their
short-comings in the past and applying that
knowledge to the future, which brings us to..
Number 7: They attentively learn from past
Care-free decisions and spontaneity usually
It’s like the whole point of just letting
loose and going with the flow is the excitement
of the unknown without the fear that it may
This analytical type can’t help but to use
their past lessons as a foundation for which
In fact, it’s not only their own mistakes
that they take into account but also other

you can bet they’ll rather choose to just
watch on the side lines, never once thinking
Of course you can get injured in really any
sport or physical activity, but until the
INFJ has witnessed it themselves, leaving
an imprint on their brain, they can be pressured
Number 8: They struggle to step outside their
Now, if INFJs are faced with a decision that
shakes up the comfortable little life they’ve
created for themselves, all of the previously
mentioned factors that go into their decision
When INFJs map out their lives, they may leave
some room for adventure, however for the most
part they ensure that they’ll remain comfortable
recharge their social batteries, a nearby
escape should they need it, and that they’re
surrounded by people they can handle for unknown
However, the concept of stepping outside their
comfort zones rarely include these factors
and that can make the decision-making process
The worst part is that sometimes an INFJ’s
intuition knows they need to flee the nest
of comfortability and explore an unknown endeavor,
leaving them feeling torn between following
their ego or what they deep down know is best
Well PSYCH-Os, that’s it for today’s video.
