The Infj Function Stack Explained (In Depth) explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Known for their complicated, and somewhat
explained by their introverted, intuitive,
feeling and judging functions - their 4 most
dominant.. Yet, each personality type is a
little more intricate than just main functions..

as well as the INTP personality type. It also
ranks number one on the INFJs’ cognitive function
INFJs use this function to navigate and make
sense of the world around them. It also gives them
INFJs use this function subconsciously and
in a seemingly abstract way. And more often
than not, they come to a symbolic conclusion
That’s why the INFJs around you are heavily
driven by this function and don’t have an
“off” button for it. This leads to two general
types of INFJs with this function – Mature INFJs
with Introverted Intuition and Immature ones.
The mature INFJs you’ll meet with this function
will be wise, resourceful, and disciplined.
attainable goals for themselves and strive
to overcome the odds to achieve these goals.
Immature INFJs with this function, however, get
stuck in their own intuition and have trouble
moving forward. If you know an INFJ that has
unrealistic goals and easily gets distracted,
as common as it is amongst INFJs, it’s still not
the dominant one. If you know an INFJ, you’ve
likely seen them read the room, and the people
in it, like an open book. They’re not psychics,
but it’s their own ability to sense others’
emotional state – even if they try to mask it.
If it seems like an INFJ in your proximity is
trying to avoid conflict and making sure no
brawls break out, know that they’re doing this out
of their utmost and genuine care. You’ll see them
checking on people, spreading harmony and peace,
and eliminating any friction that might cause
problems between the individuals around them.
But not all INFJs can handle it the same way,
which again splits them into two parties.
Mature INFJs with Extraverted Feeling – these
people are open, empathetic, and helpful. They
tend to control this function and are great at
setting and respecting boundaries and taking
rejection with a smile. But if you catch an
INFJ who has self-doubt, concern for people’s
opinions, and approval issues - you’re dealing
This one is less used than the other two but
plays a significant role in the stability and
consistency of INFJs’ daily decision-making
seems to be going down their own little mental
rabbit holes for hours on end - and then they

to make sense of how things work. If developed
well, this function can help INFJs become wiser,
more careful decision-makers. If not, it can lead
to overthinking, self-deception, and emotional
conflict. So, if you feel like an INFJ is being
too reckless and unreasonable with their intuitive
thinking, rest assured they’re using their more
logic-based function to understand and back it up.
cognitive function stack and takes fourth place
on the top four most used cognitive functions by
INFJs. It pushes INFJs to show a rather hidden,
the extrovert. Dubbed as the “extrovert of
introverts,” INFJs do have a vibrant, outgoing,
and unreserved side to them. They occasionally
enjoy extraverted activities and love living in
the moment with people whose company they prefer.
This is thanks to their least dominant function:
Extraverted Sensing. It allows them to use their
five senses to be in the present moment and
embrace it with all their might. So the next time
you want to get that INFJ friend to hang out with
you, set up plans for a morning hike, a skydiving
trip, or a game of laser tag. They’ll also enjoy
any kind of exciting, heart-pumping activity.
Stuff like cycling, swimming, running, and even
playing sports. But it can get too stimulating
for them, which explains why they prefer to
do these activities in less crowded areas
with a few people around. This way they get
to enjoy themselves with the company they like
functions - the deeper of the cognitive functions
- is Extraverted Intuition. This function is
opposite to the dominant one: Introverted
consume so much external data around them like
pictures, sounds, conversations, opinions, and
content, etc. that they get easily overwhelmed.
they subconsciously create abstract patterns and
connections, and sometimes, they get wrapped up in
them. That’s the reason this function takes fifth
place amongst the INFJs’ cognitive functions.
And if faced with multiple choices and options,
INFJs can get annoyed, stressed, and triggered.
So, instead of using their intuition to cut a
clear path through the noise, they end up using
their Extraverted Intuition, which in return makes
them headstrong, unhelpful, and agitated. INFJs
are usually calm and steady, but their “sixth
sense” can become a curse to them, sometimes. So
if an INFJ displays negative behavior and “acts
weird,” It’s probably because of their Extraverted

function Extroverted Feeling., It guides INFJs
they start getting in their own heads. Because
of this function, they prefer to process their
complicated feelings on their own, which might
give off the impression that they don’t want to
deal with others while they’re in that state.
This function instigates most of the sensitive,
unfavorable emotions INFJs have about themselves
momentary feelings INFJs have under certain
and a misguided sense of accountability. Then,
the inner critic gets to work, and they start
reliving all sorts of unfortunate past traumas and
failures. The more they try to break out of it,
If an INFJ makes a mistake, you’ll most likely
see them beat themselves up over it relentlessly
Number 7: The INFJ’s Joker: Extraverted Thinking
The Extraverted Thinking function takes seventh
place in the cognitive function stack ranking.
That’s because it’s hardly ever used by INFJs,
facts, and rules to come to conclusions and
make decisions. When using Extraverted Thinking,
INFJs weigh the pros and cons, gather outside
information, and set up a system of thought and
execution they believe makes the most sense.
It almost programs them into thinking in a
binary system of ones and zeros and prompts them
to neglect all sorts of social cues. In a way,
So in your everyday life, you might encounter
situations with INFJs where they seem completely
oblivious to their own disorganized thinking
and execution of tasks. They might even get
defensive if you bring it up the wrong way.
The reason behind that is the Extraverted
Thinking function that tricks them to believe that
their system is flawless and suitable for everyone
to follow. So, sometimes, when you disagree
with an INFJ, you’ll sound senseless to them.
Number 8: The INFJ’s Bogeyman: Introverted Sensing
This one is the least useful function to INFJs.
It is what gives them sleepless nights staring
at the roof and pushes them to self-isolate for
days – and even weeks. It’s more detail-focused
and exhibits a lot of comparison between the
the ramifications this function can bring
It causes INFJs to bring up inner information
reminds INFJs of past mistakes and failures.
They can create patterns within past experiences
and connect present ones to them, making them
feel stuck in the past and unable to break free
of that thought loop. You can see now why this
function is the least used by INFJs and why it’s
called “the Bogeyman” of cognitive functions.
Alright PSYCH-Os, that’s it for today’s video..
