Why All Infjs Hate Willful Ignorance explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
It’s fair to say that avoiding information
in the name of intentional ignorance is one
of the INFJ’s biggest pet peeves. Whether
wrong, remaining blind to crucial truths, or
for the sake of not taking account for actions,
a lot of the world’s problems come from this
simple yet complex habit of avoidant decisions.

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..
Number 1: They know the power of intuition
As an introverted intuitive, the INFJ can’t
help but to remain suspicious about the facts,
In fact, because of this dominant function, the
INFJ more or less has no choice but to avoid being
willfully ignorant even if that would be the
easier route to take. While questioning every
narrative can be exhausting and often reveals
rather devastating findings, it’s fair to say that
most INFJs wouldn’t want it any other way. They’re
able to use their instincts to find the truths
they feel called to find, and they wish that
other people would feel obligated to do the same.
Despite it being their dominant function,
it’s not only the INFJ who has the innate
INFJs can’t help but to question whether or not
humanity may be digging themselves an early grave.
According to the trusted blog, Psychology Today,
willful ignorance is a cognitive strategy that
well-being. However, the INFJ knows better
in the sense that in most instances, remaining
ignorant to certain intuitive suspicions only
ends up coming back to them later down the line.
In fact, in some ways, INFJs themselves are
wilfully ignorant when it comes to the tolerance
they hold towards others that may not deserve it.
of giving others the benefit of the doubt,
other’s negative suspicions of people wrong.
Whether it’s remaining blinded to a partner’s
toxic traits, or giving excuses for someone’s
lack of compassion, INFJs find themselves
time-and-time again in difficult relational
connections due to their own version of willful
ignorance, and they hate that they can’t help it.
Know-it-alls are certainly annoying on any
account, however, what makes matters considerably
worse is when what they know is completely false.
For the INFJ who holds a balanced equilibrium of
beliefs and open mindedness themselves, they
can have a hard time understanding people
who believe they’re right on the account that
they remain ignorant to opposing possibilities.
While it can be difficult to tell whether someone
is purposefully ignorant or truly deluded,
INFJs believe that keeping an open mind to
the possibility that any of their beliefs
may actually be wrong is an important factor in
remaining as accurate as possible. Therefore,
not only do they become rather suspicious of
the willfully ignorant, but they can have a
hard time trusting anything they believe because
of it..no matter how sure of themselves they are.
Number 4: Certain ignorance causes others pain
Remaining closed off to changing personal beliefs
and factors that affects one’s personal life
is one thing, but for the INFJ who holds an
incredible moral high-ground for themselves,
willful ignorance can actually show someone’s lack
of moral judgments. People remain intentionally
ignorant for all sorts of reasons, but some
In fact, it takes a certain kind of wilful
ignorance to profit off of the less fortunate,
scam people financially and emotionally, or to
make excuses for one’s own negative behavior.
ignorance that INFJs have a major problem with.
For, when others choose to avoid taking the time
to consider the consequences of their actions,
the pain and hurt of others is often the result.
When it comes down to it, some people are simply
‘too busy to care’ or ‘can’t be bothered to know’.
If something doesn’t affect them directly,
most people don’t make the effort to educate
themselves, despite the facts being presented
even when people know they should know about
something, or have an inkling that something may
affect the world, or the people around them, some
people are too lazy to question their suspicions.
For the INFJ, they can’t help but to care about
or at least question even the simplest of worldly
issues, especially the ones they have to dig to
find. They can see that blind-conformity has a
fellow humans, particularly regarding the
deeper issues behind the challenges we see
on the news. And in the INFJs perfect world,
into questioning what they’re being told.
Like we said referring to the topic of intuition,
Taking into consideration the fact that the
majority of INFJ small-talk and preferred
deeper conversations tend to surround topics
of broadening knowledge on taboo subjects,
conspiracies, and alternative possibilities of
worldly motives, it’s fair to say that people
who believe all they are told can be difficult
for the INFJ to simply even converse with.
of believing nothing they hear and only half
of what they see, most INFJs don’t hesitate
to question the ‘science-backed’ and ‘factually
proven’ narratives they are expected to believe.
‘woo-woo’ and unconventional, but to them,
thinking for yourself. Which brings us to..
purposefully remaining blind to knowledge
They say ignorance is bliss, but for the INFJ
personality type, this couldn’t be further from
and expanding their knowledge in terms of
the ‘unspoken’ side of worldly issues, INFJs tend
to detest the willful ignorance of others simply
because they can’t imagine living life with their
head buried in the sand. Not only can they not
find common ground with those who choose to lead
a life through ignorance, but when they try to
put themselves in the position of those who do,
they can’t fathom the feelings of false comfort
and contentment. They can’t imagine knowing deep
down that there may be certain ulterior motives
behind global movements, laws, epidemics and even
ulterior motives of certain people in one’s life,
and choosing not to look further into it.
If there’s one thing the INFJ personality
type is keen on when it comes to planning
and organization, it would be thinking in terms
of future outcomes. Not only does this way of
thinking include future-projecting and making the
necessary moves for the best possible results,
action through the presented facts at hand.
their relationship communication and their own
personal goals to ensure the least amount of
future issues will arise. In fact, since INFJs are
notorious for their conflict avoidant behavior,
Plus, through their keen observation skills
they can see how this avoidant nature can end up
playing out negatively for the people around them.
Whether it’s lack of training within the workplace
due to the unlikelihood of something dangerous
actually occurring or not taking time out for
oneself in the midst of a busy work schedule
and hoping they won’t burn out. INFJs prefer
to remain one step ahead of themselves and this
can only be done through the necessary awareness.
