Understanding INFP Cognitive Functions: From Theory to Personal Growth
The INFP personality type, often known as the 'Mediator' or 'Healer,' possesses a unique set of cognitive functions that shape their perception and interaction with the world. Understanding these functions can be transformative for personal growth and self-development.
The INFP Cognitive Function Stack
INFPs operate with a specific hierarchy of cognitive functions that influences their decision-making, emotional processing, and overall approach to life. Let's explore each function in detail.
Primary Function: Introverted Feeling (Fi)
At the core of the INFP personality lies Introverted Feeling (Fi), a function that creates a deep, personal value system. This internal moral compass guides INFPs in making authentic decisions aligned with their true selves. Through personalized hypnotherapy sessions, INFPs can further develop their connection to these inner values.
Auxiliary Function: Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
Ne enables INFPs to see possibilities and patterns in the external world. This function drives their creativity and ability to generate innovative solutions. According to recent psychological research, this combination of Fi and Ne makes INFPs particularly skilled at understanding complex emotional landscapes.
Tertiary Function: Introverted Sensing (Si)
Si provides INFPs with a connection to past experiences and personal memories. Through emotional healing through hypnosis, INFPs can process and integrate past experiences more effectively.
Inferior Function: Extraverted Thinking (Te)
