Freud’s Personality Theories Have Been Criticized For Lacking Testability, Being Based On Little Scientific Evidence And Being Sexist.

Carl Rogers believed that the ingredients of a growth-promoting environment are genuineness, acceptance (including unconditional positive regard), and empathy. Self-concept was a central feature of personality for both Maslow and Rogers. Humanistic psychology helped renew interest in the concept of self.

GENUINE, ACCEPTING, EMPATHETIC. According to Rogers , people nurture our growth by being genuine (open with feelings, dropping facades, being transparent and self-disclosing). Also nuture by being accepting- unconditional positive regard. Finally, nuture growth by being empathetic-sharing and mirroring feelings.

INFJ is the most rare type, with the most rare type of genius. It’s estimated that INFJs may be as rare as 1 in 100 and some will even reach adulthood without having a personal connection with a single other person of their type. The genius of the INFJ type is a function of the brain known as Introverted iNtuition.

It provides only one data point about the distribution of IQs within a type. It provides only one data point about the distribution of IQs within a type. Using that to say INFPs are statistically smarter than INFJs is a huge unsupported leap.

INFPs score much higher on honesty and authenticity than the INFJ personality type. More likely to speak your mind and share your own feelings, even when they disagree with or hurt the feelings of others. INFJs can learn to be great in any of the areas INFPs are good at, too.

They’re both very warm and always thinking the best of everyone. They’re both very sensitive and caring, and not afraid to show their feelings. They’re idealistic and goal driven, but at times unsure how to get there. They’re both very special to me – their gentleness and kindness, are for me, their best qualities.

INFPs are also rare, making up about 4 to 5 percent of the population. Are you an INFP? You might be if you identify with these 12 less obvious INFP personality traits.

In reality, most INFPs are vastly overlooked in terms of intelligence because they’re seen as “slow” by most other types; particularly Te users. In fact, all INs (INTJ, INTP, INFJ, INFP) are seen as dubious in terms of intelligence because their “train-of-thought” isn’t widely understood by any non-IN type.

The INFP. Your rich imagination and mysterious, complex nature are deeply attractive. We wish that you could invite us into the world inside your mind so we could explore its beauty and ingenuity. You see meaning in everything around you and you challenge us to be our authentic selves.

Referred to as the “Mediator” because of their ability to see multiple sides to a problem, seeing everyone’s side can be exhausting, and that’s when having an INFP personality can be more negative than positive. The Myers-Briggs personality test groups everyone in the world into 16 personality types.

Cruelty, inequality, and injustice. Everyone would say they can’t stand cruelty and injustice, but INFPs take their hatred of it to a whole new level. People of this compassionate personality type tend to be highly empathetic and sensitive.
