Hey Guys so I've been looking at the cognitive functions for some of the personality types, looking more specifically at INFP, ENFP and INFJ. After looking at them, I think I might be more of an INFJ.
I know about the INFJ functions ( Introverted Intuition, Extroverted Feeling, Introverted Thinking, Extroverted Sensing). However, I'm finding it harder to grasp the concept of the shadow functions (would these be how the INFJ acts when they are under stress?)
The shadow functions for the INFJ;
Extroverted Intuition (Opposing)
Introverted Feeling (Critical Parent)
Extroverted Thinking (Deceiving)
Introverted Sensing (Devilish)
I'm just curious to know, how would an INFJ act according to all 4 shadow functions. For example, because Introverted Feeling is the second shadow function (critical parent). Would this mean that maybe when INFJ's are under stress they might put themselves down because they don't feel like a "good" person, or they don't feel like they haven't followed their morals/ ethics?? I don't know If that sounds right..:/
Would you be able to use examples of what kind of behaviour these 4 shadow functions would involve in regards to the INFJ personality type because I'm a bit stuck?
