It is possible for an INF to be anti-intellectual because of upbringing due to limited exposure to higher ideas and the great works/books AND/OR and prejudices developed then due to parental anti-intellectualism either through their lack of interest or their insecurities.
Could it be possible for an INF to express their inner life strictly through the langugage of pop culture and the things they happen to run into along the way in modern daily life? By anti-intellectual, I do mean having actual distaste and/or lack of interest in so-called higher subjects.
Or do you think that the inward pull of both introversion and intuition would always bring an INF around to exploring the worlds of classical philosophy, literature, art history, classical music, poetry etc?
I am curious what people's opinions are.
I am also curious if anyone here has known someone who seemed very N in their approach to life, but also had this distaste for what is considered more intellectual type subjects and materials. ( I don't mean distaste for the pompously intellectual and posers, but distaste for the subjects themselves.)
To be clear, I am not trying to turn this thread into a debate about what is or is not intellectual or whether pop culture is good or bad. I am not passing personal judgment on that here. I am more curious what the issues I have raised here say about the person's type.
