Biggest Block to INFJ Intuition
INFJ personality types are one of the most highly intuitive personality types in the MBTI personality type system. Many INFJ personality types experience intuition naturally. It’s an ability they don’t need to work at or push toward, because it subtly arises whenever they are faced with major and minor life decisions. But for other INFJ personality types, intuition can remain elusive and difficult to pinpoint, leaving them confused as to which direction to take in life.
INFJ personality types who are struggling with intuition are usually struggling with overthinking and worrying too much about the outcome of different situations. When they anticipate a situation unfolding in a way that does not end in the outcome they desire, they become nervous and feel panicked. This is because their security center is triggered by feeling uncertainty about the future.
The key to working with INFJ intuition is to understand that following intuition will often trigger the security center and that this isn’t necessarily an indicator that something is actually wrong. Much of the time, we can’t have it both ways when it comes to following our intuition and feeling secure about an exact outcome we want to happen in the future. Intuition naturally involves risk, and if we try to avoid risk at all costs in order to soothe our security center, we will end up blocking our intuition and nothing will get through to us. To connect more deeply with our INFJ intuition, we must accept that our security center may be triggered and move ahead with following our intuition anyway, in spite of the fear or other uncomfortable feelings we may experience.
