10 Resources For INFPs

A little while ago I wrote an article on the INFP personality type.  This is a follow-up/companion to that article.  These are ten helpful and active INFP resources that I found while exploring INFPs on the internet.  Hope you find them useful!  (Oh, and they are in no particular order.)

Resources for the INFP!

INFP Blog – From the “About” page, Corin writes “This blog is my thoughts on being an INFP and how I interact and deal with the “real” word. Hopefully, you’ll find it amusing.” As one of the only blogs I found totally dedicated to INFPs, this is a great one to check out if you are interested in some thoughtful insights and helpful recommendations for living, working and having relationships as an INFP. Some of my favorite posts on the sight include: “Speaking INFP” and “Myth of the Soulmate.”

INFP Facebook Group – This Facebook group for INFPs has 4,129 members and has an active wall and discussions.  Looks like a great place to meet and talk to other INFPs.  (Thanks Velanche!)

INFP Forum at Personality Cafe – Have a question about being INFP?  Or want to know if something you do is very typical for INFPs?  Then stop by this forum.  From the mundane to the poignant, all of your INFP questions and discussions go on here.

INFP Twitter Lists – Corin of “INFP Blog” also keeps a comprehensive set of INFP Twitter Lists including a full list of INFPs he has found on Twitter, as well as certain categories of INFPs (for instance, “INFP Bloggers” and “INFP Writers and Poets”). If you are interested in finding and following other INFPs on Twitter definitely check out Corin’s lists.

INFP Twitter Searches – Speaking of Twitter, doing a Twitter search for both “INFP” and “#INFP” will also help you find people who are INFPs or are discussing INFP/Myers Briggs.  Saving both of these searches will always keep you connected to INFP discussion on Twitter.

INFP Meetups – I have never been to one, but for those of you who would like to meet up with INFPs in “real life” not just in “internet life” there is a page for INFP meetups.  Some of the groups are dedicated INFP meetups and others seem to include INFP members but may have some other main focus.  If anyone decides to attend I’d be curious to know how it goes.

INFP Companion – This is a nice little page that lists a whole bunch of INFP resources including blogs, articles, forums, groups and books.  Nice to have all of this information in one place.

Surviving INFP – The only other dedicated INFP blog I found besides “INFP Blog.”  The post updates have been few and far between in the past several months, but there is an archive that goes back to May 2008 with some good articles in there.  A post I particularly like is “My Life As An INFP“.

INFPs Only – From the page: “This group was designed as a meeting ground for INFP everywhere.” Also a good place to have discussions with other INFPs about being INFP.

INFP Network on Brazen Careerist – Brazen Careerist is a “career management tool for next-generation professionals.”  So, if you consider yourself to be a “next-generation professional” or would like to be in their company, you can register yourself on the site.  The INFP network is pretty new, but another great place to get to know other INFPs.

Do you know of any other resources for INFPs?  Leave them in the comments!

This is awesome. I need a list like this for INTJs!

Thank you for including my blog in your list. I’m incredibly flattered that you find it useful enough to recommend to your readers.

I would highly recommend Personality Cafe. The posts in that forum range on through so many things and I find it a good source to get ideas for topics for my posts.

One of the recent posts was fascinating where an INFP in his 50s married to an INTJ for 23 years is having difficulty because of constant friction and personality clashes with his wife.

I lurk in the forums everyday. Occasionally I post a comment but I’m still doing the INFP wait-and-see thing before I participate.

P.S. – For Positively Present, Personality Cafe has an entire forum for INTJs.

Amanda,

Hi Dani – Looks like Corin (comment below yours) knows of a place!

Hi Corin – I think your blog is a great place for INFPs to visit and comment. I’m actually surprised that there are not more blogs dedicated to INFPs. Seems like an INFP thing to do. :)

Hi Leah – Glad you like it!

Hi Trish – Yes, I’ve found lots of INFP stuff on Twitter. The amount is surprising really!

Hi Lance – You’re welcome and glad you like it!

Hi Amanda. Thank you for this list. I have it bookmarked.

I also recommend personalitycafe.com because you can actually learn about the INFP type and also others as well.

You should add your blog in their resources section to get more views of your blog…

Hi Juju – Glad you found the post to be useful. Thanks for the recommendation on Personality Cafe. I have visited but haven’t posted there. I used to visit the “global chatter” INFP forums and enjoyed it. Since it is no more, I will check out Personality Cafe.

http://www.mypersonality.info is a great resource – it is not INFP-centric but includes comprehensive personality testing and after taking a series of test, gives you a detailed analysis. You can even create a personality badge out of the result. My page is http://www.mypersonality.info/isaokato/ fyi.

Hi Isao – Thanks for adding this resource. I will be sure to check it out!!
