3 Questions With An INFP: Jas Hothi

3 Questions With An INFP is a short interview designed to share the unique voices of individual INFPs and see how similar, and different, we all are.

And now I present: 

Jas Hothi

  1. How did you find out you were INFP?

My journey feels like it started around 10 years ago, when my deep-diving into ‘self-help’ led to discovering I was an introvert (thanks to Susan Cain), a highly sensitive person (thanks to Elaine Eron) and an INFP personality type. Lots of things started to make sense. Since then, it’s gradually been a case of understanding my personality better and slowly figuring out a way of living and working that’s aligned who with I am. Managing my time – and my energy­ – is so important for me. Freedom is perhaps my most important value, in every sense of the word.

  1. What do you create?

One of the things I’ve realized is that to create is really important for my enjoyment, my life and my soul. When I left my job in 2015 I started writing things to process what was going on for me at the time. These sporadic pieces led to my first blog, and the next, and then the next. I gradually developed more and more confidence in my blogging and writing, in my identity as a creative (and what you might call a creator these days, as this is now my work, too), and I also now have a podcast and youtube channel. I seem to have built my work around creating and connecting with others, and these outlets all help me do these things in different ways.

My journey has been a slow and gradual one, but I would not change it for the world. I also enjoy both doing and consuming different forms of writing and music; I’d like to write more poetry and perhaps put it to music. For me, though, I see my fiction/poetry/creative writing as for me and not for making money. I also journal. It’s important for me to have writing that’s writing just because, without any expectation or pressure attached to it.

  1. What do you enjoy?

As I’ve mentioned already, I really love to create and connect with others. I often speak of my most important values being growth, connection and freedom. I enjoy exploring new places, whether it’s spending time abroad (I spent a couple of months as a digital nomad in Madeira this last Summer), or simply exploring coffee shops and green spaces closer to home. I love watching sports, and spending time walking outdoors or stretching out on a mat. I also enjoy absorbing the stories of others whether it’s through an auto-biography, a biographical documentary or a podcast interview. I’m continuing to learn and grow and see where life takes me next 🙂
