This is a compilation of the 4 videos I made on the INFP subtypes. I chopped out the intros and outros to make it easier to view it all in one place.


If you're an INFP and you've never quite resonated with standard personality stereotypes, it’s likely because you belong to one of four distinct brain-based subtypes.


Based on Dr. Dario Nardi’s 64-channel EEG brain-mapping research in "Decode Your Personality," the INFP personality type expands into four distinct neurological patterns: Dominant, Creative, Normalizing, and Harmonizing.


In this full compilation guide, I break down each INFP subtype, looking at their real brain wiring, core strengths, career tendencies, blind spots, and how to identify your unique character class (personality type).
