INFJ & INFP, & the Theory of the 6th Shadow Function

In this video I explain why the INFJ and INFP sometimes think they’re the other type, and how the 6th “critical parent” function can temporarily hijack their stack. I show what it looks like when an INFJ gets pulled up into shadow Fi, and when an INFP gets pulled up into shadow Ni, and why both give bad data. Then I wrap with a simple way to notice the trigger, park it, and return to your real dominant function.
