The values and motivations of the INFP (Mediator/Psychologist type)

INFPs, who value "identity" and "authenticity," want their actions to be original and unique. They are the type of person who is interested in searching for meaning and truth within themselves.

INFPs are not drawn to living according to traditional values and customs, and instead seek to develop their own values and beliefs. They are often unconventional and do not try to conform to or adapt to others. As a result, they tend to act in ways that are unconventional and unorthodox.
This is because INFPs value making their own decisions about what is right. Rather than conforming to those around them or trying to blend in with the group, they strive to be true to themselves and be honest with themselves.

INFPs believe that everyone should walk their own path, and they are free from prejudice against others, understanding, respecting, and accepting of them. Furthermore, INFPs are flexible and adaptable, able to view and consider things from many perspectives, and are the type of person who can incorporate the opinions of various people.
On the other hand, while understanding and supporting others is important for INFPs, they can also react strongly if they feel their beliefs or values are being violated.
Furthermore, INFPs dislike and avoid being swayed by people who insist they are always right. This is because INFPs idealize open and collaborative exchanges of opinions.
