INFPs (Authenticity/Exploration genius) have perhaps the most intimate connection with human values and human needs. They are extremely well attuned to mankind’s progression and often form the moral backbone of social movements. They have a strong “spiritual hero” quality (even if atheists!). Many storybook heroes are Authenticity/Exploration. They are natural masters of culture, personal expression, and even technology. The human condition is always the focus of their world. They are individualists, both in action and in belief. A core principle with all Authenticity/Exploration genius is their insistence that everyone be allowed to “just be themselves
INTP’s lead with the cognitive function Accuracy (Introverted Thinking). Accuracy is highly skilled at understanding systems and filleting out data points other people conflate. It’s like surgery for data points. It gets good at spotting inconsistencies and incongruities.
It also tends to get myopic. In order to take in a bigger picture and see how these data points fit into a larger narrative, Exploration – the process that engages with the environment to spot new patterns and understand how disparate things relate to each other – is the key to not missing important details that may otherwise be outside your frame of reference and experience.
