INFPs typically rely on intuition and are more focused on the big picture rather than the nitty-gritty details. They can be quite meticulous about things they really care about or projects they are working on but tend to ignore mundane or boring details.
They are highly empathetic, which leads them to crave to understand others but are also highly introspective. In professional environments, INFPs tend to focus on the bigger picture and aren't as concerned with the details. They aspire to change the world and seek to learn new ideas and skills.
People with the INTP personality type think about the big picture rather than focusing on every tiny detail.
I know that we INFPs are said/presumed to have curious (Ne) eyes that are wide and dreamy. They also appear deep and drift off to somewhere other than the present. When emotions overwhelm us those emotions probably reveal in our eyes too; we can't, or don't want to hide them (Fi).
INFPs are imaginative idealists, guided by their own core values and beliefs. To a Healer, possibilities are paramount; the realism of the moment is only of passing concern. They see potential for a better future, and pursue truth and meaning with their own individual flair.
The INFP. There's often an air of mystery surrounding the INFP personality type. Their quiet exterior and inward focus can make them seem disengaged or even aloof. But what is happening inside the mind of the INFP is usually a rich inner world of fantasy, emotion, and imagination.
ESFPs are good at understanding how other people are feeling and can respond to other people's emotions in productive ways. For this reason, ESFPs can make good leaders and have a knack for mobilizing, motivating, and persuading group members.
INFP. An imaginative and individualized type, INFPs tend to follow their own style rules. They are generally non-judgmental when it comes to fashion and believe that everyone should be free to wear what they want, how they want. INFPs use clothes as a tool for self-expression, letting their creative side lead the way.
We appear cool and aloof
INFPs usually have very deep feelings, but these can be so deep that they stay buried within us and don't make it to the surface and show on our facial expressions, or in our words and tone of voice. Sometimes we're just shy and reserved.
Popular pairs, INTJ and INFJ, tend to be the two MBTI personality types that stare the most.

INFP: Decisiveness
Other times, they just don't really know what they want. So when someone is decisive and can make a quick, informed decision, it's an incredibly attractive trait for them. It shows their partner can take charge and lead the way, making life much easier for the INFP.
INFPs are adaptable and fast-thinkers - they just might not be very vocal about it, which leads some people to believe they're slow learners. In reality, many INFPs thrive in fast-paced environments where they get to put their creativity and positivity to use.
Thinking too much about the little intricacies of everything is likely to drain them, which may slow them down in other aspects of life as well. Inflexible or purposeless routine is also likely to bring a bit of stress to INFPs. They generally dislike strict schedules and prefer to make things up as they go.
The pressure of having everyone looking at them waiting for a reaction can make them feel shy or awkward. Many INFPs also experience “second-hand embarrassment”. For example, they might feel embarrassed when someone is trying to make jokes but they are all falling flat.
The Eclectic Stylist, INFP: The Style Original
Style is continuity, linked with authenticity and comfort. The INFP knows when she's wearing clothes she loves: clothes that speak to her are a bit different in some way, sometimes quirky. “It doesn't matter what others think even if they think you're ridiculous.
So, if an INFP really likes you, they'll go out of their way to talk to you and engage in a meaningful conversation. It's their way of telling you that they care and want to know you better.
