While still on the constant quest to find out who they are, they will fully adapt to their new role using their Ne.

They might start to falsily identify as either INTJs or ENTJs - two of the most driven and conscientious types. The INFPs who disintegrate into Turbulent Addicts are most often Enneagram Fours. As a result, they won’t have the possibility to fulfill their creative urges. Other Turbulent Addicts will be thrown into the claws of responsibility by life circumstances. I know of an INFP who overworked himself to secure financial independence, hoping that it will allow him to focus solely on art in the future.

This function makes INFPs extremely open-minded and receptive to new ideas. The second function of INFPs is Ne (extroverted intuition), which could also be described as pattern gathering. If they don’t find a way out of such situations, the INFP will try to cope with the pain by muting all feelings, falling into a depressive state.īut there’s a second factor that makes INFPs so vulnerable to mental collapse.
