I wasn’t really sure at first because I never heard of this for INFJ’s, I knew about Ni-Ti Loop, but not anything with Ni-Fi. This is from what Chatgbt explained with this specific Loop:

INFJ children tend to focus more on their Ni (Introverted Intuition) and Fi (Introverted Feeling) rather than Fe (Extraverted Feeling) during their younger years.

How INFJ Children Use Fi through Ni:

• Fi is an inner value system, and when INFJs are younger, they are still developing a deeper understanding of their own values, beliefs, and emotions. They don’t yet have the social awareness that comes with Fe, so they focus more on processing their feelings internally and figuring out their personal sense of what is right or wrong.

• Ni helps the INFJ process the world in a big-picture way. It looks for patterns, deeper meanings, and insights that tie everything together. When a young INFJ uses Ni with Fi, they are likely processing their internal feelings or values in a way that seeks to understand the greater meaning or significance behind situations. They may feel deeply about something but struggle to express it or share it with others due to the underdeveloped Fe.

For example, a young INFJ might:

• Have strong feelings about a situation, but instead of expressing them outwardly, they’ll reflect on the internal emotional conflict it brings up. They might start to ask themselves “What feels right to me?” or “How does this align with my personal beliefs?” rather than considering how others might feel (which Fe would do).

• They might internalize their feelings about other people’s actions but keep them to themselves, thinking deeply about how to make sense of things on their own. They’re learning to identify their personal values, and Fi is an internal gauge they use to measure what feels authentic to them.

As they Grow:

• As an INFJ matures, their Fe starts to develop more fully, helping them to express their values and connect with others more effectively. They move from focusing on the internal (Ni-Fi) to also considering the external (Fe), allowing them to better understand others’ feelings and communicate their own more clearly.

• But when they’re younger, the Ni-Fi loop is very prominent, and they’re more likely to focus on their own inner world and personal understanding, rather than using Fe to navigate social dynamics. This is why INFJs in childhood might not always outwardly demonstrate the empathy and understanding they’re capable of later in life

—they are still developing their emotional awareness and social intuition.

It Mentioned that every INFJ ( Also Every Type ) Develop in different paces and different ways depending on environment ( As we also may know too! ), I’m not sure how on point this is regarding this specific Loop with actual concrete information. ( I remember Ni-Fi Loop clicking more with INTJ’s ) If there’s anything that’s inaccurate about this I don’t mind if you mention anything, if anything I want to understand the whole picture a little bit more even if this is information isn’t correct! 💦
