Interesting seeing some of the other comments here re the harmonizing sub type not just being found in later life. I am also someone who identifies as harmonizing since childhood. Where I have honed and matured is going from being attuned to emotions to also understanding the narrative behind the behaviour. In later life I have leaned more into a normalizing space which has enabled me to become more effective and successful by developing strong routines, and better boundaries which makes me a more rounded and balanced person and leader.
Thank you so much for the podcast. I am an INFP and at the beginning of my career I worked as a secretary/assistant in hotels, a non-profit organization and then at my family’s consulting business. I then turned my hobby into a career as a singer, songwriter and vocal coach. I am self-empolyed and consider myself a creative entrepreneur (and always feel like an imposter when saying this!).
I find myself identifying with characteristics from every “subtype” depending on the situation or setting I am in. E.g. I have some leadership role in our church and work with a lot of creatives. So I find myself taking the role of the dominant (because nothing would get done, and I am strongly beleive in our “mission”). My husband is an INTJ and in our partnership I would probably be more a creative. In my role as vocal coach I find myself attracting people who have some trauma related to their singing voice and want to find their voice again More ambitious singers find me sometime too nice. Over all I would type myself today as harmonizing.
So, I was wondering if we not only grow from one flavour to another over time but also switch between them according to situation or setting we find ourselves in.
I have been the harmonizing subtype my entire life and have started to grow and incorporate the others as a mature 50 year old. So definitely this sub is not reserved for mature INFPs.
I am an INFP and listened to all the subtypes and was sad that none of them sounded like me at all….until I got to the harmonizing sub!!! Then I started laughing out loud and screamimg. Hahahaha I have been this subtype my entire life not just older. This describes me since I was a toddler and have memories. My family would agree. So not just for older people!
Now it’s getting clearer! I’ve always typed as INFP but I’ve never considered myself as creative. Ever! You can only imagine the frustration of knowing that I resonate deeply with INFP but also being unable to identify with our famous “creativity”. Ugh! I think I’m the normalising subtype and now I understand I need to (sort of) compartmentalise my day-to-day job from my other impulses coming from extraverted intuition.
Thank you, Antonia and Joel! I can finally feel less like an impostor.
PS: I would love to work in a library, matching people to the particular fiction books they would enjoy but I think AI would probably do that nowadays.
