The vanity thing is going to depend on the person and what their Fi values are. It’s not an INFJ thing across the board. It’s interest and value based. This INFJ is quite frugal and would rather be in my comfy jeans and barefoot than some fancy ass clothes. Spending $1000 on a shirt seems dumb to me. But I don’t value clothes. I value comfort in my clothes and a bargain. I hate showing brand names and labels. I prefer you not know what I’m wearing and simply like the how it looks and feels rather than the label. So if I can find something amazing at a thrift shop, I’ll take it.
My intuition is a no-thinking thing. No thinking is to be brain-dead, no-thinking = intuition. It doesn't look smart, maybe it isn't, but it gets the job done. Rather than actively think or feel, the placate brain supplies the answers without effort.
I had a bit of an obsession at one stage with "hair toys" and despite having no money managed to get about 1000 euro worth of them(many gifted). They're definitely the kind of thing that would cause that weird reaction your friend was after and I've never met anyone in person wearing that kind of item. Google timberstone turnings on etsy for an idea. I realised it's basically a way for inferior Se to manifest, I'll refuse to go to hair dressers and blow money on something so shallow and consumeristic as my hair but I'll have this intense obsession with "natural" hair products and "artisanal" accessories to the point of spending a fortune in a relatively short period of time. Now that I have some understanding of it, correct or not, the intensity of that interest diminished greatly.
As you have demistifyingly expounded on the 'hidden secrets' of the INFJ, the precursor to your grand breakthrough (2:06) has suddenly illuminated the INFJ's deepest and most embarrassing secret, one which probably explains their penetrating insight : smoke weed→exhale insight. Nevertheless, I would argue that eating cheese yields even greater insights - from both the major orifices at that!

Sometimes as an infj I'll ask questions so I can figure many things at once past present and future
lol, the vanity comment. At first, I was like, "Nope" but then after the full explanation, I was like..."ok he gets it." :)
Good video. You seem to understand INFJs well.
As a supposed INFJ myself, I have to admit that you got it right. And I don't like admitting to it.
btw, however, I do appreciate the way you present your convoluted scientific jargon. well noted!!

I like good things, quality things, who doesn't?
You are so right. Especially the vanity thing lol what can I say? My Se is very primal & wants only the best of aesthetics
