Learning Challenges for the INFJ

The INFJs greatest learning challenges come from their greatest strength. They’re extremely sensitive people, constantly aware of the mood of a room and of the individual people in it. This can create problems for their education. This type enjoys helping others and making them happy and this instinct can overwhelm their academic aspirations. In a classroom setting, they can become so overwhelmed with the emotional needs and the dramas of the people around them that it literally short circuits their thinking processes. This is also connected to their dislike of conflict, and can be a particular problem in the high school setting with its heightened emotions.

INFJs need a lot of time on their own. They use introverted intuition as their learning process, which means they need time to sit with the information, ruminate over it, and work out how it fits into their lives and into their minds. This need can be a problem in an academic environment, with people and noise and movement everywhere. In this type of setting, INFJs will usually have trouble focusing on the information and integrating it, which means they’ll quickly forget it. This kind of solitary learning isn’t understood or respected in most academic circles, so the INFJ will usually have to fight hard to get the time they need.

I have just turned 23! Life flew by in a jiffy. Dreamt last night about being a primary school student, it really felt not too long ago…

Was having alot of time in my ideals and in my head till I had to reach out to my church friends. So thankful for them in my life tbh. Sometimes we need Godly friends to pull us out of the traps that has ensnared us along the way. Important we humble ourselves before Him and reach out to others for help. I see now how much of a difference it can make 🙂

God is still good in the midst of suffering. He is and will always be.

Xoxo, Van.

I am just happy to finally feel some form of passion in my area of study so that I would continue putting in maximal effort and doing in my studies. And also be more clear in the skills in which I should developed for future ultilization. Things been looking really promising and enjoying life in general alot more. Looking forward to seeing with God has planned for me with a joyful heart and humbling posture toward Him.

20/09/2020: MacRitche outing

First MacRitche outing with the gang! ☺️

Met at 7.30am (I was 15mins late)

We walked ~ 15km today! Nice weather and nice company, so grateful. Thank God for bringing these people in my life, to speak life and walk with me when I am still far from you & susceptible to straying.. it can only be you 🥺…

And my face was blocked 🥺

Thankful for these people in my life! I call them ohana, and it means family.

Day’s encounter

  • Met with A at twenty-eight cafe to discuss about design and update our social media feeds.
    • Had an iced latte
    • Was raining heavily
    • Left the cafe at about 3pm
  • Taught tuition at Sengkang area, at tutee’s house. Had to summarize the key concepts of secondary 3 chemistry to my student. He has a test on tues! (HOPING FOR THE BEST)
    • Nonetheless, was a fruitful session with my student, I have high hopes for him! Amazing kid who is always so curious about everything. So inquisitive!! 🙂 Amazing lah the next generation!
    • On the way home, I bumped into 2 of my ex-tutees (primary school students). Super timely and so glad to have bumped into them (although they weren’t people who were very pleasant to work with due to their irresponsibility of paying on-time)… hearing that the student actually missed me and my teaching, tbh, made my heart melt T_T she said something along the lines of, “If you are still teaching there, I would go back there..”
  • Walked around Compass one to check out the headphones, finally settled on the JBL 600BTNC, did not get it yet because wanted to really make a wise and non-impulsive decision. Got to sit on it for awhile!
  • Got home, showered, played mobile AuditionSea for abit.
  • Had a scrumptious homecooked dinner.
  • Andd.. it’s back to the books!
    • Whilst replying social media/online chat messages, I read my book called “Be Real” by Rick Bezet.
      • Finally manged to complete it! Very easy to read, I enjoyed the book!
    • Now its 1:18 am and I just started reading Genesis 21-30. Thereafter, it is prayer time!

What an amazing day. Thank you Lord for your love and grace in my life! For protecting me in all areas of my life. May I continue to see you hand in all area of my life and in the things around me, that I may be a useable vessel haha. It is my honor and I am so so humbled to be salt & light for your glory. You are so so good Lord. Thank you.

In Jesus’ Almighty name,

Amen!
