Subconscious Processing As I mentioned above, introverted intuition is an often misunderstood function mainly because it’s unobservable and, therefore, difficult to understand. Introverted intuition works by using the five senses to collect subtle details from the immediate environment. Because INFJs are feelers and they use extroverted feeling, their focus tends to be on people, so the details they notice may be barely recognizable facial cues, voice intonation, and general body language, for example. Once an INFJ notices these things, Ni then begins to process them in the subconscious mind.
