INFP哲学家型-富有创造力的探索者，喜欢随性生活的人生(7)

这在某种程度上让他们开始更加严肃地考虑自己的人生道路。
Ne is INFPs’ preferred extraverted function and one of the primary tools they use to explore the outside world. These explorations may include things like dabbling in countercultures, experimenting with drugs, starting their own band, traveling overseas, joining the Peace Corps, etc. Through these experiences, they hope to get a better sense of who they are and where they might fit into the world. Through this process of world exploration (which is equally, if not more, about self-exploration) many INFPs will either modify or part ways with the religious and political views they were raised with.
Ne功能是INFP比较喜欢的一项外向型功能，也是他们探索外界世界最主要的工具。
这些探索方式也许包括：拥护反主流文化、尝试毒/-/品、创立自己的乐队、全世界旅游、参加维h部d，等等。
通过这些经历，他们希望可以更了解他们自己以及他们要怎样适应这个世界。
通过这一系列探索世界的过程（或者叫做自我探索的过程），很多INFP们会开始修改一些他们曾经对宗/-/教、政/-/治的看法。
The liberal and explorative ways of Ne are checked and countered by INFPs’ tertiary Si and inferior Te, which urge them to “be responsible” and follow a more traditional path. INFPs who heed this prompting will function more conventionally (e.g., finish their degree, get a job, get married, etc.) and may look less like seekers. They may, however, be more disposed to a mid-life identity crisis if they conclude that the path they chose was not authentically their own. Perhaps most commonly, Phase II INFPs feel themselves bouncing between unconventional (Fi-Ne) and conventional (Si-Te) paths as they try to discern what works best for them.
