INTP vs ISTP is an extremely common dilemma, one that I even struggled with at one point in time. From a cognitive function standpoint, this dilemma is specifically concerning the differences between auxiliary Ne and auxiliary Se. We have a much older article (IXTP/IXFP: Am I an Ne or Se User?) addressing this dilemma, but […]

Struggling between an introverted personality type and it’s extraverted counterpart is common. Most healthy people are ambiverts in their daily lives, so it can be natural to question whether you are an extravert or an introvert in the realm of typology. ENFP versus INFP is one such dilemma.

In the past, I’ve put significant effort into explaining inferior Fe in a personalized way, which isn’t exactly an easy or natural thing for me. However, I did realize at a certain point that sometimes inferior Fe gets generally confused with social anxiety. (A lot of people can relate to some general insecurities that inferior […]
