I’ve often seen people torn between ISTJ vs ISTP for their personality type. Anyone who has gone down the deep rabbit hole that is the cognitive functions may question how these two types could be mistaken. However, it’s surprisingly common. Sure, there are certain ways in which these two types are drastically different, but there […]

Thus far, we’ve written several inferior function comparison articles, but we have yet to specifically cover inferior Fi vs. Fe. In the previous comparison articles, we didn’t compare the functions directly, per say. Those articles were focused on using the logic of the dominant function to determine and define how that same function would manifest […]

Personality type dilemmas involving two types who only differ in the realm of introversion and extraversion can be tricky to distinguish. ISFP vs ESFP is one of these dilemmas. Both types share all the same cognitive functions, just in slightly different orders. So, the type of information they value and even their approach to life […]

INTJ vs ENTJ is an extremely common dilemma, whether people realize it or not. In my experience, ENTJs frequently mistype as another personality type, INTJ being one of the most common. Of course, many types mistype as the INTJ, so overall that isn’t surprising. (See 8 Types That Mistype as The INTJ.) However, there are […]

ISTJ vs ISFJ is not a typing dilemma that you hear too much about, but it’s not definitely not an unusual mix-up. Unfortunately, both of these personality types are not very highly regarded in the typology community, which is why people often mistype as something else entirely. However, there are instances where people are certain […]

INFJ vs INFP is a typing dilemma that I see everywhere. We had an older article on INFJ vs INFP differences, but I thought it was time for a revamp. (We’ve been slowly working to publish type comparisons for every possible dilemma out there.) With this particular dilemma, I sometimes struggle on a practical level […]

The INTP is a highly regarded and desirable personality type, making people prone to mistype as one. As many personality enthusiasts are aware, the typology community often falls prey to bias. Intuition and introversion specifically tend to get preference, and even thinking to some degree. As a result, personality tests are often over-eager to divvy […]

ENTP vs INTP is another typing dilemma that represents a challenge for many. NTPs often find themselves caught between the two personality types, unsure of which fits better. Of course, that’s not surprising, given the fact that the two types are very similar from a cognitive function standpoint. They have the exact same functions, only […]

Often times, the hardest personality types to differentiate from one another are the introverted and extraverted counterparts. ISTJ vs ESTJ is one of these comparisons. Like all such comparisons, these two have a remarkable amount in common with each other when it comes to their thought processes and their general approach to life. Things can […]

INTJ vs INTP is a surprisingly common typing dilemma, in spite of the fact that the differences between these two types are fairly prominent. Regardless, this dilemma plagues many. We had a really old article on INTJ vs INTP differences, but decided it was time to give it a major overhaul. In the original, I […]
