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.

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.

In other words, if someone takes a personality test and manages to achieve one of the INXX types as their result, they are usually quite pleased.

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. Many NFPs find themselves uncertain as to […]

At initial glance, you may wonder who confuses an FJ with a TJ. I mean, one is a thinker and one is a feeler, right? One has Extraverted Feeling (Fe) as one of their top two cognitive functions, while the other has Extraverted Thinking (Te). Shouldn’t an FJ be overflowing with emotions while a TJ […]

This mix-up is actually more common than most people probably realize. I think some people get it in their heads that these two types will appear drastically different, because Ni is drastically different from Si. However, considering the dominant placement in these two types and the fact that both are introverted, that’s actually not the […]
