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.

The INTJ is one of most desired personality types out there. They’re the masterminds, the brilliant strategists, the big picture thinkers, and so forth… Or at least the stereotypes say.

This is a very real pattern. We’ve probably run across more ESTJs and ENTJs that mistype as introverts than one’s that type as the actual extraverts that they are. Granted, many extraverts tend to mistake themselves as introverts, but this specific problem does seem extremely commonplace amongst the ENTJs and ESTJs. A ENTJ will often […]

I published this article close to two years ago, but recently I’ve learned quite a bit more about the distinctions between these two types. We try to periodically go back and update our staple articles as we learn more, so, it’s time to do this one. I’m going to go ahead and launch right into […]

There is widespread confusion in the typology community about how to differentiate Ne and Se. We, at PracticalTyping, have already written an article on how to differentiate the ENXPs from the ESXPs, and another article on differentiating the INXPs from the ISXPs. In both of those, and as a general rule on this blog, we […]
