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.

As result, it’s extremely common for people to mistake themselves for this highly aggrandized personality type. Naturally, the result has been a prevalence in “fake” […]

I’ve been playing around with writing mistype articles for a while now, but I’m going to do something a little bit different than I typically see; I’m going to write about the various types who tend to mistype as INFJs, based on what we’ve seen. As we know, it’s an extremely popular personality to be, […]
