Generally speaking, this is the wrong question to be asking. There are some similarities between the dichotomies (N, S, T, F), but as a whole, they are not very reliable when defining your personality type. You see, there is this misconception out there that in order to be able to have an abstract thought, you […]

We published this article a while back, but noticed that it was due for a significant update. Basically, what we’re talking about here is, am an introverted TJ or an extraverted TJ? You may think that this is an odd question to be asking. If you enjoy spending tons of time around people, then you’re […]

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 […]

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.

Today, I want to talk specifically about Judging versus Perceiving, and generally hit what the dichotomy does and does not indicate. Cognitive Function Basics For those new to the cognitive functions, the judging and perceiving dichotomy might […]

And here it is: another common typing dilemma. Ti, or Introverted Thinking, and Fi, or Introverted Feeling,  are both introverted judging functions, which subsequently makes them introspection functions. People with Ti or Fi as their dominant function tend to be over thinkers, and are the most prone to questioning their type. To put it bluntly, […]

Visit Fe vs. Te: Am I an FJ or a TJ? for newer information on this subject Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the difference between a Te and Fe dominant after having a surface level interaction with them. They both tend to find themselves in similar positions or situations at times, which can for […]

The INTJ, INTP and ISTP types have often been called “look-alike” personalities. I personally think that that’s in part due to mistypes… In day-to-day life, INTJs and INTPs come across very differently in my experience. There are certain scenarios in which an ISTP will appear similar to an INTJ, but those two as a whole […]

ENFP or ESFP? ENTP or ESTP? We all know the extremes. ESXPs, or Se dominants, are the jocks who are solely interested in the tangible realm, while ENXPs, or Ne dominants, are the debaters and theorizers who can’t manage to get anything physically done. However, while these extremes do exist, there are plenty of people […]
