I know what some of you may be thinking right about now. Why would you do a typing dilemma for whether someone is an INFP or ISTJ? Those two types are nothing alike. While on the surface you would be right, there are certain scenarios that can cause the line between them to blur. They […]

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?

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.

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.
