I just want to formally apologize to anyone whose type wasn’t given enough thought in this post...
That being said, for everyone of you whose type they truly found the perfect review for, enjoy:)
I was recently thinking about type contradictions. So someone I know is an ISTJ who fits the type description almost perfectly, but sometimes, particularly in stressful situations, he tends to be indecisive, and unable to stick to one thing, almost like a type with dom/aux ne that is unhealthy. Additionally, he is not a worrier, and does not typically use his inferior he to worry about all sorts of possible situations. However, he has obvious, very high si. Could this person still be ISTJ?
Yes. It is normal for people in stressful times to slip into the grip of their inferior function; during this time, the individual is attempting to function normally but with their inferior function as their sole, dominant function. Of course, their little inferior function is not equipped for such a task so things often turn out negative. If an ISTJ were to slip into the grip, they would be in the grip of inferior Ne.
Hi :) i looked at the cognitive functions and i still don't get how i find out the right order for the functions. How do you know the order of your functions and what is dom, aux ect. ? Can you help me?
If you search my blog for a post called “MBTI Explained,” it should explain everything. :)
So, i've been trying to type one of my friends, I've narrowed it down to ENFP or ENTP due to the cognitive functions. They fit the stereotypical description of the ENTP meme lord who screams profanities at people, but they don't seem to exhibit any other traits that are typically associated with T types. If it weren't for the fact that they love to create unnecessary conflict, and enjoy "attacking" people with mean words on the internet, I'd type them as an ENFP right away. Any advice?
If they seem like a stereotypical ENTP (and from what you’ve said, they are), then I wouldn’t think too much into it. Since Ti is an introverted function, it isn’t as easy to spot. In addition, based on your description, I would assume they are younger meaning their second function is still young and just developing. Finding enjoyment in playing devils advocate or creating unnecessary conflict is a tale-tell sign of an immature ENTP. Since it’s normally under the guise of an “intellectual pursuit”, their lower Fe isn’t bothered, their Ne is distracted and excited, and their Ti is constantly active as it thinks up counter arguments.
How would you tell the difference between ISFP and ESFP in a public setting. What key difference(a). I happen to resonate with both
ESFP- probably talking and very focused on what can be interacted with or said next ISFP- Along for the ride and a little out of it— no where near as engaged as the ESFP
I'm not certain if I'm using Ni or Ne, as many online cog function articles often contradict each other. Regarding everything, I automatically think of all possible (Ne) sequences/reasons/implications before "conjuring" one scenario to hold true (Ni); however, that does NOT mean that I will be closed off to other possibilities. My mind centers around possible futures, yet I am also a natural with underlying meanings and overarching themes and connections. (Ni? Ne? Idk.) What's your opinion?
I would say this sounds more like Ni; however, to be truly sure, I would leave the N debate on hold and determine what your first judging function is (Fi,Ti,Fe,Te) That will narrow down your options and make the decision easier.
If you had to choose one type that is PERFECT for INFJ in marriage which one would it be?
ISFJ, but ESTP is a close second
MBTI Types as Physical Features
ENFJ: The Face- Personable, Relatable, and Inviting
ESFP: The Eyebrows- Expressive and Present
ISFP: The Eyelashes- Light and Beautiful
ENFP: The Eyes- Bright and Alert
INFP: The Dimples- Noticeable and Unique
ESFJ: The Mouth- The Most Direct and Expressive Form of Communication
ISFJ: The Ears- Always Ready to Listen
ENTJ: The Head- Ultimately in Control
INTJ: The Neck- Ultimately Aims and Directs the Head
ENTP: The Spine- Keeps the Individual Upright, yet Active and Changeable
INTP: The Fingers- Precise, Dexterous, and Capable of Most Any Task
ESTP: The Hands- Tools of Action and Result
ISTP: The Feet- Constantly Moving and Purposeful
ESTJ: The Legs- Direct the Feet in the Proper Direction and Support the Body
ISTJ: The Arms- Direct the Hands Towards a Subject and Carry Anything Needed
INFJ: The Body- Reminds the Features They are All Connected
So I've been researching personality types and Im pretty sure I have mine narrowed down to INTJ. However, I can only be intuitive and passionate (to the point of researching it for hours on end) about the things I deem important, interesting and or intriguing. I find it nearly impossible to focus on a subject that is uninteresting or that I find to be stupid. Most of the time I either dismiss them completely or struggle to force myself to understand them. Is this normal or am I mistyping myself?
There is nothing in your description that is incompatible with the description of an INTJ, so if you have decided on this type, do not change your mind because of this. Your description of your passion for interesting topics and disdain for boring ideas could easily align with Ni-Te. Ni NEEDS passion to survive. It needs that drive, excitement, and desire for understanding that you mentioned. Talk to any Dom or Aux Ni about an abstract topic they are passionate about and you will see this fire. As for your lack of motivation for uninteresting topics, I would say that is pretty universal and shouldn’t be tied back to a type. Furthermore, your direct, somewhat intense word choice to describe uninteresting ideas, “stupid” and “dismiss”, are very strong indicators of Te.

types respond to “i love you”
ENFJ: *pretends to be shook* *actually saw it coming from a mile away*
INTJ: Uhh… cool.
INFP: My heart is a radiant flower, unfurling its dewy petals upon the pronouncement of your love.
ISFJ: Haha funny joke… wait, actually? Like, actually? I must immediately bake you some cookies!
INFJ: But love is an illusion. Do you love me, or just the external and idealized version of me? Can we ever truly hope to find a lasting and permanent connection which runs deeper than your vapid, run-of-the-mill union in today’s society? Or is it—
ENFP: Yes… good… you have fallen for my plan to make everyone and everything in the universe besotted with me.
ISFP: *cool and composed on the outside but weeping internally*
ESFJ: *weeping externally*
ESFP: And I love puppies. And social gatherings. And the occasional rainbow. Wait, what was I saying?
ESTP: *seductive eyebrow raise* *edgy backflip* What’s not to love?
ENTP: Well, that’s one thing I won’t debate you on.
INTP: The dopamine receptors in my brain are doing all sorts of ~funky things~ right now.
ISTP: Besides my power tools… you’re the only thing that’s ever made me feel alive…
ENTJ: Great! I’ll immediately prepare an itinerary on how best we can spend our time together to foster a successful romantic relationship.
ISTJ: And I love watching Judge Judy reruns. Wait, that was the romantic response you were looking for, right?
ESTJ: I could see you in my very successful future, which involves me being president of many organizations and laminating things.
Things the Types Need to Hear
ESFP: Look, I get it, you leave people in the dust because you know how crazy and all over the place your life can be and you’re also crazy scared to let somebody in just to have it end up with you accidentally leaving them and both of you getting hurt, but emotional intimacy and real depth in friendships are 100% worth it in the end and it’s the struggle and fight of a lifetime to keep them in your life, but it’s also the greatest gift and you can’t keep denying yourself that intimacy and friendship.
ISFP: I know you have a lot of great desires and wonderful dreams and they might seem too far off and too crazy and too beautiful to come true, but you have them for a reason, and you gotta stop paralyzing yourself with fear and take that first step and throw yourself into the unknown, and that’s the scariest part, I know, but we both know you’re braver than you look, and that your passion can make it happen.
ENFP: I know that the moment you hit an obstacle or two when you first start working towards that far off dream, it’s scary and it makes you want to crumble and run away to a new thing like you think you always do, but don’t! You’re miles more tenacious and capable than you give yourself credit for and you’ve got to discipline yourself and trust that your talents and optimism can and will propel you through whatever is keeping you from your goals.
INFP: I know it’s hard to feel understood and it’s easy to let yourself become bitter by the ways of the world or whatever’s happening, but closing yourself off to others isn’t going to save you the pain. You have a natural capacity to understand others that’s hard for the other types to grasp and when you stop yourself from using that talent, or use it for selfish reasons, you’re doing yourself a massive injustice.
ESTP: Listen, I totally get that the world is full of fun and interesting things and you want to experience them all, but you’ve got to remember that for a lot of the people that come along with you, they’re there to experience YOU as much as they’re there for the thing itself. Don’t let yourself forget that half the fun of anything is who you’re doing it with.
ISTP: I know you generally don’t mean to yell or be rude when your irritated and that it’s really just a passing thing and you don’t generally care all that much, but just apologize to people after you’ve calmed down! Explain it to them and that you don’t mean it! Admit to yourself that you care enough about them to try to make amends, even when you’re just being a little crotchety; it means a lot to the feelers lol.
ENTP: You’re a genuinely fun person to be around and you usually rack up a reputation for that, but just because you’re funny and witty and damn smart doesn’t mean you don’t have feelings and problems that need to be externalized, and trust me, the right people will be more than willing to talk about what’s really happening in your life one minute and go back to elaborate jokes the next without a problem. Don’t stunt your emotional growth for the sake of brevity.
INTP: It’s okay to not know what to do in an emotional situation. Like, it’s genuinely okay. If somebody’s opening up to you, half the time your presence and you listening is 95% of what they need in that moment. Don’t avoid the situations just because it causes writer’s block emotionally. Emotional availability comes with experience. You’ll learn. Just, be your goofy self and the rest will come with time.
ENFJ: You’ve got to realize that although holding yourself to such a high standard is noble and praiseworthy, that it sometimes eclipses your ability to be a good friend when that was the goal in the first place. You’re human and can’t do everything for your friends that you’d want to be able to do when they need help, and profusely apologizing and beating yourself up for it just shifts the focus off of helping your friend and turns it to you. Accept your humanity, and just do what you can. They appreciate the help, I promise.
INFJ: I know you have a tendency to feel misunderstood and want people to show you that they love you and care about you, but you don’t get to say you’re fine AND disappear on people. Either say you’re not okay and pull back, or say you’re okay and stick around long enough for somebody to see through the BS. In my experience, y'all have a habit of making things a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that doesn’t do you any good! Be forward, be honest, and just be vulnerable; they care more than you convince yourself they do.
ESFJ: I need to be straight with y'all. Learn how to talk about something other than your 4-5 current fixations. In my experience, N’s have a crazy hard time being close with you because you keep bringing the topic back to one of your current Favorite Things™, whether it be the semester abroad you just got back from or the first date that’s scheduled for two weeks from now. Expand your area of interest and you’ll find people will be much more authentic with you.
ISFJ: You have this really amazing ability to notice the small things about people and that helps you show them you care about them in these really great and meaningful ways, but you can’t let yourself overthink the small things you notice about people. One of my good ISFJ friends started poking around trying to see if alcoholism ran in my family after noticing I’d been drinking wine a lot recently. You might have an intention to help, but overthinking/overanalyzing like that and trying to involve yourself in helping can hurt your friendships.
ESTJ: Your presence is powerful and intense and that’s great at times, but you’ve got to let out your goofy fun side more, and hoe we’ve all seen it before, you’re a damn riot after a beer or two. People, in general, care more about fun than having every plan go right during the night/event. Be willing to be fun more, you’re so good at it.
ISTJ: I know you get frustrated with yourself because you want to do new things and get out there and be a fun person, but the thing is, you’re so much better at being a responsible, caring person. Befriend the chaotic, crazy, lovable rascals and let them bring the fun to you (or more often than not, drag you kicking and screaming to where the fun is).
ENTJ: Look, I’m an INTJ, so I know how hard this is to swallow, but showing you care about a person sometimes isn’t so much giving them solutions to their problems or trying to correct an issue; a lot of the other types literally just want you to listen and hear them out. And you gotta do that sometimes, babe. And shut your damn mouth while they’re telling you everything, okay? Just. Let them finish.
INTJ: For the love of all that is holy, just cry already. Cry alone if you have to, or better yet, just go to the person you’d literally murder a thousand people for and freakin’ cry about all the crap you’ve been bottling up for the past two months and accept that you can have razor-sharp rationale and be a damn human at the same time. And just admit that you’re insecure about your relationship with that person because you care about them so much and you’re not the best at trusting people.
INFJ vs INFP: 5 Ways To Distinguish Them
So guys most of the people who are interested in MBTI and Types are often confused about the differences between INFJ and INFP. Those two are the most easy to be mistyped. Personaly I’ve been mistyped as an INFJ but now it’s clear I’m an INFP. In this post I’ll write some important differences to tell them apart.
1. Judging and Percieving These types may seem to be the same, but that last letter changes everythings. The INFJ uses Judging which means they are more methodical, they need some restrictions, orders, rules. They work with a plan and maybe they tend to make a to-do list.INFP however, uses Percieving which means they work in a more playful way. They don’t see the importance of so many rules and they want to express themselves, so orders and plans are not their thing.
2. Cognitive Functions INFJ = Ni > Fe > Ti > Se
INFP = Fi > Ne > Si > Te
The INFJ might be a Judging type, but they are driven by a Percieving function which is called Ni (Introverted iNtuition). Ni is their dominant function and it is about understanding the big picture of humanity. They take in information first and judge or form conclusions second. They percieve information from symbols, patterns etc. After that, they sum everything up and conclude. INFJ see the world for what it means and they fill the gaps. On the other hand, the INFP uses Percieving but they are driven by a Judging function, called Fi (Introverted Feeling). Fi is like a personal compass of right and wrong. It judges first and percieves ideas second. Fi wants to decide based on strong, personal values and it has a powerful ethical code it should follow. INFP wants to decide first and take information later. They see everything in a personaly way (Fi).
What is more, INFJ’s auxiliary function is a judging fuction, called Fe (Extraverted Feeling). Fe wants to create harmony and maintain balance in social norms and relationships. It won’t be happy until everyone else is happy. However, INFP’s auxiliary function is Ne (Extraverted iNtuition), a percieving function. Ne wants to brainstorm. It sees all possible outcomes and all the options. It jumps from idea to idea, without considering if those ideas have something in common.
As for the tertiary functions, INFJ uses Ti (Introverted Thinking) and INFP uses Si (Introverted Sensing). Ti is about understanding how and why the world works. It is very logical and seeks consistency. Si is about recalling past experiences and comparing them with the present. It seeks nostalgia and comfort.
Last but not least, the INFJ uses Se (Extraverted Sensing) as their inferior function which means that under stress the INFJ avoids external stimulation because it is so into its head and it loses touch with the world around it. Also, INFJs might enjoy sensory pleasures (food, alcohol, addictions, sex) when under stress and they hate intense things such us weird smells, tastes, many colours, noises etc. The INFP uses Te (Extraverted Thinking) as its inferior function and Te wants think things through a lot, but without doing anything to make it happen. INFP under stress can also be extremely critical, harsh, overly directive, sarcastic and may be obsessed with fixing errors, correcting others, mispellings, giving orders, grammatical or vocabulary mistakes etc.
3. Absorbing and Mirroring emotions The INFJ tends to absorb emotions. This means that when someone has a problem, the INFJ won’t just listen, but they will absorb other’s emotions into their heart… They focus on other peoples’ emotions. They actually feel exactly the way you feel. Due to their aux Fe, they know what you feel. They see your feelings more objectively.
The INFP tends to mirror emotions. This means that when someone has a problem, the INFP won’t fully feel the way you do. They do imagine your pain though and they really understand your feelings, but due to their dom Fi, they feel things in a personal level only. They see your feelings more subjectively.
4. Social chameleon or different snowflake? Yes, both INFJs and INFPs seek interpersonal harmony. Yes, they both avoid conflict. Yes, they both are complex and think in a different way. However… INFJs are social chameleons. They keep everything balanced and they try to maintain harmony no matter what that means, even sacrifing personal convenience. Moreover, INFJs seem a lot more like extraverts because they need relationships and people (Fe). Many times, when in a conversation, they prefer to change their bodies’ language, tone of voice etc., in order to feel more “bonded” and comfortable with others. They may also change the way they talk, the way they move and they look like people who modify their behaviour depending on who they talk with. INFPs are different snowflakes. They do care about harmony but they will never sacrifice their individuality and internal values just to fit in. They will not be as they must, just for the sake of the greater good. INFPs advocate for staying true to yourself, even if that means ruining the atmosphere. And it’s not about being selfish, but being real and following your heart and your personal ethics only (Fi). When they love something, they’ll talk passionately about it, even if their opinions don’t suit with others’. They want to help people become their most authentic and true self.
5. Desire to be Understood or Validated? Although both types feel misunderstood, they feel it in a different way. INFJs feel marginalized. They fear that they don’t fit in and that others don’t get them in a suitable way. This is happening because while they fully understand other people well, other people rarely truly understand them, due to the complexity of their characters. INFJs do not want to change your opinion or to convince you for something. They just want you to understand what they say, what they think. They don’t ask you to adopt their beliefs, they just want to be understood.
INFPs feel similar. They fear that no one could possibly ever get them, but what they fear even more, is that someone may fully understands them. They don’t really want to be understood, because if someone understands them, it means they lost some of their individuality and now they are the same with others. INFPs want to be validated from others that their motives and intentions are good when it comes to their actions and ideas.
To sum up, both types are highly emotional intelligent, complex, sensitive, altruistic and have a lot to offer to the world. Hope now you can type yourself better and understand the things that tell them apart, in order to be a better person..
What are some good questions to ask yourself in figuring out your own type?
What am I most comfortable doing [in a dominant position]?
a) centering myself and following my ethical beliefs without fear of censorship from or offending others (Fi; IXFP)
b) detached analysis and system building my perception of the outer world (Ti; IXTP)
c) predicting future patterns, inventing personal symbolism, and having faith in my greater over-reaching vision (Ni; INXJ)
d) recalling past events with clarity and trusting that my personal experience will help me succeed through careful exploration of new concepts (Si; ISXJ)
e) getting people to work together for the greater good, sharing my feelings in ways that confront the problem or resolve issues and asserting my opinion (Fe; EXFJ)
f) taking charge in a situation as a leader when required, sharing my facts and organizing the environment to accomplish a swift resolution or goal (Te; EXTJ)
g) trusting my natural ability to innovate without warning, change my mind mid-stream, or come up with creative new interpretations of patterns and data, because I see beyond the object to what it could be (Ne; ENXP)
h) free and easy engagement with the environment, in order to challenge myself and others to better enjoy the moment and take part in affecting immediate change, without needing time to adjust to a new environment (Se; ESXP)
How do I tend to communicate my feelings?
a) as they happen and with confidence because I know both how to express myself and comfort other people (high Fe; FJ)
b) as they happen but I cannot always control it and struggle to know what to say to comfort other people (low Fe; TP)
c) sometimes through bluntness, sarcasm or by telling people off; I often have to go be alone to sort out my true feelings, before I can even start to talk about them with the few people I trust with them (high Fi; FP)
d) almost always after the fact, and I may not be sure how I feel sometimes, so I might push aside my feelings to ‘get the job done’ and have a private breakdown later where no one else can see (low Fi; TJ)
What is my worst weakness?
a) remembering details or having a solid perception of other people, and especially myself (inferior Si; ENXP)
b) interacting with the physical environment in ways that do no harm to myself or others and/or extreme laziness / lack of motivation to act (inferior Se; INXJ)
c) developing a singular worst case scenario vision for the future, and feeling trapped by it so that I cease healthy interaction with the present (inferior Ni; ESXP)
d) being afraid to let go of ‘what I know / was taught’ in favor of new ideas, and/or creating a thousand ways this will go terribly under stress (inferior Ne; ISXJ)
e) not understanding the strength of my own feelings and ethics, and becoming highly emotional and passive-aggressive under stress (inferior Fi; EXTJ)
f) throwing tantrums and losing my temper and/or wanting people to like me, even though I feel totally at a loss as to how to interact with their feelings (inferior Fe; IXTP)
g) complaining that other people are ‘irrational’ while being unable to detach from my strong feelings in order to question my own perceptions and judgments; a tendency to either over-analyze useless things or dismiss the need to understand other people in favor of judging them (inferior Ti; EXFJ)
h) becoming a drill sergeant under stress, with outbursts of bossiness, criticism, and bluntly shared truths directed at other people to shame them (inferior Te; IXFP)
I recommend focusing both on your strengths (dom) and weaknesses, as well as how you communicate with others.

ISFJ: Calm, reserved individual with a large heart and a multitude of hidden, almost shocking quirks
ESFJ: Someone who will always be smiling when you talk to them- high energy and upbeat, but blunt and a tad bit random.
ENFP: Creative thinking, smiling humans who just want everyone to be happy and have fun with the random stream of consciousness their Ne throws out
INFP: Extremely unique, precious flowers with an arsenal of strong, *liberal opinions
ENTP: Random idea people on a never ending search for truth, logic, and a good time.

*NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT OR REFERENCE- SORRY TO ANYONE WHO WAS OFFENDED
Are there ways that certain types differ in the way they act if they are depressed? Obviously everyone is different, but I was wondering.
I would say technically yes...mental illness such as depression normally mess around with your functions. It makes you loop, slip into the grip, rely too much on one function etc... So, it will vary from type to type; however, the true variations that occur within individuals with depression are not type specific, they are people specific. Type and functions mean nothing without an individual actively using them in the real world; furthermore, a person's type is simply a framework- what makes them them is what they have built off that framework, depression included.
dominant vs. inferior versions of the functions
Dom Si: it makes sense to do what has always worked Inf Si: *something is slightly abnormal* hahhA aha ahaahaahha kill me
Dom Se: let’s go for a run it will be great! look at the sky! the air in the room feels particularly nice Inf Se: drugs, sex, food, alcohol —–give it to me——
Dom Ni: look at what the future holds! Inf Ni: the end is near, there is no hope for any of us, we are all doomed to oblivion
Dom Ne: the possibilities for what we could imagine are endless! Inf Ne: okay but consider this: what if I forget to do my homework what if I fail my classes what if I don’t graduate what if I never find a job what if no one ever loves me what if satan reaches up from the depths of hell and consumes what little is left of my soul what if
Dom Fi: these are my values, they are important to me and I stand by them Inf Fi: you think I am being a little stubborn? well guess what you can shove a cactus up your ass
Dom Fe: don’t worry, I’ve got your back! I am here to support you Inf Fe: ah um erm *ahem* hm ah uh there there it’s uuh okay
Dom Ti: logic is a wonderful thing, I bet there is a lot we could do with it! Inf Ti: oh so you think that I am incorrect about this one thing?? how dare you say that how dare you doubt my knowledge what is wrong with you, no you are the one who makes no sense get out of my sight
Dom Te: we are going to get things done today *gets things done that day* Inf Te: now you see I have everything planned out and I know exactly how we are going to get this done, but, additionally, I see another possibility: we do nothing
