Since INFJs and ENFJs share the same functions, it’s reasonable to conclude that INFJs who near the extroverted side of the scale may mistype as ENFJs. If you strongly identify as an introvert, it’s unlikely that you will mistype as an extroverted personality type. However, those who identify with both introverted and extroverted personality traits, also known as ambiverts, may have a hard time deciding if the INFJ or ENFJ description fits them…
Although INFJs more frequently mistype as INFPs or INTJs, it’s not entirely uncommon for an INFJ to mistype as an ISFJ. This mistyping makes sense. ISFJs have Extroverted Feeling as their auxiliary function and Introverted Thinking as their tertiary function, the same as INFJs. ISFJs make up anywhere from 9-14 percent of the population, so INFJs who are focused on trying to fit in with the status quo or who grew up in…
INFJ and INFP personality types have quite a bit in common and it can be hard to distinguish between the two. Since both types are introverted idealists, it’s easy for INFJs to relate to the INFP personality description, and for INFPs to relate to the INFJ personality description. However, while these types are similar as far as preferences go (both INFs), they’re completely different when it comes to functions. Are you an…
Are you wondering if you’re an INFJ or INTJ? People get inaccurate results on the MBTI often, especially if they’ve only taken free online tests.

Within the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types, eight types are Judgers and eight types are Perceivers. Judger personality types like order, plans, and organization, while Perceiver personality types prefer to remain flexible, adaptable, and spontaneous. If these types don’t try to understand each other, the J and P differences can cause several issues at work, in school, and within relationships. Judging Vs. Perceiving Personality Types It’s pretty easy to tell the…
The function that distinguishes INFJs most from our Ni-dom partner, the INTJ, is our Extraverted Feeling function, or Fe. The Extraverted Feeling INFJ description is different from how other types use Fe due to where it falls in the INFJ function stack. Fe is our auxiliary, or secondary, function. The below table shows the cognitive function stack for the INFJ. You can read more about INFJ cognitive functions here. Dominant Auxiliary Tertiary Inferior INFJ…
Introverted Thinking (Ti) is the fascinating and frustrating tertiary function of the INFJ. Introverted thinking makes decisions based on theories and data processed internally…
