INFJ Common Mistypes

#shorts #infj #mbti

INFJs are, allegedly, the most rare personality type. However, this doesn't mean they're immune to getting their type wrong. They are still similar to other types after all.

I think ISFJs and ISFPs can mistype as INFJs, as well...

[AlburyShaffer]

Just as giving unlimited alone time may make INFJs more aware of their introversion, I think completely stripping them of alone time against their will can also make them become more aware of how much they need it. Because they’re so social and care about not hurting others they may feel like they have to engage in these activities while also feeling selfish for needing to recharge.

As a person focused INTJ, the difference is really subtle. An INFJ will recognize emotions and react as they are happening. But people focused Ni-Te tends to set a situation up for the most positive emotional response and has prepared things to prompt that. So an INFJ is more likely to give a shoulder to cry on, a people focused INTJ is more likely to bake your favorite cake hoping that will help your mood.

This explains so much with how I settled on INFJ over ENFJ and INFP.

Enneagram 5 INFJs can be difficult to tell apart from INTJs because a lot of them (especially male ones) are at odds with expressing their emotions. I believe many celebs who're commonly typed as INTJ are actually e5 INFJ. The way to tell the difference between the two is to look in details into their preferred ways of thinking and emoting. To me, Te-Fi and Fe-Ti, when in adjacent pairs, are totally different and nuanced in their ways of thinking, resonating themes, and expressing emotions.

I've never been desperate to be an INFJ the way some people seek to be this type and use it as a title. To find the truth, I've studied cognitive functions intently because knowing how someone else operates is something that inevitably fosters empathy. I've considered that I may be INFP but I am absolutely not. The constant feeling (Fi), scattered mindedness, lack of logical reasoning and unnecessary sentimentality is wholly exhausting to me. I've considered ENFJ but there is no mistaking (for me) that I am introverted and Fe really is just a tool to me rather than something I feel the need to take responsibility for. I've considered ISFJ but I'm much too future focused and take no responsibility for Si but I do admire it to an extent. I've even considered ENTP for the stereotypical sarcasm and trolling but that is only with those very close to me and when I am online lol... INTJ was an obvious consideration but I've, unfortunately, too little respect or concern for Te. INTP was also considered because I am highly analytical and share many of the stereotypical traits of the INTP. Alas, nothing is more exactly like me than the INFJ personality type, stereotypical traits and the nuanced little things.

My ex is an INFP we are very different. I’m an INFJ. My ENFP friend was surprised to learn this because he thought I was extroverted. I can spend all day alone and not miss people. 😂 I need several hours to myself after socializing too.

When I started diving into the M-B system I had to double check on whether my type was actually INTJ or INFJ. What is interesting now is to realize my dad is the INFJ and to watch for the differences in the ways we process life. I go hard to logic when I’m not fully awake and the way I navigate other people’s emotional experiences runs through my conscious thinking. On the other hand, I know what my own emotional experience is on a deep level that I see my dad struggle to process for himself. The differences between us are subtle but striking even as we both enjoy our shared intuition and trade life hacks to handle the pesky real world

I believe I initially mistyped myself as an INFJ. That didn’t seem quite right. Now I know I’m clearly an INFP.

❤ great video. I am infj and i love my enfj boyfriend 😊 my boss is intj. We call him Mr Spock, but he can be very dramatic sometimes 😅 and my mum is infp. We are really very different.

[aaandromeda]

i'm an INFJ with 5w4 enneagram so on 16 personalities i'd always get mistyped as an INTP

[chesscrater]

experts in this stuff i just hear infj estp itja wha

[PriHL]

In my view INFJ and INTJ are very different with their Te and Fe blindspots. Spoke recently with an INTJ who's not bad on Fi but they were still talking about logic being the most important in a social situation, it's their default Te way of thinking paired with the Fe blindspot. They also don't understand why I focus so much on the relational aspect. But that's just the way they are and it's just a different approach. But it's too significantly different to make an easy mistype with INFJs.

I thought I was one ever since I came into the mbti community but it turns out I was two letters off(I’m actually an isfp!)

[Partor]

I think ENFP is also one of these, but probably for the same reason as INFP

[christineherrmann]

Hey! I'm in this meme and I don't mind it. Though I'm still not 💯 whether I'm ENFJ or INFJ.

[shashwatsri_]

Whenever I took the mbti test it always fall in between INFJ and INFP like 48% P and 52% J or visa versa
It always confuse me like weather Im INFJ or INFP becoz I relate with both INFJ and INFP like idk how to explain this :/

And that's why you can't label a human under categories and groups because every person has a different history, lives in a different environment, and acts differently based on personal and aquired experiences and knowledge. We are all unique in some way!
