This article gets into some of the actual differences between INFJ and INFP as Particular Melancholic and Particular Phlegmatic types respectively. They are both of the class of NF temperaments, which I class as General Melancholics. I relate this General Melancholic class to the Romantic movement that had its ascendancy in the 1800s. INFJ and […]
INFJ vs. INFP Revisited
I’m going to stop beating around the bush here. I like to keep things as simple as possible. The INFJ and INFP types are so often confused with each other that I felt compelled to once and for all state what the primary categorical difference is between them, at least, by my lights. In order […]
INFP: Got Se Minimums?
This article is about the INFP’s superego function of Se (extraverted sensation) and how it is necessary for an INFP to use it in a minimum fashion to buttress the maximal operation of Ne in the auxiliary (All in an Fi context of course). I touch on the inferior function as compared to the superego […]
INFP with Continual Reference to INFJ
In this article I discuss the implications of INFPs Ni id, their Fi dominant, and much of the solution that lies in their Ne auxiliary. I compare INFP’s predominant themes to INFJ’s overriding themes to give a feel for the difference between these two types that are often mistaken for each other. Keep in mind […]
ENFP vs INFP with Continual Reference to Stephen Colbert
Since last article on Colbert not being an INFP I have received some comments that have compelled me to concede to ENFP rather than my ENTP designation. Why? – Ne dominance is still there, just the aux. Ti I was claiming may be in error. – Now that I think about it, ENFPs can resemble […]
Stephen Colbert = INFP = STFU
I don’t know what is going on in the MBTI test-administering world, but, Stephen Colbert getting a result of INFP as a personality type is absurd. First of all, I don’t need the MBTI to tell me what someone’s type is. Did Jung use the MBTI? Secondly, it is so obvious that Stephen Colbert is […]
Why INFP is Taken for Granted (and how to change this)
One of my readers commented on my INFJ vs. INFP article and asked how INFPs can stop other people from taking them for granted. This article is written in response to that question. Why are INFPs taken for granted? This has to do with their Fi combined with their Ne auxiliary function. Both functions deal […]
INFJ vs. INFP
This article is being written in response to one of my reader questions. They are having trouble figuring out if they are an INFJ or INFP. It is common for people to be confused between these two types, and most of this confusion is caused by the convention of the Myers-Briggs type indicator for assigning […]
