Being the rarest of the 16 personality types,

ironically INFJs seem to undoubtedly be the

most talked about and researched personality

Yet, still with an odd fascination from the

world, there are a few common misconceptions

that have been thrown in the mix of available

Stereotype Number 1: INFJs are sensitive snowflakes

Known for their naturally kind and compassionate

manner, the INFJ personality type can often

be mistaken as overly sensitive because of

the stereotypical emphasis on their extroverted

With such a focus on how the INFJ relates

to the outer world, people seem to forget

In fact, one of the key factors of the INFJ

personality that seems to be largely ignored

by the MBTI community is that they run on

their most dominant function of intuition

before their secondary function as feelers

Everything they do comes from an intuitive

place, and in that place, emotions aren’t

function is extraverted feeling, they tend

to gravitate towards analyzing outer emotions

In other words, INFJs have a tendency to focus

on understanding background processes, deciphering

future outcomes and observing patterns of

other people’s emotions rather than dwelling

Sure, they may feel overwhelmed by excessive

surrounding energies and stimuli, but they

have a sense of composure that overwrites

And because of that, INFJs tend to actually

hold a deeper level of emotional understanding

compared to other personality types, which

Speaking of their introverted and extraverted

for extroverts in particular social situations

due to their understanding of other people’s

With the ability to blend in with any crowd,

most people don't know that it’s basically

If an INFJ were to truly act like themselves

in a crowd of people, they would automatically

seem secretive and reserved due to their need

for constant observation and mental processing.

Luckily, this is why the INFJ is often referred

to as the social chameleon of the MBTI, easily

blending in with a variety of social scenarios

Yet, not always totally enjoying themselves

With their most dominant function requiring

them to take serious amounts of alone time,

this introverted personality type much prefers

Therefore, they take certain measures to not

act like a mysterious maniac, and with years

of practice, they can play the role of a well-seasoned

However, unlike extraverted traits of becoming

more energized in the presence of other people,

Therefore, this introverted type prefers to

be alone or with their most trusted people,

At least that’s not the case for every person

With a mystical essence surrounding their

introverted intuitive gifts, the INFJ can

easily be misconstrued for having seemingly

that strong intuition can definitely bring

about some truly accurate future projections,

yet the term psychic may be blowing things

In fact, this incredible future-projecting

ability all has to do with their incredible

pattern-recognition and observing skills that

go on in the background of their conscious

Using their inferior function of extraverted

sensing, this analytical personality type

subconsciously gathers copious amounts of

This makes them highly aware of seemingly

unnoticeable details and actions going on

The INFJ’s dominant intuition then synthesizes

this collected information in hopes of finding

hidden insights, patterns and possible future

outcomes; usually resulting in some sort of

revelation or epiphany moment that seems out

Although this process happens against an INFJ’s

will and mostly with little conscious effort

(much like psychic insights would) this powerful

function is actually more psychologically

technical than it is of a spiritual matter..

Stereotype Number 4: INFJs know people better

A good conversation with the INFJ counselor

type can give others the level of comfort

and understanding that makes them feel like

they’ve never been more understood in life.

Yes, INFJs are able to gain a clearer predictive

analysis of how certain steps can lead someone

With deep insights into the human psyche,

human emotions and interactive behaviors,

INFJs may very well understand other people

But never more than the person understands

And that’s where things get a little sticky.

No matter how much the INFJ analyzes someone,

feels their emotions and puts themselves in

their shoes, they will never know what it’s

like to live inside another person’s mind.

With their ability to see the best in everyone,

they may even be able to show people perspectives

But this doesn’t always mean they know the

past experiences, struggles, and lessons of

They are still only able to give advice and

suggestions from their own understanding and

through the filter in which they see life

- therefore, nobody knows anyone more than

Stereotype Number 5: INFJs are always fixated

Perfectionistic and organized, the INFJ personality

type may seem uptight about the nitty gritty

However, that's actually not always the case.

In fact, INFJs have a tendency to look at

Anything that doesn’t pertain to the patterns

of behavior or the bigger picture may be subconsciously

noted, but never taken any conscious effort

In other words, their introverted intuition

and extraverted sensing may cause them to

subconsciously absorb and process minor details,

but INFJs don’t actively fixate on the impertinent

Instead, this personality type is much more

focused on the overall impression of the atmosphere

around them, only voluntarily diving into

details when trying to collect more information

for their introverted intuition to cipher

Yet, the INFJ only begins to consciously look

for details when there seems to be missing

pieces to the intuitive puzzle they’re attempting

As a matter of fact, too many details can

actually easily overwhelm this personality

type, causing them to use their functions

in an uncharacterized manner to navigate through

the overload of information and potentiality

Instead, remaining distanced enough to where

they can utilize their birds-eye-view while

maintaining their deeper understanding is

Stereotype Number 6: They’re relationship

Distance, solitude, daydreaming, unrealistic

expectations, door slams, and the list goes

If someone were to briefly read up on the

INFJ relationship, they would quickly run

In reality, however, these stereotypical traits

this seemingly closed-off personality type

that they only reserve for the most deserving.

15 Common Entp Struggles In Life (It'S Not Easy)

15 Common Entp Struggles In Life (It'S Not Easy) explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

With such a big focus surrounding the everyday

struggles that introverted personality types face

clear of all social struggles. Well, sorry to

burst your extroverted ENTP bubble PSYCH-Os,

but today we’re here to talk all about the 15

common struggles that all ENTPs can relate to.

But before we get into it, have you liked

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

Number 1: Talking.. And talking, and talking

If there’s one thing that really sets the ENTP

apart from the rest of the 16 personality types

the debater's personality type, at times the

ENTP doesn't even realize when they’re talking

someone’s ear off, or when the other person has

checked out and is no longer interested in their

rant. As long as there's someone there to listen,

ENTPs will talk. So, in other words, sometimes

they can come off as being slightly annoying,

especially when they’re challenged to defend their

view. However, this isn’t as much of a struggle

for the ENTP as it is for the people around them.

Maybe if ENTPs weren’t so busy talking, they’d

find some time to get around to their obligations!

All jokes aside, this ambitious personality type

can definitely struggle with putting the pedal to

the metal when it comes to executing the elaborate

ideas they’re able to easily formulate in their

abilities to think up solutions and ideas for

new projects. This hesitancy to take full-force

action means sometimes they never even get

around to playing out their greatest ideas.

Another reason ENTPS are so familiar with the

struggle of procrastination is because of their

strong discomfort surrounding rigid structures

and tasks. This personality type requires true

flexibility to use their creative thinking skills

and wealth of knowledge, leaving anything

that requires a series of tedious structured

tasks almost unbearable for long periods of time.

Number 4: Natural charm being mistaken as flirting

Witty and charismatic, the ENTP holds an essence

of attraction that easily stands out of the crowd.

or romantic interest in times where it is

certainly not intended. As humours as it sounds,

this quick thinking cleverness can definitely

There’s no doubt that ENTPs have a wealth

of knowledge that they’re constantly improving and

expanding, but does that really make them superior

to others? Well, in an ENTPs eyes, sometimes

they can’t help but to notice the oblivion

in some people they converse with. Especially

because this debater type loves to poke and prod

at people’s viewpoints, they tend to notice what

they see as a lack of knowledge. When in reality,

the topics the ENTP feels superior in probably

don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

ENTPs lack the knowledge to make well-educated

decisions, in fact it’s quite the opposite.

This clever type has the natural tendency to see

things from all angles, calculating all possible

future outcomes of the decisions they make and

the actions they take before going forward.

With so many options to choose from, this

yet they’re not the type to make a move on a

wim. And it's not only for big life decisions

Number 7: Loneliness can feel really lonely

For this extroverted type, socializing is a

source of energy and fuel - and without it,

Unlike some introverted types the extroverted ENTP

needs people around to truly feel like themselves,

making periods of isolation almost unbearable.

This is one of the main reasons ENTPs are such

There’s no doubt that ENTPs have a wealth of

knowledge that they’re constantly improving and

expanding, but does that really make them superior

to others? Well, in an ENTPs eyes, sometimes they

can’t help but to notice the oblivion in some

people they converse with. Especially because

this debater type loves to poke and prod at

people’s viewpoints, they tend to notice what

they see as a lack of knowledge. When in reality,

the topics the ENTP feels superior in probably

don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Number 9: Choosing truth over sparing feelings

Known for their seemingly insensitive nature,

ENTPs aren’t as heartless as they’re cut out to

be. In fact the refreshing transparency of the

ENTPs rationality comes from a place of love

and wanting the best for others. For example,

if someone asked an ENTP for their opinion on

a new hairstyle, the ENTP wouldn’t see a point

in lying in hopes of making the person feel good,

structure, this creative quick-thinker needs

So, they may find themselves jumping from one

task or hobby to the next, losing interest as

soon things become too familiar or once they

find something new to pour their focus into.

Number 11: Lots of plans with little action

always looking for ways to expand their knowledge

and experience of the world around them. They can

sit and ponder about future life goals with sheer

accuracy and passion, including every detail of

what they would like to experience or accomplish

in the coming weeks, months or even years.

However, when it comes to putting those long

term goals into action and sticking with it to

completion - there’s no promise that everything

will get accomplished. It’s not to say that

ENTPs aren’t capable of accomplishing their

desires, but maybe not the 100+ item bucket

ENTPs want to be right, and with the amount of

time and effort they put into broadening their

intelligence, they have the right to be right. But

what happens when an ENTP is faced with defeat?

A sore loser is born. And so, this superior

type may just do everything in their power

to ensure they win on some level.. Even if it

means changing the narrative of the situation.

This is why ENTPs favour concrete facts when

debating their knowledge - they need to know

they are correct with proof to back them up.

Number 13: They tend to favor higher-valued people

Now, this ENTP struggle isn’t really a problem

in their eyes but it can definitely cause them

to miss out on some great connections. In

fact, because ENTPs can sometimes tend to

judge a book by it’s cover, they can easily

overlook people that they may be compatible

with. Using the INFJ as an example; said to be

one of the most compatible matches for this type,

can cause them to easily go unnoticed and

but deep down they have a soft spot that only

their closest companions are able to access.

They are able to let down their guard and show

their deep emotional side, yet the struggle

comes into play when considering that most ENTPs

actually need the help of another person to access

this aspect of themselves. This emotional nature

doesn't come naturally, it needs to be awakened.

life and their need to also work with the

For example, they may feel dulled down in a

structured 9-5 job, yet they need to pay for

their adventurous lifestyle. Yet, once the ENTP

finds a proper balance in the world around them,

they are able to exceed their expectations

of adventure and experience in their lives.

Well, that’s it for today PSYCH-Os.. So, are you

an ENTP? And If so, do you relate to these 15

common struggles? Let us know in the comments

There’s rarely a time in any INFJ’s day where

there are no questions being asked or thoughts

being thinked within their inner minds. With

Alright, let’s jump right into it starting with..

With such a deep understanding of the inner

workings of this world and the human emotions

that run it, some would say the INFJ would be

considered rather mentally equipped to maintain

their happiness. However, with introverted

intuition and extroverted feeling as their two

most dominant functions, the INFJ can have trouble

recognizing how they’re feeling and why. And so,

not only do they ask themselves why they’re not

happy but also if they’re happy, and even what

“Am I sure I’m making the right decision?” “Am I

sure I like this person?” “Am I sure I want to do

this for the rest of my life?”.. It’s not that

INFJ’s are necessarily known for being unsure,

however, for this complex-minded type, no decision

is simple. INFJ’s are always weighing out the pros

and cons, right down to the very last second. And

even when they’re given the time they need to come

to a conclusion, they’ll never not wonder what

would’ve happened if they chose the other option.

misunderstood by most people, INFJs tend to

catch themselves wondering “Why am I like this?”

Whether they’re having trouble fitting in or

they couldn’t quite get out what they were

type questions their actions and behavior

it may be a part of a bigger picture. One that

is often caused by their overthinking nature.

For an INFJ in any type of social function,

questioning “When is it appropriate to leave

without seeming rude?” or looking around the

room to see if anyone else has left is all part

of the process. Introverted with a quick-draining

social battery life, INFJs begin thinking these

thoughts before even arriving at the social event.

time to leave a job, living space, or relationship

by asking the very same questions. “When can I

leave without hurting anyone’s feelings?” Or “Will

there ever be a right time?” are all very familiar

whether or not it’s time to move on they’ll

always ask themselves if it’s really worth

throwing in the towel. Of course, that sounds like

a normal question anyone would ask before making

a big life decision. However, in the case of the

INFJ, as soon as they catch themselves questioning

something once, they’ll never be able to shake

it without doing something about the situation.

Whether they decide to follow through with let’s

say, a door slam, it may take weeks or months of

observing this very question from all angles

before making even the slightest movement.

Speaking of surrendering to the idea that

sometimes things don’t work out as planned,

there's no leaving a situation without the INFJ

first asking themselves if they’ve put in all

the necessary work possible. They’re not the

personality type to look at others for fault

or to point the finger. In fact, INFJ look to

themselves to blame sometimes to the point of

unnecessarily harsh self-critiquing. And because

this ambitious type is confident that they could

probably do anything they put their minds to,

sometimes when their best isn’t good enough

INFJs are not only hard on themselves, but

they also have a deep longing to fulfill their

purpose in life. With unique characteristics,

extreme empathy and the inner craving for human

interaction, most INFJs feel like there is

something they’re called to do in this life.

However, finding what that thing is is often

Not only do they question if they’ll ever find

their purpose, but going back to the previous

question, INFJs may ask themselves whether or not

they’re actually trying their best to find their

calling. And once it becomes a personal mission

to that extent, the mission to find their purpose

in life can become both extremely motivating

and seriously debilitating at the same time.

It’s not easy to enjoy life if you’re always

wondering why you’re here in the first place.

On the topic of wondering why we’re all here

in this earthly realm, the INFJ doesn’t only

question what their mission is here on earth,

but from a more philosophical standpoint, what

is the bigger meaning behind it all. The classic

INFJ larger-picture thinking comes into play even

in the grandest picture of all…the meaning behind

everything we know to be. Not only do they

question what is the meaning of life, but also

what is the meaning of death, why is there so

much violence in the world, what is the meaning

of love, why is their disease in the world, is

there a higher power, and every other question

that may lead them closer to understanding

these otherwise accepted aspects of life.

philosophical conversation topics, sometimes they

leave a moment of social banter wondering why the

heck they brought any of the taboo subject matter

they did. Known for having an easier time writing

things out than they do verbally explaining their

elaborate understandings and beliefs, INFJs may

not communicate the things they actually enjoy

talking about in the best way. This can either

lead to serious confusion, judgment or disinterest

unnecessary INFJ self-criticizing despite

nobody else noticing their slip up. So, luckily,

if an INFJ walks away thinking “Why on earth did I

have to say that or bring that up?” it’s probably

not as big of a deal as they think it is.

sometimes in the most unique ways. Not only

does this quality give them the rewarding

feeling their empathetic side craves, but it also

gives the INFJ the personal satisfaction because

there's nothing more logically satisfying

Sometimes, however, INFJs use this simple question

as means of being too kind for their own good.

Not everyone wants help, and not everyone

Family functions, blind dates, work parties..

You name it. If the INFJ is invited, you can be

sure one of the first questions they’re going

of course. In fact, the INFJ brain will then begin

the process of analysis in terms of necessity,

importance, and interest. Before making any

promises, they’ll not only weigh out each

pro and con, but also mentally play out a couple

potential outcomes. Some related questions would

be, “Will I be the only one not there that

makes it too obvious if I don’t attend?”,

when it comes to the INFJ and social outings,

Overly reserved and arguably secretive, one of the

INFJ’s biggest fears when socializing with others

is slipping into the trance of oversharing.

Whether they actually end up taking the leap

to attend a social gathering or they get caught up

in spontaneous banter, it’s not uncommon for INFJs

to ask themselves whether or not they overshared.

Usually, this private introvert doesn’t notice it

when they feel compelled to share in the moment -

and most of the time it’s only to make the other

person feel more comfortable. However, similar to

their “Why did I say that?” question, luckily the

INFJ’s standards of oversharing are usually

much more strict compared to other people’s.

Number 13: “Was I born in the wrong era?”

some INFJ’s may have questioned whether or not

they were born into the wrong era. Of course, on

a logical scale humans are born when they’re meant

to be born. However, sometimes looking at things

like old school video tapes of iphone-less social

settings or maybe listening to live rock and roll

can transport the imaginative INFJ to a seemingly

simpler time that they feel they can relate to.
