INFJs are sensitive souls who are easily overwhelmed, but they have their limits. If they feel stressed by their environment, or the people in it, they'll tend to cry or become very quiet and want to be alone.
ENFJs and ESFJs in particular are two Extraverted types who could be more prone to anxiety. Firstly, both of these personalities lead with Extraverted Feeling (Fe). Having Fe as your dominant cognitive function means it's the first mental tool you rely on to make sense of the world.
The short answer is that INFPs are the most anxious personality type, although it's a more complicated question than it seems because the experience of anxiety isn't really just one thing - it's a multidimensional vector.
1. INFP. There will be little dispute among those familiar with the 16 personality types theory that INFPs are typically the most emotionally sensitive personality types. Those with this label often have a deep sense of empathy and can be highly intuitive when understanding complex feelings.
The short answer: INFJ (Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Judgment) is the most complex Myers-Briggs Personality Type. Let's examine INFJs and why this personality type is so complicated.
According to the MBTI® Manual, ISFPs were the type most likely to get upset or angry and show it, as well as the type most likely to get upset or angry and not show it. When I asked ISFPs about this many of them said that they would simply cut off a person who repeatedly made them angry.
The ISFP. These types tend to have varying responses to anger. According to the MBTI® Manual, they are the type most likely to get angry and show it, as well as the type most likely to get angry and not show it. This goes to show that no two people of the same type are exactly alike.
The INTJ – Affirmation
INTJs often hide their vulnerable or emotional side behind a mask of stoicism.
The introverted (I) intuitive (N) types (“INs”)—INFJ, INFP, INTJ and INTP—are among the most “sensitive” of the personality types. This is especially true of those who are more turbulent than assertive.
ENFJ. ENFJs are one of the most loving personality types. They are warm, compassionate, and always looking out for the people around them.
The MBTI Personality Inventory
Being an INFJ comes with its advantages, but also its drawbacks. Lovable INFJs experience the same pain, struggles, and difficult emotions that others do—they often choose to do so in secret. This tendency may contribute to depression.
INFP. INFPs have a unique way of living their lives, and they don't appreciate you critiquing it. "They'll feel awkward when someone questions who they love, how they think, or what their goals are—whether that's starting a business, or traveling the world as a wandering nomad," Owens says.
ESTPs are sometimes referred to as Dynamo personalities because of their high-energy, active approach to life.
Meanwhile, in the Myers-Briggs system, Judgers are more prone to burnout than Perceivers. Judgers have a strongly developed sense of responsibility which pushes them to do more and more and take on more and more, as they are reluctant to say "no" even when they already have a lot on their plates.
"ESFJs have extroverted feeling as a dominant cognitive function," Gonzalez-Berrios says. "This makes them rule by their hearts. They are kind, polite, friendly, and sensitive."
ISFJs ranked as having low self-acceptance according to the CPI™ tool. This may be largely because ISFJs are known for being cautious and careful, which may come across as self-doubting at times. ISFJs are also very practical and down-to-earth, and thus may not have very lofty, idealized images of themselves.
ISFPs are quiet, reserved types who like to focus their attention on people and the experiences they enjoy. They aren't typically big talkers unless someone they're talking about something deeply important to them or they're trying to empathize verbally with someone.
ENTJ. ENTJs are perhaps the most confident of the 16 Myers and Briggs personality types. They are characterized by their self-assured, ambitious and charismatic energy and they use this to their advantage when it comes to goal-setting, career progression, relationships and more.
ENFJs may seem like they wear their hearts on their sleeves, and there's a good reason for this. Inwardly mulling over emotions is usually an exercise in futility for them because they analyze emotions that are outwardly expressed.
Statistically speaking, Assertive Virtuosos (ISTP-As), Architects (INTJ-As), and Logisticians (ISTJ-As) are the least likely to seek affection from everyone, while Turbulent Campaigners (ENFP-Ts) and Entertainers (ESFP-Ts) are the most likely.
Perhaps the most sensitive of all the personality types, INFJs take it hard when someone they trust lets them down. They tend to hold on to anger longer than they should and are capable of holding a grudge even when the other person has apologized, repeatedly, for their wrongdoing.
ISTPs are the least intense personality type. They are cool, calm, and collected individuals.
ISFJ. People who identify with the ISFJ personality type are likely ones you can confide in. ISFJs are devoted and reliable people, and according to Joseph Puglisi, CEO of Dating Iconic, their introverted, sensing, and feeling nature "makes them really good friends and partners."
ESFPs are also incredibly brave when it comes to being their authentic selves. You're not afraid to let your true personality shine, even if it means standing out from the crowd.
