INFP and INFJ: The Overthinkers We start off with INFPs and INFJs: two Introverted personalities that often experience bouts of anxiety. When it comes to these types, their anxiety can stem from an inclination to overthinking.
People who overthink tend to score high in the neurotic department. Neuroticism is one of the five big personality traits, along with openness, conscientiousness, extraversion and agreeableness. It's linked to anxiety, fear, moodiness, worry, envy and frustration.
It might feel like you're the only one lying awake at night, dwelling on a decision you made earlier that day or worrying about tomorrow's to-do list. But you're not alone—research suggests 73% of 25- to 35-year-olds chronically overthink, along with 52% of people ages 45 to 55.
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.
The INTJ cognitive functions are the sharpest, as studies and their reputation show. It is prevalently known, too, the acuteness of this personality type.
ENTJ. Of all the personality types, ENTJs are arguably the ones who care least about other people's opinions of them.
Assertive Debaters (ENTP-A), Executives (ESTJ-A), and Entrepreneurs (ESTP-A) (all 95%), and Assertive Commanders (ENTJ-A) (98%) are the personality types reporting the highest confidence in their own abilities.

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.
ISTP personality types are calm, efficient and productive, and are open to new opportunities. This introduction to the ISTP personality type, based on the Myers-Briggs® Step I personality assessment, can help ISTPs to understand how they interact with others, and what careers they might enjoy.
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. Some INFJs will be cold, sarcastic and very blunt or speak to someone only on a very superficial level.
Thomas Edison.. Orville Wright.. Leonardo DaVinci.. and Albert Einstein. Arguably, the greatest overthinkers.. of all time.
People who are perfectionists tend to fall into overthinking, for example. “Perfectionists and overachievers have tendencies to overthink because of the fear of failing and the need to be perfect take over, which leads to replaying or criticizing decisions and mistakes,” says Hafeez.
To get and accurate picture you have to compare to percentages with the general population. From the numbers I found for that puts an ENTP person with 3.2% of the general population is actually almost twice as likely to have adhd, while an isfp at 8.8% would actually be less likely to have adhd.
Individuals with a Type A personality generally experience a higher stress level, hate failure, and find it difficult to stop working, even when they have achieved their goals.
Research has indicated that individuals with high emotional reactivity (high neuroticism) and introverted tendencies (low extroversion) are more likely to experience anxiety than other personality types [101].
INTP. INTPs need to relax solo, or they can't relax at all. One of the most introverted personality types throughout the Myers-Briggs system, their social life is fulfilling for short bursts, but ultimately drains them—at work, or with friends.
ESFJs win the title for the most loving personality type. They are incredibly compassionate and always put the needs of others above their own. They are natural caregivers and love to make people feel comfortable and supported.

ESTJs are the least emotional personality type. This is because they are incredibly practical, level-headed individuals who focus on facts and figures rather than feelings. They are grounded in reality and rarely let emotions take over or cloud their judgment.
Otherwise, the Se (Extroverted Sensing) types in general are going to be the most risk seeking in general, while the Si (Introverted Sensing) types are going to be the most risk averse. To sum up, The XNFJ and XNTJ types can be very risky if they calculate that it's worth it.
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.
ISTPs ranked lowest of all the 16 personality types in using social coping resources to deal with stress, according to the MBTI® Manual. They are also one of the four types in college reporting the lowest levels of assertiveness. All this may play a part in why they rank lower on self-acceptance.
"While the INTJ personality type is known for being highly intelligent, they also score high on trustworthiness, probably because they are self-aware enough to recognize the importance of trust in human relationships," Parmar explains.
