INFJ is regarded as the most sensitive personality type. Some estimates suggest that 80 to 90% of people who test as INFJs also test as highly sensitive people, because the traits of the two overlap so much.
Most HSPs are either INFJs or INFPs — the ones that don't tend to be ENFJs or ENFPs. Whether you're one or both, it's important to know what stresses you, what overstimulates you and what makes you feel calm, relaxed and happy.
Defining the HSP Personality
A highly sensitive person is wired to respond quickly and strongly to everything that is going on around them. Their five senses are heightened, and they often display exceptional emotional sensitivity.
INFPs and ISFPs are often the most emotional. They both feel their emotions deeply and are open about expressing them with others. They can be highly sensitive and have a strong sense of empathy for the world around them. INFPs and ISFPs also tend to be more open-minded when it comes to taking in information.
Additionally, immature ISFPs may become highly sensitive to criticism and take everything personally. Instead of balancing their feeling and thinking sides, these ISFPs tend to believe that whatever they feel is the ultimate truth.
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.
INTJs often hide their vulnerable or emotional side behind a mask of stoicism. They are the types to let their behavior speak for them, rather than put their feelings into words.
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.
INFJ personality types are known for being chameleons. Part of this is our strong extraverted feeling function, which allows us to immediately pick up on the emotions and moods of others, and then mirror their emotional state back to them.
INFP. INFPs are on a lifelong quest for meaning and inner serenity. They are driven by deeply-felt personal values and are passionately committed to them.
INFJ personalities are often seen as those quiet, sensitive types who are easily upset and seem to take everything personally.
ESFJ. Those who are extroverted, sensing, feeling, and judging are often identified as one of the kindest types by experts.
ESFJ: insecure
Most see ESFJs as social butterflies and the life of the party. While they do love to be around people, they also want to feel accepted. Even though they're typically gregarious and assertive, their lesser-known personal qualities include being perceptive and deeply insecure.
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.
ISTP. ISTPs get embarrassed when they react emotionally to situations or people.
The INFP may be the toughest personality type of all for others to understand. They are seemingly easy-going and carefree, but when it comes to their values, they can become suddenly uncompromising.
Type D personality is associated with social anxiety in 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.
"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.
INTJ. INTJs are very unlikely to be jealous of another person, whether that be close relationships or not. They don't want to make others feel caged or controlled and wish for the same respect in return. They are confident in their own strengths and do not see any reason for being jealous of others.
On the affirmative empathy scale, I would say INTJs are the least empathetic, while INFJ, ENFJ being the most empathetic (because of the Ni-Fe, Fe-Ni axis). On the cognitive empathy scale, I would say INFP, ExFP are the least empathetic, while INFJ, INTJ, ENTJ being the most empathetic.
Emotionally detached: ISTPs are not well attuned to the emotional states of others, and they can sometimes be seen as cold, unfeeling, or insensitive. They also distance themselves from their own emotions, ignoring their feelings until they become overwhelming.
"ESFJs are social creatures with a lot of love for routine. They tend to be sensitive and feel most awkward when they think they are the butt of someone's joke or are not having their feelings in a friendship or relationship reciprocated," says Owens.
ESFP: Afraid others view them as emotionally shallow
ESFPs are often written off as shallow and uninterested in going deep with their feelings. They tend to move quickly and can be impulsive at times, and their emotional expression can be viewed as dramatic.
