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.
ISFJs are more interested in getting things done, and don't want to be held back by overthinking. They do spend a lot of time inside of their own thoughts, but ISFJs are very focused on caring for their loved ones.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. They're friendly to a fault, but they frequently find others hard to be around.
The INFP. Deep and introspective, INFPs direct most of their conscious energy to discover meaning and achieving inner harmony with their values. They are one of the most emotionally analytical personality types – having depths and complexities to their emotions that others may only briefly glimpse.
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.
The ENFP. You'll never give up because you nearly always see alternatives, possibilities, and potential in the world.
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.
The least confident personality type is INFPs. INFPs are imaginative and creative people who put their hearts into whatever they do. They trust in their own internal values, beliefs, and opinions which gives them the assurance to make decisions that align with what they believe in.
"ENTJs are highly confident and have excellent leadership skills as their dominant extroverted thinking traits make them effectiveness oriented," she says. "This personality type is also the most obviously confident of all the personality types since they are natural solution offerers who are automatically decisive."
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.
Since INFPs have the highest suicide rate, it would seem likely they also have the greatest chance of depression. Which MBTI type is the unhappiest? INFP- While they are master of their emotions. Their problems are being lonely and have hard time staying touch with friends.
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.
"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.
INTPs are detached, analytical observers who can seem oblivious to the world around them because they are so deeply absorbed in thought. They spend much of their time in their own heads: exploring concepts, making connections, and seeking understanding of how things work.
People with the ISTP personality type are often described as hard to read.
The ISFP – Being Their Own Worst Critic
ISFPs may seem easy-going at first glance, but these types actually hold themselves to very specific standards. They are drawn towards creativity and a life of meaning, but they often struggle to understand the steps needed to accomplish their goals.
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.
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: Finds a Creative Outlet
If you're an INFJ, you suppress your anger. “The Counselor” type will avoid addressing their feelings of frustration because they hate conflict, and the idea of confronting someone might break them out in hives.
For ENTJ personality types, productivity and efficiency are crucial. They hate the feeling that they're wasting time and the same goes for the people around them.
