The Difference Between INFJs and INFPs

INFxs are often highly sensitive, empathetic types who enjoy introspection, privacy and daydreaming.

INFPs

• Fill the role of rebels in our society, going against norms and asking questions about what is right and wrong

INFJs

• Fill the role of leaders in our society, set a positive example for other people to follow, focused on morality and right and wrong.

• Use Introverted Feeling to go inside and make sense of their own feelings and values, find strength in self-awareness

INFJs

• Use Introverted iNtuition to detach from a situation and to understand it more theoretically/conceptually. Find strength in being able to explain things.

INFPs

• Strong Introverted Sensing users. Show consistency and character, inspire respect and have a strong duty & sense of responsibility.

INFJs

• Strong Introverted Thinking users. Deal with life scientifically and use critical thinking to improve themselves and their skill-sets.
