Category: INFj INFp ISFp Typing
I don't know whether I am a INFj, INFp or a ISFp. Could anyone please tell me about the differences between those? -- Mina

A1 Have you tried the tests on this site and other sites? Which one comes up most regularly? There are lots of profiles that mention the characteristics of the various types. Just search them on this site and google and see which best describes you. -- Anonymous
A2 I wish I was INFJ, actually. Have I already said that? INFJ is the only other type I think I'd want to be. It would still be me, but I'd actually get something done. -- INFP

A3 I'm in the same boat as you. I honestly can't tell because I recognize myself in all three of them, with two or three characteristics that' just don't fit. -- Anonymous
A4 Three patrons were sitting at a pub when the bartender approached them and asked rather unexpectedly, "Do y'all think Hitler was an evil person?". The INFj immediately said yes and then began a diatribe about social control, apathetic parenting, and the decline of today's youth. The INFp, after a few moments pause, asked the bartender what exactly he meant by the term "evil" and then went on to suggest the inevitability of such infamous figures in the perennial dance of life. The ISFp, having politely listened to what the others had to say, asked the bartender, "Who is Hitler?" All three patrons laughed and proceeded to imbibe. -- INFp guy
A5 haha. i love 'INFp guy's response. I am INFJ. My mother is INFP, and my mother-in-law is ISFJ. I think if you were infj you would know it. all of the people I know that are infj's and have read about their type say it is ridiculously accurate. all of it. well, 94% of it. If you are infp you probably take things really personally. (sorry if thats not like you infp guy). but all the infp's i know are emotional beings. a lot of times lacking logic, just ruled by their emotions. bitter, usually. prone to addictions. poets. artists. messy. And, well, isfj is really different from an infj. wow. just two different creatures. usually the isfj sorta hims ' haws about their description only being partially like them... when it is painfully evident to the rest of the world that it is fully, and completely them. are you a parent? you should look up the book motherstyles (even if you're a dad). you can better see how your type influences your parenting - that might give you a better idea of your type. also, the book 'nurture by nature' will talk about how you were as a child. that might help, too. My guess is you're an ISFJ. I don't know too many infj's who even partially consider themselves a sensing type because they are usually very iNtuitive. even if they like crafts Also, note, my J is really weak. so, i might sometimes feel like i am a perceiving type - but the infj description is me, and the infp is really, really not. anyway... good luck! -- INFJ mom of 3
A6 A5: I tend to agree with your take on most INFp. I have an extreme Ti subtype ISTj father and my best friend is a Ti subtype INTj, so I may not quite fit the average mold! To the original poster, have you done the socionics type assistant? -- INFp guy
