Can INTPs be mistyped as INFP?
A severely stressed INTP may lash out and wallow in floods of emotion—which could lead them to mistype as an INFP. Or, they can become rigid and stubborn in their views to mistype as an INTJ.
What are INTPs often mistyped as?
INTPs can often be mistyped as ENTPs, or vice versa, since they both share the same functions just in a slightly different order. It can be challenging to really differentiate between the two, since they share so many similarities and very few differences.
Are INFPs often mistyped?
INFPs are frequently mistyped as quite a few other personality types, and so it is truly important to understand how their functions work and how they respond to the world around them.
Why are INTPs often mistyped?
INTPs are often mistyped and confused for other types, some more commonly than others. INTPs are more likely to be mistyped as ISTPs, INTJs, ENTPs and occasionally INFPs. While some of these make more sense than others, it seems that they occur because of a major lack of understanding towards the types and what makes them the way they are.
Do INFPs mistype themselves?
It’s quite common for people with the INFP personality to mistype themselves, especially when taking a personality assessment for the first time or reading basic descriptions of the personality types without understanding the functions. When I first took the official MBTI assessment, I was mistyped as an INTJ.
What is the difference between INFPs and INTPs?
The main difference between INFPs and INTPs is that INTPs have a dominant Introverted Thinking (Ti); they are primarily concerned with making sense of the world, within a logical framework such as understanding how a computer works.
Are INTPs and intjs the same thing?
INTPs may also mistype as INTJs (Ni-Te-Fi-Se) and vice versa, but these two types are quite different.
