Cognitive Processes

are INTP and INFJ similar? I always get stuck within those and I just find it weird that I don't fit into the most common confused types with INFJ's which are INFP,INTJ,ENFJ etc.

TDHD, you could just be a hybrid type. The one thing I can see for certain is that you are some kind of NJ varient. That alone will explain alot about you, because it allows you to bounce between four types depending on what you need: INFJ, INTJ, ENFJ, and ENTJ. Really, this just means you are pretty well developed for your age already. The most common type (on this forum that I have seen) as far as varients go is the NF varient, where people can bounce between those four types. My varient type is IJ, I can bounce between those four types when I need to. Cognitive function results are usually the best tell tale sign for this. Interestingly though, we all seem to have our primary mode set as INFJ for us varients. I think this is just the nature of how an INFJ works.

Again Racoon, you are still rather young, and your type is going to evolve A LOT more as you grow older. You might not fit into the classical "mistypes" for an INFJ, but that doesn't mean much. I can easily fit into ISFJ and ISTJ if I need to, and I don't know anyone else on the forum that does that. Just because you don't fit a pattern doesn't mean something is wrong.

To answer your question directly though, INTP and INFJ's are wildly different.

Hmm, it's funny. The very nature of MBTI profiling kind of gets us thinking we have to be either one or the other and that it's not possible to straddle two, three, or even four different types... but when you really peer closer at the theory, that actually would make sense.

Variant is the only way to describe it, me thinks. I've always been kind of an odd banana when it comes to typing.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Ditto. Raccoon, do you have a less recent CF test we can look at for comparison?

NVM. Raccoon, based on past test results, I would definitely put you in as an INFJ.You just have a strong Ti, like moi Drives you crazy, don't it?

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INFJ

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Intuiting (Ni): Transforming with a meta-perspective. Withdrawing from the world and focusing your mind to receive an insight or realization. Checking if synergy results. Trying out a realization to transform things.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Building trust through giving relationships. Empathically responding to others' needs and take on their needs and values as your own. Checking for respect and trust. Giving and receiving support to grow closer to people.

​

If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENFJ, or INTJ

By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INTP

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Thinking (Ti): Gaining leverage (influence) using a framework. Detaching to study a situation from different angles and fit it to a theory, framework or principle. Checking for accuracy. Using leverage to solve the problem.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Intuiting (Ne): Exploring the emerging patterns. Wondering about patterns of interaction across various situations. Checking what hypotheses and meanings fit best. Trusting what emerges as you shift a situation’s dynamics.

You seem to have the same problem I do, Raccoon.

Your Cognitive Development Profile
The forty-eight questions you rated earlier tap into the eight cognitive processes. Some questions tapped into basic or developed use of a process used by itself, while other questions tapped into use of multiple processes at once. The profile below is based on your responses. The number of squares indicate strength of response. The equivalent numeric is shown in parentheses along with likely level of development.

Wow, your Fe is high.

Wow, your Fe is high.

So I noticed.

Lol, it just is. I actually quite like Si, and it is very very useful to me. For the longest time I didn't want to admit I used Si, but eventually I came to terms with it.

Very interesting fly_away maybe you are an ENFJ.

 

[bs98r3kjf]

Very interesting fly_away maybe you are an ENFJ.

i don't know raccoon, maybe, i feel like an extrovert sometimes and people think i'm an extrovert sometimes but i think i'm an introvert, maybe i'm an ambivert...

yeah its not always accurate, maybe you are intp, you know, sometimes the t/f part is not all that easy to distinguish...
