INFJ vs. INTJ


INFJs consider personal needs, 

whereas 

INTJs focus on efficiency.



The INFJ’s and INTJ’s differences come down to their cognitive functions. According to MBTI theory, cognitive functions are attitudes that can be expressed in either the inner world or the outer world.


In order from most dominant to least dominant, the INFJ’s cognitive functions are:
  1. Introverted Intuition (Ni)
  2. Extroverted Feeling (Fe)
  3. Introverted Thinking (Ti)
  4. Extroverted Sensing (Se)
The INTJ’s cognitive functions are:
  1. Introverted Intuition (Ni)
  2. Extroverted Thinking (Te)
  3. Introverted Feeling (Fi)
  4. Extroverted Sensing (Se)

INFJs and INTJs share the same functions, except their feeling and thinking functions are reversed. This is the root of their differences.


Fe naturally helps INFJs tune into people. Like other FJ types, they read body language, tone of voice, and emotional expressions well. Perhaps because they absorb the emotions of the people around them, they strive to keep morale high and “the feels” positive. They generally consider how their decisions will impact other people, taking into account personal needs and preferences. They ask, “How will this choice make people feel? Is there a chance it will hurt someone?”  READ MORE
