For women, however, the rarest personality type is INTJ and
Advocates (INFJs) may be the rarest personality type of all, but they certainly leave their mark on the world. Idealistic and principled, they aren't content to coast through life – they want to stand up and make a difference.
Women who identify with the INTJ personality type are typically independent, confident and happy alone. They are goal-oriented and are constantly working on personal and professional projects. But in a group, they tend to navigate the territory differently from other women.
INTJs and INFJs are so rare because of their (our) dominant perceiving function, introverted intuition. INFJs are in ~1.5 percent of population, while INTJs are in ~2.1 percent of the population. This function is an enigmatic and mysterious function to the world and many people struggle with understanding.
The third most rare Myers-Briggs personality type is INTJ
People who prefer INTJ make up 2.1% of the population. Among men, this type is a little more common with 3.3% of the population. Women, however, only make up 0.8% of the population for INTJs.
The most rare Personality Types are INFJ, followed by ENTJ and INTJ.
If you happened to fall into the INFJ personality type, you're a rare breed; only 1.5 percent of the general population fits into that category, making it the rarest personality type in the world.
The INTJ – Forced Small Talk
They enjoy having deep conversations about ideas, theories, and possibilities. Forced small talk is a turn-off for INTJs because it feels like a waste of time.
As a matter of fact, both INFJ and INTJ are among the personalities with the highest IQ scores. The difference between them is that INFJs are more emotional people, while INTJs tend to be more practical. Thus, whether INFJs are smarter than INTJs depends on the specific individuals and the environment they're in.
“INTJ is the rarest personality type for women.” In fact, at about 0.5 percent of the population, INTJ women might be the rarest of any gender/type combination (perhaps only rivaled by INFJ men).
INTJs are unique individuals, and it can be challenging to date them. It is especially true if the relationship is starting or someone who can't easily compromise or adapt to their lifestyle and habits.
The INTJ stare is the intense gaze of someone who has the personality type INTJ. They may be so focused on their own thoughts that they don't realize that they're looking at you—which can be disconcerting. This type of person loves to think, analyze, and observe their environment.
ENFJs are the second-rarest personality type, making up only 2.2% of the population. These insightful, compelling types tend to know just the right buttons to push to motivate people towards their goals. Because they are so passionate and understanding, ENFJs have a gift for motivating people towards personal growth.
Some possible explanations for the relative rarity of INFJs may be due to the fact that we're just not in situations where the test is offered, or maybe we don't want to take the test, says Dr. Carla Stebbins, a New-York based certified MBTI practitioner who works in higher education.
Sadly, INFPs ranked the lowest for happiness as well as the lowest for life-satisfaction.
The intellectual INTJ will avoid taking their anger out on others. Rather, they'll internalize the emotion before finding something else to focus on to divert their attention. For example, an INTJ might ignore their anger and try exercise, research, hobbies, or even sleep to deal with it in a rational way.
What makes INTJ's sad? Realizing that the moment the walls go down, respect is also gone. We are often told we keep people at a distance and we're reserved and difficult to get to know but the sad truth is, people respect us more when we're like that.
INTJs are deeply afraid of failing to meet their potential.
INTJs are also afraid of situations that will keep them from their goals. INTJs hold themselves to exceptionally high standards, so they perceive setbacks as personal failures or signs of incompetence. INTJs also tend to be highly ambitious.
ISTP - Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, And Perceiving
People with the ISTP personality type are often described as hard to read.
INFJs are sensitive souls who are easily overwhelmed, but they have their limits. If they feel stressed by their environment, or the people in it, they'll tend to cry or become very quiet and want to be alone. Some INFJs will be cold, sarcastic and very blunt or speak to someone only on a very superficial level.
INFPs have Fi as their dominant function and they're also the most common mistype for INFJs. If both Sign 1 and Sign 5 are true for you, then INFP is probably a better fit for you than INFJ.
Those who are extroverted, sensing, feeling, and judging are often identified as one of the kindest types by experts. "ESFJs have extroverted feeling as a dominant cognitive function," Gonzalez-Berrios says. "This makes them rule by their hearts. They are kind, polite, friendly, and sensitive."
