ISTJ. ISTJs often have excellent memories, since they have a knack for recalling details. Once the ISTJ attempts to absorb information they will be very skilled at retaining it for a long time. ISTJs have incredible memories most of the time, especially for details they have learned in the past.
The ESFJ Learning Style
They are usually very hard-working and responsible in their studies, and are quick to pick up and memorize facts. They are careful note-takers, but they are also observant “shepherds” who look around to make sure everyone in the class feels accepted and included.
Introverted iNtuitives (INFJ, INTJ, INFP, and INTP).
Si (Introverted Sensing) dominant personality types are the most likely types to possess photographic memory. So the highest probability of any MBTI personality to have photographic memory would be ISTJ and ISFJ, as both have Si as their dominant cognitive function.
According to Comen, both INTJs and INTPs are among the smartest, adding that thinking is actually "the primary life goal" for INTPs, as opposed to the key tool. These people are most likely to be engineers and mathematicians, Robledo says.
ESFP personality types sometimes have trouble meeting deadlines, and do not always finish what they start. They can get easily distracted.
Which MBTI is best at learning? According to the MBTI® Manual, ESFJs are the most frequent type among education majors and the highest in college retention. In a survey I conducted about type and education preferences, ESFJs chose public school as their preferred environment for learning.
INTJs are typically very quiet and reserved unless they happen to meet someone who, like them, loves exploring theoretical concepts, analyzing possibilities, and dreaming up long-term goals. That said, they're not typically very verbal when it comes to discussing their feelings or people's personal lives.
Introverted Feeling (Fi), by contrast, is an intrapersonal function. Whenever possible, it prefers to handle emotional issues inwardly and independently. This is why ISFPs, who use Fi as their dominant function, are among the least talkative of all types.
They're probably ISFJs, who feel super uncomfortable with the prospect of hurting anyone's feelings. "They tend to be wallflowers and can sometimes stumble over their words," says Owens. They'll likely skip the inflammatory family dinner conversation—even if they're Zooming in from thousands of miles away.
The ENTP. ENTPs are usually seen as energetic, curious, and spontaneous.
INFP and INFJ: The Overthinkers
We start off with INFPs and INFJs: two Introverted personalities that often experience bouts of anxiety. When it comes to these types, their anxiety can stem from an inclination to overthinking.
The most commonly mentioned personality type found among the gifted was INFP.
Assertive Debaters (ENTP-A), Executives (ESTJ-A), and Entrepreneurs (ESTP-A) (all 95%), and Assertive Commanders (ENTJ-A) (98%) are the personality types reporting the highest confidence in their own abilities.
ENTJ. People who are extroverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging are among the most confident, according to Coulston. "ENTJs are highly confident and have excellent leadership skills as their dominant extroverted thinking traits make them effectiveness oriented," she says.
INFPs are definitely dreamers, who spend most of their time inside of their own inner worlds. They have incredibly rich imaginations, and active minds which keep them constantly dreaming.
ENTJ types are the most charismatic. They harness all of the intellectual and strategic weight of the others mentioned above but benefit from an extroverted personality, which allows them to connect more frequently and easily with the needs of others.
Pride: ENTJ, INTJ, ISFJ, INTP
ENTJs, INTJs, and INTPs are particularly likely to cross the line from confident to cocky. Those with an ISFJ personality tend to be less brazenly prideful, but their general stubbornness in their ways may leave them feeling superior to others.
People who overthink tend to score high in the neurotic department. Neuroticism is one of the five big personality traits, along with openness, conscientiousness, extraversion and agreeableness.
Perhaps the most sensitive of all the personality types, INFJs take it hard when someone they trust lets them down. They tend to hold on to anger longer than they should and are capable of holding a grudge even when the other person has apologized, repeatedly, for their wrongdoing.
ISFJs are not generally seen as open-minded people, since they often have strong belief systems. ISFJs are grounded people, and often know exactly what they believe if right. They can have a hard time being convinced of any opposing viewpoints, especially if they can shatter the beliefs of the ISFJ.
In general, ESTP and ESFP personality types are the least likely to go to a four-year college after high school.
ESFJs and ENFJs are some of the most supportive students and enjoy learning things that will have positive impacts on their communities. They are both motivated by goals and enjoy using check-lists and visual charts to keep track of their progress.
ISTPs are the most unpredictable of the 16 personality types, because they're typically rational and logical, but can also be enthusiastic and spontaneous.
The introverted (I) intuitive (N) types (“INs”)—INFJ, INFP, INTJ and INTP—are among the most “sensitive” of the personality types.
