Introversion and the Avoiding Conflict-handling Mode Across the eight Introverted types from the MBTI® assessment, the avoiding mode was the highest scoring mode for those with ISTJ, ISFJ, ISTP, ISFP, and INTP preferences. For INFJ, INTJ, and INFP types, the avoiding mode was second highest.
INFPs are classically conflict-avoidant. You're both sensitive and empathetic, trying your best to avoid hurt and avoid inflicting pain on others.
While Extroverts often like to take initiative, Introverts spend far more time reflecting internally before taking any action, so they may be less likely to instigate a confrontation.
According to the MBTI® Manual ENTJs are the type least likely to suppress anger and least likely to show anger.
Intuitive Thinking personality types are the most likely of all of the types to be argumentative, according to research led by Donald Loffredo, Ed. D, at the University of Houston. ENTJs in particular tended to score as highly argumentative.
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 ISFP. These types tend to have varying responses to anger. According to the MBTI® Manual, they are the type most likely to get angry and show it, as well as the type most likely to get angry and not show it.
The MBTI Personality Inventory
Being an INFJ comes with its advantages, but also its drawbacks. Lovable INFJs experience the same pain, struggles, and difficult emotions that others do—they often choose to do so in secret. This tendency may contribute to depression.
Of all the personality types, ENTJs are arguably the ones who care least about other people's opinions of them.
INFJ is regarded as the most sensitive personality type. Some estimates suggest that 80 to 90% of people who test as INFJs also test as highly sensitive people, because the traits of the two overlap so much.
“A conflict-avoidant personality is a type of people-pleasing behavior where someone avoids conflict or disagreements at all costs and fears making others upset or angry,” explains Babita Spinelli, a psychotherapist licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Florida.
Which Types Ranked as the Least Happy? Sadly, INFPs ranked the lowest for happiness as well as the lowest for life-satisfaction. According to the third edition of the MBTI® Manual, these types also ranked second highest in dissatisfaction with their marriages and intimate relationships.
Our research tells us that personality types with the Thinking, Extraverted, and Assertive traits are more likely than others to choose to fight. At its core, fighting is an expression of dominance, of the need to make our will supreme.
ENFJ: Neglects their own emotional well-being for others
ENFJs believe they should be readily available to help, yet they tend to neglect their own emotions in the process.
INTP – Rejection
When I surveyed the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types, INTPs mentioned the fear of rejection far more than any other type. I tried to research this to find out if there was any other information I could find about INTPs and rejection.
In fact, Adventurers (ISFP) came in as the least likely of all personality types to strive to win, with only 37% agreeing. Why this gap? Feeling types, because they filter everything through their emotions, are sensitive and interested in cooperation, not competition.
ISFJs and ISTJs and Cleanliness:
For the ISFJ and ISTJ personality types, having a sense of order and cleanliness gives them peace of mind. They notice the little things and feel satisfaction when their environment is free of dirt, dust, and clutter.
The INFP. One of the most imaginative of the types, INFPs hold a childlike wonder for the world beyond the senses.
Idealist (INFP)
INFPs are quiet and prefer not to talk about themselves. They enjoy spending time alone in quiet places.
"While the INTJ personality type is known for being highly intelligent, they also score high on trustworthiness, probably because they are self-aware enough to recognize the importance of trust in human relationships," Parmar explains.
The finding of the study showed that introvert, intuition, feeling and judging (INFJ) personality type were more emotionally intelligent than the extrovert, sensing, thinking and perceiving (ESTP) personality type.
One of the most positive Myers-Briggs types is the ENFJ, or those who are extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging. "Known for their optimism and upbeat personality, ENFJs are known for being fun to be around and for being idealist organizers who want to create a better way," Owens says.
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.
ISTPs are the most unpredictable of the 16 personality types, because they're typically rational and logical, but can also be enthusiastic and spontaneous.
*ESTPs can either be totally fine, or absolutely batshit insane when it comes to their jealousy and possessiveness. Overall, I would say that a) ExFx types, and b) enneagram 2s, would probably be the most likely combination of types to suffer from jealousy.
