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.
INFJ personalities are often seen as those quiet, sensitive types who are easily upset and seem to take everything personally.
ENFP. Talkative and a bit self-absorbed, ENFPs aren't always the most polite personality type. ENFPs have a tendency to talk about themselves a lot and they're not great listeners.
ISTPs ranked lowest of all the 16 personality types in using social coping resources to deal with stress, according to the MBTI® Manual. They are also one of the four types in college reporting the lowest levels of assertiveness. All this may play a part in why they rank lower on self-acceptance.
ISFJs ranked as having low self-acceptance according to the CPI™ tool. This may be largely because ISFJs are known for being cautious and careful, which may come across as self-doubting at times.
INTJs often hide their vulnerable or emotional side behind a mask of stoicism. They are the types to let their behavior speak for them, rather than put their feelings into words.
INFPs are usually seen as private yet kind individuals. Because they value depth and authenticity to such a great degree they are usually selective about who they spend their time with. They often seem mysterious to others because a lot of their vivid, inner world is very private.
Idealist (INFP)
INFPs are quiet and prefer not to talk about themselves. They enjoy spending time alone in quiet places.
ESFJs and ENFJs are the most loving personality types. They are outgoing, compassionate, and emotional people who love to express their feelings. They often show their love through physical affection, words of affirmation, and acts of service.
ENFJs are known for searching for the goodness in others, and for being able to summon a powerful level of compassion, which means that even when their partner falls short, their acceptance and love is still unwavering. Expressive, nurturing, and supportive, ENFJs love hard because it's the only way they know how.
"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.
INFJ is the rarest personality type across the population, occurring in just 2% of the population. It is also the rarest personality type among men. INFJ stands for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging. This unique combination is hard to find in most people.
ISTPs are the most unpredictable of the 16 personality types, because they're typically rational and logical, but can also be enthusiastic and spontaneous.
INFJ and INTJ:
These types are long-term planners through and through, and they dislike having to adjust quickly to any unexpected changes.
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.
Dependent personality disorder usually starts during childhood or by the age of 29. People with DPD have an overwhelming need to have others take care of them. Often, a person with DPD relies on people close to them for their emotional or physical needs. Others may describe them as needy or clingy.
ISFPs are quiet, reserved types who like to focus their attention on people and the experiences they enjoy. They aren't typically big talkers unless someone they're talking about something deeply important to them or they're trying to empathize verbally with someone.
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.
Statistically speaking, Assertive Virtuosos (ISTP-As), Architects (INTJ-As), and Logisticians (ISTJ-As) are the least likely to seek affection from everyone, while Turbulent Campaigners (ENFP-Ts) and Entertainers (ESFP-Ts) are the most likely.
"ESFJs are social creatures with a lot of love for routine. They tend to be sensitive and feel most awkward when they think they are the butt of someone's joke or are not having their feelings in a friendship or relationship reciprocated," says Owens.
Additionally, immature ISFPs may become highly sensitive to criticism and take everything personally. Instead of balancing their feeling and thinking sides, these ISFPs tend to believe that whatever they feel is the ultimate truth.
ENTJ. ENTJs are perhaps the most confident of the 16 Myers and Briggs personality types. They are characterized by their self-assured, ambitious and charismatic energy and they use this to their advantage when it comes to goal-setting, career progression, relationships and more.
ENTP: Highly self-critical
They can usually see the pros and cons of every choice and question. When they prioritize themselves and their needs over others' desires, they wonder if they're being a good enough friend or parent.
