INTJ vs INFJ - Type Comparison

The INTJ and INFJ personality types tend to be regarded as similar due to sharing the same dominant function, Introverted Intuition. For this reason, there will often be some confusion as to whether a person is one or the other - afterall, each are Thinking and Feeling types in their own right, but what differs is the manner in which these functions are engaged.

In this video I employ CPT methodology to help tell these types apart, and attempt to elucidate the significant differences between their styles of thought. Some people will always be more 'neutral' than others and accordingly feel affinity with both type descriptions - nonetheless, they will still lean more towards one than the other, through this presentation of the two extremes I hope people can find the type they belong within.

About me:
Hi, I'm Harry, and I'm intensely passionate about personality typing and self-development - so much so that I have created my own Jung-inspired system, taking a more high-resolution look at the factors making up personality.

Through Cognitive Personality Theory I examine the underlying mechanisms behind cognition, and the means through which a single type can have limitless individual variation - I believe type itself is just a set of cognitive predispositions that can according to the needs of the situation be overcome.

I don't believe any type is limited in what they can achieve, but have noticed sensationalist attitudes and internet trends propagating a culture in which type-development is actively discouraged in favour of conforming to simplistic archetypes. Through CPT I hope to dispel various myths and oversimplifications of what constitutes personality type, and along the way encourage a healthier attitude towards type that allows a person to become not who they are told they are, but rather who they want to be.
