Hi and welcome to PHQ, questions from the personality hacker community.

My name is Joel Mark Witt and I'm Antonia Dodge and let's get right to our question this week.

Hi Joel and Antonia I just had a question about types. I'm pretty sure I'm an INFP, but I always

test as an INFJ or an ISFJ. I hardly ever have tested as an INFP. I even took the official

test and I came out an INFJ. And I'm not

and I think the reason for this is because I'm not very spontaneous or impulsive and I usually like plans and I stick to a routine for the most part. I'm also really bad at

improvising. I even had to write my question down so I wouldn't clam up when I recorded this. So I'm

I really doubt I'm an I NFJ, but I would just love to know if you've ever observed this with I NFPs.

I've also wondered if other I NFPs can relate to this because it really confuses me.

It makes me wonder if I'm really an I NFP or maybe if I'm a different type altogether.

So at this point I'm open to pretty much anything and I would love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks

by-bye. Thanks Andrea for the question. Yeah thank you and I'm kind of glad this

came up honestly. This is something that is a phenomena that is not uncommon to people who

lead with the cognitive function introverted feeling or what we call authenticity. So I would say that the people who have

that greatest challenge in typing themselves,

especially when they're relying on,

say, online assessments or quizzes or tests are ISFPs and INFPs. It's not uncommon for an

INFP to test out as a different type or not want to feel boxed in when they do.

When they test out as a type and they read their description,

ISFPs and ENFPs have some of the hardest time

feeling boxed in because the introverted feeling process itself see so much

texture within their individuality. Introverted feeling goes in and experiences all of the different characters within you.
