An INFP’s opinion on other types

I’ve been interested in personalities again. Let me start by telling you my personality type: I’m an INFP 4w5.

The Romantic/Idealist/Healer/Individualist. The INFP comes from Myers Briggs. The 4 wing 5 is from Enneagram. Enneagrams are a bit different and don’t necessarily correspond to MBTI.

I want to preface my opinions by saying: every personality has really awesome traits and I can be friends with people of any personality, but I tend to connect with more than others. It just sometimes takes me a little while to get over the stereotypes.

Here are my honest options on the types:

INTJ – They are incredibly intriguing and brilliant, however, they are often not in touch with their own emotions, and not everything is a puzzle to be solved.

INTP – They are endearingly shy and nerdy and intelligent, however, they can be lost in their own heads and bore me with their focus on math and scientific theory.

ENTJ – They are very charismatic and get me out of my own head, however, they are often also too confident, ambitious, and ruthless.

ENTP – I find them the funniest, brilliant, and clever, but they are too argumentative and can be insensitive.

INFJ – They are so insightful it’s scary and intimidating, makes me feel a strong emotional connection with them, and they can make me feel like I’ve been punched in the gut with emotion.

INFP – My own type, they are lovable, quirky, and creative but they can also be self-absorbed and depressive.

ENFJ – They are charming, bring the group together, and inspire others, however, they can be overbearing and intrusive.

ENFP – This is the type I most admire and want to be like, me but outgoing (my Quixie self), fun, creative, in touch with emotions, energetic, people-loving, however, they can be a bit zany and “out there.”

ISTJ – Their consistency and stability are admirable and needed in my life and they can be surprisingly funny with a hidden rebellious streak, but they can be too stubborn and overly practical.

ISFJ – They are loving and make me feel listened to and cared for. They can also care too much about fitting in and being liked.

ESTJ – I admire them for not getting bogged down with emotions and I need them to take the lead and make decisions when I cannot, however they can be a bit pushy and impatient with me.

ESFJ – They are loyal and tenderhearted and good at thinking about and taking care of the group needs, however, they care too much about group harmony and less about the individual.

ISTP – They are so cool (as in, I want to be like them), push me out of my comfort zone, and are adventurous but they can also think they are too cool and smarter than others.

ISFP – They are beautiful, bold, and sensitive. They can also be too emotional and into woo.

ESTP – This type is least like me. They are extremely confident in their own abilities and want to take risks and push themselves to the top. They can be manipulative.

ESFP – They are fun, unique, and entertaining, I also find them somewhat shallow at times.

What do you think? Are these fair assessments? What personality are you?
