What are MBTI Dimensions & Personality Types?

What is Personality?

The word personality is rooted in a Latin word ‘persona.’ The word persona refers to a theatrical mask work by performers in order to either look a definite way or disguise their characters. Carl Jung highlights the idea of “collective unconscious.”

This notion refers to the innate psychological dispositions of all human beings.  According to the American Psychological Association, “Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

The study of personality focuses on two broad areas:

• One understanding is the individual differences in particular personality characteristics, such as sociability or irritability.
• The other understanding is how the various parts of a person come together as a whole.”

Four Key Dichotomies

There are four dichotomies including 2 opposing styles each, which makes a total of 8 different styles. The 8 styles are Extraversion (E), Introversion (I), Sensing (S), iNtuition (N), Judging (J), Perceiving (P), Thinking (T) and Feeling (F). Once it is determined what an individual style for the four dichotomies is, a four letter code is obtained. These four letters are the initials of each of the preferred styles.

MBTI Dichotomy – Introversion vs. Extraversion (I/E)

Function: How individuals get their energy?

Description: By spending quiet time alone or with a small group, introverts are energized. They seem to be more thoughtful and reserved. By spending time with individuals and in busy, productive surroundings, extraverts are energized. They seem to be outspoken and more verbal.

MBTI Dichotomy – Sensing vs. iNtuition (S/I)

Function: How individuals take in the information?

Description: Sensors rely on their five senses and are interested in data that they can see, hear, and so on directly. They prefer to be hands-on students and are frequently characterized as “practical.” A more abstract level of thought focuses on iNtuitive; they are creative and more interested in ideas, patterns, and explanations. 

MBTI Dichotomy- Judging vs. Perceiving (J/P)

Function: How individuals make decisions?

Description: Judgers enjoy structure and order; they like organized stuff, and they hate last-minute revisions. Flexibility and spontaneity are valued by perceivers; they want to leave open things so they can change their minds.

MBTI Dichotomy –Thinking vs. Feeling (T/F)

Function: How individuals organize their world?

Description: Thinkers, in their heads, prefer to make decisions; they are interested in making the most rational, fair option. Feelers prefer to make choices in their hearts; they are interested in how people will be influenced by a decision, and whether it suits their beliefs.

What are INFJ females like? (In detail)

Given below are the details of some of the attributes of INFJ female:

Wholehearted but reserved

INFJs are naturally warm individuals with big, beautiful hearts. They are deeply in love and always show concern for everyone they encounter. They want to show compassion and warmth to those they care for, and they are very caring people. 

They will frequently assist their friends and loved ones in determining the best course of action and assisting them in resolving any problems that might arise.

INFJs give too much of themselves to the people they care for, which can be exhausting. At these times, INFJs can appear distant and even cold. They have a dark side to their personality, despite being caring people. They can experience periods of time where their emotional core is depleted, and they will look much colder than normal.

They still have aspects of themselves that they don’t want to share with anyone, which may make them seem remote.

Female INFJs may struggle to reconcile their feelings of deep love for everyone around them with their desire to isolate themselves from those people. This can make them seem contradictory at times, which can be a hindrance in certain situations.

People can misinterpret this behavior and make inaccurate assumptions about the INFJ woman in their lives.

Socially affectionate but needs time alone

INFJs adore their loved ones, but they are unable to be at their beck and call. They need a lot of alone time, which can be seen as “selfish” by others who don’t understand them. The INFJ needs to refresh their internal batteries in order to be completely supportive and giving to the people they care for.

They would become a shadow of themselves if they do not have this alone time. The typical bubbly woman, with a constant need to socialize and be around others, is not the INFJ girl. She would much rather spend time alone, mostly delving into her areas of interest.

Sensitive but rational

The fact that INFJ females are both emotional and rational can be a source of conflict for them. They often prioritize their emotions out of a desire to be mindful of others and considerate of their own feelings. 

INFJ women, on the other hand, are often rational. People also judge them for it, which is aggravating for the INFJ woman because she is so much more than that.

People also judge them for it, which is aggravating for the INFJ woman because she is so much more than an emotional woman. She needs to be praised for her ability to comprehend and learn just as much as she wants to be praised for her ability to love and feel. 

Underestimating the INFJ woman is one of the most common mistakes people make.

Take stand for their notion

INFJ women are typically self-sufficient individuals who are not afraid to stand out if necessary. This may seem to be contradictory, but they actually follow their own direction and will not compromise when they feel it is right.

INFJs are known for standing up for the people they care for, and when it comes to protecting those they care for, they can be a terrifying adversary. They have a tender and caring side, but they also have a dark side.

INFJs make fantastic friends and companions, but they can also be ruthless adversaries. This is due to the fact that they are sincere and passionate people who know what they believe in.

Giving but with limits

INFJ women are also selfless and will go to great lengths to make others happy. Despite this, they do have their limitations. INFJs often continue to encourage someone they care about to make several errors, injuring themselves in the process.

This gives them the appearance of being extremely selfless, but it isn’t something that can last indefinitely. INFJs can finally reach their breaking point, and when they do, they will become totally detached from others. The INFJ Door Slam is what it’s called, and it can make them sound harsh at times.

This only occurs when the INFJ knows that this individual will never improve and that they have exhausted all other options. Everyone has limits, but INFJs’ limits always result in them cutting others out of their lives entirely. This is the only way they can step forward; otherwise, this individual would continue to walk all over them.

Trust others but find it hard to trust themselves

INFJs have a deep belief in the people they care for, and they are capable of finding the best of others. People around them are often forced to become the best versions of themselves as a result of this talent. It’s a wonderful gift, but it’s one they don’t often send to themselves.

INFJs are prone to seeing the best in others while seeing only the worst in themselves. This will cause them to be far too harsh on themselves, aiming for a level of excellence that they can never achieve.

This is often even more difficult for the INFJ person, who aspires to a perfect balance of feminine attributes while remaining true to their values. They always struggle with this, but with practice, they can learn to recognize their shortcomings as well.
