Description of every MBTI type

I gave it my best shot.  


INFPs generally have values that they hold close. They’re flexible until something threatens what they believe in. INFPs are very warm, caring, and creative. They mainly concentrate on their ‘inner world’, dominated by emotion and focus on the ‘people side’ rather than the logical side. Another aim is to create harmonious connections between themselves and others.

INFJs are essentially dreamers that end up accomplishing things. They are strong willed, yet soft-spoken and find it easy to connect with others. INFJs are protective of their inner world and typically have strong values. They often see patterns quickly. Once you get to know them very well, most INFJs are actually extremely self-centered and not as sensitive as they first seem to be. Some are also surprisingly morbid.

INTPs typically are very creative. They see patterns quickly and think in a chain of thoughts. Often INTPs don’t see the emotional side of things, and fail to give support. They typically prefer to work alone, as opposed to being led in a group. INTPs try to come into a situation with a flexible approach, going over their strategies and thought processes.

INTJs are typically very strategic and curious. They are analytical, prefer to work alone, and are hesitant to jump on bandwagons. INTJs like to translate their thoughts into a system before explaining them to others. Often they appear as very self-confident and knowledgeable.

ISTPs like to figure out the world with their hands. They typically quiet but very friendly people who don’t want to sit around all day figuring things out that way. They try not to make decisions based on their own values and beliefs, but are often spontaneous and prone to action.

ISTJs are very connected with their five senses. They typically don’t like going against set laws and enjoy being in authority. They also generally like to see a task through completion, and try to select practical tasks over more abstract ones. ISTJs can have trouble respecting ideas that they personally haven’t experienced or don’t value themselves.

ISFPs are typically very creative and colorful individuals. They like being a part of new trends and live in the moment. However, ISFPs can struggle with long term planning, even though they find commitment important. They try to express themselves through action rather than words, and take life very seriously.

ISFJs are generally perfectionists. They take responsibilities seriously, trying to exceed expectations. Typically, they believe the best in people and learn by doing. ISFJS are also normally humble, trying not to draw attention to themselves. They also hate confrontation and try to avoid it. Sometimes they are mistaken as cold or stiff, when in reality they are eager to show sympathy.

ENFPs see the people side of things. They enjoy emotional connections with others, preferring to look for deeper meaning instead of the logical solution. Typically they have good people skills, and dislike mundane everyday tasks. ENFPs can appear as rather scatterbrained, and can miss little details. They enjoy being the center of attention, and can sometimes go a little overboard trying to get accepted.

ENFJs are very passionate leaders. They typically have good people skills, which can lead to manipulation. Often they are very straightforward and honest, not recognizing their own good qualities. ENFJS are also very empathetic, sometimes to a fault. They tend to draw conclusions about people quickly, organizing their thoughts well.

ENTPs enjoy debate and often play the devil’s advocate, although they value honesty. They absorb information and see ideas everywhere. Often, they are impatient with those who slow them down but are surprisingly nonjudgmental. ENTPs are reluctant to do things one way because of tradition. Typically they are very clever and think their arguments through logic and asking questions of themselves.

ENTJs are leaders. Often they overwhelm others with their drive, pushing right past emotional needs. They can enjoy spirited conversations, making decisions quickly and showing their opinions to others. ENTJs focus on the most logical and efficient way to accomplish things. They often look for patterns in the information they receive, and then use this to accomplish their goals.

ESTPs like being the center of attention. They are also prone to risk taking, solving rapid-fire problems logically instead of planning ahead. Generally, they live in the moment and focus on their current surroundings. ESTPs are typically very mentally tough and reluctant to admit failure.

ESTJs enjoy order and clear leadership. Typically, they are hard workers who dedicate to their cause and use their moral compass to guide them. They look back on personal experience and compare that with the data from the present moment. Traditions are often important to them, and they stand up for what they believe in. They look for logical conclusions to what just happened.

ESFPs often get overtaken by excitement in the moment. Often they enjoy being in the center of attention. They are also very optimistic and practical people, with a dislike for routine. ESFPs use their five senses to process data and create meaning. When making decisions, they try to see the people side of things and to remain flexible.

ESFJs are very people oriented, often striving for the needs of others. They are typically popular, and have strong leadership skills. Generally, they try to plan things out instead of making a spontaneous choice. ESFJs dislike conflict and try to end it. They also have a desire to be liked and value security. Typically, they have a strong moral code and seek harmonious relationships with others.
