INFJ vs ENFP?? I've been stuck between these two types for so long OTL

INFJ vs. ENFP:

INFJ: Ni Fe Ti Se

ENFP: Ne Fi Te Si

The INFJ’s primary function is introverted intuition, Ni. This function looks for inner meaning, looking to converge on one single truth in a situation. When looking towards the future, they may brainstorm various possibilities, but it is all for the purpose of understanding what will actually come to be (not what could come to be). Therefore, Ni-users are often stereotyped as being “psychic”. In reality, Ni-users are skilled at seeing the underlying themes or realities behind the surface, and can therefore understand situations with great depth (for example, understanding symbolism in a piece of literature). It is a convergent function that takes a singular topic or situation and goes into it, looking to understand its true essence. They see the symbolism behind things and seek out deeper truth than what is present on the surface. Even when they don’t have sufficient proof to back up their claims, they may just “feel” like something is true or right. In addition, being an introverted function, this analysis will mainly go on internally in the person’s head.

The INFJ’s auxiliary function is extroverted feeling, Fe. This function has to do with group emotions and morality. Fe-users value the harmony of the group and try to make sure everyone is feeling good. They do not have a very clear view of their own feelings or beliefs outside the context of others. Therefore they often need to talk out their feelings with someone else, evaluate their feelings in the context of a group, or hear other people give their perspectives on a situation. They make emotional decisions based on how the group feels and what they value and feel extremely uncomfortable if there is disagreement in their social group. They conform to group behavior, follow social norms, and understand and respect different societies’ culture and laws. However, this is not to say that all Fe-users are fine abandoning their personal beliefs in order to fit in with others. Merely they prefer to reach a group consensus and like the idea of maintaining harmony. INFJ’s will choose the pursuit of truth over the maintenance of good feelings if prompted, but will prefer to find a path that maintains both. In addition, they are much more dependent on affirmation from others and feel uncomfortable if someone disapproves of their behavior or dislikes them.

The INFJ’s tertiary function is introverted thinking, Ti. This function seeks to understand the world of ideas, to make rational logic judgements in one’s mind. Ti seeks logic and understanding the world by taking the experiences and facts of the outer world and filtering them: Does this make sense? How can I understand this? It has a complicated internal framework of ideas and concepts that may or may not be utilized for outer plans. Ti is good at focusing on a single problem, figuring out what is wrong and then coming up with a plan to fix it. It constantly seeks understanding, taking ideas apart and playing with theories for the sole purpose of understanding them. They are interested in theories, information for the sake of learning, and playing with ideas inside their heads. In a situation, they can identify logical flaws, analyze, and play with abstract concepts. It hones their judgements, bringing facts and logic to their beliefs about things. They can also identify the course of action that they consider the most rational (although they may not act on it if it conflicts with their gut feeling—Ni—or encroaches on group values—Fe).

The INFJ’s inferior function is extroverted sensing, Se. The inferior function can have unexpected influences on personality. Usually they will be uncomfortable with this function and may avoid using it as much as they can. However, especially in times of stress, we can become overly indulgent and obsessive with our inferior functions. The INFJ’s inferior function is Se. This means that in general, INFJ’s are uncomfortable interacting with the outer world. They may go through life in a dreamlike state, finding it difficult to feel that they are really existing in the here and now, and may find themselves being uncoordinated or bad with sports. When INFJ’s do employ their Se, it may be in an unhealthy way, overindulging in material sensations. They may go to sensations such as partying or drugs and over-indulge these in times of extreme distress.

The ENFP’s primary function is extroverted intuition, Ne. This function is future oriented, and works to envision possibilities. It looks for new opportunities, wanting to understand all the different ways a situation could unfold. It is a divergent function that creatively presents options without settling on one plan and enjoys the brainstorming stage of processes. It takes a single topic or situation and goes out of it, creatively generate ideas outside of that one reality. Therefore, they may bring up seemingly random ideas, stories, etc. in a conversation, because their mind jumps to other connections. They can see past the facts and details to the inner meaning and connect these different ideas to other ones. Their train of thought may be hard to follow, because they jump from idea to disparate idea so quickly. It’s that person who, when you’re envisioning an idea for a group project, goes on about how “We could do this or this or this…” but doesn’t stop to actually create a concrete plan of action. Ne can creatively generate ideas from nothing. They can see past the facts and details to the inner meaning and connect these different ideas to other ones.

The ENFP’s auxiliary function is introverted feeling, Fi. This function is characterized by a deep, intense, private experience of emotions; private beliefs and values, and an unwavering allegiance to these ideas. They may come across as private, closed-off emotionally (not in the fact that they are unemotional, but reluctant to share their feelings), and hard to understand. They know what they value and want for their life, and feel happiest when they can follow these. They believe morality is something personal to each and every person, and they know their own sense of right and wrong. This means they are very interested in understanding themselves and cultivating a world of internal tastes, likes and dislikes, emotions, and beliefs. They deal with their emotions very independently and may see external expression of emotions as being unauthentic, and definitely do not require talking to others to understand the way they feel. They are independent and wish to understand themselves as an individual outside of society. They will care less about offending others or making others upset by something that is in line with their moral beliefs.

The ENFP’s tertiary function is extroverted thinking, Te. This function has to do with setting clear goals, working out organized ideas of what needs to be done, and enacting these plans into action. It likes the world (and systems of people) around them to be organized, and may therefore come across as controlling. Te-users often respect structures or hierarchies of authority such as governments or bureaucracies (at least in theory). Te wants to collect facts from the outside world and sort through information and apply them in some practical manner. They believe logic is something universal; facts and overt data point to what is wrong or right logically. They therefore are interested in abstract theories or intellectual pursuits only if they see the purpose for them, and how they can be integrated and understood in the context of projects and purpose. They feel comfortable making decisions and stating their opinions confidently, making them naturals for leading others. They think about how to work details and facts into an over-arching system.

The ENFP’s inferior function is introverted sensing, Si. Generally, they are bad at remembering small details or memories, preferring to think about the present or future. They tend to think about the overall vision or sense they get from ideas, instead of actual facts, numbers, memorization, etc. Deep down, they may strive for a more traditional, organized life, although their personality suggests the opposite (and their true personality and values do not align with this either). When they indulge their Si, they may become quiet, hesitant about sharing their ideas with others, obsessive over details, and extremely concerned with their body.
