Accurate Typing: Type Comparisons
This old post served to index scattered descriptions of types/functions. I have since consolidated all of that info into the study guides on my blog and no longer accept requests to write piecemeal type/function comparisons. Go to mbti-notes.tumblr.com/masterposts to access the study guides.
If you need help with type assessment, it is best to use a full and thorough method by following the instructions on the contact page, see mbti-notes.tumblr.com/contact. I will no longer respond to questions related to type assessment unless the info that I ask for is provided in full. My method of type assessment aims to be certain when concluding someone’s type, which means that you must provide enough detailed evidence to prove your type.
Based on my observations from doing hundreds of type assessments:
Es mistype as I more often than the other way around
Ns mistype themselves much more often than Ss do
Fs mistype as T much more often than the other way around
Js mistype as P more often than the other way around
Each type tends to mistype and/or get mistyped as:
