Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about comparing MBTI personality types

How do I compare two MBTI types?
Simply select two personality types from the dropdown menus above. Our tool will instantly show you a detailed comparison including dimension preferences, cognitive function stacks, strengths, weaknesses, and relationship dynamics between the two types.
What are the key differences between MBTI types?
MBTI types differ across four dimensions: Extraversion/Introversion (energy direction), Sensing/Intuition (information processing), Thinking/Feeling (decision making), and Judging/Perceiving (lifestyle orientation). Each type also has a unique cognitive function stack that shapes how they perceive and judge the world.
Can similar types still have significant differences?
Yes! Even types that share three letters (like INTJ and INTP) can have very different cognitive function stacks and approaches to life. The comparison tool helps you understand these subtle but important differences.
How are cognitive functions compared?
Each type has a stack of four cognitive functions (dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, inferior). Our comparison shows both stacks side by side, highlighting shared functions and different priorities. This reveals deeper psychological differences beyond the four-letter code.
