INFP vs INTP 的相似和差异
By Dr. A.J. Drenth
INTP and INFP males can be strikingly similar in many ways. As males and INPs, they are probably the most autonomous of all the personality types. Both place an inordinate amount of value on personal freedom, strongly resistant to manipulation by external EJ forces (INFPs are especially resistant to Fe manipulation, INTPs to Te manipulation). Both are wanderers and seekers, ever struggling to find their rightful place in the world. Both are rugged individualists, insistent on paving their own path with little regard for societal norms and conventions.
INFP和INTP的男性在许多地方十分相似。同属为INPs的男性,他们可能是所有人格中最独立的类型。两者都极度崇尚个人自由,强烈反对被外向的强EJ人格操控(INFP尤其抗拒Fe操控,INTP尤其抗拒Te操控)。两者都是探索者和寻找者,都曾想找到自己在世界的归属。两者都有生命力顽强的个性,都不顾社会传统坚持走自己的道路。
INTP vs INFP 外貌和生活习惯的偏好
INTP and INFP males often display a similar body type. They tend toward ectomorphy (i.e., long and lean), often combined with a mild degree of mesomorphy (i.e., lightly muscled). Because over their dominant J function (Ti or Fi), as well as their tertiary Ne-Si bodily awareness and concern for health/ naturalism, they generally display good control over their appetite, allowing them to maintain a healthy body weight (INJs tend to struggle more in this regard). They may also dress fairly similarly, prioritizing Si comfort and minimalism. Both may buck conventions when it comes to personal care and grooming, but this can vary widely depending on external obligations. INFP males are more apt to sport longer hair (e.g., John Lennon) than INTPs, who lean toward shorter, more clean-cut hair styles.
INTP和INFP男性经常呈现出相似的外表类型。他们都偏瘦长,有时还有轻微的运动型体质(有点肌肉)。因为他们的主导的判断功能Ti或Fi,结合第三功能Ne或Si的认知和对健康和自然主义的关注,他们普遍对自己的食欲有良好的控制,这允许他们保持健康的体重(INJs在这方面会更挣扎一点)。他们的着装会十分相似,更注重舒适和极简艺术。INFP的男性更倾向于选择运动型的长发,而INTP的男性更倾向于清爽的短发。
It is also quite common for these types to prefer similar living conditions, typically along minimalist, Bohemian lines. Both like the idea of living lightly, which grants the freedom to pick up and relocate at the drop of a hat. Both can have a sort of romantic view of nature and primitive living, inspired, at least in part, by their distaste for working day jobs. Of the two, however, INFPs seem more apt to actually take to the woods. It’s rare to meet an INFP male with no interest in hiking or the outdoors. It is not at all uncommon for them to escape to nature for weeks, even months. While INTPs’ Ne-Si may inspire some degree of interest in wandering through nature, INFPs’ Fi confers a deeper and more authentic love of nature. INTPs also seem more heavily reliant on other people, even if merely for background noise, because of their inferior Fe. In this sense, INFP males actually seem more independent and self-sufficient than INTPs. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, INTPs are far more afraid of being isolated and cut-off from people. INFPs may harbor similar fears of being cut-off from the Te system.
两者的生活条件也极其相似,尤其偏爱极简主义。两者都倾向于简易生活的想法,这样给了他们一有机会就整理迁移的自由。两者都浪漫地向往自然的,原始的生活,在某种程度上是被他们对现实工作的厌恶所激发的。然而两者之中,INFP更会选择回归自然。很少看见INFP男性会对户外徒步感兴趣。但逃避到自然里好几周甚至几个月对他们来说十分常见。然而INTP的Ne-Si会激发他们在自然里面漫步,而INFP的Fi会带来更真实,有深度的对自然的爱。INTP由于他们的第四功能Fe会看起来更依赖于人群,即使只是背景的噪音。在这个层面上INFP男性会更加的独立自主一点。不论他们承认与否,INTP十分害怕被独立和远离人群,INFP可能由于Te系统,隐藏起相似的怕被孤立的情绪。
INTP vs INFP 的兴趣爱好
As indicated above, INFPs and INTPs share many interests and preferences associated with the Ne-Si function pair. Academically, for instance, both types may share an interest in biology and environmental studies, stemming from the Ne-Si interest in the natural world. INFPs, however, seem more apt to actually become biologists or environmental scientists, due to their dominant Fi as well as their Te love of science. As I’ve written elsewhere, INTPs, who prefer Ti rather than Te, are often more tepid toward the formalized methods of science. INFPs’ Fi-Te combo also disposes them to take interest in fiction and science fiction, whereas INTPs are more inclined toward non-fiction.
正如上面所提及的,因为Ne-Si功能的联动,INFP和INTP可能会有相似的兴趣和偏好。举个例子,从学术角度出发,由于源源不断的Ne-Si对自然世界的兴趣,两者都会对生物和环境的学习感兴趣。然而,由于主导功能Fi和Te对科学的热爱,INFP更多地选择成为生物学家或环境科学家。INTP运用地是Ti功能而不是Te功能,他们则对形式化地科学方法不大感兴趣。INFP的Fi-Te对立会使他们对小说和科幻电影感兴趣,而INTP更倾向于非虚构的事物。
As F dominants, INFPs are more authentically inclined toward the arts, culture, and music than INTPs. INFPs also display more F tendencies with respect to caring for animals, plants, the needy, etc. INTPs, by contrast, are most engaged when informally researching, philosophizing, discussing ideas with others, or working on their personal projects. They love wrestling with ideas related to philosophy, theology, psychology, metaphysics, and epistemology.
作为F主导的类型,INFP相对INTP来说能更真实地热爱艺术,文化和音乐,同时INFP更加关心动植物和有需求地人。相对地INTP在非正式的探索,理性思考,和他人讨论观点或是做自己的项目时更加投入。他们热衷于辩论哲学,科技,心理学,形而上学,认识论的各种观点。
优柔寡断的INP
INTPs and INFPs are also alike in their tendency to constantly make plans and diverge from them. This can be understood in light of their functional stack. Because of their dominant J function (Ti or Fi), INPs feel compelled to make plans and bring order to their lives. But since their auxiliary function, Ne, is constantly working in the opposite direction, they invariably end up doubting and questioning the plans they just finished making. Other types can find it humorous how INPs can seem to have a new grand plan for their lives every day.
INTP和INFP都倾向于不停制定计划然后偏离计划。这从他们的功能顺序里得到解释。由于他们的主导判断功能(Ti或Fi),INPs觉得他们理应当制定计划来规范生活。但他们的第二功能Ne,不断朝反方向偏离。其他人格的人可能会觉得INPs看起来十分搞笑,他们每天都给自己制定不同的计划。
和一个INTP做过室友,两个都是女孩子,但还是从这篇文章里看到了许多影子,尤其是讲我们的拖延症和原始洞穴式的生活,这么一想,我们确实在那间屋子里搭建过一个理想国呢,INFP 和INTP 的Ne-Si联动感十分很奇妙,不知不觉两个人就会聊个通宵。。
