INFP and INFJ are known to be two types of personalities that may be somewhat similar to each other. These are two introverted Myers−Briggs personality types. They have some differences that will allow you to tell them apart.

For INFJs, they would rely on their intuition in order to do things. This means that they would rely on the environment in helping them make decisions. For INFPs, they would also rely on the environment, but their approach would be more analytical.

They would observe the environment, and they would make decisions based on what they think will work best. INFJs will have the ability to tune in to the moods of other people, while the INFPs will be more in tune with what they are feeling.
