Which MBTI Personality is Prone to Narcissism?

In the MBTI system, which personality type is more likely to exhibit narcissistic tendencies? This article analyzes INFP and ENTJ personalities and their characteristics related to narcissism.

Which MBTI Personality is Prone to Narcissism?

In the world of MBTI, the question of which personality is prone to narcissism is an interesting one. Narcissism can be seen as excessive self-love or an overly high opinion of oneself. While it can sometimes be a sign of confidence, it may not always be a positive trait.

First, let's look at INFP. INFPs have a great deal of love for themselves. They often focus on their own perceptions and are oblivious to the outside world. They are the ones who are most likely to engage in self-analysis. Many INFPs, and some INTPs as well, are fond of taking MBTI tests. They are also good at self-praise. With a strong sense of self-esteem, they cannot tolerate being objectively less dominant or likable than other personalities. They often use terms like 'unique', 'I am the only one who is awake while others are drunk', and 'niche' to escape.

INFPs have an idealized view of the world. This makes it difficult for them to be satisfied in real life. Their expectations for interpersonal relationships, society, country, and the world are extremely lofty. When it comes to their pursuit of an ideal world, they seem to have either a clear or a vague standard. However, they always consider what could be more perfect and noble. Influenced by their overly idealized concepts, INFPs gradually become people with high moral qualities. They care about the fate of humanity and deeply love their fellow human beings. They hope to find a way to save this gloomy world and fight against those evil people. However, INFPs are sensitive, kind, and compassionate, and also easily hurt. They are generally not good at socializing with people in the real world. INFPs are reluctant to destroy their idealized views to interact with those 'imperfect' people in reality. Their thoughts are noble, but they unconsciously find that people in reality tend to be selfish, ignorant, vulgar, and have low-level thoughts. INFPs will secretly dislike those who cannot meet their expectations while also sympathizing with them. INFPs' idealized thoughts are hard to find people with similar thoughts in reality, so they are not willing to communicate with those who have very different ideas. As a result, INFPs may appear quiet and孤僻 in a crowd and easily feel frustrated. They prefer to be alone and continue to pursue that illusory dream.

Next, we have ENTJ. ENTJs are truly confident when they are confident. And because of their confidence, they become narcissistic, which then leads to arrogance. But in fact, ENTJs care more about practical benefits than other NT types because of their inferiority complex. They feel that they are not good enough or care about others' opinions. They want to slap in the face those who looked down on them before (in fact, very few people look down on them. It's just that ENTJs are too competitive and can't tolerate losing even a little bit. This inner sense of inferiority drives ENTJs to constantly strive upward and pursue worldly interests.

ENTJs are happy to solve complex problems. They boldly strive to master anything that interests them. ENTJs value facts above all else and only believe through logical reasoning. ENTJs are eager to continuously expand their knowledge base and systematically plan and study new situations. They enjoy delving into complex theoretical problems and strive to master anything they find interesting. They are more interested in the future consequences of actions than the current state of things.
