16 MBTI Types, Which One Are You?
MBTI ENTP INFJ.......
The MBTI personality test has become a highly discussed topic among young people in recent years. It has successfully transitioned from a workplace personality test to a form of popular entertainment. Whether you are an introvert (I) or an extrovert (E), and whether you are a perceiving (P) or a judging (J) person, obtaining information and having topics for conversation with others based on this is a good way. As a coffee lover, it is also interesting to understand which coffee suits your MBTI personality. Today, we will take various coffee production forms as examples to introduce MBTI personalities and coffee together. (Due to the large amount of content, it will be divided into upper and lower parts. Let's start with the IJ group.) The IJ group includes ISTJ, INFJ, ISFJ, and INTJ. Among them, I am one of them. Can you guess which one I am? The first is the 'iceberg' ISTJ personality. People with this personality type are very organized and loyal to themselves. Loyalty is an important bond in their social circles. They are not good at expressing emotions with words but express support for friends through actions, forming a tacit understanding with friends. Such people do not like coffee with too many fancy decorations. They prefer pure and simple coffee forms to taste the original flavor of coffee. American coffee is the best match for them. It should be noted that there is a difference between American coffee and long black. American coffee is made by extracting concentrated coffee first and then adding water to the concentrated coffee. Long black is made by extracting concentrated coffee in a cup filled with water. This difference mainly lies in that long black can greatly retain the coffee oil on the surface, making the entrance flavor more mellow and giving a better body experience. American coffee is relatively 'thin'. The second is the 'quiet and mysterious' INFJ personality. They are idealists who are good at observing the surrounding environment and have the ability to predict future results. They can easily know the truth behind things and provide accurate emotional value to others. For them, flat white is the most suitable. Many people have been confused about the difference between flat white and latte, but in fact, they are two completely different things. Flat white is based on double concentrated coffee with a very thin layer of milk foam. The overall cup volume is about 160-180 ml. In the book 'Coffee New Rules', it is mentioned that 'flat white' does not exist. According to the ratio plan of flat white, there are many equivalent replacement methods in Italian coffee. Many people even interpret it as a mini latte. So in the book, the author expresses that flat white only exists as a concept and not an actual beverage. The cup volume of latte is much larger than that of flat white, usually 250-300 ml, with a thicker and denser layer of milk foam on the basis of double concentrated coffee, and the proportion of milk is also much larger than that of flat white. Therefore, to make authentic and delicious flat white, it is also a test of the barista's skills. If a complex pattern of latte art can be added on a small cup with thin milk foam, it will be a pleasant thing. This kind of milk coffee product that combines technology and flavor is tailor-made for idealistic INFJ. The third is the 'diligent and considerate' ISFJ personality. They are responsible and humble. Their self-confidence and self-esteem depend largely on their ability to support those around them. They will consider the impact of their behavior on others more and try to reduce or resolve interpersonal conflicts when they occur. However, they often ignore their own needs because they are too focused on maintaining the harmony of the external world and helping others. Such kind people should be treated well by the world. Cappuccino is the most suitable coffee for them. It is romantic and beautiful, full of healing power. The biggest feature of cappuccino is its thick and dense layer of milk foam. In the past, the general definition was the 'three-thirds principle', that is, one-third concentrated coffee (usually double concentrated), one-third steamed milk, and one-third milk foam. According to the Specialty Coffee Association, cappuccino is a 150-180 ml milk coffee with a milk foam thickness of at least 1 cm. But in fact, there is an evolution process in the presentation result. The traditional cappuccino is that the thick milk foam is on the top layer. When drinking, it is like in a milk advertisement. There must be a white edge of milk foam around the mouth, with a romantic feeling. But such cappuccino does not pay attention to integration, and the taste will feel that the milk foam is relatively rough and not smooth enough. Now many coffee shops pay more attention to integration when producing cappuccino to improve the taste. But the only unchanged characteristic is that there should be a smooth, dense and thick layer of milk foam, and the overall cup volume is not large. The fourth is the 'highly strategic' INTJ personality. They have forward-looking thinking and are always looking forward and trying to imagine how things will develop. They often act as the 'strategist' in the group and have the talent to discover problems and create original long-term solutions. They are goal-oriented, good at analysis, and have a strong motivation for continuous improvement. For such serious and introverted people, ordinary coffee really cannot catch their eyes. They are a group of people who like to explore the essence of things. Only concentrated coffee suits them. Yes, what they want is the purest and most authentic 'Italian coffee'. Everything is flashy. Only concentrated coffee can heal everything. Moreover, the form of drinking two or three sips is also suitable for them who pursue efficiency. They are the 'hardcore' in drinking coffee. Then let's talk about the IP group, which includes ISTP, INFP, ISFP, and INTP. We have switched to the P-person combination. Let's see what new things will come out. The fifth is the 'coolest personality' ISTP. They like to act according to their own rhythm instead of following social norms and rules. They are eager to learn new things and appreciate those who can directly communicate needs, ideas or feelings. They cannot tolerate busy and redundant repetitive work. They value personal value and their own interests more. Therefore, they must find interests in what they are doing at present. Otherwise, their personal emotions cannot be nourished. For such people, hot coffee is not suitable. What they want is to be cool and super cool. Cold brew coffee is the best choice. The cold brew method is relatively easy to make. Even with a simple home cold brew bottle, you can make a good cold brew. In addition, cold brew is a low-temperature slow extraction process. Put water and coffee powder and put it in the refrigerator. You don't need to care about it. This also conforms to their practicality. The sixth is the 'most empathetic' INFP personality. They are intuitive and have strong empathy. They can easily notice when others are in trouble, have a strong emotional awareness, and are good at finding various ways in which people hide their true pain and distinguishing who is trustworthy and who is not. For such people, mochaccino is the most suitable. Mochaccino is a variant of cappuccino, which is concentrated coffee + milk + milk foam + chocolate sauce. It has a distinct chocolate flavor at the entrance. Compared with mocha coffee, the milk flavor is weaker and there is no cream. So you can feel the sense of boundary between 'black and white' of this coffee. It is sweet and bitter, knowing the cold and the warm. It is INFP! The seventh is the 'with strong aesthetic consciousness' ISFP personality. It is said that people of this type are the most artistic. They like to visit art museums or look at different fashions and have a keen sense of capturing and unique appreciation of colors and designs. They are also very yearning for beautiful things and are often moved by details in the outdoors, wilderness or some beautiful places. These details can inspire their inspiration. Therefore, latte coffee is definitely the best match for them. Because baristas can create various complex latte art patterns on latte, and these patterns are extremely artistic. They will also make some artistic creations such as drawing and even three-dimensional latte art. The eighth is the 'anti-traditional' INTP personality. They like to constantly break through the boundaries of understanding and design new innovative methods to deal with challenges. They are very good at solving problems and have the ability to decompose problems, analyze problems and propose innovative solutions. They love the truth, desire progress and scientific exploration, and often find themselves immersed in a theory or some complex research. Therefore, for such people, coffee with playability and exploration is more suitable. Maybe they will directly say goodbye to coffee made by coffee machines. They will be more inclined to craft coffee, that is, hand brewing. And they will be more inclined to like V60. The reason is that V60 itself seems common and has a high tolerance rate. It is a tool often used for hand brewing by many people. But in the world of V60, the different rib designs inside the filter cup will also bring completely different brewing experiences and directly affect your brewing plan and operation techniques, which greatly stimulates the research nature of INTP. They will definitely find the joy of extracting coffee and the state they enjoy when studying them.
