Both INTJs and INFJs are known for their strong intuition, but they use it in different ways due to their unique cognitive function stacks.
INTJs (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) have dominant Introverted Intuition (Ni) and auxiliary Extraverted Thinking (Te). Ni allows them to see patterns, connections, and future possibilities, making them skilled strategic thinkers and long-term planners. They can often predict outcomes and see the underlying meaning or implications of events.
INFJs (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging) have dominant Introverted Intuition (Ni) and auxiliary Extraverted Feeling (Fe). Like INTJs, they also possess strong intuitive capabilities, but they primarily use it to understand people, empathize with others, and grasp the emotional dynamics of situations. INFJs are known for their insight into human behavior and their ability to deeply understand and connect with others on an emotional level.
So, it's not accurate to say that one type has "better" intuition than the other. The way they apply their intuition differs, with INTJs using it more in the realms of strategy and long-term planning, while INFJs apply it more to understand and relate to people and their emotions. Both types have valuable and unique strengths related to their intuition, and their effectiveness depends on the context and the specific situation they find themselves in.
