First of all, thank you anon. There actually a few reasons for that:

A very significant part of the MBTI community are INFJs: This means this type is idealised (because who would not think their type is special because it’s their type?). Therefore, the whole “special snowflake” concept was born out of people who felt so special, unique and original they had to share just how individual they were on the Internet. The truth is, every teenager feels this way and MBTI was the ultimate tool for the “No one understands me” complex, resulting in the INFJ stereotype. 

INFJs are uncommon in real life: This resulted in the uniqueness associated with this type, which was sort of an unicorn in real life and which fueled people who thought of them as something beyond mundane.

INFJs have Ni as their dominant function: With the massive Intuitive and Introvert bias that exists in Tumblr, of course the Introverted Intuition would be the most appreciated function. To go along with that, Ni has always being misunderstood as the mystic function which predicts the future magically, therefore those with this ability are permanently contemplating the inevitable death of our universe if you listen to the stereotypes.

In the end, no one really understands just how amazing INFJs are beyond those stereotypes and settle for romanticising them for reasons that are more related to personal experiences than for actual characteristics of this type. So, anon, you are an awesome INFJ and I’m with you in the fight against those stereotypes.

What (MBTI/ enneagram/ tritype/ instinctual variants etc) type do you think sounds most like this person?:

-will tell her whole life story to complete strangers (like employees in random places)

-constantly blames others for own mistakes

-very loving but wants some kind of reward for it

-hyperactive as a child, introverted as an adult. Aggressive both as a child and an adult

-often the first one to know e.g. who the murderer in a movie is or who someone is talking to on the phone. Doesn’t understand how others don’t come to these conclusions that fast

-good at multitasking

-low key paranoid but very loyal

I typed her as an INFJ 1w2 162 so/sp before but what confuses me is the MBTI. People who knew her as a child always describe her as very extroverted, active and somewhat aggressive. But at the same time she always had the ability to “predict the future” (you know what I mean…) that’s typical for Ni.
