Which MBTI personality types are the most prone to feeling like outcasts?

  • Since the population is composed of 70% sensors (40% of whom are SJs), iNtuitives are more likely to feel like outcasts than sensors are just because of sheer volume.
  • INxx types, being both introverts and iNtuitives, will feel this most acutely.
  • NJs are the rarest temperament, and Ni-doms (INFJs and INTJs) are the least common of those.
  • INFJs are the rarest overall (1.4%), but split by gender, the rarest types are INTJ and ENTJ females (0.8% of the population each).
  • Types for whom it is common to have a 4w5 or 5w4 enneagram (INFP, INTP, ISFP, INFJ, INTJ, and sometimes ISTP and ENFP) will feel more like outcasts as well.

Overall, I would be willing to bet that male INFJs and female INTJs would be the types most likely to feel like outcasts. Female 5w6 INTJs would have it pretty rough since they meet almost none of the requirements that society expects from women, but they’re also Fi users, so it matters less to them what others think than what they think of themselves. Male 4w5 INFJs, on the other hand – due to their enneagram type, as well as being Fe users – would be much more compelled to find a way to feel understood by others, but would often be left disappointed in their search since very few people can. So they would probably have it worse than female INTJs.
