Introjection MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Introjection? Introjection is an ESFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - - 469 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, in Socionics.
Introjection is when a person accepts the thoughts or expectations of others and makes them a part of his personality (Fe-Si). It is one of the coping mechanisms proposed by Sigmund Freud. It is also considered to be the opposite of reflection, which is another concept in psychology. In the process of introspection, the person does not question the thought he has adopted or questions it very little. In other words, accepting your friends' ideas as logical after some thought is not an example of introversion. (Ti-inf) On the other hand, it is a kind of introversion for children to accept their parents' political views, taboos about sex, or perspectives on gender roles without question. (Si-aux, Ti-inf) The child who adopts such thoughts cannot separate these thoughts from his personality even in adulthood. (Si-aux) This defense mechanism clearly defines the ESFJ. A Fi-dom has more of a self, and it doesn't change easily under outside influence. But we can't say the same for a Fe-dom, especially an ESFJ because of the Si-aux.
Biography
Instead of repelling critical information and negative experiences that can cause a person anxiety or pain, individuals fully absorb, internalize, and incorporate it into their sense of self. Introjection occurs when a person takes stimuli in their environment and adopts them as their own ideas. This may involve internalising criticism from another person and believing the other person’s points to be valid. A person may introject religious ideas that they have heard at church, or political opinions that friends espouse. Behavior can also be introjected - the mannerisms of a father may be observed by his son and then replicated.
