Here’s How Often You Ask for Help, According to Your Personality Type
While some people struggle when it comes to asking for help, others realize that it is sometimes necessary. Here is how you handle asking for help, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs are independent people, who prefer to handle their problems on their own most of the time. They can struggle when it comes to asking for help, since they don’t want to feel like a burden. INFJs would much rather be the one helping others, and can feel ashamed if they need help for some reason. They strive for perfection in a way that isn’t achievable, which puts a lot of the pressure onto the INFJ. They simply don’t want to do anything that makes life harder for their loved ones, and are always trying to tend to the needs of others.
ENFJ
ENFJs are hardworking people who are always trying to take care of others. They care very much about their loved ones and want to do their best to make them happy. ENFJs will go above and beyond helping others, and truly want to tend to all of their needs. This desire to help others can cause the ENFJ a bit of turmoil when they need help themselves. They will often neglect their own needs for the sake of other people, and have a truly hard time asking for help. ENFJs will try to take care of their problems alone most of the time, and will avoid asking for assistance from others.
INFP
INFPs are independent people, who can put a lot of pressure on themselves. They might have a hard time asking for help, especially when they are younger. Most INFPs as they mature, come to realize that it is important to ask for help when it is needed. Instead of trying to be perfect all of the time, they come to the conclusion that everyone needs a little help. When the INFP trusts someone completely, they will begin to ask that person for help when it is truly needed. They will be there for their loved ones, so there is no reason why they can’t ask for assistance from time to time.
ENFP
ENFPs are certainly independent people, who enjoy being able to take on new challenges. They don’t mind when things get a little difficult, and will see it as an opportunity to grow. In most cases ENFPs want to try things on their own, without rushing to ask for help. They can put a lot of pressure on themselves to do things successfully, and don’t want to feel like they have failed in any way. When the ENFP realizes that they truly need help with something, they will enlist the assistance of someone they trust and depend on.
INTJ
INTJs are very independent people, who prefer to do most things themselves. They are often well prepared and spend a lot of time researching before taking action.

ENTP
