How Sarcastic Each Personality Type Can Be
Sarcasm can be a bit overwhelming for some people, but for others it is a constant form of communication. Here is how you handle sarcasm based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs are extremely caring people and although they are compassionate and focus strongly on emotions, they are actually very witty. They enjoy researching different subjects and are very knowledgeable individuals. They do not want to be sarcastic in a way that hurts people, but they are generally very sarcastic people. INFJs are not all sunshine and rainbows, and actually do have a dark side to them. INFJs enjoy puns and any sort of comments that can utilize a much darker side to their personality. They enjoy using their words in a clever way, and often truly enjoy sarcasm.

Their cynicism is often what keeps them going, helping them to express themselves and get out their emotions. INFPs are unhappy when they bottle things up for too long, and will often explode if they do this. Sarcasm can sometimes be an outlet for INFPs- a way to let out their feelings, even if those feelings are negative.

They are very intelligent people but will occasionally be sensitive with individuals that they care about.

Sarcasm is something that INTJs excel at, and they often truly enjoy it as a means of communication.
