How Well Each Personality Type Follows Instructions
Following instructions can be a tiresome ordeal, even for those who are skilled at it. Some people are naturally great at following the directions they are given, while others will decide to scrap these instructions altogether. Here is how good each personality type is at following directions.
INFJ
INFJs are often very intelligent people, which makes them capable of comprehending many different things. They can often follow instructions, but might take their own opinions and thoughts into consideration. If someone is far too particular about how they want things, but expects the INFJ to follow these tasks without proper instructions- they will become frustrated. For people who want things done a very specific way, they simple need to be detailed about their instructions. They are smart enough to understand instructions that are given to them, even if they don’t always believe they are the smartest demands. They do have a tendency to become distracted, especially when i comes to performing monotonous tasks.
ENFJ
ENFJs are excellent at receiving instructions, but they are also great at giving them. They often take charge of tasks, and might be able to find a better path to follow. Even if they don’t always get there the exact way they are expected to, the ENFJ will accomplish the task perfectly. If they know that they need to follow the instructions exactly, they will likely be able to do so. They might not enjoy following these instructions, since the ENFJ enjoys following their own path. They are very capable of comprehending many different subjects, and are great at getting things done.
INFP
INFPs may not seem that great at following instructions, especially since their minds are often elsewhere. They are generally skilled at different academic matters, but don’t always execute things that well. It’s not that INFPs are not intelligent, they simple have extremely active minds. The fact that their thoughts are always running through a million different ideas, can often cause the INFP to miss certain steps in the instructions they are given. They might become rather restless or frustrated if someone is taking too long to explain something to them. They often prefer to learn from trial and error, and want to be able to accomplish the task on their own.
ENFP
ENFPs are very intelligent people, but don’t always follow instructions well. They want to try things their own way, and thankfully this way often ends well for them. They are extremely creative, which helps them find ways to get the job done without following the instructions of others. If the ENFP has people who give them enough space to do things their own way, they will often be much more successful. They might not always be the most organized, and they might not always follow instructions exactly- but they will be able to get things accomplished in their own way.
INTJ
INTJs are often very capable of following instructions, and will be able to quickly pick up what someone else is explaining to them. They have the ability to follow instructions very well, but they might not always want to do so. INTJs can often see a better way of getting things done, and might find themselves mulling over different ideas before moving forward. This can cause the INTJ to frustrate others, especially if those people are on the more controlling side. They simple want to take a step back and observe, before jumping into the process. INTJs are smart and independent people, which means they do not take orders very well. They may be very capable of comprehending instructions, but that does not mean they will follow them.

They often prefer to figure things out on their own, and prefer to follow their own path in order to get things done. For the INTP to follow instructions that other people give them, they need to be well thought out and explained properly.
ENTP
ENTPs are easily distracted, which can sometimes give them trouble when it comes to following instructions. If someone is long winded, the ENTP will find themselves wanting to ignore them completely. They are great at coming up with plans and ideas to get things done, they just aren’t always great at executing.
