Here’s How Good You Are at Apologizing, Based on Your Personality Type
Apologizing can be a difficult task for anyone, since it seems to be a rather harsh blow of embarrassment. Some people are much more capable of apologizing than others, and seem to have a natural ability for making amends. Here is how good each personality type is at apologizing.
INFJ

They can struggle to apologize when they don’t feel like they should back down in this way, and would rather avoid the discussion altogether.
INFP
INFPs can be a bit stubborn sometimes, and don’t always see the need for apologizing. Most of their actions are done intentionally, so they can feel just in their choices. When the INFP has upset someone they will likely take the time to consider if it merits an apology or not.
