Here’s How You Feel About Cliques, Based on Your Personality Type

Cliques can sometimes be viewed as something negative, but in truth it is simply a group of people with similar likes and dislikes. Some people are not interested in being a member of clique, since it can feel excluding to some and a bit too high maintenance. For others this idea of being a part of a group of people who share their interests, is truly rewarding. Here is how you feel about cliques, based on your personality type.

 

INFJ

INFJs aren’t usually cliquey people, and can become annoyed by this sometimes. They dislike the feeling of being excluded, and don’t want to upset anyone by this. While INFJs usually try to avoid cliquey behaviors, there are some times in their lives when they can get sucked into it. If they are close to a group of people they can become a bit protective over these relationships, which can make them nervous to include others. INFJs simply don’t like losing something special when they have found it, and can be a bit protective of these relationships.

ENFJ

ENFJs can sometimes be cliquey people, since they are protective of their loved ones. Having a group of close friends who they feel bonded to, is truly valuable for them. They don’t often intend to be mean to others who aren’t members of their cliques, they merely enjoy having a group that is all their own. ENFJs are still kind people who will be friendly to just about everyone they meet, this is simply a part of who they are. ENFJs like feeling like they are a member of a group or clique sometimes, since it gives them a sense of value in their circle of friends.

INFP

INFPs are rarely cliquey people, and might find this a bit obnoxious. They don’t like this feeling of segregating people and excluding ones that don’t quite fit. INFPs are more like to band together with a crowd of “misfits” and might feel more comfortable with these people who don’t quite fit in. INFPs don’t enjoy anything that makes others feel less than worth it, and so cliques can feel a bit pointless and even cruel to them at times.

ENFP

ENFPs can be drawn into cliques when they are younger, since they have a strong desire to fit in. During this time they likely enjoy the idea of being in a group and being someone that others consider an important member. They simply want to have friends and get along with everyone, and crave this sense of connection. When they are older ENFPs might pull away from the clique idea, wanting to seek out new friends and people who they feel more similar to.

 

INTJ

INTJs don’t usually like the idea of cliques, and find them a bit pointless in theory. While they might consider this to be a bit foolish, they can still wind up in what could be considered a clique. This is often because INTJs don’t let people into their world all that easily, and prefer to be sure about them before getting too close. They might end up putting together something of a clique, since they can be a bit exclusive with their friendships.

ENTJ

ENTJs don’t like to be seen as cliquey people, but they can be sometimes. They might have a bit of an elitist attitude when it comes to their friendships, and don’t like letting just anyone into their group. This isn’t done to be cruel, they just are a bit picky with who they trust and get close to. This is because ENTJs value their relationships and want to be sure to cultivate bonds that will last a lifetime. When they care for someone this is something they take seriously, and loyalty is very important to the ENTJ.

INTP

INTPs aren’t usually cliquey people, and can actually become a bit drained by this type of environment. They are often more of the one-on-one kind of person, enjoying these closer bonds. They might be involved in a clique at some point in their lives, but the dynamic can be a bit too much drama for them after a while. INTPs are often happier with more personal friendships, and can feel like the clique mentality is just a waste of their energy.

ENTP

ENTPs can sometimes participate in cliques, mostly out of curiosity of how this will work. They are friendly and outgoing and enjoy getting together with a group of close friends. They also do enjoy being able to cultivate a group that shares the same interests, and this often feels like a great way to participate in the same activities together. ENTPs can be a bit clique sometimes, but this is often more about the desire to experience how this group dynamic will work for them.

 

ISTJ

ISTJs can sometimes be drawn to cliques, since it gives them a sense of community in some ways. Having a clique of friends who share similar interests and each hold a specific place in the group, can be beneficial for the ISTJ. They don’t like when they cliques involve too much drama, but they can often be good at ignoring this. For them it is more about bringing together people who share the same interests and can easily connect with one another.

ESTJ

ESTJs do sometimes enjoy the idea of a clique, since it gives them a sense of community with their friends. Having a clique makes them feel like there is a sense of exclusivity, which for the ESTJ is often appealing. Being an important and valued member of their group is something that the ESTJ believes is important and truly rewarding. Cliques for them are about bringing together a close knit group of friends who can enjoy doing the same things together.

ISFJ

ISFJs do have moments where they can be a bit cliquey, but this is only because they are protective of their friends. They enjoy having a group of friends and family who are bonded together and loyal to one another. They value this time of connection and don’t want to do anything to jeopardize it. For the ISFJ it isn’t about excluding others, it is about cultivating these relationships and valuing them above everything else.

ESFJ

ESFJs can sometimes be a bit cliquey, since they enjoy being around people that share similar interests. They can also be a bit protective of their friends, and want to feel important to them. They don’t like excluding people though, and still want to be friendly and kind to others. For ESFJs it is more about creating a group of close knit friends who share the same interests and who are completely loyal to one another no matter what.

 

ISTP

ISTPs aren’t usually interested in cliques, and can actually find them a bit obnoxious. Having to adhere to a certain group dynamic can be draining for ISTPs, since they often prefer one-on-one connections. They can be picky about who they get close to, but this isn’t often done in a way that is cliquey. This is because they simply want to find the right people who actually understand them and can connect with them.

ESTP

ESTPs aren’t cliquey most of the time, and can find the idea of cliques a bit obnoxious. ESTPs can sometimes become drawn towards the misfits, since they don’t like the idea of having to fit into other people’s expectations. They aren’t usually interested in cliques, since it can feel like a pointless popularity contest which they rarely want to deal with.

ISFP

ISFPs aren’t usually cliquey people, and can find this a bit draining at times. They enjoy having friends and making connections with people from many different groups. ISFPs are often more interested in one-on-one time, and would rather be close to people on a more personal level. While they can become friends with groups of people, they rarely consider themselves a part of a clique.

ESFP

ESFPs can sometimes be cliquey people, since they enjoy the idea of being someone others look up to and admire. While they might find themselves as a member of a clique, they are often friendly with others and like to be nice to just about everyone. ESFPs want to make friends whenever they can, which makes it hard for them to really remain in just one clique.
