Here’s How You Handle City Living, Based on Your Personality Type

While some people are just better suited for city life, each type has their own way of responding to it. Whether you choose to live in the city or not, there are definite benefits and setbacks for each personality type. Here is how you most likely handle city living, based on your personality type.

 

INFJ

INFJs often enjoy certain aspects of city life, especially in areas that possess a lot of independence and uniqueness. It can feel nice to be around a larger group of people, since this allows the INFJ to find more like-minded companions. They can sometimes feel different from others, and it can be challenging to meet people who understand or at least appreciate who they are. A struggle for INFJs is being around crowds of people, and having to encounter others on a constant basis. They might end up trying to recluse themselves inside a bit, in order to get that much needed alone time. Getting space and quiet can be challenging for them in the city, which is definitely a setback.

ENFJ

ENFJs might enjoy the city because of all of the options they have available to them. Being able to get up and do fun things with their loved ones is definitely enjoyable. They often like being able to meet new people as well, since ENFJs are social and friendly people. For the ENFJ having different opportunities and activities at their disposal can definitely be a benefit of living in the city. They like being able to connect with others, and get up late at night to go have something to eat if they so choose. They often enjoy the fast-paced aspect of city living, they just need to find the right city that fits them.

INFP

INFPs enjoy being able to connect with people who understand them, but this can be hard for them in smaller towns. While the INFP might enjoy the opportunities and openness in cities, they can become overwhelmed with the clutter and noise. Not being able to really find time to themselves can be challenging for the INFP, so living in the city means they need to find space where they can get away from the people and the noise. The best things about city living for the INFP is the opportunities and the new experiences, and being able to do things without feeling constantly judged for being different.

ENFP

There are definitely aspects of city living that the ENFP will enjoy, mostly it is having many different options. ENFPs hate stagnancy, and sometimes living in the country only gives them a small amount of activities that they can dive into. Living in a city where they can experience new things and enjoy different activities, is definitely a plus for the ENFP. They also enjoy being able to make new friends and connections, and the city offers these opportunities. The only struggle the ENFP might have is when they lose patience with people who are rude or selfish, and this definitely is something they will encounter being around so many people.

 

INTJ

INTJs often do enjoy city living, as long as they have an apartment that can get away from the noise. Possibly somewhere high up, or well soundproofed so that they can get some peace and quiet. INTJs do need silence sometimes, and need to be able to shut the world out. The reason INTJs might enjoy city living, is the many opportunities and access to mental stimulation. Being able to visit museums or potential conventions that fit their interests, is definitely enjoyable for the INTJ. As long as they can get the silence and time alone that they truly need, the INTJ will be happy in the city,

ENTJ

ENTJs often do well with city living, since it gives them a chance to meet new people and experience things that stimulate them. ENTJs don’t like feeling stuck in one place and constantly want to be improving their lives. Having different chances to network and grow their lives is definitely something that they enjoy about living in the city. When the ENTJ is stuck in a small town with zero chances to expand, is definitely stifling for them. ENTJs do need space to themselves, but they can find this in their own way even in the city.

INTP

For the INTP the most important part of city living is finding the right city that they connect with. They enjoy being able to experience new things and not feeling trapped in the same place. Living in small towns can be stifling for the INTP, especially since they struggle to feel understood. When they live in a city it gives them more opportunities to find people they can connect with who might actually understand them and accept them for who they are. INTPs just need to be able to disappear sometimes, and get away from the city and the noise.

ENTP

ENTPs enjoy being able to experience new things and truly hate standing still. Being able to have different opportunity available to them is something that helps keep the ENTPs mind stimulated in a positive way. They need to find other people who they can connect with, and who share these similar interests. Being in the city definitely helps the ENTP feel open to these chances, and is often very enjoyable for them. Small towns can feel a bit stagnant for them, which is challenging for the ENTP.

 

ISTJ

ISTJs don’t mind the city life, especially if it gives the opportunities to expand their careers. For ISTJs the constantly noise and crowds can be overwhelming though. They often prefer to have space to do their own things and be on their own when they need. For the ISTJ somewhere in between a city and small town, is often ideal. They enjoy having chances to grow and improve their lives, but they also struggle when they have to constantly deal with people. Traffic is likely one of the most frustrating things for the ISTJ, making cities a bit annoying.

ESTJ

ESTJs enjoy being able to have options and a chance to grow, which helps them when it comes to the city. ESTJs can become overwhelmed by too many people though, and this can cause them to lose their patience. ESTJs enjoy being able to have their own space, and having to wait for others can be rather annoying. Standing in life, or having to wait in traffic, are things that will likely cause the ESTJ added stress. City life might be a bit annoying for the ESTJ, but at the same time they like having options.

ISFJ

ISFJs can sometimes feel overwhelmed and drained by city life. The struggles for them are from the fact that they need peace and quiet to recharge. Living in the city might cause the ISFJ to feel constantly exposed to people and interactions that overwhelm them. They are often adaptable people, but living in the smaller town or a more laid back place, is often more beneficial for them. ISFJs often want to settle down and build a family, sometimes the idea of living in a city doesn’t fully support that in their minds.

ESFJ

ESFJs enjoy being able to connect with others, and they also enjoy sharing experiences with their loved ones. They enjoy certain aspects of city living, mostly the activities and experiences. They like being able to meet new people and make connections with others who share similar interests. The setbacks of living in the city are that ESFJs might not feel this is an ideal place to create a family. They often dream of having a family and might consider that a smaller place with less people is more ideal.

 

ISTP

ISTPs need plenty of time to themselves, which can make city living a bit overwhelming. ISTPs often enjoy being able to live in the city, but they don’t like standing still. They might like to move around and try traveling to new places in order to find which one truly feel right. ISTPs are happiest when they can experience new things and live in the present without having anything holding them back.

ESTP

ESTPs enjoy living in the moment, and because of this they want to experience new and exciting things. For the ESTP stagnancy is often the world, which is why small towns are rarely right for them. While they might not want to live in a major city, a decent sized city can be enjoyable for them. Being able to have many different activities at their disposal is definitely something that they will be inspired by.

ISFP

ISFPs enjoy being able to experience new things, and sometimes the small town can be stifling for them. In really small towns the ISFP often feel strapped and misunderstood. When they live in a city they can meet new people who might understand them or at least appreciate their differences. As long as the ISFP has time to themselves with some peace and quiet, then they will often take well to city living.

ESFP

ESFPs enjoy being able to experience new things and often live their lives in the present. When the ESFP is stagnant for too long they feel trapped and miserable. The city can often give them a chance to dive into new experiences and activates, which is definitely exciting for the ESFP. They also like being able to meet new people and make connections wherever they go. As long as the ESFP has people they love around them, they will take well to the city.
