Just How Dogged You Are, Based on Your Personality Type
Some people are extremely persistent and even to a point where it becomes stubbornness. They go after what they want without allowing anything to stand in their way, and this can be to such a powerful degree that it seems a bit intense to those around them. Here is how dogged you can be, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs can certainly be persistent people, but it might not reach the level of dogged. They are capable of taking a step back and looking at the situation from a more objective point of view. INFJs don’t like feeling as if they are pushing too far or too hard for something when they could be negatively affecting others because of it. INFJs do have a tenacious and persistent side to them when something is deeply important, but this only carries into the things which hold a true meaning to them.

When they are connected to something and believe it is the right thing to do, they can be unbelievably persistent.
ENFP
ENFPs can definitely be persistent to the point of dogged, and they certainly have a stubborn side.
