Dual (One or more preferences that fall in the middle):

The INFP/INTP is a rare combination but if one possess an equal preference for the F and T they will have an easier time navigating relationships because they will have an easier time connecting emotionally to others. They also will be more observant and compassionate.

An INFP/ISFP combination may display characteristics in being less imaginative than the strong or moderate INFP. ISFP’s are generally more literal and have less patience for abstract ideas or theories. An example of this would be along the lines of finding a topic interesting and personally relevant but may not feel the need to discuss the theme.
