They’re all equally important. The fun part is when they’re combined in different ways.

Do you mean function or dichotomy? What you listed are dichotomies.

In terms of dichotomies, there are different schools of thought about which one makes the most difference. Some people such as David Keirsey believe N/S makes the most difference, while others such as Dario Nardi believe J/P makes the most difference. Personally I lean more toward Keirsey on this, although I really do think it varies from individual to individual and how strong they are in each letter.

In terms of functions...well, if there was a most important function that would imply that certain types are objectively superior to others, which would make MBTI a hierarchical system instead of a classification system. This isn't to say that I haven't seen some people try to turn it into a hierarchical system, but when they do they end up coming off as jerks imo.

I started to answer then I realized I don't know what you mean by important? The most important for what...?

I'm also not sure if this is an INFJ-specific question or not?

ESTP because they don't ask these obscene questions.

There literally isn't one. They're all equally UNimportant.

If you think there is one that is the most important then I feel like you don't actually get what mbti is.

what's more

it is clear that T/F Or s/n are the most important but the question is whether of them is more important ?

By "important" do you mean which one makes the biggest difference?

This is as ridiculous as the last one:

Are the ENTJ and ESTJ are still the best matches in pschologists choice for infps and isfps ? If yes , Someone needs to change it , This match made in hell , and it is not going well usually ( ENTJ - INFP , ESTJ - ISFP ) Someone need to change it and did they changed it already ?
