Are NFP's more gullible than the NFJ's? Why do you think this is so?
My guess would be that NFP's have a tendency to believe others have good intentions within, while NFJ's are more likely to see motives much more realistically.
I feel I can be both extremely gullible and on other occasions, feel something is slightly off about what a person says and not trust them. Because this is feeling based instead of factually based, I can look back on my feelings from that past moment of distrust and wonder if it really had any grounding in reality (distrust my own feelings). Then I feel completely stupid that I made such an assumption when it could be entirely wrong. At times I find myself completely unsure of how to feel towards people because of this.
How do NFPs and NFJs read people, and what people say, differently?
