Interesting observation I did today at personalitypage.com -> Personal Growt section:
There is a paragraph more in the F prefaces to "Potential problem areas" than in the T versions: For instance:
INFP:
INTP:
I found it hilarious for some reason. The person writing it thinking: "Damn, I guess I have to remind them of some of the positive shit I told them if I want to get them to read on. Blasted Fs!" While writing for the Ts it's simply: "Ok, we're all different, yada yada yada, this is the way you should shape up".

Potential Problem Areas
With any gift of strength, there is an associated weakness. Without "bad", there would be no "good". Without "difficult", there would be no "easy". We value our strengths, but we often curse and ignore our weaknesses. To grow as a person and get what we want out of life, we must not only capitalize upon our strengths, but also face our weaknesses and deal with them. That means taking a hard look at our personality type's potential problem areas.
INFPs are rare, intelligent, creative beings with many special gifts. I would like for the INFP to keep in mind some of the many positive things associated with being an INFP as they read some of this more negative material.

We want people to grow into their own potential, and to live happy and successful lives.

When the dominant function of Introverted Feeling overshadows everything else, the INFP can't use Extraverted iNtuition to take in information in a truly objective fashion. In such cases, an INFP may show some or all of the following weaknesses in varying degrees:

Most of the weaker characteristics that are found in INTPs are due to their dominant function of Introverted Thinking overtaking the personality to the point that all of the other functions exist merely to serve the purposes of Introverted Thinking. In such cases, an INTP may show some or all of the following weaknesses in varying degrees:
