INFJs, trough the use of dominant Ni, possess the same abstract perception of reality that INTJs do. The "problem" arises with their aux. use of Fe, which unlike Te, doesn't classify their perceptions as a possible truth, be instead applies it as the truth. Not only does it seek to classify something as either "good" or "bad", it also seeks to apply this perception to other people. INFJs suffer from a limited view of the possibilities in this aspect, and it has led to a lot of conflict between myself and others. They perceive something as the truth and likewise any other view, however plausible is ruled out and met with extreme resistance. Disagree with an INFJ and they will likely tell you that you "have no conceince", because any view they take has to be the ultimate moral truth. I've noted that INFJs are among the types that are least likely to be able to weigh a reality in an objective manner.
I don't know what you are talking about. INTJs tend to think they have the best possible truth whereas INFJs generally dismiss the idea of truth altogether. I may argue my point of view, but that is all it is. There are no qualitative absolute truths in this world. In essence, INTJs are more obsessed with proving to everyone that they are right, whereas INFJs are more obsessed with proving that no person is ever completely right. NiTe builds a case for the best possible "truth", NiFe argues that people are fallible and truth is subjective. Hence why INTJ/INFJ arguments tend to go on so long. The INTJ is dedicated to arguing that their position is the "right" one and the INFJ is dedicated to proving that the INTJ's position is not completely right.
