What are the differences between INFJ-T and INFJ A?

Those two types are worlds apart, and we can’t relate to each other.

INFJ-T have thinned skin, like having a lot of holes in their personal boundaries where stress can easily get thru and they trigger easily (hence the word “turbulent”). That thinned skin makes them get overwhelmed easily and are HSP, that they often dump their stresses and anxieties unto other people to feel good about themselves, they don’t own those stresses anymore because they found a scapegoat.

INFJ-A are much “cooler” in the way they carry themselves, they own a solid personal boundary where everyday stresses bounces off their shield and rarely gets thru. INFJ-A types typically have more intimate relationships (usually with ENTPs, ENFPs, and INTPs) because they are “assertive” at getting their needs met.

INFJ-A types have an internal locus of control (assertive).

INFJ-T types have an external locus of control.
