I've always thought that I'm an INJ, but after a lot of time in MBTI, I'm still not quite 100% sure on the F/T dichotomy.

Is there any one like "foolproof" way to separate an F and a T?
 
INFJs are empathetic, want personal connection with others, values others in a group, is usually ritual (they love their friends, family, and religions stronger than others), are extremely good team players, and if/when manipulating, goes for the win win situation.

INTJs are extremely direct, organized, and decisive. They value competence in the group and if they do not see immediate competence, they'd rather work alone rather than helping. They are very moral and honorable.

INFJs you may know: Gandalf, Obi Wan, Yoda, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Magneto.
INTJs you may know: Walter White, Vladmir Putin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and like half the super villains you know (the rest are ENTx xD)

INFJs usually look like this: =] (Small smile, like Mona Lisa)
INTJs usually look like this: -_- (This is called the INTJ death stare)
 
Two good questions that I've found can help distinguish between F and T:
(1) Would you tell a white lie to make someone feel better? If you answer yes, you're most likely an F (Fe in particular, which works because you're a Judger).
(2) Do you value justice over mercy? If you answer yes, you're most likely a T.
 
Some more questions:
1) Do you avoid conflicts even if it negatively influences your life? If yes, F
2) Do you often say or think you dont like the tone of someones communication, do you often see insults in "normal" remarks? If yes, F
3) Do you mind blunt answers or crude humor? If yes, F
4) In a relationship do you say i love you a lot (instead of showing love thru action) ? If yes, F
 
Feeling vs thinking is the hardest preference to understand and explain imo.

Myers or Keirsey associated thinking with being "tough minded" and "impersonal".

I also think that feeling is more difficult to understand than thinking. Many people associate feeling with emotion, or emotional expression. But that isn't really true.

To sum it up with rough analogy, using Chess:

Feelers focus on the Chess pieces. Or at least, give the pieces preference. Thinkers focus on the game itself, and then the pieces.
 
Nononono those questions are bad.
Its about Cognitive functions.
I mean an ENTP or even me as an INTP would avoid conflicts if it negatively influences us due to us having Fe.
Especially regarding the white lie part I would do it too like my mom would call asking me if I had cook rice I would just say yes and immediately cook and she would never know anyways. again Fe.

INFJ vs INTJ
Honestly check other MBTI too.
But It is a matter of Fe-Ti vs Te-Fi

Will you hurt somebody's feelings if you see that you have to do it due to him making a mistake?
This is not fool proof but I think it is better.

What goes in your mind most of the time?

Do you care about practicality of a topic? Theory or Practicality which one do you prefer more?

Do you find yourself judging others due to the way they do things or the way they act towards others?
