So I want to type my parents and see what people assume they are.
Dad:
My father is highly social, he's that person who can easily start a conversation with anyone...even a random guy on his way to a store. He likes saying hey to people when he sees them, as a young person he had a lot of friends and went out to parties. He was involved in sports mostly and do alright in terms of academics.
He is very detailed oriented, so for example he can notice a speck of dust on a chair and he has to immediately clean it. He's the type that tends to look really into small details instead of just forgetting them. He is also in a way controlling for example when he cooks, everything must be done a certain way no other ways. I mean everything to how he holds the knife, to how he heats the pan. My dad isn't the most adaptable and likes things to be planned a lot, he doesn't like events that happen last minute. If I want to go out to a friend's house he likes to know 2 weeks in advance (if I can). He's also highly routined, he likes things to be in the same order each day (to an extent) he doesn't to be late to things, he always wakes up really early and starts getting to work. He hates being idle, so he enjoys doing things like cleaning or something to keep busy.
In terms of other things, he is in a way sensitive, if people ignore him he feels as if the people do not care nor like him. For example if calls people down for dinner and they do not come on time, he feels disrespected. My father likes to do things such build airplanes (model) and cook. He enjoys subjects like chemistry, history and sciences. He also likes sports a lot too.

Mom:
My mom is an introvert, she doesn't really talk as much as my father. She is not so detailed oriented, honestly she does not sweat the small stuff. Yes she likes things to be clean but she's not as picky as my father when it comes to thing. My mom also likes to spend time watching random documentaries on Youtube. As a young person my mother was very academic she enjoys studying and would always calculate her grades and try to be the highest in a class. She also likes sciences but also likes arts too. My mom is not as picky when it comes to going out plans, she does not need to every single piece of information, so for her telling just the time and the place is fine. Compared to my dad that wants to know: who is there, how will you get home, how are you paying etc. My mom is also good at improvising, an example is if shes cooking and does not have the right ingredient she will just use an alternative, my father needs everything as the book says and he follows it to a tee. My mother does follow a recipe but she can also make her own twist on things. I find my mom a lot more creative than my father. My dad is good at doing things with his hands but my mom is good at the idea part. (She also can draw too ) My mom also does not get mad with tiny things, if its something such as I fail a test or something really big she will be pissed but something as simple as not picking up after myself she does not fuss about it not like my father who has a reaction.

So in that description what type do you think my parents are?

Father: ESxJ
Mother: INFx
I would guess your dad is ESFJ or possibly ESTJ. Your mom is trickier. Does she make decisions based on her feelings? Does she also like to improvise when it comes to making plans or going places? Maybe an INP type? Or possibly INFJ? Or an ISP (although the stereotype says they don't like schooling but I know some who do enjoy academia)

My guesses based on the information given would be ESFJ for dad and INFJ for mom.

She makes decisions based of her own feelings.. yeah shes logical but she likes to look at things through how it would suit her best.
She prefers planning but isn't crazy into it like my dad.
Honestly she's hard to type cause shes very secretive too.. does not really say much a
one thing is she works a lot.. woman doesn't know how to relax even on her sick days off she still works...
