The stressed personality is always a weak/fragile/brittle version of an adjacent personality type that others do more comfortably/natively. So a good way to suss it out is to ask "what is this behavior a bad/incompetent version of?"

not all stress is equal, in my experience. behavior under financial stress has long been my model.

Agreed, this is a highly situationist model. Often the transition is the same but is wildly variable in appropriateness to the stressor. Going "weak hedgehog" for me is good when workflow chaos is mounting, but not a good response to emotional trauma for example.

I do wonder, though. Stress comes in many colours. I am, presumably, an INTJ who has handled brief and sudden peak stress situations —armed assault, say— with life-saving resourcefulness, but who has also fallen to pieces when faced with lesser stakes.

Nor could I have predicted my peak stress reaction before experiencing it.
