Lots of good connections. Definitely seems like the majority of INFJs may very well be HSPs. Hard to know if it's all INFJs. I tested as INFJ for several years, though my I/E has balanced out and gone a little into E territory, and my J/P has balanced out and gone ever so slightly into P territory.
You say that most HSPs are either INFJs or INFPs. That cannot be true. INFJs make up 1.5% of all people, and INFPs make up 4.4% of all people, and we know that HSPs make up about 20% of all people. So even if all INFJs and INFPs were HSPs (which isn't necessarily true), that would be 5.9% compared to the 20% -- which would be 29.5% of all HSPs. Those two types might be the most common types for HSPs, but they don't combine to make "most HSPs." 70.5% of HSPs would be some type other than those two, and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that all personality types are represented among HSPs (though I don't think they were necessarily referring specifically to the MBTI).
For all that HSPs have in common, HSPs are a pretty diverse crowd. Which is what you'd expect when 1 out of every 5 people is an HSP :)
