Personality typing, like Myers-Briggs and any 16 types variant, is often dismissed as pseudoscience. However, pseudoscience or not, it does have daily, practical value.  As a tool for understanding people, personality typing is especially applicable in the workplace, where it’s critical to be able to work effectively with others.

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Naruto is a classic anime series with a wealth of identifiable Myers-Briggs personality types (often referred to as MBTI).

Most people identify Hashirama as the ENFP personality type, and we agree that that theory makes the most sense. […]

in Personality Theory 101

So many times I’ve seen people make the mistake of assuming intelligent people must be thinkers. Now, I’ll admit that the terminology MBTI uses is kind of… misleading. Judgers are not always “judgemental” in the traditional sense, just like some perceivers can be very judgemental. Thinkers do, in fact, feel, and feelers also think. Our […]
