in Function Analysis

As the Jungian intuition functions, Extraverted Intuition (Ne) and Introverted Intuition (Ni) draw a lot focus. Many people desire to be intuitives, but it actually doesn’t stop there. The NJs specifically attract many. This is in part due to the way they’re described, and in part due to the rarity statistics. (I’ll withhold my rant […]

If you Google “signs that you’re an INFP”, you’ll find several articles dedicated to the subject. With that in mind, I decided to start writing a series that takes the opposite approach. So, today, I’ll discussing the signs that someone is NOT the INFP personality type. Of course, with every sign I’ll explain the cognitive […]

in Paid Requests, Significant Figures MBTI Types

A month ago, we received a paid request to analyze the personality type of Magnus Carlsen (who’s typically identified as an ISTP). Magnus Carlsen is definitely a break from the norm for us. Typically, we stick with historical figures, because you can see their entire character arc, so to speak. The book is closed, and […]

The ESTJ is a highly underrated and even demonized personality type, which means that you may be in here in hopes of proving that you’re not one. Or perhaps you’re just hoping to learn more about the ESTJ personality type. Or perhaps you’re an ESTJ coming to fact check me. Either way, my aim is […]

in Fictional Examples, Function Analysis

Introverted Intuition, in the NJs, often gets talked up to point of being described as the bringer of brilliant insight. Now, Ni can certainly be insightful.

I’m going to go ahead and address this question today. […]

If you Google “signs that you’re an ENTJ”, you’ll find several articles dedicated to the subject. However, I prefer focusing on “negative” information, because I personally find it more useful for narrowing down one’s personality type. So, today, I’m going to write an article on the signs that you’re NOT an ENTJ. Bear in mind, […]

in Speculations/Ramblings

I was looking through my archives earlier, and apparently, it’s been around 5 years since the first article on Enneagram. I’ve spent a lot of time since then refining my understanding, and many of my articles throughout the process were written to help parse my thoughts. (I placed very clear disclaimers on the handful of […]

in Paid Requests, Significant Figures MBTI Types

Back in December, we received a Paid Request for a personality analysis of Benjamin Franklin. It me a little longer than usual to write this article because of the holidays, but here it finally is. As per usual, I enjoyed studying Benjamin Franklin as a person, and under the lens of personality theory. He seemed […]

in Personality Theory 101

Recently, we’ve been writing articles focusing on certain character traits such as diffidence and recklessness, and describing how they manifest in the different personality types. In the process, I realized that I would like to write a more generalized article on the difference between someone’s personality type and their character. (This actually goes right in […]
