in Typing Dilemmas

Any personality type that claims both introversion and intuition is often perceived as highly desirable. In other words, if someone takes a personality test and manages to achieve one of the INXX types as their result, they are usually quite pleased. These types typically get described as rare, abstract, imaginative, creative, curious, big picture thinkers, […]

in Typing Dilemmas

Struggling between an introverted personality type and it’s extraverted counterpart is common. Most healthy people are ambiverts in their daily lives, so it can be natural to question whether you are an extravert or an introvert in the realm of typology. ENFP versus INFP is one such dilemma. Many NFPs find themselves uncertain as to […]

In the past, I’ve put significant effort into explaining inferior Fe in a personalized way, which isn’t exactly an easy or natural thing for me. However, I did realize at a certain point that sometimes inferior Fe gets generally confused with social anxiety. (A lot of people can relate to some general insecurities that inferior […]

in Self-Development

Self-development hasn’t been a subject we’ve focused on too heavily here. It’s not that we don’t find it important; it’s just that Ryan and I tend to be more naturally inclined towards the analytical and technical stuff. However, using personality theory for self-development is important, so after receiving a request from one of our loyal […]

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Of course, after blogging about personality theory for over three years, we naturally analyze characters every time we watch anything, […]

However, after studying the character closely, given his history and initial unhealthy state, I believe ISFJ is actually more accurate. The […]

in Video Game MBTI Types

Miles Edgeworth is one of several characters that was requested from Ace Attorney. I considered different Myers-Briggs personality types for Miles Edgeworth, but eventually landed on INTJ. He seemed like a fairly classic case. Bear in mind, we based this off of the video games, not the anime. It’s possible that Miles Edgeworth has a […]

Godot is one of several characters that was requested from Ace Attorney. I considered different Myers-Briggs personality types for Godot, but eventually landed on ENTP. He seemed like a fairly classic case. Bear in mind, we based this off of the video games, not the anime. It’s possible that Godot has a different Myers-Briggs personality […]
