in Personality Theory 101

Someone typed me as an (insert Myers-Briggs personality type here), but I just donโ€™t feel like I fit the personality type description. Did they mess up?

Myers-Briggs Types in Suits: Mike Ross (INFP)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Suits has several characters with identifiable Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI). For the record, we struggled a bit with Mike because he seems to blur the lines between ISFP and INFP. (The photographic/perfect memory trait makes him a bit of a Gary Stu.)

6 Extraverted Thinking (Te) Stereotypes

in Stereotypes

Iโ€™ve had Extraverted Thinking (Te) on the brain lately. To my knowledge, there arenโ€™t a bunch of Te stereotypes, but the ones that exist are misleading enough to cause significant confusion. We see a lot of Te users who canโ€™t settle on a type because nothing quite seems to fit. Certain personality traits have become [โ€ฆ]

Ti vs. Fi: Morality and Values

in Function Analysis

Iโ€™ve struggled for a long time to try to distinguish the morality of Introverted Feeling, or Fi, from the morality of Introverted Thinking, or Ti. Introverted Thinkers, or Ti users, have a reputation of being morally gray: the rogues and the bounty hunters. Amoral. However, this stereotype is largely driven by fiction. I know plenty [โ€ฆ]

Attributes of the Top 4 Functions

in Personality Theory 101

Cognitive functions are complicated and confusing. This is a fact. This is why everyone argues over them, and this is why newcomers to the 16 personalities start with the dichotomies, and some of those infamously bad personality tests. Itโ€™s the easy, and fun way to dip oneโ€™s toe in, at the beginning. I see people [โ€ฆ]

7 Extraverted Intuition (Ne) Stereotypes

in Stereotypes

Granted, Iโ€™m generally pretty bad at completing series, so itโ€™s no surprise that there are a million potential holes I could be filling in Practical Typingโ€™s archives. However, while I was mulling over a potential article subject [โ€ฆ]
