in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Ne: “I wonder if Sasuke’s okay… What if the first Akatsuki hideout we try is a bulls-eye… I dunno. I only said ‘what if?’” “Look, Kabuto, you’re not planning on trying to absorb Sasuke are you? And would that make you Kabuke or Sasuto?” “Now what? Which way do we go? No wait! Let me […]

in Speculations/Ramblings

I’ve seen some people say that to help figure out your type, you should write out your use of each of the four functions that you believe yourself to have. The one with the most “evidence” under it will probably be your dominant, and then the rest should have less and less, scaling downwards according […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types, Typing Dilemmas

There is widespread confusion in the typology community about how to differentiate Ne and Se. We, at PracticalTyping, have already written an article on how to differentiate the ENXPs from the ESXPs, and another article on differentiating the INXPs from the ISXPs. In both of those, and as a general rule on this blog, we […]

in Function Analysis

I’ve been seeing a trend lately that bugs me so I feel compelled to talk about it in depth. There seems to be this belief among high Ti users, or Introverted Thinkers, (specifically the dominants) that Ti possesses perfect logic and only the perceiving functions feeding it information will cause logical flaws or errors in […]

Fi: “No, no I am lost. My wounded heart resides back home in pieces, strewn about the graveyard of my lost love.” “No, I just want to wallow in misery.” “I don’t really like labels. I’m just sort of, like, myself, you know?” Wirt is a highly dramatic individual. He is very serious and introspective. […]

in Stereotypes

Ahhh, stereotypes. The bane of typology’s existence. An article specifically about Ti, or Introverted Thinking, stereotypes was requested many moons ago, and I’ve finally forced myself to sit down and start writing it. (Or, if I’m being honest, Ryan strongly encouraged me to.) Here’s the problem with an article about Ti stereotypes: it’s one of […]

in Personality Theory 101

I’d like to share an outlook with everyone. I have no clue how many other people approach typology this way, but I feel like it would do a lot by way of seeing past stereotypes and bias. While I certainly can’t dismiss stereotypes as completely false and the general type descriptions do have value, they […]

in Self-Development

All types can bump up against motivation struggles. I think it’s assumed that certain types will struggle more than others, and maybe that’s true, but I don’t think anyone is immune. I’ve seen quite a few ISTPs complain about struggling to motivate themselves, especially in school. So, I’m just going to talk about how I […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Ti: “Knights call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some sacred nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions created by heroes throughout history have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this glory and honor they all extol.” “The ability to pull a […]

in Stereotypes

I thought I’d take the time out to dedicate an article to a very common stereotype: ISTJs being sticklers for the rules and traditions. You’ve all heard of this, right? Pop onto a ‘type me’ thread and the most common evidence you’ll see laid out as proof of not being an ISTJ is not caring […]
