in Personality Theory 101

If you’ve been studying personality theory for any length of time, maybe terms like “gripping” and “looping” came to mind when you read my title: “6 States of Personality Type Development.” If that’s the case, you’re not wrong. Those are included in this article. However, there are states beyond just those two. For instance, here, […]

It’s been a busy month. We have done way less writing than intended, which is why the list at the bottom of this page will be sparse. However, we are excited to share that we’ve finally released an initial, beta version of our personality test, which you can find here: https://practicaltyping.com/free-personality-test/.  A link to it […]

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Beth Harmon, from The Queen’s Gambit, is almost exclusively typed as an INTJ, although there is a small group that theorizes ISTP. After watching the series, I decided to put forward my take on this character’s Myers-Briggs personality type (referred to as MBTI). I will share my conclusion somewhere farther down the page. First, I’d […]

Isn’t this all just pseudoscience? Does it really have any value? Am I just spinning my wheels over some pointless, useless theory? Should I just give up on personality theory altogether and move on with my life? There are a wealth of personality theories out there, such as Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, Socionics, etc. There are so […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Attack on Titan has a variety of characters with a wide of range of Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI). Back when we first watched Attack on Titan, I read an interesting theory that posited that Jean Kirstein is an INTJ. I latched onto it a little too quickly, because, well, it was interesting. […]

People constantly question if their personality type can change, especially those who are new to the theory. They’ll say something like this: “Last year, when I took a personality test, I got INFP, but this year I got INTP: did my personality type change?” Of course, you can insert any variation of personality types, time […]

Potential ISTJs or ISFJs may find themselves asking the question: “What is an inferior Ne grip state?” If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. Inferior functions are one of the things people go to when trying to narrow down their personality type absolutely. After all, if you can’t figure out your greatest strength, […]

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Parks and Recreation is an entertaining show with a variety of characters to appreciate. After watching almost the entire show, I thought it would be fun to discuss the Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI) of the main Parks and Recreation characters. There is definitely some personality bleed happening though, which dissuaded me from […]

in Function Analysis, Jungian Theory

Descriptions of Introverted Thinking (Ti) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne) frequently get intermingled or blended together. Perhaps that seems odd, since one is a thinking function and one an intuition function. However, since every person is a mix of four cognitive functions, it happens all the time. As an individual, in my own personal thinking, it […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably realize that we’ve published an article analyzing Aoi Todo before, only last time we theorized him to be the ENFJ Myers-Briggs personality type (colloquially known as MBTI). However, one day, it occurred to use that Aoi Todo’s personality goes completely against what Fe is. He […]
