Extraverted Sensing, or Se, is one of the eight cognitive functions laid out by Carl Jung. The cognitive functions are the basic building blocks for each of the 16 personality types. Exploring Extraverted Sensing (Se) is the fifth installment of this series. If you want to read the previous ones, check out Exploring Extraverted Intuition […]

A little over a year ago, I started casually looking into Enneagram. I believe this article, Enneagram vs. the 16 Types, marks the beginning phase of my research. Although, I almost hate to use the word “research”, because it was such a casual thing for me. I mostly wanted to dip my toe in, so […]

Extraverted Thinking, or Te, is one of the eight cognitive functions laid out by Carl Jung. The cognitive functions are the basic building blocks for each of the 16 personality types. Exploring Extraverted Thinking (Te) is the fourth installment of this series. If you want to read the previous ones, check out Exploring Extraverted Intuition […]

Exploring the inferior functions, like inferior Si vs inferior Ni is a great way to approach discovering your own type, if looking at the dominant and auxiliary functions is failing you. I have seen so many people question if they are a Ne dominant (ENFP/ENTP) or a Se dominant (ESFP/ESTP). We have written an article […]

in Personality Bleed

As with our last major series, we’re going to close out the Hunter X Hunter marathon with a Personality Bleed article. (Although, can it really be called a marathon if the articles have been so delayed? Meh.) I don’t always feel compelled to write Personality Bleed articles, but Hunter X Hunter stood out to me. […]

Hunter X Hunter has a wealth of characters to dig into and analyze. Unfortunately, not all warrant an individual analysis. The show could only focus on so many characters, so certain ones end up with limited screen time. Of course, this doesn’t always mean those characters are impossible to identify; there just isn’t enough evidence […]

Fi: “I don’t need you to tell me who I am.” “Do you know how it felt? It felt like that.” “Ultron doesn’t know the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Wonder where he gets that from.” “I used to think of myself one way, but after this, I am something else. And […]

Comparing inferior functions, like inferior Se and inferior Ne, can be a surprisingly helpful way to resolve personality type dilemmas. While perusing typology communities, I often see people question if they’re an INFJ or an ISFJ, or similarly, an INTJ or an ISTJ. Even among those who’ve already settled on one of the Ni dominants […]

Leorio is often typed as an ESFJ, but in our opinion, that contradicts the evidence. I’m going to lay out a case for ESFP below, that I hope you’ll give fair consideration too. Se: “This may not be my fight, but I can’t sit back and pretend nothing happened. That’s not my style. See the […]

in Personality Theory 101

In personality theory, people flippantly throw terms around like everyone knows what they’re talking about. Many terms are vague or confusing, due to either the lack of a concrete explanation or the fact that the word is no longer being used in its literal sense. Typology enthusiasts often inadvertently redefine terms slowly, overtime, so that […]
