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.

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Ah, Emperor’s New Groove. Maybe it’s the child in me, but I love this movie. I die of laughter every time I watch it. The other day Ryan randomly suggested we watch the movie again. Of course, after blogging about personality theory for over three years, we naturally analyze characters every time we watch anything, […]

As far as I know, most people type Sai as an INTP, which is completely understandable. However, after studying the character closely, given his history and initial unhealthy state, I believe ISFJ is actually more accurate. Si: “I know this was personal for him, but he shouldn’t have gone to face him alone. It seems […]

The longer I study personality theory, the more I begin to notice flawed ways in which certain cognitive functions are rationalized and/or explained.

Ne: “Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than Hell itself… That is coffee” “Even the mightiest of redwoods begin their lives as mere saplings.” “You’re ‘ready’?

While popular opinion for Phoenix Wright appears to be ENTP or even ENFP, he actually seems more inline with an INFP. Fi: “Because someone has to look out for the people who have no one on their side. I know…I’ve been there. A long, long time ago.” “Why must we make up for our mistakes, […]
