Naturally, that’s easier than actually using them for self-improvement. Since you’ve stumbled onto this INFP development page, hopefully you’re striving to use this system in a more impactful way.

Te: “It is clear to me that this is all a fruitless waste of my time.” “I may have been relegated to the lowest class in school but not for long. I will claw my way up to Class A.” Horikita is a clear Te dominant. She’s abrasive, forward, and unyielding. For instance, Horikita has […]

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 […]
