Ni: “We are going to swallow our pride, and we’re going to wait until we can make a move from a position of strength.” “I’m saying that I’m not rushing this decision.” “So you can think of this office as a reminder of what you did to Harvey, or as a symbol of what you […]

An ISTP’s Perspective On Ti Accuracy

in Function Analysis

There are so many buzzwords associated with Ti, to the extent that sometimes it feel like the function departs from reality into some distant idealistic realm. Since I am a dominant Ti user (ISTP, specifically), I feel somewhat responsible for dragging it back down to earth, hence the reasons why I keep publishing Ti-specific articles. […]

Is Fi Absolute?

in Function Analysis, Stereotypes

I’ve noticed that I have a tendency to subconsciously theme when it comes to article writing. Once my mind gets rolling on a subject, it’s hard to walk away until I’ve explored it deeply.

Enneagram vs. the 16 Types

in Personality Typing 101

Recently, I’ve gone on an Enneagram journey. In the past, I’ve made varying assumptions about Enneagram, which I was hesitant to state absolutely, knowing that personality systems tended to suffer from stereotyping and surface-level information.

Misusing Personality Systems

in Personality Typing 101

Myers-Briggs. Enneagram. Socionics. Big Five. You’ve likely heard of all of these personality theories, and I’m sure countless others. Once someone goes down the rabbit hole of typology, it’s usually not long before they start branching out into other theories on the subject. This has led to a pet peeve of mine: using one theory […]

Once Upon A Time: Snow White (INFP)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Fi: “She wanted revenge more than she wanted love, and I can’t imagine living that way. I want to be guided by love.” “Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a powerful thing, but living with that kind of belief… That’s the most powerful thing of all. “ Snow White is guided […]

7 ISFP Stereotypes

in Stereotypes

The ISFP (Fi-Se-Ni-Te) is probably one of the least talked about types. Some types get a bunch of negative stereotypes. Some types get a bunch of positive stereotypes. Some types are idealized. Some types seem to be almost universally hated or criticized. The ISFP, on the other hand, seems to fly under the radar, getting […]

Mistyping the ISFP

in Function Analysis

Initially, when typing characters or people, I tend to rely on what I can best describe as a radar or gut typing. I grab my initial impression of them and see if it fits. I think it’s the result of having Se/Ni in the middle. I don’t lean too heavily on observation or impression. I […]
