in Movie/TV MBTI Types

For the record, we struggled a bit with Mike because he seems to blur the lines between ISFP and INFP. (The photographic/perfect memory trait makes him a bit of a Gary Stu.) Overall, we found there to be a stronger case for an INFP, hence this conclusion. Fi: “You know, you keep telling me I […]

in Stereotypes

I’ve had Extraverted Thinking (Te) on the brain lately. To my knowledge, there aren’t a bunch of Te stereotypes, but the ones that exist are misleading enough to cause significant confusion. We see a lot of Te users who can’t settle on a type because nothing quite seems to fit. Certain personality traits have become […]

Fe: “I came back here for Scott, but I also came back for you. Someone like you. Someone who’s willing to walk into the woods in the middle of the night to protect his friends. I don’t have anyone like that but Scott does. You all do. I know I’m in the right place. I’m […]

I’ve struggled for a long time to try to distinguish the morality of Introverted Feeling, or Fi, from the morality of Introverted Thinking, or Ti. Introverted Thinkers, or Ti users, have a reputation of being morally gray: the rogues and the bounty hunters. Amoral. However, this stereotype is largely driven by fiction. I know plenty […]

Te: “Which means you’re Canadian who speaks French. And seeing as I’m placing my mental health in your hands, how about you tell me what, as a French teacher, qualifies you to be a guidance counselor?” “I’ll tell you what to do.” Lydia appears to be an Te dominant. It’s clear from the beginning of […]

in Personality Theory 101

Cognitive functions are complicated and confusing. This is a fact. This is why everyone argues over them, and this is why newcomers to the 16 personalities start with the dichotomies, and some of those infamously bad personality tests. It’s the easy, and fun way to dip one’s toe in, at the beginning. I see people […]

in Stereotypes

I realized the other day that I haven’t actually written a stereotypes article for Extraverted Intuition, or Ne. Granted, I’m generally pretty bad at completing series, so it’s no surprise that there are a million potential holes I could be filling in Practical Typing’s archives. However, while I was mulling over a potential article subject […]

in Function Analysis

Misinformation about Extraverted Sensing (Se) annoys me. Of course, it’s my auxiliary function so that shouldn’t be surprising. Several years ago, I began doubting my personality type, which prompted me to spend an obsessive amount of time trying to learn the core difference between Se and Ne. After all that, after essentially deep diving into […]

Ti: “Why does it matter? …You still haven’t told me why.” “I don’t understand why you’re so eager to pick a fight you know you can’t win. You showing off or is it.. you have a death wish?” “In a word, yes. It’s fun. If I want to know where to find Goku, I can […]

in Speculations/Ramblings

I’m going share some thoughts, a perspective I guess. Please don’t hate me. The intent is not to attack. This is basically going to be another one of my rambles, for those who appreciate them. (Hopefully someone does. >.>) People get into typology for a variety of reasons, but there are a couple of really […]
