The Value of Extraverted Sensing (Se)

in Function Analysis

Se, or Extraverted Sensing, gets associated with so many things. Good reflexes. Physical Skills. Athletics. Observation. Truthfully, much of this is anecdotal, and unfair to other types. Are we really going to say that other types can’t have skills? That’s stupid. We can all receive training, and improve our reflexes. As we (PracticalTyping) say over […]

Once Upon A Time: Peter Pan (ESFP)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Se: Peter Pan appears to be an Se dominant. In his original form as Malcom, his primary focus appears to be freedom and indulgence. He has no desire to be responsible, and resents Rumpel for weighing him down, although he doesn’t say this until later. He essentially cons people in town through a gambling game […]

9 ISTP Stereotypes

in Stereotypes

Out of all the sensor types, the ISTP (Ti-Se-Ni-Fe) seems to be one of the most favorably viewed, which mean the ISTP stereotypes aren’t that bad. You can correct me if I’m wrong, but I was struggling to find any really negative stereotypes surrounding this type. Granted, it’s not nearly as coveted as some types, […]

12 Monkeys (2015): James Cole (ISTP)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Ti: “She looked up at me, and she smiled like she forgave me. And I never knew it before that moment, that was what I wanted. …I don’t deserve it. I know that. But still, ever since that’s what I’ve been rushing towards you know, just trying to make everything make sense.” “Let’s get something […]

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Ni: “He told you I was the savior. It was his plan. Once I fulfilled that role, maybe that’s all I was ever meant to do. Everything I’ve ever done, he had it all mapped out before I was even born.” – Emma “There are no coincidences. Everything that happens happens by design and there’s […]

Are Personality Types Born Or Made?

in Personality Typing 101

Back within the first year of the blog, I wrote an article on this subject, which I am returning to now. It’s not that our opinion has changed; I just feel I can do the subject a bit more justice. People tend to bicker back and forth as to how one obtains their personality. Are […]

Once Upon A Time: Cora Mills (INTJ)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Ni: “Look at you with your whole life ahead of you, and it’s going to be better than you can imagine. The king’s not a strong man. The kingdom will be yours. Raise the tributes. Form a personal guard. Let everyone know where the new power lies, and you’ll hold the hearts of your people […]

Do Ti Users Lack Identity?

in Function Analysis, Speculations/Ramblings

We often say around here that Ti and Fi are the identity functions. However, if you speak to the average Ti dominant, you’ll likely learn that they don’t consider themselves to have much of an identity. In fact, you might learn that they don’t know themselves all that well, or that they lack a sense […]

10 Tips For Getting Along With An ISTP

in Self-Development

I’ve said this, before but self-help is not really my realm. Stereotypical, I know – an ISTP who isn’t great at writing self help type material – which is why the passing thought about writing material for ISTPs specifically probably won’t go anywhere (unless perhaps people start sending in very specific questions). However, the other […]
