Ni vs. Ne: Perspectives and Possibilities

in Function Analysis

I had a realization the other day that I thought I’d share with you all, concerning Introverted Intuition (Ni) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne). It’s funny how you kind of know something, but one day the nuances of it click much more consciously into place. That’s basically what happened in regards to this topic. We’ve always […]

Seven Deadly Sins: Ban (ESFP)

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

We noticed that popular opinion has typed Ban as an ESTP, or Ti auxiliary. We actually see a strong case for Fi/Te. As per usual, please approach with an open mind. Se: “Way back in those days, I was in the market for some pain. I wanted to wallow in suffering because I thought that […]

7 Reasons ENTJs and ESTJs Mistype as Introverts

in Typing Dilemmas

This is a very real pattern. We’ve probably run across more ESTJs and ENTJs that mistype as introverts than one’s that type as the actual extraverts that they are. Granted, many extraverts tend to mistake themselves as introverts, but this specific problem does seem extremely commonplace amongst the ENTJs and ESTJs. A ENTJ will often […]

Spiderman 2002 Series: Peter Parker (INFP)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Note: This analysis is specific to Tobey Maguire’s iteration of Spiderman.  Other versions of Spiderman may type differently. Fi: “My name’s ‘The Human Spider.’ … No, he got my name wrong!” “I’m so sorry, Harry. I know what it’s like to lose a father.” “Believe me. I know. Spiderman gets attacked all the time…” Tobey’s […]

5 Differences Between ESTPs and ISTPs

in Typing Dilemmas

I published this article close to two years ago, but recently I’ve learned quite a bit more about the distinctions between these two types. We try to periodically go back and update our staple articles as we learn more, so, it’s time to do this one. I’m going to go ahead and launch right into […]

Naruto Series: Chōji Akimichi (ISFP)

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Ok, this is the very last Naruto typing that was stored away in our drafts… from back during the time when we weren’t getting a bunch of requests. Since we’re not quite ready with Tien yet, I decided to get it published and out of the way. So, disclaimer, Choji like some of the other […]

Explaining Introverted Thinking (Ti) Identity

in Function Analysis

My brain goes a little nuts when trying to explain Introverted Thinking, or Ti, sometimes. I recently did a YouTube interview with Joyce Meng which can be found here, and of course one of the things that I had to explain in depth was Ti. I’ve gotten better at that… but whenever I’m asked to […]

Positive Inferior Fe from the mind of an ISTP

in Real Life Examples

A long while ago, I wrote an article called Inferior Fe from the mind of an ISTP about my experiences with inferior Fe, and how it manifested in my life. I’ve always been hyper aware of my inferior function because of the negative effect it has on my life, but more recently, I’ve come to […]

Naruto Series: Kabuto Yakushi (ENFJ)

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

This is one of the our last two Naruto articles that we have sitting in our drafts. Kabuto was actually very tricky. At one point, we were pegging him as an Se aux. We flipped around between ISFP and ISTP… and then we pegged him as an INFJ. I even wrote the article! It sat […]

Perspective Is Everything

in Personality Typing 101

Ryan and I were in the midst of a discussion the other day, and the main focus somehow worked its way around to all of the many different perspectives of a certain personality type that there can be. This is something that I think a lot of people don’t give enough thought to, so I […]
