in Stereotypes

Ahhh, stereotypes. The bane of typology’s existence. An article specifically about Ti, or Introverted Thinking, stereotypes was requested many moons ago, and I’ve finally forced myself to sit down and start writing it. (Or, if I’m being honest, Ryan strongly encouraged me to.) Here’s the problem with an article about Ti stereotypes: it’s one of […]

in Personality Theory 101

I’d like to share an outlook with everyone. I have no clue how many other people approach typology this way, but I feel like it would do a lot by way of seeing past stereotypes and bias. While I certainly can’t dismiss stereotypes as completely false and the general type descriptions do have value, they […]

in Self-Development

All types can bump up against motivation struggles. I think it’s assumed that certain types will struggle more than others, and maybe that’s true, but I don’t think anyone is immune. I’ve seen quite a few ISTPs complain about struggling to motivate themselves, especially in school. So, I’m just going to talk about how I […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

The Fate series is incredibly complex, and honestly, somewhat convoluted. For Kiritsugu Emiya, we focused primarily on Fate/Zero to gather information, although he does show up in other Fate series. (His behavior in the other series appeared consistent with this conclusion.) Overall, while we considered other personality types, Kiritsugu Emiya seems to make the most […]

in Stereotypes

I thought I’d take the time out to dedicate an article to a very common stereotype: ISTJs being sticklers for the rules and traditions. You’ve all heard of this, right? Pop onto a ‘type me’ thread and the most common evidence you’ll see laid out as proof of not being an ISTJ is not caring […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Orihime Inoue from Bleach is a good example of the ENFP Myers-Briggs personality type (often referred to as MBTI). Of course, we considered other personality types for Orihime Inoue, but ultimately went with ENFP. Continue reading to find out why! The Myers-Briggs Personality Type of Orihime Inoue Dominant Ne: “Oh don’t blame yourself. I mean, […]

in Typing Dilemmas

And here is Fi vs Ti: another common typing dilemma. Ti, or Introverted Thinking, and Fi, or Introverted Feeling,  are both introverted judging functions, which subsequently makes them introspection functions. People with Ti or Fi as their dominant function tend to be over thinkers, when it comes to determining their personality type. They are prone […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Renji Abarai from Bleach appears to be an example of the ESFP Myers-Briggs personality type (often referred to as MBTI). Of course, we considered other personality types for Renji Abarai, but ultimately went with ESFP. Continue reading to find out why! The Myers-Briggs Personality Type of Renji Abarai “I’m telling you, Renji. Sometimes you and […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Bleach seems to have an issue with retconning, which I’m saying because Yoruichi as a cat appears to have a completely different personality than Yoruichi in human form. We were unsuccessful at reconciling the two, and deemed it an inconsistency. Thus, this typing will be limited to Yoruichi’s actions in her human form. Her cat […]

in Function Analysis

I occasionally ask myself what villains from varying types would look like. Obviously, there are going to be different styles and variations, but as a whole, how will each type act when evil? In the past, I have googled the subject to see other people’s opinions and perspectives on the matter. At one point, I […]
