in Significant Figures MBTI Types

Not gonna lie โ€“ this was simultaneously the most frustrating and the most interesting character typing we have ever done. In my opinion anyway. Iโ€™m not sure if Ryan feels the same, ha ha. I learned something though โ€“ always go straight for the quotes and then read biographical information. Much simpler. Although, note that [โ€ฆ]

The Identity Functions: Inferior Ti and Fi

in Function Analysis

Iโ€™m piggy-backing this article off of my previous identity functions article, which you can find here: The Identity Functions: Fi and Ti. While I never actually intended to write a second part to that article, Ryan and I had an intriguing realization recently that I felt instantly compelled to write down. Let me take a [โ€ฆ]

Comparing the Look-alikes: INTP vs. ISTP vs. INTJ

in Typing Dilemmas

The INTJ, INTP and ISTP types have often been called โ€œlook-alikeโ€ personalities. I personally think that thatโ€™s in part due to mistypesโ€ฆ In day-to-day life, INTJs and INTPs come across very differently in my experience. There are certain scenarios in which an ISTP will appear similar to an INTJ, but those two as a whole [โ€ฆ]

One Piece: Kuzan [Aokiji] (ISTP)
