Determining Your Parent’s Personality Type: Challenges and Tips

in Advanced Typing

Determining your parent’s personality type can actually be quite challenging, for several reasons. People’s go-to personality type label for their parents often seems to be one of the SJ personality types (which means ISTJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, or ESFJ.)

Are NFs the Only Idealistic Personality Types?

in Function Analysis, Stereotypes

The NF personality types (INFJ, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP) are known for being idealistic. While Myers-Briggs did sort personalities into groups, this association mostly has a lot to do with David Keirsey, who actually labeled NFs as the Idealists.

Arcane: Silco (INTJ)

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Silco, who we are typing as an INTJ, is our second personality analysis from Arcane. (Check out our analysis of Vi as an ESFP here.) Arcane’s season 1 was really short and action-packed, so we were a bit hesitant with some of the characters’ personality types. With that being said, we are reasonably confident in […]
