in Typing Dilemmas

I know what some of you may be thinking right about now. Why would you do a typing dilemma for whether someone is an INFP or ISTJ? Those two types are nothing alike. While on the surface you would be right, there are certain scenarios that can cause the line between them to blur. They […]

Can you type children? Maybe. Probably. Most likely you can get close. Like all things, there is a catch and things you have to look out for, seeing these tiny humans are still in the beginning stages of cognitive development so their functions may not manifest in quite the same ways as the information online […]

in Stereotypes

So, let’s talk about ISTJ stereotypes. Usually when we write an article like this, we are busting exaggerated, overly positive, and self aggrandizing traits of a type. However, there are so little positive stereotypes for ISTJ that I will basically be spending this entire article wading through all of the hate that the community has […]

Introverted Sensing, or Si, seems to be a function that both gets a lot of flak for being boring, basic, and easy to understand, but also gets completely mischaracterized and misunderstood. You may have heard it said, generically speaking, that Si essentially chalks up to memory or remembering things. People claim that its detailed nature […]

in Personality Typing 101

One thing that you find a lot in typology circles is that people seem to automatically assume that those who lead with an extraverted function (Ne, Se, Te, Fe) will automatically be a social butterfly.

The longer you are immersed in the world of type, the more patterns and parallels you start to see emerge, sometimes between functions and placements that you wouldn’t even expect. One of those instances will be the subject of today’s article. I have noticed that function placement can do a lot in the way of […]

in Personality Typing 101

If you have been reading our blog for any amount of time, you may have heard us talk about different types of evidence when it comes to typing characters in shows and the people around us. We have mentioned how some evidence is more compelling than other pieces, but as of yet, we haven’t really […]

I think an oft time neglected aspect of personality theory is how it relates to the brain and how the brain functions. After all, at the end of the day cognitive functions are literally the result of the physical organ inside your cranium processing and deciding what to do with everything. Your brain is essentially […]

in Function Analysis

Hey everyone! This part two of my tertiary function descriptions. As before, there seems to be a lot of varied opinions as to the tertiary function’s inner workings and usefulness. We’ve seen everything from assertions that it can be healthy for it to replace your auxiliary function to it being only slightly more useful than […]

Ah yes, the tertiary functions. There seems to be a lot of varied opinions as to its inner workings and usefulness. We’ve seen everything from assertions that it can be healthy for it to replace your auxiliary function to it being only slightly more useful than your inferior. As with any set of extreme opinions, […]
