Recently, we published an article called The Myers-Briggs Personality Types In a Loop, Part 1: The Extraverts. This article is the second and final installment of that series, focusing on the introverted loops.

By Ryan and Mara on April 5, 2024The Myers-Briggs Personality Types In a Loop, Part 1: The Extraverts
Terms like “loop” and “grip” get thrown around casually when discussing personality type theory, and this blog is no exception to that. In past articles, we have generically talked about loops, and even covered certain ones in depth. However, we would like to start giving this subject some more attention, starting with a two part […]

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.)

By Mara on March 29, 2021Typing Those With Neuro Differences: ASD
At one point, an article on ‘typing those with neuro differences’ was requested. To be honest, I’m not sure how long ago that was. I just remember cringing at the complexity of the subject, adding it to our list, and then conveniently forgetting about it (if I’m being honest). However, a few months back someone […]

Some people are extremely easy to type. The way their personality is manifesting is fairly straightforward, and it doesn’t take long to peg them.
