The ESFJ or ENFJ villain is a relatively uncommon combination when it comes to representation. Most people do not associate the villain role with traits commonly espoused to dominant Fe users, like the ESFJ/ENFJ. However, I recently observed an example of such a case while half paying attention to a show that someone else was […]

If you Google “signs that you’re an ENTJ”, you’ll find several articles dedicated to the subject. However, I prefer focusing on “negative” information, because I personally find it more useful for narrowing down one’s personality type. So, today, I’m going to write an article on the signs that you’re NOT an ENTJ. Bear in mind, […]

Extraverted Sensing (Se) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne) are the two extraverted irrational functions according to Carl Jung. The Se preferring users are the SP types (ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP), and Ne preferring users are the NP types (ENTP, INTP, ENFP, INFP). However, this article will be primarily aimed at the dominant users (ENXPs and ESXPs). […]

It’s extremely common for extraverts to mistype as introverts. There are a couple different reasons for that, starting with the fact that a lot of personality theory content is written by introverts. Introverted content creators can fail to capture the extraverted experience correctly. They often depict extraverts as far more extreme than the average extravert […]

We already have a couple of articles dedicated to Te vs Ti, such as 11 Differences Between Te and Ti Users and 5 Differences Between Te and Ti Logic. However, in this article, I would like to discuss how the underlying reasoning of Te vs. Ti leads to specific strengths and weaknesses. This article will be […]
