7 Differences Between Ne and Ni Users
This is our third installment in a series. It all began with 11 Differences Between Te and Ti Users, which gained some traffic, prompting us to write 11 Differences Between Si and Se Users. After this one, we’ll just have the feeling functions left. Anyway, as before, this article will be dedicated to explaining the […]
By Ryan and Mara on February 24, 20208 Strengths of Introverted Feeling (Fi)
After my last article, I felt this was warranted. I try not to criticize any particular type more than another, but at our roots, we’re all a little biased, if we’re being honest with ourselves. Introverted Feeling, or Fi, is the function that runs the most contrary to my nature, the function that I tend […]
By Mara on February 10, 20206 Signs an INFJ is Actually an Fi User
Ah, the INFJ. Statistics claim that they are rare, which automatically makes a large portion of the population want to be one. This is one of the many reasons why I hate the statistics. Their existence doesn’t appear to do anything, but create factions and mistypes within the MBTI community. Unfortunately, since INFJ is probably […]
By Mara on February 6, 202011 Differences Between Si and Se Users
Sometime last year, I wrote an article on the 11 Differences Between Te and Ti Users. That article caught some steam, and someone ended up requesting that we write an article for each of the other dichotomy pairs. Of course, I did intend to do that anyway… but forgot. Heh heh. Anyways, here’s article number […]
By Mara on January 13, 2020The Identity Functions: Inferior Ti and Fi
I’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 […]
By Mara on December 30, 2019Ne vs. Ni: A Simplistic Example
This article is going to be more of a story than an actual technical article, but the story does show a reasonably good example of simplistic Ne vs. Ni. It’s in these simplistic examples that we can more easily break down how each function is actually operating because it’s easy to wrap your head around […]
By Ryan on November 7, 2019Function Levels: High Vs. Low Use
People make varying speculations on the difference between a function in its dominant, auxiliary, tertiary and inferior positions. They have this tendency to attribute negative behaviors of a certain function to purely the lower users, since they should have weaker use. They like to assume that those with higher use of function will nearly always […]
By Mara on October 15, 20194 Reasons Why ISTJs Mistype As INTJs
ISTJs frequently mistype as INTJs. As per usual, it’s the stereotypes and the general intuitive bias that cause this. Personally, I’ve noticed that within the MBTI and personality enthusiast communities, the Si doms (ISTJ or ISFJ) seems to be the most hated on. It’s not necessarily done on purpose, but just reading the different descriptions, […]
By Mara on October 8, 2019The Inferior Functions: An Overview
Inferior functions play a key role in how each personality type manifests. One’s inferior function is their greatest weakness, their greatest insecurity, their greatest source of stress, or their life long stumbling block. In this article, I’m only going to provide a relatively brief and succinct overview of each inferior function. For more indepth information, […]
By Mara on September 17, 2019Explaining Introverted Intuition (Ni) Tunnel Vision
People throw around the comments about how a weakness of Ni, or Introverted Intuition, is tunnel vision, but do you ever wonder why that is? Well, explaining the logic or theory behind the common MBTI stereotypes is something this blog is about, so I’m going to explain. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it briefly in other […]
