in Self-Development

People say a lot of different things about the INFP personality type, some good and some bad. The reason I felt compelled to write this article is due to one very specific thing that INFPs are associated with. Namely, people often seem to think that INFPs will be chronically depressed, maladjusted, or unhealthy in some […]

Every individual has a different path to follow for personal growth and development, and their personality type, such as ENFP, plays a significant factor. I’m going to try to focus on continuing this series, since it is an extremely valuable subject to address. After all, self-development is one of the most beneficial uses of any […]

Self-development is one of the most important uses of any personality system. Oftentimes, personality systems are used poorly, to do things like excuse bad behavior. Naturally, that’s easier than actually using them for self-improvement. Since you’ve stumbled onto this INFP development page, hopefully you’re striving to use this system in a more impactful way.

Today, we are going to cover a topic that we get asked about every now and then, and that’s personality type and dating… whether it can help indicate who you should date (or who you shouldn’t). What are the best matches? Are certain combinations a recipe for success, while others a recipe for disaster? These […]

in Personality Theory 101, Self-Development

This blog post goes out to all those people that seem to think that emotions have no place in decision making. The general premise is that the best decision is one that is made based only on pure logic taking no emotions into account. I hate to break it to you, but that idea is […]

All types can bump up against motivation struggles. I think it’s assumed that certain types will struggle more than others, and maybe that’s true, but I don’t think anyone is immune. I’ve seen quite a few ISTPs complain about struggling to motivate themselves, especially in school. So, I’m just going to talk about how I […]

So, let’s talk about the practical application of type theory. I know many of us get into type theory simply because we want to learn more about ourselves or maybe just think it’s an interesting hobby. If that’s your reasoning, that’s great, but if you want to take things a step further; there are quite […]
