MBTI and Enneagram Speculations, Part 3: The Head Triad
In conclusion to my speculation series on Myers-Briggs (often called MBTI) and Enneagram combinations, I give you part 3, the head triad, which I saved for last considering how controversial types 5 and 6 tend to be. If you haven’t read the previous articles, I invite you to check out MBTI and Enneagram Speculations, Part 1: […]
By Mara on June 10, 2024MBTI and Enneagram Speculations, Part 2: The Heart Triad
People often debate which Myers-Briggs and Enneagram combinations are possible. A few months back, I wrote an article speculating on which Myers-Briggs personality types would make sense coupled with Enneagrams 1, 8, and 9 (also known as the Gut Triad). Originally, I was going to go over every single Enneagram type in one article, but […]
By Mara on May 14, 2024MBTI and Enneagram Speculations, Part 1: The Gut Triad
Myers-Briggs (often colloquially called MBTI) and Enneagram enthusiasts are constantly debating over which combinations are possible. In my opinion, the subject is often oversimplified on both sides of the debate. On the one hand, there are people who severely limit the possible combinations, making several completely impossible. Whereas, other people emphatically claim that any combination […]
By Mara on January 9, 2024Thoughts on Enneagram: Discovering My Type
I’ve been spinning on Enneagram off and on for around two years now. I’ve written two articles on my experience, one when I was first starting out and a second after about a year of study. (If you’re interested in checking those out in chronological order, read Enneagram vs. the 16 Types and then Thoughts on […]
By Mara on November 21, 2023An ISTP’s Rant About Conspiracy Theories
People say a lot of different things about sensors. Some of it is right, and of course, some of it is wrong. Certain things are said out of frustration, which I try to ignore. (We all butt up against annoying people.) Other stuff, which typically amounts to misconceptions, I can’t help, but find a bit […]
By Mara on February 21, 2023Thoughts on Enneagram
A little over a year ago, I started casually looking into Enneagram. I believe this article, Enneagram vs. the 16 Types, marks the beginning phase of my research. Although, I almost hate to use the word “research”, because it was such a casual thing for me. I mostly wanted to dip my toe in, so […]
By Mara on December 29, 2022My ISTP Struggle with the Keirsey Temperaments
The Keirsey Temperaments are pretty popular among Myers-Briggs and 16 Types enthusiasts. People typically mix them into general type theory seamlessly, categorizing the sixteen personality types according to Keirsey. Often, those who are confused about their type also turn to Keirsey, hoping it’ll break the tie between two types or at least help narrow things […]
By Mara on October 13, 2022Wanting To Be Understood
I’m going share some thoughts, a perspective I guess. Please don’t hate me. The intent is not to attack. This is basically going to be another one of my rambles, for those who appreciate them. (Hopefully someone does. >.>) People get into typology for a variety of reasons, but there are a couple of really […]
By Mara on November 1, 2021Do Ti Users Lack Identity?
in Function Analysis, Speculations/Ramblings
We often say around here that Ti and Fi are the identity functions. However, if you speak to the average Ti dominant, you’ll likely learn that they don’t consider themselves to have much of an identity. In fact, you might learn that they don’t know themselves all that well, or that they lack a sense […]
By Mara on April 19, 2021Cognitive Functions Determine Awareness
Just warning you all now that this is going to be kind of rambly… I occasionally get the hankering to ramble on a subject. I have no clue if anyone appreciates it or a not, but I throw it out in the inter-webs in hopes that someone can manage to glean something useful from my […]
