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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I think an oft time neglected aspect of personality theory is how it relates to the brain and how the brain functions. After all, at the end of the day cognitive functions are literally the result of the physical organ inside your cranium processing and deciding what to do with everything. Your brain is essentially […]

I’ve seen some people say that to help figure out your type, you should write out your use of each of the four functions that you believe yourself to have. The one with the most “evidence” under it will probably be your dominant, and then the rest should have less and less, scaling downwards according […]
