9 INTJ Stereotypes
in Stereotypes
This article was originally requested in the comments on 7 Ti Stereotypes. Itโs been a while, but here it is. We think we may also aim to write a stereotypes article for each individual type, like this one, rather than focusing mostly on the individual cognitive functions, like we have in the past. The INTJ [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
I think. I think all the time. I must be a Ti userโฆ right? Perhaps youโre reading this and you think the idea sounds ridiculous. I mean, we all think, right? Iโve actually seen people who hyper focus in on how much they think, truly believing that it means they are a high Ti user. [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
Ahhh, stereotypes. The bane of typologyโs existence. An article specifically about Ti, or Introverted Thinking, stereotypes was requested many moons ago, and Iโve finally forced myself to sit down and start writing it. (Or, if Iโm being honest, Ryan strongly encouraged me to.) Hereโs the problem with an article about Ti stereotypes: itโs one of [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
I thought Iโd take the time out to dedicate an article to a very common stereotype: ISTJs being sticklers for the rules and traditions. Youโve all heard of this, right? Pop onto a โtype meโ thread and the most common evidence youโll see laid out as proof of not being an ISTJ is not caring [โฆ]
By Mara on June 8, 2020Bad S vs. N Stereotypes
in Stereotypes
Time and time again, I see intuition likened to impracticality and even laziness, to a certain degree. What do I mean by that? Well, it is assumed that intuitives are somehow lacking in ability to perform daily tasks, or that they are somehow less apt to deal with the real world. It is assumed that [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
I originally sat down to write an article about a very specific Fi, or Introverted Feeling, stereotype, but as I started rambling, I realized that I was about to cover far more than just one. And thus, this article has been completely reorganized before it even began. What is Introverted Feeling (Fi)? For those who [โฆ]
By Mara on December 9, 2019Intuitive Bias: Hereโs What You Need to Know
in Stereotypes
Sometimes it seems like the online MBTI communities have relegated everything that is insightful and abstract to the intuitives, while relegating the sensors to essentially being dumb brutes. Granted, my terminology here may be a touch dramatic, but I legitimately feel like this is what a lot of people subconsciously think and support (perhaps without [โฆ]
By Mara on July 2, 2019Sentimentality: Just an Si Tendency?
in Function Analysis, Stereotypes
One of the big proofs of Si, or Introverted Sensing, that people look for is sentimentality. Most of the time, itโs the first question someone is asked when the possibility of Si is on the table. Unfortunately, thereโs a flaw in using this as the primary source of evidenceโฆ Namely, weโre all human, and most [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
Ahhh, Se stereotypes. The adrenaline junkies with inhuman observation skills. The impulsive risk-takers who never worry about anything beyond the present moment. The dumb jocks with amazing reflexes that are good at every sport they attempt. Ok. Now on to reality. Many ESFPs, ISFPs, ESTPs, and ISTPs read their type description and end up confused, [โฆ]
By Mara on January 8, 2019Misconceptions About Fe
in Function Analysis, Stereotypes
Fe. The pushover. The doormat. The chameleon. Lacking Fi, which is apparently the only function capable of making anyone resolute in who they are, Fe users are willing to completely give up everything that makes them them for the sake of everyone else around them. Fe users donโt really have opinions, especially if those opinions [โฆ]
