9 ISTP Stereotypes
in Stereotypes
Out of all the sensor types, the ISTP (Ti-Se-Ni-Fe) seems to be one of the most favorably viewed, which mean the ISTP stereotypes arenโt that bad. You can correct me if Iโm wrong, but I was struggling to find any really negative stereotypes surrounding this type. Granted, itโs not nearly as coveted as some types, [โฆ]

in Stereotypes
So, letโs talk about ISTJ stereotypes. Usually when we write an article like this, we are busting exaggerated, overly positive, and self aggrandizing traits of a type. However, there are so little positive stereotypes for ISTJ that I will basically be spending this entire article wading through all of the hate that the community has [โฆ]

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]
