Be Wary of Type Descriptions
Type descriptions really trip people up. Seriously. People go off and take some personality test, grab their given result, and start reading type descriptions. They then base the accuracy of their result off of what they find. Unfortunately, this is not always an accurate way to determine things and I’m going to list off some […]
By Mara on February 22, 20214 Tiers of Typing Evidence
If you have been reading our blog for any amount of time, you may have heard us talk about different types of evidence when it comes to typing characters in shows and the people around us. We have mentioned how some evidence is more compelling than other pieces, but as of yet, we haven’t really […]
By Ryan on January 18, 2021Can You Type Yourself?
Today, we are going to be discussing the question of whether or not you can accurately and independently type yourself, or if it takes an official test or expert to get you accurate results. Some people think that only you can know yourself so only you can type yourself, while others think that it’s absolutely […]
By Ryan on October 8, 2020Perspective Is Everything
Ryan and I were in the midst of a discussion the other day, and the main focus somehow worked its way around to all of the many different perspectives of a certain personality type that there can be. This is something that I think a lot of people don’t give enough thought to, so I […]
By Mara on September 14, 2020The Most Telltale Sign Of Type
This article may make me sound a bit mean, or harsh, or negative… or something. (I’m not really sure where all it’s going to end up going.)

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 […]
By Ryan on August 31, 2020An Outlook On Typology
I’d like to share an outlook with everyone. I have no clue how many other people approach typology this way, but I feel like it would do a lot by way of seeing past stereotypes and bias. While I certainly can’t dismiss stereotypes as completely false and the general type descriptions do have value, they […]
By Mara on July 6, 2020Personality Type is a Misnomer
Yup, you read that right. This whole personality type nonsense is a complete and utter case of mistaken definition. Not to throw you guys for a loop or anything, but the whole of MBTI and personality theory going back to Jung himself is NOT about your personality. Unfortunately, the propagation of this false information has […]
By Ryan on June 22, 2020Shadow Personalities
We have seen ALOT information out there revolving around shadow personalities. We went back and forth on the subject for a long time, but didn’t start to settle on any kind of opinion until we started getting emails asking about the shadow functions. (Basically, we felt like we had to. Ha!) Anyhow, in this article, […]
