    Lots of INFPs are constantly asking themselves how they can become better sensors and thinkers. How can I become more disciplined? They ask me. The issue of not being an ESTJ is a big anxiety to many INFPs. You know you could if you just pushed yourself enough… You’ve been able to be like this…

  • No such thing as an ambivert

    While people are quick to leave blanket statements such as “everyone is an ambivert”, what they do when they say this is ignore an important debate in differences in temperament, thinking, and consciousness. Obviously, everyone is different, and we all work differently. We all perceive the world in different ways. The introvert and extrovert labels…

    I started my journey to explore the correlations between body language many years ago. The journey started with Physiognomy, the project now known as Cognitive Type. I later studied the cult-like group known as Pod’lair. For the last years, I worked on developing independent methods through Neojungian Academy. Step one: Physiognomy In Physiognomy, we broke…

  • No, you don’t need to develop your inferior function

    It is common to describe personality development as developing your weaker functions. I think this stems from a misconception of how cognitive functions work and why we favour certain functions over others. INFJs favour introverted intuition due to the positive impact it has on an INFJs well being. Introverted intuition is one of the functions…

    INTPs distinguish themselves by having amongst the most repressed social emotions, but do not mistake them for robots. There are many INTP emotional needs. On a universal level, INTPs just like all of us need happiness, love, security, and confidence. On a personal level, INTPs love the experience of being right, of mastering a new…

    I am doing some work to iron out if the cognitive functions have emotional implications on the person. Does Feeling Judging cause a unique response to shame, or a particular way of expressing caring? Do TPs have a unique relationship to pain management and satisfaction? Are the cognitive functions perhaps driven by these emotional components?…

    Modern psychologists have found over and over that the Myers Briggs Type Indicator is, while not completely useless, an incomplete tool. Its tests are unreliable, and its definitions on introversion, extroversion, intuition, sensing, feeling, thinking, judging and perceiving lack solid support in science. At the same time, science can confirm that people really do have…

    Let me in todays article show you how different types of introverts may come to develop to manage their subjective preference. The first is the avoidant introvert, the second is the aggressive introvert, and the third is the balanced introvert. Because balance is a difficult thing, we may all occasionally lose our balance, and I…

  • Stereotypes About Judgers And Perceivers

    Many job employeers are quick to screen out perceivers, favouring judgers for their control, organisation and direction skills. This is all based on common stereotypes about judgers and perceivers. But the employers have been fooled by the MBTI. Judging and perceiving doesn’t test a persons ability to manage stress or to organise your life. It…
