    On the hero’s journey, there are four paths you can take. The path of courage, the path of power, the path of perseverance, and the path of peace. Each path is sometimes difficult, and sometimes easy, and no path is better than the other. All lead to growth and adventure and wisdom and power. The…

They project a set perspective or viewpoint on reality and they study the…

    It makes more than sense that there are some patterns between our developed personality and our mental intelligences & physical abilities. People like Jon Niednagel & BrainTypes have been somewhat successful in predicting success in sport based on personality type or developed personal abilities.

    Because sensing and perceiving (SP) types love to act on instinct, they are often described as “animalistic.” This is not just a negative bias against the so called extraverted sensors (ISFP, ISTP, ESTP, ESFP), but it is also a stereotype against animals. Perhaps you have tried to type your animal. Almost all of the personality traits we…

    Stereotypes say introverts are less outgoing than extraverts. This is because people often assume that extraverts are socially proactive. Truth is, there are numerous reasons extraverts can become more withdrawn, and this article will explore the true reasons behind “social anxiety” and “shyness”. Beyond that, this article will attempt to kill the idea of introverts…

    This is an excerpt from my book, The Next Steps For Neojungian Typology.  There has been a lot of research on introversion and extroversion.

    The shadow side of an INFJ is the ESTP. And while the ESTP is often misportrayed an aggressive jock, INFJs in the ESTP mode are not necessarily aggressive types.
