    I think there is a common misconception that INFJs and INTJs intentionally withhold information from others, when in fact, most of the time, it is that INFJs and INTJs spend a longer time to search for information and to double check if information is true. Check the video on INFJ and INTJs secretiveness now! Dealing…

    [embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NffVYPHgpQw[/embedyt] There are a lot of stereotypes about INTP laziness out there. There are a lot of people, teachers, parents, and bosses that would want to rush the INTP, but I would advice you not to. And there are things you can do to improve INTP productiveness and to ensure they do their best, but…

    I think there might be quite a few mistyped ENFPs out there. At least, there are some massive misconceptions and stereotypes about the ESFP out there. The stereotype that sensors are dumb exist because we define sensors by what they lack – not what they actually possess. What are the ESFP core gifts? Check the video…

    With perceivers described as lazy and carefree go with the flow types, and judgers described as organized, on time, and focused, are judgers better than perceivers? Are perceivers simply out of touch with modern society, and unable to adjust to it’s demands and needs? Are judgers better than perceivers? I tend to notice that it is…

    Recurring or repetitive information keeps bombarding us, dulling our mind. New information helps us build new pathways and learn new things. Intuitives thrive on novelty, making them more excited, and more mentally active. In general, intuitives have weaker attention spans than sensing types, and stop taking in information more quickly, there is a way to…

    1. Ask for clarification when others use jargon – don’t let them hide behind complex and unintuitive buzzwords. 2. Ask for clarification when there’s ambiguity. 3. Seek the sweet spot : complex enough to give a meaningful definition for each type, but simple enough to be understood by a layman. Nobody knows everything about personality…

    I love philosophy, theory and speculation. I love going down the rabbit hole, exploring, testing, and forming a big picture theory of everything. And I love testing ideas against one another. I like seeing what is most propable, and determining how likely a theory is. As a philosopher speculant type (INFJ) I have two unique…

  • Taking control over your life

    I have met many people that argue that they feel no control over their life. They feel like they are merely reacting, doing what everyone else wants, with no power over their own decisions. Often, the reason is self-doubt, you may have an inkling of what you want, but you struggle to assert it with…

  • The Hidden Issues Of The Empath

    Is it wrong to be an empath?  There is no problem with being kind, and no problem with being empathic, good-hearted, and sensitive. The issue I take with the empath ideal is that many descriptions of the empath paint the picture of someone with weak emotional boundaries. The empath is a person who often is…

  • Is authenticity better than kindness?

    Authenticity is to honestly reflect your own emotions and your own feelings. And I personally believe there is no right or wrong way to relate to your emotions, as long as you actually do accept and relate to them. What I find, however, is that many of us struggle with understanding and relating to our…
