10 Obvious But Unexpected Signs You Are An INFJ “Mystic”

3 min read

Knowing you are an INFJ is easier than you think. If you agree with seven or more of these, you are definitely a true INFJ Chosen One.

1. You have always felt different

Yes, that’s enough. If you feel even just slightly different from the norm, if you deviate in any way, that’s because you are an INFJ.

2. You saw the face of Jesus in your cornflakes bowl

It takes an INFJs eyes to be able to capture the divine in real life. And while your friends will insist that it looks more like Homer Simpson, you should trust your eyes for what they are. You simply have better eyes than most people.

3. If you’re out on a walk, and you end up seeing this guy, with this sign, that means you are an INFJ

Most people will never see this guy or this sign. This is because they are sheeple, and refuse to open their eyes.

4. You leave secret codes in your writing

If you write something
Now look back at it
Feel anything strange?
Jes, the first letter of every sentence adds up to INFJ.

5. You have visionary dreams

If you have prophetic dreams and visions you are definitely an INFJ

6. Check your birthdate

If your birthdate is december 25th, or any 25th, or if it’s the same date as Adolf Hitler’s birthday, you are definitely an INFJ.

7. Look at your belly button

Don’t have one? Definitely an INFJ.

8. How do you slice your pizza?

I’ve noticed that most REAL INFJs tend to slice out a circle in the middle of their pizza which they eat first. Then, afterwards, they cut out slices normally, and then they lift and eat the slices.

If you put pineapple on your pizza, you are definitely NOT an INFJ.

9. You have two strands of hair that strike out like antennas

Do NOT, absolutely DO NOT cut these two strands of hair off – these are how you can connect with the gods up above and how you are able to access divine wisdom.

10. Somebody on the internet told you you were NOT an INFJ

If somebody comments on one of your posts or videos saying you can’t be an INFJ, that is an obvious sign you are an INFJ, too.

How many of these did you get? The more of these that you got, the more INFJ you are. You have to get at least seven of these in order to be a true INFJ, but five is enough to get an INFP stamp.

INTP vs INTJ

4 min read

INTJ or INTP? The two introverted NTs may share a similarly intellectual nature, but after that, the differences begin.

Flow TypeNiNeTiTe
INTJ70%47,5%65%55%
INTP60%60%70%45%
How INTJs and INTPs respond on my personality test

INTJ vs INTP Introversion

Internal decision makers vs internal perceivers

INTJs rely primarily on visualisation to develop and elaborate on a particular idea or concept. INTPs rely on a process of self-analysis and self-evaluation to determine pro’s and con’s. This creates two different styles of introversion.

The INTJs tend to be visionaries and hard-headed idealists. The INTPs tend to be data driven logicians. They need information and evidence to back up their assumptions.

INTJ vs INTP Extroversion

INTPs demonstrate an extroverted iNtuitive and curious “desire to learn” and “figure things out.”. This curiosity can draw them out into the world, as they can jump at opportunities in life if there is a chance to learn from it.

They also demonstrate extroversion in that they can be social when necessary. With age and maturity, they can develop a natural, faint charisma and humor to help them connect with the tribe. This is a charisma that is largely absent in the INTJ, who tends to use a more abrasive and direct style.

The INTJ is not afraid to make enemies and will push for a goal even if it will get them in trouble with other people. INTJs are also more comfortable standing on the stage or being out in the heat of battle.

They will draw more attention to themselves and their ideas and are better at getting attention from others. What you will see is they are naturally seeking attention – and tend to want to be the center of the group.

INTJ vs INTP Intuition

These two types are both iNtuitives and both share a hobby for understanding theories. They enjoy relying on abstract mental models to understand life. What you will find however is that the INTJs mind is a one-man-show, an elaborate landscape, a grand theory, a final perfect design or concept.

The INTJ is a one-size-fits all creative type that will specialise in one intellectual topic. The INTP is a jack-of-all-ideas, a smörgåsbord of various thoughts and creative whims. The INTP will readily switch between different perspectives, often changing their mind mid sentence.

INTJ vs INTP Sensing

The INTP will want to prove every point or connection they make. They seek data and evidence for every idea, no matter how crazy. They will run tests on different possibilities and gather and organise the data to make sure it adds up.

The INTJ will have a grand vision they are seeking to implement in the real world. They will use any method possible to achieve their idea. They will think strategically about how to make the world abide by their theoretical framework. The INTJ is out to prove that they have figured something out. The INTP is out to test and figure out different potential models for how the world could work.

INTJ vs INTP Feeling

INTPs will often neglect their feeling side, as they tend to see it as an inconvenience. They use hard logic to try to resolve their emotional struggles and are always working on figuring themselves out, and improving themselves.

Their hope is that by bettering themselves, they will overcome any more irrational problems they are facing in life. Relationships tend to go on the back-burner for this type, as the feeling is there is no time to deal with these matters.

INTJs have a “my way or the highway” relationship to their feelings. They want to be true to themselves and their individuality and struggle to compromise with the tribe. They can be aggressive about what they want and struggle to consider other people in what they do.

What Personality Types Are The Most Lazy?

3 min read

Why are we lazy? What can we do to be less lazy? How can we feel better about our own laziness?

In today’s article we talk about what personality types struggle the most with laziness.

First, let’s define laziness as lacking in energy or motivation towards an activity. Laziness can be manifested as postponing or delaying action or doing an action more slowly or without conscious energy or interest. Laziness can fuel an autopilot like state or can manifest itself as non-responsiveness to your environment.

What personality types are the most lazy?

Flow Extroverted SensingESTPESFPESFJESTJ
Dominant Extroverted SensingESTPESFP
Stress Extroverted SensingINFJINTJINTPINFP
Inferior Extroverted SensingINFJINTJ

Those with flow Extroverted Sensing are some of the most active, busy of all personality types. Those with stress Extroverted Sensing tend to be some of thee most lethargic and lazy of all personality types.

When Extroverted Sensing is the dominant function, that means we assert it to the world, we talk about how active and busy we are and how much we are always getting done.

When Extroverted Sensing is the inferior function, we feel constantly annoyed by how lazy or low on energy we are. That means INFJs and INTJs are the personality types that feel the most guilty for putting in a lack of effort or attention to work and life.

The source of laziness

Introverted iNtuitives direct their energy and attention towards figuring out and speculating on theories and the future. That means their mind is rarely directed to the present. When forced to deal with present tasks, introverted intuitive types tend to lose energy and attention quickly.

INFJs and INTJs are the personality types that are the most characteristically described by their fight against their own laziness. They are constantly pushing themselves to be more active and to do something with their life and feel guilty for not being able to make their theories become a reality.

People around INFJs and INTJs may find these types lazy, slow-moving, or sluggish. Their tendency to delay action or to wait is a symptom of their laziness. If they are to do something, they need time to reframe and recharge before they can commit to a project. After a project is complete, they may become non-responsive or apathetic to their environment.

INFJ65%35%
INTJ70%30%

INFPs and INTPs also share similar struggles as INFJs and INTJs, but as you can see, INTPs and INFPs have slightly less problems with these functions. It is not their worst cognitive function in the set, and so, they feel less insecure about it. They do however have similar issues with motivation and can benefit from developing this cognitive function.

INFJ65%35%
INFP60%40%
INTJ70%30%
INTP60%40%

Tips for developing Extroverted Sensing

  • Be realistic about how much energy you can put into a project
  • Focus your attention and energy into projects that matter to you
  • Don’t feel too guilty about not being able to do everything or not being able to be everywhere at once
  • Give yourself time to recharge in between activities
  • Make the time you spend recharging “self-care” time and try to enjoy it
  • Find healthy ways to recharge by doing things that fuel your Introverted iNtuition
  • Give yourself mini-breaks or timeouts during activities
  • Don’t spread yourself too thin
  • Let go of things that you don’t have the energy or attention for
  • Push yourself to give your all into activities if they matter to you

I hope this advice was of help to you.

The INFJ Love Language

The personality types in numbers

3 min read

My personality test not only demonstrates astoundingly strong statistics and proof of 16 different personality types but also reveals a connection between personality type and cognitive function use. In today’s article, we are looking at some of the 16 personality types in statistics and seeing what the average version of each personality type looks like. We are also going to discuss just why my personality test is so effective in predicting your flow type.

My personality test is a cognitive function test that gives a dichotomy result. Every single question measures for one cognitive function. You will get a score on the dichotomies based on a unique weighing algorithm that I invented. This means anyone who has a high score on Introverted iNtuition will get a higher result on Introversion and iNtuition.

The Average INFJ

If you got the INFJ personality type you will show a result on average like this:

The Average ESTP

To no surprise, the average ESTP is on average one of the more assertive personality types, and INFJs are among the top 5 least assertive personality types.

The Average INFJ in Cognitive Functions

The Average ESTP Cognitive Functions

Looking at these numbers, we can learn a lot of interesting things. First, there is a demonstrable relationship between your personality type dichotomies, and which cognitive functions you use. This means, for example, that an INFJ has a comparatively high Introverted iNtuition (Ni), and a reasonably strong Extroverted Feeling (Fe). Similarly, an ESTP has a strong Extroverted Sensing and a relatively strong Introverted Thinking. The statistics to support this are extremely strong and to me proof that there is something to the idea of Carl Jung’s eight cognitive functions.

How did I make such a strong personality test?

My personality test is data-driven which means I test every single question based on how well it performs on each personality type. If I can see that an ESTP answers a high number on a question meant to measure Introverted iNtuition, that is proof that the question is not working. If they answer low on question number two, which is meant for Introverted iNtuition, that’s a good sign. 2 is a strong result, 2,5 is acceptable, 3 could be better. I use trial and error to find the best questions to ask and to make sure the questions are working as intended.

I developed this test to help people learn how to type and profile friend’s and family members. Use this test to figure out the type of your friends or family members, or test your friends and family members and see how they would describe you!

I developed this test to help you get on paper an objective method to type other people. Personality profiling would be a lot more accurate if we not just tried to guess the type of another person but instead went through, step by step, what we see in the other person and learned to balance out and note down everything we saw about a person.

Why ENFPs Aren’t Naive

4 min read

One of my readers came to me yesterday with a few fascinating questions about the ENFP Personality Type. I am going to answer them briefly, and then I am going to explain them more in depth for you.

Are ENFPs Naive?

No.

Are ENFPs People-Pleasers?

It’s complicated.

Are ENFPs Melodramatic?

Only if you are melodramatic towards them, first.

These are all very good questions and they make sense when you read articles about the ENFP personality type online.

Recommended reads: Why I love ENFPs

Why I Love My ENFP as an INFJ

Why ENFPs Aren’t Naive

ENFPs dream both high and low. This means ENFPs are star-seekers. They aim high and set their aims to the sky when happy and cheerful. They become critical and pessimistic under stress. This means you will see two sides to the ENFP. The normal part of them wants and thrives on the unrealistic ideal. They want the best things possible in the world for themselves and for other people.

The darker part of them knows they are being unrealistic – and is constantly picking apart everything they do. So how are you going to do that? I can’t see how you would fare any better this time than usual. Once again, you’re setting yourself up to fail. ENFPs past their teenage years have developed a relationship to this voice and so they are able to think highly critically about their own ideals. They know, after some point of growth and maturity, that their dreams can only happen if they work hard for it and set some rules for themselves.

The paradox of the ENFP is that they wear rose coloured glasses during the day and black tinted glasses at night. They are both the rainbow and the sunshine and the moon and the darkness, it depends on if you catch them at their best, or at their worst.

Why ENFPs Aren’t People Pleasers

While Feeling types are generally more likely to be people pleasers than Thinking types, ENFPs are also Perceiving types. ENFPs that are stronger in Perceiving than they are in Feeling will show less of an inclination to “people please”. Perceiving is correlated with Individualism and Enneagram Type Four. ENFPs who are strong in Perceiving tend to be more guarded about their identity and needs. They are more likely to look out for themselves and their own beliefs.

In balanced ENFPs, I see the following trend. ENFPs are incredibly compassionate yet also extremely individualistic. They avoid nonprofit work and helping and supporting other people because they want to protect their own freedom and individuality. But they instead rely on more “free” and “open ended” ways to help and support the community. They may enjoy gift-giving and cheering up and spontaneously caring for another person. They may dislike doing chores for their loved ones and hate feeling tied down or expected to care for or have to support another person.

They are very protective of their rights and do not want to be taken advantage of or manipulated into anything. If you do not expect it, they will be highly caring to you. But if you demand it from them, they will be incredibly cold towards you.

Are ENFPs Melodramatic?

What I see with the ENFP stereotype is a picture of the ENFP as high strung, enthusiastic, crazy, free-spirited, wild, and theatrical. Many picture the ENFP as melodramatic. I think this is an Extroverted stereotype of the ENFP and less Extroverted ENFPs will disagree with this picture.

The stronger the presence of Extroverted Thinking and Extroverted iNtuition in this type, the more “reckless” this type may appear. The more Perceiving, and the more Introverted the subtype of this ENFP, the more relaxed the personality type will appear. ENFPs that are high on Perceiving tend to be more observant. That means they study and react of the room.

That is why I say, ENFPs will only be melodramatic if you are. I say it tongue in cheek, I just mean that ENFPs are not going to be aggressively melodramatic, and that they will not be theatrical unless provoked. If you do not respond to their enthusiasm or cheer, they will quickly tone it down and match your calm. If you provoke or get a rise out of them, or join them in their cheer, they will cheer more loudly too.

The Stress Code: What Personality Type Are You Under Stress?

MBTI Personality Survey, Corona Survey, MBTI Survey, Personality Survey

The situation since the past weeks has hit me really hard. I have felt so anxious lately. My thoughts are everywhere and I find it hard to focus on anything. I am constantly overwhelmed. As I collected those thoughts in myself I thought I wanted to check in with all of you. How are you doing? That’s why I’m doing a survey on the impact of stress on your personality.

While everyone has a flow type, reflecting who they are in a positive state of flow and well-being, the Corona crisis has had a major impact on our personality and behaviour. Today, help me research and understand better how the Corona crisis has impacted you personally. Are you feeling like a different person than usual?

How have you been changed or impacted by everything that is happening around you? Take my survey and help me find out how different types respond to the situation. Has your personality or behaviour changed since these events in any specific way and has this had an impact on your health or well-being? Are you in touch with yourself and how are you managing?

I designed this test to help people find their way back to being themselves even though they feel stress or anxiety about a situation. I think while it is important we make many changes in our lifestyle during these times, it is also important that you can find joy and well-being during even the most difficult situations. I hope this personality survey can be a step in the right direction. I will be looking through the results later and I hope to get a better understanding of how different types are impacted by stress and I hope to share the results with all of you soon. Thank you for the help!

Ways Sensing Types Are Better Than You

5 min read

While it’s easy to develop a bias and to get caught in us vs them thinking, there are many reasons not to underestimate Sensory types. First, let’s talk about the upper edge. The reason why Sensory types tend to be more successful than iNtuitives. Then, let’s talk about how Sensory types use iNtuition differently and ways Sensory types out-intuit iNtuitives. This article can help you as an iNtuitive connect better with sensory types and it can help Sensory types better recognise their own strengths and abilities.

The Upper Edge – Why Sensory Types Outcompete Intuitives

While iNtuitives learn faster, Sensory types have more grit. That means they will sit down longer with and study harder than the average iNtuitive. They are more resilient and dwell less long on mistakes and failures. They are good at keeping a steady course in life. Sensory types will put in more effort into what they do.

They do not get distracted as easily and can maintain attention and focus on a task longer. They get tired less quickly and show more strength in everyday situations. Sensory types think more practically and socially about life and work harder to stay useful and relevant to society. They will pursue more relevant education and more direct strategies to succeed. They ask their community what is requested and then they present this to their community.

Being a Sensory type is not without its share of struggles and problems. Your type can get stuck easily and you can sometimes be too afraid of change. You may ignore ideas that you consider unfeasible, only to later see them grow to become highly profitable. As a Sensory type, you may miss out on chances and new opportunities. As an Intuitive type, you can learn a lot from the Sensing type. Think: How could I become more successful by developing more grit? You might wonder “How can I learn to work harder?” How can I procrastinate less on my ideas? Those are great questions.

How Sensory Types Use iNtuition

First, we have two groups of Sensory types. iNtuitive Third and iNtuitive Last types.

iNtuitive Third types are people that rely on iNtuition everyday as a tool or means to an end. They see iNtuition and brainstorming, and creativity, as ways to solve practical problems that they encounter in life. If there is an issue in the world or in their community, they will use creativity to come up with ideas.

iNtuitive Last types are people that use iNtuition with extreme or unusual conscientiousness. They work harder to fact-check their iNtuition and want to back up assumptions or theories with real data. If there is a new idea or a change in the world, they want to manage this change using Sensing. You run experiments and you think of processes and methods to manage change correctly. You are afraid of getting intuition wrong. And you may worry of acting on false beliefs.

iNtuitive Third Types

ISTPs, ISFPs, ESFJs and ESTJs are iNtuitive Third types. They have Control iNtuition. That means they use iNtuition as a method to get control their situation. You will dismiss unfeasible or extreme or weird ideas while actively pursuing ideas that have immediate practical value or potential.

They will hone their iNtuition in a specific area and can even appear as iNtuitives because they can dream big or have high visions or goals in certain fields. You can be very creative when it serves a concrete value. What you have to recognise is that they will not use iNtuition for fun. They experience no joy in this and will not do it recreatively.

What can be said about this type is that they can be a lot more liberal and flexible in their iNtuition than other types. They can say any crazy idea and care little about having the facts to back it up. They don’t need it to be correct, they just need it to have the right effect in the specific situation.

Intuitive Last Types

ISTJs, ISFJs, ESFPs, and ESTPs are people that use iNtuition with high conscientiousness. While ENFPs and INFJs may go about and chase their dreams without a thought about the possibility of failure or fear, ISTJs and ESFPs are all going to look around before they cross the road at least twice.

These types want ideas to follow a straight process. They want to read the instructions before they try something new. They want to cross-reference their ideas and discuss their theories with other people in the community to make sure it’s not too far out there. As an ESTP, you want to make sure you know what you talk about. Sensory dominant types want to know what they are talking about.

They research extensively and practice often to make sure they are good at what they do. They build a reputation on knowing what they talk about and don’t say something just because it sounds nice.

Let me know if you want to read this article but from an iNtuitive perspective. Don’t worry, iNtuitives, you are also awesome. But don’t forget, Sensory types are cool too.

Erik Thor’s Flow Code Enneagram Test

? Completely new Enneagram Test
? Unique Testing Algorithm
? Written with love and respect for all the types

Erik Thor's Enneagram Test

This is a unique and experimental flow code Enneagram Test. What is so special about a Flow Code Enneagram Test? I study your Enneagram Type based on your thinking patterns when you are in a positive state of flow. I have studied the connections between all the Nine Enneagram Types and the Three Instincts and have learnt the difference between a Social one and a Sexual One.

This is a smart test that helps you pinpoint your true Enneagram type no matter what instinct or behavioural subtype of this type that you are. Recognising that every individual is unique and that there are many different ways to manifest the One’s sense of principles or the Two’s desire to be good, every question you answer is going to reveal multiple things about your personality. This test is made out of 32 questions and will show you which of the Enneagram types you test the most strongly for in about five minutes.
