The goal of the MBTI Flow Types is to describe you at your best rather than to stereotype who you are in more general terms. Are you the INFP stereotype or are you the INFP flow type? Or are you perhaps, both? The INFP Stereotype vs INFP Flow Type The INFP Stereotype The INFP in …
Online, Thinking (T) types are often branded as prone to unethical and socially irresponsible behaviour. They’re sometimes associated with what in the Big 5 is known as Disagreeableness, being able to disregard social norms and conventions, and with it, moral norms and values that are held as important in our society or in our in-group …
There is no objective way to type another person and no science that can verify your assessments of another person, so always type with humility and with the realisation that you can’t ultimately prove anything. But there are objective and scientific methods to do personality psychology in a way that will drive personal growth and …

I am sometimes typed as an INFJ, sometimes as an INFP, sometimes as an ESFP, sometimes as an INTP. I am often typed as an ENTP or ENFP, and frequently, people will comment that I am an ESFJ. Some think I am manipulative, some think I am nice. Some think I am too sensitive. Some …

Maybe you’re just a smart sensor? So you posted a question asking whether you were an INFJ or an INFP. But the question you might be avoiding, that dreaded question, is that you’re not actually doubting between that at all. In fact, what you’re really wondering about is: am I a sensor, or am I …

Is the stress and anxiety from not being able to live up to unhealthy social norms and practices driving us to become more open to fascism and dictators? Do unhealthy personas create dictators? ►►► …
Feelers tend to see thinking types as cold. Thinking types tend to see feeling types as weak. Intuitives tend to see sensors as shallow. Sensors tend to see iNtuitives as naive or unrealistic. But often, what we are seeing is just the result of our own type bias. We have our own preference for one …
An acquaintance of mine recently suggested I was an INTP, like Carl Jung, and I wanted to say why I’m an INFJ, and why Carl Jung is not an INTP. INTPs value Diagnostics (TP) Creativity (NP) Philosophy (IN) and Perfection (IT). They project a set perspective or viewpoint on reality and they study the …
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 …
This is an excerpt from my book, The Next Steps For Neojungian Typology. There has been a lot of research on introversion and extroversion. But surprisingly, very little of this research actually connects to the original definition of the term, coined by Jung. Why has introversion been so misunderstood and what is the misunderstanding exactly? …
So – you might’ve heard ENFJs described as liars. Or perhaps you’ve heard ENTPs and ESTPs described as sociopaths. Perhaps you think INTJs are psychopaths. Maybe you think INFJs are prophets. Or perhaps you think INFPs are hopelessly impractical. Let’s talk about that. Watch this video on YouTube
