    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. Thinking and Perceiving in itself is rarely an aggressive or controlling function. INFJs under the influence of ESTP don’t turn into some sort of shadow jocks.…

    Lots of INFPs are constantly asking themselves how they can become better sensors and thinkers. How can I become more disciplined? They ask me.

    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…

    My last two articles, on the ‘Hero’ (flow-state) and ‘Rival’ represent the most well known state of opposing archetypes for any Jungian-based personality type.  While the ‘Hero’ subtype represents a state of optimal ease and flow, while the ‘Rival’ represents the state where the innate gifts of the ‘Hero’ are most eclipsed, favoring a darker,…

    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…

    Let me in todays article show you how different types of introverts may come to develop to manage their subjective preference.

    ENFPs, according to the classical MBTI literature have been described as enthusiastic, curious, investigative, upbeat, friendly, and many other positive terms.  However, no human being can possibly remain in that state forever…. It simply wouldn’t be realistic to say the least.  Most notably for ENFPs, it is pretty well established that their emotional highs can…

    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…

    ENXPs enter a flow when they use their ability to read patterns and to investigate hidden patterns around them. There are ENXPs that have an average, high, or exceptional ability to read patterns. There are more and less creative ENXPs. The higher your intelligence, the more patterns you will pick up on.

    Neojungian Academy has developed a novel framework by which we all are able to view our own personality type.  What’s really cool about it all is that each type has an extremely well-defined flow state….A state that we all uniquely feel at home with.  It is our ‘home base’ where all the really awesome qualities…
