Personality 101.

From Basic -> Advanced -> Revolutionary -> 🤫

MBTI + GRAPHOLOGY

BASIC

The MBTI, or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a personality framework that categorizes people into 16 different types, which are based on how they prefer to interact with the world around them.

Think of it as a tool to understand yourself and others better.

It's represented by four opposites:

Introvert (I) vs Extrovert (E)

Where you choose to direct your energy.
Do you focus your energy on the external world, people and activities (E)? Or do you focus your energy inward, focusing on your thoughts, feelings, and reflections?

‍Intuitive (N) vs Sensing (S)

How you take in information.
Do you prefer dealing with concrete facts and details and your five senses (S)? Or do you look at patterns or possibilities (N)?

Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F)

How you make decisions.
Do you prefer to make decisions based on logic and objective principles (T)? Or do you make decisions based on personal values while considering how others will be affected (F)?

Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P)

The process in which you prefer to make those decisions.
Do you prefer a structured and decided lifestyle (J)? Or do you prefer to keep your options open, remaining flexible and spontaneous (P)?

‍
Combining these preferences gives you a four-letter code that gives insight into your personality type.

NT (The INtuitive-Thinkers OR 'Rationalists' / 'Intellectuals')
ENTP — The Visionary
INTP — The Thinker
ENTJ — The Commander
INTJ — The Mastermind

NF (The INtuitive-Feelers OR 'Idealists' / 'Dreamers')
ENFP — The Champion
INFP — The Healer
ENFJ — The Giver
INFJ — The Counselor

SP (The Sensing-Perceivers OR 'Artisans' / 'Explorers')
ESTP — The Doer
ESFP — The Performer
ISFP — The Composer
ISTP — The Craftsman

SJ (The Sensing-Judging OR 'Guardians' / 'Protectors')
ESTJ — The Supervisor
ESFJ — The Provider
ISTJ — The Inspector
ISFJ — The Nurturer

Each type has its unique strengths, weaknesses, and challenges.

These types are useful for self-discovery, improving personal relationships, and determining your preferred work and communication styles.

ADVANCED

Each personality type is made up of 8 possible building blocks called 'Cognitive Functions' (The term was coined by Carl Jung):

Ne — Extroverted Intuition
Ni — Introverted Intuition
Se — Extroverted Sensing
Si — Introverted Sensing
Te — Extroverted Thinking
Ti — Introverted Thinking
Fe — Extroverted Feeling
Fi — Introverted Feeling

These building blocks are what ACTUALLY determines your personality, NOT just the 4 letter code.

So just because you're an 'extroverted' personality type, doesn't necessarily mean you like to be around people — or are even good with people for that matter.

There's a lot more nuance involved than that...

Understanding each of the cognitive functions, and how these blocks are stacked for each of the 16 personality types, helps you understand that nuance a lot more.

Description of each Cognitive Function:

INTUITION 💨 ☴

Possibilities & Potentials

Ne — Extroverted Intuition
• External application of possibilities
• Intuitively searching for more ideas, whilst connecting them to seemingly unrelated concepts/things to create even more ideas — divergent thinking.
• "What COULD be"

Ni — Introverted Intuition
• Internal processing of meaning and vision
• Intuitively searching for one final, singular outcome for the individual — convergent thinking.
• "What WILL be"

‍
If solving a complex problem or strategizing, the Ne sees/focuses/intuits ALL potential paths of failure/success, the Ni sees/focuses/intuits the CORRECT (and sometimes unseen) path.

SENSING 🪨 ☷

Reality & Details

Se — Extroverted Sensing
• Focuses on the present
• Realistic — Gathers objective information from experiences in present reality
• About stimulation and excitement
• Seeks intense and novel sensations
• "What IS."

Si — Introverted Sensing
• Focuses on the past
• Subjective — Interprets information from experiences in the past
• About consistency and stability
• Seeks comfort and caution
• "What WAS."

When visiting a new city, the Si will compare their current experience to a past one, attempting to simulate those same exciting experiences, or 'play it safe', whereas the Se will be more inclined to try new things, live in the moment, and engage in whatever feels the most exciting at the moment.

THINKING 🌊 ☵

Logic & Rationality

Te — Extroverted Thinking
• Uses external facts and resources to categorize and arrange those ideas into coherent systems and modes of understanding
• Focused on what OTHERS think is true or false — makes use of the knowledge of others.
• "HOW to do it."

Ti — Introverted Thinking
• Uses internal logic to understand things, critique things and determine their own independent theories.
• Focused on what THEY think is true or false — critiques the knowledge of others.
• "WHY it is."

If learning math, the Te cares solely about the result, and they neglect the process. This may get them the right answer, but they won't understand how or why they got it, nor do they care to. The Ti will not understand the answer unless they understand the process — each step needs to be analyzed and understood.

FEELING 🔥 ☲

Morals & Ethics

Fe — Extroverted Feeling
• Focused on the feelings of others
• Focused on ethics and what's best for the GROUP — harmony.
• "What WE need."

Fi — Introverted Feeling
• Focused on the feelings of oneself
• Focused on the individual's morals — right or wrong.
• "What is important."

If a group of people are trying to decide where to eat, the Fe will try to accommodate everyone's wants before their own, and the Fi will favour what they feel is best for themselves.

‍

These are crude simplifications, but you get the idea...

E/I is where you direct your energy.
N/S is how you take in information from that directed energy.
T/F is how you make decisions.
J/P is the process of making those decisions.

‍

Each personality has 4 MAIN building blocks.

These blocks are ordered and organized in the following order:

1. DOMINANT
Preferred and most natural.

2. AUXILIARY
Supports and accentuates the strength.

3. TERTIARY
Counterbalances the auxiliary — can be a great strength, or a great weakness.

4. INFERIOR
Competes with the dominant — the weakness.

Let's look at an INTJ's cognitive function stack (or 'blocks'):

Ni — Dominant
This function allows INTJs to perceive underlying patterns and future possibilities internally.

Te — Auxiliary
Supports Ni by organizing and structuring external information coherently.

Fi — Tertiary
Provides a personal value system and depth of feeling, though less developed.

Se — Inferior
The least preferred function, offering a connection to the immediate sensory world, which can be a source of growth and balance.

Notice how the blocks flip sequentially between E vs I AND in opposites by position.

If the Ni is in Position 1 (DOMINANT), then the Se will be in Position 4 (INFERIOR)

Similarly, if Ni were in Position 2 (AUXILIARY), then Se would be in Position 3 (TERTIARY)

Here are some other examples of the INTJ axes:

Ni-Se Axis: This axis ensures a balance between deep internal intuition and awareness of the external sensory environment.

Te-Fi Axis: Creates a balance between external logical decision-making and internal values and feelings.

This axis system ensures that if one function is primarily used in an introverted or extroverted way, its counterpart will balance it out in the opposite manner.

Here's another example, looking at the ENTPs cognitive function stack:

Ne — Dominant
Enables ENTPs to explore abstract ideas and potential in the external world.

Ti — Auxiliary
Provides an internal framework for analyzing and making sense of information logically.

Fe — Tertiary
Offers an awareness and consideration of others' feelings and societal values.

Si — Inferior
The least developed function, relating to personal past experiences and sensory details.

The ENTP axes:

Ne-Si Axis: Balances innovative potential with personal historical and sensory detail.

Ti-Fe Axis: Integrates logical reasoning with emotional intelligence and social harmony.

Notice the opposites?

INTJ is the mirrored axes of the ENTP.

‍

These cognitive functions also explain why some extroverted types may appear to be introverted — as is the case with the ENTP.

This is because their dominant Ne function doesn't directly involve communication with others, rather, it's about finding patterns and possibilities.

And their auxiliary Ti is inward, meaning they will analyze these patterns and possibilities in their mind.

This often requires them to sit alone to process thoughts, hence why the average individual may perceive the ENTP as an introvert.

REVOLUTIONARY

Understand that the following is completely novel information that virtually no one in the personality community speaks about, believes, or thinks. This is the cutting edge.‍

The TRUE Purpose Of Personality

The average pleb looks at personality as a kind of fun way to understand themselves and others.

While this is indeed valuable, it's only the tip of the iceberg.

Learning about personality is not an option, it's a REQUIREMENT.

This is true for anyone who wants to obtain any semblance of success and REAL personal growth.

A major purpose in your life is to unlock your authentic personality and activate your TRUE potential in THIS life.

The first step in this process is to 'know thyself.' (You'd think after 2500 years this would be a more popular sentiment)

It's only through knowing yourself that you can truly ACCEPT yourself, which then allows you to:

• Accentuate your strengths
• Compensate for your weaknesses
• ‍Change who you are entirely

"We can't go forward except from the place we happen to be." - Carl Jung

And if you don't know where you happen to be, how can you expect to move forward?

Direction requires a starting point.

Upon true understanding and acceptance, you gain psychological wholeness, which is the elimination of the strength and weaknesses dichotomy, into a whole state of Being.

In other words, instead of being an ENTP, you become an EINSTFJP.

You become formless.

Multiple Personalities

You CAN and DO (likely) have multiple personalities.

They can be split into 2, 3 or 4 — but 2 is the most common.

This leaves you with a MAJOR and a MINOR personality.

The minor SERVES the major.

For example, if you are a major 80% INTJ with a minor 20% INTP your INTJ personality will be fuelled with more creative exploration and innovative ideas. Whereas if the 80% INTJ had a minor 20% ISTJ it would gain more precision, reliability, and groundedness in reality, with a keen focus on the details.

MASSIVE difference there.

This explains why:

• There's so much variance within each personality type
• Success may vary among individuals with similar personalities.
• People are so often mistyped as having the wrong personality

Depending on their daily activities, someone may use that minor more often than their major.

In the INTJ-ISTJ example, imagine someone working as an accountant, being forced to crunch numbers all day. Their N is rarely required. Over time, this will likely result in a shift towards the ISTJ, and the atrophy of the INTJ.

Your brain is a muscle, thus your personality is as well. If you use one muscle group at the expense of another, one will grow, and the other will shrink.

Which brings us to...

The Malleability Of Personality

Your personality is NOT set in stone.

It changes as YOU change.

Age, occupation, and the people you associate with, all play a factor in your current personality, and the development/progression of it.

The closer you get to your highest Self, the closer you get to your authentic personality.

When you look at the aforementioned job example of the accountant, it's so obvious, yet still, people think your personality can't be changed.

It's pure 🤡🌎 designed to keep you limited and blind to your inner Godly potential.

DO NOT ACCEPT IT.

Degrees Of Personality

All of this is only possible because I am analyzing DEGREES in personality.

As I stated before, it's VERY rare you're 100% of any personality type, let alone 100% of a single attribute.

NO ONE is 100% Extroverted (E).

That would be absurd.

I analyze to a degree of 3.

So you can be E, EE or EEE.

You can also be right in the middle and be an EI (Extrovert/Introvert or 'ambivert')

Again, this plays a MASSIVE factor in how your personality manifests itself in reality.

The ONLY way To Determine Personality

Contrary to popular belief, it's NOT through vague, biased, and generalized questions online.

Nor is it through a 'professional personality typer' who thinks because you say 'I feel' you're an F type.

The only TRUE way to analyze personality is through a technology called Graphology, which is the study of handwriting analysis.

It was relatively popular in the late 1900s, but was phased out as 'pseudoscience' by the mainstream.

Wonder why... �

The reason this is so powerful is because it's COMPLETELY objective, as it's based on biometrics — the subconscious movements of your hand which are a representation of the neural connections in your brain.

"Writing is the gateway to your psyche" — Me

Through handwriting analysis, I can tell someone's UNIQUE personality (1 in 521,017 possibilities)

Show me your writing, I'll show you your life.
