Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Marlies about what it's like to be an INFP Fi-Ne CP/S(B) FF. We started the interview talking about her Feminine Si and how she doesn't remember anything. Marlies said she hates playing games because most of them requires remembering a fact which she remembers nothing. We then talked about her Play and how she enjoys group settings. Next, we talked about her double masculine NF consume and how aggressive she is at consuming new information. It becomes bad because her ST blast becomes underused as a result and annoys people when she can't get to a point. We then talked about SF sleep and the importance of identifying your emotions, especially negative ones and communicating it to others when you're feeling triggered. Marlies also talked about connecting with others through work is not very important in her life at the moment even if she has extroverted thinking at the bottom. Finally, we talked about her tester modality and her keen sense of smell. Watch this interview here:

have their scientific findings been published?

Not yet. Last I head, their goal is to get enough of a big sample size and then send their findings to 23andme or Dario Nardi.

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

Not yet. Last I head, their goal is to get enough of a big sample size and then send their findings to 23andme or Dario Nardi.

Great. They really need to start making those findings more available if they want to be taken seriously

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Dono about what it's like to be an ISFP Fi-Se CP/B(S) FF. Dono is the most extroverted ISFP type which is a blessing in disguise because he has double activated Te at the bottom. This means his biggest fear of tribe hate is less likely to happen because of his double activated play and engaging the tribe on a regular basis. Dono talked about the sense of validation he gets from being married and having kids and he would not know where to get happiness if he never pursued this path in his life. He also talked about enjoying connect with others through work since he is a programmer. The biggest problem he seems to face is not knowing how NF works. He is NF sleep last (Ni+Fi) and he just can't figure out what it is. He has some inkling on what it is but he doesn't have a solid grasp of it and it's something he wants to learn more about so he can have full use of his function and animal stack.

Their findings is currently inside their paywall and they're purposely not being public with it right now because they have some gaps that needs to be filled. For example, there's not many ISFJ or ISFJs in general that is getting typed. Same goes for many ENFJs and ESFJs. Their theory is there is 32 variations of each MBTI types and they want a sample of about 100 of each variation before they go public with them.

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Frank James and Joyce Meng about their similarities and differences as INFJs. Frank James is a standard INFJ who is tribe above self while Joyce is the jumper INFJ who is self above tribe. During the interview, Frank discussed being tribe above self and feeling weird whenever he receives compliments. He also talked about his demon Ti and how he second guesses it all the time. Joyce then talked about putting the pressure on herself and standing her ground on anything NT related if she has to. And Joyce certainly grabs whatever compliments gets thrown her way. During the interview, we talked about the INFJ type not being the rarest type as stereotype would have it be. However, Frank James' specific type,Play last INFJ, is actually the RAREST INFJ type. There's currently no one right now typed the same as Frank James making his version of INFJ very rare and unique. Many INFJs are jumper NT-like INFJs like Joyce, hence why many of them get mistyped as something else when in fact, they really are INFJs. We also discussed the subject of "are you only as strong as your weakest link". For both Frank and Joyce's case, their weakest link is that extroverted sensing at the bottom. Frank used the analogy of having to pay the world back for not using your 4th function. He said he can use his Ni, Fe, and Ti all day but if he completely neglects the Se at the bottom, then life will come after him in some way. I used the analogy that your 4th function is like taxes, you need to pay it eventually. If you avoid paying it, you will get in serious trouble. So the conclusion for INFJs is to work on using their extroverted sensing at the bottom to avoid any major issues from happening. Watch the interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Farah about what it's like to be an INTJ Ni-Fi SC/P(B) FF. The first thing we discussed is her being a double decider being balanced with her Fi and Te (self and tribe). We discussed her decision to take off the hijab as a muslim after wearing it since she was a kid. She said it was a decision she has decided long time ago but because she is blast last (Ni+Te), she put it off for a long time before pulling the trigger. This of course caused some chaos for her family because as a muslim, she's not suppose to take it off permanently like she decided to. She also said her masculine Ni was building on her worldview as a muslim and Farah said she even memorized the first 3 chapters of the Quran before her Ni worldview was shattered and she had to rebuild. Farah talked about her feminine Se and not being afraid of the physical world. The problem it seems is her sleep first animal where she's already processed the feeling she'd get from doing something that's suppose to be exciting. As a result, she won't feel excited when going on a roller coaster, for example, because she already processed the feeling leaving her disappointed. She said she wants to skydive eventually. It does seem that the only way to surprise her is to spontaneously take her to do something with no planning involved. In the later parts of the interview, we discussed her tester sexual modalities, her ExxP swing, her ST play, her PB swing, and exposure therapy. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Holly about what it's like to be an ESTJ Te-Ne PC/S(B) FM. During the interview, Holly talked about her double masculine NT play and how she loves problem solving with the tribe. However, because she has ST blast last, and also because she has Fi at the bottom, she has trouble making the final decision and usually leaves it to the tribe to make the final call. Holly also talked about her feminine Si and feminine Fi and how taking time for herself to process her feelings is a challenge. This also includes setting boundaries. We then discussed her double activated NF consume and how she loves reading and learning about things that helps her grow as a person. Holly then talked about her IxxP swing and how she never ever wants to go back to a place like that again hence why she is working diligently on her SF sleep. According to Holly, even though blasting is hard, she is not triggered by it because it's still her first two functions. At the end of the day, the Fi at the bottom is what would trigger her with the feelings of self loathing. Finally, we covered her visual and tester sexual modalities with her having a good eye for aesthetics and a keen sense of smell. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Ezra about what it's like to be an ENTP Ne-Ti CS/B(P) FF. During this conversation, Ezra talked about being obsessed with the double masculine NT consume. He said that when he goes to work, he always plays detective work instead of using his play to interact with the tribe. The weird exception is when he really knows someone in which case his demon Fe will come out more often. We also discussed his difficulty with back-and-forth tribe interactions. Ezra has a tendency to go back inside his head to conclude the conversation instead of letting it build up during conversations. We also discussed Si and how as an ExxP, it's hard to get to it. That means once you're locked and focused using it, you'd get mad if someone disturbed you because it was so hard to get started organizing, to begin with. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Paul about what it's like to be an INTJ Ni-Fi SC/B(P) FM. During the interview, we talked about the play last mask that Paul would put up in group situations. As a play last INTJ, Paul's biggest fear is the chaos created by the tribe as opposed to missing information that he did not consume. Liam talked about enjoying consuming so much that he is dumbfounded that his consume is double feminine. He talked about enjoying visual novels as his way of enjoying SF consume. Paul also talked about his double masculine NT blast which he says is what people see him as since that is the one that appears very strong. During our talks, it appears that his NT blast is extremely powerful because of his sleep processing. He doesn't leave any stones untouched while going over his known information and by the time he blasts it to the tribe, the information is as pure and pristine as it could be. Finally, we talked about his sexual modalities being visual and a tester. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Eric about what it's like to be an INTP Ti-Si SB/P(C) MF. Eric is a unique INTP because he is not very NT like compared to other INTPs. In fact, he hates figuring things out and prefers to outsource that to the tribe. Eric is double activated on the extroverted feeling and he enjoys tribe interactions. He still wants to be the centre of attention being an IxxP but he also likes doing nice things for the tribe. Eric talked about having observer problems as an INTP because of his consume last. Typical IxxJ problems like printers not working are also something that triggers him. He did say that unlike a true observer, he can normally fix the broken printer since he is balanced with control and chaos. Eric also talked about his obsessive blasts and how he has a tendency to ruin the vibe because of blasting instead of playing. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Mathew about what it's like to be an ENTJ Te-Se PC/B(S) MF. During the interview, Mathew talked about overdoing the tribe interaction and consuming and sacrificing sleep. He said the day he received his official typing results, he was up until 4am consuming information on his favourite sports team and didn't go to bed until around 8am in the morning. He also talked about not doing the emotional processing. He did say that when emotions do hit him, oftentimes, it is anger. After doing some prodding, it turns out his anger comes out from two things. First, it comes out when someone is behaving in an unjust manner that is selfish which shows his ExxJness wanting everyone to be fair and equal. The other side of his anger is very interesting because it's the complete opposite. He said that when people get in his way when he's trying to go for something, it makes him angry. This shows him in an IxxP swing doing things for himself and the tribe holding him back from achieving. Mathew also shared a story of when he goes on vacation and that's when he becomes a selfish IxxP and wants to do what he wants instead of what the tribe wants. We concluded the interview by talking about his audio and kinesthetic mode of learning and him being a chaotic ENTJ as a result of being a jumper type. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I talked to Claire and Lynda about their similarities and differences as ISFJs. The stereotype of ISFJs working in healthcare is definitely valid as both individuals work in that field. The big difference however is with Lynda being self above tribe being a jumper ISFJ (Si+Ti) while Claire is tribe above self-being the standard ISFJ (Si-Fe). During the interview, Claire talked about being uncomfortable being the centre of attention. Lynda, however, didn't seem to mind either way as long as she gets to do what she wants. We also talked about being an IxxJ control freak and Lynda talked about making a mess with Jello with her kids when they were younger to train herself not to freak out hard when it comes to chaos. Claire talked about perhaps being the bad cop with her kids because of her lead SF blast nagging them. However, both Claire and Lynda are double-deciders and they said ultimately, they want their kids to make their own life decision because they are their own person. We also talked about Fe shaming people and they said they don't really do it that much because their Ti acts as brakes from going overbearing with doing that. Claire shared how much she dislikes the idea of people thinking you would be a bad parent if your kid is a troublemaker because you're different individuals. We also discussed their ExxP swing and Lynda said she is doing it more now as an adult going on trips and cruises and just enjoying life. Claire said she did that more when she was in college and had a partying phase. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I talked to Tiana and Jany about their similarities and differences as standard and jumper ESFPs. This was honestly one if not my most favourite ESFP interview yet. We started the interview by talking about their most significant difference where Tiana (standard ESFP) is self above tribe while Jany (jumper ESFP) is tribe above self. Jany had the quote of the day when she released an explosive double masculine sleep last rant between the 8-minute to 8:45 minute mark of the interview. Another great takeaway from the interview is Tiana being double introverted feels like she's letting other people down with the demon Te while Jany feels like she's letting herself down with demon Fi. It was also interesting that what made them happy was completely opposite. For Jany who is a double extrovert, happiness to her is alone time being introspective or doing what she loves. For Tiana, it's using her blast and being productive since she is blast last. I also learned that one of the most important things when talking to ESFPs is getting to their core because outside their Se lead is that deep NF sleep. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I talked to Lauren and Samuel about their similarities and differences as ESTPs. Lauren who is a standard ESTP demonstrated how she does her ST report. She also talked about being self above tribe and usually doing things for herself first before other people. Lauren is still a double-decider and knows when to go and help the tribe if she focuses on herself too much. Samuel then talked about it's easier for him to help other people first before himself. Even if Samuel wants to do stuff for himself, he always checks the tribe first which he finds annoying. Samuel and Lauren talked about using their Fe to get their emotions out. They also discussed their issues with their Ni. For Samuel, it's his NT sleep last while for Lauren, it's her issues using her NF blast. Specifically, Lauren can't see herself motivating people because she doesn't feel like it's her right to do it while Samuel feels obligated to do it being tribe above self. One big thing both Samuel and Lauren shared is their NT sleep. Lauren said she gets annoyed when a personal trainer in the gym tells her how she should be doing her workout or someone at work is telling her how she should be doing her job because to her, she can NT figure it out herself. As for Samuel, he's figured out in detail how to get someone their results in his day job as a Fitness Trainer and when his client (especially the ExxP ones) gets bored and wants to hop to something else, it really annoys the hell out of him.

Hello everyone! In this interview, I talked to Julia and Maggie about their similarities and differences as standard ESFJ and jumper ESFJ. Julia (the standard ESFJ) is lead SF and for her, the physical values of the tribe are very important. Maggie, however, is the lead NF and therefore focuses on abstract values as opposed to physical values. The biggest topic in this interview is their ST sleep and NT consume. Julia talked about her feeling of incompetence which is a vicious cycle. Because her ST sleep is a person, she doesn't want to talk about it and she then comes across as incompetent. Then, a part of her starts thinking she is actually incompetent and helpless when that's actually not true. Had Julia done some sleep processing, she would be reminded of who she is and her accomplishments which points to the fact that she is in fact competent and accomplished. Maggie has NT consume last and her biggest problem is not planning ahead of time the consequences of anything cringy she might say. Julia talked about NT planning in detail about how she will get herself out of trouble after doing massive amounts of Fe emotional vomiting. Maggie won't because her external self-awareness is a blind spot. It's not until later on when Maggie is doing her ST sleep processing when she can access some of her NT consume that she would realizes how she comes across and would leave her feeling horrified.

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got to talk to Brennen and Love about their similarities and differences as standard ISTP and jumper ISTP. Brennen who is the standard ISTP is very ST clear. This results from him being lead ST and being info-dominant with consume and blast in his first three animals. Love; however, comes across as very INFJ-like with double-activated Ni and double-activated NF blast. Love appears to gravitate toward philosophy while Brennen is more focused on getting things done and being effective in reality. The one thing they both have in common is both have double-activated extroverted feelings and do care about the tribe. Watch this interview here:

Hello everyone! In this interview, I talked to Jeanette and Savannah about their similarities and differences as standard and jumper ENTJs. Jeanette, the standard ENTJ, seems to blast (Ni+Te) significantly more than Savannah did. Her lead sleep appears to make her have to finish the entire blast from start to finish without any interruptions from the tribe. With Savannah, she will blast but her play (Te+Se) is more prominent and will bounce back and forth with the tribe in favour of completing the blast. Jeanette explained sleep (Ni+Fi) so well that it feels like needing to go to the bathroom. When she needs to sleep process, she has to find a place right away to just sit down and think about things before going back to talk to people. With Savannah's play, it seems that doing things on the fly is preferred and is more realistic than the standard ENTJ's method of big picture thinking and planning but it has trouble with manifesting it in reality. We also covered Savannah's double feminine consume and how beneficial it is when staying in touch with what's fashionable at the moment instead of going back to your favourite fashion that is no longer in style. Both Savannah and Jeanette talked about the differences in personality with their kids and how if you don't use all your functions and animals, you will mess up your kids.

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got to talk to Sanya about what it's like to be an ESFJ Fe-Ne PC/B(S) FF. First, we talked about her NF play and how much she loves talking to people about personality, astrology, or other "woo woo" topics. Even though she knows a lot of those topics are "woo woo", she still enjoys discussing them with the tribe. The unique thing about Sanya is her double masculine NT consume (Ne+Ti) and her being info-dominant. She talked about doing aggressive research every time she wants to solve a problem or get a better understanding of something. Consume is correlated with external self-awareness and because she has it as double masculine and a saviour, she's unlike most ExxJs. Her double masculine NT consume makes her see herself at all times and she can actually do some double deciding because she can see herself very clearly and knows when she is in the wrong. That's why Sanya said it's hard for her to think black and white about people when it's obvious how she sees herself thanks to that saviour consume animal. We also talked about her ST sleep last and she said that where she feels incompetent by is that last animal, especially the ST part of it. She said she hates doing the ST and would rather outsource it to someone else. Although, the few times when she had to build something like her kid's bunk beds or set up new floors in her home gave her a big sense of accomplishment. We then got to the topic of people since she is a decider and we talked about true evil versus people who do bad things as a result of their circumstances. She also discussed her double feminine SF blast and how she likes to make people feel comfortable when they come over and she makes them their favourite tea just the way they like it. We also talked about her being a tester and visual. We eventually talked about Ne people entertaining the idea of an apocalypse happening and it sounds kind of fun if that sort of situation happens.

Hello everyone! In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Jessie about what it's like to be an ISFJ Si-Ti SB/C(P) FM. Jessie is a very rare personality type and after receiving her typing results, she felt validated that the solutions to her problems are going to look very different from other individuals since her personality combination is quite unique. We discussed her double feminine double activated ST sleep and how she tends to forget what she has already processed. Jessie said it's annoying that she thinks she made a new revelation only to check her journal and find out she discovered it before and she just forgot. We also talked about her SF blast and she said she no longer uses it to tell the tribe how to behave properly because it just makes the situation worst and because she is self above tribe, she doesn't feel responsible to do it anyways. We then discussed her NT consume and she said she does research in short bursts just enough information that she needs to get the job done. When we talked about being NF play last, it seems like finding her life purpose is something she has trouble with. Doing the back and forth "ping-pong" like a conversation with the tribe is also difficult and she hates making small talk. Jessie also talked about feeling awkward when engaging the tribe because she just wants to jump right in talking about deep stuff instead of jumping through the hoops of small talk at the front end. We also talked about putting her best self forward all the time which drains her energy because she's not always feeling her best. We then talked about the concept of "it's okay not to be okay" and Jessie said she's working on that. Finally, we discussed her sexual modalities being visual and tester. Watch this interview here:
