Tom Cruise is great. I can’t think of a better example of The American Type. As I said in my last article, America is ISTP. In addition to that, it is an enneatype 3 ISTP. For those that understand enneagram, great. For those that don’t, Google is your friend. 🙂 Winning. That is what America […]

Extraverts Aren’t Necessarily Social: Part 2
An antisocial extravert? Huh? OK, calm down. This is not actually all that new an idea. To give you some idea of what I’m getting at, I’d ask you to go back in time to around the Greeks in their more golden age. They had come up with 4 basic temperaments, which they called humors: […]
Extraverts Aren’t Necessarily Social
Many people that I would consider an extraverted Myers-Briggs type aren’t social. I began to notice this with the ENFJ temperament (particularly the one falling at enneatype 8). Yet, in the popular consciousness, the traits of extraversion seem inextricably linked to a certain liking for social interaction. I’m going to challenge this firmly entrenched truism […]
A Political Definition of Introverted Feeling (As a Reaction to Te)
I think one of the best ways to define the introverted feeling function of Myers-Briggs is as a reaction to extraverted thinking mandates, which are often political in nature. Ironically, introverted feelers are often the very type that keeps the system going, but, when power oversteps its boundaries too much, these very people are often […]

Got a Problem? Get a Program.
Computers exist to solve problems. Inasmuch as you are a computer, your Myers-Briggs temperament indicates the particular problem to be solved and the type of solution that you are best engineered to provide to that problem. So, by these lights, the basic problem of any temperament is the cognitive function that falls in the inferior […]

If You Were A Computer…
Hi my little microchips! How are you whirring today? So, I got a neat little analogy to explain how most (if not all) of the Myers-Briggs function positions work in any given type (dominant function, auxiliary function, tertiary etc). The computer is probably the most advanced thing humans have ever built and I have a […]
