Couldn’t figure out how to write a review on Spotify 😢- But I wanted to help Antonia out!! Oh my gosh: Where do I even start??? You both have had such an impact on my life!!! The way you present information beckons the listener to really consider themselves. Is THAT me or is THIS me? I thought I was INFP for a long time. Then I thought I was INFJ. Now I know I’m ENFJ 😊. I just needed comprehensive, witty, down-to-earth, genuine, and insightful sources like Joel and Antonia to validate that type really does look different for different people. But it’s all about “where your head is at” (your cognition). PH has helped me understand those I love in ways I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise! I love the style of how you teach these concepts. I’m fan-girling, but I can’t help it 😅 Thank you so very much for what you do and always being authentic while doing it! 💜💜💜
I don’t have an iTunes account, Antonia, but I just want to say how helpful and interesting I find your input to be. And Joel too! It’s been so awesome to listen to you guys on Spotify. I’ve been binging for a year now. It truly has been a transformative and valuable experience applying what I have learned in my life.
I would love to see a debate/discussion between the two of you and Jordan Peterson on the topic. Would serve as a highly insightful dialogue on various personality-related perspectives.
Traits is some thing you develop in your environments how you were brought up Traits are behavior it can change when our upbringing changes our type can't change we are wired differently .
For the longest time I have known I was an INxJ type and it took me about two years to figure out that the entire time I had not taken my personality traits into account. Ofc intjs and infjs have a lot of common personality traits and such, but after a while I had realized I was an intj the entire time. I just like to think that my Fe and Te were balanced at one point or another.
The wiring of the mind. I think it's important to know why it happens. cognitive functions and how they accurd. I mean from day one of humanity. They has to be a reason we get pleasure from being in our dominant function. Studies suggest extraverts have more serotonin. The functions will narrow down into a feeling or something biological. If it becomes possible to determine where it begins. Then it will be more helpful. I think watching your 2 or 3 year old makes it easier to see how humans flip functions. If the brain wiring is set then how does it know. Why would humans need to be wired this way.
Guys, I really love your podcast and appreciate you so much. I've been listening to your podcasts for several years now, and it always feels so insightful and teaching and can really help one grow and develop. I will say however, I think you went too far this time with your hypotheses about the reason MBTI is not yet welcomed by the mainstream psychology as a field, especially Joel. I'm a clinical psychologist. I'm not an American, so I can't account exactly for the culture there, but I do not feel at all there's a rejection of giving power to individuals. On the contrary, I think decent psychologists, in therapy and in research, actually desire for people to gain more power to help themselves. I believe it might be actually the fear of giving too much power to theory and generalisations, that is making psychologists hesitate to engage with MBTI. To take on a theory that says we are all wired in certain ways that cannot be changed at the core and are present for one's entire life (kind of like blood types)... these are very big claims, that warrant stronger evidence to be adopted. I think people who are very proficient in MBTI can understand more about the ways it can be used for people to be "liberated from their boxes", but it can take years of learning very thoroughly to get to that point. So there's the risk of using a limiting system that might not be fully true. I believe if there was stronger evidence for the MBTI system, and how it can actually be used for self development and mental health, then more psychologists would adopt it.
How do you see your type separate from your behavior and traits?

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I will definitely be using it as wind under the sails.

Thanks Ryan for the comments. It would be cool to have more research around some of these ideas you posit. ~ Joel
