I'll send back a detailed explanation and theories and insights as well as suggestions for further study to help you become more aware of yourself, your thinking patterns, cognition, and development.
Use Personality Psychology to get to know yourself and grow your emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and consciousness by at least 11%. By better understanding yourself, you can make 44% smarter decisions at work, in relationships, and in your personal life.
People who engage in self-development are more 3x more aware of potential blindspots and flaws and better at working to improve and become more versatile and adaptable people. By investing in your personal growth, you improve cognitive flexibility and become at least 15% more skilled at interpersonal relationships.
I'm widely specialized in psychology and philosophy, primarily on the work of Carl Jung, Adler, Maslow, and the theory of Flow and optimal experience. People come to me to learn about the 16 Personalities, the MBTI, and the Big Five, as well as Neurodivergence, and modern psychological theories.
People sometimes ask me if personality types really exist. No, they don't, and Carl Jung didn't believe in them either. They're just a tool to start a discussion to get you to learn more about different ways of thinking about the world.

    He did not say he doesn't believe in personality types, or classification based on individual characteristic patterns in general. He said they exist as a tool or as he said "instrumentum" for practical psychology. It's just that he doesn't use it in a different setting, as looking at people and communicating your perceptions of them through a class system of behavioral and cognitive patterns would have 0 benefit to any goal you would want to reach in that scenario.

    I don’t think it’s my job or responsibility to try and ‘figure you out’ to not offend you. It’s an impossible task that always leads to disappointment. If you’re an introvert. You’re an introvert. You like being alone. You prefer to be alone. If you try and make friends. Even the thought of it makes you anxious. So, yeah, you’re introverted fr a reason. Same for an extrovert. Ask them to sit still in an empty room. And they will have a panic attack. They need people and external stimuli to function. Trying to be something you’re not always leads to failure, disappointment and even more self doubt.

    It helps to an extent. Even if it is only to an extent, that doesn't change the fact that it does help to an extent. A particular personality type may commonly feel aversive to something and arranging a place for those folks would be different compared to other types. So, in a similar way, it does have a practical use and it can also help us improve ourselves by giving us new options. I, personally, believe that the psychologist wishes to convey that we shouldn't 100% rely on the test and view others from an already constructed view of their personality type. It can cause us to discriminate certain types based on our likes and dislikes and lead us to creating a mental wall in front of that person

  • @imaginarypizookie6472

    For years, I've tried to convince myself and others that I'm ENFP. However, my longstanding social anxiety disorder, coupled with avoidant personality disorder, tell a different story altogether. BTW: NOT saying it's impossible for ENFPs to suffer from social anxiety. I have raging social phobia. It inhibits my entire personality. It's a bit like being trapped in a suffocating box where you're unable to flex a muscle to punch through while the walls keep closing in on you. I seem like the wettest of all blankets. A total stick in the mud. The cognitive dissonance is unbearable. Feeling as though my inner essence forever fails to match up with my external reality. Anyway, long story short, I'm not an ENFP. Even though I relate to the majority of what was said here. It's not often I find people describing ENFPs as shy and socially anxious; I used to idolize this type beyond belief, overcompensating for my debilitating social anxiety by identifying as one. Rigging all the tests. Lying to myself. I've accepted the truth. The fact I am an introvert. I don't lead with an extroverted function. It's not how I think, how I interact with the world, and that's fine. Still enjoyed listening to this as somebody who also grapples with all-consuming cognitive dissonance and shyness/shame. I watched this video 4-5 years ago to justify that I can still be ENFP, even amidst my social anxiety and AVPD. I always had mad imposter syndrome around identifying as one. But now I'm content admitting I'm not, and that's okay. ❤

    Quite a lot of Jung’s ideas are misunderstood and spun into grifts. Myers brigg’s personality doctrine was origin derived from Jung’s work and now it’s become psychology’s version of the horoscope. Person 1: “I’m an INFP what are you?” Person 2: “OMG I’m an LMNOP! We’re so compatible” Same as Person 1: “I’m a libra what are you?” Person 2: “OMG I’m a caprisun! We’re so compatible” Lot of websites make money from these tests by locking the answer behind a pay wall or from ad revenue. While in reality if the tests aren’t skewed anyway they are still inaccurate because of judgement bias, whatever you think you are doesn’t always correlate to how you actually are. As a 2nd example the phenomena of synchronicity is a real thing I’ve witnessed them happen quite frequently however it gets misconstrued with people thinking if a you see a red car three times or a particular sequence of numbers then it equates to a sign from and angel and ooooh this is your angel number, your angel or higher self is trying to tell you that you have haemorrhoids. Latest one is psychopaths using the idea of interpreting the shadow to justify being a psychopath. It’s a shame really because he had some very nuanced ideas that are way ahead of our time and they get parred off because grifters invent fluff using them as the basis.
