personal growth

My name is Abby and I am an INFP. I have a blog about the personality types called "notreallymytype.blogspot.com". I first discovered the MBTI Types when I was a teen. The reason I was so drawn to the types is because I felt they put words to a truth I already felt. The two major benefits I felt...

I am a proud ESFP new to PerC!! I have used MBTI in all areas of my life for 10 years and I just keep wanting to know more and help people learn how useful it can be as a growth tool. I found personality typology when I was 23...It started over a back rub! Seriously I asked for a on the...

Hello everyone! Been lurking for quite some time now and just decided to start participating. I found out I'm an INTJ a little less than a year ago by reading online about introversion, feeling out of place and self discovery. I've learn a lot about myself now and I'm interested on still...

Hello INFP fellas: NOTE: This is an idea that I haven't test but I want to test soon, it would be awesome if you can also test it and tell us how it worked on you. I came with an idea of hacking our personality, using our strenghs to build a bridge to leverage our weaknesses. I'm not sure if...

Was wondering if any other INFJ's had the same difficulty I have currently at work. It does entail a specific set of circumstances though and wasn't sure if this was more of a personal problem or maybe something others also relate to? I know this is long, but will try to condense it, haha! I'm...

Hey, all! I'm new to this forum, and I've enjoyed reading everyone's insightful posts and comments so far. Nice to meet you! I have been (for lack of a better term) "obsessed" with the MBTI framework for a few years but was stuck overanalyzing the four-letter combinations and dichotomies. I...

There seems to be only 1 link to "personal growth" for Type 4's in the indexed area of the Type 4 forums. I was wondering if others had their own general advice/input for personal growth for Type 4's, as well as any links to information, or suggestions of resources on the topic? Thanks in...

Hi ENFPs/ENFP-stalkers! I've got a question (last paragraph) but first I wanted to explain why I'm asking: I'm a recent graduate from a four year university course, and I feel like in those four years I have grown into my personality in a way that would never have happened at home - contact...

I have been immersing myself in exploration of the MBTI for somewhere close to two years now. During this time I experienced a lot of confusion about my type, and drove myself insane trying to figure everything out and type myself. I could sense that there was at least some valid credibility to...

Hello, Personality Cafe! For my first blog post, I thought I'd share with you a poem that I wrote. My decision to play the Alto Saxophone in 5th grade changed my life in ways that I never would have expected back them, and words cannot describe how grateful I am for all that music has done for...

I wrote this a few years back when I was going through a custody "battle" with my ex and his new wife. They challenged the original agreed upon joint custody by petitioning the court to grant them primary custody of my four children. During that time in my life I struggled with their inability...

I've been currently reading about "Involution" which seems to be the growth of your inner self. It is mentioned that there are seven basic steps from self awareness to self mastery one of which is Self Love. I've noticed that I've only gotten over that hurdle once and it wasn't a conscious...

I apologize in advanced for all of this writing, maybe someone will care. Hello ENFPs (...and INTJs because they are bound to hop on board at some point), I have been familiar with the MBTI for nearly two years now and I have found it to be very resourceful in terms of self-improvement as well...

This is a rant FYI i just got into this personality type ish yesterday and have spent countless hours since researching so now I'm here. I know I'm smart, but many people are. And many are able to harness it, and see their ideas to fruition. It makes me sad to read through these forums and...
