S5E5 - What motivates an INTJ? What does it really mean to be an INxJ personality type? What does it look like to deprioritize sensory information as much as these personality types do? In this episode, we explore these questions and more with Johnson, an INTJ (we also met INFJ Joyce in the last episode) in this series of interviews exploring the intersection of the 16 Types personality system and motivation.

S3E9: We're continuing a series of interviews to see the strengths and struggles of various types with the Authentic Life Framework and to learn more about how their personality type is showing up in their life.

Today we have Erica, an ISFP who isn't a personality type expert but who worked with me to find her best-fit type in the 16 Type system. In this episode, you'll hear the strengths and struggles Erica experiences as the owner of a dog training and behavior consulting business. As I ask her questions, you'll hear me point out the ways in which her cognitive functions are showing up in our conversation. It's like getting a front-row seat to a conversational typing session!

You'll see many ways in which her cognitive functions impact her life and business as well as her relationship to each element of the Authentic Life Framework (Consciousness, Clarity, Confidence, Community, and Consistency).

4. Susan Storm from PsychologyJunkie.com joins me in this conversation about how we both mistyped as INFJ and ultimately landed on ENTJ as our best-fit type in the 16 Types (Myers-Briggs®) system. In this episode, we talk about the impact of trauma, being a woman, and being socialized to repress natural parts of ourselves contributed to our misidentification as INFJ. We get into some of the common stereotypes and misunderstandings of INFJs and ENTJs, as well as what it felt like to have a "public" identity as INFJs and to later find out we had mistyped ourselves.
