How Knowledge of Myers-Briggs Will Change Your Life Entirely

In this episode, I simply give more of a background as to how I got into myers-briggs and Jungian analytical psychology. I finally reveal my type which is infj and get into the story of how I became so fascinated with this these systems of typology and understanding others. I describe how much MBTI changed my life and even during times when I am not learning or thinking about it usually end up being the times when I find out the most interesting parts. Having this as a language to describe the many facets of perception and decision that goes on in our heads almost as if we have a crew a very different personalities arguing and competing inside of our heads at all times whether we know it or not. anyway this episode of the serves as a warning that once you start with this stuff you tend to be affected for the rest of your life. So be where life will never be the same.

Your Mental Wiring - Cognitive Functions

In this episode we speak about the most important and insightful aspects of the whole myers-briggs system or union analytical psychology and that is the eight cognitive functions. These are the ways that we learn new information through the perceiving functions of either sensing or intuition and how we make decisions through the functions of thinking and feeling. depending on the attitudes of these functions which is either introverted or extroverted as well as where they are positioned within your cognitive function stack which will be different for each type. you can expect a brief description of each of the eight functions before I move on and other episodes to describing each function on its own in more depth. This episode is meant to help you connect your personality type to these functions in order to understand the mental wiring of your brain.

Roles & Positions of Cognitive Functions

This episode describes your 8 cognitive functions, as well as what introversion and extraversion are - attitudes. These concepts form the basis for understanding and using Personality Type. The brain takes in information for us (perceiving) and then it helps us make decisions (judging). These are the 2 most basic, fundamental functions of the the brain, besides keeping us alive by telling us to eat and breathe. There are 4 totally different ways of perceiving and 4 totally different ways of judging. Together these are called the 8 cognitive functions. The differences in how we all perceive and judge accounts for the basic differences in personality. To a large extent, differences in perceiving and judging is why we are all so different. Personality type theory actually comes from an understanding of these 8 functions. Your 4 letter personality type is actually a code which will tell you which functions you are strongest in and which functions are probably weak and which will cause you all sorts of problems. Unfortunately, you can not be good at using all 8 of these functions. You will probably be very good with 2 of these cognitive functions and they will account for your strengths. 2 functions will be weak and will indicate what your blind spots might be. And, just to make things interesting, 4 of the 8 functions will be in the unconscious and out of your control. These "shadow functions" will usually pop up to cause you trouble when you are stressed.

Reasons for finding out your type

There are so many reasons as to why you would want to know what your personality type is. Unlike other systems of psychology such as the big five test which basically just school you on specific scales are that they believe are preferable within society, this specific system is based on MBTI (myers-briggs), socionics and Jungian analytical psychology. even though it is not widely recognised by the psychological communities, it is over 100 years old in terms of its research and its applications are immense. whether you are using it for personal development getting along better with your teammates at work, romantic relationships and compatibility, career guidance and improving your personal relationships, learning how to be a better parent, or simply out of the curiosity of understanding why it is that you are the way that you are and other people just seem to not be the same. this can be a great tool for self understanding and for understanding others and utilising your own and others strengths and weaknesses in the best possible way. hope you enjoy this short episode on the reasons why you should find out what your personality type is.
