You’d benefit, I think, from the analysis C.S. Joseph has done of the MTBI types and how they interact with each other. In my early 20’s, while still living at home, I typed as INFJ … yet in my mid 30’s, I was testing out as INTP … when watching C.S.Joseph once, he said that INTPs will, under high stress environments as children children in the home of their parents, test as INFJs.
At least in my case, he was exactly correct, and solved a mystery for me.
He has a really entertaining style, especially when discussing Type vs type in various settings, school work, parent/child, spouses, etc.
Thank you. In my extended writing I talk about how our measured types can change over time and under different circumstances. What I like best about knowing that is just what you said here. We don’t need to throw away the MBTI or call it inaccurate. It’s not etched in stone because what we have going on in our lives impacts how we answer the questions. Short form writing, like a blog we don’t want to be too long, leaves some of this out. The middle two letters, I’ve found, are the least likely to change. And then there are the children and the Murphy-Meisgeier! I suspect the early years and the personality results are about our true selves before we have too much life to deal with and figure out.
Thank you so much for this, in particular the following: "I ask parents if they’ve ever used this statement with their child: “In the amount of time you’ve argued with me about this, you could have finished it.” Such a child is almost always a Feeler-Perceiver. A Thinker-Judger is more likely to do a less-than-perfect job but at least get it done. FPs, though, need their parents and teachers to understand them, so they need to have the argument. "
This insight is incredibly helpful to me - thank you.
Deborah, This is great and so helpful - clarity for helping families and teachers understand differences. It sounds like the S-N dimension is the most difficult to navigate, as these difference perspectives may be hard to overcome. Thanks for sharing this portion of your work.
Yes, you are correct that that S-N issue is difficult, but I have seen families who understand this can make changes in their communication and expectations. In my own work, however, it is a major hurdle for most parents whose viewpoints remain hard to budge. But that, too, can often happen with parents who aren't S-Sensors. It is often culture-based, too.
