Personality Types

INTJ as teachers  INTJs are usually attracted by and do well in teaching fields that allow for both intellectual contemplation and the use of scientific methods. They are naturally gifted for teaching the exact sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Genetics, Chemistry, etc.), social sciences (Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, Logic, etc.) and technology (Engineering, IT, Robotics, Medicine etc.). INTJs as teachers are intellectual, insightful, innovative, theoretical, perceptive and very knowledgeable. They will often inspire their students to observe and understand things in a more subtle and profound way, as they reveal the hidden meanings and multiple interpretations of the subjects being lectured. The sophisticated intuition and creativity of the INTJ, combined with their taste for order, method and mental clarity, can be very powerful assets for a teacher. Their students will be offered thorough, scientifically validated facts and theories, as well as a flexible, origina...

ENTJ as teachers ENTJs are usually attracted by and do well in teaching fields that allow for both abstract theorizing and practical applications of the theory. They are naturally gifted for teaching applied sciences and technology (Engineering, IT, Electronics, Robotics, Medicine etc.), business science (Management, Business Strategies, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, etc.) and legal studies (Commercial Law, International Law, Criminal Law, etc.). ENTJs as teachers are usually well-organized (they manage their time, classes and topics well), quite demanding, they know how to motivate and create a productive, competitive atmosphere between their students and manage to command their respect and attention rather effortlessly. They are future-oriented and open to new ideas and possibilities and they greatly value knowledge, courage, independence and efficiency in their pupils. ENTJs are also impartial, objective teachers who express themselves eloquently and transparently and treat peopl...

I've recently come across a really interesting article that promotes a different hypothesis of how Enneagram types form during childhood and I thought I should present it briefly on the blog. It's commonly accepted that the Enneagram type has both a genetic component and an environmental component and it's their interaction that decides the final typology. This theory states that there are three major innate orientations of the personality and that we are all born with one of them prevalent over the other two. Furthermore, it suggests that each of the nine Enneagram types is a consequence of the way in which the child's preferred inborn orientation (the hereditary component) interacts with the one that their parent - or main caretaker - has towards them in the forming years (the environmental component). Three Basic Orientations The three orientations are an expression of the Law of Three, on which the entire Enneagram concept is based. This law stat...

We all know what Enneagram types do when they're stressed out, as it's been long discussed in a wide number of publications. And it's been long complained the fact that the Myers Briggs theory isn't a dynamic system because it doesn't explain how its 16 types act when in distress. I beg to differ. The cognitive functions that underlie each type offer pertinent predictions of how the types will act when unhealthy. These are a series of likely scenarios of how Myers Briggs types tend to disintegrate when under substantial and long-enduring stress. They are based on each type's functional stacking and reveal the typical ways in which the third and fourth functions can rise into consciousness and spoil the psychological balance of each type. These scenarios are inspired by Lenore Thomson's work. ESTJ s are likely to start viewing others as being overly subjective and weak, therefore consider that it's time to take control and set things ri...
