As an ISNFTJP, ennea469w123, Virgo with a Pluto moon and unicorn sun, huffleclaw house, I am capable of breathing air, walking for a block without tripping, and I can even do some math if I’m not too busy being an empath/indigo child. I am the rarest, most misunderstood type. 😭

Introversion does not equal hating people, hating conversation, or being deeper than anyone else. I’m an introvert and I love getting to know new people. It’s about stimulation and how much you can handle. It’s about where your energy flows. It’s not 90% of what people say it is.

Don't let personality type force you into false dichotomies. You can be a kick-ass, tough INFP. You can be a compassionate, gentle ESTJ. Anyone can be kind. Anyone can be mean. Anyone can be selfish. Anyone can be selfless. How it appears is what will vary.

Judgers aren't always neat & tidy. I know far more neat & tidy Sensing-Perceivers than NJs. Judging is about how you approach the world around you. Do you like closure & a clear plan? If you prefer things more structured, decided, that is a clearer indication of "J" than neatness

ENTJs and ESTJs have more emotional awareness than we give them credit for, especially as they age and Fi becomes more advanced. They may not always want to sit and listen to someone’s emotions, but they care and they tend to show it through action rather than effusive words.

I know that 6s get a lot of flack for over-worrying and being too anxious about everything. But when crisis DOES actually strike, we're usually pretty calm and quick to find solutions because we've envisioned every possible disaster happening so many times.

There’s a huge difference between Ni tertiary and Ni inferior in my experience. Someday I want to make a video with a Ni-dom, Ni-aux, tertiary and inferior with very specific questions. It’s gonna happen!

Okay NP personality types, how aware are you of your body's physical needs? Do you notice quickly when you're hungry, thirsty or tired or do you feel like it builds up until all the sudden you realize you're exhausted and famished? Is physical self-care important to you?

Over the last year I’ve seen the word “codependent” applied to people who are simply clingy and overly-attached to others. That’s actually not really what it means. Words like this and “narcissist” are used too freely for people who aren’t, in fact, co-dependent or narcissistic.
