Dear Kristin 2: MBTI in childhood, with faith, developing your functions and how to type yourself accurately

Welcome to "Dear Kristin" episode #2, in which we're diving into more of YOUR questions. Today, I answer questions from Lisandro, Pupairin, Sea and Rachel H. Topics include: changing one's personality type, communication tactics between Feelers and Thinkers, MBTI in childhood, MBTI and faith, how to use MBTI to better yourself, developing your functions and how to type yourself accurately. It's just me and my mic, so grab a coffee and let's chat! (And by "chat" I mean, "listen to me monologue while you get to say nothing!") Thanks for tuning in!

A deep dive into the ENTJ personality (feat. my ENTJ housemate Marie)

Today, I welcome my ENTJ housemate Marie to answer 36 of your instagram questions. Your only instruction in submitting your questions was to "make her uncomfortable", which... well, you'll have to have a listen to see if we did!
Some of you might remember Marie from an earlier episode, "Unpacking the ExTJ personalities with my housemates". As expected, without Sara, we were able to dive much deeper. Join us as we discuss strategies for empathy, femininity as an ENTJ, what it looks like to have blindspot Si, an ethical debate about the trolley problem, and some pretty wholesome affirmations between us as friends!

Talking MBTI with a Psychology Professor (feat. Dr. Ben Cotterill)

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Ben Cotterill, a psychology professor at Clemson University in South Carolina, to discuss his research using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other personality tools. Doctor Cotterill and I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of MBTI, its critics in the psychological field, the Big Five model and how one's psychological birth order might affect their personality type. It was a fascinating conversation, so grab a cuppa and get comfortable!

Dear Kristin: How can I type people in the wild?

Today I answer a question submitted by Kennedy, who asks how he, as an INTP, can learn to type people in the wild. I go into some of the tells that I've picked up as an Se dom that reflect what cognitive functions somebody might be using.

The Wonder of Creativity feat. Heart of Michi

Today, I welcome Michelle to talk with me about the wonderful topic of creativity as two creatives in the YouTube space. Where does creativity start? How do we manage the whims of creativity as two ExFPs in a society that demands content? How do we handle deadlines? Is there a difference between “creative” and “artistic”? What makes our art unique? Are certain personality types more creative than others? How can you be more creative? We discuss these and literally 10000 other questions in today's episode.

Unpacking the INTJ Personality (feat. INTJ Joe aka ”Ghost of Jung”)

Today, I welcome fellow type-enthusiast and esteemed author, Joe Arrigo (aka "Ghost of Jung" on YouTube), to discuss the burden that is being an INTJ. Why do INTJs focus so much on the future, rather than the present moment? Do INTJs find it hard to touch base with their feelings? What do INTJs value in relationships? Dating advice, conflict management, and, of course, the million dollar question, “are you evil”? Joe also shares with us a bit about his writing process in crafting his type manifesto, “Marble and Sculptor”.
