How to Establish Relational Boundaries for FJ Types
20 January 2020 / By Anne Kinsey
Feeling Judging types know that keeping relationships healthy takes special skill when you’re wholeheartedly focused on the emotions, wellbeing and needs of others. These types navigate the world through extraverted Feeling (Fe), a function that is focused on others and is the desire to connect with others with empathy and consideration. If we’re not careful, our emotions and needs could get lost in the shuffle of caring for everyone else, but they don’t have to.
Why the Holidays Are the Best and Worst of Times for Judgers
02 December 2019 / By Stacey Nguyen
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when feelings of holiday cheer and terrible anxiety flooded the Judger. The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year — for the most part. But as an INFJ—one of the eight Judging types in Myers Briggs typology—my Judging component often gets tested come November and December.
The Healing Power of Nature for the Introverted Mind
02 October 2019 / By Andreia Esteves
Throughout the centuries, humans have found solace in the outdoors. Nature has inspired the works of great artists and writers, such as Keats, Millais, and Turner. These artists saw in nature what we still see today—a safe haven and an opportunity to escape the chaos of the city.
But what is it about nature that makes us feel good—whether we’re Introverts or Extraverts?
Can an SJ Personality be a Jack of All Trades?
02 September 2019 / By Jolie Tunnell
The Sensing-Judging or “SJ” personality type is ideal for certain career tracks and vocations that involve the practical application of knowledge in a structured way. Libraries, laboratories, spreadsheets and engines, call to us like sirens. We are masters at pulling together vast amounts of minutiae and arranging them into cohesive and efficient wholes. When we focus in on a profession, we tend to become “Masters of One”.
3 Things Every Judger Secretly Has to Deal With
19 August 2019 / By Jayne Thompson
With Perceivers described as indecisive, freewheeling, impulsive types and Judgers described as focused, organized and dependable, you'd think that Judgers had it made. After all, the Judging side of the fence is where the lawyers, executives and Marie Kondo hang out, all pushing the "Inbox Zero" movement and telling us that radical organization is life-changing in its ability to increase productivity and lower stress.
The dirty little secret? It's actually a bit rubbish being a Judger. Here's why.
The Power of Self-Care for Introverts
17 June 2019 / By Laura A
What superpower would you choose to help manage your health? I imagine some people might choose the power to instantly gain or lose weight or to turn their favorite junk food into healthy food. Or maybe you would like to stop time to get some extra sleep. For most Introverts, having time to themselves to process their thoughts and enjoy their inner world is not only a powerful way to re-energize, but it is essential in managing their overall health.
But what happens when you don’t get the time you need to feel your best?
Why “Fake It Til You Make It” is Terrible Advice for Introverts
20 May 2019 / By Jayne Thompson
Fake it 'til you make it. Act as if you are exuberant and outgoing. Get out there and network. Open a sales conversation, give public speeches, make a big new circle of friends. Greet everyone with engaging small talk and give a firm handshake. Paste on a grin and don’t ever let on that inside, you’ve got panic-levels of anxiety and your heart has just dropped to the floor.
Why?
Confidence for Introverts (Not Another Patronizing and Simplistic Guide)
25 February 2019 / By Jayne Thompson
Confidence is normally described as a belief in yourself and your abilities. I don't like this definition because it feels too static. In my mind, self-confidence is not a single belief or idea but a process; it's how you function despite all the challenges you face and the critics who will make you question yourself.

Wait, Am I the Problem? Six Signs of an Unhealthy Introvert and What You Can Do About It
28 January 2019 / By Naomi Harrington
Are you an Introvert? Do you ever have those moments where you start to feel overwhelmed by everything and everyone? For me personally, when someone comes in demanding my attention and energy -- especially while I’m barely surviving by a thread -- it can make me pretty upset. After having to repeatedly stand up for yourself and reinforce your boundaries, it’s not surprising that anger and resentment might build up over time.
