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”.

INTJ vs. INTP: How To Tell Them Apart

04 March 2019 / By Lily Yuan

Both commonly dubbed as ‘emotionless robots’ or ‘logical masterminds’ with no clue on how to navigate the social sphere or figure out romantic encounters, the INTJ and INTP are among one of the most difficult pairs (and brains) to pick apart.

15 October 2018 / By Jayne Thompson

If you have the opportunity to be friends with a Rational personality type, you are so lucky!

If you are loyal to a Rational, they will be your best friend for life.

Maybe you don't already have a Rational friend. If not, you're missing out. Here's why:

02 July 2018 / By Jayne Thompson

I'm British and we're famous for how frequently we say sorry.

If we sneeze, we say sorry. If we stop someone to ask for directions, we say sorry. If you're rushing around like a reckless fool and you crash into us (your fault, not ours), we'll be the one to say sorry. It's like a verbal tic on a national scale.

Does Your Personality Type Decide Your Political Opinions?

Seriously, Why Does Everyone Think They're INTJ?

26 February 2018 / By Jayne Thompson

Something I've noticed: there are more articles for INTJs out there than for any other type. And apparently, they’re all written by INTJ authors.

Our fascination with personality typing isn't just an American phenomenon, it's a universal one.
