Comparative relations between psychological?("personality")type

These are relations of deceptive similarity. Comparative partners talk about similar things,have similar interests,obey the norms of politeness and hospitality towards each other but they never really show an interest in each others problems. After a while these relations can become boring and stagnant. When comparative partners are on the same level in a hierarchy,they can coexist quite peacefully. Once one partner becomes superior to the other,they may have serious disagreements and conflicts. Comparative partners look at the same questions from very different angles. One partner feels as if the other is in their opinion trying to solve the same problem in an impractical manner. Moreover,partners are not happy to acknowledge each other's different point of view. This may cause great misunderstandings between partners,especially when applied to methods of working and as a result partners usually try to compromise.

When in company,Comparative relations can improve a little. The reason for this is that the behaviour of one partner in respect to other people usually appears to the other partner as interesting and worthwhile. Moreover,partners have a good chance to learn from each other how to better improve their social interactions.

When Comparative partners ask each other for advice,the adviser often finds their own advice quite useful for themselves. As a result the person who asked for advice usually leaves with nothing. Comparative partners may view each other as selfish and egoistic,however they do not try to clarify this point to each other. In a family environment these relations are very heavy,as they can create a mistrust between partners and do not allow them to feel their own significance.

Critical loyalty?can be thought of as seeking a creative middle way that tries to honor the legitimate demands of the organization but also to honor the obligation to protect the public.??Uncritical loyalty will support these ends only insofar as those above them do and insist that those who work for the organization do so as well.?

Through Fi inferior,ENTJs?are extremely generous when it comes to people. It is not always necessarily in the form of money,but the ENTJ will be that person at the gym who will give advice to the new guy who has no idea what to do. That’s right,they will sacrifice their time to help the people around them,even those who they don’t know personally. If you decide to call them selfish or greedy,all you’re doing is hitting the inferior function?(or insecurity)of an ENTJ. This runs the risk of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy as was discussed in 4.

An ENTJ is insecure about whether they are a good person or not,whether their sense of morals is good or bad. Therefore,they are always seeking to improve them for the sake of the people who are loyal to them,and that they may be a better leader. The constant accusation of them being a bad person can lead to them giving up developing their sense of morals,and eventually becoming that bad person you made them out to be.

ESFPs?have the capacity to be quite intelligent in spite of their own doubts.??If given the chance to study independently and at a pace that suits them,they can become quite brilliant through reading,research and experience.??Their intellect can be further stimulated when surrounded with people who are themselves of high intellect.? ?

Ultimately,their intelligence is based not on their own ability in logical thought,but in their belief in the education they receive from others,such as books,research,group discussions,etc.??In this way,they focus on what others think about a situation or problem and internalize.??Perception becomes realty,and decisions flow from their moral assessment of the true-false judgements of others.

Ultimately,ISTPs?are inventors and mentors who seek to enjoy life and make people better human beings.??All they ask in return is freedom,affirmation,and loyalty.??Anyone who can meet these needs,and do so consistently,will enjoy a committed and fulfilling relationship with them.

ISTPs are masters of the physical environment – truly a?“Jack”or?“Jill”of all trades – it comes naturally to them.??They build from the ground up,creating as they go,with an instinctive knowledge of how to use tools and equipment necessary for the job.??They also understand that others don’t have this same ability,which presents them with the welcome opportunity to mentor and teach,and to share their skills and abilities with those who wish to learn.??Asking for their advice affirms them.??Employing their advice demonstrates your commitment to them.

Those who value that instruction are respected,while those who don’t are dismissed as?“stupid”and unworthy of further help.

ISTPs are intelligent people.??They are adept at logic,pattern recognition,and fixate on what is true and real.??While they have a sincere interest in developing people ISTPs can have difficulty engaging socially.??This results in part from their genuine belief in,and expression of,their own intellectual superiority.??Their approach to helping others is to instruct them in the harsh truths of reality,as they see them,exposing hypocrisies and weakness in thought.??Those who value that instruction are respected,while those who don’t are dismissed as?“stupid”and unworthy of further help.

ISTPs are susceptible to boredom and depression more than most.??Just as their happiness erupts from action and self-determination,so also their melancholy is born of impotence and dependence.??When people or situations work to control,limit,or?“protect”them,even with the best of intentions,the ISTP will flounder and struggle.??Even noble pursuits such as marriage,family,or career can become too constraining and threatening. The remedy is not medication or therapy,but freedom to act.

estp?Autonomy and spontaneity are essential to your well-being.??However,your Introverted Intuition?(Ni)inferior can cause you to be insecure about your future and unsure of what you really want.??This can manifest as procrastination,analysis paralysis,and indecision all at the risk of slowing your personal growth.??Compounding this is your Introverted Sensing?(Si)nemesis which adds worry about your past and decisions made.??Fortunately,this also motivates you to give others the best experience possible.

You are all about respect.??You responsibly give it and you expect it in return.??However,having Introverted Feeling?(Fi)trickster results in your personal sense of right and wrong being limited at best.??Without this foundation,you find difficulty in valuing yourself.??You rely on others to inform and affirm your value in order to compensate.??Given this,you are very intentional with the image you project and the experiences you give.??Other’s reactions and non-verbal cues convey their level of respect and allow you to determine your self-worth.

Other’s reactions and non-verbal cues convey their level of respect and allow you to determine your self-worth. woo

estp You can typically go along with a process or system until you understand its dynamics,but then the questioning and testing begin.??Ultimately,you will destroy the inferior system in favor of creating a better one.??It’s your responsibility,after all,and there is satisfaction in it.??You know it’s better,and isn’t building something that works the point???In this you take charge,but once the system is fixed you prefer to pass managing on to someone else.

estp People may underestimate your intelligence at first,and likely consider you a partier,a troublemaker,or even a bully due to their premature judgements.??Within your mind,however,you work with information freely: assessing,analyzing,refining,and organizing.??You transform information into energy,direct this energy outward in the form of concrete action,and improve people and the world around them.??Improvement to you is about fairness and what works for everyone.??You seek to destroy weakness while simultaneously building up strength,a gift from you is,therefore,recognized.

And while people are engaging with you,you are observing your environment—who is there,who is coming and going,who is talking to whom,etc.—effectively assessing threats and finding opportunities.??You have a natural ability at reading behaviors and coordinating your own actions to effectively engage with people.

You are not necessarily interested in what others want,but you are focused on what you know to be in their best interest?(and your own).??You just need to persuade them to your way of thinking because their experience will then be significantly better.the process to find the one person who will be forever loyal,freeing you from fear of abandonment,and thus worthy of your love and full commitment.???inj's blind loyalty looks like works for them,but sexual energy,se-se is not compatible.You have little tolerance for those who?“screw things up”and who lack the desire to change. But for those who sincerely want to be better,you are quick to their side and loyal to the end.

ENTPs?suffer.??They are uneasy in their own skin and anxious about their own health and well-being.??At times,this insecurity may appear as hypochondria,yet ENTPs do experience any number of ailments and physical discomforts,some of which can be severe.??In response,they seek to be comforted and reassured by others including doctors,therapists,and friends.??They are just as likely to have an above-average understanding of diseases and symptoms as they are to have a cabinet full of prescription drugs,vitamins,and medicinal herbs.??Ultimately,life experience shows them that suffering,like failure,is inevitable and common to all.??This understanding allows them to face their fears and brings them to the realization that success and their own unique path to enlightenment requires endurance to face pain and failure.

ENTPs are amoral.??They are not immoral—as some would accuse.??Rather,they are devoid of awareness of right and wrong.??Regardless,society sees this trait as undesirable and another reason to mistrust or avoid them altogether.??In fact,amorality serves their pragmatism and frees them to consider all possibilities and solutions fully on merit and without regard to moral judgement.??Still,it remains a vulnerability preventing them from making value judgements when necessary.??This requires them to seek the company of high-minded individuals to inform their morality and define their ethics.??In isolation,they can behave unethically.??With others,they become exemplars of decency and conscience.???True

The process is at first gradual,but as acceptance grows,ENTPs share increasingly more.??In time,feelings of safety—enough to remove the mask and show their vulnerability—take hold.??Allies and friends,those that can be trusted and taught,reap the rewards of ENTP sincerity.??Contrarily,betrayal of trust and violation of privacy garners vengeance and hatred.??No longer an ally,ENTPs can become an enemy.

Carl Jung once said:?“Error is just as important a condition of progress as truth.”??ENTPs need only accept this principle for themselves and others for them to chart their own path to enlightenment and change human destiny.

ISFPs?value their reputation.??Personal brand is everything because everything they create is a representation of themselves,what they believe,and how they experience the world.??Although confident in their own worth as individuals,others’opinions can be a point of sensitivity.??In the absence of trust,they are unlikely to share themselves directly or through their art.??Yet internal certainty compels them forward.

The need for harmony can be so strong that ISFPs may sacrifice themselves for the sake of maintaining relationships.??In order to find contentment,however,they must move on to those who respect them,appreciate them,and allow them freedom.

Their judgments are based on the distinction between desirable and insufficient,rather than between truth and falsehood.??It’s about how they feel about the truth,rather than the truth itself,as truth can be subjective.??While they may have concerns about the morality and goodness of others,it only serves as motivation to be the best they can be.

ESFJs?are the epitome of self-sacrifice. They have a genuine mindfulness of the emotional wellbeing of others,making them some of the most empathic individuals in society.??They lead their lives based on a foundation of ethics,justice,and empathetic understanding—placing the needs of others above their own. The motivations for their altruism come from a strong sense of personal duty as well as a desire that others see them as good and worthy.

The motivations for their altruism come from a strong sense of personal duty as well as a desire that others see them as good and worthy.They are naturally suspicious of anything that questions their worldview or puts their personal wellbeing at risk.??In fact,in the face of an outright challenge to their beliefs,safety,or comfort,they likely will want to withdraw their care and concern.??Change does not always come easily for them,but once they are convinced,they are committed.

Change does not always come easily for them,but once they are convinced,they are committed.

ESFJs aspire to be intellectual.??They contemplate the information that comes to them to ensure their reasoning is sound and their conclusions accurate.??At times,they may even fear they lack the ability to distinguish the truth from the myriad sources of information and opinion existing in the world around them.??These fears diminish when others take the time to listen to them and provide them with the chance to make mistakes in a non-judgmental environment.??They seek to allay uncertainty by insisting on 100% accuracy and accomplish this through continual testing and verification of source data,thought processes,and resulting conclusions.??In this,ESFJs develop knowledge and experience which drives exceptional intelligence and unmatched skills in debate.

These fears diminish when others take the time to listen to them and provide them with the chance to make mistakes in a non-judgmental environment.

ESFJs can be apprehensive about their own self-worth. Worried about their own moral integrity,they can be skeptical of themselves as being truly good. This concern can give rise to covert contracts even with people they love.??They sacrifice and suffer for others,in part,with the hope that such self-denial will cause,even require,others to view them as good,valuable,and wanted.??Unfortunately,others may not be aware of this dynamic and unknowingly violate the terms of the unspoken deal.??In this,they engage the ESFJ’s ire and stand in bewilderment as the ESFJ takes away their care and concern.??Believing that if they do enough good,if they can just prove themselves worthy,life will bestow its rewards to the ESFJ,putting salvation within grasp.??Fortunately,ESFJs ultimately find confidence in their self-worth by learning sympathy,working for others’benefit,and volunteering for personally meaningful causes.??The purity of their motivation in these activities becomes key to alleviating their worry,removing their insecurity,and tearing up their contracts.

A challenge to their intelligence,ridicule of their conclusions,or an unwillingness to simply listen to them is equivalent to a direct attack on their sense of self-worth.??In self-defense,ESFJs may seek to demean the intellect or logic of their critics or,in immaturity,even act to destroy their social status and reputation.??They can find satisfaction in proving someone else wrong.??ESFJs only seek a listening ear and a validating voice to keep the defensiveness at bay.??Their growth is assured with a respectful ear,and their anger assuaged with a day in court.

Behaviorism?is a barbaric way of approaching psychology because it doesn’t account for your thoughts,your feelings,or your true motivations. Behaviorism hasn’t been widely accepted for several decades for that reason. A person’s cognition is every bit as important,if not more important,than a person’s behavior.

Any type can be intelligent and knowledgeable—just because you have a mentally stimulating conversation with someone doesn’t mean they are an intuitive type. In fact,some of the smartest people I know are sensing types. So please stop trying to use behaviors that can’t be tied to the twelve type grid categories to type yourself or type other people.

The pragmatic types are the Intellectuals?(NTs)and the Artisans?(SPs). Being pragmatic means that a person’s preferred basis for interaction is focused on what works. The affiliative types are the Idealist?(NFs)and the Guardians?(SJs). Being affiliative means that a person’s basis for interaction is focused on what’s right. Pragmatic types value independence inside a group setting so that they are allowed the freedom of making their own decisions,while affiliative types value interdependence inside the group to achieve a desired result.

This can be a problem—especially in the workplace. For instance,if a boss is an affiliative user and has a pragmatic employee working under them who never asks for permission before making decisions,the employee runs the risk of potentially being fired because of a perceived overreach. To the pragmatic,having authority over them gets in the way of achieving the fastest or most optimal outcome. Waiting to ask permission would hinder their progression.?

Friedrich Nietzsche once said?“sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”
