Joyce's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarmrOHgveKHsaV6QejAZVw Book a Typing Session with Joyce: https://www.joycemengcoaching.com/ ⌛ T I M E S T A M P S : 5:40 What motivates you to keep producing MBTI content? 11:42 What are the xNFJ values? 14:38 How would you describe yourself? 15:18 Why do INFJs seem to “hold back” their true selves in conversation? 16:24 What can INFJs learn from Fi users? 17:02 This is the best word to describe an INFJ. 19:19 How do you define yourself? Does that shape your identity? We discuss INFJ insight and foresight, which then leads into a conversation about how trauma shapes us. 30:23 How does an INFJ experience their Ni as opposed to an INTJ? 33:44 A distinction between Fi and Fe 34:59 Can you give us an example of using your Introverted Intuition (Ni) on a day-to-day basis? 38:58 Realising that people aren’t as deep as you think they are. 40:06 Were you ever confused as to whether you were an INFP or INFJ? If so, how did you realise you were an INFJ? 43:39 Is it insolence if I tell people what their MBTI type is even if they get bothered by it? 45:40 Do you think we can consciously develop our 5th to 8th functions? 52:46 Do very easy tasks stress you out? 53:17 What’s something you dislike admitting to be wrong about? 53:34 Which types do you tend to best get along with? 55:17 What don’t you understand about ESFPs? 58:40 What are some INFJ stereotypes that you relate to and are there some that you’ve never personally experienced? 1:01:34 Do you like being the unpaid therapist? 1:03:18 How do you deal with being overstimulated by sensory experiences? 1:05:01 Can an INFJ become like an ESTP? 1:07:50 Why do INFJs have a martyr complex? 1:08:28 What types are you the most attracted to romantically and why? 1:12:14 Why do INFJs have poor Se in terms of body/action, but good Se in terms of style? 1:14:48 Ni doms don’t seem to experience anxiety issues. Is there a reason? 1:16:14 What’s the easiest tell between an INFJ and an ISFJ? 1:19:12 Be honest, do you have a superiority complex? 1:20:54 What is something about MBTI that you think a lot of people gloss over? 1:23:39 Could you tell us a little bit about the book you’re writing? 1:25:33 What is one thing you’ve learned about yourself in writing this book? 1:26:34 What is your pitch for Enneagram? Is it worth looking into for people who haven’t? 1:30:15 If you could choose one thing to tell the MBTI community about INFJs, what would it be?

On today's episode, I'm reminiscing un-scripted on 10 of the lessons that I learned in my 20s. 💜 Watch on YouTube (main channel): https://youtu.be/OsS_VbbJ8kc Listen on YouTube (podcast channel): https://youtu.be/IACi3eRTTLI Jordan Peterson reference: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cg2OEoMlZd-/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Instagram: @dear.kristin Music by Restless Mosaic.  

Today I welcome one of my oldest friends onto the podcast to make her uncomfortable with extremely pointed questions! Join us as we discuss all things INFJ: What is the Ni intuition? What is it like being married to an ISTP? Why do INFJs make so many judgements, and where do they come from? What is it like seeing the darkness of the world at all times? What are the dangers of living in your imagination? What is the INFJ doorslam? How do INFJs find a personal identity away from the tribe? Is "The Body Keeps the Score" even that good? We discuss all this and more in this juicy episode! I found it particularly interesting listening to how differently Bek and I perceived these questions and topics, given that we lead with each other's inferior functions. Grab a cuppa and enjoy!
