I have mistyped myself. I am a cognitive INFP.

This means
1. I’m not an ENFP duh, but the mistype makes sense as they both employ the same cognitive functions
2. I have learnt that just like any other long time typology enthusiast/student, it is essential to understand the difference between cognitive vs behaviour type(behaviour – as 16personalities measure your traits????)
3. If you aren’t aware of how you think, and what the cognitive functions are, then there is a high likelihood that you are mistyped

Why is it important to get typed properly?

Well, if you are serious about using personality psychology as a tool for your own personal development, the efficacy of it depends on the accuracy of your typing…

It was difficult to wrap my head around accepting not being ENFP as it was definitely a big part of my identity. It wasn’t the healthiest way of viewing it of course, but this is a topic for another post – looking to Type when we are vulnerable.

My opinion is,

– It’s not sufficient to trust a self-reporting test
– Your cognitive type doesn’t care whether you think it makes you cool or not, or if your type memes are accurate (???? even though it’s hilarious)
– To get to as close as possible to your best fit type is a powerful tool to be the best version you can be.

I am of the belief that knowing yourself is power.

It took talking to profilers, identity crises episodeSSS????

(#INFPs do ya know what I mean?)

Hours of research on cognitive functions, reflecting on my behaviour AND ways of thinking throughout my life to start to understand my functions.

What are my main takeaways so far?
– S e l f – a c c e p t a n c e / C O N F I D E N C E
– Acceptance of others
– A lens to use to find out ways of functioning better in general in life
– MISTYPES ARE SO COMMON! Some are mistyped for years-decades.

And I still consider myself such a beginner in all of this.

I can say so much but it still needs organising so it’s as useful as possible for you all.

So, if you are curious about yours, DM me and maybe I can point you to resources. No typing services just yet..

Your type journey is yours to take. It can be FUN.

Have a great weekend❤️
