I am not a psychologist in any shape or form, but I do have an interest in understanding myself and others, and have found insight in Jung-Myers-Briggs personality type theory and the ancient notion of the four temperaments. Here you will find my amateur explorations of the topic, whether purely original, adaptations or otherwise. 

The Four Temperaments

  • "Temperaments and Helping Others." Long before personality type theory existed, ancient Greek and Roman physicians proposed the idea of the four temperaments as a biological understanding of how people tend to react to the world around them. For a relatively brief introduction to theory of the four temperaments and how they can guide us in helping others, CLICK HERE.

The 24 Subtypes of MBTI Personalities

  • "The 24 INTP Subtypes." For a speculative breakdown of the Introversion iNtuition Thinking Perceiving personality type into four groups of six subtypes, CLICK HERE.

Above is a video by DaveSuperPowers (not I) that explains Myers-Briggs personality theory by comparing ENFP and INFP types. The videos by him below compare the INTP and ISTP types, and the ISFJ and ISFP types.
