    Myers Briggs Personality Types – Fairly accessible to everyone and is widely used in universities and companies.
    Its wide accessibility is its weakness
    History of Myers Briggs Personality Types
    Started with the work of Carl Jung who was a contemporary of Sigmund Freud. He studied archetypes, patterns of how people behaved and what made them different from each other.
    Carl Jung discovered that our minds have mental process that are a primary way of interacting with the world. The archetypes were representations of different mental processes. The behaviour might manifest itself in many ways but it’s that mental process and the way you see reality that matters.
    8 Cognitive functions – described the primary ways people learn and understand information and the primary ways people make decisions or evaluate that information.
    Isabel and Kathryn Briggs were students of Jung and they were working on a system. These are the mental processes of your mind. How the mind sees and engages with reality. They recognized that there’s one component missing – Judging and Perceiving.
    The point of knowing your 4 letter code is meant to tell yon which cognitive functions are your favourite and indicates preferences.
    First Letter – I or E (Introversion and Extroversion). Some say that there are more introverts than extraverts
    Extraverts – the outer world is the real world
    Introverts – the inner wold is the real world.” Introverts need alone time.
    We tend to believe that extraverts are always outgoing and introverts are always shy and quiet. However, there are introverts who are very friendly and there are extraverts that are reserved and discreet.
    Second Letter – S or N (Sensing and Intuition). This is how we understand reality.
    Sensors rely on verifiable information.
    Intuitive are comfortable making leaps of habit by ‘thinking what’s behind the curtain’. They are far more interested in speculation.
    Majority of the world are sensory.
    Third Letter – T or F (Thinking and Feeling).
    Thinking – how you’re making decisions based on a thinking criteria – pieces of information that be processed and accounted for.
    Feeling – how their decision will impact other people specifically.
    All thinkers feel and all feelers think
    Fourth Letter – J or P (Judging or Perception). Most people say judging are people who are well- organized.
    Judger – they want outer world organization in order to have inner world freedom.
    Perceivers – inner world organization in order to have outer world freedom. Perceivers like to be spontaneous.


Myers Briggs Personality Types | PODCAST 0020

In this podcast Joel and Antonia talk about Enneagram Personality Types.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    This podcast episode talks about the Enneagram personality typology with Ms. Kelly Crowther, as a special guest.
    The Enneagram is deeper and more into the emotional realm, it’s a blueprint in the fundamental strategy. It can open the doors to getting yourself ready to transcend your personality or making relationships better.
    Ennea – means ‘nine’ in Greek. Gram – denotes its symbol – a circle with a three-pointed triangle. There are 9 personality types, each one is striving to be something different.

    Striving for Perfection. Lower form – can be a perfectionists. Higher form – achieves serenity and balance.
    Striving to have Emotional connections. Lower form – tends to give in order to get. Higher form – giving is very generous.
    Striving to be Outstanding. Lower form – tend to be very much conscious of their image and how people are reflecting it back to them. Higher form – looking for achievement and more credentials in order to feel worthy to others in the world.
    Striving to find a unique identity in the world. Lower form – they keep themselves separate. Higher form – they understand the human drama and they can be non-judgmental. They can generally accept at wherever you are in your personal space.
    Striving to be detached or non-attached. Lower form – Antisocial. They hide away and very protective of their own energy because they feel that they want to keep it for themselves. Higher form – can be great objective reflections of the world, they can get to truth easily.
    Looking for Security in the world. Lower form – Experiences paranoia in the world. Higher form – stepping into the role of leadership
    Looking for Freedom and Excitement. Lower form – tends to stay away from their problems. High – experiences an expression of pure joy.
    Looking for Power. Lower form – tends to abuse power. Higher form – executes the right amount and type of power to get the best results.
    Looking for Peace. Lower form -they absorb and reflect back all of the other types and that can look like laziness. Higher form – can look at all sides and mediate different aspects.

    Each of these types can get a little bit corrupted as they continue to strive. It colors their behavior and that’s where it can start to become a strategy.
    The theory is that we’re all of the Enneagram types and there’s a part of each one in us.
    You need to analyze and look where it goes and where your tendency is on your flow state.
    Pema Chodron talks about Shenpa and it’s when you catch yourself in the act of getting hooked.
    What is the major advantage to seeking more information on the Enneagram? Most of us don’t operate on our higher levels.
    Our Enneagram type defines as to where we get hooked, what and why it’s triggering us.
    Knowing your Enneagram type will help you make a better version of yourself.
    Helpful for us to analyze and make better decisions.

n this episode Joel and Antonia talk about finding your tribe and how to make friends.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    About our special guest: Sacha Lalla is a Women Empowerment Leader, speaker & coach, who helps successful women, who know they were meant for something bigger, take their life to the next level. Having successfully coached more than 300 people, Sacha has over 5 years experience in leading seminars, workshops and presentations to groups of up to 1000 people.
    When finding your tribe, you need to ask yourself what your motive is and why you want it in the first place. What are you looking for in friendships?
    Authenticity is the number one thing that make friendships work.
    Most people have many acquaintances in their lives and when we were kids, we learned how to interact with our playmates and associate ourselves with different groups. Finding your tribe is more complex than that.
    One of the biggest hindrances of building friendships is maintaining image and the projecting motives – people are usually in it because of business reasons.
    The number of friends and the quality of relationships you have does not dictate your value as a human being.
    The more you be yourself, the more people are going to love and want to make friends with you.
    Where you are is the location. In order to find the people you want to be intimate friends with, focus on your motives and emit that energy to everyone.
    Look for existing filtration systems. For example – workshops that talk about your interests and expertise.
    There are 3 types of people who face challenges in finding their tribe:

    People who are shy and find it difficult to initiate friendship – Shyness and introversion is one of the best qualities in building friendships. Start with giving compliments. Be honest and authentic with your intentions and where you’re coming from.
    Environmental and geographical challenges. Meet new awesome people with the help of  a tribe member and connect with them via email, Skype or social media.
    People who don’t take action.

    Be conscious of the energy you radiate when finding your tribe. Ask for an honest feedback from your friends on how they feel about you being their friend.
    We have the ability to maintain friendships virtually. Anytime you’re free, make sure you are connecting regularly.
    A tribe isn’t just a set of friends. It’s more complicated than a one-on-one relationship.
    In the world of building tribes, look for different tribes that radiate different types of energy.

Finding Your Tribe | PODCAST 0024

In this episode Joel and Antonia explain the difference between Introverted Intuition and Extraverted Intuition.

http://PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:

    Intuition is an effectively advanced pattern recognition. It is a learning style basically speculating the train of thought following what’s behind the curtain.
    Intuitives are not the majority so the world is not designed for them.
    People who have sensory learning styles aren’t comfortable speculating. They want more information to be safe and secure.
    We don’t have enough explanation why some people see the world profoundly
    Everyone uses intuition to some degree.
    Intuition isn’t judgmental. Its nature is really just trying to understand what’s happening behind the curtain.
    Inside us, our intuition is working in conjunction with our mind’s ability to evaluate the information it takes in. All by itself, intuition is totally non-judgemental. It’s simply a process of learning.
    2 types of intuition: Introverted vs Extraverted Intuition
    Introverted Intuitive Style = Perspective. Perspectives have the ability to watch their own minds form a pattern. When they hear people talk or do something, their mind will shift into the other person’s perspective and get a sense of what’s going on.
    Perspective users oftentimes don’t reveal this kind of genius. They almost have the ability to predict future events.
    In perspectives, you are able to see how large groups of people are going to react.
    The process of learning takes some time to develop. Perspectives are very easy to be distracted. It’s almost like a fragile process sometimes. If there’s a lot of sensory input, it’s hard to stay focused because it’s a fragile process.
    When working on problem, they wouldn’t know how they arrived at the solution. If they get distracted, they might never be able to pick up the trail again.
    Out of the 25%, only 10% are using perspectives.
    Perspective people tend to have a lot of one sided relationships and so they have very unique needs.
    Because they don’t have that many people who understand how it works, it’s difficult for them to rise up to become better version of themselves.
    Extraverted Intuition = Exploration. Unlike perspectives who are slow paced, exploration on the other hand, is more about exploring the world and understanding patterns on the outside world. They tend to be very interactive and engaging.
    They’re able to understand the connections and relationships to things that other people don’t. It’s about new connections.
    Intuition is interested in speed of information and depth of insight. Both types of intuition do this but Exploration is more inclined to speed of information and Perspectives likes the depth of insights.
    The world needs both styles of intuition. Without this, we would actually stagnate.
    The more you give yourself permission and make your intuition more powerful and strong, you could be truly unstoppable in making great things.


Introverted Intuition vs Extraverted Intuition | PODCAST 0030

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the dangers and pitfalls of hiding your intuition and “intuitive blending” instead of standing out.

PersonalityHacker.com

In this podcast you’ll find:     

Intuitives are people who use advanced pattern recognition as their primary learning style.     Sensors value reliable information. Intuitives prefer speculation.     Intuitives navigate the world that’s not created for them. Because of this, their needs are not met. They can start to believe that they’re broken as if something’s wrong with them.     They often ask themselves, “How do I see things the way other people do?” “What is it about me?”     Intuitives have the tendency to know their difference.     Since Intuitives are really good in pattern recognition, they don’t get the privilege of blissful ignorance.     Perspectives users can sometimes be a little detached by how people see them.     Most Intuitives pick up easily. They’re different and very aware of it. They do get this feeling that something is different inside them.     Because people who uses the sensory style are looking for something concrete and tangible, in their minds they have categories for everything.     When Intuitives start to pretend or act as sensors in order to fit in, they are now doing a process called “intuitive blending”.     With intuitive blending, they’re able to speak both intuitive and sensor languages. As a result, they end up denying an integral piece of who they are. Intuitive blending by definition means suppressing who you are. If an intuitive starts to blend, they have disqualified themselves from basically being understood.     Intuitive blending is very damaging because they are not getting their primary needs met which is Intuitive Conversation.     Intuitives want to make an impact regardless if it’s small or big. They want the world to give feedback that they’re doing an excellent job.     Intuitives have a great gift for leadership.     A sensor is going to make an impact based on something verifiable and tangible.     Intuitive Awakening Program – program specifically targeted to Intuitives which is designed to help them become the best version of themselves.     Only 25% of the people who are Intuitives and if they all go blending, the world stagnates.

Intuitive Blending | PODCAST 0031

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about developing an intuition action plan.

In this podcast you’ll find:

3 important components that an intuitive can introduce to their life when developing intuition in order to be at their happiest:

    You and your intuition
    Your intuition and other people
    Your intuition and what you do in the world

You and your intuition (Personal level: How it impacts you as a person)

    Become the healthiest version of yourself as you can be.
    Self permission and self acceptance is the baseline.
    After acceptance, learn to navigate through the world and manage that component. Once done in a positive way, it makes an intuitive amazingly healthy.
    There is a need to manage intuitive energy based on your intuitive type. Make sure to do things that feel natural to you.
    For example, avoid small talks if it doesn’t come naturally for you unless the return is high and it is being done for the benefit of others.
    Make sure to do things that exercises your intuitive energy.
    If your job, family or people close to you sap your intuitive energy, do baby steps to redefine your position and slowly take your intuitive needs met.

Your intuition and other people around you

    How do you make your way through the world wherein most people learn information and think differently from you?
    Usually, once Intuitives recognize who they are, they think they are better than most people but that doesn’t increase their personal happiness.
    They need to understand that they have unique abilities that most people don’t but a part of the world needs filling in.
    They should learn to appreciate non-intuitive people (people who have Sensory learning style); what they give to the world. Giving permission to others to be who they are doesn’t mean they will give permission for you to be who you really are.
    Only you can give that permission which is self sovereignty. It is not about fairness but fundamentally on happiness. Don’t emanate resentment if the favor is not returned.
    Learn how to blend and be healthy. This  gives opportunity to express to other people one’s intuitive difference from others.
    Make sure you are having relationships with other Intuitives as well.

Your intuition and what you do in the world

    How to extend the gifts you have as an intuitive?
    Foundational needs should be met first and that includes personal relationships.
    Realization. You might be doing what you were always told that you “should do” than what is really in your heart and mind.R
    Redirection. You reapply all skills you have learned to whatever you love.
    Progression of passion, purpose and mission. Passion is the starting point. Doing the thing you love and maybe using it in earning a living. This graduates to purpose; how to keep doing the thing you love and also impact the world in a positive way? Then it becomes a mission.
    An awareness of a purpose and a strong will to make a movement that could change or lead to more positive things. Play with options and see what happens.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast

    Write down the 5 things that gives you energy as an intuitive. What is it that builds into your intuition?
    Think abbot the ways you can communicate your intuition, ways you can hold space and relate to them on your terms if they don’t think like you do.


Developing An Intuition Action Plan | PODCAST 0033

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the reliability of personality typology systems.

In this podcast on personality typology systems you’ll find:

    Are personal typology systems reliable? At Personality Hacker, we are primarily interested in personality development.
    People have varying degrees of interest in personal typology systems. Oftentimes, many people will arrive to a point where they question its usefulness and credibility.
    Personality psychology is particularly new; there is not much hard data behind it and there are more questions than answers.
    Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) talked about how we form relationships with people. We initially create a dependent relationship. Overtime, we start developing our own ways of seeing things and we become independent. Eventually, we realize that working together in some ways (but not all the time) serves a greater purpose and we become interdependent.
    A lot of people stay on the dependent and independent phases. They over rely on personal psychology systems or they only see its limitations and no longer cogitate it as valid.
    The healthiest phase to be with is the interdependent phase. It doesn’t have to be something you should rely on constantly.
    At Personality Hacker, we use 3 models – Myers-Briggs, Enneagram and the Graves Model. All three of these models have limited application and are very useful when used in context. When it ceases being useful, it ends up becoming a destructive weapon on hand.
    Don’t think that this is something you have to apply in all situations. If you can’t apply it or if it’s preventing you from being happy, stop using it. Each context are different. Use what works to bring happiness to your life.
    The aim to help people grow. We want to see these models being used for personal growth. Any tool that enables growth is something that we look at.
    People can do personal development without the help of personal psychology models, but personal psychology can help you attain personal growth faster.
    We all can’t help but use typology systems because we all naturally categorize things.
    No matter how we good we are at personal psychology models, they’re simply representations and are not the actual thing itself.
    The only way to be in reality is to directly experience something without bias. Just be receptive. Once you bring thought and feeling, you are becoming biased to it.
    Any argument about whether or not something is accurate is meaningless unless you put action to it.
    Don’t hold on to something too tightly, it really is a matter of what works for you. Ask yourself, which model is working for you? What gets you to a place that makes you a better version of yourself and does not burden you?
    Personality Hacker’s goal is to make people become better versions of themselves. Go out and make the world better.

Can You Trust Personality Typology Systems | PODCAST 0035

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk with their friend Dan about his personal development journey thought the lens of Personality Types.

In this podcast on personality types and relationships you’ll find:

    Personality psychology is a very interesting and intriguing system for most people. When applied to one’s personality development, it takes on its most powerful form. It becomes a very helpful tool in improving business, communication and relationships.
    Dan gives an overview on his journey in understanding and using Personality psychology in his own personal development.
    Sometimes too much familiarity with what is known and reliable creates an unhealthy comfort zone. It traps us in the same situations and limits us to see other options in life that we can choose from to become happy.
    Whenever we are going through a rough time in life and feel that nothing works, we start to reassess things.
    Personality typology can be used as a map to start exploring new things.
    Pain becomes overwhelming when there is nothing or no one to guide, help or understand. For some, there might be a point when they plan on killing themselves and even if it is not physical, a part of them dies because they can’t be their authentic self.
    Re-evaluation is not always the way. If you are sincere in your belief and you are happy, keep doing it.
    There is an impression that if you are not fitting in, something is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you or on the system. There is just a mismatch and a key to moving forward is to understand what motivates you and what doesn’t.
    The heart and soul of personality hacker is all about using Personality typology for personal growth.
    Different things make different people happy. Personality hacker gives an understanding on how to create unique and individualized happiness to every personality type.
    Pursuing happiness is never wrong but doing it leads people to think that they are selfish since along the process, they hurt and drive away the people around them. Personality development is prevented because of this fear of being lonely.
    Living authentically to yourself by having your needs met makes you a productive person.
    It allows you to give more to people in your life since you already have something to give. Giving permission to be yourself in turn gives permission for others around you to be themselves.

Exercises we recommend in this podcast:

    Spend time to explore opportunities. Grab whatever is available that helps. Start out small. Getting out of your comfort zone will give you an idea on the direction you want to go in life.
    Ask yourself what you want to tell yourself five years from now?

Personality Types in Personal Development | PODCAST 0038

In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the introvert advantage in a world that is becoming more and more extraverted.

In this podcast on the introvert advantage you’ll find:

    Introversion gets a lot of misunderstanding. People in general have a lot of confusion about introversion and extraversion.
    Do introverts have a disadvantage in this world? Do they have issues that are very unique to them?
    There are a lot of great performers that are introverts who can perform and speak very well.
    In business, life and social circles, people are expected to be extroverts. Public speaking, for example, is a challenge for some people.
    Introverts need time to be alone in order to recover their energy while extraverts get their energy by being in the environment and interacting with people.
    Energy is being managed differently by introverts and extraverts.
    Introverts – Inner world is the real world. When the outer world isn’t mirroring their inner world experience, they reconcile both worlds which takes too much energy.
    Extraverts – Outer world is the real world. Spending too much time alone drains their energy. In order to understand what’s really going on, they have to go outside of themselves.
    The outer world doesn’t specifically have to be people.
    When you understand people at a profound level, you can see and understand where they are coming from.
    Introverts have a great advantage to grow than extraverts.
    If you are an introvert, developing your extraverted process is the path to growth.
    Extraverts may find it more comfortable to live in an over communicated world, but it’s not helping them to develop their introverted process.
    Introverts need time to think and consider what they have to say.
    Every single personality type has a breakdown of 8 mental processes. 2 of these processes are the preferred way of navigating the world which balances human beings.
    Not all kinds extraversion is equal for all personality types. It helps if you know your personality type and the style of extraversion that is the growth path for your personality type.
    One of the best thing you can do to begin your personal growth journey is to know your personality. Knowing what kind of extraversion you’re going to grow as introvert is powerful.
