ANNOUNCEMENT: CHANGING THE TYPING PROCESS FOR ONLINE TYPING

Hey, everyone, after I have had problems with the few reliable tests that I picked for testing people online recently, here is what I'll be doing from now on, if I get online typing requests:

1. I will send you 10 rows of adjectives from the Trent-Smalley paper DISC assessment. You will rank the adjectives in each line from the most like you to the least like you. I will personally score your results and not a robot.

2. I will ask you to write me 10 instances of yourself thinking and deciding. I will analyze these 10 instances, to figure out which functions are at work in your thinking and decision making processes

3. I will confirm your type with the MBTI facets and letters.

4. I will share the results, including an explanation of why I typed you the way I did. I will explain the reasoning behind every letter. But note in my typings J/P is not a conscientiousness dichotomy. In my typings, it is letter that tells whether the judging or perceiving function is your dominant function.

So yeah, I'm taking all the automation out of my online typings, and I'm going to use my brainpower to type you all. That's what I should have been doing all along.

Thanks for following and reading my blog. I hope you're learning a lot. I sure am.

TYPING IN PRACTICE POST #2: LI JO

This is one of the first typings (other than my dream people) I did, using my combined DISC/Jungian typology approach. I'm going to break it down step by step, how I typed LiJo.

LiJo is a YouTuber, who's real name is Lindsay Johnson, and believes firmly that she is an INTJ. In many people's eyes, she is obviously mistyped, and when viewers mention that in the comments of her videos, she blocks those viewers from her channel. She has a reputation for being very unfriendly and dominant and controlling on YouTube.

So I figured I would take her on. Here's how I approached the situation:

1. I started by trying to figure out LiJo's function preferences first, to determine which way I should be looking in a type. LiJo prefers S to N and T to F.

2. I looked for facets of DISC, that could help me identify LiJo's DISC profile. LiJo is very authoritative, dominant and controlling. She's also quite productive in her video output, and is efficient in getting videos up and done. She is very practical in her videos, and gets right to the point. She doesn't beat around the bush. She is conscientious, and has some perfectionistic tendencies. Those are facets of D and C, therefore LiJo's DISC profile is D/C. D/C is the only DISC profile that combines those two letters, so yeah, we know the profile has to be D/C.

3. D/C normally has a higher D than C, and is equivalent to the Briggs Myers type ESTJ. However, if the C is higher than the D (same profile name), the type also could be some versions of INTJ and ISTP. So next, we look at Jung's functions. Let's go back to the T and S preferences we identified earlier. Are they "outgoing or reserved" as Marson would say? One thing I often use as a visual aid for "outgoing and reserved " is "outgoing" pushing outward and "reserved" pulling inward. LiJo's conscious functions push outward, so they are extroverted, which means the first letter of LiJo's Briggs Myers type is E. So we know from the available Briggs Myers type options that the D/C profile represents, the only one that makes sense is ESTJ.

4. After this, to confirm LiJo was ESTJ further, I used the letter pairing traits from Briggs Myers. LiJo is definitely SJ and not SP, because she tells all kinds of stories in her videos, and relates them to the past. I also found her to be TJ over TP as well.

5. So, in conclusion, LiJo is ESTJ
