One of my favorite episodes! I've been wanting more neuroscience-based information on type and this was perfect. I also, Antonia, love the idea of everyone's type serving a purpose but at the same time would also love if it would was totally random and we're adapting to each other over time. I also possibly think intuitives are fewer in numbers because sensing is likely better at more primal survival, so intuitives are becoming more present in society due to evolutionary adaptibility of not needing to hunt and fish to survive. A bit of a stretch but a thought I've been kicking around.
I understand where you are coming from. I'm not sure if sensors are actually betters at primal survival. The hunter-gatherers were actually more likely intuitives because in wilderness when you don't have concrete knowledge of something then fast knowing and acting is beneficial. Intuitives are also good at inventing stuff such as tools. I think at the era of agricultural society sensors started to become more common because of all the rules and habits that started to prevail. However I don't know how that change could have happened when personality types are not inherited or is there a slightly bigger propensity to inherit your parents' personality attributes such as sensory or intuition preferences? I think there have obviously always been both intuitives and sensors because both are necessary for survival. Intuitives are the innovators and leaders and sensors make the actual work.
I don't agree you shouldn't work on your shadow functions. The individuation process is the unspoken goal given that the reason we are doing this in the first place is to work on that alignment (between the ego & shadow) throughout our lifetime.
Great podcast. I found it fascinating how empathy & logic/math are closely related in the brain. I'm INFJ and excelled at mathematics in school. In 7th grade, I and about 30 kids out of about 200 in a grade were placed into next grade level mathematics. I would receive A's. I enjoyed algebra and computer coding. Computers & Business (esp Accounting, Stats, & Business Math) was my first major in college. But it didnt satisfy my Fe and I went into health instead as I like helping people one on one. I'm 1w2 on Enneagram. I found it very interesting how types helped write their own type descriptions with Nardi. I related most to Foreseer Developer description. I appreciate Personality Hacker's work and love that you both have INFJ moms. I also have an INFJ daughter (1w2) so it's interesting to hear about INFJ as a mother in your other vids/podcasts. I'm friends with an ENTP and enjoy hearing your ENxP perspective. I'm curious about the neuroscience relating to the concept of time or perception of time with time management. I would think time management would require different parts of the brain (task decision making and relationship skills e.g saying no to requests). It seems ENxPs can struggle with this. Some manage it much better than others. I understand Ne-Si plays into this. I'm a punctual person (also part German growing up in heavy German influence aka efficient.) My pet peeve is the lateness that comes with some ENxPs in their personal lives. They may be timely at work but their personal life time management sometimes need work. I'm also interested in why some EPs need or enjoy chaos? It seems to relate to enneagram 7 and getting some dopamine hit as an EP. Ive read some people can become chaos addicts which my first thought was EP enneagram 7 would be most likely to fall under this in lower levels or times of stress. I love so many things about ENPs but lack of time management and chaos for certain ones are not part of it. I can be flexible and understand a place for chaos. But there is a difference between healthy and unhealthy chaos. Healthy chaos aims to build something constructive (entering new realms out of comfort zones, revolutionary periods that improve a society etc) and unhealthy would be self destructive. Would love to hear more about this from Personality Hacker & Dario Nardi. If you have made a podcast or vid about this, please forgive me and if you can send me links that would be great. Would like to hear some tips from ENTPs on how they improved their personal time management. Do they get into a certain flow zone that makes them lose track of time?
We touch on the EP's need for freedom in our FIRM Model episode. It's not been uploaded to TH-cam yet, but you can find it on our website here: personalityhacker.com/podcast-episode-0241-your-personality-type-fixation-firm-model/ -A-
“Taiwanese INFJ are not same as American INFJs”….. interesting…. though I’m not Taiwanese but been living in Taiwan for more than ten years while pretty much immersed in the environment….Including discovering that I’m INFJ. Would be even more interesting to see those brain 🧠 scans 🙃

Neuroscience is fascinating. I’m cannot stand meditation. It seems beneficial, but I can’t really quiet down. That’s is my main problem.
Fascinating.

How many ways can synesthesia pair concepts???
We tend to forget that the body is part of the brain since we’re all nerves.
The whole thing is mind + our connection to dark matter.
