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

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.
  • Profiler Training monthly Q&A call.
  • 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.

    There is a giftedness literature on MB. Basically, INFP, ENFP, ENTP, INTP are found to be most frequent in the gifted population, essentially all the exploration trailblazer types. This made me think that such research is not picking up on the NJs, perhaps because they are hiding their genius.

    Peggy, that is insightful. I was wondering how personality biases cause different types to seek God.

    I had thought about how MBTI relates to spirituality. Everything in nature seems to follow some sort of structure, and MBTI is no different, and so it is a bit of an affirmation to me that personality type may be created by a spiritual force. The types seem to be teleological…that is, they are driven towards a certain end—toward integrating different aspects of their personality.

    I took your test and got perspectives/effectiveness, and the description in this podcast sounded pretty accurate. I’ll check out some more of your podcasts.

    Hey, Peggy!

    I completely agree – personality typologies come in many shapes and sizes (including spiritual practices), and they are invariably attempts to reach self-compassion, and concurrently, compassion toward others.

    This isn’t the exact same thing, but sort of related: I have a working theory that personality types are attracted to religions that feed their Dominant function (or, the “Driver” process in our Genius System). When a person leaves a religion it’s generally because it is repressing/suppressing that same mental process. It becomes intolerable. If the religion (or spiritual practice) neither fuels or suppress the Driver process, then it’s a mixed bag and generally where we see people “identify with” or affiliate themselves with that religion, but aren’t the missionaries, so to speak.

    Thanks for the comment. :)
