    Thank you for this podcast! It is so helpful in giving me ways to assist my ISFP son in personal growth. I will ask him to listen to it as well.
    Question:.
    As an ENFJ- I struggle alot with ESTJ’s. They feel like bulls in a china shop for me. If I work for one especially- which is often. You point out that we struggle with the same lesson to learn; agreed.
    The rub I find is that we don’t co-exist well. We are both trying to manage the shared environment for a different metric. I am managing for harmony and they are managing for metrics accomplishment.
    Any thoughts on this?

    So I was just about to write this and Joel literally took the thought from my mind. As an INTP I can have a ton of discipline provided that it is 100% congruous with my sense of authenticity. Once I’ve rationalized, systematized, and routinized something, to not then follow that through is, in my mind, disingenuous, inauthentic, and a betrayal of my own ideals; ostensibly who I am. That won’t do. For the majority of things I want to do, I have all of the hallmark proclivities to remain inert. But for a select few, albeit often for a fairly brief period of time, I muster the drive to not only get started but to also incorporate that into my own narrative (cognizant as I am that this is exactly what it is). At that point, I refuse to allow myself the leniency to let it slip. INTPs have the ability within us to be tyrannical to our own selves; in both positive and negative manifestations.

    This was a lot harder for me to follow and understand. Probably because the fixations had more to do with decision making. I’ll listen to it again.

    Thanks!
