“You don’t just need hard work, you also need skills.”
Me: “well i know that, of course you need skills. seems like this podcast will be more generic than usual”

“What people don’t know is, you’re going to massively suck for a while and may not even want to do it anymore”
Me: feel personally attacked
Thanks for this podcast! This made me realized a lot of things, essential things I didn’t want to realize ? – infp
Hello Joel and Antonia, I was listening to the INFx Interview Podcast and really enjoyed it’s content (as I do with most of your podcasts on my morning ride), so much so that immediately looked for it’s cousin podcast “Personal Lessons From INTP and INTJ Interviews”, but to my dismay, there was nothing to be found. I think it would be really great if you guys could give us a soundbite-like piece of that sweet sweet information from the INTx program.

This is a game changer for me. I’ll admit I have looked to personality typing to find the right ways of doing me. Thinking that once I know the right formula for ‘my good life’, that life will come easy. And I have long felt discord when applying this unrealistic belief to meet the world.
It makes sense that we are not good at something we have not spent effective time on. And defeating when someone may have told us we are good at something as a child, but as an adult we realise we are not. Great insight ? Thankyou ?
I agree, but I still think that talent is important. When bitten by the radioactive spider, Spiderman wasn’t motivated to become a math genius. He was motivated to do the things in which he suddenly had innate talent, or the things he was suddenly already good at.
I think what often happens is that we try some new activity and figure out that we’re talented at it (perhaps because others who are trying it don’t perform as well as us). That early success can motivate us to practice and learn more, so that we can do even better. After all, I think most people probably enjoy being successful and good at something.
Conversely, if we we try some new activity and we’re bad at it, we’re more likely to give up. We may think that it will take a ton of work to even become average, and may even consider it impossible to become highly skilled.
Hi! Can I message you about your thoughts on feedback loops and their role/how they are used in personality development? Complex systems/feedback mechanisms are a piece of my research and I’d love to talk more about how you guys are trying to use/teach them in your practice.
