1,000th Follower Interview!
Bopte (seen above in a self-portrait) is a Mongolian American INFJ artist from New York. She is 16 and about to enter her junior year in high school and has hopes to become an animator.
What is your type and how did you become interested in personality typing?
I was in early middle school when I first discovered MBTI and quickly identified myself as an INFJ. I had always had in interest in psychology and had found out about it through exploring the internet for more personality tests etc. While looking through INFJ descriptions I was sort of amazed by how similar I felt to them and how accurate they seemed, as well as somewhat surprised that there were a whole group of people who were a lot like me. I never really questioned my type because I was sure of it, and other types never quite matched up.
How did you find our blog? What do you like about our blog?
I found type-unboxed through other MBTI blogs and thought that it was not only informative and had a thorough knowledge of MBTI but was also at times cute and comedic.
What do you like most about MBTI in general?
MBTI is my favorite personality test sort of thing because it doesn’t just look at someone’s overall personality but offers insight on how different people think and make decisions and really don’t have the same ways of reasoning or understanding one another. For me, MBTI is very helpful in my understanding of my family, an often stressful one with an intense and harsh mother (ESTJ) and a sometimes apathetic father (ENTP), as well as my two sisters (ESFJ and ENTJ). It’s hard sometimes being the only introvert of the family but with the MBTI I’m learning how to communicate better with them and connect more.
Short story about MBTI related to you or a friend? (What is the most interesting thing you learned about MBTI?)
My circle of friends include two INFJs, an INFP, and an INTJ. All of us have at least a little interest in MBTI, and we often share laughs about funny MBTI posts (especially ones where INFP is just crying, because really my INFP cries a lot). I’ve learned a lot about my friends through the MBTI and I try to make them happier according to their types and improve our relationships.
Advice you would give somebody interested in MBTI.
Advice I would give to someone interested in MBTI would be to really do your research! On cognitive functions! And make sure you’re not mistyping yourself or others! Also please understand that while someone’s type may say something about them, it doesn’t define them. Just because I’m and INFJ doesn’t mean that I’m a martyr, and just because my sister is an ESFJ doesn’t mean she’s a bitchy cheerleader.
On a final note I love MBTI because I feel that it helps me understand people more and makes me a better writer who can create more complex and human characters.
