Unhealthy NTP: never finishes anything or focuses on the details (zero follow through),

uses their Fe to manipulate people (youre soft, and a pansy, and making you fall for
my BS is so fun, maybe I can even get you to cry by pointing out how stupid your
ideas are!) or intentionally hurt them rather than forge genuine connections or take
into consideration peoples feelings.

Healthy NTP: knows which ideas are better than others, in order to focus on bringing
them into fruition and either commits to them long-term by selecting a creative
partner (Ne/Fe) or giving their ideas away to others who can nail down the details. Is
logical but gentle in correcting others, mindful that peoples feelings matter and its
important for others to genuinely like you in life, in order to get things done (and
because its the nice thing to do). Realizes theyre prone to hyperbole, short term
interests, and exaggeration, and learns to laugh about it, but also acknowledge it and
work on fixing it. Takes personal responsibility for their mistakes.

Unhealthy NFP: never finishes anything or focuses on details (zero follow through),
follows their heart without regard for the consequences, using that to justify hurtful
behavior (I dont care what you think, I fell out of love with you, so I can cheat on you
all I want, Ive done nothing wrong, this is who I am, just deal with it or get out),
refuses to take blame for their part of the problem, may intentionally offend others,
and doesnt care about anyone but themselves.

Healthy NFP: knows which ideas are better than others and seeks to bring the best
ones into the world through healthy engagement of goals, deadlines, and process of
elimination (Te). Sets personal deadlines for self, and beats them, in order to stay
motivated. Understands what drives them most, slows them down, or angers them,
and commits to doing something about it. Learns such things as tact, when dealing
with others, but also when and where to defy social norms and stand up for oneself
(does that really matter? is it worth a fight?). Takes personal responsibility for their
mistakes.

Unhealthy NTJ: becomes obnoxious in pushing their vision on others or asserting


they know everything (including your motives) while devaluing your feelings or beliefs,
often sneers at people who make emotional decisions, and sometimes passive-
aggressively attacks peoples ego or intelligence that they do not like (okay, stupid,
Im just going to make you look like an idiot, while correcting every damn thing you
say, all day long, until you run away and cry).

Healthy NTJ: has a fair, balanced, and open-minded approach to life, is willing to listen
to others ideas and offer practical thoughts on them, but is neither arrogant nor pushy
about their knowledge, expertise, and logical detachment. Chooses when to correct
others with care, and never does so to humiliate, only to educate. Respects others
feelings even if they personally feel that the other person is making a mistake.
Focuses on taking their ideas and goals and making them real. Takes personal
responsibility for their mistakes.

Unhealthy NFJ: total detachment from reality, while stubbornly clinging to the belief
that their irrational interpretation is the truth (and the ONLY truth) (It DOES make
sense, youre just too stupid to understand it!), and resorting to a youre either with
us or against us mentality, which manifests in creating a single universal (sometimes
abstract) enemy and trying to recruit others to join their cause against them / you
(bad Ni and Fe).

Healthy NFJ: has a fair, balanced, and open-minded approach to life, accepts their
interpretation may be unrealistic, but is committed to bringing their ideas and
visualizations to life, often by recruiting others to a positive common cause. Uses their
understanding of others motives to uplift rather than tear down, and becomes a
source of compassionate and guiding wisdom for friends (I worry about you choosing
this path, and heres why). Never recruits others in any negative ways against
someone who disagrees with them. Takes personal responsibility for their mistakes.

Unhealthy STP: irresponsible, reckless, and hedonistic, engaging in short-term


behaviors that leave a wake of destruction behind (broken marriages, families, and
violated responsibilities), often using Fe to manipulate people to get what they want
(hey, Im super hot and Ive seen you ogling my backside, so Im going to wear
something that accentuates it so youll give me what I want in return one of these
days; I dont care how wrong it is) and then dumping them like hotcakes.

Healthy STP: knows life has much to offer and not only enjoys it but helps others
loosen up and try new things, but commits to the people, beliefs, and jobs that are
most important to them, for the long term. Understands and respects others feelings
and seeks to connect to them through that, as well as develop their own ability to
communicate. Learns the art of tact and when to use it (is it worth correcting this
person or does it matter?). Tries to think about the long-term consequences of
impulse, before engaging in it. Takes personal responsibility for their mistakes.

Unhealthy SFP: irresponsible, reckless, and hedonistic, going through jobs and
romantic relationships like wildfire, abandoning people every time they get bored or
feel unattached; justifies this behavior with selfish reasoning (I just dont love you
anymore, so I dont have to treat you with respect); unable to be counted upon by
other people, since they never show up or follow through; refuses to take responsibility
through their actions and doesnt mind offending others for no reason at all.
Healthy SFP: is good at self-entertaining and eager to try new things, and infects
others with a similar excitement; is good at pushing people out of their comfort zones
and encouraging them to aim high for their dreams. Has a strong sense of personal
beliefs, and is willing to commit to other people, and prioritize them in relationships.
Knows when its appropriate to defy social convention, and when its better to dial
back the but this is just who I am! and chill. Sets personal goals, deadlines, and
achievements, and sticks with things, so they have something tangible to show for
their time (Te). Takes personal responsibility for their mistakes.

Unhealthy STJ: refuses to adapt or change even when their world implodes; may try
and force or strong-arm others into their point of view. Has little interest or respect
for peoples feelings and doesnt mind crushing them on their way to success, but may
also play the role of a martyr in the process (since NO ONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE
AROUND HERE, I HAVE TO DO IT). May become irrational or paranoid with lower Ne,
and turn into a pessimist.

Healthy STJ: uses their extensive past experience to figure out what will and wont
work when dealing with life and problems, but is also open to new ideas, trying out
new things, and experiencing what lies beneath the surface (Ne). Tries not to shut
down ideas until they have considered them. Is practical, efficient, and logical, but also
respects peoples feelings and doesnt intentionally try to hurt, shame, or control
them. Becomes able to share what they need emotionally with others, rather than
playing a martyr (I would like it if you would take the trash out; since Im doing this
other thing, it seems fair, and it would make me happy). Takes personal responsibility
for their mistakes.

Unhealthy SFJ: refuses to change or adapt, while clinging stubbornly to their idea of
how things were, while struggling to control their emotions; may resort to being
fake in order to manipulate others, to us vs them thinking and overt moralizing (if
you dont agree with us, youd better change your mind or face the consequences,
because we cant let you hold such a wrong point of view and will punish you for it).

Healthy SFJ: uses the past to form impressions about people and situations, but
changes those perceptions based on new experience; is open to new ideas and beliefs,
and willing to look beneath the surface (Ne), with the aim of making those things
useful and tangible in the real world (how can this idea apply to life and improve our
situation?). Learns the art of polite affirming correction, which helps others become
better, while not shaming, humiliating, or insulting them for their behavior. Aware not
everyone needs to agree, and comfortable with those who dont; never recruits
anyone against anyone else, or adopts a mentality of lets get that person, together.
Takes personal responsibility for their mistakes.
