Create A Personality "Couples Map" For Your Relationship: https://personalityhacker.com/couplesmapping Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about why people tend to fight about sex – money and relationships and how using the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs model can help resolve conflict. In this podcast you’ll find: Disagreements and fights commonly occur within relationships. Counselors and relationship experts often tell you that people fight about sex, money and family issues. Why is it that this is a recurring issue among couples? What are the solutions? Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of Needs is a lifelong achieve to go from the bottom to the top tier. These are our fundamental human needs and we come in and out them from time to time. These needs are not fixed nor constant. There 5 different levels in the pyramid. The bottom level is the “survival level” or the physiological needs – food, shelter, sex. Once this is established, we graduate to safety and security needs. Safety and security needs – the feeling of being safe like financial security, health and wellness. Love and belongingness– being romantically accepted, emotional needs are taken cared of. Self Esteem – when we want to accomplish something that’s bigger, something that contributes to ourselves and other people. Self-Actualization –happens when we feel good spiritually, we feel like we’re more than just the sum of our parts. We have a lot of abundance in resource and we feel that we can give back without feeling like it’s costing us anything. Most of the common issues that couples fight are in the first three tiers. Money issues are huge and is a safety and security need. Whatever the issue is, it all comes down to blaming your partner about and not realizing that there’s a need going unmet. Donkey Smuggling – Smuggled emotions happen because people feel unsafe. You can remove the blame game by asking “Which need is unmet”. Example – if you haven’t eaten for the entire day, your mood will be affected which increases the risk of you diverting (blaming) your mood towards your partner (other people). Understanding the model (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs) helps anybody understand and look at the problems and not the person. Getting your needs met is the way to give back to other people. Talk about your partner and try to ask which needs are unmet Get each other’s back as a couple. Support each other by fulfilling each other’s needs. How can we manage our feelings as individuals so that we don’t feel unsafe? Relationships do well when needs are met. When you and your mate are in a tense discussion, think about relationships in getting needs met. Exercises we recommend in this podcast: Write on a sticky note “Which need is going unmet?” Constantly ask yourself this question. ============================ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ============================ Subscribe With iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/personality-hacker-podcast/id793330058?mt=2 Non-iTunes Link http://feeds.feedburner.com/PersonalityHackerPodcast Google Play Store https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ifctodn7hhae6oo3q4czrmt34mm Download The Android App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodbarber.personalityhack&hl=en Subscribe on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/personalityhacker Subscribe on Stitcher http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/personality-hacker #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Create A Personality "Couples Map" For Your Relationship: https://personalityhacker.com/couplesmapping Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode, Joel and Antonia talk about Imago Relationships and relationship patterns we tend to repeat over and over as humans. IN THIS PODCAST YOU'LL FIND: The concept of Imago Relationships was introduced by Harville Hendrix in his book “Getting the Love You Want”. Imago is the Latin term of “image”. We have an image inside our heads of what love looks like based on our relationships with parents, teachers and the ones we love. Depending upon what kind of love interaction you had, you will pick up different love habits and certain markers that mean love to you. People look for those markers because that’s where they are very familiar. We also have unmet needs. It doesn’t matter how great your parents were because no person can fully meet another person’s needs. In time, you will meet someone who reminds of a deep unconscious level about your parents, sibling or anyone in your life. When you enter into a relationship, initially it would be fun but eventually, you will be unhappy because of needs that go unmet. There’s a concept in Imago relationships that you actually end up with the person because they can’t meet your needs. Whatever it is, people will look at those markers because that’s where they’re familiar and comfortable. It’s probably why people who were very abused when they were young are looking for someone who have experienced the same thing. We all enter the world wanting love, love is the number one obsession we have as human beings. We’re constantly looking for markers of love and that becomes love to you (no matter what form). The concept itself brings something that’s unconscious, then it makes us conscious and aware of what we’re doing. For example: “why am I entering with a relationship with this person, when I know it’s not good for me?” According to relationship therapy philosophy, we enter in relationships in order for us to grow. It effective shines a light on our wounding which opens the opportunity to do something about it. If that happens, you can either justify the feeling you had or you can re-evaluate and say that it’s an expression or feeling you need to identify and work on. People who are in the Imago Relationship have the tendency to blame the other person because they’re not getting our needs met. As you mature, you realize that not one person can meet your needs. Look for the markers that are coming up. Anything you have tension in your relationship, or anything you feel bad, if your insides hurt, there’s something you need to work on. Everyone has their own triggers. If you are in an Imago relationship, use that as your tool so you can see what you need to work on. You need to understand who you’re with. When you have a loving relationship, you have positive intent for the person vice versa. The less you blame the other person, when you remove the defensive vocabulary, the more you grow, your partner understands you better and the relationships get stronger. Marriage is the tool in order to bridge intimacy and commitment. We need to remember that we humans don’t serve the relationship; marriage is not the ultimate thing or focus – we are the focus. Instead of attaching so tightly to the desired outcome, look at why you are attached. Ask yourself, “what need is going perpetually unmet in me?” Whenever you’re doing things that are not contributing to your personal happiness, that is an inroad in the imago of a need that is unmet. When you open yourself up, it can feel terrifying in the moment, but would you rather live a life where you repeat things over and over and you’re not getting to the next level or would you rather risk the relationship, grow and take the relationship to a deeper level? The one thing you cannot escape on the planet is yourself. Stop fearing that person, don’t live in a situation that leads to your suffering or misery. There are limitations to the type of imago relationship you’re going to enter. You wouldn’t want to enter an imago relationship where you face physical abuse. The only thing a relationship where being single can’t is being with another person all the time. As a single person, do everything you can in order to meet all your needs as possible. #imago #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalityTypes #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Create A Personality "Couples Map" For Your Relationship: https://personalityhacker.com/couplesmapping Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the Pygmalion Project and our tendency to try and make our lovers into what we want them to be in our relationships. The Pygmalion Project – is the concept is that polarity creates attraction. When two people get into a relationship, the initial attraction now becomes unendurable. Pygmalion was a character in Greek mythology who shaped his perfect woman out of marble and came to life. When we take somebody and make them our perfect ideal, what we really want is to turn them into something like us. Once people get into relationship, those differences are no longer viewed as differences but flaws. How do we handle wanting to fix somebody and make them more pleasant to us? Keirsey’s concept was that the more we understand the other, the less we try to fix it. Understanding personality types can help fix this as you learn to appreciate that this is just the way people express themselves. Oftentimes, employers are looking for someone who’s great at everything. We get this idealism that expect all from people and that is unrealistic. As an employer, you should hire someone who should make up your insufficiencies. When it comes to relationships, we are always looking for a perfect mate that just can’t exist. It’s common for introverts and extroverts to get in a relationship. Introverts appreciate the energy of the extrovert (example – they do a lot of talking). They like that they’re pushing them out of the shell. However, when they get into a relationship, they just feel that it’s too much. Models help us figure out the root cause of the behaviors. Understanding the root cause will help you realize that the things you perceive as a flaw from your partner are just differences and uniqueness which will make you appreciate and love them more. The things that you don’t understand from your partner is a representation of their genius. Oftentimes, we see the negative and the positive expression of something and we don’t realize it’s coming from the same place. Example: every instrument can be used as a tool in a positive and negative way. Regardless of our personality type, if we are proficient in something, we can use it for good or evil. When we see something being used as a weapon, oftentimes we want to remove the weapon from the person not realizing that it will also remove their ability to build. A negative expression doesn’t mean that the person is turning into a weapon. Hold space for the differences, if the person end up weaponizing the tools, don’t immediately jump to the conclusion that you need to change them. Remember that we get to choose how we interpret the way people behave toward us. Get familiar with models and personality psychology. Learn to understand the person and assume positive intents. One of the most important qualities you can bring to your relationship is looking for positive intent from your mate. Assuming everything comes from love and positivity, that’s a predictor of a long term relationship. #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Create A Personality "Couples Map" For Your Relationship: https://personalityhacker.com/couplesmapping Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about Gary Chapman and his book The 5 Love Languages. Gary Chapman outlines love in 5 different ways. These love languages are very powerful and we all have different ways of expressing our love to our mate. We’re often unaware that we speak in different love languages. When this happens, misunderstanding occurs because you’re going to think that the person is denying or withholding love from you. The 5 Different Love Languages Words of Affirmation. Expressing love through affirming words like how proud you are of your partner or maybe a nickname that only the two of you use dearly. It could also be the way you speak highly of them in public. Quality Time. Spending a lot of quality time. There are people who just want being present by the quality of time they spend with their mate. Gift Giving. Expresses love by finding that perfect object that will make the person happy or to receive a gift. Acts of Service. Doing the dishes, getting the oil changed in the car. Working hard to provide for the family. Physical Touch. Through touching and physicality. Examples include but not limited to snogging, holding hands in public, kissing in public and giving a massage. This is more than just sex. Sex is a fundamental need and is part of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. When couples have different ways of expressing their love (example – you’re a quality time person and your mate is an “acts of service” person), misunderstanding occurs and sometimes, causing one or both partners to feel “not loved”. It’s a matter of finding out what’s your love language and how are you misinterpreting selfishness. So how are you going to find out your partner’s primary love language? Test it, try giving them gifts for example and check if it creates a big impact to them. Oftentimes, the language you use to give love is not necessarily the language you get from the other person. The way that we receive love and the way that we show love might be different. Knowing not just what you and your mate are but what your receiving and giving language is, can be very powerful. If somebody is expressing love in a way that’s unfamiliar to us, keep in mind that it’s an attempt for them to show love intimacy. The more we can see positive intent from our mate, the more we understand that they want to feel intimacy, being able to understand the love language model helps maintain the intimacy and maintain a healthy relationship. Exercises we recommend in this podcast: Write down the 5 love languages and rate yourself and your mate from 1-5 (1 being the highest). Invite your mate to have their own list and talk deeply about it. #lovelanguages #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #PersonalityTypes #jung #lovelanguage

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about how to figure out your personality type when it seems like you are testing out as different types. If you are getting different results from other personality testing sites, how can you figure out your personality type? Oftentimes, when you answer some of the questions, neither of them feels good or right for you so you end up with a different personality type. We want you to know for sure type. Especially when you have had more than 3 types. You can go look for professionals like Personality Hacker who can guide you in unveiling your personality type. The vast majority of people are not difficult to type but there are 2 groups of people who are challenging to evaluate: Underdeveloped individuals – people who have personality disorders Extremely developed individuals – people who have been working hard on themselves and are very balanced. There are couple of principles to remember and very important to establish in the self-typing to process. Everybody is unique. There are 7 billion people in the planet so expect a lot of difference and variation. So when you’re looking at information about your personality type, you need to look at more factors and examples. Personality Typology is a Powerful Tool. It’s important to remember that most of the real value of the system is located somewhere deep and complex. Understanding the complex contexts allows you to understand yourself in a deeper level. There’s so much more information, you need to get to the deeper principles before you can unravel your type. Once you know your personality type, that’s the starting point to get more answers about who you are as a person. It’s a code that lets you know how your mind learns and absorbs information. It’s not about the behaviour, it’s more about how your mind works. When two people behave in a similar fashion, it does not mean that they have the same personality type. Behaviour emerges from a personality. If you see someone who behaves like you do, it doesn’t mean that you have the same personality. There’s going to be someone or anyone who will say that they are the one who can give you the answers and key to your personality. So what are you going to do if you got more than 1 results (Myers Briggs)? How can you figure out your personality type? Look for patterns. Figure out what you’re consistently testing out and narrow down your results. Discover and learn more. Read profiles from various online sources and assess which one resonates the most with you. Once you’ve narrowed down in about 2, do further research. One type should surface and will resonate with you the most. You know yourself better than anyone else. You will know (as soon as it happens) when you get your best fit type so read a lot of descriptions, keep on reading until you run into one that is the best description of yourself. The point of personality types is to guide you in the good direction. When you run into the right profile, you will notice that they are quite unique – it’s like finding the right coach. If Myers Briggs doesn’t work you, look for a different model. #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about Alfred Korzybski's ideas around General Semantics and how it can help us better understand each other as humans. This podcast episode talks about creating distinction on language and how creating better distinction fosters better understanding. The English language’s flexibility in the parts of speech is the main key to its popularity. However, due to its flexibility, we seemed to lose a lot of distinction on the language we use and this can cause a lot of misunderstanding. When communicating with other people, sometimes we expect that they will perceive the same representation or picture inside our head which is not true. Words that have no physical representation can be very challenging to picture because they lack the physical component Alfred Korzybski – the map is not the territory. General semantics (originated with Alfred Korzybski) is the concept that the language we use to transmit or express our ideas, feelings and thoughts in the world are always lacking and insufficient. The words we use are simply a way of trying to convey information to each other and when we mistake that words are ultimate and definitive, misunderstanding occurs. Unfortunately, we end up getting more attached and dependent to words, and we mistake words for the ultimate thing. If we over generalize people and oversimplify, it will lead to unhappiness because we only see the world in just one dimension. We need to come up with better ways to speak in order to represent reality. You will not see the solution to the problem when you generalize and over simplify. The words we choose to define reality are very important. If you are an English speaker, there’s limitation the language because it doesn’t have much distinction. Hence, we need to define more frameworks and subsets especially when solving problems. These distinctions are very important to best way to customize your growth as a person. Other languages have many representations of a single word. In the English language, subsets can be introduced in order to categorize different sets of definition. In relation to Personality Development, the more distinction you acquire and learn in personal psychology, the more you understand yourself and grow. Nothing should be considered absolute and static. General semantics is a powerful tool to see the world. It is intended to be a finer tune instrument for making evaluations. The language we use is not reality. The more understanding we can create, the more problems we can solve. #generalsemantics #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #PersonalityTypes #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about practical ideas to get yourself out of a funk or down mood. This podcast episode talks about real life practical ideas for getting unstuck whenever you feel like not doing anything. It’s a normal experience downtime especially right after the holidays. Here are 6 Practical ideas of physical things you can do in order to get out of the funk. Light. Any type of light will lighten up the mood (natural light is the best). Sun gives us Vitamin D which very important for our psychophysiological functioning. Take regular breaks and go outside to get some light at least 15 minutes a day. The reason why people get addicted to tanning is because the type of chemicals that are being released are similar to that of opium. Be sure that you are getting light not just for vitamin D but for the pleasure of your receptors. When indoors, the use of artificial lights may help in creating a warm environment. Water. Water is fundamental to our health. Most people don’t get much water to live a productive day. We all know that we need to drink water but because we hear it too much, we tend to think that we don’t need it that much anymore. Our brains prioritizes our gut. When your gut has fully met its hydration needs, the rest of your body systems will receive the benefits of water which will help keep you energized. If you think you’re drinking enough water, drink more. Imagine not drinking any water, tea, or any other liquids for the next eight hours. Drink a glass of water right after you wake up. Lastly, setup systems of water in your life in order to ensure that you get enough water throughout the day. Nutrient Dense Food. Similar to water, if you are not taking in nutrient rich foods, your brain will allocate more nutrients to your stomach and this will negatively affect your mood. Sometimes when we’re down or stressed, our food preferences tend to lean toward the junk foods that doesn’t have much nutrients. Nutrient-rich liquids like smoothies can easily be prepared whenever you feel down. Physical Activity. It doesn’t have to be lengthy exercise at the gym. Give yourself permission to do the things you like doing. Feel no self-consciousness around it and let yourself do the thing that you love. Give yourself permission to feel good. Does your work encourages you to sit for longer hours? Take quick breaks and walk outside or setup a standing desk. Music. Music is very powerful and important as a mood creator and facilitator. Nowadays music can easily be accessed (through almost any devices and services like Pandora, Songza and Spotify). Put on music that puts your mood up. Binaural beats may also help. Daily and Morning Ritual. Rituals get you excited every morning. Examples include drinking a glass of water after waking up. Creating a pleasurable morning ritual is one of the greatest ways to keep yourself from being discouraged. Regardless of the context you’re in, make sure that your morning is something you love to do. Practice your morning ritual in order to build your muscle memory. Getting out of the funk is initially the first step but ultimately, you’ll be more focused in being happier in life. #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf The structure of civilization supported work life balance in the past especially in the Industrial age. There was a clear definition between things to do at work versus things to do at home. There used to be a definite time to do work related activities and a definite time to spend with loved ones at home thus making work life balance easier to attain during that time. We are currently in an over communicated time wherein we are so much tethered to communication devices and technology that keep us connected to the world. These allow us to stay on top of things but in turn create a very demanding intensity of workload making it a great challenge and somehow a confusion to have work life balance nowadays. Work life balance applies to a structure where there is a need to close one’s self from certain environment and situations. This kind of compartmentalization may appeal to some people but it is now becoming a trend for companies to provide their employees work which allows them some freedom from it. Since everything is becoming integrated nowadays, work life balance seems to be a non workable ideal. Instead of work life balance, consider work life integration. Integration is better than separation. Instead of compartmentalizing things which is done in work life balance, integration of important components of life allows us to take more control of our increasing workloads. Full engagement, full focus and doing things one at a time are some of the ways to integrate components of work and life. Overestimating things that we can do is overwhelming and very idealistic that it becomes impossible to attain goals. There is an existing belief in society that there is something wrong in achieving things without struggle. Deprogramming ourselves from that belief and instead creating personal development goals that incorporate all components of work and life allows us to experience pleasure along the way making such goals so much easier to attain. Personality hacker is fundamentally about being part of your own personal growth and development journey. Know whether Work life balance or Work life integration best works for you. #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #jung

Create A Personality "Couples Map" For Your Relationship: https://personalityhacker.com/couplesmapping Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about power vs empowerment, the power couple, gender roles and why men might fear being objectified. Most men spend so much time focusing on standards of female beauty but do nothing to improve their own physical attractiveness. Men are used to being objectified as providers but are terrified to be objectified by their looks; that they have to look attractive to attract women. There is a shift in viewpoint which developed overtime that women don’t need men as a provider but a lifestyle and romantic companion instead. Collective unconscious in genetic memory implies that women have always been victims of exploitation. Some are even still looking for ways to prove that they are victimized by men. There is a sense of retribution in women to want men to experience their hardships. Mentality creates reality. We can create or influence others to become predators by insisting that they are bad. This way, we are neglecting them and stopping them from having a connection with us. Once the honeymoon phase in a relationship (which lasts one to two years) ends, the power struggle phase comes in and makes or breaks a relationship. Both genders nowadays have almost equal opportunities open for them leading us to a current position of a gender power struggle. It creates a situation where one is forced to lose so that only one can have power; there can’t be shared power. Power is about hierarchy structure where one is in authority and the rest are subordinates while empowerment is about personal power which can be achieved by everyone. What is a power couple? A Power Couple is created when two people with equal skills and talents both give space for one another to be fully empowered making them unstoppable in doing extraordinary things. There is currently an unprecedented level of competition wherein when one is able to provide something others can’t, it makes that person more attractive than most. In this sense, self-empowerment needs to be focused on by everyone regardless of gender. Attraction is not a choice. Being the best version of ourselves is the best initial attractor.

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about developing a generosity of spirit for other people in your life - whether you know them or not. We normally view generosity as giving material things, time, affection, etc., but there is also generosity of spirit wherein people are in a positive mood and share that energy to others. Even the extremely generous people can be unaware that they are stingy in terms of Psychological generosity. What is generosity of spirit? It is accepting the fact that others may not accept and may even rip apart your own opinion or premise even before fully understanding it. We don’t always have to be psychologically generous for other people to define us as a generous person. We fear negative feedback because of the belief that it might influence more people to think differently than we do. We are brought up in a society where things always have to come naturally oppositional to make life easier. We are fed by society on how one should behave instead of understanding the position from which a person comes from which lead him to think and behave the way he does. These are some of the reasons why it is very easy for us to judge and give negative feedback. Sensationalization of negative feedback usually does more damage than the actual negative feedback. We have to remember that a person cannot be summed up by one sentence or action only. Holding space for yourself and other people to express themselves without discrediting them is the healthiest thing to do to achieve a healthy co-existence with others. Having generosity of spirit re-evaluates one’s position in life, makes one more open to compromise and also makes getting world feedback easier; all of which creates progress. To develop a generosity of spirit, we need to realize that we could also be wrong since we focus so much on our own preferences that we think of it as morality.

What is an Ambivert Personality? Does it really exist? All of us have one introverted and one extraverted process in dealing with the mental world Example: ENFP. Extraverted Intuition/Introverted Feeling Both introverted and extraverted processes are important and as you grow and develop these processes, the more you appear as a person with an ambiverts personality. We generally assume that extraversion means social (extraversion with people) and we assume that introversion excludes other human beings. However there are mental processes that are extraverted but are not social, and there are introverted processes that necessitates getting in touch with people. Ambiverts are the ones that who have a strong association of these two processes. They can see the part of them that is both extraverted and introverted. Don’t mistake your identity to a four-letter code, that’s a starting place of understanding how your mind works. You are way more than what any personality system can type you. Don’t assume that it explains everything about you. Your co-pilot is the highest leverage growth opportunity for you. The point of the map is to simplify. You need different styles of maps for understanding personality development and how your mind works.

Oftentimes we think that we wasted our time during our younger years especially if we didn’t get any return on investment. There are many ways for people to identify themselves, perhaps in a certain time we graduate, the times we spent before and many more. Make a list of the things that you experienced in order to get what you really want. Remember that you wouldn’t be where you are today without things you experienced in your past. The skills you’ve learned and things you did helped you to arrive where you are now. We tend to forget to be grateful for the things in our lives that has gotten us to the places we’re at. The more grateful you are, the more you accomplish and achieve. People who have been raised in a survival context (example – people who had terrible upbringing and faced a lot of tragedy in life) have the ability to navigate the world in a very interesting way. Humility VS Modesty. Humility is all about where you stand in relationship to everybody else. Modesty is about accepting your limitations and at the same time, acknowledging your skills. People are more inclined to trust you as a person when you provide an accurate assessment of where you stand. Give yourself permission to be awesome. When you accept how much power you have and all the amazing things that made you who you are now, it takes you to a new level in making a huge difference in the world. #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #Jung

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about the introvert advantage in a world that is becoming more and more extraverted. Introversion gets a lot of misunderstanding. People in general have a lot of confusion about introversion and extraversion. Do introverts have a disadvantage in this world? Do they have issues that are very unique to them? There are a lot of great performers that are introverts who can perform and speak very well. In business, life and social circles, people are expected to be extroverts. Public speaking, for example, is a challenge for some people. Introverts need time to be alone in order to recover their energy while extraverts get their energy by being in the environment and interacting with people. Energy is being managed differently by introverts and extraverts. Introverts – Inner world is the real world. When the outer world isn’t mirroring their inner world experience, they reconcile both worlds which takes too much energy. Extraverts – Outer world is the real world. Spending too much time alone drains their energy. In order to understand what’s really going on, they have to go outside of themselves. The outer world doesn’t specifically have to be people. When you understand people at a profound level, you can see and understand where they are coming from. Introverts have a great advantage to grow than extraverts. If you are an introvert, developing your extraverted process is the path to growth. Extraverts may find it more comfortable to live in an over communicated world, but it’s not helping them to develop their introverted process. Introverts need time to think and consider what they have to say. Every single personality type has a breakdown of 8 mental processes. 2 of these processes are the preferred way of navigating the world which balances human beings. Not all kinds extraversion is equal for all personality types. It helps if you know your personality type and the style of extraversion that is the growth path for your personality type. One of the best thing you can do to begin your personal growth journey is to know your personality. Knowing what kind of extraversion you’re going to grow as introvert is powerful. #Introvert #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #PersonalityTypes #Jung

Goldstein who co-wrote the book "Creative You" with Myers-Briggs expert Otto Kroeger on what it means to express your unique creative personality. Creativity is often discouraged because of an existing social template. At Personality Hacker, we want to see people grow and do things based on their own uniqueness and not on a template that have been handed down to them. Recognizing Personality types allows us to see people for who they are without malice or bias. Understanding how and why others think and act the way they do makes it easier for us to get along with anyone. Criticism is based on how a person sees the world. People who criticize see a different part of a creation. Never be discouraged when criticized for doing something you are passionate about. At the same time, listen to what others feel or see is important; if a growth opportunity is provided then consider accepting criticism. We are our own gatekeepers of creativity. It is up to us to give ourselves limitation or permission to be creative. Our own unique creative differences are our greatest strengths in achieving creativity. Everyone can be creative in their own way using their own unique Personality type. Antonia recommends the book “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron for growth and development of ENFP and ESFP Personality types. Reclaiming your childhood creativity is getting back to the things you used to love as a child. This is one thing you can do to discover your own unique creativity. It is important to keep children creative as they grow up since it is frequently during the childhood years that creativity first gets discouraged. Reading books written by people similar and/or complimentary to your Personality type is a good exercise to develop your Co-pilot Process. You can’t do everything on your own. You need someone to make up for whatever you lack. Collaborating with people different from your Personality type also helps in producing creative work. The Process of Creativity from creation to completion: Recognize yourself as a creative individual. Give yourself permission to be creative. Find mentors to share with your creativity and to guide you along the process. Partner or collaborate with someone who makes up for whatever you lack. Live your art. #CreativeClass #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #PersonalityTypes #Jung

Transition usually comes from the pain that forces you to make a change. When people are stuck at a particular development level, they question themselves “How do I transition to the life that I want to be living?” Transition is often destructive and causes pain. There is letting go of old skills and knowledge learned no matter how hard you put up with it to give way to learn new things. In the old world, a level of safety and security has been established but during transition we are entering a world of complete unknown as we free float to the next level. This becomes a less frightening experience once you trust yourself and the process. Let go and be open to being suspended. Have faith that everything’s going to be alright. Soon enough you will land into something unexpected and awesome. There are two parts of transition: The Level of awareness that transition is needed The Decision Point There is a lot to give up during transition. Most importantly, identity is lost. We have already been defined by our old life and letting go of that leads to not knowing ourselves anymore. It gives a feeling of death to one’s self. There is ego death. As we let go, we destroy and recreate that old identity, we become a new version of ourselves. Still the same creature but not the same incarnation. People usually see life in two ways: Life as a problem to solve Life as a game to be optimized People who see life as a game to be optimized are more comfortable and are willing to let go which makes transition easier. Build a certain amount of skills and carry it with you to help you through a new transition. Find something or someone that brings you comfort and faith that everything will be alright but remember that you’re the only one that can make that choice to enter transition. #PersonalGrowth #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #Jung #PersonalityTypes

Take The FREE Personality Test: https://personalityhacker.com/genius-personality-test Get The Personality Hacker Book: https://amzn.to/37JMJVf In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about systems thinking. They reject the notion of cause and effect and instead posit the idea that everything is an emergent property of a system. There is no such thing as Cause and Effect but only “Emergent Properties of Systems” Systems Thinking is a way of thinking or interacting with reality that is different from basic Cause and Effect. When we try to create influenced results, we end up having limited influence over it because we are not seeing the other Influencers or Nodes in the system. To have a desired result, recognize that nodes have to work in a certain way to have an “emergent” (thing that emerges from all things working together). We turn to Cause and Effect thinking because things are too complex to understand and because it is easier to fuse Sequential events. A System is a cluster of themes working together influencing each other; doing things synchronously and asynchronously and brings about an inevitable emergent. Two things to keep in mind about systems: Initial Condition (starting condition of a system) How the nodes in the system interact with each other Systems thinking is more accurate than Cause and Effect thinking. It improves relationships and gives more favorable results. Raymond Kurzweil’s Theory of Singularity states that Technology doubles in an exponential growth curve. Singularity is the time period where technology is doubling too fast to observe. The value of node connections is going up while the cost of information is lowering down. Intuition is needed now more than ever to figure which systems to work on, how systems are working and how to manage information. Gregory Bateson (Author, Steps to an Ecology of Mind) states “Systems are delicate. We don’t see them so we break them”.

Personality psychology is a very interesting and intriguing system for most people. When applied to one’s personality development, it takes on its most powerful form. It becomes a very helpful tool in improving business, communication and relationships. Dan gives an overview on his journey in understanding and using Personality psychology in his own personal development. Sometimes too much familiarity with what is known and reliable creates an unhealthy comfort zone. It traps us in the same situations and limits us to see other options in life that we can choose from to become happy. Whenever we are going through a rough time in life and feel that nothing works, we start to reassess things. Personality typology can be used as a map to start exploring new things. Pain becomes overwhelming when there is nothing or no one to guide, help or understand. For some, there might be a point when they plan on killing themselves and even if it is not physical, a part of them dies because they can’t be their authentic self. Re-evaluation is not always the way. If you are sincere in your belief and you are happy, keep doing it. There is an impression that if you are not fitting in, something is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you or on the system. There is just a mismatch and a key to moving forward is to understand what motivates you and what doesn’t. The heart and soul of personality hacker is all about using Personality typology for personal growth. Different things make different people happy. Personality hacker gives an understanding on how to create unique and individualized happiness to every personality type. Pursuing happiness is never wrong but doing it leads people to think that they are selfish since along the process, they hurt and drive away the people around them. Personality development is prevented because of this fear of being lonely. Living authentically to yourself by having your needs met makes you a productive person. It allows you to give more to people in your life since you already have something to give. Giving permission to be yourself in turn gives permission for others around you to be themselves. Exercises we recommend in this podcast: Spend time to explore opportunities. Grab whatever is available that helps. Start out small. Getting out of your comfort zone will give you an idea on the direction you want to go in life. Ask yourself what you want to tell yourself five years from now? #PersonalDevelopment #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #PersonalityTypes

Personality types and personal psychology in relationships can be a very powerful tool in communication. When we learn about personality types, it gives us the language to describe how we work and operate. You come to realize that you are not alone and that there are other people out there who thinks the way you think. The moment you have this realization that not everyone sees you the same way other people do, you realize that other people are just being themselves naturally and that there’s nothing wrong with you. The way we learn new information impacts all of our experience and how people respond to us. Are you in a relationship with someone who wants to turn you like themselves? Pygmalion Project – when we are attracted to somebody who is completely the opposite of us and we start to craft or turn them like us. In Greek mythology, Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved. Stereotypes have a basis of truth. If you’re somebody that doesn’t fit the stereotype, there are many ways and things you can do to sort things through your personality type. Based on the population breakdown of the Myers Brigs, majority of females have the ISFJ personality type. Personality psychology can give you a whole new perspective of how you think and how the people you are in a relationship with thinks. Moreover, it helps you identify the similarities and differences and how you can communicate with them where you’re at. If you are using Personality Types and Relationships to put people in a box where it dictates what and how should they behave, you’re using it the wrong way. An intuitive is somebody who is interacting with the world using unconscious pattern recognition. Sensors are more interested on reliable and verifiable information. So they’re using their senses to tell them through direct experience what’s going on around them. In any type of relationships, no matter how you give each other space and permission, issues still emerge. There is a certain demographic that says sensors should never be in a relationship with Intuitives and vice versa (sensors should be staying with sensors and Intuitives should be staying with Intuitives). Although this is true in the context of compatibility and that more struggles and issues may occur, it’s just a matter of making sure that you’re not using a solution that is gross over-simplified. Doing this creates a rule that ceases you to be happy. If you oversimplify and become dependent on the rules you created, you’re not going to lead to best relationship possible. However, if you use Personality Types and Relationships to help understand what the other person is going through, you are able to: Find a compatible person for you because you understand where they are coming from. When issues occur, you can utilize your understanding of the other person to meet them where they’re at. #Relationships #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #PersonalityTypes #SelfHelp #Podcast #Jung

This podcast episode talks about where and when it is appropriate to use personality types in business. One of the best things in understanding personality psychology is that it showcases the personality type of the business owner or the person/department who does the hiring. If they are not careful, they will keep on hiring people like them. The implementation of personality types can point out creating a team of people who have the same blind spot. Personality psychology help employees understand each other. Once an employee understands himself, he unconsciously gives permission to the other team members. Being able to incorporate this in your business allows you to start thinking in terms of your customer and not just your team. You are also able to relate with people better and create strategies on how to position yourself in your career in alignment of your personality type. Understanding how to figure out what somebody else’s personality type is allows you to figure out all the existing blind spots and shed a light as to why you’re having trouble communicating with your team or manager. It lets you identify how you can effectively communicate with the person you want to talk to. Personality types in business can be very good to place/assign the right people on the right role. It’s basically a matter of matching people with their natural flow state. When you know personality psychology, you will know how to work with their energy which will result in an ergonomic job fit. Using personality assessments in hiring can be rely great in getting the right fit on behalf of the person who’s getting the position. 2 methods of profiling Active Profiling – Process of asking employees a series of questions that help identify their personality type. Passive Profiling – Observing someone’s behavior and determining their personality type from a distance. Understanding where you can fit and lead in the industry will help you create great things. If you don’t understand how personality psychology works, then you can be discriminatory against people because you see some qualities on them that may or may not be accurate. In relationships, your personality types are not as important as shared interests and values. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to be a great fit for the company, their values, characteristics and interests should be considered as well. Make sure that you are assessing the person holistically and not just a 4-letter code. There are a lot of benefits in knowing and understanding personal psychology in a business context as long as you recognize that your level of education on the topic is relevant. You want to make sure that you know and understand what you’re taking about. Don’t over-rely on information that you have superficial understanding with, do a deep dive and understand the content before implementing these strategies. #PersonalityTypes #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #Jung

This video was created using Exploration's Podcast Converter: https://convert.exploration.io Are personal typology systems reliable? At Personality Hacker, we are primarily interested in personality development. People have varying degrees of interest in personal typology systems. Oftentimes, many people will arrive to a point where they question its usefulness and credibility. Personality psychology is particularly new; there is not much hard data behind it and there are more questions than answers. Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) talked about how we form relationships with people. We initially create a dependent relationship. Overtime, we start developing our own ways of seeing things and we become independent. Eventually, we realize that working together in some ways (but not all the time) serves a greater purpose and we become interdependent. A lot of people stay on the dependent and independent phases. They over rely on personal psychology systems or they only see its limitations and no longer cogitate it as valid. The healthiest phase to be with is the interdependent phase. It doesn’t have to be something you should rely on constantly. At Personality Hacker, we use 3 models – Myers-Briggs, Enneagram and the Graves Model. All three of these models have limited application and are very useful when used in context. When it ceases being useful, it ends up becoming a destructive weapon on hand. Don’t think that this is something you have to apply in all situations. If you can’t apply it or if it’s preventing you from being happy, stop using it. Each context are different. Use what works to bring happiness to your life. The aim to help people grow. We want to see these models being used for personal growth. Any tool that enables growth is something that we look at. People can do personal development without the help of personal psychology models, but personal psychology can help you attain personal growth faster. We all can’t help but use typology systems because we all naturally categorize things. No matter how we good we are at personal psychology models, they’re simply representations and are not the actual thing itself. The only way to be in reality is to directly experience something without bias. Just be receptive. Once you bring thought and feeling, you are becoming biased to it. Any argument about whether or not something is accurate is meaningless unless you put action to it. Don’t hold on to something too tightly, it really is a matter of what works for you. Ask yourself, which model is working for you? What gets you to a place that makes you a better version of yourself and does not burden you? Personality Hacker’s goal is to make people become better versions of themselves. Go out and make the world better.

Self permission and self acceptance is the baseline. After acceptance, learn to navigate through the world and manage that component. Once done in a positive way, it makes an intuitive amazingly healthy. There is a need to manage intuitive energy based on your intuitive type. Make sure to do things that feel natural to you. For example, avoid small talks if it doesn’t come naturally for you unless the return is high and it is being done for the benefit of others. Make sure to do things that exercises your intuitive energy. If your job, family or people close to you sap your intuitive energy, do baby steps to redefine your position and slowly take your intuitive needs met. Your intuition and other people around you How do you make your way through the world wherein most people learn information and think differently from you? Usually, once Intuitives recognize who they are, they think they are better than most people but that doesn’t increase their personal happiness. They need to understand that they have unique abilities that most people don’t but a part of the world needs filling in. They should learn to appreciate non-intuitive people (people who have Sensory learning style); what they give to the world. Giving permission to others to be who they are doesn’t mean they will give permission for you to be who you really are. Only you can give that permission which is self sovereignty. It is not about fairness but fundamentally on happiness. Don’t emanate resentment if the favor is not returned. Learn how to blend and be healthy. This gives opportunity to express to other people one’s intuitive difference from others. Make sure you are having relationships with other Intuitives as well. Your intuition and what you do in the world How to extend the gifts you have as an intuitive? Foundational needs should be met first and that includes personal relationships. Realization. You might be doing what you were always told that you “should do” than what is really in your heart and mind.R Redirection. You reapply all skills you have learned to whatever you love. Progression of passion, purpose and mission. Passion is the starting point. Doing the thing you love and maybe using it in earning a living. This graduates to purpose; how to keep doing the thing you love and also impact the world in a positive way? Then it becomes a mission. An awareness of a purpose and a strong will to make a movement that could change or lead to more positive things. Play with options and see what happens. Exercises we recommend in this podcast Write down the 5 things that gives you energy as an intuitive. What is it that builds into your intuition? Think abbot the ways you can communicate your intuition, ways you can hold space and relate to them on your terms if they don’t think like you do. #intuition #MBTI #MyersBriggs #PersonalGrowth #SelfHelp #Podcast #Jung #PersonalityTypes
