The world is a bunch of different points of view that cancel each other out.But every point of view has an element of truth. And it is your job to discover what that is.It is not the responsibility of the other person to show you the truth behind their point of view.It is your responsibility to study them and discover the truth that they are so passionate about.

One of the biggest traps in life is to fall into extremes.→Too much pleasure or no pleasure at all.→Being obsessed with money or not caring about money.→Depending on others for happiness or being a complete loner.The best path is almost always in the middle.

I spent the first three decades of my life wondering why everyone doesn't think the same way as I do."Why are they being so illogical?" - my younger self would say out of frustration.After countless debates, conflicts and altercations, I finally came across the Personality Type theory.It helped me understand myself, my strengths and my blind spots. But more importantly, it helped me understand that people vary in how they think and perceive information.I learnt how to identify these differences in people's personalities and appreciate their point of view.To be honest, it feels like a superpower. It's like wearing these high-resolution glasses where you can see everyone's perspective so much more clearly.There is greater diversity in the realm of personality than any other dimension.All members of a race, gender or ethnicity do not think the same way. And it's important to learn about these differences so that we can understand each other better and manage conflicts.Learning about Personality Type Theory has helped me improve my personal and professional relationships, and I truly believe this is a framework which everyone can benefit from.

What is the most powerful version of each personality type?You realise your full potential in life when you develop and integrate your inferior cognitive function.These are the archetypes that emerge for the 16 personalities: 1. INTP & ISTP - The Teacher2. ENTJ & ESTJ - The Crusader3. ESFP & ESTP - The Aligner4. ENFJ & ESFJ - The Truthsayer5. ISTJ & ISFJ - The Reformer 6. INTJ & INFJ - The Voyager7. INFP & ISFP - The Leader8. ENTP & ENFP - The IncrementalistYou might argue that instead of focusing on the inferior function, one should focus on their strengths as it can lead to a massive upside.That is a valid approach if you can live with the imbalance that comes from not developing your inferior functions.

Dating is hard these days. With hundreds of options at your fingertips, how do you pick "the one" to spend the rest of your life with?And how do you decide, within a few dates, if the one you picked is indeed the right choice for you?People talk about "rizz" and "matching vibes" these days. But these can be learnt or faked.How do you figure out someone's true personality behind all the jazz?Personality type theory is the best framework out there to achieve this.It can even help you predict the problems a pair might run into.And the best part is that mother nature takes care of this - you feel most attracted to people whose personalities you are most compatible with.

Men only want one thing.We have all heard this time and time again.But have you ever thought about why that is? Why do most men prefer physical connection over emotional connection? The answer lies in Carl Jung's cognitive function theory.60% of men are Thinking types.And for all Thinking types (except for INTJs and ENTPs), the Sensing function (physical) comes before the Feeling function (emotions) in their cognitive stack.So their default preference for forming connections is physical, using their Sensing function.Women, on the other hand - 70% of them are Feeling Types.And for all Feeling types (except for ISFJs and ESFPs), the Feeling function comes before the Sensing function. So their default preference to form connections is emotional, using their Feeling function.So, the next time someone says to you - "Men only want one thing", tell them it's because that is how they are wired :)

What is your goal?Where did this goal come from?Do you truly believe that achieving this goal will bring you happiness?Or are you pursuing it just because someone said it matters?The worst feeling is wasting years of your life chasing a goal, only to find that it doesn't give you any fulfillment."Society tames the wolf into a dog. And man is the most domesticated animal of all." - Nietzsche
