Is it the trickster archetypal energy that's the problem?

Yeah.

Or is it the function itself?

We become fixated on what we believe our driver or dominant function needs in order to

operate at its best.

One of the reasons why people dislike their seventh function more than just about any other,

not because it necessarily puts them in double

binds. The seventh function violates their firm fixation. And that's almost every single person.

Hey, welcome back to the personality hacker podcast. My name is Joel Mark Witt. And I'm Antonio Dodge.

So I have a little bit of a deeper

personality question. It might dip into some theory today, Antonio. It's a little more technical. So if you're

maybe new to personality type, hang with us here. I think if you hear the question and you hang with us,

you will get some clarity on my question. So I'll just ask it. And then we can unpack maybe the meaning behind

the question. Okay. I was ruminating today thinking about our firm model of personality that we've

developed here at personality hacker. We have podcasts on that. I know as an ENFP, I have a firm

fixation around freedom. I have a proclivity to chase freedom almost when it doesn't make sense. And sometimes

I create a situation for myself because I'm chasing freedom that actually binds or sticks me.

So I hate the feeling of being stuck. So I was reflecting on my seventh cognitive function

of introverted thinking or accuracy. So we have eight cognitive functions that run inside of our personality. Mine is an NFP is introverted thinking or accuracy. So we have eight cognitive functions that run inside of our personality.

Mine is an NFP is introverted thinking or accuracy.

And I was thinking about it today going, man, and I was blaming accuracy for this.

I was like, I don't like being in double binds, which is this energy puts us in.
