Summary

Explore Your Personality: https://PersonalityHacker.com 
 
This episode explores why it can be difficult to find your best fit MBTI type when cognitive functions are oversimplified or described with bias. Joel and Antonia break down the four perceiving functions Sensation (Se), Memory (Si), Exploration (Ne), and Perspectives (Ni) and explain how each one can lead to mistyping through stereotypes, unclear language, or missing context. They also discuss why intuition is often misunderstood, why some people hide their intuitive side, and why intuitive patterning may matter even more in a world shaped by AI and increasing complexity.
