Funny, I don't think of N as big picture and S as detail. I think of N as starting with the big picture then working to detail, and S as starting with detail and gradually building a big picture. Nice episode. Enjoyed it. I’m an INTP.

It is possible to be influenced by your surroundings and a small number of cases are typed incorrectly. If you can find someone who knows something about MBTI and understands the types it can be helpful to talk it through with them and "get" to a type intuitively rather than through the test. If something sounds really wrong it normally is... You could also ask someone close to you whether they perceive you as your type is explained. That can be pretty funny! Sometimes we have characteristics that we don't see! Hey again, for all of those who are surprised by their type as it comes out of the test, don’t necessarily take the test at face value.

I'm an ENFP, but I find the idea of better understanding what motivates others quite interesting (think that fits in with the ENFP profile). Great show.

I am really glad you enjoyed the show. The question of the instrument and ageing is a really good one to which there are a couple of different answers. Firstly, Jung would have argued that we "are" a type from birth and that type does not change. Having said that, most people continue to grow throughout their whole lives, developing skills and capabilities (not to mention coping mechanisms!) as they age. In our 20s we don't generally have the ability to deploy our non-preferred behaviours - in our 30s and 40s we begin to be able to do so. Thus, even a P like me should, in theory, learn to plan and to anticipate (I'm waiting...!), S people shouldlearn to intuit, Ts should develop the ability to think of the impact on others, Es should become more self sufficient, etc. The extent to which we are able to develop depends on our environment and the extent we are supported by family, friends, and colleagues.

The test referred to this as "Each New Thought Propels" and after reading it I became far more aware of my strengths and flaws (self-fulfilling prophecy maybe). Today I am apparently an INTP. As I've been swarmed by children I've gone from being Extroverted to Introverted. Perhaps I have new strengths and weaknesses to examine. I wonder if anyone has done a study on the effects of aging on the Jung Type Indicator. Yeah I did one a few years back and I was an ENTP.

I wonder if age has given me a different application of self, being that the difference between the J and the P, perhaps the P being more apt for a young unmarried, childless woman, and then the J of a single mother of a 15 year old, uni student, running my own business...
