More often than not, finding our type relies on more than just doing a test online or resonating with a type description - my case was no exception to this, and in this video I break down the journey I went through in order to find my true type code.

It was through this process that I developed my own way of understanding personality type, which I later codified in order to help others in the same way.

For this video I just went unscripted to a) give people an 'INFJ in habitat' vibe and b) introduce an informal format that may open the way to interviews and such in the future. As always, I'd love to hear from you in the comments.

About me:
Hi, I'm Harry, and I'm intensely passionate about personality typing and self-development - so much so that I have created my own Jung-inspired system, taking a more high-resolution look at the factors making up personality.

Through Cognitive Personality Theory I examine the underlying mechanisms behind cognition, and the means through which a single type can have limitless individual variation - I believe type itself is just a set of cognitive predispositions that can according to the needs of the situation be overcome.

I don't believe any type is limited in what they can achieve, but have noticed sensationalist attitudes and internet trends propagating a culture in which type-development is actively discouraged in favour of conforming to simplistic archetypes. Through CPT I hope to dispel various myths and oversimplifications of what constitutes personality type, and along the way encourage a healthier attitude towards type that allows a person to become not who they are told they are, but rather who they want to be.
