Enneagram and Emotional Intelligence: A Powerful Combination for Effective Communication

The MBTI Apocalypse: A Clash of Preferences

Introverts vs. Extraverts? Thinkers vs. Feelers? When the apocalypse hits, your MBTI type might just determine your survival!


 Imagine a world thrown into chaos, not by zombies or aliens, but by the very foundations of personality itself – the MBTI Apocalypse! Let's delve into this quirky scenario and see how different MBTI types might react:

The Rise of the Perceivers (Ps):

  • The Great Experiment: Tired of structure and routine, Perceivers (Ps) lead the initial uprising, yearning for spontaneity and exploration in a world gone stagnant.
  • The Clash of Styles: However, Ps themselves struggle to maintain order within their revolution. Their indecisiveness (P) creates constant debate over the "how" of building their new world.

The Uprising of the Feelers (Fs):

  • The Empathy Uprising: Feeling types (Fs), long suppressed by logic-driven systems, revolt against a world devoid of compassion. They prioritize human connection and emotional well-being in their new order.
  • Harmony Through Conflict: However, Fs themselves struggle with conflict resolution. Their desire for everyone to get along (F) can lead to endless debates about the "who" deserves what in the new society.

The Strategizing of the Thinkers (Ts):

  • The Logic Bloc: Thinking types (Ts) see the apocalypse as an opportunity to rebuild society with efficiency and reason at the core. They devise meticulously planned communities focused on resource management and problem-solving.
  • The Iron Fist?: However, Ts themselves can struggle with considering diverse perspectives. Their focus on logic (T) can lead to a rigid and potentially oppressive new order.

The Standoff of the Introverts (Is):

  • The Quiet Resistance: Introverts (Is) retreat from the chaos, forming self-sufficient communities that value solitude and reflection. They prioritize individual growth and inner peace in their new world.
  • The Power of Knowledge: However, Is themselves might struggle with collaboration. Their need for alone time (I) can hinder the exchange of ideas and knowledge necessary for a thriving society.

The X-Factor: The Judging Extraverts (JEs):

  • The Natural Leaders: Judging Extraverts (JEs), with their natural charisma and decisiveness, emerge as potential leaders in this chaotic world. They leverage their ability to organize and get things done (J) to navigate the conflicting ideologies.
  • The Balancing Act: However, even JEs face challenges. Their focus on control (J) might lead to power struggles if they try to impose their visions on everyone else.

The Uncertain Future:

The MBTI apocalypse would be a messy, unpredictable affair. Each type brings strengths and weaknesses, leading to a complex struggle for a new world order. Perhaps the key to survival lies not in dominance by a single type, but in finding a way to leverage the unique strengths of each preference to build a society that values logic, empathy, flexibility, and self-awareness – a world that celebrates the rich tapestry of human personality.

How is each MBTI as parents

  ENFJ as a parent: The ENFJ takes the role of fatherhood or motherhood seriously and considers it important to transfer values and principles from him to his children, and he will constantly work to be a good role model for them. The ENFJ believes that it is his responsibility to raise his children to be good. This characteristic, in addition to the strict value system that the ENFJ has set for himself, ultimately makes him see in his children’s eyes that he or she is a somewhat strict father or mother, with high expectations for what the children will achieve.
