Improving Relationships Through Understanding Personality Types

Hey there, everyone! Have you ever thought about how you could make your relationships with the people you care about even better? One thing that has really helped me is understanding different personality types. But sometimes, words like "extrovert" and "introvert" can feel a bit limiting. So, I wanted to introduce you to a new way of looking at things - by exploring the idea of "objective" and "subjective."

People with an Objective First function: Extroverts

Objective people, or extroverts, usually focus on the world outside of themselves. They need to be around others to use their main way of thinking. Since their first function process is about what's "objective," they need other input to find out what's really objective. This is typically seen as extroversion. This can be seen as wanting to “be around people,” but finding objectivity can also be through reading books or watching videos. So an “extroverted” person is looking for objectivity in the world around them.

People with a Subjective Dominant Function: Introverts

On the other hand, subjective people, or introverts, have an inward-focused first function process. They need to process information internally, before engaging with objective people. This means they don't need to be around others as much to use their main way of thinking. This is typically seen as introversion.

Embracing Different Ways of Thinking

We can all do well in many situations, no matter our personality type. By learning about these different ways of thinking, we can build stronger relationships, create places where everyone can do their best, and appreciate the amazing designs that God created. Remember, God gave you your personality as a gift. He created you; you are not a mistake.
