    How about sub-types as a way of simply recognising different ways types show up? Doesn’t mean they are set in stone.

    One thing that disappointed me in this regard was how despite having explained briefly in your book about how some people may be more fixated on the fixation of their tertiary or even inferior function than that of their dominant, you then appeared to abandon this idea in your podcasts, e.g. saying ‘if you’re an EP, you’re fixated on freedom’. It wasn’t the same thing as loops (albeit I’m sure there is some overlap), and I wanted to know more about it and whether this was why I have trouble seeing myself as INFP and even consider ISTJ sometimes.

    I’m tempted to think that flitting between INFP and ISTJ might mean there is a loop ‘hole’ in the system.

    I think it almost doesn’t matter how you teach a personality typology, it will alienate some people simply because its mass-produced and it can’t speak to everyone. This could possibly be more a problem of ‘framing’ or language-used than core-principles, but you are going to alienate some people simply because they don’t feel you’ve spoken to them and their experience. This is exactly how I’ve felt with every myers-briggs or JCF theorist I’ve ever tried to follow.

    No one is obliged to shoe-horn themselves to the nearest fitting personality category simply because the others fit worse, and I don’t even think this is a particularly good idea. This is one reason for people keeping on flaying it out.

    I also don’t think there is any particular reason to worship the John Beebe model, it’s not even like Jung specified an ordering of functions. I don’t think the so called 8th function is generally the worst or most feeble function – I think this is much more like to be the so-called 7th function. Something which a couple of reasonably-sane theorists I’ve observed on youtube have also said, not that this proves anything.
