  This is so cool!!! I’m an ENTP and have been doing the family genealogy (including my wife’s) and holding onto old photos from all sides of the family for over 20 years. This is something that comes in spurts for me, I can go for a couple months searching for records and images and stories and then 5 months go by with no desire to be involved in it. I have found it’s best to trust that flow, each time I step away and come back a dead end that was present when I stepped away magically gets resolved by the time I come back. I do find it strange my family members for the most part are not at all interested in the family lore, they might listen for a few minutes, but they don’t care about names or family lines…they seem to bore easily with it! I love my 3 yo can interact with my driver, I think that’s why genealogy seems like a flow state for me. The driver is totally excited about exploring connections and “finding” things and the 3 year old is super pleased it’s found something to hold onto… Love your podcast and the work you all do, thank you taking the time!!

  ENFP here and have learned more about myself from personality hacker in the last few weeks than the last 28 years of my life!

  I’m wondering if our deep attachment to memories and appreciation for the past is somehow connected to our authenticity/internal sensing. There is something within us (our deep emotions) that connect us to the human collective, thus providing us our genuine empathy, understanding of the duality of human nature and natural charisma. Memories, such as the photo albums, help us tap into that human collective in a very different, but just as important, way. We can bring out subconscious emotions/moods/hope for the future in others because we are somehow inherently tuned into this collective. The responsibility we feel to preserve the past may be to continue learn from it and identify patterns so we can relate to future emotions at that much deeper and closer to the human collective level. Perhaps the ‘burden’ is our responsibility to use our super power to find the patterns of resilience within our families to help future generations. Or, diving deep into the past that others have forgotten may simply feel like a new adventure we haven’t explored yet ;-) Who knows but just some food for thought!

  Thanks for all you do,

  I grew up on a farm in Alabama that my great-grandfather bought and built and raised twelve children on. So, I had a very strong sense of my history instilled into me. That allowed me (an ENFP) to venture out into the world—my first real career was as a long-haul truck driver. I always thought of myself as a kite blowing on the wind with a very long string attached to my family’s farm.

  In my 20s, my father died unexpectedly and after a couple years my mother sold the farm. It felt to me like someone took a pair of scissors and cut the string tethering me to my identity. Now, I have to write down my memories and hold onto keepsakes to help me maintain my sense of being and purpose. The physical totems represent where I came from and who I am at my core.

  When you have Exploration as your dominant process and spend so much of your time and energy imagining possibilities for who you could be, you need an anchor to an identity to remember who you are.

  Wow, I think that those albumes are awesome and beautifull, I kind of admire your grandma, but the moment I think to review all of them makes me bored. Also, how do you choose?! I feel like the album toghether means something, it, itself represents the history of someone that dedicated a lot of time to something she thought was important, i would feel wrong tearing it apart, but maybe it is my inferior Si
  Talking…
  Interesting.
  Entp here ?
