Abnormal Psychology Series

Introducing a new series…

We’d like to introduce a new series: Abnormal Psychology. This is a wide-ranging field that is best summarized by the study of unusual patterns of thoughts, behaviors and emotions. While we have discussed specific, common issues such as cognitive distortions, abnormal psychology is much more clinical and all-encompassing in nature.

However, don’t let that clinical word scare you. We do our best to avoid jargon so we can reach out and effectively teach psychology. And don’t let abnormal bother you either. While referred to as abnormal psychology, it is simply the theory that clinical psychology – the field dealing with professional treatment of mental health – is built upon.

Keep an eye out for our article introducing the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Health Disorders, the “go to” book for mental health professionals.

Social Media Statistics Among MBTI Types

Posted on August 16, 2012 11:56 pm by cthinker Comment

Researchers at CPP Inc. have compiled usage statistics of social media among the various MBTI types. The infographic includes Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

I find it interesting, albeit perhaps not that surprising, that iNtuitors have a larger percentage of usage among social media, particularly Twitter – but it makes sense when you consider iNtuition seeks patterns and trends which are quite common on social media websites.

Myers-Briggs: Cognitive Functions

Posted on July 27, 2012 3:11 pm by cthinker 2 Comments

In the last article, we covered the history and basic structure of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. When attempting to apply the MBTI to yourself or others, it’s useful to have an understanding of how these functions are ordered. Therefore, in this post I’m going to cover the MBTI’s hierarchy of cognitive processes. Continue reading → Post ID 673

An Introduction to Myers-Briggs

Learning to understand ourselves and others is a big part of life, and it can be hard work. No matter what our undertaking in life is, we must have the appropriate tools to work with. Fortunately for us, there is a psychological tool that allows us to do exactly that.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator — ‘MBTI’ for short — is used to describe a person’s overall personality and life preferences. It tries to describe how people gather and process information. It should be noted that given the incredibly complex and unique nature of individuals, Myers-Briggs is not the sole means of portraying a person’s identity. Each personality type has their own strengths and weaknesses, but all types are considered equal. So…what exactly is it, then? Well… Continue reading → Post ID 673
