Control + Alt + Delete

Regaining Balance with Insights from MBTI® Type Concepts

Written by Patrick L. Kerwin, MBTI® Master Practitioner

When your computer is acting all out of whack and nothing you do fixes it, there is one surefire solution: Control + Alt + Delete. Knowing how and when to use this combination of keys can help us take a frustrating situation and return it to normal. The same is true of our personality. When we’re stressed out, it helps to know what to do and when to get back to normal.

ISTJ and ISFJ:
Take lots of quiet time to reflect. Prioritize what needs to be done, and accomplish a task that is easy for you to complete.

INTJ and INFJ:
Do something by yourself that engages your senses, like working outside, reading a book, watching a movie, or doing a craft.

ISTP and INTP:
Take time away from the people or situation causing the stress. Get some alone time.

ISFP and INFP:
Get out in nature, or do another activity that relaxes you. Spend some alone time reflecting or meditating.

ESTP and ESFP:
Do an activity you like that distracts you from the stressor. Figure out what needs to be done to address the stressor, and get started on doing it.

ENFP and ENTP:
Get some space to reflect and refocus. Talk to a close friend.

ESTJ and ENTJ:
Talk it out with a trusted friend. Engage in physical activity. Take some time alone to think of a new approach to the stressor.

ESFJ and ENFJ:
Talk to someone who will be supportive. Take some time alone to reflect on the stressor, and to find some other ways to address it.

And this one applies to all personality types: Don’t be too hard on yourself. Everyone has out-of-character stress reactions, and you’ll eventually get yourself back to normal. It might take some time, but you’ll get there!
