Slippery Slopes

Written by Patrick L. Kerwin, MBTI® Master Practitioner

Sometimes, despite your best efforts to keep yourself chill for the holidays, at work, family reunions, etc., you can feel yourself going down that slippery slope of being totally stressed out. One of the ways you know you’re headed in that direction is when you start “overdoing” your personality type. And every type has its own “special” way of doing that! Find yours below, and watch for those signs…


ISTJ and ISFJ: Obsessing about details
INTJ and INFJ: Over-swirling about connections and possibilities
ISTP and INTP: Over-focusing on finding logical conclusions
ISFP and INFP: Over-analyzing how you’re feeling

ESTP and ESFP: Being obsessively active
ENFP and ENTP: Bouncing from one possibility to another to another
ESTJ and ENTJ: Overly-controlling situations and people
ESFJ and ENFJ: Over-focusing on creating harmony and pleasing others

Often just recognizing that you’re overdoing it is enough to get you off of that slippery slope!
