How to Make Good Decisions While Still Being You: Part 1 – Optimism, Pessimism and What We Do About It

September 12, 2013 / Calise Sellers

(Miss the Intro? Here’s why not everyone makes decisions in the same way.) In order to understand how people make good decisions, we need to explore *why* they make the decisions they do. Namely, *why* do the different types have the specializations and focuses they do; how do each of us see the world and […]

The People of Stranger Things

July 13, 2018 / Calise Sellers

{Dunda dun da… Babum babum bababum bumbabumba bababumbaba bumbum} The music starts and red lights appear in darkness, angles slowly revealing flickering words, and my heart grows fluttery. This is my best description of an intro that I refuse to skip unless under duress. Because it gives me a sense of the ride I’m starting […]

The Four Types of Love

May 4, 2017 / Calise Sellers

“What is love?” is a question that has been asked throughout the ages, by philosophers, poets, and Haddaway–insert obligatory head tip here. While that is a perfectly valid question, and you guys know how heart-eyes we are for proper definitions around here, I think instead today we’ll ask the ever so aLBoP question, “How can […]

Type Specializations: What Makes My Type Special?

February 12, 2014 / Calise Sellers

There’s an age-old outlook, put blatantly by Syndrome of The Incredibles in his Moriarty Fear, that if everyone is special, then *no one* will be. To this longstanding catch-22, I offer the following rebuttal: What if everyone is special in a way that is both utterly unique and utterly essential? What if, like colors, genders […]

What Do All These Letters Mean Anyway?

January 7, 2014 / Calise Sellers

So, once upon a time, you stumbled upon a really cool website. It had interesting pictures combining all your favorite characters in ways you weren’t sure made sense, but it was also pretty cool to read, even if the girl who wrote it liked to use lame phrases like “Rock-awesome,” used too many ellipses and […]

Comment Response: Of INFJs, Principles of Typing and Characters that POP

November 9, 2013 / Calise Sellers

The other day, I got a fantastic comment on Type Heroes: INFJ – The Paladin by a cool INFJ named Match. In addition to comments about liking the blog in general, he brought up some great questions about why I typed some of the characters in the INFJ collage the way I did. Because it […]

The Cognition Process in Stick Figures

October 26, 2013 / Calise Sellers

Though I write often about cognition patterns and how thought processes differ between each of the sixteen types, I feel like I haven’t really gotten across in full what I mean. And is there any way better to get across concepts simply and efficiently than pictures? I think there is not. Now, I can’t make […]

How to Make Good Decisions While Still Being You: Intro

September 12, 2013 / Calise Sellers

My second semester of college, I needed a class that was a few more credit hours but nothing I looked at seemed quite right. I was taking everything I could that semester for the major I wanted (probably the eighth major I’d settled on) and I would have been happy to just focus on classes […]

T-Shirts! Plus Blog Updates

June 9, 2013 / Calise Sellers

Hello there! I hope you’re enjoying A Little Bit of Personality so far 🙂 I have so much I want to post and only so many hours in a day… and, even more challenging, brain power. But there’s still 14 Type Heroes to come (/faint); and, because my little perceiver brain just can’t work a […]
