We’re all really stressed out as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. But our personalities play a vital role in the things that stress us – and our coping strategies. Though this episode focuses on #ENFP and #INTJ types, strategies for building greater self-awareness – which is applicable to all personality types in the midst of the COVID19 lockdown – are discussed.

Edythe and David discuss INFP ENFP friendship and relationships

This relationship pairing is almost surely a harmonious one! Both INFP and ENFP types enjoy discussing possibilities, ideas, and global issues. Conversations may revolve around future hopes and dreams of each person, and the pairing as a couple. They both tend to be altruistic and attuned to each other’s’ needs. Most likely, they’re each attracted to the other’s energy level. So what could go wrong in this relationship? Tune in to hear what Edythe and David have to say.

One of the most frustrating situations we can encounter is someone telling us why we shouldn’t feel a certain way. Your feelings are your feelings. Whether or not they stem from real or perceived beliefs and truths, we all have them, and we can’t escape them. Feelings drive our behavior. Feelings can work for us, or against us. And we can choose not to judge them, but accept them for what they are.

As much as Zoom and other platforms have kept us working and communicating during the Coronavirus pandemic, there are still challenges - much like in the real world. Expectations of showing yourself on screen when your hair is a mess, strategically placing your camera so it doesn’t show your dirty laundry in the corner, and keeping yourself muted when you’re not sure who else is on the call or what the expectation is are just a few challenges we all face in virtual communication. Introverted types may feel these privacy challenges more acutely. Whether you’re a regular Zoom participant or host, this episode will provide tips for keeping everyone engaged.

As social distancing remains in effect, we’re moving from one video call to another. We all feel the disruption – regardless of our personality type, but the effects may show up differently for different Myers-Briggs types. How we manage our fatigue (or anxiety) will differ too, as Edythe and David discuss in this episode.

Edythe and David invite you to tune in and hear how the MBTI may – or may not – factor into our exercise of choice.
Personality is a complicated subject. Although the Myers-Briggs measures personality on a 4 dichotomy scale, what really makes you tick is completely individual. This includes what type of exercise you prefer. Interestingly enough, the Myers-Briggs Company, who are the exclusive publishers of the Myers-Briggs assessment, did a study in 2018 on precisely this topic.
