The Captain and Michelle discuss the point, purpose, accuracy, and criticism of the Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator. They also share their results from other personality tests like the Human Metrics, the Big Five Personality Test, and have fun with the "What Inanimate Object Are You" test. This episode is about more than just the labels of INFJ or ENFP. It's about using information responsibly to encourage conversation and growth in our relationship with ourselves and our relationships with others.

Making and maintaining meaningful friendships is something that many HSPs worry about. Do we have enough friends? Why do people like us initially, but then get turned off by our intensity? In this episode, Michelle and The Captain tackle tough questions like these, as well as discuss how introversion, ADD, anxiety, depression, and perception can factor into the complexity of highly sensitive friendships. If you have ever struggled as an HSP with making and keeping friends, then you won't want to miss HSP SOS #28!

"Some highly sensitive children are fairly difficult–active, emotionally intense, demanding, and persistent–while others are calm, turned inward, and almost too easy to raise except when they are expected to join a group of children they do not know. But outspoken and fussy or reserved and obedient, all HSCs are sensitive to their emotional and physical environment" -Dr. Elaine Aron. If you are a parent of an HSC, or you were an HSC, you are well aware of the gifts and challenges associated with the trait of sensitivity. On this episode of HSP SOS, Michelle and The Captain talk with fellow HSP Melissa Schwartz. Melissa is a coach for parents of highly sensitive children, author, speaker, and co-creator of Leading Edge Parenting, not to mention just an enthusiastic advocate for HSPs internationally. It's HSP SOS #27 Highly Sensitive Children!

The Captain (ENFP) & Michelle (INFJ) welcome recently engaged Ross (INFJ) and Ashley (ENFP) onto the show to discuss ground rules for introverts & extroverts living together. It's a humorous look at the similarities in In/Ex couples even if the sexes are reversed. How being late for events will drive INFJs Michelle and Ross CRAZY, while ENFPs Ashley and The Captain just need "10 more minutes" of sleep in the morning. Lots of laughs on In/Ex #12!

Some HSPs struggle with the feeling that they just aren't enough. Fear of disappointing others, combined with self-doubt, can convince highly sensitive persons that friends and loved ones would be happier without them around. In this very intimate and personal episode of HSP SOS, Michelle puts The Captain on the spot and forces him to reconsider his own worth. If you ever find yourself feeling like you are too much, yet at the same time not enough, then please listen. There are many reasons that HSPs struggle the most with the people they love the most, but there are also many things we can do to put our lives and relationships back into perspective.
