EPISODE OVERVIEW
Joel and Antonia explore the common reasons people struggle to find their best-fit personality type. They break these into two core categories: sincere, curiosity-driven challenges and unconscious ego defenses or bypasses. Along the way, they unpack misconceptions about cognitive functions, the impact of trauma, family dynamics, self-knowledge gaps, and why type confusion often reflects deeper patterns of identity, self-permission, and psychological resistance.
