This week I’ll be providing some theories behind the popular scales of introversion and extravertion that have been prevalent on the internet and in real life for years. In my early teens, I hinged much of my personality on being an introvert (which was further reinforced by thinking I was...

Finding a fictional character who is explicitly stated (or at least heavily implied) to be autistic has always been a surprise for me, no matter how old I get. I grew up relating to a lot of characters who were not intended to be on the spectrum, but were nonetheless...
Falsettos is a 1992 musical about an unorthodox family living through the AIDs epidemic while exploring themes of gender roles, sexuality, and Jewish identity in New York City around the 1970’s/80s. The original musical was remastered for a Broadway run starting in 2016, which is the version I intend to...

I’ve only worked 2 jobs up until now, both of which were part-time and based in the retail sector. My second job offer came from a recommendation, but the first was handled through a cohort of workshops over zoom. The facilitators worked very hard at helping us with practice job...
Disco Elysium is a game I only recently got around to playing, despite it sitting at the bottom of my steam list since the beginning of 2022. There is an abundance of articles praising the art direction, incredible storytelling, and captivatingly realistic characters already, so I’d like to turn your...
The next theory I’d like to bring to the table is the Enneagram, which has a much more cohesively structured history than the cognitive functions. These two systems combine to provide a well-rounded understanding of your personality, since this system account for aspects such as motivations and relationships to the...
I don’t want this post to become concerningly long, so I will keep the preamble to a minimum. The first of two theories I’d like to illustrate is that of cognitive functions, and how they combine with the grant stack to form the system I follow. You’ve probably heard of...
