Empathy & Personality Type (2019) | Cognitive Personality Theory

Why do different personalities relate to others in different ways? And why are certain types empathetic in some ways and not in others?

In this video I explore the four different styles of relation, and present the advantages and disadvantages of each specific method.

While it is possible to go through life using only one of these relation styles, this is far from optimal - some situations require one form over another, and any personality type can with training acquire each specific form of relation.

Empathy is not a rare trait, nor is it a weakness - through the relation of self to others we not only acquire a deeper understanding of the world around us, but also find and shape our place within it.

Empathy is strength.

Hi, I'm Harry, and I'm intensely passionate about personality typing and self-development - so much so that I have created my own Jung-inspired system, taking a more high-resolution look at the factors making up personality.

Through Cognitive Personality Theory I examine the underlying mechanisms behind cognition, and the means through which a single type can have limitless individual variation - I believe type itself is just a set of cognitive predispositions that can according to the needs of the situation be overcome.

I don't believe any type is limited in what they can achieve, but have noticed sensationalist attitudes and internet trends propogating a culture in which type-development is actively discouraged in favour of conforming to simplistic archetypes. Through CPT I hope to dispel various myths and oversimplifications of what constitutes personality type, and along the way encourage a healthier attitude towards type that allows a person to become not who they are told they are, but rather who they want to be.
