In MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator), each of the 16 personalities has a blind spot. For those familiar with the cognitive functions of the personality types, it is the seventh cognitive function aka the “trickster” or “PoLR”. This is the aspect that your mind pays least attention to and thus has the lowest awareness, hence “blind”. Recently, I have seen several examples of how people reframe this unawareness as an inner strength that they possess. In fact, they brag about how they don’t need it. Below is a list of each of the MBTI 16 personalities’ blind spot and how they use it as a strength.
Understanding our blind spots is key not only to self-awareness but in understanding that others process information in a totally different way than we do. If we have opposite blind spots, it can seem like we can’t understand each other’s perspectives. Having this knowledge can help us build healthier relationships through empathy for the other’s perspective.
