Hi!
This is one man's story how obsessing about theories like Jung's, Briggs and Augustinavičiūtės makes one sick.
I was firstly introduced to personality theories in my 11th school year and I was instantly interested. Reading much of the material in the net and books I began to develop my own views about people close to me. Somebody was introverted, somebody extroverted and somebody had some denial etc. I believed what I came up with.
I took a mission to learn to type for the ultimate goal of typing myself and becoming the perfect human due knowing all my defects through model. Once you know all your weaknesses you can just be aware of them and everything is perfect.
It does not work like that.
In my 3rd uni year i went for a first time to psychiatric hospital due undefined psychosis. I had typed everyone around me and felt like I had to act like their dual or they would not like me as much as they could.
I had a outbreak in my dad's house when I was trying to explain the theory to him through chess game. I had this feeling that he knew all my thoughts, so I had to cheat.
Taking his king with an illegal move I won the game and took control. I knew I was now going to be taken aboard to work for a robotic company.
I ended up in psychiatric ward. I was lively guy back then and was instantly curing other patients with the all capable theory I had knowledge about. I did this on multiple occasions on my visits to hospital. One guy was INTP and just needed to boost his extroverted feeling function and all would have gotten better. I should act like my brother who was ESFP in order to dualize the INTP. Somebody was ISFP and she was for that reason in need of developing his TE, which she later did through posting her thoughts to fb. She had to let her anima go.
With the 2nd visit to ward I came up with an idea that everything in universe is made in such a way, that if you just keep acting like your true type then you will life the perfect life. So you need to avoid using functions that are not in your main stack: I as an INFJ need to avoid using si, which I had defined controlling my body knowingly or 'posing' or being in an attention physically. So I was avoiding this certain 'using of si function' and instead used my hero function NI.
Somewhere after the third visit I came up with ideas, that I should not use FE function offensively, because it was my defensive function. I could not say hello to somebody, if it was not done in a defensive manner. I was very sure that I had figured life out and just following through the model I would become the perfect INFJ and life would go perfectly. It was ok to not know wtf I was doing since extroverted thinking was my 7th function anyway and I needed just follow intuition, which would bring me to answers without me ever consciously trying.
All was connected through me as I saw large net of human relations just like INFJ should and I knew everything was because of my ability to imagine what INFJs could imagine.
