I’m Joseph Lee—a Typology Enthusiast!

Whether you're aiming to improve your relationships, embark on a journey of personal growth, or simply curious to dive into the world of personality types, you've come to the right place!

In Joseph’s Journals, I explore how understanding personality can help us connect with others, build empathy, and recognize our own blind spots so we can change for the better.

Typology systems can sometimes feel complicated, but I’ll break things down into simple, relatable insights you can apply in your everyday life. I’ll also share some personal experiences, hoping they resonate and remind you that you’re not alone on this journey.

Dive in, and let’s start making sense of personality together!

Personal-ity Story

I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves and others on a deeper level. Learning about personality has completely changed my perspective, and it’s a journey I’m excited to share with you.

I’m an ESTJ, a 3w2, an ESTj (LSE), a Guardian, and an STLB—so as you can see, I’ve explored quite a few personality systems! Before learning about typology, I never noticed my own patterns. I just knew that I tended to be straightforward and could be a bit stubborn.

But when a friend introduced me to typology, it felt like an awareness switch flipped in my mind. It was like reading a personal biography someone had secretly written about me. I was proud to see myself as an effective and organized person, but it also forced me to confront my struggle with chaos and my difficulty with emotions.

Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. I became hyper-aware of my behaviors, and everything I did seemed to confirm those insights. It was a wake-up call, and I began taking steps to grow—whether that meant throwing myself into unpredictable situations or opening up to friends about my feelings.

This journey led me to Enneagram, where I learned I’m a 3w2—a high achiever with a deep-seated fear of being “not enough” and a real need for self-acceptance. From there, I explored other systems—Keirsey, Socionics, and most recently, Personality Ninja, which introduced me to a model with 32 types instead of the usual 16.

As I shared these insights with friends, I noticed some people just didn’t resonate with any one type from the original 16. But Personality Ninja’s expanded 32-type framework brought the clarity they needed. It’s also offered a fresh, detailed take on cognitive functions, which I’ll be exploring more of this here on my blog.

Since personality insights have helped me so much, I want to share what I’ve learned, helping others see themselves in new, meaningful ways. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
