Are you an INFP? An ESTJ? Or maybe you’ve been told you’re a Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green.

These personality profiles are everywhere—workplaces, dating apps, trainings. But where did they come from? And are they helping us grow… or just boxing us in?

In this episode of Automatic Mouth, Alison traces it all back to Carl Jung. Jung introduced four ways people process the world: sensing, thinking, feeling, and intuition. Those ideas grew into MBTI and later colour-coded personality systems.

✨ In this conversation:

• Jung’s four functions, simplified

• How MBTI became the four-letter craze

• The rise of Red/Blue/Yellow/Green systems

• Why profiling tools are fascinating and flawed

• How to use them as springboards—not handcuffs


Because you’re not just four letters. You’re not just a colour. You’re a whole damn palette.
