Hi, I’m Marc Carson. I’m a personality type expert based in northern California.

Aside from owning a website development business for over 15 years, I run Marc Carson Coaching, where I specialize in coaching tech professionals, high-performers, and business owners.

About This Blog

“You. You are interesting.” —A fan on Reddit

This is my casual side-blog, where I write about personality type theory, typology, and type development for INTJs. I focus mainly on the INTJ personality type, though a lot of people of various types visit to learn about their INTJ friends and family members.

All types are welcome here, and I don’t believe that any personality type is better than the others.

Over the years I have authored a collection of hundreds of useful mental models, many of which I share right on this blog.

I am professionally certified in the assessment of psychological type and administration of restricted psychometric instruments, and am a member of APTi. I have given presentations on personality type to large and small audiences.

Buy me a coffee

In 2020 I dedicated a blog award to Scott, the first person who bought me a coffee. Long may the name Scott be reverenced among INTJs.

And I don’t know about reverenced, but this blog has certainly been referenced by INTJs the world around, from Canada to Iran to Sierra Leone. This includes individuals who find themselves in really difficult situations. If you like the blog, or if it has been helpful to you, or if you like that others can come here and read things that help them feel stronger, or better about who they can become, feel free to buy me a coffee. I plan to keep things going here, and your support is much appreciated.

My Type Journey

The study of personality type has transformed me, literally and figuratively. I lost 100 pounds, over 35% of my body weight, by applying the principles I learned during my study of psychological type.

After reaching a healthy weight for the first time in my adult life, I realized a new level of happiness created by deep psychological change, rather than weight loss alone. From that time forward, I began to apply what I learned to other areas of my life. The result has been a fascinating journey toward the discovery and application of my strengths.
