My most blundering part of my personality is probably the sensate side, but I still am not sure if it's an I or an E.

The idea of a singular 'shadow side' is one of the things I keep thinking that Jung must have been misinterpreted about. Working with Archetypes, each of them has their own unique shadow properties, and some of those shadow properties can actually be harnessed to provide positive effects.

I think the MB and its variants can help us understand a bit about our own 'hidden' agendas and motivators and why some things resonate with us more than others. But, IMHO, when we really start exploring our principal archetypes and what areas of 'life' call forth a greater response from one or more of them, we can really dig deeper into our own personal inner truths and paths.
