As an Fe-blind INTJ I started looking deeper into MBTI (also had a look at DISC) when I needed to understand the department heads at work better. I`ve been running the lab for close to 2 decades so my analysis has been towards things rather than people. So far MBTI has been almost scarily effective/functional, the model is pretty reliable even if it can be a long way to correctly type or approximate -very surprised since my opinion of psychology used to be kind of low. Finally having the tools to understand how people see the world and make decitions differently really changed a lot for me.

As an INTJ with an INFJ boss, it is fascinating how very alike yet completely different we are. 🔥❄

(INTJ) me and my ENTJ (achiever) colleague will sometimes chat after meetings and point out to each other all the shortcommings by lack of perspective/efficiency/goals of everybody else 😂

Very interesting about 4th function Te and wanting status. My brother is ISFP and I first thought the very noticeable status thing was him being the older brother and our ESTJ father rubbing off more on him.

INTJ engineer and nerd here naturally with many INTP colleagues and friends. One thing I just thought of is that they all flash these huge grinning smiles quite often.. probably more than most other types - anyone else noticed that? Is it a thing like the INTJ death glare? 😂

Interesting, I (INTJ) have several ISTP and INTP friends, but one of them I have been struggling to type past IXTP. This video and the INTP one helped, he is an INTP with a lot of practical/mechanical insight from growing up on a farm thus Ne/Si coming off as Se at times. Also has that good debater thing so was leaning ENTP for a while too.. complex things us humans.

It is as though this type has no place outside of some sort of organizational environment. Which of course would not be possible.

That`s very interesting about INTJ (me) -as I have recently re-invented myself again (another piece found) and ditched some unhealthy coping mechanisms after the pain of "leveling up"... in short I have been engaging in way too much Si rather than fully utilizing my Ni. One added axiom for me is that Si is just neccecary un-intelligence (simplification like all models/scheduling of course)

Interesting. As an INTJ (least extroverted on your scale) who has worked to improve my diet, learned to enjoy small talk and focused on activating my Se "reverse stack" I am certainly a lot more happy these days after struggling a lot with depression before 😁 All my functions SING now, except I guess Fe who is still under tight supervision 🤣

(INTJ) After not getting out too much most of my life I learned to embrace small talk and chaos in my 40s, and it changed everything. I may be an introverted lab rat (and gym rat) but I am also drawn to people because I know I need to bounce my ten billion ideas(simulation hypotheses) off SOMETHING in order to stay a just a little grounded. Also I hear that INTJs "conserve their energy" and have low battery etc, not the case with me as I have a fusion reactor lol. Mabe this is the case with INTJs who did a lot of physical stuff in their life like Arnold Schwarznegger?

Here's what I've learned over the past 28 years as an ENFP: ENF's strong point is that we are chaotic social butterflies who glue people together and entertain people like being with us and being hosted by us. But on the other hand, the negative side is that we are also energy vampires who consume the energy of others to transfer it to ourselves. And, because of our extroversion, we need socializing to recover and recharge our batteries, so that isolation, loneliness and solitude don't wear us out and exhaust us. Also, the ENFP gets more done in the company of other people than when alone, some consider the lonely ENFP to be lazy and distracted. In addition, many companies have come to the conclusion that the modern world no longer needs ENFP employees because we are not efficient, productive, systematic, disciplined and obedient enough and with that reasoning we get rejections for job applications (on the other hand, this may also be due to the fact that the use of personality tests in screening job applicants is new in Finland and companies do not know what to do with ENFP employees because we don't fit into the image/idea of "a classic employee who works like a mindless robot and goes home when the work is done" but we choose to socialize and make friends at workplaces, which is most often forbidden in the unwritten rules). But maybe in the future we will be able to create a world and work life that is more suitable and more permissive for us ENFPs as well so there is no reason to give up hope either. And by the way, thanks for this video.

Day 345 of requesting that the Function diagram be corrected for the secondary shadow axis from 3-7 to 6-7 😅. Great content as always 👍.

Whats your mbti?

In your previous video about candace owens you mentioned a typical extj trait is over confidence and lack of self doubt. What function is this caused by? I, infp ,have noticed that I don't come across confident all the time when speaking. Looking to improve on this. Your response would be appreciated

INTJ here, thank you for your time into research, the world is self-consumed, and true care lies in the actions and help, for if we live by emotional reaction we are silly and do things without consideration, it's a trap of the heart, I scare people with my neutral face and spontaneous nature that I plan, my fabric of being is moved by what I think and set all efforts to, I have accomplished many tasks that are unnatural because I wanted to, I am morally deep and hate but understand ignorance that is chosen, for the reality is painful, but it presents the light that we as people have the power to change it.

Is not that it is hard to start things, it is just that when you look at the big picture and pre analyse how something will pan up, most things are not worthy of starting because the chance of succeding is extremely low. Is not that they don't care about others' feeling, it is an impossible waste energy and invasion of privacy to try to figure out others. I don't think INTJ want to control things, it is just that we are aware of what is under our control and what is not. It is illogical to be concerned with what is out of one's control.

I hope you make one of INFJ !!

Not a jab at you but for anyone who doesn't know/understand: the "16 personality types" is literally just new age astrology :) have fun w it if thats what yall are doing! But i feel my brain go numb when I hear "oh we'll be good/bad friends bc you're ENFP teehee!"

I'd love to see you're take on isfj

INTJ here, you are accurate.

INTJ/INFJ... the test cannot make up it's mind.... Thats pretty close, tho never forget than everything is on a sliding scale. It's the nauce which makes us all Beautiful :)

Introverted focus on general approach to life, therefore an introverted dominant funcion; greatly prioritizes internal values over communal ones (Fi > Fe); feeling over thinking (Fi > Te on that axis); mentions a lot of meaningful experiences, whether good or bad, and how that affected her (Si > Se). Despite a low prevalence of positivity, indulges in imaginary scenarios, but indicates that usage on self-reflection rather than analyzing others' motivations, so Ne > Ni; a common issue, which doesn't seem to be her case or is already controlled, is the tertiary loop, which would make her simulations catastrophic and self-deprecating. Motivation: fluctuating and working on routine and concrete stability (low Si), as opposed to ISTJ's necessary routine, ritualism and predictability (Si-dom). INFJ X INFP: Ni-Fe uses intuition to assess people's traits and behavior in order to draw conclusions on social prognostics: being people-oriented, know how they operate and how to direct them and themselves. Fi-Ne, in the other hand, uses intuition to gather information on the world and how it resonates with their own value set. Indirect speech pattern, confrontational when backed against the wall or absolutely necessary, indicating low Te; "my feelings" over "my thoughts", Te > Ti. Therefore, Fi-Ne-Si-Te - Joanna is an INFP. My two cents as an INTJ.

good job

Please complete this series. It's intriguing 😊

INFPs are such sweethearts. We get along well as an INTJ.

I agree absolutely with your emphasis on the discrepancy of how deep INTJ emotional life is vs. Their stereotypical perception of being cold and distant. I watched a few of these videos and you got it absolutely right 👍 Yes, INTJs have a complex and vivid emotional making. It is often a source of deep suffering, or opposite, absolute elation. Either way it's common for us to be overwhelmed by emotions. That is why a common strategy is distancing and emotional suppression, its a survival mechanism for young INTJ. The Fi function is a source of a lot distress earlier in life. It is also where we can get stuck in a negative loop of self doubt, regret, self pity. Supressing emotions or repression of memory, also known as PTSD,impairs cognitive ability as it is paired with Ni. I do understand myself enough now to confirm that utilising Se function is a key to strike a healthy balance. It might be Friedrich Nietzsche's famous walks, or Isaac Newton's plunge out to contemplate in nature. It can also be a physical activity that strengthen connection between body and mind. Either way, this is very volatile personality type that is prone to being unhealthy. Therefore we should remember to think of ourselves as the project numero uno, managing this mess is no easy task at first.😂. Mature INTJ will have a understanding of how to manage emotional response, will understand and have a healthy emotional inner workings.

I'm intj. Nothing else to say. If you wanna know more, well, just ask.😊

As an INFJ, because we tend to think too deeply about the future and all the possibilities that can happen, can you make a video on which careers suit INFJs the most? Its a bit of a struggle to find something that really calls to me..

INTJ here...I really loved this.

Great job as always ❤

Love ya :)

and here i am looking for ISFJ....

Apparently I'm INTJ. I feel that as I've gotten older I've outgrown those insecurities, and have learned my own worth. But still forvever seeking to improve myself from where I am. I was nodding my head with most of what you said. The emotional thing particularly hit, as I often say "I barely understand my own let emotions, how am I supposed to understand anyone elses?". Well done.

Thanks for this concise and clear explanation! ❤ Can you do ENFPs next?

Love this ❤

yeah, sometimes we dont understand what is wrong to say in some situations, i dont mean saying something bad, its just different

gotta say somethings are so normal to us and so fun for others, sometimes i said something in my friends group and they die of laghing and i see them and wonder.

Your content is amazing. I am sure you will gain more traction if you continue with the same passion and attitude 👍. Maybe what's holding your channel from growing is the CZcams algorithm tagging your content wrongly as "for kids" after all 🤔.

One more thing, I love your content and wanted to check the bell to get all the notifications but couldn't. Your content is marked as "for kids"😅. You might want to check that 🤔.

2:43 shouldn't the shadow axes be 5-8 and 6-7?

So I have a question!. What's the deal with lSFJ's and ESFJ's? They are somewhat making the chart at 0:53 hard to understand 🤔. All other J's are directors except for them !!!!!! Why, I need answers 😅.

If so, I'm every type

INTJ here. spot on. Was often called uptight without humour plus with the resting bitch face 😂 dark humour is not something everyone appreciates. It is true that we might be sitting still but inside I am already unravelling the complexities of life...the spiderweb is something not to be afraid of...it is something that i enjoy going through bec it is from the difficulties that growth and learning can be achieve proficiently. The interplay of psychology, philosophy and reality is soooooo fun but to others who cannot comprehend or not on the same wavelength of growth in that aspect...an INTJ is uptight, calculated and indifferent.

I think all INTJs are autistic, but not all autistic people are INTJ 😅.

spot on!!! i love this ty!!!!!!!!!

Tbh whenever I watch videos of comparing INFJs to another type, INFJ and ESFJ are the ones that come close, I do rely on the reaction of others, and I'm always overthinking my emotional self-worth, I can either be very blunt or apprehensive because I worry that I might hurt people, and I put people's mental health above my own, I'm the one who will make sure those I care for are doing okay and worry for them, but I suppress my own emotional wounds

Just one correction, Infjs are supposed to take risks as healthy as well(high Ni). So it's more like they take risks that they know have bad consequences but the rage takes over to self destruct.
