The camera operator isn’t trying to drive me crazy, they just see the world in a different way.
Gabby Mehler 😂
Omg 😂😂
That comment is so good that I want to frame it and hang in my wall
Gold
I hadn't noticed but now is driving me crazy!
I'm an ENTP, before I stumbled upon MBTI I though I was the laziest, most irresponsible human on Earth. I still am, but at least I've got my type to blame for it.
Whoa, I'm an ENTP as well, and I just figured I'll be the next Steve Jobs and it's all gonna be okay.
Kasia Mleczarska miło jest spotkać inną Polkę w tym zakamarku internetu :D
INTP here. You guys might beat us at being irresponsible, but we definitely beat you at being lazy.
+Kasia Mleczarska But Steve Jobs had to be ENTJ for a while before we all got into Apple...
+DexM47 LOL. ~ INFP Fellow Sloth. Wazzup. I would say the same thing about my type and ENFP's.
INTJ here. I once got INFJ while on my period, it made me cry.
Haha welcome back to INTJ
sis if that ain't relatable
I laughed so hard 😂
INTP here, cried today and literally thought my type changed even though i know it can't
HAHAHA that sounds familiar
I'm infj, before the test I thought I was alien.
I'm an INTJ, but I felt the same way
Same, if we are not aliens, probably others are. lol
I'm an INFP and I believe in aliens ;D
INFJ, felt like an outsider all my life but I "played the game of life" so I won't look like an weirdo all the time .
That's interesting. I'm an INFJ as well, but I've never really felt that way. Personally I know about six other INFx's so I never felt super ostracized or anything, and they aren't even my close friends. Pretty much all of my close friends are extroverts, so I can just use up all my socializing energy around them, then go be by myself, lol.
female INTJ here, I thought I was crazy before MBTI. Bad times. Now I jsut realize I'm surrounded by extraverts, sensors and feelers practically ALL the time.
Same!
I'm an INFP. My boss asked me if I am autistic because I don't respond well to change ;D
Bendik Hjaltason - LOL
INTJ male here. Is there a support group for INTJs somewhere? lol
no further west ENTJ here. Introverted intuitives unite!
As an INFP it's interesting to hear my exact opposite talk. :p
You're an INFP? I'm familiar with your extroverted and popular personality, the ENFP. How are you different in your cognitive function stack?
@@wynstansmom829 Infp has Fi,ne,si,te while Enfp has Ne, fi,te,si
Wait is that me I’m an ENFP
I swear... every MBTI video I see has an INFP somewhere in the top comments 😂😂 (Hello fellow INFP :))
@@wynstansmom829 INFP & ENFP are quite similar. From what I understand the difference is that I, as an INFP, lead with introverted feeling (Fi), while ENFP's lead with extroverted intuition (Ne). This causes INFP to be mainly focussed on their internal world (mostly feelings, values, opinions ect) while ENFP are focussed on the external world (mainly possibilities, different options). I'd say an ENFP is the epitome of openmindedness and creative possibilities.
Now, they still are very similar, because our auxilary function is the others' primary function: INFP has extroverted intuition (Ne) while ENFP has introverted feeling (Fi).
ENFP & INFP have the same approach to their inner world and the same way of connecting to the external world. The main difference is what they focus on mostly. Hope that helps. :)
I'm an INFJ, and before finding MBTI I thought that I was "different" and that I didn't belong anywhere, that I was broken and had a fundamental piece missing from me... MBTI has changed my life forever. I now understand that I'm not alone in my feelings, and am at peace with who I am.
Brayden, my hubby is an INFJ too! I'm an INFP.
so true though i still have a feeling of not fitting in
Consider INFP
I just found out I'm an INFP too :)
We're a rare breed Brayden
Female INTJ here. I seriously thought something was wrong with me until I stumbled across MBTI.
Now we need a part two to get the functions explained as well!
Gladzet yup!
exactly you can't type people by just going "I tHiNk He'S a SeNsOr"
The functions are pretty irrelevant. They are arbitrary combinations of the dimensions and mostly relate to how "masculine" or "feminine" a type seems.
@@thewiseturtle What? I don't think that's right. It has to do with distinguishing the way your mind operates in a more specific way. I found it to be much more convincing as it didn't really match with stereotypes, it was more the natural way your personality comes out.
The official MBTI book, Gifts Differing, basically dismisses the "functions" as not important, and my own research has shown that they are pretty arbitrary. The actual MBTI is focused on what I see as the four primary regions of the brain, as they evolved in humans, with the preferences in each dimension being controlled by natural (genetic) hormone levels in that region.
Introvert/Extravert is low/high levels of dopamine in the motor cortex
Sensing/iNtuiting is low/high levels of estrogen in the limbic system
Feeling/Thinking is low/high levels of testosterone in the neocortex
Judging/Perceiving is low/high levels of serotonin in the prefrontal cortex
And the four dimensions cover the four perspectives that we humans can potentially model reality in: first person (me), second person (you), third person (our larger group/environment), and fourth person (the whole universe).
Jean is not only amazingly brilliant, but she's a thoughtful, kind person as well. Great work.
i work with a freebie tested ESTJ that seems a lot like her, and I seem to consistently really love that type very much.
She is and she is well-spoken
She teaches so well, Oh My! I can listen to her all the way...
INTP. It's like omg this explains me, I wish everyone I ever came into contact could understand me so clearly. I tested the accuracy of the results by having close friends and co workers take the assessment so that I could compare the results to my own assumptions. No one was as impressed.
I did the same thing. I'm an INTP too. It's accurate and useful. I feel the same way. I wish there was a pamphlet on the INTP I could just hand to everyone.
interesting, enfp here and im really fast to catch intp's brainwave.
INTP here as well, but I like being the mysterious type, so It's alright that people dont always understand me lol
Yeah, my dad’s an INTP too. He loves Myers Briggs for the same reason
@@ashy.c8191 I am a INFP are we similar or not? I am not sure.
I think the P actually stands vor Procrastination ;D
So true! INFP.
she's a strong woman. she's been through tough times and she was able to cope.
Picked her as an ESTJ from the beginning :)
Learning I was an INFP changed my life. It helped me understand myself and others in a way I never understood before.
BeingErin me too!!
can we appreciate how she was wearing the colours and the outfit of her mbti type?
INTJ female and I'm more reserved but I can be extroverted when I need to be. I become what I need to be in the situation I am in....it's all an act. Truly I am a more quiet reserved person. Extroverts get on my nerves and people who talk and talk and talk for nothing, very draining and exhausting to be around these people. I bought a t-shirt recently says - DO ME A FAVOUR STOP TALKING. I have yet to wear it, I know it's insulting, maybe I will wear it on halloween...lol!
Same to all the above. :)
as a fellow INTJ i understand you completely
cool....I get mad with myself for not being a more patient person, when it comes to peoples talking style. I am direct and to the point and these people who have to give you a long winded story. I find exhausting.
Preach.
M Brontë I feel the same! My friends think I’m an old woman haha they’re pretty extroverted ;)
ENFJ here! You all are awesome, unique, special, and loved. Pursue the things you know are right, and put all of your effort into them. You have one life to make a difference. Don't settle for anyone or anything. May God bless you, may you seek Him diligently, and I assure you everything else will be added to you.
No, everyone is not awesome unique, special or loved, i am, and so might you, but not everyone is, the only reason you can be one of those is because there is someone who is not, always needs to be a opposite.
@@Northernliiights what's your type?
@@bbongbbongdrrr1934 ENTP.
@@bbongbbongdrrr1934 What is your type?
@@Northernliiights ISTP
INFP here
No! You're a Sensor by the way you talk! Perhaps ISFP?
Purple Puppy Hello!!One more INFP is here too!!
=Frank Derms I need more xSFPs in my life
I am infp too
Am INFP and so proud of that.
I'm an INFP! And you are the complete opposite of my type as an ESTJ! It was interesting to see how you presented about MBTI! I could see a lot of similarities in the way we think probably because we have the same cognitive functions, just in reverse order! I really admire how you were able to present your material in a clear way and get down to business in a decisive way! If I did this same talk, I probably would have made it 10-20 minutes longer with side tangents from the original material and interesting stories from my past haha! That's just me xD I can see that you have the same thought process as me, that you like to explore new ideas around you and that you have a lot of curiosity, but you see it less in you than in me because you use sensing more than I do! So I admire that you were so present in the moment when you were speaking! I'm usually in my own little world and sometimes teachers have thought in the past that I am not listening when I really am, I'm just looking around everywhere around me and not at them, so they think I'm not listening to them! Thank you for this TED talk! I really enjoyed it! And I think you did a great job! I love the thing you did at the end with the clapping xD that was great haha!
im an INFP too and i share the same sentiment
mee too an INFP with teachers thinking that i am not listening just because i was staring for long at a different angle than where they stood while lecturing ... i found that it was essential for me to stare elsewhere especially when i am deeply internalizing whats being said or arriving at some reflections/interpretations,,, so thank you for sharing that cuz i thought it was just me
and for the records i loved her explanation of types just as much
You articulated perfectly a sentiment that I also share and thought of while watching. Thank you! :D
Angelica Gutierrez aye fellow INFP we lurk the internet but I can never find us in real life
INFP here too!
ENFP here. Sometimes I love my type and sometimes I hate it. I cry like three times during a children’s movie and I’m just like, “WWWHHHYYYYY do I have to be so emotional!”
Sooo damn relatable woww!! I was crying so much the other day watching an anime(Japanese animated series)...and even in general any emotional movie or book makes me cry...sometimes even songs bring me on the verge of tears
"...I learned I need to stop and ask people..do you want me to stop and listen, or do you want me to help you solve the problem? That way I dont get so annoyed when they dont take my advice." Lol me.
ENTP here and my life is a mess cause I keep changing the path I'm on everyweek
Yeah, it only starts to improve once you learn how to clone yourself so you can take multiple paths, and also to increase the amount of ENTPs so we’re one step closer to fixing the world
Ne
As soon as she starting talking, even before she started explaining the types, I knew she was an ESTJ. Lol
Yup, agreed!
I thought she was ESFJ
She's a strong speaker
How did you know?
Me too! (infj pattern recognition) And I thought, "I need to send this video to my estj friend" (who thinks things are seriously wrong my infp teenage daughter because she is the opposite type. Estjs CAN appreciate myers briggs, IF they are in a position where they need to utilize it for practical purposes.
When she talked about someone else's and her personal life, I almost cried. I'm glad there's MBTI to find a way to understand yourself when own's self-assessment is insufficient.
I’m an infj Never realized how helpful it is to understand everyone’s type. Especially at work. It’s amazing.
She made a comment that MBTI is about preferences. My coworker's 9 year old son said something so profound months ago that I'm still in shock at his wisdom. When he grabbed a piece of my sushi on my plate at lunch and I said to him, "You're mom doesn't like sushi." He said, and I'm quoting verbatim, "People like what they like." I was speechless. Until recently, (I'm 36 and Southern and INFP) I thought if people disagreed, they didn't like each other. Hard way to live your life. I thought, "What freedom this young boy has." Genius.
She's both professional and hilarious at the same time. Made me more interested.
Had fun listening to this TED Talk by her.
Thank you for this.
Me too. Excellent!
I’m an ENTJ fascinated by Myers Briggs. Thank you for the wonderful video, now it will be much easier to explain it to people.
She is brilliant. Clear as pure water.
ESTJ sounds like such a straight forward type I'm jealous.
i'm an INFJ
They are straight forward, dont like to linger to much on an idea unless its needed. Tend to get to the point, and tend to be good buisness people. Dont be jelous, each type is quite uique, {espetially Your type and Mine (INTJ)}
they might be staright forward, but you've got a straight up superpower right there... frickin Ni doms, how do you function?? and why is you 98% of the time right?? idk but please never stop, we ENFP's need you both to keep being healthy and bringing that lost sense of wonder to the world... much love to you 2
It is also funny how ENFPs (At least this one) seem to have a radar for INxJs... you seem like soo inside your heads, it kind of activates an "I want to know what they're thinking and understand them" response on the inside that burns...
M1RANDA I'm an INFJ too and ESTJ is actually the personality we clash with the most
La nariz de tucan de Jeon Jungkook Seriously, why are you people such sweethearts? Hahah, I love ENFPs:)) - INFJ
ISTJ (yep, it nailed me perfectly) but great to help you understand others! You mean, everyone really isn't trying to drive me insane?
INFP here! :)
I’m an INTP.
Thank you.
Funny how every personality type think themselves as crazy, don't fit in, alone. But the truth is we're all human and we can all relate to each other, you're not alone, crazy nor a outsider. Oh and I'm an INFP.
I’ve watched TED Talks for YEARS- but this is BY FAR the BEST I have ever seen. Thank you!!
The MBTI was a life saver for me. I came out as an INFJ and I finally felt like I wasn't out of place anymore.
INTP here, awake alone at 2am enjoying myself with thoughts and interesting videos. I work with people and its really stressing me out, nighttime alone is where my energy refills. I like to take things apart into a million pieces and finding that 1 little detail that I can fix to make it function better. I question everything and I think more people should do the same, for others and themselfs.
This was by far the best and most clear explanation of the differences between the i and e, n and s, t and p and j and f, that I have ever seen! Thank you for this!
I actually think she's amazing. Such a clear and (com)passionate speaker.
I really like your examples, and the mix of humor and vulnerability you showed. Excellent presentation!
I am a INFP and my strengths are Love, Kindness and Forgiving.....I have just survived a narcissist ex and sometime I do wish that I didn't always believe everyone has good in them, and believe at the time what everyone says, sometimes anyway:)))
INFJ - Jung is the architect of this, not MBTI and he told us not to get too hung up on the typology, it is a guide, a map.
Yes! I understand this. At 60 years of age, it's still the best tool that I have been offered. And I tried far too many tools. lol
@@wynstansmom829 I'm still struggling with it. I mean it's like 80 years old or something and it does have it's flaws. I just can't believe psychology didn't came up with something better or at least advanced. MBTI is popular. But that doesn't make it more credible for me.
@@NRX25 Have you looked at Reddit? Our MBTI community is fantastic and you see people who simply want to learn to communicate better. This generation is rather amazing, for the most part.
Well, not exactly. Jung didn't invent Judging Percieving distinction.
@@NRX25 Psychology just has another angle of inquiry. A big part of psychology is how to accurately measure behaviour, but the problem with that is that linking behaviour to traits is problematic. That's part of why the big five are often considered the gold standart - they are descriptive of relatively easy to measure traits without providing much of an explanation or a prediction of behavioural preferences.
The MBTI remains popular in popular culture and in practical application because it makes those predictions. This also makes it problematic as that can mean reducing a person to 4 letters. Then, there is the mess with the functions. The description of the functions is very vague and a lot of assumptions about them have been disproven.
So, the main development in the debate about things around MBTI are Keirseys temperaments which basically is a slightly less complex big five model. Socionomics go in a similar direction as MBTI and elaborated the functions, but they aren't as present in the English speaking community.
Many things you see about the MBTI today are people who include their own conjecture and experience in a system that is scientifically stagnant. I can see the MBTI making a comeback in a few years when these new insights are put to a test and systematised, but this can only be due to the current debate.
Meanwhile, you have people on the internet going about how they are much smarter than others because they are Intuitives or because they are thinkers and companies who fall prey to the supposedly easy prediction of how someone will perform at a job based on a test that takes maybe 20 minutes to take.
I’ve rewatched this ted talk multiple times. Not only does it cover a topic that I am absolutely passionate about, but it’s funny, witty, emotional… I love it ♥️
SUMMARY:
MBTI personality preference pairs:
1) Where we direct & receive energy:
a) Extrovert
- Like to direct energy outside, and it bounces back to them.
- Think that silence is a space to be filled.
- Might think interruption as a compliment: someone is listening and building further ideas from their idea.
- If you want to know what an extrovert is thinking, you haven't listened.
b) Introvert
- Like to direct energy inside, to generate more energy from within.
- Think that silence is a space to be cherished.
- Assume interruption as rudeness, because they have to analyze the interruption & think how to response.
- If you want to know what an introvert is thinking, you haven't asked.
2) Data gathering & information we like and trust
a) Sensing
- Like things to be practical, actual, real.
b) Intuition
- Like possibilities, meaning, the big picture.
3) The way we make decisions:
a) Thinking
- When people come with problem, they want to solve them.
- They step back from the decision.
- They look at the data/information in an objective/logical way.
- They look at the pros and cons, then make decisions.
b) Feeling
- When people come with problem, they tend to listen instead of directly solve the problem.
- They step into the decision.
- They consider:
* How the decision is going to impact people.
* How the decision is fit with their value system.
What the speaker said is nothing new, but she explained it in a simple and easy to understand way. Before listening to her, I never really understand the pair preference beyond E-I. I know my type (INFP) because I have taken the MBTI tests before (twice, with similar results!), but I didn't quite grasp the remaining 3 pairs until now. Thank you very much, Jean🙏
I literally shouted ‘No’ after she said that plans are options. 15:06 😂 entj here
Nick I literally thought “yessss” when she said plans are options! Haha, I’m ENTP.
I did the exact opposite. XD INFP here.
Years ago I decided to make a 'to do' list with things I'd like to finally move on with and get things done.
To this day I haven't made that list 🤦🏻♂️
It's so embarrassing but it looks like lists are not my thing 🤷🏻♂️

As you should be. INFJs are rare and amazing. ♡
I am intp
can we give this woman some love? Jean amazing talk
I thought... NT's are the rarest ones, but I see lots of them on the MBTI videos or posts... Does that mean NT's are more likely to be interested by those subjects than other types? ~Apologizing for my English, an INTP
+Ashierkun NT making up for 10.3% of population, Rationalists are within the minority of people and not easily subjected to the agenda of the systems. So, INTP's are also among the leader types, preferably leading artisans for the Perceiving type. Which I think is interesting because Stephen Colbert is also an INTP.
Yes. Much more than sensory types. I have to know everything, how it all fits together, even if it means diving into the shady rabbit holes, which the sensory types would dismiss and ignore. Ni and Te eventually leads you to MBTI, which is a really cool subject to dwell into and expand the knowledge.
Yes. NTs fall in love with the systematic approach to dealing with people. The "big picture" aspect of MBTI attracts these types. None more than the INTP, like myself. INTPs are the least understood type and not only does MBTI explain us beautifully, it satisfies our need to understand the universe.
Stephen Colbert took the test on his show and came out INFP. I don't doubt the F but he seems like an extravert. Tina Fey is reported to be INTP.
+Roy Rki Are you an INTJ or ENTJ? INTP's have Ne and Ti. Which could also lead you to MBTI. As could.any set of preferences I guess. I found it interesting that as an ST the speaker was drawn to MBTI looking for practical results. I'm an NF and it really helped me understand the differences between my parents and myself. Ultimately if something is strong and universal ...which this has to be in order to cover all the types...it by definition has something for everyone. However I think that N types just enjoy learning something like this in order to understand it while S types are likely to dive in only if they are motivated by a specific goal.
I love this. I've been into this for over 30 years. Rings so true for me still
Such an entertaining way of fully understanding personality types, and what a teacher....gifted!
I hate that she didn't mention cognitive functions at all...
me too, but I understand bc she didn't have the time
That would have made the speech too long and too complicated.
The video would have been practically perfect if she had
@@mannonKG yes at least “We got not much of time here, you can look up MBTI Functions if you want to. It’s available on the internet.”
I lately learned how important it is to know one's cognitive functions..
It cleared my concepts of introverts and extroverts. Used some questions on me to find out what category I belonged to.
Ayesha Hassan you belong to the no fly list.
Are you an introvert or extrovert. I'm older now and very introverted as opposed to my mommy, working years. I always needed alone time, however. Is it the same with you?
ENTPPPPPP mbti seriously made me feel so much more comfortable in myself, my family and school teachers never got why i behaved like i do but i couldn’t change it, it didn’t work, once they found out about it too they accepted me and i’m so much happier
ISTP here, and I live the way she's finding the solutions to her problems :)
I love putting things on my checklist for the shear joy of checking them off! :D My favorite part in the talk!
INTP here. XNTP actually. Anybody else?
Sam Ann xntp? Maybe you're just overthingking about your type which means that you are most likely an actual intp, and maybe im overthingkimg that you're overthinking about your type. Lol but I get what you're saying, I wasnt very sure for a while about me being an intp, I was like, "no, maybe I'm manipulating myself into believing I'm an Intp, but maybe im not actually... Blah blah blah"
LOL. Overthinking ... yes, we both do I guess. I think i'm an XNTP because my extroverted intuitive (EN) factor is super high & my introverted thinking (IT) is not that strong. However, i'm not very extroverted or social.
+Sam Ann then you must be ambiverted. You can definitely be a little bit of both of extroversion and introversion.
yes, ambiverted. when alone i do extensive research online on various topics. mostly, psychology, physics (my passion), investing (pays my bills) & hitech to keep up with technology. when extroverted & around people, i talk & dream of new entrepreneurial & investing, etc.
Sam Ann INTP here
She had me riveted to my seat! I loved listening to her amazing and informative presentation. Well put out and it flowed without being boring at all. It helps to see oneself better. Thank you for this.
One of the best explanation of the MBTI preferences that I've seen.
There's always a particular ease of understanding on the listener's part when a Te-dom does the explanation.
She was amazing. Funny, engaging, and very informative. And I make lists as well and get immense joy in crossing things off. And I as well, sometimes add tasks that I've completed as well. :)
I just love this woman. She is amazing.
That ending was so modest, wow

Hi Faith! My channel is dedicated to ENFP videos. Please feel free to visit
I can feel the ENFP aura in this comment
your profile picture is very ENFP hahah
Faith Southers me!
Oh wait for me!!!
This was a great talk. She really delivered the information precisely and with great examples! Thanks
That was the BEST EXPLANATION OF MYERS BRIGGS I have ever heard!!! THANK YOU, JEAN KUMMEROW!!! :) ^_^
Thank you so much for introducing such valuable information to the world, finding out my type (INTP) helped A GREAT DEAL into understanding and bettering my life, and thank for having the courage and generosity to share such personal information about your life !
Excellent presentation with useful information that is so helpful at work and in relationships
This woman is a legend congrats ❤❤
Also female INTJ-found my son that I had the hardest time getting along with was also INTJ-made a HUGE difference in how we experience each other-on solid ground with that relationship, now. We are both surrounded by feelers, no wonder we were so stressed out all the time! Really enjoyed Jean's presentation on this; feel a lot less alien! Also appreciated her comments on her own personal life. I can only imagine how difficult that must have been...
There are also genetic factors and envirionment factors beyond You on the "making" of your INTJ-made son's personality type from MBTI.
Your delivery of your presentation was done in a way that took a complicated issue and made it a lot easier to understand. The examples you used were effective in showing that differences in opinions have more to do with how people process information than as to whether or not people care about you. That’s an important message that needs telling. Thanks
I believe that lot of the people proclaiming themselves as INTJs in this comment section aren't really INTJs. They might be an unhealthy ENTJ or an unhealthy INTP or INFP. The personality type of the INTJ is often accidentally applied to deeply introspective individuals or people with shaky self-esteem.
I wouldn't rely fully on personality tests to tell you what your personality is. Saying that, I've taken the test many times over the last five years and while I always end up as an INTJ. However, I try not to let it define me. It's easy to get conceited about being something you may not even be.
INTJ's might get stuck in a loop.
with dealing with pressure and end up in a loop.
the Ni-Fi loop, they develop this loop as defensive mechanism
and it's actually damaging and leads to depression and damage the self-esteem in the long term.
anyway - give it a try in different situations to get better results, also doing your research is good for understanding.
............................
i don't like being classified this way but i admit it that it's good way of self improvement.
I NEED THAT PRINTED OUT! Seriously, way more people need to see and understand this!
This was a very well put together and delivered presentation. I enjoyed it all the way through.
Many of these comments are from INTJ types.
Y'all need to stop using the internet all day and give your boyfriend/girlfriend a call because they miss you....Douglas.
INTJ don't do relationships. Internet is the place to be.
INTJs are extroverted on the internet. Makes us ENTJs look better on the picture...
It was designed for that, not even them perceive this matrix, specially them...
No he doesn't. (Relationships are the Achilles' heel of INTJs, so not surprising.)
Lmao NO
Have no one, and probably never will
I know I am INFJ since 8 months, learn MBTI, cognitives functions and watch some video about personality types, helped and help me so much to understand all my past life, all my "traumas".
Now I am able to guess personality type of people, I see the world again differently.
The concrete world, the world seen with my Ni dominant, and seen with MBTI/cognitive function in head with the skill to guess people personality type, know how humans functions. Like a second power. The first is oberve/analyse people and know what wrong with them, know if they are happy or not, or what they can feel. As a natural psychologist.
INFJ, we see both the details and the big picture, and our middle functions F & T are well balanced, we use our both brain left & right.
Sure we all can act on the way which is not our preferences but, this cases is sometimes the one where we are under stress.
That's why is better to go deeply in the topic and learn cognitives functions, to understand better and be able to guess better others personality type, and more... this MBTI/cognitives functions is an amazing ~ infinite knowledge.
I love how many people do some video about it : Frank James, Love Who, Dear Kristin, Renaud Contini (more about INFJ), Bogdan Yakubets.
This made so much sense for me and helped me identify my type. It was easier to understand whether my test results made sense or not.
ENFP, also an Empath, who needs time alone to recharge.
Us ENFPs usually are the most Introverted extraverts, we might be really active with people around and in a party get a little overcharged/overwhelmed by all the things happenin, but afterthat we need a whole lot of alone time...
With our dominant function being Ne we don't really charge by spending time with people (Fe) or doing exciting/thrilling things (Se) we are more charged when we engage in Deep meaningful conversations with ourselves (Fi), or when we build up a new and interesting idea (Te) but mostly and more naturally when we start to explore and diverge in hundreds of pathways of possibilities and/or stories and sub plotlines (Ne) it is really exciting to use Ne :3 that's why Ni's need us, to paint some color in those long voids of time...
I am an INFP are we pretty similar or not?
@@lauratrejos1528 I really don't think that it is dependent on whether you're an ENFP. I think it depends on how Introverted/ Extraverted you are and besides, everybody needs alone time regardless of Introversion or Extraversion.
the same
Honestly the thought that some homosexuals are so oppressed that they force themselves to marry a woman in an attempt to be straight is deeply saddening to me. I can't even imagine having to go through something like that.
She is obviously older. Times have changed dramatically. Many straight people married just to marry back then too.
Same. I can't believe the amount of years they went on trying to ignore their natural identity. Horrifying
Thank you! This video has cleared it out for me and helped me gain more understanding.
I'm an ENFP, and being the MBTI obsessed human that I am, I was pleasantly surprised to know that this was a video on MBTI :D
This talk is beautifully structured and I’ve known my type for a long time but I just finally understood it for the first one while watching this talk!
I'm INFJ, it's weird I always thought that I was equally a feeler and a thinker, but I see how sometimes I know they just want me to listen
as an intj wanting to start a small business this gave me a lot of amazing insight into how to work with each employee as an individual to create the best atmosphere and most confident workers. thank you 🙏
Male ISFJ here. Didn't expect to be an introvert but I am mostly quiet in group settings. However if someone approaches me and is interested in talking to me I'm likely to carry on the conversation. Sensing is valuable in observing what's going on. Feeling helps to understand any emotions being presented in certain situations. Judging is good for me to get things organized now and come up with an action plan!
The most informative video I’ve ever heard. I know that after knowing my personality type, I’m going to make better decision choices in my life. Thank you very much!
Yes!! I agree.
Im INFP while my wife is ESTJ ,,, we are opposite .. it takes while for us to understand each other...
I am grateful that I watched this video, thank you very much Jean for sharing your experiences it was a big blessing to me. God bless your heart.
This is amazing. Thank you.
Damn is it interesting to hear a person of the exact opposite personality type give a talk on this topic. (I'm an INFP.)
ENTJ 3w4 here.
there can be only one...
Infp 261 sx/sp
2w1 6w5 1w2 sx/sp (2 and 1 are becoming more balanced)
Whoa
if only two choices are left worrying in trade ... which trade is most suitable for istp personality, choose one of them and give the logical reason based on istp's personality itself ... a mechanic or an electrician ... thank you, God bless you
ENTP 3w2 So/Sx (tritype: 378)
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much.
What a fantastic lady !!

How did you get those results? Because if it's from 16personalities, i would recommend another test.
@@sofiamiquilena6894 what ? Isn't it supposed to be the top or something?
@@blazer9547 That test doesn't contemplate a lot of important information required to correctly explain the theory, such as the cognitive functions (which are actually all the point of this study). I can assure you that 16personalities is all based on stereotypes like "if you're an introvert you don't like to be around people" ,and such statement can't be further from the truth, acording to the theory.
INFJ here, this is an interesting discovery ~
Very subtle and stirring presentation at the same time!
Amazing woman .. thank you for sharing .. makes me more mindful
Wish she would have gone into the functions. Make apart II Jean!
Also: I'm INTP
