    As an INTP, and as someone who has never found it easy to read the social cues of the people around me, I find that MBTI provides a useful framework to help me understand and interact with other humans.
    I'm not going around typing everyone willy-nilly, but I've found that paying attention in particular to which cognitive functions people are using is very helpful.

    • @piraattipupu
      @piraattipupu Před 3 lety +21

      And for me (an INTP too) the MBTI has helped me to accept my flaws I've failed to get rid of as part of me and brought me if not inner peace but small amount of self-forgiveness.
      When I was a child people were always telling me I was embarrasing or rude when I was trying to be nice and polite but nobody told me how I should have behaved instead and that's why I've always been very hard on myself for every little mistake and wrong choice I make.

      An MBTI test is not really science. It's a tool which can be useful when used correctly, but it is no scientific tool. Analyzing self ratings can be a part of science, but the self rating alone is not. You do have a bias and only 50-70% of the results are correct and/or reproducable.

    There are two ways to understand and use mbti, to your advantage and against you. If you use it the wrong way, you may start putting labels on people, as well as yourself, thus boxing yourself in and limiting your chance to grow, when in reality it should be a tool to help us learn about why we do things the way we do, and develop ourselves in areas we might be lacking. Knowing about my and my friends'/family's types has definitely been a game changer :)

I was confident that the video woud be valuable since Frank is a great content creator, he is well instructed and he gives exact information. I knew his video would be instructive. Finally, i had a fifty/fifty chance that his video would be either good or bad. I then took the chance to state that his video would be good, because I had a strong instinct based on my knowlegde and trust in Frank james. In conclusion, even if I could not affirm out of all doubt that his video would be good, i choose to do so because I had high expetations, influenced by a long period of watching this CZcams channel’s videos.

    When I first got introduced to typology about 5 years ago, I made the mistake of joining a Facebook group for INFJs. I saw so many people playing up to the stereotypes and I felt like I was mistyped because I wasn't identifying with the rest of the group. I ditched the group after about 2 months and got on with my life because I wasn't actually learning anything useful. Learning about the cognitive functions and being able to identify them at work has been invaluable information and has helped me to grow exponentially in the past year. Gotta love the efficiency aspect of that, I'm not into wasting my time. Thank you for this series, Frank!

  • @EamonBurke
    @EamonBurke Před 3 lety +15

    As an intj, i started into mbti because I wanted to know how this interesting little system works. But after a while, I realized it was a great shorthand for helping me remember how people are. But, the most powerful thing it provides is an efficient way to tell how people are different from you. There are times when people are asking concerned questions and one person may take that as being supportive and someone else may take it as being untrusting of your ability. Sometimes, people end up being rude when they are simply being careless and assume everything is sunshine and rainbows and the idea of offending someone doesn't even land on their radar. Sometimes people do just need a hug, they aren't making a move on you.

    2 Things:
    1. When I found out I was more INTJ, the description made me understand what Lauren Hill was singing about in Killing Me Softly- REALLY seen. I was depressed for 3 days but then I realized it explained sooo much about me and helped me see what I want to work on as regards to myself. Now, knowing my INTJness, I understand myself better and how other people may view me from things I do that I think are kind and helpful but actually come off bossy and harsh. It still happens but now I know what’s going on.
    2, There’s a CZcamsr who took the test and got ENTP. Then said how, as Frank brought out, “it was limiting” and people change, etc, and just debating the whole thing. It was the most ENTP thing he could have said! ☺️

    Knowing my type actually helped me being ok with myself! I'm ENFP-t and as a teenager I was told I'm too emotional, because I sometimes change my mood more than once a day....I was then send to to therapy, which I quit after a few sessions, because I didn't feel like I needed fixing.
    It damaged me and I started to not express myself anymore. Not jump around happily, not making jokes, being very self-concious, not talking about bad things that happened to me ect, I became very serious. Soon I lost interest in my hobbies didn't connect with people anymore. In short feeling like something is wrong with me, made me depressed...
    I knew before the typing I was fine as a person, but I still had been critizised for being a scanner. I'm too sensitive and emotional for some people. But now I understand this is my strength. And that that it's fine.
    I'm from a very strict household. I needed to do 6 years of gymnastics as a child, even though I didn't like it to teach me consistency....My parents tried to teach me to not be a quitter that way.... Yeah they don't understand me at all. I function differently, so I must be wrong.
    So reading there are others like me with similar problems helped me a lot!
    My best friend from childhood is INFJ XD So the ENFP x INFJ thing has some truth to it! I'm glad she understood me! I love her to the moon and back! ❤ She is wonderful!

      That's a lovely story! I'm an ENFP, too. 🥰 I think some people see me as an unorganised person. This was a problem cuz my former landlord was a very meticulous, strict person. (She was just mean tbh...) I felt so anxious living in the house cuz she made many new rules after I moved in and invaded my privacy. Her emails were really obnoxious as well. So like you, I started to hide my spontaneous, free personality to avoid conflict. I moved out of that house, and now I'm receiving weekly counseling and getting myself back and also improving myself. 👍 I think I've become a stronger person now, which is awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🎶 It is great to hear other ENFP's overcoming stories. They cheer me up. ♥️

      I'm so sorry you had to go through this! It's hard when you're good and happy as a child and they think you have to be "fixed". I'm sure you were perfectly fine ;) I was told the same as a kid and thus trying to change me or making me more of an extrovert which actually made me more introvert I guess but, you get the point. I do think, emotional and sensitive and intuitive types are often looked at as a risk because people don't like being exposed and when you see through them or their bs.

I've been trying to explain to him what Myers Briggs personality types are for 4 years, but he keeps saying he doesn't "get it", and that he "can't remember all those letters". Funny enough, a while ago I found a picture with Pusheen "dressed up" as every single type and he really liked it, so now everytime I talk about the personality types, he keeps asking: "Which Pusheen am I? Which Pusheen is my brother?". I know it's hilarious, but that's been the only progress - in this specifical field - in the last 4 years, so hopefully, Frank, you'll be more clear than me 😂

    I'm an INFJ and before I knew MBTI, I always feel that I'm weird because I'm so different from other people around me in the way of thinking, loves being alone and enjoy myself with so many books, etc.
    Even my sister in law once said to my mom that she thought that I have some social issue.
    😅
    And when people do or think something different from me, especially when they are making decisions that looks like not considerate other people, I always thought why he/she can be so cruel. Why people like that exist?

    But after I knew MBTI, I knew I'm not weird and understand that people are different.

It sounds so funny to me now, because I'm a lot more open and accepting about different people. At one point I was in one staff house where mostly introverts lived. We'd go out drinking, but in the house we'd be really chill and not talk much. An extroverted guy got hired at the company and he was on the extreme end of high energy. The guys treated him so badly and I felt very bad seeing that. It's like the reverse situation where the introvert gets shunned for being too quiet. As it turned out, that extroverted guy had an angsty side and did a lot of writing, so we connected on that level. It taught me such an important lesson to practice what I preach - to accept others as they are and they're not always who they seem to be on the outside.

    MBTI has been my saving grace when it comes to social interaction. I used to be horrible at it, but since discovering MBTI and learning more about it from great speakers like FJ, my brain can finally rationalize most of the intricacies of social interaction. Kudos to FJ for putting all the information in an easy-to-absorb format.

    Also I really liked what you said about the reality perception. My sister is a feeler and her problems often seem blown out of proportion to me (a thinker). It took me some years to learn that listening and comforting her before starting the "logical problem-solving mode" is much better and more efficient than skipping over the emotions involved. 😊

    Brilliantly put bro. As an ENFJ I felt exactly like that - the power that MBTI typing has to show you how to better understand people. I have also become (even) more tolerant towards people as well, but now I feel like it's a more conscious process than how I used to process this before.

But then I took the test (several times) and learned a lot about INFJs. Most things fit so perfectly and especially the videos on YT on how to use your strengths as INFJ and what not to do, helped me soooo much. Especially FJs and Wenzes' Videos. I feel like I know myself better now and that I am okay the way I am (but as an INFJ of course want to improve! lol)

    Appreciate you highlighting the inferior function. The dominant function is the obvious ones that everyone embraces in themselves, but it's the lower functions that really are where changes can be made when you're aware of them. It's more important to know about Fe inferior, for instance, than Ti dom. It's really hard to confront the inferior function, cognitive looping, nemesis, critic and demon functions when you don't have an awareness to them. MBTI should spur growth, not stagnation.

    So many reasons why It's important to understand 16 Personalities! Just recently, I introduced my sister to this channel and she took the 16 Personalities test, it turns out she is an ISFJ (I am INFJ). We binge-watched the comedy skits together and really got to understand one another while we laughed, as there was no doubt that the comedy skits precisely represented our personalities. A level of trust and openness that didn't exist before has blessed our relationship since then. I am forever grateful to FJ.

    Personality tests are very inaccurate. The only way to understand your personality is to actually study cognitive functions. I see a lot of people claiming to be INFJ's and INFP's, both of which are extremely rare, especially INFJ which was for some reason the personality with which most users got on the 16 personalities website (357K). People try to explain this by saying that INFJ's are more interested in these tests, which is not true. The truth is that INFJ's and INFP's are the types of personalities that suffer the most mistyping, and the vast majority of people do not even belong to these groups. That is why studying cognitive functions is so important, because in addition to the tests being inaccurate, they deal with heavy stereotypes that come down to just 4 letters, and our personality changes constantly over the months and years.

      Yeah, the questions are so basic and people can't help but give the answers on basis of their idealised assumptions. The test strongly demarcates between the two types of each parameter as if it's not possible to have a balance. Whereas, functions explain such traits. The way letters P and J and T and F are distinguished annoys me the most in that test. I got to know my type only after studying functions otherwise it would just assign me as an INTP or INFP.

    • @fairyfellermasterstroke
      @fairyfellermasterstroke Před 3 lety +4

      And people get so attached to being the stereotype that 16 personalities gives you. Humans are so different and have vastly different experiences. Having the same cognitive function preferences as someone else shouldn't mean that you're the exact same type of person as them. It's the way we process information and make decisions that connects us to our 'type'. You're individual personality is so unique to you that it can't be put in to a box with anyone else so you can't based who you are just on those 16 stereotypes

    You figure people out eventually without this, you learn how your friends, family and associates are, what to expect and how to deal with them when they get weird or you want to convince them about something. Having a good grasp of these things might speed up the process considerably. That's what I hope, anyways. And knowing my type has already helped some in dealing with my weak points and recurring problems. Instead of feeling weak or stupid about some particular thing that I do, and repeating myself regularly, I might actually be able to quit it if I know what to fix. I can think I'm doing it for one reason, but I'm seeing it's actually something different.

    • @spiritualsnail1584
      @spiritualsnail1584 Před 3 lety +1

      I totally agree. I even feel like part of growing up and maturing is developping your type's weaknesses. I'm an INFP, and my life has improved a lot recently. In reaction to this, I see myself being more social, being more focused on others, managing my emotions better, even though I stay INFP.
      I think that maybe a goal to improve ourselves could be to try to become more like the type with opposed function stack. For us INFPs, it would be developping Fe Ni Se Ti, aka taking ENFJs as models.
      Working that way would allow a preference to truly be a preference, and not a default setting because we're incapable of being any other way.

    ISFP here - one test I did classified it as "the artist" and I did another test, got the same type but they classified it as "the adventurer". I used to be quite adventurous, especially as a child when you don't really have the sense of danger. Early adulthood, I did things because I wanted to without thinking much of the consequences, I certainly wasn't the "what if ..?" type. Becoming a parent changed that, "how would it affect....?"
