First, thank you for checking out the channel! Cognitive Personality Theory (CPT) is a multi-nuanced personality classification system focusing on individual differences, positing type not as a set of letters to define who we are, but, rather a series of limitations that can, with patience, be overcome.

hello--I don't know if you'll see this since this video is old, but could you possibly explain your distinction between objective and subjective identity?
I really like your cake analogy. I can figure out some people's personality types in multiple systems within five minutes of meeting them, while others I can room with for years and still be unsure what they are.
Dots and comas are inconsistent as you try to simulate them by not speaking, you sometimes cut the clip making silences more inconsistent or non existent. This added to the reuse scientific terms which are also related between other scientific terms through the 10 minutes I have been watching this video, make it a really unintuitive way of understanding what you are trying to convey on each point. Verbal communication doesn’t need to simulate dots or comas, the message is conceived and contextualized by the messenger. Stops are clearly needed but it’s not a good practice to literally turn an essay into a video. In my opinion, a better way is to create a script over the essay based on the medium you are going distribute it. That’s why script writers for movies exist for example. You don’t literally turn a book into a movie. The length of the video is also really bad.
Okay... so "Convergent" INTJ I am. Against the stereotype I always considered myself a romantic and definitely not possessing the so-called "resting ******" face. I'm a total goofball at times and love absurdist humor (often resulting in my seemingly chuckling for no reason at times), and I'm also quite philosophical and self-reflective. Also <3 nature and being outdoors (the "uglier" the better) which ironically gives me opportunity to interact with my vast imagination as I look upon my surroundings. ...And a bit of a slob... I'M WORKING ON IT! >_<
Finally ! Thank you so much for getting us. I have been going back and forth between ENFP and INFP as I'm becoming more and more introverted with age. THIS finally settles me into my ENFP state. I'm flabbergasted by your understanding of the mbti. Are you an INFJ? You certainly have the most INFJ vibe of all the people I have seen on the internet. Thx again ❤
I’ve never been called out for my need of organization like your video suggests and you are correct! I enjoy the puzzle of finding the connection, and even through my mind jumps from A to K to Z to F, there is a system to my madness. I see all at once (abstract) and then need to sort into place. I think the reason we may be a little “mysterious” is because we are so curious asking about others. We don’t always share ourselves and maybe get lost in the mix.
Being an INTP is to have an ever evolving theory of everything, where every thought and experience either lived or observed plays a role in its evolution. Being an INTP is knowing that personality types are on a spectrum.
That "It is what it is" attitude regarding eSF/ESTP reminded me of my childhood lmao. Whenever I did something seen weird by people around me, and they finally asked me why did I do so, I used to reply them as such: Nothing! [It has a waaaaay cuter tone to it in Turkish, (Hiiiiiiiiiiiç!) my mother tongue.] Nice video to be blunt. Convinced to be ESTP at this point. Thanks, yay!
INFJ 8w7-sx/so-853 SLE IN(T)... God knows how I exist... But... It is highly frustrating... It is the superego, subconscious and the unconscious that are making me vulnerable? Please, explain. Because there's estp which I mostly be actionable and pragmatic like, istp on how logical and coldly committed to working I can be, enfp about the knowledge and the values which I like to gain. But at the end of everything that happens, I come off as an INFJ with my core behavior that everyone notices and only reacts to the INFJ part. Many signs that they only notice the infj part of me. They never see me as someone different than that. But my MBTI, Enneagram, and Socionics don't correspond to each other according to most people. What would you say?
Harry: I'm curious if the "50% of persons" you mentioned corresponds to the masculine/feminine flavor of the 4th function in the grant stack method. And if so, if your own Se is of the masculine variety (meaning that your brand of Ni is feminine, or as Dr Nardi might call it "Oracle Ni"?).... .I am predominantly of ExTJ preferences, thus TeFi. It's clear to me, and many assessors of my cognition, that my Te is feminine and my Fi is masculine. As such, your oppositional terminology (vs inferior or aspirational or demon) resonates a lot for me, as I refer to my mFi as my fTe's "complimentary and balancing spine partner". My Fi is something I segment into several components (Fi is way too big of a tent IMO for oversimplification) - cognitive Fi and bodily/somatic Fi. My cognitive Fi is super strong and decisive and insistent and extremely strong. My Te doesn't take a step in its building process without permission from my mFi. However and simultaneously, my bodily/somatic Fi is very weak and un-nuanced. So I'm wondering about the 50% corresponding to feminine top and masculine bottom in the 4-function-emphasized grant stack arrangement. Perhaps your experience with mSe as "oppositional" is very strong in some Se dimensionality, as my cognitive masculine Fi is very strong for me?
when you say TE is all in the external minus human equasion, you mean subjective human equasion? a objective thinking for example would be in its domain?
This video was quite insightful. I’ve been thinking about whether or not I’m an ENTJ or ESTJ but when you started talking about the FiSi axis, it totally resonated with me (as well as the rest of the video did). I can also see myself looping in the TeNe axis more often than not. Loved it. I’m so happy I finally made up my mind about my type 😎
Trivia fact: Beatrice Chestnut is exactly the type of an ESTJ who also happens to be a 2w1, that you're talking in point 3. She has built her whole career and life around helping and guiding people. IIRC she types as an ENFP, because of an association between the feeling and being humanitarian and serving.
Sir, i usually get 50/50 when it comes to feelings and thinking But everything else tends to always lean to me being an Introvert, Sensor & Perceiver..
Me, low eq, medium to high iq. She, high eq, basic in iq i think (i am not sure, it just felt that way). Result: no reciprocity. One sided crush feeling. Shoot.... Yeah, intelligent gap play huge role.
I am an intp, but maybe i am isfj too. But after i compare myself to my friend who seems to be an esfj, i think i definitely intp. My Si is less nostalgic than Si in second slot. It's harder to even imagine Si in the first slot: vivid imagination and strong memory, that's just not me at all.
this is intermediate or expert level info…i recently tested as an ENFP but some youtube videos made me question it. Sadly for me this video is in a foreign language 😅 i mean i love precise, dry, 3hr long videos on astrology but i know that language.
As a male ESFP. I want to say thank you, sometimes I feel that a lot of people don't understand me. Because when I use my introverted feelings. Sometimes people see me as an ISFP or an ENFP. It's strange because as an ESFP a lot of people say I'm not aware of my surroundings where I am clearly just being spontaneous! (I love Christopher Nolan movies and La La Land maybe that's why people are confused with Ne) Also, can I guess your MBTI @CognitivePersonality? INTP or INTJ? (Sorry if this doesn't make sense)
Hi! Most of the video was confirming INTP for me except for point 6. I definitely know how to be in the moment and am often the one to point out beauty to others. I made a conscious effort a few years ago to start taking a nature journal with me wherever I go so I can sketch the moment (I document where and when in military time). I feel I’m very adept with the present, but I’m not sure if it’s because I’m an artist and taken several Theology/philosophy courses that have driven me to cherish the present. What could I be if not an INTP? Could my S be more dominant? ISTP?
Maybe I’m overthinking it. I’ve definitely trained myself to be present. My go-to is to over analyze situations and to prepare for any outcome, so I’m usually the “mom” of any group cautioning others of danger or legal repercussions.
There's something I don't like about this categorizing. We may be using some thinking traits similarly, but it is impossible to be the same way or to say that we are fixly one way of another. We are really different. We lived different lives with different life experiences. Some days we act in a way, others maybe we have a different mood.
He speaks in too generalistic terms, which is easy for people to relate to. Like astrology. My tests say ESTJ. However, I'm somewhat skeptical of the validity of MBTI. That looks like too much wishful thinking and most people's functions are a salad, not in those boxes TeNe blabla, in which people want to evaluate them. That's why most of these evaluations seem to backfire. Someone says something about your mbti and you don't see anything useful to your life. It's just bland statements for some people to have a feeling of belonging to something. Nothing else.
@@danieldbdb I actually agree! Cognitive functions are not assigned in a hierarchy and exist simultaneously in different ways across people, which is actually spectral rather than categorical, yet categories are useful to chart a position within a sea of differences. The salad analogy is apt
I'd say with the theory becoming more grounded in SiTi (yes a tautology I know) that this kinda offsets the theory being too generalistic. Even so psychology is generalistic at least when we're looking at trends across a population as opposed to individual variants. I think you might change your mind if you accessed a typology service particularly CPT not MBTI (I have no bias here as I'm a patreon that's all); I'm not easy to impress & Harry produced some very apt insights that were far from generalistic. When we get into subtypes & network theory it becomes a heck of a lot more individualised & nuanced.
I love being an INTJ. Often times I get called a witch because I’m different, and because I can usually predict the future, but other than people misunderstanding me, I think being an INTJ is pretty cool.
