Man. Seriously, as far as I can tell, your grasp on and ability to explain typology and psychology is by far some of the best I have found to date. You make a lot of the other channels look like childs play.
i start struggling and repeating myself after literally 2 minutes of talking without a break. it’s just so hard for me to find the right words to express myself when talking. writing is much easier. i wish i could talk like him :/
oh hey I got a funny story. So I was at my friends house and we where talking about telepathy, as a joke I said I could read minds (nah I just know mbti shit) so as the conversation continues I said that I had a headache, I waited a few seconds and immediately after I said 'thanks for the offer but I don't need a paracetamol' you should've seen her face. HILARIOUS. I just knew she would say that. She still doesn't understand how I did it, I'd like to let her think that I can read minds, it's just too funny.
So, what would it be if my husband wakes me up too early EVERY morning to ask me where he left something, as if I would know? The answer is always the same, right where you left it. But one morning he asked for his keys. I just wanted to go back to sleep. With eyes closed I pictured the keys in my minds eye. Once I had a fix on that image, I let the vision expand to include the area beyond the keys. It looked like the top of the dryer. Weird place for keys. So I asked him "have you checked the top of the dryer yet?" He didn't say a word, but disappeared. He came back upstairs a moment later, and asked with disbelief "HOW did you DO that?" I went back to sleep.It was that funny space between awake and asleep. I figured maybe I walked past the dryer the night before, and saw the keys out of the corner of my eye or something. And my subconscious tucked away that info in case I needed it later. I don't know. Sometimes I'd take one look at my kids and know exactly what just happened to them.
I’m an INFP and I used to have a really difficult time with my INTP family member, but by understanding their functioning, I have been able to have a significantly better relationship with them. Pretending is literally against everything I feel to be right, but once I understood that it is necessary when creating healthy relationships with people who have different values and functioning as my own, I was able to embrace it. I really agree with everything you are saying.
Im INTP. The test kept saying I was everything but that. I just had to read about the types and find the one that matched me. The lack of context is the biggest problem. "It depends on the situation!" and "What do you mean by that?" I kept saying to myself.
literally same. i‘m not INTP i‘m ISFP but like one time i got INTP too?? i was so shocked and it was so inaccurate. i tried seeing myself as INTP but it just doesn’t match AT ALL.. 💀
I feel the tests are very prone to self-delusion, answering the way you see yourself rather than the reality. That being said, I'm always typed as intp/infp with my thinking/feeling being 51% and 49%. So I have no idea.
@@florinmusician Perhaps you see yourself, or want to see yourself as a more extroverted and flexible person. That or all these tests are just pseudo-science and we're playing personality-astrology.
Thank you so much for providing all this info for us. As an INTP female, everything socially has been a struggle, I can't connect with people or make friends easily. I'm just a weirdo that gets left out of everything because I'm not " cool enough". It bothers me, but at the same time I don't care. Now I know I'm not the only one. It's helped me accept myself for who I am, and what I need to work on to be even better. This stuff really needs to be taught in school. Thanks, again.
@Emma Brennan 😂😂😂 this is great! Thx so much! It's definitely not easy being weird. That's amazing to have a sis like that. INTJs are amazing people, I adore them. I met an intj once and she was literally the first person I have ever connected with. Sadly, she lives in an evangelistic family and we've only seen each other three times. I was homeschooled ( which I love. Lessens the social anxiety) so I've never been able to be apart of things in school like that but thx to very supportive parents and the internet I have been able to learn a few things. I've been playing violin for almost eight years. I started mostly cuz its one of the hardest instruments to learn and I was up for a challenge. Lindsey Stirling and Taylor Davis are my biggest inspirations. I've never really done gymnastics but I enjoy contortion/yoga sorta stretching stuff. Parkour is something I've wanted to learn, maybe I'll try it. I also like gaming, digital and traditional art, macrame to name a few. So I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I tend not to show it tho cuz I gotten call arrogant and show off. Everyone thinks im always trying to be better than them so only a special few get to see it. And most times I show my true self, everyone gets intimidated which doesn't help the "making friends" process but whatever. I'm just a heartless machine. I had really perfected being someone else in public and then was called a fraud and manipulative. But I didn't do it to hurt anyone. I was just trying to "fix" myself. Thx to this channel I now know better and I feel so much more free to be myself now. I no longer try to force myself into groups, I just let people come to me. Well, there's all my randomness for ya lol. Thanks for sharing and keep learning girl!
@Emma Brennan when do INTPs have nothing to say?!😉lol. They way I write/talk/ comment drives most people insane. I am so glad you can understand all that! It's feels pretty organized to me but apparently not for everyone else. Tell your sis i said hey and I would love to meet you guys too. Thx. So first off, macrame. I started by using embroidery floss and making friendship bracelets. It gives you a feel for working with the strings and basic knots. You can find tons of patterns here in n RU-vid and even Pinterest if you use that. Then from there I just started increasing amounts of string and patterns. Just worked my way up to be able to do wall hangings. I find it very relaxing and something I can do while thinking. I will warn you, it takes a LOT of patience lol. I can whip up a bracelet in a couple hours but the bigger things get it can take days to finish something. I think there are a lot of pros and cons with both ways of schooling. And I know a lot of people can't always handle it. We have always been very involved in church, so no, I'm not socially depraved. I'm glad I was homeschooled, even if I missed out on things I would like to do there. Because homeschooling leaves us completely free to do what we want. We don't have to follow social norms and peer pressure. We can live the way that fits with our life style. Situations with people like that really suck. I completely understand the whole supposedly "friends" thing. That's happened to me so many times. I get caught in a group thinking we are getting along great and then BOOM! I find out they haven't even been paying attention or caring about me at all. Even when I've done everything I can to learn them and be caring. Those emotionally charged situations I've just guessed what someone else might say. Which then comes off as robotic and unnatural but at least i tried. And most people don't understand how much effort that takes from someone like me. So, yes, I've given up on friends. I have two,sorta three-ish girls I can get along with pretty well most of the time but there is still sometimes that disconnect. If people come along that I like then great! If not, oh well, I'm doing fine so far.i have figured out that if I can walk away and they won't notice or care, like basically don't want me there, then I walk away and never look back. And this is one of the best things I've lived by. Hopefully that helps you. Thx for answering and reading this if you do!
Your talk of manipulation and emulating other senses is something I totally agree with. I've read in multiple sources that we INTPs are considered to be "chameleons". Don't know about others, but that's definitely true for me. I honestly don't see that as a lie or deception or something. This is just me trying to interact with people in the way that makes them happy - which will make my inferior Fe happy as well. Besides, though in general opinion manipulation means lying and using the person, I don't lie in my chameleon mode. I honestly become that person, even if it's not for long. I just try to not make people uncomfortable by being my weird self. And I don't use people, that goes against my ethics.
I totally agree with you! I do this naturally and it doesn't feel like deceiving other people at all, or like pretend even. It might be an Fe vs. Fi thing? I think I'm an INFJ
11:00 HE SAID IT. HE SAID ITTTTT. For so long I've been trying to explain those exact words and people never listened. It's neutral. Everyone manipulates everyone else. A lot, if not all, do it without realising.
Your videos & analyses are amazing! No stereotypical mumbo-jumbo, you provide your evidence with every claim you make, for eg explaining the child or the trickster or the demon function, or even going through the ego, subconscious, etc...this is simply beautiful! Thank you very much!!
You have an outstanding vision with this channel. The passion and message of 'why' this important is profound and not something I've seen anyone else do, or at least even in the ballpark of how you present it. I hope you keep up the work on these videos, they are excellent and will stand the test of time. ESTP here, and I loved your video on that type. Subscribed, and can't wait for your future videos! Thank you!
I am so happy that you make these videos. Your brain works like mine, and I can not express how truly fascinating it is. I’ve recently fallen ill to the Psych-bug, as it seems I’ve been researching this subject non-stop for the past 3 weeks with no end in sight. Go ENTP’s!!
Knowing someone else's type just so that you can emulate the type they are most compatible with seems exhausting and unnessary. You don't have to click with everyone. "Pretend" friends / colleagues are the worst. Is that a very ISTP thing for me to say?
Black people majority. Do this every in workplace. The same way we are with farm.close friends. Many times we know won't And doesn't work in Corporate America. So I get what Hes saying abt doing this with his boss. Seriously his thots that he didn't voice wuldve no doubt created an issue. Leading to future set up for failure firing.
As an INFP, that form of conforming to be what you're not, goes highly against our integrity. Unfortunately, with not playing that type of game in my former workplace, it sometimes had negative consequences. I frequently got passed over because of refusing to be superficial such as brown-nosing certain supervisors. The supervisors that cared more about my merit and less about the fact that I didn't brown-nose them were the only type of supervisors that promoted me.
betrix3000 Yooooo I feel exactly the same way He started talking about that and my brain instantly went “!” Cos like I don’t want anyone to pretend we’re friends. I don’t want people to pretend we get along great when in reality, if we’re both being authentic, we wouldn’t mesh well. I’m okay with clashing and disagreeing a little. (I’m an ISTP too lol)
I fully support all that you've done and the direction you are going, C. S. Joseph. I don't think many of us INTP's will have much (if anything) to improve on your design with anything you do in the future either, and surprisingly i say this with joy. Mostly because i think about how wonderful it is to know that someone out there truly understands why i lean towards the way that i am and that 'Apathy don't fix/change shit'. Disclipline is key and I'm needed in this world to not only innovate ideas but to support my fellow human.
As an Infp, when you said we need to understand each other, I found it to be meaningful and deep. I have always been afraid of people because of my horrible social anxiety. I was afraid of crowd so much that I would not even be able to get out of my house. I would spend weeks locked up in my room. It became so bad, I got lonely and went into depression. I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone and This is everything to me. A sincere THANK YOU to you C.S.Joseph. You have changed my life. Love you.
Thank you for these videos! I’m an INFP (I know for sure) so I’ve been drawn to the 16 personalities ever since I heard about them earlier this year. My initial thoughts were, “ok, so if I understand how I and other people tick, couldn’t I use that kind of power to improve myself and my relationships with others?” The problem was, I found a bunch of channels on RU-vid that were skit based (all well and good) but yours has really been the first to explore that potential and explain how to implement it, and my life has been all the easier since! Thank you so much! These videos are awesome! 😎
Im ENTJ and all my life assumed that manipulation is evil and always avoided it - I dont think you can be more authentic than me LMAO but i understood that every interaction is MANIPULATION some time ago... at 21
just putting this so i'll remember it "people need to understand each other so they stop judging each other and putting their little biases together and thinking that people are wrong or inferior or inadequate or broken. When in reality, they just don't understand each other. Because if you understand everybody's reason for doing anything, you can't really get mad at them for being who they are, at being who their human nature has them to be. By understanding them, that makes you a better person. " 10:03 best part of the video so far. Reason why i wanted to understand not ONLY myself but also others. Thanks Chase!
My husband always get ISTJ on the test but he's not like that at all. Upon watching numerous of your videos, he seems more like ISFJ. And then I watched this whole series and it confirms he is an ISFJ.
I've tested as a lot of things from an INFPs, to an INFJ & INTP. It's nice to actually learn about the reasoning behind determining someone's type. This makes a lot more sense to me than answering a bunch of questions. Now I can understand why I am an INFP than because it's what the test told me.
Incredible how you are expressing many things I was intuitively thinking/perceiving (I've been interested in MBTI for a while) but not sure if I could have phrased it so clearly. It's like I feel really connected to the way you are presenting these videos. I could say though that you have your "own logic" and not that it is "true" and sometimes you put much emphasis on some aspects and not on others aspects. However overall, it's like you give us the ability to consider the whole system and how the differents parts interact on a logical manner (Ti) which is really balancing my Fi vision, as giving me another approach, while responding to my Ne needs. I'm really impressed. I think I've been uncousciously looking for data on Mbti for a long term, not just people experience, but also a global thinking and a deep thinking about it. I'm French and you're obviously American, but I feel really connected to what you're saying, on the other side of the world ;)
As an ENFP - I find you so confronting and analytical and direct and it terrifies me but - I respect how thorough and BULLSHIT FREE you are; The lack of feeling that an ENTP displays is entirely made up for *in my unpopular opinion* with the sheer amount of effort that you've gone to in order to understand others and how they are different to you, so that you don't piss people off on a daily basis that you aren't compatible with. I really am beginning to think APATHY is the true EVIL in society at the moment - feeling can really get in the way of logic a lot of the time, and rational behaviour, which i've noticed often makes people clam up and do nothing at all in a serious situation, which can actually do more damage to people than just being direct and cutting people out of your life entirely that you don't click with. Thankyou C.S.Joseph! This channel has, completely transformed my ability to interpret the different perspectives i have of others; in an incredibly helpful way. I feel like now i can actually understand why and how others are coming to entirely different outcomes to me when given the exact same instructions or expectations about how to to have something completed.
You have no idea the amount of joy you just brought me. I've been studying these ideas/concepts for years! Trying to break down people's cognitive functions is so difficult. Wow!! I just typed so many family/friend within seconds! I'm amazed! Great job with this video and thanks for your hard work! 🙏
Love your simple approach to personality typing. So many systems get too complicated and people often get lost. The principles get lost and communication never improves. Keep up the great work!
Love your videos, dude. First of all, I’ve only typed INTJ and INFJ on the official MBTI (with assessment), easily tested INTP on freebie tests and certainly AM an ENTP. So, I get it. Now of course since I know what I did wrong and purposefully chill out when I test and answer based on how I am in my “flow state,” I only test ENTP. I certainly know how and (now) why we can mistype! Ne can mess with your head, because we see possible truths in multiple answers and don’t always know what is *most* true for us. I’m highly literate, INTP intelligent and if I can screw the tests up with help of master practitioners, people who have no knowledge of typology, certainly can. Plus when I mistype, I can convince myself and anyone else that it’s my type (sorry, master practitioners).
Love all your videos and channel! Great job and keep the good work up! I'm an INTP and your videos helped a lot! I feel very sad when I see some random shit vlog channels are getting so much attention, while this amazing channel and knowledge gets passed on.
I think I just now have a PhD on personality types watching season 1 and 2 in like 2 days. Amazing work, now I definitely know I'm an INTJ and I can now start typing everyone around me (need to calm down that Ne nemesis, right?). You now earned a new subscriber.
Now you make me doubt my type. Always tested as INTP and was able to relate to it. But when you talk about insecurity I see myself more in how you describe INJs. I'm more conscious about looking bad and giving a bad impression than making people feel bad. That's why I am much more image-oriented to what the INTP stereotype says. I actually do things so i can e more competent or charismatic or simply better.
I am an INTP and I understand your observation. Some of the INTPs, either because of parents or siblings, will become aware of how society uses clothing to communicate specific concepts. Once and INTP recognizes this, they can simply learn to exploit it, and it to the list of anxieties and other things that need to be managed on an ongoing basis. :)
Super awesome video. Can't believe it boils down to a simple multiplaction table but it makes complete sense. Always wondered how you sized people up so quickly, now I know.
As an IxTJ I have found this very beneficial as a way to deal with people in a manner that is effective for both parties. For example, I have a very emotional ENFP teacher who can become quite irrational once his Fi is violated, and is known for his bipolar tendencies. However, by recognizing and respecting how his mind processes information and then makes decisions, I can effectively communicate with him in a way that is not seen as impersonal/cold. This is mutually beneficial and has prevented me from being the subject of his emotional outbursts and deepened the quality our conversations as I know what I should and shall not say. Lastly I do agree that if more people respected and became aware of the cognitive functions people would get along better. I could never really understand why some people blindly stood by ineffective/outdated rules or how someone could be deeply effected by another’s emotions. Instead of judging them (what I used to do lol) with Jungian Psychology you can learn to understand and appreciate the human brain. Thank you CS Joseph for making these videos!
The last five minutes of the video is why it is worth listening to the thinking and ideas of the ENTP, once they’ve laid out the ‘what’ and ‘how’ they reveal the ‘why’ and their passion for people, which others rarely see because it can be confronting or too hard to get past the first round of ‘information’. If you want to communicate less ‘harshly’ with some types, I think mainly F’s, I would reverse the order, go ‘why’ and then ‘what’ and ‘how’. Great video! 🤙
Honestly in the world we live in it's necessary to pretend in order to create harmony. I really like that you illustrate this because there's enough head-butting going on, and it's really time to gain a higher level of understanding instead of just ignorantly being ourselves and not adapting. Adapting is strength, to be able to put yourself in the mind of another leads to growth. It's not lying it's transforming, and some people may disagree and say "if you're not being yourself you're a fraud" but it's like no.... I'm letting these traits have a place and appreciating them. There seriously is not enough appreciation going around, everything has a good and bad quality and to embrace both is really important.
I'm an INFJ, When I first did the test I got INTJ, the second time I got ENFJ which was very odd but later on I got INFJ.. I was confused but luckily there is this guy I know who knows a lot about typology and he said I was an INFJ, later on I watched videos and read articles, but I was sure I was an INFJ after watching (Who are the INFJs?) video on this channel
Althought I find his videos interesting, I feel compelled to write this... If you want to have a good SUPERFICIAL relationship with anybody, yes, you should pretend. But if you want to have a REAL and trusting relationship, you should be REAL with the other person
Attlas yeah this is not how real life actually works. All social interaction is a form of manipulation. Please watch the virtue and vice video on ENTPs
Attlas It depends on how you take the word "pretend". Pretend here doesn't mean lie your ass off & manipulate people into getting them the way you want. What Chase is trying to say is, just play the role the next person wants you to, only for a short time, for both of you to be on same page. Once that's done, you can be honest & real with them & they with you, giving the result you want :)
Yes Nachiket Pargaonkar. That is what we do to mantain a superficial relationship. When you are looking for a real relationship pretending will make you resentfull and unable to disclose your true self to the other person. That is why I distinguish between superficial and real relationship. As for the way I take the word pretend... I take it for what the word means. Pretend is what you do when you don't want to reveal the truth and you want the other person to belive something that is not real. You don't have to lie with words. You can just pretend you are happy by smiling when you are sad.
Oh my God I love this video so much I laughed a lot because of how insanely efficient this chart is. When you describe the 4 sides of that INTJ boss, that's where it struck me. Thank you for this video
"Oh, but you can't do that, because that is lying and deceitful." "It is called pretend." Best comment ever, made me lol. This is just everyday life, and it is so nice to hear someone say that.
Im INTP and im really good to judge people just by looking at them and i can adapt my way to talk to them, litherly can hang out with any person almost even if i like it or not. i usually not my normal self when im around people except few really close friends. I feel like INTP are really good to adapt to different personalities and how to talk to them but we rather not if we dont have to.
OMG, thanks you so much for everything you are doing. I finally typed someone who who has been tripping me up for a really long time and now it's like a lightning bolt, I finally understand everything! This is like fire burning away the lies. I don't even have enough thanks for this.
Best personality type channel I ever came across. Got suggested one of your videos and I’ve spent the past 2 hours watching your stuff. Keep up the good work!
Just took your personality test. Turns out I'm INTJ. I've tried watching INTJs videos to confirm, and finally I'm sure I'm neither ISTJ nor INTP. Now I can sleep. Gotta work tomorrow. PS: it's 1 a.m in my place. LOL.
Oh god, I relate. I have always thought of myself as an INTP (or maybe an ISTP) but now seeing this grid, I am thinking I might be an INTJ. I took his test too and got INTJ. I guess, I’ll read all about INTJs tonight lmao
@@wia8ja8j Lol. I used to identify as ISTJ myself, even laughed at INTJ weaknesses video, until I realised that I could hardly relate to ISTJ, and began watching more videos of other than ISTJ. I was narrowing down to ISTP, INTP and INTJ. And finally I concluded that I'm INTJ.
The way I see it the relevant question is not wether social manipulation in itself is good or bad, but what the intention behind it is. If we all learn about each others cognitive functions and upon that adjust our interaction it could certainly lead to mind blowing growth for humanity - I salute you!
Me again. Loved this chart. I adapt to what I sense about people all the time. Wouldnt call that manipulative. Manipulation means underhanded essentially. Getting along with people is understanding and the beginning of wisdom.
What a switch-a-roo!! For years, I thought I was ISFP. First test I took, it labeled me as INFP. Every test I took after that, I got ISFP, but I always felt I still needed to keep figuring it out. After watching this video, turns out I am an INFP. Does seem more fitting. I feel now that I can finally fully embrace that.
It's so refreshing to find someone with a razor sharp intellect and amazing speaking skills. A very rare combination and a great advert for the ENTP personality type.
Thanks so much for this. Honestly I've never understood the cognitive functions in depth despite trying to understand them. This makes things much easier and I have no idea why this method is not popular
I just want to take the time to say, thank you for your hard work and time that you’ve put into presenting these series. I’m finding them very helpful, and I like the way that you’ve got self-educated and then broken everything down in a sensible systematic way. I’ll be continuing to follow your work and study your material. If I were above breadline, I’d probably be buying your book and supporting your patreon etc. haha plenty of future time for that 🙂
man, you're channel is pure gold, I read a bunch of people on Reddit discarding your opinions, and at first, I was admittedly a bit skeptical of your interpretations as well, until I watched all your videos on the ISFP, I was shocked and frankly even disturbed, I literally cried at one point, you detailed almost thought by thought truths that I didn't want to admit to myself, but I knew very well they were real, my selfishness, my desire for approval, how easily I can bend my moral code when I'm hurt. Thank you.
I have taken the MTBI about 4 seperate times, years apart, the first time i didnt even know what the test was. Everytime i came out as an INFP. I fit it in every way. Pretty sure i am, thats why im weird and i dont quite fit anywhere 😂😂😂
Thanks to that test I finally got a confirmation for my gut instinct is correct. Every single test I've done ( and I've done quite a lot) types me as INTJ, but when I started my research on cognitive functions there was a lot of confusion as I found a lot in common with INTP and ENTP. The only thing that sets me apart is the fact I've grown to become extremely systematic and organized and I never miss a deadline despite procrastinating like hell. Your test is the first one that confirms I'm INTP.
It seems that you're talking about two very different things simultaneously. When it comes to adjusting our behavior so we can communicate effectively in the give and take of relationships, and treating someone how they want to be treated, that's a whole different thing. The example you gave of the INTJ sounds like you're building him up, even if it's not entirely sincere. But we do lots of things that aren't entirely sincere just to keep the peace. Knowing someone's needs and meeting them is a good thing. Emulating another type is taking it too far, in my opinion. Knowing how that person ticks and acting accordingly is not the same thing as embodying a type they would better get along with. Thanks for the grid! I'm definitely going to add some stuff to it so I can compare all in one place. This whole concept is so much easier. I couldn't even type my own family the other way people are doing it. I'm glad you explained it further because just with the grid it's still a bit hard to narrow it down.
One thought to consider - everyone has some trauma in their life. It will make some interactions with these more complicated experiences in order to understand during the interactions. Takes time and empathy.
I love being an entp. Your videos just tickle me. And I love long videos. Would you do a video on what dating another entp would be like for an entp? I’m just curious.
See the thing about the big 5 test is that it’s also percentage based and the percentages can vary, plus it’s a boring test... But that’s the standard? 🤔🧐 Alright guy 😂
Thanks for helping a doubting ENFP out. I don’t like settling on one idea of myself, because then I become what I think am even if I’m lying to myself. I don’t know if I explained that concept well. I think it could be confirmation bias in psychological terms. Anyways, thank you a lot! I like how you pointed out the flaws of the system instead of stating things as a matter of fact. Very helpful! Edit: I commented this before finishing the video so I could focus and I have to add, you are great! I know you’re being completely serious but I can’t help but laugh because your logic makes total sense. I can already visualize people getting offended by it, but I appreciate the honesty.
On manipulation, of course you could do it selfishly, but its not immoral to avoid causing drama or hurt. i think you should be yourself but if you believe that then it would be somewhat hypocritical to not try and understand that other people are also being theirself, and if you want to have anything to do with them for any reason, your gonna have to try and get along, which means avoiding things that would cause uneeded trouble or harm and knowing what matters to them and makes them feel good.
@@CueBall5697 That's so true dude people don't know what they want, they only say "be yourself" because its the socially acceptable thing to do. (ENTP here)
Just taking a moment to say your videos are amazing. I've been searching for a channel that will explain it just like this. So much info to take in and you come across for me at least the best. 😉
