This was great and in depth. That said, I'm thinking you would save a LOT of time if you used Linda Beren's Interaction Style method. If you master that, you would only need an interview or two to tell someone's type with accuracy (without looking at hours and hours of videos of their behavior). The wording patterns are very consistent with types and are something they can't fake. Much more accurate than behavior (because behavior can be faked, especially for actors). Curious if you've looked into interaction styles.
As an ENFP I can usually instantly tell when a celeb is also one - I can feel it intuitively just hearing them speak. With Pedro I was so confused because he felt so close to ENFP, but the energy around his emotional expressiveness felt off even though everything else was there. This makes total sense, problem solved 😂
Yes I am also an ENFP and I initially thought Pedro was one too but I remember when I saw the airport clip before it was used in this video, I began to wonder if he actually was ENFP because there is no way I would have kept that calm and been able to sign autographs for fans after if I was in Pedro's situation.
like Grimes, right? she's an extreme example, but it's useful to compare Pedro to her to contrast both the ENTP and ENFP types. not to stereotype all ENTP's, but as an ENTP with ADHD, I think both of them kinda give off similar cr4c head energies (lol) but with different vibes... The guy from the Cognitive Personality Theory channel is always describing the difference between Fi/relational empathy and Fe/mirror empathy. To me, it's obvious how Grimes is more sure of her identity and her feelings about stuff in a very conscious way, so she's more Fi, while Pedro is a more outwardly empathetic performer who seeks to take responsibility for other people's feelings, at least cognitively speaking. He's more anxious and insecure of his own emotions. It's like the guy from CPT said (sorry I forgot his name he's a cool guy 😭) though I don't think he has typed Pedro directly, Pedro is that empathetic subtype he described on a video over three years ago, with developed Fe who strays away very strongly from the ENTP soci0p4thic archetype (which, like, 99% of us ENTP's aren't that, it's just that some of us do feel fake from time to time, with a much less developed Fi). edit: sources: Compilation of Grimes oversharing in interviews ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mjZ0HQA-SSM.html The ENTP Empath: A Different Perspective by CPT ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-65B_uURxZyg.html
That’s why he gets cast in the roles he does. He plays the serious thinking, plotting types because that’s how he expresses himself emotionally as an actor
I’m an INFJ and observing him, I can tell that when he’s calm , it definitely means theres way more going on in his mind than “Let me make you laugh all the time.” And I have the same coping “Dark humor to lighten the mood” joking ways too. 😂🖤 But either than that, I love his silly/humble personality!
I'm an INTP and my mother is an ENFP, and honestly, this makes so much sense. I think you're dead-on. ENTPs can be so delightful, and I'm glad you did this because Pedro is truly a great example of how ENTPs can bring others such joy and comfort when their motives come from a place of love. He's chaotic, but in all the very best ways.
You missed one thing: he’s empathic. He watches the mood/atmosphere of the room, working to keep it comfortable. It was originally a trauma response, but most likely morphed into ‘personality trait’. ❤ it’s why so many people love him; they feel comfortable and accepted around him.
Love Pedro :) I've been stuck for years between typing myself as ENFP or ENTP. I settled recently on ENFP but this has me questioning it again- ha. They're often described as being so distinct in energy but I could write a dissertation on why I feel torn in terms of functions. I guess it's hard to see yourself objectively. I also find it harder to type my brother, for example, than acquaintances.
It’s totally ok for it to take a while before feeling confident on your type! Happy to help anytime if you wanted a teaching session or maybe some people in the discord server could help you out!
From an ENFP, I think the biggest outside difference (from observation) between us and ENTPs is my unwillingness to argue. I know this is a cliche about ENTPs, but coming from an ENFP I feel it to be true. If I have a disagreement with a person, I'm not going to argue with them my perspective, at least not for long. I don't care to change people's minds or opinions, I don't care if someone thinks I'm right or wrong. I know internally how I feel, my intentions and what I believe to be true. I do like explorative debates, just ponderings, but it's not on anything I personally believe. If I'm passionate about something and someone is tromping on something so important to me, I would leave. I would not debate my side. I feel like ENTPs are more likely to express their views in a more stubborn prolonged manner. It's not worth my time, because like I said, I don't care what you believe.
I have no idea who Pedro Pascal is, but I watched this video and knew he was an ENTP in five seconds. He and my boyfriend could have the same mannerisms and charm and he's an ENTP too. They even look alike.
Wow! Aren't you the lucky one! Now, to blow your mind - you should watch him act in either The Last of Us (On HBO) or maybe Narcos (the seasons he's in). I'd recommend The Mandalorian, but he's mainly voice acting there (he's rarely the actual person in the costume) and the costume completely covers the actors' (3 of them) faces. The characters he plays are absolutely nothing like him. Pedro is also very cool in that he is VERY supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and has a sister who is trans.
@@i_love_rescue_animals Pedro is suppotive of LGBTQ because he is a member. As he's gotten so famous, I don't think he can keep it quiet anymore. He's never been in the closet, just private. He had no problem being seen with his boyfriend at a recent Hollywood event, but no photos were released. However, now he's followed by photographers all the time and they will eventually publish a picture. It's just a matter of time.
@@kp4911 Hmmm, interesting - especially when he was photographed and allegedly dated at least a couple women. Maybe he's bi or pan? Or the women were beards? (I know his good friend Sarah Paulson is gay and they are just close friends - obviously.) Doesn't matter to me (and isn't really any of my business). But saying he's supportive of LGBTQ "because he's a member" makes sense, but isn't really fair to those of us that aren't members, but ARE supportive. I know MANY straight people who are very supportive of the community. 💕 Good for him to keep his private life private.
@@i_love_rescue_animals same for his ADHD. I love the way he's so inspiring for us neurodivergent and queer ppl but hate the way people ask him invasive questions and start recording him without asking first, like, i saw this video of a guy accosting him about his Starbucks order with extra ice and six shots of espresso after it went viral 💀
@@i_love_rescue_animals it's very weird when celebrities are queer and people are too nosy. like, culturally we have this dichotomy between LGBT people and allies, but to be one or the other you have to be somewhat open about your private feelings (which is okay but it's not for everybody, at least bit easily, like, where's his Fi lol) or be somewhat politically outspoken (which, again, is good but is something that is not for everybody). He's obviously an ally politically, at least in a more inclusive sense, it's just that people can't see the nuance and want him to pick a side. Either come out or don't be so girlypop. This is like biphobia, gender roles and internalized homophobia (cringe)
Great video, Eric! I work closely with an ENTP doing some local business and marketing education, and this video really hits the nail on the head of a lot of the similarities and differences we've discovered as we've got to know each other better.
Great video. I love the process you go through and how you easily you describe why you think Pedro is an ENTP. You're making MBTI with cognitive function easier to understand for those who may not get it yet.
He's my twin 😁 I took the test a couple of times and the T/F flipped once. I am an ENTP but Thinking/Feeling was always very close, like 52/48 or 51/49. It all make sense now ☺️
INFP here-or at least I think so. Now I wonder if I’m an INTP based on your example here-i tend to give an unemotional, detached fact based account of very intense events. Feelings only come out in relation to other peoples stories-and then the feelings can get deep pretty fast. Music and movies can also move me very deeply. I cry a lot-yet I’m much more intellectual with how I view my own feelings. So interesting. Thank you
I really relate to this. A couple of years ago I did the test and came out at INTP but like a week ago I did the test again and it was INFP so ??? So personality can definitely change over time? Or there’s parts of you that come out at different times? Depending on your mood, that’s what the test will show. Lol.
@@aemeraldrainc I think we have a fundamental personality but have the ability to adapt if necessary. I was going through a rough time a few years ago and had to take a job that wasn't me. I retook the test at that time got ENFJ? For my job and I had to be more extroverted and more judging so it was interesting to see my personality adapt and what shifted in me for a time. Ultimately I had a nervous breakdown in the breakroom and quit. Luckily there was another job around the corner much more suited for my introvert self.
@@aemeraldrainc So yeah I definitely think we can change and adapt our personality to fit situations and our moods at the time of taking the test can definitely influence the outcome but we also have a core personality that it is our truest self.
@@Incognicia right. For sure. I’ve also recently been diagnosed ADHD and I know that affects personality as well. I totally relate to having to adapt to work situations and deal with things differently to be able to do your job. I think for people with ADHD, that’s masking. I’m just starting to recognize how everything is related and it took me so long to even do that and now I just need to learn how to manage it. Sorry for going on a tangent. Just wanted to say I relate. :)
Would love to see you type Austin Butler. I feel like he's being mistyped on the internet. He has talked a lot about being painfully shy as a child and overcoming it by learning to focus more on others rather than focusing on how he's feeling - other conscious rather than self conscious. I feel like this could affect how people type him - seeing him as an extroverted feeler rather than an introverted feeler etc. (I'm no expert but that's just the obvious example in this instance!)
@@EricWen I really don't know. I'm not confident typing anyone - myself included! But I don't really think it's ISFP which I what I see being mentioned most places.
This finally answers my question! I thought all this time he was more of an F than an T, but I'm still quite not sure because I haven't seen him serious, as what that TMZ video shown. I avoid watching that since I don't really watch videos that come from the "paps" because most of the time they invade personal space. I knew for a fact that he was an E because of what he said in that interview where his "friends were the ones who took care of him during the pandemic." As an INFP, I like his personality so much and he makes me laugh all the time. But there's just something about him being funny on interviews like I feel like it's a front or just something conceal whatever it is. I wish I have a friend (or someone special lol) like Pedro Pascal. Thank you for this!
As an Infj, who grew up around ENTPs and ENFPs, I can confirm that he is an ENTP. There’s no way he’s an ENFP!! He is a trickster and likes to provoke people, does it all the time, in all of his interviews, all interactions, but in a charming way 😊 Also, I don’t know what it is, but ENTP males adore having mustache ( Andrew Shulz) and it does make sense on them 😂
Hmmm I’m getting confused about myself. I’m an INFP (from as far as I understand cognitive functions), but I assumed the thing about turning “on” people mode was a Fi thing? Usually I’m very distant and may seem cold on the outside, but as soon as I’m around others I have to remind myself to express what I’m feeling or thinking on the inside. Whenever I forget I frequently get comments like “are you okay??” or people thinking I’m sad/mad when that’s just my resting expression and responses. My friends have told me I can give a cold answer like “oh that’s nice” and then switch the next second and light up “Oh no, I genuinely think it’s really nice!!”. This happens frequently, and it’s not because I don’t think the subject is not nice, I just forget to express how I feel on the inside on the outside. It’s a very conscious effort for me. I feel inauthentic by not expressing how I feel on the inside, but at the same time trying to act out my inner feelings also feels inauthentic ?? AAAA IM SO CONFLICTED. Comments please help 😭
I am very confident about being an Ne & Si, but not sure about the others as much. Extra info: I’m very opinionated and can bring up my opinions to my own detriment even if I know the other person disagrees strongly, altho I may frame my words differently as to not seem like I’m attacking them or their views. I never really spill things by accident, everything is a conscious thing but sometimes I’ll play off like I’ve spilled something by accident. I do sometimes accidentally let my emotions slip through, but it’s on very rare occurrences or if I’m especially drained or not thinking right.
Everything you’re saying doesn’t sound like Fe at all but instead definitely sounds like Fi. I wouldn’t overthink it too much! Perhaps If you watch more videos of Timothee Chalamet or Andrew Garfield - see if you relate?
I couldn’t agree with your analysis more! As an INTP, this video explains why I find Pedro so relatable! I only wish I had his charisma and more developed extroverted feeling side!
I've been pretty sure for a few years now that I'm an ENFP, but the things in the video that you said I can really relate to. I've always been deeply emotional, but I've never felt my emotions as something concrete. If someone asks how I'm doing, there's such a broad range of things to say that I never know which it is that I'm feeling. I never know if I'm upset or just confused, happy or just flustered. I'm always thinking about how I feel, but I rarely know for sure. But when I see some other person, I instantly adapt to what THEY'RE feeling, because I immediately know. If they're feeling happy, I'll act all bubbly, regardless of how I was feeling prior. And if they're upset, I feel upset, no matter how good the day was before. I'm also constantly begging for feedback, in hopes of a compliment or something I can improve on. I want to be myself, but I want myself to be what others want, if that makes sense. Does this mean I'm actually an ENTP? Or can other ENFPs here relate to this? I'll have to do some research on this. (In case it helps, I'm a 2w3!) Anyways, really cool video!! Pedro is awesome.
I think I’d need more context and information to say for sure. some things id think about: How much do you think about wanting to contribute to or improve how other people are feeling? When you say you can become bubbly or adapt, is it because you're trying to make them feel a certain way? or is it just feeling needy or wanting to fit in sometimes? (normal for everyone i think)
@@EricWen Yeah, I'm totally an MBTI beginner, so I don't really know the questions to ask myself, haha.. I think when I adapt to their emotions, it's mainly an empathy thing? Like, being in a room full of happy people makes me happy, being in a room full of angry people makes me irritable, etc. Then again, it's partially to be more likable, more tailored to them so they want to talk to me. And when I make someone else's day, that makes my day. If they like talking to me, I feel like I have more value as a human being. I'm constantly trying to figure out what the best thing to say to specific people is, even if I don't always get it right. You know, I'm quite good at Enneagram, but MBTI is like a whole new territory. All these things I'm saying make total sense for a 2w3 ("The Host/Hostess," naturally), but I have no clue how it relates to MBTI in any way. Your channel is really helping! I love seeing personality typing systems applied, and you do a great job of explaining why you do what you do and how other people experience the world in different ways!
I just wanted to watch a normal video about a celebrity but honestly I have learned a lot more about myself now as an ENTP. I have always thought I was supposed to be a ENFP for a long time because I have been described by others as bubbly, goofy and animated much like Pedro Pascal. In reality I am just appealing to other peoples emotions to validate how they feel while in reality my default is to not be very expressive. Sounds very people pleaser type personality to me but I just like to match peoples vibes yo. Anyways, very cool video, it was in depth and interesting to look into the personality of a celeb as well as learn a few things along the way.
So awesome to read this! Thanks for sharing! So glad the video was able to show yourself new things about yourself beyond just talking about Pedro - that was my hope!
Really enjoyed the graphic you came up with for the "bounce" between auxiliary and tertiary functions. It's like the 3rd function mainly "orbits" the 2nd, but occasionally the tertiary function takes over as you get practice navigating with it. IN_J personalities have the thinking/feeling bounce too, so it was fun comparing Pedro's with mine as an INTJ. Great work Eric, and hope to see another EN_P analysis soon! Maybe around that celeb's birthday? 😉
I think the stereotype for "nitpicky disagreeable" and "debator" fits more with ESTJs and INTPs because of inf fx and being thinker first, specifically having ne-si as functions being more balanced makes them more snarky and trolly compared to entps who have balanced Fe
As an ENTP myself, I was rooting for him to be one as well! I get the "ENTPs are trolls" and I was a bit like that when I was younger...but people grow (I'm 36yo now) and we learn how to understand the way we affect others, and how to use it for things other than install chaos. It's funny that you've mentioned the way he can look detached, almost bland, because that's something my friends accuse me of as well... so I can attest to this apparent calm baseline with bursts of action. Thanks for doing such a great job in explaining each type and portraying all of them in such a nice way! I like how you never seem to judge any as evil or annoying by default, even when they are INTJs or ENTPs 😂
YES!! Thank you for identifying that my ENFP uses sort of a balanced Fi and Te. I thought I was ENTP for a long time, and when I take the MBTI quizzes, my F/T is usually close to 50/50. For me, the difference is in how we make decisions. We may talk about things from a feeling or thinking way, but if we have to make a decision, it's absolutely based on introverted feeling.
I am an ENTP-A and I recognized myself with Pedro SO much, I knew there was something going on there. Now I have peace and if you ask me, our personalities are amazing. Also I'm hyper ADHD, leaning more on the Tony Stark side, but I feel like he's also like that on his free/alone time.
Thanks for covering Pedro, Eric! He's definitely an NTP type, but leans more towards Extroversion. I reckon that Joel would be an ISTJ, since he's more subdued and serious.
I love his calmness in stressful situations. There's celebrities who would be pitching fits at the airport and acting immature. He's like Grogu meditating on that boulder in The Mandalorian.
this was a super informative and well made video, even though i dont know much about pedro pascal i still was able to learn a lot about the mbti types!! thanks eric you're great :)
What a wonderful interview and discussion on these MBTI types and cognitive functions. I discovered your channel through the RU-vid algorithm. Fascinating!👋👋👋
What a wonderful interview and discussion on discovering your personality type. I discovered your channel through the RU-vid algorithm. Fascinating!👋👋👋
Oh my gosh this makes me so happy, as an ENTP myself it's so awesome to see another ENTP like *him* 🥹 when yeah ENTPs could stereotypically be seen as overbearing debaters jwbsjdjdjfn this makes me love him even more
This is an awesome video, as always, the only thing I would say is that I’d be interested to see you type Ben Shapiro as there seems to be a LOT of opinions on his personality type. Most think ESTJ, others think INTP/ENTP.
I can't believe YT recommended a video analyzing Pedro Pascal's personality based on a non-scientific method.... I'm still watching it, though. It's fun! Just like learning your star sign and such :)
I was going to offer this opinion before you brought it up at 11:49 - as a person with ADHD, I've suspected Pedro Pascal has ADHD. I took the MBTI test a decade ago and I'm ENFP. I thought Pedro Pascal was ENFP with ADHD like me! LOL Maybe he's just an ENTP. Gosh... maybe I'm an ENTP.... 😅
Also I have the feeling that some ENTPs like to make a "parody" of something, in some clips where he is being expressive, is not him but more like a character, he just wants to laugh with someone about the weirdness of everything.
I don't know what's my personality but I always thought that Pedro was a lot like me, but not from what he shows. I could never explain. Thanks for showing me I'm not crazy.
Glad you’re back! Your analysis videos are the only ones I trust enough not to reanalyze… If your Ti allows it please upload more!🙏 Also an sfj male video would be interesting. A Shawn mendes or an Ed sheeran
I saw someone post on Twitter how his liaugh reflects trauma and the poster hoped he'd heal it some day--and I think the way you notice his feelings aren't internally motivated is a parallel phenomenon...Also, some people call ENTP "The Debater" which goes with all the questions he was asking...thanks for this video!!
It makes me sad for him. He has experienced the tragic loss of his mom who he said was the love of his life, being separated from him family and struggling to make it so long he probably does use humor to cope.
I actually have a hard time, identify if I'm a F or T, because I very expressive, and usually people tend to think in T as blunt, and inexpressive. But I'm not very emotionally honest and spontaneous with people I don't know, and when I speak about my feeling is more like - yes this is my feelings -
Have you tried discussing this with some of the people on the discord server yet? Some people have been able to sort thru some of their type confusion there!
you could have made this video about me -- i could re-edit this with footage of me and change "Pedro" to "Cody" and and it would be 100% accurate lol great analysis, loved watching this
First time I took the test I was ENTP and Pedro weirdly reminds me of a younger me (despite being 20 yrs my senior). Curious to take it again and see if that type still aligns!
Can you do a video analysis of the personalities of the Kardashians? I know they’re controversial and everything but they were famous FOR their personalities (aside from their affluent lifestyle). I know the sisters are different in various ways but I’d be curious to see a Myers-Briggs analysis 👀
I wish you could do the analysis of a korean actor Cha Eun Woo. The interesting part about him is that he claims he has two personality types, INFJ and ENTJ. I wish you could solve the mystery😄
found recently that i resonate more on entp. all these sites and videos impressions about entp's are unagreeable and that's not what I usually am. i show my emotions base on others and personally I can't describe my emotions pretty well.
I stumbled upon your channel by complete chance, but I had to subscribe. I love this concept of you trying to figure out someone's personality! Would be really cool if you'd do one on Evan Peters one day, or Emilia Clarke perhaps.
Hmm I do think that FI also has the capacity for a certain detachment, where you can see them describe what they feel without seeing what they feel, this is not as apparent with the FE users, who seem to express it on their faces also. Not sure, I consistently type as ENFP but I am also quite detached so Idk
The MBTI definitely has its cons, but it was my firat love personality-wise. I really appreciated this video. Have you ever done/will you ever do a vid analysis on Cody Ko? My guess for him is an ESFP.
This is a great video! I've been watching several videos of yours these past few months and I like how you explain each known individuals' personalities in precise manner. I hope you can also assess reviewbrah's (reporteroftheweek) personality type. He's very articulate and mysterious guy and I'm curious about his mbti too! :))
