The 16 Personalities Test is a great fun starting point to introduce people to mbti but it mistypes all the time, bc it doesn’t focus on the mbti cognitive functions (i call them personality superpowers in my videos). We all have an introverted and extroverted side, an abstract and grounded side, a logical and emotional side and a spontaneous and more structured side. We are nuanced and very complex. 16 personalities looks at those splits in a very binary way that oversimplifies things and leads to some mistakes. The cognitive functions are more complicated to learn but for typing much more nuanced and bring a lot of accuracy. Anyways So when a newcomer is analyzing themselves with a test that isn’t focused on clarifying the nuanced motivations behind people’s introversion/extroversion/logic/emotions etc and instead just asks about outward behavior, it’s easy to get inaccurate mixed results. Felix getting INTJ on 16p just means that from his perspective not knowing about the cognitive functions, he sees in himself how he’s introverted, intuitive, logical and can be organized sometimes. But, if you break it down from a cognitive function perspective, the way Felix looks at things and sorts things out - his strengths are clearly the cognitive functions : Introverted Thinking, Extroverted Intuition, Introverted Sensing and Extroverted Feeling in that order for the reasons explained in this video. Those particular building blocks in that order match perfectly with the INTP personality type, not INTJ.
@@EricWen I 100% agree that 16 personalities test oversimplifies, he is very clearly an INTP! (i am also an INTP myself ^-^) thanks for sharing your thoughts
@@piyush4left INTP’s can be organized for the specific things they care about. And use a lot of Ne for fun. Especially when practiced all the time for your job.
We only see a fraction of who he is. Maybe there is more to pewds than we think. I feel like on camera he is different compared to his actual day to day life.
@@3arthandsky but that's the thing with online quiz, it isn't based on functions, so if he retake it and like chose "i like making plans", he could,again, get an J type. Because the test works that way. Since we are using functions I think we are a little more right than the test but we could still be wrong, too
Same, but I actually knew it because he kind of annoys me. But everything he does that annoys me is stuff I see quite strongly in myself. (Edit, that's not to say I don't like him, just that I find him quite abrasive sometimes. And I think a big part of that is because I know I'm annoying in that way a lot of the time too!)
The first time I saw Pewdiepie I typed him as an ENTP (like me). But the more I see his personal interviews, and not just the videos he churned out, I could see that his introverted thinking is higher in his cognitive function than his extroverted intuition. Interesting to see someone who is unapologetically himself rose to being one of the most popular youtubers of all time. Interesting, and very inspiring.
This was very interesting! My bf is an INTP and I’m an INFJ so sometimes we have a hard time understanding each other’s ways of thought. He will calmly question why I spend so much energy on caring for people I don’t even know or why I hold certain values in such high regard. Whilst I can’t even comprehend how anyone couldn’t care about these things and I’m unable to speak on these matters without displaying intense emotion. Your video helped me understand his thought-process a little better. Thank you for the care you put into your videos!
@@EricWen Yes! I like to think that we challenge each other in positive ways and that the relationship brings out a kind of healthy balance in each of us. :)
Honestly I've had many conversations with my own INFJ boyfriend like this and my reaction is also the same when attempting to verbalize haha. Relatable
Frank James doesn't really seem to understand how MBTI actually works. And he's definitely not an INFJ as he appears to believe 😅 He could use some education on cognitive functions.
@@punkyllama420 Frank James is quite popular and most of his videos are beginner friendly. While I do agree that he is not the best educational channel in terms of typology, he certainly has a knowledge about cognitive functions. He talks about it in some of his videos. However, he only briefly touches upon it.
As an INTP finally someone has explained our functions with clear, concise and accurate examples while keeping it nuanced enough to represent the unique distinctness. Thank you 🙏
As an ENFP, I really admire and envy introverted thinkers. I do find it hard to discuss movies with them though. After we leave the theater, they give me a brilliant breakdown of weak spots in the plot. Meanwhile, I didn't even notice the plot, just how the movie made me feel, or how one of the actors walks, or little irrelevant bits of scenery. Then I try to improvise opinions about the plot that I really didn't absorb at all and sound like an idiot, haha. But I very much enjoy their presence. I get tired of living so much in my feelings/random impulses and my introverted thinker friends give me a break from that.
I loved this video so much because it helped me be more certain that I am INTP. I've gotten in trouble in school for saying that other people's opinions were stupid, and then a bunch of kids got offended, I guess. I didn't mean it to be mean. I just meant that their opinions are insignificant in my life. I'm not the best with words. I guess Pewdiepie has gotten in trouble by doing things like that, too. Also, I'd like to say that I've seen you react to different people, and I've become a fan of them through you. Pewdiepie was the one person who I already watched and liked, and to know that he's an INTP, and not someone I didn't know before this is an INTP, makes it a lot more meaningful. I'm super happy to share a personality with Pewdiepie.
I’m an ENTP with extremely high Ti and I relate to Pewdiepie so much here in this video. I realize that the ENTP has the same 4 functions as the INTP and it’s been a struggle to know what I am sometimes, but I’m not usually an introvert. I think Pewdiepie is probably an ambivert INTP and I’m an ambivert ENTP. He is NOT an ISTJ though like he tested 😂😂😂 also Eric you deserve more subscribers, the content is great. You analyze things so well. I see myself in you.
Decided to comment for the algorithm. I just really appreciate the passion and effort you put into your videos. I'm super excited for your channel to grow because I think with all I have learned from you you definitely deserve to grow even more. You are producing excellent, informative and thorough content! I can't wait to see you produce even more personality videos like videos about how the different types behave in relation to each other etc. Excited for the possibilities!!
Me too! Thanks so much for writing that! :) I really pour everything I’ve got into these - thanks for noticing the effort! I really love this stuff and think it can really help a lot of people.
So far two of my most favorite people in my life are INTP's. My dad, and Disguisedtoast. Maybe this is a sign. They are so smart, so witty, and reliable people. Gotta love em.
I’m an ENTP and the TiFe clash has caused a lot of depression, confusion, and stress in my life. I value Ti over Fe and as a result I’m cast out from society. Most of my Ti values go against social norms and are unpopular opinions. People hate me. I also have high Fe so how I value myself is in how others feel about me. When people hate me then I hate myself. TiFe clash SUCKS.
@@miawinters2048 I just share my unpopular opinions. That’s it! I’m not trying to hurt people. I just think people are making some pretty stupid decisions that are ruining society and my thoughts about those things are unpopular. My Fe is telling me not to tell you what those opinions are. 😂 sorry.
@Yeabsira i say Fe and Fi doms are both dangerous. I’d actually rather have an Fe dom with all the people pleasing 🙄. As an Fe user (ENTP) myself...I get it. people pleasing can be annoying though. But I think that Fi doms and even Fi auxiliary user are worse. they get offended at my criticism and think I hate them. When my Ti values clash with an Fi values then really bad things happen. When a high Fi user has a stupid value that I dismantle they HATE me. My ex broke up with me over this cause she was an ENFP and I was an ENTP. She told me that I was too logical. 🙄😂 sooooo stupid.
@@conradsmith9441 i'm an infp and i don't like you indeed. You think you are better than others, that you know the whole truth and you choose to disrespect people's ego and feelings by hurting them with your blunt remarks. You should just get over yourselves and see why you 're failing. You are not gods, bad news for you.
@@kssgpv this is a strange comment, but ok. 😂 I never thought I was a God. I’m actually a religious ENTP. I tell you that there is only one God who knows all. I just THINK people that let there emotions govern them without thinking logically are much more likely to make mistakes. One thing about me is that I ALMOST never speak in absolutes. This is because I know I’m probably, at least partially, wrong. This is because I’m humble enough to know that I am wrong. It is easy for ENTPs to change their mind when they learn that a well known belief was proven to be a myth. We are constantly changing our minds because we know we are wrong. This is actually a characteristic of humility.
@@conradsmith9441 So.. another opinion here: I am an INFP-T. There was an ENTP in my class and at first I didn't liked him because he always discussed with the teachers and he was an attention seeker and often talked.. bulls*t. Lol. :D But after reading about his type I realised that he isn't that bad. I tried to get to know him more and I think I got under his "I am so loud, funny and smart" shell. And under this shell he was really different. I learned to don't always trust what someone says. Even when he had a different opinion from me or said something that sounded really wrong I think he only said it to confuse others or to get attention or to make people discuss with him. So.. don't feel bad because you are you. Not everybody needs to like you. And people who don't like you shouldn't make you don't like yourself because it is normal. Not everyone likes everyone. So.. I hope you feel a little bit better now. ^^
Funny is that I am an INTP AND a 7w6 like him. This type of combination to be an "INTP" and an "(Entertaining) Enthusiast" is so rare, even the personality database only shows him when filtering the search (yet)! 😄
I think you have the best way of explaining and analysis cognitive functions. I’ve been pretty lost with other channels especially when they’ve focused on stereotypes or making assumptions.
Eric I love your videos. I’ve been obsessed with mbti for a few months and you explain the cognitive functions so well and in such an easy way to understand! Thank you so much for doing what you do, I really appreciate your work. Also, I would love to watch videos of you explaining each of the cognitive functions in a detailed way, because your explanations are sooo good😆
Yeah I had my thoughts too. I’m an ENTP with high Ti. I really relate to Eric and see myself in him. My high Ti makes me an ambiverted ENTP. It’s why I’m a 5 enneagram as an ENTP too.
16:20 This sounds horrible to have to deal with and yet very relatable to so many INTP's i've run into. Disguisedtoast has talked about not fitting in around his highschool age, and resorting to things such as magic to make friends! It's amazing the ideas some INTP's will have to provide themselves comfort, yet passion in life. As an INFJ, I admire this logical yet creative way of thinking. I wish I was a creative person :')
I'm an INTP and I hardly ever find a group of people, if ever, whith which I feel part of it. I've had a lot of groups of friends, and a lot of friends, but it almost always feels like I'm an intruder, that I'm making the group worse in some way or creating too much tension in the group or just awkwardness. But when I've ask other people in the group they tell me they don't see that at all. I've always felt different, and that feeling grew stronger when as a guy, I started realizing I was attracted to guys. And I though that was the reason I always felt so different, but as time went by I realized I felt even more different to other gay guys than I did to heterosexual guys. There was a time in my teenage years where I started to read about mental illnesses to try to find what was going on with me. A few years later I discovered I was an INTP LOL and that explained a lot of things, my homosexuality only made some feelings of detachment from the group stronger. I wasn't going to relate to other guys my age in terms of interests, but I would not share even an interest in girls. So for some years I felt incapable to connect to other guys. I had some guy friends, but I had a terrible time trying to fit in in my field hockey team, for example.
I'm a gay male INTP as well and that was the story of my life. Sometimes it sucks knowing that my personality (INTP) already makes me an outsider, and then on top of that I also had to accept my sexuality. Not that I ever had anything against being gay, but it felt like another massive hurdle that was going to limit the amount of people I could relate to. . .
@@letBIGGIErest According to some statistics online the amount of male Ti dominants (ISTP and INTP) that are gay are the lowest of all types. On one hand this is can be a negative thing, as it might be harder to find others whom are similar to you. The most common type in gay men according to that statistic are Fe dominant men (ESFJ, ENFJ), which are pretty much the opposite types of INTP and ISTP. However, while this means there are many which are opposite of you and few similar to you, this should have an absolute benefit in the dating world, since these types often end up dating eachother and there are many more them competing for guys like you two than there are guys like you two competing to get guys like them.
I've been binging your videos and now I HAVE to finally comment! Despite if Felix believes this or not, I've been watching him for 10 years almost to date lol! And this is by far THE BEST analysis of his personality! Everything is so on point and makes a lot of sense! The little I to E change with his youtube persona is something even he has said to be true ! I'm amazed
Wow, having just watched your Billie Eilish video, I was surprised you’re an INTP. You empathize so well with your subjects in these videos I would’ve thought you were an INFJ. You’ve clearly learned to use your inferior Fe very well. Excellent work; you’re one of the best MBTI analysts I’ve seen. Subscribed! -INFP
Question; Would love to see an analysis on BTS member Namjoon, but I wonder if it would be hard typing someone when they; 1: mostly speak and express themselves in another language 2: speak extremely vaguely bc of their job, it’s very important to be mindful when speaking (would like to argue that does come naturally to him specifically tho, loves metaphors) Like i can see these things being a slight obstacle when typing someone, and it’s almost like there’s too much stuff out there to pinpoint what clips and interviews are the most telling of his thinking process🤣 so kinda just wondering if it would be possible to even do? Really appreciate ur pov!😄
Ti and Fe aren’t really opposites; they’re more so complementary. For example, INFJs often take very logical decisions for themselves, but decisions based on values for what affects others
If you have an underdeveloped inferior judging function, you’ll simply struggle to take decisions for others. « Do whatever you want, if it doesn’t affect me then I don’t care »
It makes so much sense that he's an INTP. Can you do one for someone with an ISFP personality? Im really interested to see how someone with the ISFP cognitive functions work especially with the Fi-Se /Se-Ni loop
I’m so thankful for your channel. Like seriously. I’m an INTP as well as Pewdiepie. I’ve had trouble seeing Ti in me, and I even debated whether I’m an INFP instead. But watching this video, it really made Ti make more sense to me. All the websites and videos that talk about Ti are so boring and long, and they don’t even make sense either. I’m so glad that you explained Ti in such a simple and easy way. Thank you! 🙏
Wow, I recently got really into MBTI and I've been thinking it would be great if some personality experts made analysis videos on youtube regarding the personality of celebrities, and then I found your channel. I am looking to learn more about the cognitive functions so that I can type people and seeing this kind of videos really give me insight on what to look for in people when trying to type them. Maybe in the future you can make analysis on the personality of fictional characters as well. Movies, tv series, anime. That would be interesting.
Before the video even started I said he’s an INTP, I relate to him so much, I’m and ENTP, so I knew the main difference was the introversion vs extroversion.
as an INTP, I wish it was easier to have a group of friends I've been in groups during school and college before, but I have a hard time connecting with the group as a whole and only connect deeply with the few individuals that have the same interests as I do for that reason, I only have like two friends that I actually like to talk to and hang out with, but I feel bad cuz they have many friends besides me lol and it's so hard to try to be friends with ppl that are different than me, feels so demanding to listen and be empathetic if I can't relate wish I had that sitcom for life type of friend group, but it's a tough life out there lmao
currently on a binge of your videos and they are so good, how are you so underrated? with that immaculate editing cute af and smooth animations and your fun personality and knack for explaining things so well i thought youd have millions of subscribers by now..
@@sudiprizal ah! interesting! I've only seen a couple min of him at a time during some Among Us videos. Didn't get much of a chance to see his personality or N or S show! Didn't Toast do 16 personalities one time and get some really weird results?
I think he's more of an ENTP. His Fe seems to be stronger than his Si. I also think he leads more with Ne than Ti. I see more of an Explorer personality. He also looks more extraversion dominant. Just my 2 cents.
As another INTP I can also confirm growing up I felt so differently to other people that I always thought that there was something wrong with me. It wasn’t until later when learning about personality types that I realised that I was different because I was an INTP and that there were many more people like me In the world. It feels good to be seen.
This whole video just explained me so well, whih is quite nice. I never felt like I didn't have enough friends in school, but I definitely felt like I couldn't always relate to people without lying/giving in to stuff I knew was dumb. Like there was genuinely a massive falling out that split the friend group in half over some fucking cupcakes once, but I couldn't just give in, because I insisted that queuing for an hour to pay $5 for a cupcake was ridiculous when you could, like, *make* cupcakes in less time than that, for much less money. I think I'm a bit better about it now, but I do still have to remind myself to stop and think before saying something offensive.
YES! 🙌 I hoped you'd do a video about him. I also "diagnosed"(that sounds weird but I don't know how to put that🙈😄) him as an INTP. I am an ENTP and I was pretty torn between the two INTP and ENTP. I identify alot with Pewdiepies personality and I think I still don't really get the difference.
with the way he communicates, i get the Extroverted Sensing-Introverted Intuition axis because he goes outward to inward. he's definitely pragmatic and down-to-earth, knocking INTP and ENTP off the table because they use Si-Ne and go inward to outward. i'd say he's more of an ISTP and an enneagram core 6 with a 5 wing, and this 5 wing helps with exploring new ideas and abstract stuff.
These last few videos have been absolutely fantstic Eric😍 Rare to find such clear breakdowns these days of the real beauty behind mbti function stacks. Love it when (Ti's) put down this insane amount of effort to provide pure gold for us lazy ones. Keep up the good work, and keep em comin! You're on the right track 👍
As an ENTP, this is actually so cool to watch. Everyone keeps on saying Felix is an ENTP but he is obviously very open to his fans about being an introvert.
@@EricWen I hope you can cover an ENTP celebrity to analyze in the future as well. I really respect the way you organize your points in every video bro. Great job!
Now that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is so popular, I would say make one of these analysis videos for Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie. Their interviews are also hilarious.
that face he makes when he is being accused is like: i think its really funny that i provoked such ceremonies of a group of people , i feel naughty and me not being allowed to laugh right now makes it even funnier
Hey I just found your channel and that was a great synopsis. Im an INTJ and some of my very best friends have been INTP. Somehow we just find each other, because we truly understand each other. It almost felt like you were describing me here. You have a gift of describing our overthinking, extreme uncomfort with ilogical choices/outlooks, and our inability to just turn all that off. It's not like its a choice. Alternatively, Im thankful I dont underthink, so theres that. Subscribed!!!!
Before he made more serious videos or videos that had more discussion in it, I really thought he was some type of feeler. When he started being more open and had more discussion around different topics, you can really sense his critical thinking side. I am also very sure he is an INTP. Great video!
Me trying to guess his personality on1:06 Maybe an ENTP 🤔 Me on 3:41 Maybe ESTP 🤔 Me on 5:58 Uhmmmmm ESTP makes sense 🤔 Me on 6:32 Oh yeah that makes sense !! So maybe an ENTP Me on 7:45 Oh dang he seams a lot like me ! Hahaha Me on 13:04 😭 I can relate with that !! 😭😭😭 It seams like a loseXlose situation. I hate that .. why can we all be accepted for our weirdness too ? 😭 ( I think that is probably my 4w3 speaking out loud) Why we always have to fit in a box ? Me at the end .. INTP uhmmm 🤔 maybe I’m not too bad at guessing it lol I like it ❤️
Just found the channel today and enjoying the nuanced take on the letters (never heard of introverted versus extroverted thinking, introverted versus extroverted sensing, etc.), but until this video was despairing of finding any personality combination that actually started with an I, as actors and entertainers overwhelmingly seem to be E's. I mean, to want to people-please on that scale you'd kind of have to be, or be good at faking it, or you'd be totally drained. :) I guess the only group of famous people who are more likely to be introverts may be writers and some visual artists? It's kind of like the way so many people on TV overwhelmingly prefer dogs to cats. It's not mutually exclusive, but which animal would gregarious people pick? Which animal would, if it could talk, be saying, "Guys! Guys! Guys!" all the time? ...not cats. :) I'm clearly older than the target audience for the channel and haven't viewed the entertainers who are barely on my radar, but I do really like your analysis style, probably because I also love analyzing other people's behavior because it's pretty foreign to me. I share that with Pewdiepie (a thing I never-ever thought I'd say) but from the Taylor Swift stuck-in-the-past video I recognize the Introverted Sensing, very memory-oriented thing also. People will ask how I can still remember every teacher and every classroom I ever had in school and I'll be like, "...I'm there now." Which may be a pathology, but it's how I store and process info. :) Anyway, you've gained a subscriber and I will set the bell to all notifications. Thank you for your content!
Thanks so much for being here and writing! So glad you enjoy the videos and really interesting to notice the ways you feel you relate to introverted sensing!
People have typed him all sorts of things online! I think INTPs are often typed by a stereotype, which even means some of us who are INTPs will mistype ourselves or others will mistype us. This is great!
As an ESTP female - thank you. Explaining Ti really helps. Of course, I love it. I suppose it's the Fe component where I sometimes really (!) miss the mark.
You definitely should do the streamer Tubbo. Many people aren’t sure if he’s an Thinker or an Feeler. He took the test once and got INFP but people still aren’t sure. Would be cool 😊
Great content as usual. Eric, would be awesome if you could do Jordan Peterson as well. (I think many people mistype him.) Would be great to get your input. Love these videos. We learn so much! Best!
I'm curious to see if anyone can relate: I'm 99.99% sure I'm an INTP and on the spectrum (that one was diagnosed). Everything about the INTP descriptions from the stereotypes to the memes to the functions fits... ...except the bluntness that people like Felix displayed in this video. My Fe seems to be pretty good at least in terms of recognition of emotions and how to respond but with the caveat that it feels like I'm following a script rather than coming from a place of genuine feeling (i.e. "I know I'm meant to say this so I'll say it"). In fact in most cases even when I could respond with logic I'll respond with this script instead. At the same time there are things about interpersonal reactions that I definitely don't get right, even things I know better about like if someone says Hi to me and my name I'm meant to say Hi and their name back but I can only manage the Hi. I think I'm just overthinking and it's just a different manifestation of inferior Fe but another part of me thinks "what if I'm wrong about this as well". Like the nature of INTP is we question and overthink everything and I take it so such an extreme (like almost Cartesian level) that I've largely given up being sure of anything and I just describe what I think as "the best model I currently have". Anyway I'd love to see if anyone's had a similar experience.
Yup similar approach for me too. I feel like I use the “script” to try to express emotionally what I’m trying to say. Like over time I’ve learned little things I can say or do to emote and express myself more or better by learning social rules and navigating them as best I can. And now it’s gotten to the point where I’d say I’m actually pretty socially adept in my own logical cautious INTP way. Especially if it’s one on one.
