Watch me take the 16 Personalities test: Does this thing work? 

sadly it seems like there's not a lot of people who know me well? Or they just hear/see what I try to portray myself as and hence they form similar perceptions about me as how I think about myself? 🤷‍♀️

1) thanks for tge tips 2) I litterly see this live and see Scenic Fights back to back😂

4. Read the book "Remodeling The Mind: Personality In Balance". I may just be shilling for my friend but it really is a good handy resource chock full of newer neuroscience and helpful INFP-style analogies. If your type never "clicked" before, her descriptions of the functions are likely to make you recognize yourself in the ones that apply to you.

Thank you so much Kristin! I really appreciate this!

Thank you for this! Just wanted to say, if you ever offered typing sessions, I would be interested :)

Agreed, sensors are just as intelligent as inuitives, they just simply rely on their external surroundings than on internal theories.

makes sense why i get typed as infj

My brain is pretty simple and I like it. I don't have unwanted thought or anything

EXACTLY

​@@paulo_9423 oh my god thisss. I don't really know why people put so much emphasis on the N/S part when both are equally capable but just execute it differently. Don't know if this has got something to do with me being an isfp, but I still really like how I don't think much (that sounds really bad lol, of course when the time comes when it's required to thoroughly think ofc I'd try harder). I enjoy it when it's simple because I get to learn more when I execute or experience something myself. I'm definitely aware I'm not that smart but I'm very much satisfied with my current abilities and wouldn't trade it for another 👁️👁️

That's why as a consequence someone who is open to new experiences can get an "N" type, but actually be a XSXX. Just an example.

Yeah I got INTJ-T on 16P which means I’m RLOEI, but my actual mbti type is ISFP

right like they made a big 5 test and called it MBTI

I always get ENTP and that’s because I’m SLUEI. In reality I’m probably an ESTP

That's what I was thinking. I'm RLOEI or RLOAI and I've always got INTJ-T and INFJ-T on 16 personalities test, but I'm actually an INTP who tries to be organized and empathetic. I was bored so I did the correlation between MBTI letters and Big 5 letters. BIG 5 / MBTI S - E R - I N - S I - N A - F E - T O - J U - P L - Turbulent C - assertive

Funny that this one joke question sent me down the "it depends" rabbit hole, since I have asked both these questions clearly my likelihood of doing so for either is 100%, if we are to alter it slightly so most likely is read as most often then it would depend on factors like do I have someone who commonly makes dinner for me? have I repeatedly encountered dismissive responses when trying to engage in abstract discussions? Do I actually care when form of food I will be eating? Have I learned that asking about trivial things is the accepted behaviour to put people at ease? So whilst a discussion on what the meaning of life or if life has a meaning seems much more interesting, what is for dinner? would come up much more often.

@@KarlJeager IT WAS A JOKE KARL, IT WAS A JOKE

I agree with you on that

​@@moriyahviera6444I think they were joking, I think she knows her own type, as she knows the cognitive functions well, and she seems like an ESFP, ENFPs are often more introverted.

My ISTJ dad was an electrical engineer and he's very intelligent and has an excellent memory and can be somewhat creative. He was a little strict though I didn't mind as an ESTJ, and he's gotten better at being open to other people's ideas and he lets his kids make our own decisions of course because we're adults. ISTJ is a common type but it's not like they're in the majority.

Oh my, am I that early? 🧐🤣

Thanks, Simone! Very glad you got something out of it 😁

the problem isnt se-doms. the problem is se-doms who think they're better than everyone because they "can live life". kristin most definitely doesn't belong in this category. yeah my brother is an estp and i'm still in trauma

@@Notjust-T "I respect black people but I don't support them"

you're probably an Ni-Fi jumper (ops)

literally same as an intj I typed myself as infp for the longest time

I am an INTJ however the test gave me INFJ many times and I was convinced that I was an INFJ

I’m an ENTJ, but that test had me convinced I’m an ENFJ because I have a high emotional intelligence and it made it sound like ENTJs are horrible with people and only can offend and don’t care what anyone else thinks. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I’m an INFP and the official MBTI I took in college said I was an INTJ because that’s how I perceived myself. I value logic, but I tend to make decisions based on feelings. Plus I’m definitely Ne-Si and not Ni-Se; at its worst, Se seems reckless and Ni seems manipulative (obviously this isn’t true for everyone with these functions, just like everyone with Si doesn’t have a stick up their butt)

im a living proof that i was an intuitive who got mistyped as a sensor

Brett Cooper from the Daily Wire took it and got ESTJ and she's probably an ENTJ

@@sarahberknerit’s so rare to see others who watch Brett Cooper in the wild lmao

When I took the test it told me I was 92% sensing.

I got around 50/50 but intuitive slightly more ​@luckyshaye

I'm an entp too, and just for fun I do this test every couple of months to see what it gives me, to this test I'm a INFP, ISFP, INTP and ISTP lol

Cognitive Personality Theory has some excellent content pertaining to why ENTPs often mistype as INFJs, (at least according to CPT's understanding of Jungian typology).

fr so many people are infj and intj mistypes and think they're special for being the rarest type lol

INFP is the biggest mistype you'll get from this test. At least, in my experience, everyone is an INFP lmao. It's easy for most to agree with statements like "you're shy, creative, a good person, and lazy." A bastardization of the cognitive functions.

@@paulssyt I got ISTP INTJ ENFP but mostly INFJ. It's actually common for ENxP to identify as ambivert due tu Ne dominant function. No wonder we mostly got Ixxx result lol

Ah, the beauty of getting ripped by loved ones as they correct our perception of ourselves. 😆

Don't rule out the possibility that sometimes some possibilities can be ruled out.

I had similar issues when I was starting to dive into the tests. They are not made for me they are made for everyone. It is generalized. That's why they are so vague. Don't take them personally and don't take them literally. Every question/statement is a symbolic representation. So look at it from the point of others. When such a scenario shows up in movies, stories, or conversations, what does it references to? "You are very sentimental." - Usually that references being emotional about things (emotions/values). Like being sentimental about an old cooking pan - because that's what my grandma used to cook pancakes when I was visiting here. In that context, I would strongly disagree. But that doesn't mean I'm not sentimental, I'm sentimental about experiences (memories) I have memories I will never let go of, but the statement/question is not based on my specificly selective sentiment. The second approach I use for tests that ask if I would like to do this or that. I imagine doing it maybe for a day or week, not diving deep into it and seeing all aspects of that scenario. "Would you like to work as a librarian" - For a day, yea sounds fun. If I go into it deeper. Then I would see people coming in asking questions, leaving books around, damaging them, Opening and closing times. The more I create scenario-based on reality, how would it look like in a long run. The answer would be - Ok, maybe if I'm bored. Of course, there is the part that suggests of defence mechanism that questions every statement/question and tries to interpolate in your way just to make you right and them wrong. (Double standarts) But that's if you understand the question/statement, to begin with. -INTP

"same" - Ti-Ne

Very well said. This sensor vs intuitive thing is quite offensive as well, and the questions often in all those types of quizzes make you give biased answers. Or the fact you don't "wonder why humans exist" in specific doesn't mean you are not going philosophical about a hundred other things. And about the last one you pointed out, if that P doesn't live with a bunch of Js to see the difference or having us nagging them about the mess or compare our ability to stick into schedule, they probably won't see themselves as messy.

@@CineShinya You are right as well… I live in a family full of judgers and that is what made me realize how messy I am…

@@dibujos._.infinitos3436 That sounds a bit sad...well...if it makes you feel any better my brother is an utter mess but we still love him dearly and I am sure your family feels the same and appreciate you for your other virtues and talents that overcome any messiness ☺️

@@CineShinya oooh thank you! It’s okay anyway, they are used to it

I have an INTJ friend who rolls their eyes so much at my lack of organisation. And yet when I first took the test I got a J result (INFJ) because I both thought I was organised and (because of external influences in my life not to do with typology) I was very organised in year 9 but it’s not my natural tendency, i Try to be, I like the idea of to do lists and schedules BUT in practice it does not work for me. Also people pleasing made me almost become hyper organised but now I’m struggling when there is a lot more to organise and I don’t know how and it’s not what I naturally want (younger me was very much in Te, and using too much of it made me so stressed)- ENFP

Entp makes sense, though. Atleast they got the ne right?

im an intj with an enfp brother. sometimes i close my eyes when i walk past his room.😭

I'm an INTJ, and my best friend is an ENFP. If I want him somewhere at 10, then I just tell him to come at 9, and then he'll actually be on time for once (accidentally).

Yeah this test is more like a big five test instead of mbti test

Same with my sister, she got INTP and I thought she was INTP because she really doesn't plan real-world details well, but she's INTJ.

Exactly the same for me, but INTP.

@@Bozpot I noticed that infp/intp/intj especially tend to have consistent results, and my theory on why that is is because of our dom functions. Fi/Ti tends to be introspective. people need to understand that you have to be as honest as possible when answering those questions, which requeries a bit of self-awareness. also, obviously if you answer them based on your current mood, ofc you're not going to get consistent results. i think some people don't get what the test is all about, so they call it bs.

@@ana-zp8fv Definitely. It seems obvious that people should consider over all trends in their mindset/behaviour/thought processes rather than current mood or preoccupations when answering the questions; but maybe it's not obvious to everybody.

I hate the infp stereotype so much, people perceive them as dumb nerds, also being an absolute softie introverted person who takes everything personally. In reality, the "soft" ones can be thinkers, the "logical" ones can be feelers. They have strong Fi and their own values, yes, but that doesn't make them overly emotional. Also the logical nerd genius intp stereotype doesn't make sense on every intp. That doesn't make every single of them socially awkward. Although I'm indeed a socially awkward intp. mbti ain't a dichotomy, personalities vary in every single individual.

Similar thing happened to me! Funny enough, it wasn't 16personalities but learning about cognitive functions that made me truly know I was an INFP. Thanks a lot for the existential crises, 16p.

I totally agree on making vs actually following and completing lists. Making them is easy and makes you feel good, until you realize you forgot something or you run out of time and don't finish it all. I don't get the whole organized/not messy=judging thing generally. There's different contexts: your time, your work/projects, your physical space, your money, etc. You can be organized in one area, but not another. That's why not specifying the context around the question can lead to skewed answers, as Kristin said in the video. Other than Si, what functions would perceived messiness even be tied to?

Well, I do, because my Si trumps absolutely everything (both preference wise and skills wise) Except my results on 16P were like 50% ISTP (my Se isn't really that great hello?), 30% ISTJ, 10% ISFJ, and the other time I forgot (INTJ?) Every single other tests from *everywhere* else (including the one I did in high school without knowing what MBTI was) typed me as ISTJ.

I did get S (specifically ISTP) which is correct for me

That test told me I was 92% sensing.

I think it's almost impossible for an INFP not to ruminate over a personality test result. I myself, when I heard the MBTI community looks askance at 16 Personalities, read more about my result, read more about the other types, learned about the functions, questioned and re-questioned and soul-searched, and finally, after coming to INFP every time, accepted it.

You sound like an INFP

"It genuinely seems to me that they type based in the letters and not the cognitive functions". Yeah it's because they dont. They even claimed as such on their website: "We use the acronym format introduced by Myers-Briggs for its simplicity and convenience, with an extra letter to accommodate five rather than four scales. However, unlike Myers-Briggs or other theories based on the Jungian model, we have not incorporated Jungian concepts such as cognitive functions, or their prioritization. Jungian concepts are very difficult to measure and validate scientifically, so we’ve instead chosen to rework and rebalance the dimensions of personality called the BIG 5 personality traits, a model that dominates modern psychological and social research". Basically they are a BIG 5 test, and not MBTI. They only use the MBTI "labels" for convenience.

Infp: gets infp result Also infp: “but really though?”

I am Catholic Christian who is an ISTP, but 16P types me as ISFJ-A

This whole comment is Ne and Ti out of control, shuffling all the possibilities in advance and wanting to avoid giving the wrong answer for fear of being wrong rather than because you care about the question. Or so I think.

@@yuiger9310 yup. Thats me 🤣 I actually never really thought of it as a fear of being wrong. That's interesting and might have to look more into it. Thanks.

As an Intp as well, I too struggled similarly while answering generalized questions like that, specially in the F vs T category. I've worked really hard on my Fe throughout my life to fit in but the rules are different for myself and the people for me. I want harmony and so think the feelings (of others) should be valued but personally, I'm against emotional decision making etc. Answering without specificity had me ticking somewhere middle, even though I kind of have clear views. Basically when your agreement with your own behaviour don't align but they ask your opinion. And then there is always the hurdle of 'but if' scenarios. Intp and Intj are known to retake the test multiple times, I wonder if this is also one of the reasons.

@@kcb_baebae5885 for sure. In terms of T vs F I also struggled for a while knowing the difference between my feelings and my personal logic. I very often mix the 2 somehow lol

@@o0ofatasyo0o Fi(31:52). If you're not sure it's not Fi.

In my family me, my mom, my sister, my brother, and my sister-in-law seem to have all gotten the incorrect test score, but it was only one letter off for everyone, except for me it was two letters off. And it shows how much percentage extraverted, sensing, etc. you are. So I don't think it measures the cognitive functions at all.

Oh well, Si is just about how you take in the information but not how to interpret it. IMO a single function doesn't determine your actual personality, especially a perceiving one. I'm an Si dom and this bothers me 1000% because my Fi (I'm an ISTJ) can't allow that. I don't say anything to anyone, but inside my head I would play that piece of memory over and over and over again (retrieving the information and analyzing it) until I'm tired of replaying the segment of that failure anymore, and at the same time think about how to improve myself and come up with a solution avoid the same thing happening in the future (Te+Ne). As for a an incident (be it positive or negative or trivial) that happened long time ago, just one tiny piece of info or related stimulus that is related to the incident is enough to let me recall the whole thing if my memory encoding was strong enough. Honestly, if you do not have an the tendency to instant recall past event with a hint at all, are you seriously an Si Dom?

Girl if you answer the test based on your mood rather than your behavioral pattern, then you're the problem not the test

@@redbitch3362 Your mood affects a lot of how you analyse your behaviour patterns and how you explain what you do. You also act in situations differently depending on your mood, or even what the specific situation is. You don't rely on Fe, or Ti, or Si, etc. You use a mixture of all the functions. Even for a single situation, you might try and use multiple decider functions, as an example. If you've used Ti a lot recently, you're going to respond to the questions in a way that shows you've used Ti a lot recently -- even if that's not supposed to be your "preferred" function. Safe to say, I disagree with function stacks in general. Also, when tests are _made_ to vary depending on how you feel about yourself or how you have reacted recently, then that is going to be a factor for everyone if you're answering the questions honestly and not just trying to get a specific result. There isn't a set "if you do this, you're good at this function", like tests like to portray. Functions are _explanations,_ not behaviours themselves. This is just another problem I have with them and them being like "Do you do this?; Do you do that?".

I loved how you explained it!

What does being an INTJ has to do with your thoughts about this?

​ @Dr Zaydan while we may more easily get overwhelmed by vast amounts of information coming to us at once, NONE are more PENETRATINGLY PERCEPTIVE than us INTJs are. ABSOLUTELY. FOR SURE. THATS ALL. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Do you always know what you want and you're responsible with it while everybody else isn't , or do you think everybody isn't responsible with what they want that you don't want to choose irresponsibly like them ? Are you initiating , like you enjoy being around people , fine but are you the one starting conversations and keeping others in the loop or do you want to receive it ? Are you informative or direct in your speech , I don't know how to explain this one but you know what dude , just watch cs joseph .

@@malakashraf2801 I honestly have zero fking clue what I am. I could be a damn walking schnitzel with pink caterpillar legs that poses as a banjo player on weekends for all I know. For my entire life I’ve kept to myself living inside a shell of crippling social anxiety and depression fueled by the anxiety that’s ruining my life. I have no social circles so I don’t know what type of people I like and no one who has any idea what type of person I am. My mom doesn’t even know who I am. I’m basically a waking ghost who died 3 years ago after I almost died from my own hand. There are days where I still ask myself if I really am still alive because most of the time I feel dead. I still feel so guilty. Never had a girlfriend or ever even said more than 3 sentences to a girl my age (I wish I was exaggerating). My 25th birthday is coming up next week and I still have no clue who I am, what I want to do with my life, if I can even do what I want to do with my life when and if I ever find that out. I decided today I want to get super fit in the next 6 months and get that job I wanted so I can get health insurance and actually afford a therapist to help sort out my problems but with my track record that’s probably not going to happen. Every time the negative thoughts of failure and not seeing progress just overwhelm me and I give up as usual. Going to the gym or biking are my usual go-to’s for working out but since there are other people there, what happens after a while is my stamina erodes and then I just give up. Nowadays I have carpel tunnel in my hands and I find my only relief is marijuana since the CBD reduces the inflammation and the THC alters my perception of the pain. That’s something new I tried which works well. I don’t want to take it. I want to quit but after about 1-2 weeks of not doing it the pain returns and it drives me insane like peanut butter stuck to the roof of my mouth and it’s constant. It feels like I have glass shards imbedded in my wrists and it makes my finger tips numb. It sucks because I can’t really get a mechanical engineering job with my masters degree that I had for over a year since basically every place does drug tests. I’m hoping that maybe working out will somehow fix the pain and I won’t need it anymore but who knows. It’s not like I could even pass an interview before I started doing drugs anyways since I applied for hundreds and got rejected from every interview due to “poor communication skills”. It’s something I’ve been working on my whole life but still am to shitty at to get an actual job in my major. Every rejection I get stings more than the last. I don’t know how much more I can take. I feel closer to snapping everyday. In summary, Need to quit weed and improve communication skills to get a good job, Need to get a good job to get good medical insurance, Need good medical insurance to get therapy and find solution to wrist pain, Need to get therapy to improve communication skills and solution to wrist pin to quit weed. Basically, it’s a circle I can’t get into. If I could accomplish just one task on that list then I could solve all my other problems on the list but I can’t seem to accomplish any of them without completing one. I’m trapped. I’m hoping that working out will get rid of the inflammation and give me just enough confidence to mask my shitty communication skills but that’s about the best I can do. If it doesn’t work out, I guess I’ll just have to jump off a bridge or something. It HAS to work or I’m done for. There is no hope left for me if it doesn’t work. I need to solve those problems to move on with my life of it’s just going all downhill from here. The longer I wait, the harder it gets.

@@BimmerWon so I am so sorry I really don't know what to say , it's basically like you , the poor communication thing resulting from fe inferior ( yes you're an intp , and I am an istp ) , I have been reading and thinking for a while but I just don't know what to do , I am so so sorry . If this helps anyhow I have similar problems too , I am a medical student but my ni child doesn't want that completely and I feel so unmotivated and I already failed some classes although I have been a good student my whole life and I really hate the disappointment and disrespect in my parents eyes , people change opinions and never remember what you did before ha . This is obviously easier than what you have , many people our age are screwing up and it seems to be increasing , I am not sure about any practical solution for you , like have you tried at least working in another less paying job , at least it's gonna take up time and you will feel less empty , why don't you force yourself to go out anywhere and just socialize , I know it's difficult , I am trying to do it right now , I go for walks or charity and i literally force myself to just spit a word out which could be so draining and can cause me slight troubles cause i don't know what type of person i am either ( fi demon , we will probably never know who we are and we usually go into self hatred phases , both intps and istps) and I don't know what type of people I need around so I end up getting hurt a lot but I realize that's what it takes and same goes for almost every other thing you try to do , have you tried watching Jordan Peterson, he's an intp too and he seems to talk mostly to people as if they all are + as I said it's been increasing for all types , he has been a good motivation for me and dude I know you are probably like "motivational speeches don't touch me" ( cause fi demon) I was like that too for the longest time and still , just try and try to deceive your brain it kinda works, at the end you will crash into the hard truth that the solution is self discipline , wish I could change that or find another solution for you and me but there isn't , I am so sorry . Also again , I recommend cs Joseph , I have not watched many of his intp lectures but I see a lot of intps saying they changed because of him , he really knows about the types and he touches you very very deep like no other and if you ever collect money book a session with him instead of therapy, he fill give you specific solutions that are designed for you in a sense instead of the common things all psychologists say , it's kinda expensive though as I hear cause I haven't got it yet ( will one day , I like his knowledge) , I am not advertising him , he doesn't know me .
