What Is The Cognitive Attitude Of The Trickster Function? | Cognitive Functions | CS Joseph 

Se trickster really sucks because you are judged heavily but you don’t even know that you are being judge, so you have constant anxiety about how you come across to others. Someone with Se trickster seeing a video of themselves is almost like torture because they are like “holy shit is that what I look like and sound like to other people”.

ISTJ / INTJ - 7:16 ESFP / ENFP - 13:28 ESTP / ENTP - 22:41 ISFJ / INFJ - 27:55 ISTP / ISFP - 34:40 ENTJ / ENFJ - 39:52 ESTJ / ESFJ - 43:17 INTP / INFP - 46:18 Have a nice day ^)^

INTJ here: It is genuinely difficult to be told over and over again that you failed to do the appropriate thing in a social situation, and embarrassed somebody or whatever. Especially when you've actually put in effort to be good socially. I guess struggling with the trickster function is a lifelong effort.

"Does absolute truth exist?" - No. "Is that statement true?" - Yes. "If that statement is true, then absolute truth does exist"... MIC DROP..

"Ti trickster causes them to not have logical thoughts in their head...ever!" Do you know how horrifying this concept is to an INTP! I think I'd rather be a potted plant!

*CNN HEADLINE* “I have no moral principles” -CS Joseph

Se trickster is real. I *constantly* get told that I'm too quiet and nobody can hear what I'm saying. When asked to speak louder, apparently I repeat what I've said with exaggerated expressions but my voice is still too soft. Lmfaooo

"They do not have a logical thought in their head, ever." -CS Joseph *cries in INFJ unconscious*

I imagined an INTJ, an ENTJ, an ISTJ and an ESTJ each one in a cubicle happily talking to each other while they take a shit

3:55 lmao Fe / IXTJs: 7:12 Ti / EXFPs: 13:28 Fi / EXTPs: 22:41 Te / IXFJs: 27:55 Ne / ISXPs: 34:39 Si / ENXJs: 39:42 Ni / ESXJs: 43:16 Se / INXPs: 46:19

can't wait for the demon function

I have Se trickster, yet I play several sports and do various outdoor activities and I am completely engaged in those activities most of the times, I think that over time it has become easier for me to get out of my comfort zone, and challenge myself. It has surely helped me a lot in developing a good perception of my surroundings. But as a child, I never had any interest in any sports or anything involving physical interactions with others. Still, sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts and become completely unaware of my surroundings, which can be really annoying.

Oh geez, that Se-trickster part is so amusing, yet revealing. 😂 I'm constantly losing my sense of balance out of nowhere, I never notice when a guy likes me and is trying to hit on me, I'm never aware of how weird things seem that I say and how I come off to the world around me because all of that seems so normal to me. I never notice when I'm giving mixed signals to other people and I only get it when they tell me they don't get my intentions and my thoughts, although I thought to be clear enough so that they should be knowing all of it. I was even told that I don't have a filter for reality, which leaves others to be amused, fascinated, interested and confused at the same time, lol. Maybe that's why INFPs struggle with being "normal" and being understood by others. Like, how are others even supposed to understand us if we see ourselves, our actions and the world so differently than pretty much everybody else around us, isn't that somewhat delusional? But I bet that kind of behaviour must be hilarious to watch from the outside. 😅

Honestly, as INTJ I love Fe trickster, eventually you learn how to not feel guilty about not giving a fuck about social norms, it's liberating. It reminds me of this phrase by A.Camus "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion".

Damn, on point with this video too, haha. "ENFP's can have rational beliefs, but they don't ever have logical thoughts." Truer than true. Explains so much...

I'm INTJ and I needed to study body language and some psychology to be able to learn how other people feel. Because of this, I take some clues to point what the others are feeling and how I should act in light of their feelings... Which is quite a hard thing to do and I get completely worn out after, but still worth it.

If I had a dollar for everytime people judged me for my Se trickster, I'd be filthy rich now. Anyway, awesome lecture. I love this season the most. I'll try my best to cover my family's blindspots as much as possible.

I guess Se trickster explains why I constantly have to ask what someone said over and over and why i can never catch anything thrown at me

Hey Chase, INFJ here. I appreciate your direct approach, haha. I'm aware of of my Te trickster for a long while now. I grew in a household of an ESTJ mother, and ISTJ and ESFP siblings. So I had a healthy appreciation for Te. Though, I struggled much with that. In the end, I learned to do the follow to help me with Te trickster. I usually look up the thoughts or theories I might come up with to see if others thought of them also and have anything to add to what I thought. Second, if I'm unsure of how others are thinking or what they meant I ask them directly to elaborate on what they said or thought. Third, I try to understand why others think the way they do and what led to it. Thanks for your lectures. Keep the good work up. Best regards!

It makes so much sense now! My family constantly accuses me of being oblivious, I’m always bumping into sh** and tripping on the stairs. I always have somewhat of an epiphany when I see myself in a video and think “wow, that’s what I look like?” As well as my constant distancing and disregard for reality. As an infp I’m almost tearing up at this point because I can actually say with confidence that there’s a reason why I have no concept of what is or how I come off to others. I often catch my family saying to me “you’re wearing that?” and I’m thinking “what’s wrong with this?” In school I also always doze off and don’t even realize it and then feel internal shame when I think about how I basically just wasted this person’s time and yet regardless of that I continue to consistently visit outlandish realities when I really should be working. You’re a real lifesaver CSJ! :)

59:00 THANK YOU FOR THIS. I've suffered social anxiety most of my life because I have had such a repetitive experience of trying to put myself out there in new situations (already hard for INFPs & INTPs), but I've continuously found myself being targeted for my Se blindness time and time again. I wasn't always anxious, it's a learned anxiety. Man, people can be jerks, but at least I know I'm the better person in not targeting other people's flaws and honestly, I'm usually see myself making more sensible decisions than a lot of others in the workplace..

"Unaware of how loud or quite they are" yeah this hits home, se. Started the series thinking i'm intp, doubted i could be other types somewhere along, and now i'm back to intp, it's the best fit based on the descriptions for each function placement.

I've came back to typology recently, and the part of the ISTP blindspot is so true. One day I was talking with my parents about extra activities in college and my dad out of NOWHERE just assumed that I wanted swimming classes. No context, no data, just pure speculation.

This is another great view into the cognitive functions ! My Se trickster once told me that anything can be real so I shaved my head and wore overly flashy clothes for weeks. To the 27 people that became blind because of me (their eyes popped out just by looking) : Sorry for the bad experience.

My intj dad can be annoying, he clips his nails super early in the morning waking up everyone, he speaks loud on his cellphone while having dinner all the time, sets several alarms on his cell phone and hits the snooze button every time leaving my mom awake and unable to fall asleep again, watches youtube videos in common areas, very loudly, etc. And he gets so mad when someone tells him to stop. On the other hand his lack of ethics makes him super funny, he has this really dark sense of humor.

INFP here and I am always told I talk too loud. Lol I am also suuuuuuper clumsy. Don't ask me to play sports.

This and the critic function are probably the most intriguing to me; they're so "intensely integral" in a way.

@NJs: I found that physically (Se) making up for a lack of Si, like writing stuff down and visibly organizing bare information, helps with improving Ne. It makes it easier to find patterns this way and escape the Ni tunnelvision.

"I think the camera is starting to smoke a little bit, maybe I could yell at it some more." All of the hurt when we are judging people because we fail to understand them or make an effort to know how they think. That is why we all need to study psychology to stop our own biases.

"Don't do this, It's wrong" You like scolding general public using your Fi trickster :D.

"...black hole sucking away my sense of humanity." Effin' classic statement from our expert ENTP here.

Your lectures have been very valuable to me, man. -ISTP

Dreamland is amazing. One of the favorite things about myself.

Ugh.. spot on. INTJ friend loves to start a conversation at like 3am while i am trying to sleep. And as an INTP, i now make it a point to ask if they're having a good time because oh boy Si child can be such a doozey at times, especially when i become so in the moment with doing the things that i think would be a very good experience. As the theme of the video says, anything can be a reality.. oh and i get called out everytime that i wear iappropriate clothing. Edit... to my perspective, anything can really be a reality. I mean, given the sufficient resources, barring all preconceived notions, even the 2 most incompatible people will prosper. Hence, I get super annoyed when people tell me that it is what it is. It's because they let things go that way. If a square block wont fit a triangular hole... then make the hole bigger. Anything is possible.

I empathize with your anger about the overrated nature of reputation 👍🏻

I'm an INTJ. In elementary school I was taught about the concept of "peer pressure" as part of the program to prevent me from trying drugs. From that day onward I have always considered social rules as "so much peer pressure" and dismissed them as insignificant. Now I understand why, Fe trickster. I have also baffled people with my ability to resist peer pressure. Groups of people have come to me and tried to pressure me into doing all kinds of things, and each time they have been stunned at my ability to refuse and my inability to care. It always seemed so arbitrary. What do I have to gain by following the crowd? Friends? As it turns out, for some types, yes they do make friends that way. Once, in Boy Scouts, a group of scouts wanted to haze me as a ritual. I refused. Their leader looked me in the eye and threatened me with physical violence if I didn't accept. I looked him right back in the eye and said no... and they were so stunned I could do that I walked away without a single scratch.

The ENTP heartless explanation is spot on. I've actually researched sociopaths/psychopaths before to see if I was one, and I wasn't so it was confusing. Thanks for the explanation so I can put that to rest.

Bro you're doing God's work

I'm laughing out loud at this for real because I actually know an ISTJ who will follow me to the bathroom and shout through the closed door at me, going on and on about something they are totally into but I really don't care squat about. It's so hilarious that it's almost endearing.

Awesome lecture. My exhusband is ISTP and at one time he went 100% paranoid accusing my mom and me of conspiring to rip him off on a business venture where he had put no money. He was clueless about our intentions and decided to play it safe by assuming the worst. We ended up getting divorced because of that incident.

Useful and important video. Being INFP it seems developing Se (I call it the open door where anything can come in) is needed for personal success! Se trickster is judged heavily!

As an INTJ who really admire the japnese way of thinking, now that you mention it, it seams to be because of the point you said. And I especially like that Japan´s culture is often thinking about other peoples experiences, like not talking on the subway and etc. I guess I like it because it is a NT society.

This info on the trickster is life changing! I just started taking notes on all the functions, I decided today I’m going to dive deep into all your information and am definitely sharing what I am learning! Thank you so much. This information can certainly be life altering as we put it to good use! INFJ here. Hoping the very best for you and your work!

Sweet, now I can explain how I have no idea what anyone is thinking 🤔 and do it again in the future forgetting that I have already told them why but doing it again because I still don’t know what they’re thinking # humiliation is the best.

I Finally made it to the trickster!!! Wooooo!!! Been typing notes for a month now 😆 unbelievably appreciative dear soul! 🖤🔥

You are a very engaging lecturer! This kept my attention (no small feat believe me) and I learned a lot. Thank you for this and all your videos.

As an INTP, I can come off as an out of control extrovert because I have no volume control, having an Se trickster. When someone says hi, I can´t reply loud enough to be heard usually, but once I do get talking, I get louder and louder until everyone is like ¨Dude, calm down. You´re being so loud.¨ And I´m like ¨Okay¨. 5 minutes later I´m cheerily yelling again, completely unaware unless again notified.

This is very enlightening to this Fi trickster victim. A former ESFJ boss made a lot of money, but he burned through it like no tomorrow. Then he was saying how he needed to make a bunch more to get ready for retirement. lol. Plus, this just nails my Dad with his Fe trickster. In social situations he will say really off-putting stuff, and doesn't get that others are groaning inside.

Finally! I've been waiting for this.

oh my god as an ESTP i was nodding along to everything ! hahahaha people always tell me i'm not moral but in reality its because i kinda...can't stand Fi. having a high Fi mom can be a drag sometimes. My dad is an ISTP , we always end up "insulting" her. oh well

I come back to all these videos every once in a while to refresh my knowledge of all the cognitive functions. There is always more to learn! I have learned to read and research more, ask people for their thoughts, say things like “as we all know” when saying basic logical things, etc. It has really helped me be more mature and not come off as annoying all the time. More often than not Ive learned its better to keep Ti child silent and instead listen to the other person; finding the right moment to introduce that bit of helpful logical statement. Thank you

Helpful information! Happy I was able to find this video!

I've Se trickster and my relationship with it is basically me having no idea about the kind of experience I give to others. Normally what will happen is that I use my Te to compensate that. That's normally what happens with my physical apperance. As I don't have any idea about what kind of impression I'm producing, I try to be as clean and neutral as I can, sometines in a exagerate way because I don't want to be judged by anybody, ever xD Now I understand too why some people (I think mainly Fe dom/aux) got annoyed with me because I did something (which wasn't wrong in my own moral system) and I didn't realise that they were actually pissed off. (That happened with an enfj who didn't tell me what was wrong until I asked her. She was expecting me to know and I've just NO idea that the problem was that xD) PS: I'm clumsy as fuck as well, which is quite funny.

He does such a great job in his descriptions. I want to play these videos for my family showing them their personality. I'm going to be a pateron member.

ENTPs are acquired taste in general . charming at first , then really mean and then really nice for ever after

Absolutely bang on preach against pride! Source of so much discord and pain. Acute observations and deductions. Best lecture I've heard from CSJ with lots of clues. Many thanks 💟 IXFJ still seeking my type

I cant even explain how valuable this is. Thank you, CS Joseph!

You should see me telling ISTJ sosial norms - "NO, you cannot just eat and leave, people don't like that!" "No, you have to cut the grass BEFORE the weeds show up, neighbors don'nt like that!" "NO, you have to remove the hat before intering the restaurant, old people don't like that!" 🤣😂🤣😂

I didn’t know where else to wish you and yours, Happy Holidays. So, Happy Holidays. Thank you for your efforts.

Dude you‘re growing so fast! You might become one of the most influential people on earth with your knowledge. By the way something i‘ve noticed is that the critic function is used very much when people are unhappy or in an unhealthy situation. (Don‘t know if that‘s true tough haha)

I’m glad I found out that the trickster was a thing. I’m not saying it isn’t important to develop, but I tried to overuse it. Before I found out about type I was sub-consciously trying to mirror the ENTJ type (I’m INFJ). Needless to say that didn’t necessarily work out for me, it just made me look like a massive idiot anytime I would try to argue with people. In knowing what my strengths are (Ti) I know how I should argue my point to people, rather than trying to pull statistics out of my ass that I heard on a RU-vid video that didn’t actually take the time to research.

17:15 Te: input Ti: process Fe: output Fi: feedback

ENTP here. Just found your content and ravaging it. Also intending to share it with those I'm 'loyal' to. Helpful for me, I hope helpful for them. Hope you keep doing what you're doing.

Loved this content. INTJ here. Hope I can find more vids that explore the separate functions one at a time.

my Te trickster husband OVEREXPLAINS hahaa makes sense now. love him!!

As a fellow ENTP I appreciate you so much, i write a manga about an ENTP assassin in a early medieval fantasy world, who becomes a battlefield general eventually I started watching your channel and i understand why my storys so meaningful to me, and why i came up with the idea in the first place. Thank you so much😭

ENFP. I do think you are one of the best on youtube that I've found to explain the MBTI. Though, I dunno why ENTPs tend to rub me the wrong way, Haha : p. Still watch regularly :)...I identify with the statement that i believe anything can be true. You just need the right stats or perspective to support your argument. Psychology is definitely not in a state where we can confidently reject most null hypotheses. But I would not argue for just anything. I try to take into account the good/bad that any argument would cause for people. In my head I'm always arguing FOR people and never against. I make the assessment based on what I see the consequences of arguments to be. To me, logic does not matter if the argument will hurt others. Not that I want what I'm saying to be false, I just recognize the limits of logic and its potential to harm. Logic is not the end all be all. Honestly I think emotional harm should be considered just as much as logic when making decisions about social policy and research, which is my main interest...but you did say morality wasnt your type's strong suit so I get it I guess lol..I also value your genuineness I've got to say..I dont feel like I get to see that with ENTPs a whole lot..also liked the helping people with their blind spots bit. Very moral of you, intentional or not! Haha

thanks for your video cs joseph, you change my life :)

I'm INFP. I always get told to speak louder even with mic on during events. 😅 And when I was still a student I can clearly remember what my prof said to me, "What's the use of having a nice voice, if no one can hear you sing?"

I'm fairly sure I've not been able to sustain work in the past because a number of managers judged my less usual Se Trickster function, which really reduced my self confidence as a result. Thank you Chase for teaching the world what isn't being done correctly.

Very insightful. Thanks a lot. 5 years ago I was losing my daughter to adoption. Since the law was involved, I had no idea what to do. After it was all said and done, I signed something. The paper basically said by signing this, you (me) acknowledge that this girl was never your child. She looks so much like me it's not even funny so for them to think it's true is laughable so they can believe what they want despite the contrary. I still feel the effects of that day. Why fight against something I felt I wouldn't win? Because of this, I take with me that small amount of time I got to be with her. I love and miss her deeply. Talk about humbling. It was then that I had a dream of me being pulled into the black hole that you mentioned and I saw the cube (the earth) below my feet, or lack thereof, let alone the aftermath of my upbringing coming back into the forefront along with it. Talk about a destructive process and one I'm still, to this day, doing my best to handle and heal from. Sorry to get so personal about it but I thought it best represents what I got from this video. At the very least, I thought it was worth sharing.

I really enjoyed this video, excellent job! :]

"you try... but you suck and it's probably not going to work" - CS Jose 4:13

Your passion is unrivaled 😁

Ooh the Critic and Trickster videos are the best! Like you say, it's like how to reach enlightenment (huge goal for me!) by becoming humble and wise and exactly how to do that. Thank you so much 💕

Thank you very much!! I always appreciate your lectures 😆 Been looking forward to this one! I loved that you added the part about majority vs minority tricksters, very very helpful 😄 I still don't know what type I am after watching all your videos so far, so you might be seeing me soon via videochat as soon as I book your time hehe

Put the light higher up so the shadows are less prevalent

An immature INFJ here: Last year I went through 6 beliefs systems. Everyone was telling me that I was probably wrong and had no reason for believing as I did, but I wouldn't listen. It seemed so logical at the time. I stopped and gave up on belief systems because I realized that they would all seem logical and I could believe anything.

I'm probably getting annoying with all these random comments, but you've really broken down cognitive functions in a way that makes psychology so easy to understand. I don't know how you know so much (you probably explained in a video I haven't watched yet) but it's really incredible. You've done a lot of videos in such a short amount of time, just remember to take it easy so you don't stress yourself out. 😊

Wow that's so true. We should not - never ever judge someone else. 👍 Without first walking in their shoes and trying to understand the other person.

I'm an istj and i have a well developed Fe Trickster My mom is ENFJ and i learned a lot about social norms and empathy from her when i use it sometimes it seems fake ,but most of the time I'm very considerate of others feelings. People around me find it comfortable when they talk to me because i pay attention and listen to them carefully. It takes a lot of mental energy But at least people like me and I'm not a dick to them 2w3 istj here

I LOVE the theme of this video on how people need to humble themselves, so we could become more of a cohesive team who compensate each others weaknesses and blindspots. We humans as a species really were designed by the Creator to be social creatures, introverts included. I enjoyed your take about the field of psychology, unraveling the wonders and complexity of the human mind which God created, then apply that knowledge in healthy, balanced, mature ways regarding relationships. These are vital for humanity to evolve while giving glory to God who made us and bring us closer to Him. You're also right about how it's best that people avoid looking down on other people due to their shortcomings, when the very same people who hold their targets with contempt are guilty of having shortcomings themselves. There's a passage in the scriptures where Jesus warned everybody about the foolishness of hypocrisy. He said if a person criticizes someone else who have plank on their eyes, one must first remove the plank on his eyes or her eyes, in order for the critic to be taken seriously as being trustworthy concerning his/her criticism and full of integrity with pure intent. Another verse in the Holy Bible relevant to your lesson of this video is Matthew 20:26-27. Jesus explains how to achieve greatness on God's future heavenly kingdom that will eventually supplant the currently imperfect sinful world that exists, a person should have humility at fostering an attitude to think and behave like servant towards other poeple. Jesus is a role model for humankind to follow, because not only did he preach timeless virtues, he exemplified them from the way he humbly lived and offered himself as a sacrifical lamb to purify us and remove our sins (character flaws, wrongdoings, transgressions, wickedness, immorality, injustices, corruption, etc), long as sinners accept his gracious gift of salvation and to abide in His teachings + divine guidance. ~Me, a Christian INTJ male who often makes an effort to be a humble servant for my fellow neighbor since we ought to love our neighbors like we love ourselves as Jesus had done and commanded, because God first loved us, and always will.

Awesome. Love it. You're wicked smart and super helpful. So an INTP should show people (in the workplace) with bad long-term memories ways to keep track of things rather than sighing and constantly fixing things or doing it for them? Lol the tricks I use to aid my non-existant short-term memory would probably work for these people as well.

I love this playlist! Thank you 💓

I think this channel is very underrated.

For ISTPs: I was thinking about how we can emulate Ne trickster and came to the conclusion that we should ALWAYS do 2 things: 1) protect ourselves reasonably (without building walls) and 2) assume the best in people less Se parent gives definitive proof otherwise. For situations with high value/risk transactions on the line also add 3) consider everything the other party may have to gain/lose in each scenario. - From an ISTP who’s dealt with social anxiety for all her 20’s (living in fear of what others think) and who was raised by an ISTP father who’s had many people take advantage of him and his business. Thank you Chase this was a much needed video! 💙🙏🌟✨

Though I am an ENFP, I was lucky enough to have so many INTJ and ENTP friends that beat it into my head that Ti matters, that a right and wrong answer exists. In fact, at this point, I find New Age wuuwuu discussions (often espoused by NF's) intolerable. When I ask for evidence for their beliefs or show opposing evidence, they give this really disingenuine smile that seems to says, "You're just not as wise as me. How narrow of you to see things in such black and white categories." Honestly, acknowledging what is true and false in my life has made me a happier, more level-headed ENFP. If I only had my Ne and emotions to navigate life, I'd be a full screw-up instead of just the slight screw-up I am today. ;)

I love your shoutouts 🤗 you're more than an amazing human being. Truly you are a gift to humanity Chase. That being said, I challenge you to test my Ti somehow. I think I'd surprise you ;)

Thank you! It's always a delight to watch these videos!

Thank you for branching out on the colours Mr. Chase.

I don't understand how you have Se demon, yet you provide good experience for everybody watching your videos!

your amazing, this is so good

Very informative and wise ....Thank you!

Time stamps would be useful

I don’t like when you say that you are not a good person or a moral person. As an INTP, my Fi Demon is even lower than your Fi Trickster. But I’m a caring person because of my Fe (yours higher) and I care very much about the truth. And we get outraged about unfairness, since we are Crusaders. Therefore I think we - me and you - are pretty decent people. Isn’t it unhealthy for you to believe you are a bad person? You do an amazing job with your lectures, I’m very grateful to you. Don’t be that harsh on yourself!

It is innocence(child) vs ignorance(trickster), by my understanding.

I'm halfway to dreamland as I type this. Just wanna say I had such a blast with this lecture. Hilarious for all the types! And Chase, good to see the great Pokémon energy back! 😂

"I can emulate moral principles" Fi trickster everybody XD

I believe I saw smoke coming from your camera :) Brilliant and worth the wait.

Ah. I found it. I really appreciate your part about Fe Trickster. Also amusing (and true) :)
