You're seriously carrying the whole MBTI typology on this platform. Respect!!

Hope that you get better soon, Nathan. You're very apt, especially with the INFJ section. I have an active inner imagination, so much so, that I often forget to ACTUALLY live it out!

As an INTJ I can agree with you about INTJ's being optimistic. As much as I rail against the overall incompetence of people, and have to remind myself everyone else is an idiot to keep my blood pressure in check. At heart I want people to be competent, I always give people the benefit of the doubt, even after all these years.

My mother is an ENFJ and she confides in me that she does indeed think that people are "stupid" or "ridiculous." However, no one realizes what she thinks because she's too kind. I laughed out loud at that.

INFP here in his 20s. It's really timely because I really feel like the world is unfair and I can't do anything about it. It bothers me because of the possibility of what if the world we believe in doesn't really exist? A world where people are in harmony amd everyone gets what they want and be their authentic selves. But some people just have bad intentions. And that's what makes it unfair and kind of... meaningless to be good. We don't want goodness to seem meaningless. It's what we put our faith in. A better world. Some kind of paradise.

It is true. I'm an ISTP and I long for the feeling of being alone most of the time because I get really tired when exposed to social interactions for too long. But even so, I cannot lie about how sad and depressive it can be to really feel like you don't have anyone by your side. This sometimes can lead to the paranoia of thinking that no one likes you, that everyone hates you just because you are... you. I've hit that bottom so many times... it's hard, but we will never say it out loud. Maybe because of the shame, maybe because of distrust, I don't know.

Agree with infp wholeheartedly. The way I personally got over that is the realisation that some (maybe even the majority) of people are just not phased as being cogs in the machine, and if that's the case - please keep on cogging away you beautiful people. It's the cogs and gears which have been forced into spots they cannot fit, but cannot see that the reason they are not moving in tandem and causing chaos to all the other cogs around them are because they were forced into a space they shouldn't be, and now they only see themselves as not the right cog, when in fact they could have been a damn good spanner (I know nothing about mechanics and it irks me that I cannot make a better metaphor). If someone is not happy with their place in the machine, then it's their responsibility to find their place and it's the machines responsibility to allow that to happen

Middle aged INTP here. "INTPS: That their actions only capture a tiny amount of their brain's potential." Less than you might think, actually. I'm quite content NOT being the one who changes society to fit my whims or taking over the world. I've seen what people trying to control everything and everyone around them turns into and I want no part of it. I'm not arrogant enough to imagine I have all the answers, and the ones I'm confident I do have are answers people have to figure out and find the will to act upon for themselves. 😐 "Not only that, I think they also feel like they struggle greatly to verbalize their thoughts." Well, yeah. Have we not been making that clear already? 🤨

I am an ENTP and this was so point on. When people or questionares ask me to define myself I literally stumble. It's like seeing a box in the room but not being able to unlock it. I used to get so frustrated with this but now that I've learned this much about typology, I have come to terms with this side about me .

INTP here and this was spot on (Although I do relate to the ENTP quite a bit too. Maybe it's the Ne) . I found that writing helps with communicating my thoughts instead of verbalising it. I'm trying to get better at both, though. I have to listen to it in my head before saying it out loud. It stresses me out that I am slow to react to things only because of how slow I am at articulating myself. Hope you feel better soon. Covid is a real pain in the ass.

You’re on point with the ENFJ. People don’t listen to me only to ‘magically’ come to the same conclusions days to years later. And I hate how stupid people can be, especially myself xD

As an INTP, the key is to realise everything cannot be done, and projects need to be prioritised by the level of fulfilment it brings. It’s amazing how much we can get done if we can just pick one thing to do

Ambitious realist EXACTLY describes by INTJ husband. As an INFP, I do find him very idealistic in a lot of ways which is why we are such a great match, but he considers himself a realist lol.... he spends his life optimizing everything around him to make it function better. Systems, relationships, his workplace, etc. And what frustrates him is that he can see how great something could be if people would stop messing it up lol. So to him it isn't being idealistic because he knows that realistically his goals are 100% achievable if everyone would just listen to him lol. I love him so much and I admire how everything he touches he makes better. That is such an admirable quality to have, and I love how he has optimized our marriage over the last 12 years. We almost never have arguments anymore lol. INFPs get yourself an INTJ and thank me later!

ISTP here, you are spot on. I have finally accepted that I need people, and really like them. It's just this damned low fe that stops me interacting more. I literally don't know what to say to people and it drives me up the wall. Get well soon. ✌️

Agreed about INTJ. A state of INTJ is somehow a permanent disappointment with the world that doesn't work as INTJ supposes it to work and thus this world sucks or is always messy. We INTJ are the best critics in the world. (On the rights of selftype-irony^^)

The ENTP part was on point. I always appreciate your choice of words and expression. Get better soon.

Ooh this is why I (or ENFPs) like INTJs. Because I can tell their cynicism is just a cover for DREAMS hahaha. And they can tell I'm a little worn out sometimes on being so enthusiastic and I feel like I can just admit that to them without them finding it alarming or incongruous with still wanting to have many ideas.

As an INTJ, I can say I agree with your statement here. I think most of us would be more idealistic if we were able to believe in people. I think our lack in the belief of others to be idealistic about extremely elementary issues leads to our pessimism. Our frustrations comes from the lack of our ideals, so we choose to just be “realistic” about it and simplify it by saying humans are not capable of creating the most ideal situation for any occurrence. Feelings, political affiliations, laziness, etc. will never go away. Therefore, ideal group outcomes are impossible.

Wishing you well, Nathan. You are one of the best in the MBTI community, thank you for your efforts and for this video. looking forward for your next one. Now take your time getting well.

This INFP is too optimistic to think we're doomed. :) I see the world as slowly progressing and sometimes simply wish it would happen faster. It's basically what you said about INTJs, on a societal scale - I see a lot of problems with society, but without pessimism; I see a lot of potential for improvement and believe things can get better.

INTJs...seeing endless possibilities for others to learn and grow, imagining the benefits for them and society, annoyed at ourselves for wasting time thinking about a plan not valued or seen by others and getting our hopes up, embarrassed should others discover how much we care (lashing out at the stupidity of others to avoid that embarrassment should fix that, everybody thinks we're heartless cynics now but hey, it was worth it, I think...)

As an INTJ, I have never thought that about myself until you articulated it. I will say I agree with the analysis you mentioned. I am also shocked that it is true.

Get better soon, Nathan! Thanks for all your effort and work to feed the MBTI community! With regards to ISFPs, though, the opposite is true for me. I used to want to fit in more when I was younger. I didn't want to admit that I had fomo, even if I acted otherwise. However, now that I'm older and had to forego events that would allow me to gain interpersonal connections, I had to learn the hard way to find less value in societal acceptance. And so I have. I've learned to care less about fitting in and to try to live my own life independent of what most people think of me. Come to think of it, I guess you're right...in describing some part of my life. 😄

ENTP here. I cannot use THC at all because it makes me introspective and I am so inexperienced with that reflection that it's overwhelming and makes me panicky. I literally never feel anxious sober, but then again I don't feel much at all and so to be uncontrollably bombarded with internal feelings all at once is horrible. I can't bear it. So yeah, maybe hollow is a bit much but it's definitely not what others are walking around experiencing.

I feel like INFPs often express that unfairness is inevitable and prevalent in society. It’s not something they’re afraid to point out, nor is the unfairness itself something frightening. Instead, I’d say that INFPs do not like to admit that they are fully capable of outshining other people but don’t do so out of politeness. We have the intelligence, the wit, the sass, but we will hold our comebacks to not hurt you. Even at the height of our anger we still try to hold our tongues and reword it to leave out attempts to offend. Many people underestimate INFPs and we leave it that way because actions speak for themselves and you can’t handle our raw self. I will let you think you won the debate because I’d rather let you be right and happy than wrong and hurt.

One of my favorite fictional characters is (I think?) an ENTP. There is one part of the book where the character is going through a tough time and says something like, "When I looked in the mirror, I could tell from the expression on my face that I was upset."

Get well soon!! Your voice still sounds amazing, raspy or coughy-coughy it's always music to the INTJs soul to hear what you have to say.

INTP here. I don't think that I would never admit to that. I've been wrestling with that thought for a long time but now, I could say that I'm very much at peace with that idea. I can't speak for all INTPs out there but for me, it's more of an issue with this weird obsession of not wanting to be seen as arrogant. I've pretty much accepted the fact that my ways can often be unconventional but I also dislike the spotlight. It's not exactly modesty, I just do everything in my power not to stand out, including not taking any recognition from anything regardless of my influence to it and purposefully choosing roles that doesn't require presenting myself in a public setting. I know that I could be "so much more", but should I? If the situation calls for it, sure. If not then, you know. It's not the idea that bothers me, it's the people that keeps nagging me with it every single time.

As an entj this video is quite accurate in my case, the reason it's so hard to slow down is because when entjs stop moving it can provide too much time to get counterproductively satisfied, when an entj stops trying to achieve something greater they lose their identity and purpose in life

I love the colour scheme and art nouveau-esque corner embellishments in this video :)

As an INTJ, this is how I define myself lol. This IS how I will ALWAYS admit. Good point.

As INTJ. Yes, it's true, I want things not only to improve but to reach its potential, and that includes myself and everyone else. It's really hard to admit because it doesn't matter how much we try there's always one of many reasons that potential can't be achieved, so I resort to nihilism and crippling disappointment.

ENTP kinda hit hard. I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately.

Wow... You know the stuff. As Entp I never understood that I feel hollow. And I thought I'm actually lazy. Now, this makes sense 2 me. Otherwise, what you told about Entj is even my attitude as well... Going 4 ideas untill burnout.

That INTP part is way to relatable like how it's so relatable?

I didn’t realise everyone didn’t know intjs are idealists. Bringing visions into the tangible world is like our thing.

INFP fearful that we are doomed but the upside is that everyday I wake and we are not in doom, immense joy, appreciation, and satisfaction comes from the ordinary life. And then the magic of doom not yet being apparent makes impossible things seem very possible. Hence high momentum for drifting into fantastical day dreams. Paradoxically being non present in the joy of presence.

02:10 I just got called out so hard- I've basically become a hikikomori and I just feel so lonely and useless all the time but I can't get myself to actually do anything about it I'm just in survival mode due to my mental and physical health so I often feel like I'm going to die without ever doing anything with all the knowledge and big ideas I've accumulated because I can't ever create or structure anything I think of properly before I become tired of it entirely, only to come back to it later but it's just an endless cycle of trying to find a purpose but then giving up

I hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon Nathan... 🙏🏻

Another well spoken video. Hope you feel better man.

You don't sound too good Nathan. Hope you feel better soon. Always love these assessments. ESFJ 💛 ~Saiyren

As an INFJ, that's how I am living right now i.e. surviving right now and I don't care what people would say if I accept it.

The infp one is honestly really accurate to myself. It's something I'm always thinking about but I've never really vocalised

As an intp, I don't have problems verbalizing. My only Issue is actually getting it across, not everyone's interested and I don't want to share with people who don't value it. It don't feel good to me and it spoils the flow as it's not compatible with them. I have adhd and potentially autism, as an intp I've struggled IMMENSELY with laziness but also intense productivity. Over the years I've developed systems of how I think things work, and they do work. I can be as productive as I choose. Whether I do it is different, but I can snap to it if I want to now. Went from 17% conscientiousness to 65%. (Big 5 trait). A lot of other traits have improved to. Lowered neuroticism and increased extraversion (as a result of focusing specifically on those dimensions, not particularly just improving in general that caused it). Theory first. Execution second. Assess, revise, repeat.

The ENFP part is 1000000% true!! I actual tell people this tho, and some take it the wrong way because I usually only say the positive/ idealistic view of things out loud. (Unless you're close to me; you will get cynicism and optimism). Edit: hearing the INTJ version makes me understand why people put ENFP and INTJs together because I see we are the inverse of one another internally and externally and probably could immensely help each other in that way.

Bruh I didn't come here to get personally attacked. As an ESFP: I have been exposed. That hit WAY to close to home. Yes I would like my feelings to just sometimes chill a bit out. Thank you very much.

“INFPs. [sometimes admit] That they worry we might be doomed. Because unfairness might be a fundamental feature of society, and even life, overall. INFPs, archetypically, defend individuality against homogenized, standardized, and systematic structures. But, INFPs do also realize the power of those things. That there is a need for society to be structured in a certain way. They’re not blind to that. This presents a problem, namely, that their preferred way things should be might not be functional, or doable. If some people don’t function as cogs in the machine, then the machine won’t work. And maybe it needs to work, at least in some areas. The thought that unfairness is inevitable deeply bothers INFPs.”

Lmao I've got COVID right now too and have been binging your videos and random other videos (INTP here). Get well soon dude, hoping we both recover

Love the insight as usual

OMG yes!! Because of how intense my feelings are I sometimes wonder if I'm an ISFP because of how fierce they are described to be. Being an ESFP can truly be overwhelming sometimes.

As an ENTP I relate to the feeling of being hollow. It seems like so many people have an absolute faith in something whether it's religious, political, or just a faith in humanity or the power of love in general. I just can't muster that kind of confidence in my views because my Ti picks apart everything others are saying while that makes me more B.S proof than a lot of those around me but it's often at the cost of that hollow feeling you're talking about despite being surrounded by friends and other people I love.

infp here, you said it. although maybe my personal coloring of that idea is a little different. i fear that heirarchies where some people are oppressed or exploited, like some form of slavery, whether it's outright or with wage hierarchies where the most strenuous physical labor also happens to be the lowest paid, is actually a necessity. that the only way we can get beautiful artistic excellence is if only some people are allowed to rest upon the labours and suffering of others

ENTP is spot-on. I'm struggling with that now.

I’m sorry you are sick with the ‘rona 🦠. Been there. Done that a few times. You’ll be better in no time. Take care. ❤️🥰😘

Godddd, I HATE unfairness, it's so infuriating! Unfairness completely ruins everything!

"What have I done with that knowledge" vs analysis paralysis. damn, that smarts.

It's not Covid, you just heard of Queen Liz's passing and that's ok, I'll miss her too!

So so right about infps. I admit that I think you are brilliant.

ESFJ here, very accurate. It’s really the downside of us having a high Fe… I really need to hear this. Thanksss

As an intp, thank you I finally feel so understood 🤩

The ENTP problem is something I explain since I am 12 and hadn't knwon anything about MBTI. Im now 17. It's kinda prooving my point, so thanks my man

ENFJ here. I don't know if I'd go as far as to say people are "stupid," maybe...clueless? In need of direction? I try very hard to include everyone in what needs to be done, listen to feedback, etc., but I honestly sometimes feel like things would be easier if people would just do what I tell them. There, I admitted it.

Get well soon! Spot on too.

INTJ was too accurate, I think about this a lot

I like that you my thoughts into words, things I’ve known but thought was not worth the effort organizing into words.

Get well soon! Personally I could relate to more than one of these.

Loved this ❤

I'm afraid to live in such a dangerous world where I do not have an answer to worst case scenarios. But then I decided to relax and accept death if that has to happen tomorrow. Doing much better now! Thanks Nathan for the video and get well soon!

As someone who generally think I relate a lot to most of the types, I'll give my opinions on ones I think I relate to. ESTP - I kind of relate, but mostly in the way where I feel comfortable in the moment because it's certain and I'm terrified of the future because it's uncertain. While I'm in college, for example, I have a routine and I know most of the people I'm with. That will go away and I'll have to build it up again when I finish and start working. Also, letting go of people is a huge struggle for me - probably because it's also a huge struggle to actually know them in the first place. I don't do things without thinking about future consequences, or anything like that. INFJ - Hard relate. I find that I daydream constantly instead of actually living. Not a bookworm though. ENFJ - I don't think I've ever thought anyone was stupid irl. Online though, I don't hesitate with my input. ISFJ - Strong relate. However, I disagree with the stereotype that so many people parrot about ISxJs just being people who suffer from anxiety. INFP - Hard relate. ISTJ - Semi-relate. I don't necessarily "prefer no change to good change", but change scares me. I recognise good changes as being good changes, and desire societal changes. I also disagree with it being a competition thing in my case. ESFP - I don't think I relate in quite the same way. I'm not impulsive, like the stereotypical "let's go on rollercoasters because I need adrenaline" impulsive. I'm just emotional and pretty much unable to hide how I feel, whether it's good or bad, and I often do things just because I want to. I think I'm pretty much the opposite of ENTP and INTP for this vid. I think I actually look into myself a lot, and I would definitely love to use my knowledge to help others and the world in general. :)

I wish you a good recovery!

True for ENFP. Tho I don't know is it because I don't want to tell something like this to somebody or because I fear that nobody will really care or believe.

nailed it, on the ENFP!

Omg enfj is so real. This is why I get so irritated and tired of people that I thought I wasn’t an enfj 💀

I'm an ESFP and it's not that I won't admit it but that it's hard to put that into words

(ISTP) If anyone can find a balance between having company in life and not losing your sense of self in others. PLEASE drop some wisdom on here. Short story: I felt SO awkward hanging at an open mic event that I found a way to be useful. Taking photos and giving them away is a GREAT way of interacting without having to share feelings. I ended up becoming the sound engineer and run audio now. I get to give back and be appreciated without the need to be friends with everyone. I'm making friends with the people that feel the same. It's like I held a torch in the dark for all the fellow non emotional people at the venue!

I’m an ENTP and it’s just now that what I’m feeling was accurately defined. It’s soooo true that I don’t even know what I truly want to do anymore. Honestly I’m nearing 30 and I still haven’t discovered my true life purpose since I see both the negative and positive of things I don’t wanna be closed off to one value and later discover that they have negatives that can change my perspective in a snap. It’s tiring and soooo complicated to be an ENTP.

Don't know if it was this great video, or simply where I'm at in the learning process, but this whole MBTI thing just started making sense! Good thing if the CIA places a lot of importance in it. Gotta do something to catch those spies in one's life. Hope your Covid makes you stronger.

Very interesting insight into ESFP. I was comparing an instance with an ESFP I know to an INFP friend. People often think the ESFP is angry (he's not, he's actually in a flow state and having fun) while they think the INFP is sad (actually, she's either angry, or just chilling out). The ESFP is very intense in the way he shows any and all emotion, while the INFP is very controlled (at least on the face of things). I agree ESFP would rather have more control in general, especially the ones whose emotions tend to get them in trouble.

Spot on! I am an ESFP married to an INTJ and a 25 year old ISFP daughter-- she is super chill but can be scary FIERCE if she thinks someone is being treated badly.

Get well soon 🙏🏻😇

Get well soon 🤍🤍💚 take care of yourself

The INFJ is spot on but I also feel like INTJ describes me really well, in this I'm more INTJ than my mother who hates my complaining and always pointing out what's wrong :) But I must say that I perceive all the INTJs I know as idealists with a strong sense for what's right and what's wrong, I don't know where the "villain" stereotype comes from. And as an INFJ it's always great to have another Ni dom by your side, although there are differences between INFJs and INTJs, I always feel understood by them on the Ni level. Also ENTPs get my Ni mindset because of their Ne openness. And did I mention how much I love ISFJs? :)

Get well soon! Or, I hope you are feeling better now

You should make a collab video with 'dear Kristen' that would be epic!

As an infp i agree to this… extremely frustrating

I am a typical INTJ - clear, precise and direct (not rude) and critical, if it is intimidating or funny depends on the personality of the opposite - but I always knew and admitted, that I am an idealist.

So that's why I always do so many suggestions on Discord servers and end up getting banned most of the time as an INTJ...

I have an ENFJ friend who will release a huge thankful sigh when I use my INTP willingness to speak the truth they didn't want to verbalize.

As an ENTP, I relate heavily to what you said about both ENTP and INTP.

Entp here, scarily accurate as always Get well soon 👍

Stay hydrated. Hope you feel better soon.

I so definitely feel both the INFJ and ENFJ here.

ESFJ - that's really true lol I couldn't help but agree and nod, but I can't help it 😂

Ty about the hallow point, my esfp friend helps me notice my Fi

Get well soon Nathan. Spot on again, as usual with ISFJs 👍🏽

Get well soon!!

I have covid, too. It sucks. Especially when you feel really good and then out of nowhere comes of wave of crap. My favourite part so far is being on the mend, but one day waking up to hives caused by covid.

i love your videos!
