I WROTE A BOOK: Purchase the print paperback: www.amazon.com... Purchase the ebook pdf: subjectobjectmi... __________________ Original video: • The Sixteen Types: ESFP
Holy shit! I've been an MBTI enthusiast for like five years now but this video made me realise how much I totally misunderstood (and stereotyped) ESFPs, simply because their approach to life is so different (I'm an INTJ). There's a friend of mine I always struggled to type but now I realise he's an ESFP, despite being ridiculously intelligent, intellectual, philosophical and even restrained when he must be. ESFPs are misunderstood by the community, especially by intuitives. This is an old video, but thank you, Michael.
Agreed. I'm a divergent Ti-Ni ENFJ in CPT & my fiancé is an ESFP. Their intellect & philosophical nature is greatly downplayed; he very much is an ESFP on the ENTJ end of the spectrum & has a fully integrated Ni, which is the aim of all of us - to fully integrate all our functional pairings
Im new to this, what stereotype is out there for us? Because we are very socially adept compared to the introverted antisocial hermits out there, there must be a balance of stupidity attributed to ESFP leaning types?
I have a close friend whos INTJ and the compatibility is surprisingly high. Theres definitely a need for mutual respect as the INTJ is probably prone to not valuing ESFP insights due to a lack of rigor, but often comes around when the simple essence ended up being correct because it was coming from such a pure place.
I'm esfp and am known by my gaming friends and work associates as a puppy. It always blows their mind when I come out with a brilliant and amazing idea. I am a civil engineer... I design places people dwell without destroying the environment.
As an INTJ it always kills me to see ESFPs let themselves get treated like children. You are more perceptive than anyone here and smarter than most of them. Stop accepting and internalizing the condescending stereotypes just because they're presented as a joke and you feel like you have to play along.
“Philosophy LIVES.” Yes! Intellectual pursuits for me (esfp) must be living, breathing, and real. If it isn’t, I’m impatient and move on. I watch these videos every few months and find fulfillment and nuggets every single time. Brilliant video
The "I'M DONE" full of joy, happiness, hope and freedom had me in some serious laughing fit. Very interesting video as always, i've really enjoyed both types series, well done!
still the best pair of descriptive videos in existence (probably for each and all of the types)! Thanks again Michael for your wonderful contributions to the discipline. ⭐ESFP⭐ (who majored in philosophy 😉)
Your sense of humor throughout this video was a great touch haha. I’m sure ESFPs will appreciate it as well. But great content!!! I was looking forward to this and I laughed very hard when you brought up ESFP vs INTP cause my roommates are those types and the exact problems you brought up, plus many more is what they tend to go through all the time! Hahaha
I am an INTP with an ESFP roommate. I can only be thankful that he's not boisterous around me, while I just mind my own business in a quiet, calm, non emotionally engaging environment.
Denzel Mensah That’s good that you are all able to make it work. Socionics claims that INTP and ESFPs have conflicting relationships with one another especially as romantic partners. They basically should avoid them by all means.
Well, my ESFP mother calls my INTP father is complex and he calls her tsunami. Funny enough I turned out having in common their Fi and Ne, but being an INFP is nother story..
This video solidified my belief that you are an INTP, Michael! I was surprised & happy on your comparison of ESFP and INTP and it was very informative as, being an INTP, I am looking forward to accept my ESFP girlfriend for life. And often I have experienced bewilderness in those moments with my girlfriend where I find her behaviour a little strange, often naive, with abundance of love & care towards me or people around her (and it oozes out from her unstoppably) and which is at times lovingly intrusive (which I like because it's coming from her). This video gave me more perspectives about ESFPs. And my bro an ENTJ or so I believe, so your comparisons of ESFP with ENTJ - and how their end objectives could be same but their approaches completely different - made the INTP in me more observant, analytical & speculative. Thanks ever so much so such deep analysis!
He's definitely an INFJ; for the INFJ in CPT you have to remember that Ni-Ti are the primary seat of the conscious ego especially in convergent subtypes & Ti is the INFJs agency function. It isn't the 3rd function it's designated to be in MBTI 😊
Congrats! Of course, now that you've finally finished the revisit series, the style, format and contents of the videos have changed so much from when you first started the series two years ago that you'll have to revisit the revisits. Get cracking! (just kidding... great work as always. Thanks for all the effort).
The perception of the future is really interesting to me and I had a thought recently (for whatever it's worth) that the "Ni grip" people talk about in Se-doms is essentially when the Se type pushes Se into the unconscious by becoming too focused on the Ni trajectory and as a result, they temporarily are seeing reality as fixed rather than movable; something akin to fatalism. I've noticed this kind of behavior in misuse of Ni even in someone who I believe to be an ENTJ, where they would "see something coming" in a bad way from how a person was going to behave in the future and rather than trying to change the outcome, they would (probably without even realizing it) help make it happen instead. In this misuse of Ni, whether it's higher or lower in the stack, I think it can very much relate to perfectionism. This thing of "I am afraid of failing, so I am going to try to see failure coming first to outsmart it." But in doing so, this means your energies are focused on predicting outcomes rather than moving reality to influence outcomes, it means your ego investment is not in bringing about the outcome you desire, but in bringing about the outcome you have predicted so that you can best reality through getting there first rather than being beaten by perceived failure, and so you end up in a cycle of misery and even in more extreme cases, despair. This is not to imply that if a person is in such a cycle it is "their fault" (a bootstraps mentality that I think would be very destructive in healing from this) but rather that their psychological patterns are essentially working against them, rather than helping them. And to break free from it, they have to hit at the point where the aberration is, such as perfectionism.
The idea that ESFPs are highly represented in self-help resolves the problem I've had. I commonly get an impression of "Te-Se" from them, but I'd need to ignore some things to be really sure they're ENTJ. I think there are a lot of ESFPs I've mistyped.
I had a problem typing ESFP`s too. Specially because there are not very well represented. I had some male ESFJ who can be very hyper and entertaining, but once you get to know them better, they don`t have the drive and strength the ESFP has, and specially the good Te that makes them have some sense. Oh, and a big way to differiantiate them is the ESFJ hates INTJs, while ESFP loves him.
That's true. Many "intellectuals" found it very shallow and incorrect of me whenI told them, "Plato was a twonk." They woud tell me I am mistaken. I would tell them, "That's impossible. He's dead, you know?" because "was" versus "is", is all the possible objection I could fathom as having occurred. They assumed that I was saying that about Plato as I never looked into his work, or, that I tried and couldn't understand it. They were wrong. I have looked into it, I did understand it and that is precisely why I find him so very twonkesque. Though, I like the concept of platonic relationships.
Thanks for the video Michael. I've always wondered how Ni manifests itself in esfps, esp since you shared the concept of types 'seeking' their inferior functions.
I turned out to be ESFP after doing a vultology test. I definitely relate to everything here. I am very much someone who enjoys living life to the fullest and am in touch with sensual reality. I think being authentic and true to yourself is very important. I struggle a bit with relating to Te tbh, but definitely draw to Ni mysticism and spirituality.
For the ESFP Se-Te is the primary seat of the ego (basically manifesting your Ni-Fi through Se-Te actualisation) in CPT. You might actually be a lot better than you think you are 😊. My fiancé is an ESFP who is incredibly driven, authentic & philosophical - I love him to bits. As an Fi-Si blind type he certainly helps me in this regard
The ESFP is such an adorable type that gets on my nerves, while also astonishing me with how smart they can actually be. Sometimes I wish I could be an ESFP for a day here and there, and just exist. Alas though, I am an INFJ.
What is it like to be an INFJ, if not "just existing"? Huge question, I know. But as an ESFP I find it hard to wrap my head around a possible world in which I don't "just exist."
Its great but sometimes I wish I was able to better focus and not get distracted, especially with my schooling. I'm a medical student and my classmates always ask me why I shop on Amazon during class and not pay attention. And I tell them cause I'm bored and can't focus for 2 hours lol.
@@dearkristinAre you ever able to predict the future? Does your brain ever synthesize a bunch of things into one elegant idea or phrase? When you're talking with someone, do you ever get really excited by some plan or idea and almost forget the world around you? They wouldn't necessarily be long or frequent, but if you can remember feelings like that (of your inferior Ni) and imagine being able to push yourself fully into that mindspace and have all the depth in it that you see in the physical world, that's what it's like. On my end (INTJ), I relish walking in rainstorms or blizzards, having pillow fights, or listening to music on walks through big forests because they force me to give my Ni a break and my Se some exercise.
I watched this video when I first discovered mbti and after watching it again now that I know a lot more about mbti and cognitive functions, I can say that it describes very well the way I - an atypical ESFP - see the world, and how it compares to my dad's perspective, who is an ESFJ. More precisely, the good relationship I have with my father would probably not be so good (I'm not implying "bad", though) if he wasn't an Fe user
17:04 That picture is from YuGiOh the Abridged Season 3 Episode Episode 49: "The Incredible Hobson" ua-cam.com/video/Cky5SQCeVJc/v-deo.html Also, since you love obscure internet references, your favorite character would like be Seto Kaiba, because that's all his duel deck is comprised of. lol
Probably revisiting the revisits. :P If you watch the first ones he did (ua-cam.com/video/zdwGmkc9brI/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/Go-4DZHKJdI/v-deo.html, etc.), they're pretty different from how he's doing them now.
In case you're curious, .Cho.pra is pronounced like .cho.ke-point and Coe.lho. is pronounced like mi.llio.n. Could you make a video specifically on differences between ENFP and ESFP? I usually see them being presented in a way which make both types seem like just a minor variant of one another, at least when it comes to daily life and appearences, when there is in fact a very distinct feeling about each of them.
I always assumed that you searched keywords on google images and picked whatever image best suited what you were trying to describe, and maybe even didn't know that you were referencing something by doing so.
Leonardo is ESTJ. I read his interviews on what he said about himself and came up to this conclusion. His Te + Si shows up as Se as i learnt from Type Tips which came from Socionics. His strong but unvalued Se is responsible for his laugh as demonstrative Fe which is seen in ESFPs and Te appears as introverted feeling.
Tony has developed most of his program on his personal experiences and of those around him. ESFP appreciate Ni and they use it (not as efficiently as they wish tough) to an extent so they apply the patterns they found after an experience in an efficient manner (Te) to other people`s situations. The difference, I think, is that ESFP takes a long time to mature in most cases, but Tony Robbins and Gary Vaynerchuk are a good example of healhty ESFPs.
Agreed I'm an ENFJ & we tend to be social ambiverts at best given the specificity of our Fe-Se. Indeed ESFPs like my fiancé can have a fully integrated Ni.
Could you do a video comparing ENFP vs ESFP? Or at least help me explain the difference. Like, when you say that ESFPs like to jump passionately from idea to idea I get confused because I thought that as an ENFP thing...also in the ENFP revisited video you talked about how ENFPs want to travel and see the world, how they want to jump right in and love things...but isn’t that similar to the Se-Fi combination in ESFPs? As an ENFP myself, I can tell you that we’re often too busy thinking about how cool every idea would be to actually, well, actualize anything LOL. We have so much mental energy that rarely gets put into action until we develop our Te more (something I’m still working on at the age of 20) Like, what’s the difference in energy between Ne and Se in ENFPs and ESFPs. Isn’t one supposed to be more “mental” excitement while the other is more “physical”? I know as an ENFP I tend to get jealous of ESFPs for being able to just jump into things head first without overthinking everything. They don’t have the “Ne vomit” going on in their heads to stop them from running. Being an ENFP can kinda feel like you’re an AI that was given the ability to feel and love (kinda like mega man X lol). Probably because the ENFP is a hybrid type. But this makes me a little confused when you kinda imply that ESFPs and ENFPs are pretty similar, because I feel like our energies are being mixed up a bit here, but I could be misinterpreting. Thank u in advance for replying to my vomit lol
I know you posted this comment a year ago but as an ESFP who has an ENFP sister, it seems that while ENFPs enjoy exploring abstract ideas and jumping between them, ESFPs get excited about ideas too, but more the prospect of experiencing them. They are therefore more likely to actualise them. I know personally I can't detach ideas from experience.
@@dearkristincompletely agree. My ESFP fiancé is heavy on actualisation it's why he's already a senior manager in nursing by the time he was 30. His tenacity and love of ideas inspires me every day indeed ESFPs can have a healthy Ne dip from their dominant Se; I think it's a mistake to possibly assume that they don't consider the abstract possibilities indeed my other half also has a fully integrated Ni...we wouldn't be together otherwise. ENFJ 😊
Sup Mike 😁 I feel like there's something unmentioned (yet vitally significant) regarding the diagram @4:14. AKA mayou please elaborate regarding the significance/intended drivers/meanings behind inserting INFP & INFJ within said diagram? 🤔 Thanks 🙏🏼
Makes me consider my early 20s. I held on tightly to Fe ideals and suffered. I projected these ideals onto others and became a hypocrite of them myself. Only in accepting myself did I drop this and abandon Fe almost entirely. It still lingers but its my goal, to remove Fe considerably and act in accordance with myself.
I find it interesting that you didn't edit your blunders this time. It must be your Fe syncing with the ESFP mantra, as you expertly disclose the inner workings of their mind. Don't get swept in, the Se rush is only temporary! I have a psychology book written by an ESFP, whom I'd always typed as an ESFP because of how he went about the subject and how real-world-applicable he needed it to be, while simultaneously failing to realize futuristic concepts. I used to love those ESFPs, they make me stop thinking.
The whole INTP/ESFP comparison makes as much sense to me as the claim by some YT type gurus that each one allegedly mistakes themselves for the other. PS Jokes on you; The Bear was a former rescue.
Gatsby is NOT an ESFP! Gatsby is an Ni dom and is perhaps the best example of dominant introverted intuition in all literature. On the surface, his parties do make him look like an ESFP, but dig just a little bit below the surface and you see that ESFP couldn't be further from the truth. Check out this clip: ua-cam.com/video/Ka-TT8BhIMs/v-deo.html The whole movie - especially his character - just REEKS of Ni. I'm only pointing this out because because I was quite disturbed by the thumbnail...

you'll see :)
can you do a 3rd revisit? please start with intj.
Been waiting for this video for so long! Thanks Michael, love your take on all the types. Like crack cocaine for me.
Having such a chuckle at ‘contexts of’ 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your videos! They are so appreciated :)
Its really hard to not get along with an esfp

Much is going to be contingent on subtype & aspects of personality superfluous to cognition.

Sure! Don't let me stop you, by any means. Like, seriously, if it's working, don't let me break it trying to fix it.

I don't think Tony Robbins is ESFP, but I'll take it. He seems to have pretty multi-dimensional Ni. ENFJ/EIE is my educated guess.
Tony has developed most of his program on his personal experiences and of those around him. ESFP appreciate Ni and they use it (not as efficiently as they wish tough) to an extent so they apply the patterns they found after an experience in an efficient manner (Te) to other people`s situations.

Definitely not we tend to be social ambiverts at best as our Fe-Se is very specific & discerning

We have so much mental energy that rarely gets put into action until we develop our Te more (something I’m still working on at the age of 20)
Like, what’s the difference in energy between Ne and Se in ENFPs and ESFPs. Isn’t one supposed to be more “mental” excitement while the other is more “physical”?
I know as an ENFP I tend to get jealous of ESFPs for being able to just jump into things head first without overthinking everything. They don’t have the “Ne vomit” going on in their heads to stop them from running. Being an ENFP can kinda feel like you’re an AI that was given the ability to feel and love (kinda like mega man X lol). Probably because the ENFP is a hybrid type. But this makes me a little confused when you kinda imply that ESFPs and ENFPs are pretty similar, because I feel like our energies are being mixed up a bit here, but I could be misinterpreting. Thank u in advance for replying to my vomit lol
I know you posted this comment a year ago but as an ESFP who has an ENFP sister, it seems that while ENFPs enjoy exploring abstract ideas and jumping between them, ESFPs get excited about ideas too, but more the prospect of experiencing them. They are therefore more likely to actualise them. I know personally I can't detach ideas from experience.
@@dearkristincompletely agree. My ESFP fiancé is heavy on actualisation it's why he's already a senior manager in nursing by the time he was 30. His tenacity and love of ideas inspires me every day indeed ESFPs can have a healthy Ne dip from their dominant Se; I think it's a mistake to possibly assume that they don't consider the abstract possibilities indeed my other half also has a fully integrated Ni...we wouldn't be together otherwise. ENFJ 😊
Thank to you "but Korra for me she is ESTP ... You re video are very interesting. I must iproove my English!
New vid!! Thanks Michael
!!!!! you scared me at the end! LOL
8:55 😂
10:40 -12:10 Thank you for pointing this out!
13:30 , 16:03 , 18:10 True 😄
Sup Mike 😁
I feel like there's something unmentioned (yet vitally significant) regarding the diagram @4:14.
AKA mayou please elaborate regarding the significance/intended drivers/meanings behind inserting INFP & INFJ within said diagram?
🤔
Thanks 🙏🏼
It’s basically just the quadras from Socionics
INFJ=Ti/Fe + Se/Ni (Betas)
INFP=Fi/Te + Ne/Si (Deltas)
ESFP=Fi/Te + Se/Ni (Gammas)
ESFJ=Ti/Fe + Ne/Si (Alphas)
This is why i like Stoicism because it is practical philosophy. But also, yes the eclecticism.
Makes me consider my early 20s. I held on tightly to Fe ideals and suffered. I projected these ideals onto others and became a hypocrite of them myself.
Only in accepting myself did I drop this and abandon Fe almost entirely. It still lingers but its my goal, to remove Fe considerably and act in accordance with myself.
I find it interesting that you didn't edit your blunders this time. It must be your Fe syncing with the ESFP mantra, as you expertly disclose the inner workings of their mind. Don't get swept in, the Se rush is only temporary!
I have a psychology book written by an ESFP, whom I'd always typed as an ESFP because of how he went about the subject and how real-world-applicable he needed it to be, while simultaneously failing to realize futuristic concepts.
I used to love those ESFPs, they make me stop thinking.
Hey Ik this was a while ago but what’s the name of the book? I’d be interested in reading psychology from a similar perspective to mine
@@jacobhovsepian8394 the guys name is Kevin Leman, he wrote 'The birth order book' and a bunch of others.
Diya B thank you so much 🙏
The whole INTP/ESFP comparison makes as much sense to me as the claim by some YT type gurus that each one allegedly mistakes themselves for the other.
PS
Jokes on you; The Bear was a former rescue.
Gatsby is NOT an ESFP!
Gatsby is an Ni dom and is perhaps the best example of dominant introverted intuition in all literature. On the surface, his parties do make him look like an ESFP, but dig just a little bit below the surface and you see that ESFP couldn't be further from the truth.
Check out this clip: ua-cam.com/video/Ka-TT8BhIMs/v-deo.html
The whole movie - especially his character - just REEKS of Ni.
I'm only pointing this out because because I was quite disturbed by the thumbnail...

Ayoub Haha, yes, those are quadra values. :) Socionics, bro. The other way is too much of a mouthful for me
Wow so accurate
