How Each Type is their Inferior Function
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The life philosophy and drive of every type is ultimately embodied in the inferior function. Things I missed: ENFPs have this very traditional flavor to them, as if their life mission is to get people grounded to values. ExFJs are ultimately the smoothest operators when it comes to people (in this respect, stronger in Ti than Ti-doms). ExTJs can be very concerned about the subject of morality, and their Te works can express that in humanitarian ways. IxTPs almost have this puppy-dog kind of Fe, that is what I mean by Fe. INxJs can get kind of caught up addressing matters about how one needs to "get ahead" to be successful and survive in this world and how this is the unfortunate reality, whereas other types may be less concerned about this.

I love u thank u
Ti was left out 😭 it's fine though great video regardless
You messed up on ENTJ. Should be Fi
@Aressa from the video. He just time stamped it
This is brilliant. It's almost like each type paradoxically achieves a goal by seeming to do the opposite. Now I think I can see what my Te has been up to all these years,lol! Even though the individual steps that I, as an INFP, take to get to a goal may look anything but logical and organized along the way, I feel a sober commitment to the goal and a strong drive to accomplish it.. Then when the goal is accomplished and I look back on it, I can see how the goofy-looking path I took was actually straight and efficient. Even if I couldn't explain it at the time, I had an underlying feeling that this is what would WORK.
interesting, thanks for sharing your experience
So, I was making a video one day, and began by talking about Se, it being so prevalent, and until I saw this video of yours, I didn't understand why I would start and seemingly have so much more to say about my inferior function, even though I did understand what an important part it plays in my life. And I see your point and examples of my tendency and desires and ability with Se showing up all the time. And it fits in well with my ambitions and the actions I am proud of, because it can also be a considerable challenge much of the time. Another awesome video, Leon, and always much appreciated.

I love this, and I´m trying so hard not to binge watch your channel, but it´s hard :P
Could you point to more on Te-doms? I find it fascinating but quite short.
Hm. interesting.
Man, you're briliant. Your insights are accurate and dig beneath surface to get to these truths that are so on point unlike many sources and their poor generalzations and often wrong assumptions.
agreed!
I didn´t hear the part about Ti as an inferior for ENFJs and ESFJs. I even watched it a second time and couldn´t hear you talking about it. But I could guess what it is. I´m ENFJ and my brother is ESFJ and we both have very different perspectives on the world, but the same goal according to Fe as a leading function.
Normally both of us are proactive types, who seem to never rest. But when we are very relaxed or sometimes under stress can we enter a totally different level. We get pretty calm and somehow emotionless and just see all the logic in the situation and what the most reasonable thing to do is. I´m often very suprised how simple things can look from one moment to the other. It just hits me like a flash.
I find some truth in it: We as dominant Fe-users always want to be reasonable. I very often found myself in the struggle to find reasons for my value-based actions. I have very strong beliefs through Fe and Ni, which I consistently try to grounf in logic.
Very interesting, thank you for that insight.
Interesting! I can see how INFJs and INTJs strive for an ultimate reality or truth, and how my INFP friends are subtly directing situations.
+Rhiannon Schaub It's true!
*whisper it* Secret Directors. I lol'd when he said that. It's so true. ~INFP
Striving towards a function because it's your weakest and thus most illusive and attractive function is something different than "ultimately being" that function.. Percentage wise, we use so little of our inferior function that it's quite illogical to claim that we "are" our inferior function.. even though it may sound romantic, it's just not true.
Look at it this way. If you strip the mind of its ego you are left with the id. It's primitive, ugly, and kind of innocent. We prefer to associate ourselves with the ego that branches out with all its colourful feathers, but the id is the old framework that everything else is built around. It's brain version 0.1.
That is not to say the inferior function is the id, but it's closer to the subconscious than the primary functions. It's more infantile, but it's closer to that fundamental core, the root if you will.
So I think the message here is that the inferior function is closer to our subconscious self than our main functions... well that's my reading of it anyway. However, if we're gonna get philosophical, I'd say the true self can only be the sum of its parts.
Good job observing how inferior functions present them self. Things often have 2 sides of a coin.
+jakopic Thanks!
ISTP: I always feel guilty when I make someone uncomfortable and read in to things too much to the point I dont know what to say or do. Even though on the outside I look and sound so rude and mean, inside Im just drowning in actions I wanna apologize for and punish myself for it silently. Shows how insecure I am about my low Fe lol
Thank you for your insights! I think, I agree. As an INTP and a socialist, what you're saying makes sense to me. I may appear cold and detached from "humanity" in general, but in the end I just want people to have similar chances in life and that no one is forgotten about, which seems like an FE indicator to me.
I also effectively believe that inferior function plays a crucial role in the life of a person that normally goes unnoticed (even from the first years of our life), but this has more to do with the fact that is where fear/insecurity exists. Then, this fear serves as a brake or restriction to make certain decisions, and at the same time serves as a motor when it is faced or tried to overcome. Since the "fears" for each type are different, this invariably leads to a set of different but recurring decisions for each type, changing only the context, setting, time, culture, etc. A small variation in the environment, in relationships and in our experiences when dealing with this function, can make the difference between one path and another, sometimes it can be the trigger to move forward and others to sink us even more.
I have the impression that the first and auxiliary functions respond to the "how", while the tertiary and the inferior the "why", all in constant feedback with the shadow functions.
Maintaining a harmonious relationship with this function is a task that can take a lifetime. It's interesting to see how different types deal with the same problems over and over again. What if we reincarnate with the same archetype for eternity? Wouldn't Nietzsche's eternal return come true? What if we reincarnate into another archetype for eternity? The eternal return would also be fulfilled given the recurring and repetitive nature of cognitive functions and archetypes. What would be the purpose of experiencing life for eternity? Increase collective consciousness? Perfect cognitive functions? So that?
I'd say I aim to be more Te in order to realize my Fi ideal vision. That ideal is often the best of the best so to get close to it, I need to be better with money, more effective in my career, utilize time more efficiently, all Te things. I don't think I AM Te, it's just what I view as necessary for my ultimate goal which is created by Fi. If I WERE Te, I'd simply be content to run a company, have successful businesses, get lots of things done, but those things are not actually the end goal for me. The end goal is freedom and being surrounded by what I care most about.
I think it's useful to think of the 1/4 slots as displaying a frequency ratio of 8 to 1. Considering the total number of hours in the day, and the exclusive nature of the two functions when in the 1/4 slot, you can think of Si as the ENTP's sitting on the stool between boxing rounds.
I totally agree with this, and have thought about this the same way for a while now. Its almost like every personality is a different recipe cooked with 8 different ingredients, the shadow functions are like spices that are hidden in the dish, but contribute massively to its flavour or something. I dono about this analogy, but its hard to explain
Love seeing INTP getting talk time (My type) in this video. I enjoyed it and I definitely think you have the Fe of INTPs down. I constantly tell my wife my little social rules and I start with a neutral standpoint that I want to help everyone and make their lives easier/better. But when the violate one of my social rules, I lose respect for them and will no longer go out of my way for someone.
I will hold the door for someone, I will be VERY mindful to be sure I am not in anyone's way or impeding them, I will heal in a video game or support... but if you barge in expecting people to move for you, or are loud and boisterous in public and disrupt everyone, or you mouth off in a game (even if it's not directed at me) you are completely cut off and I will never respect you again. It's a betrayal of societal social contracts.
+Vazzaroth This is certainly my understanding of how many INTPs look at etiquette, thanks for sharing Vazzaroth!
+Vazzaroth I fully agree. Being an INTP myself, I always try my best to be good but show, even a hint, of disrespect, you're as good as dead to me, in terms of gaining my respect. Things are different though when I have already befriended the person. My loyalty starts to cloud my objectivity to the point that I rationalize their actions.
Thin skinned ?
Same here. Also INTP.
Yeah I agree, realizing how truly thin skinned I am (INTP), and also seeing that I'm the last to know this. But there is another aspect of inferior Fe that sometimes come out -- it's fairly rare at this point, but I randomly experience an inexplicable love for all human beings from time to time. It makes no sense and as I said it doesn't happen very often. But this is the best I ever feel! Getting this feeling is what motivates me to adopt my "nice guy" role. Unfortunately it doesn't usually work, but that's a another discussion.
@@PunkFiddler ISXJ
As an ENTP I remember that one time my INFJ friend got sick, and I personally delivered a garlic bulb, ginger tea and vitamin D pills to his doorstep, even though he told me on the phone he didn't want me to bring anything to him. He sadly didn't take em, but he still got well. That's pretty much my Si funneled via Se-role.
I have too often thought I was a feeler because of my Fe until I theorized this same conclusion. Glad you said it because I felt my empathy was way too strong to be a thinker. It’s like I care a bunch but I used to not wanna admit it because people would realize that I’m pretty soft.
I like this. I've heard that the inferior function is the actualized version of self for each type, and I didn't think about it until I watched this video, but that's because of the relationships between the functions. For the primary to operate at its best, the inferior function has to be highly developed, otherwise the expression will be unbalanced.
You have a point...i am an INTJ and all that means.
When i am not mulling over my next insight, I am binging on something not so healthy. ...Deep inside i know i am a wild girl. SE?
Its funny how mbti continuously paradoxises itself (yeah its a word now) You thought the dominant function is what the type was strongest at? Nope its actually both that and the devalued top function. Oh no wait its actually the 4th function. Oh no wait there is no real strong function, they all just play a different role.
+val Exactly.
Val his language is also very wishy washy, every person can do everything and he is trying to notice where you can see that that is true
Im not sure that the 4th function would be more obvious when someone is stressed or rather happy
Ive found people dont tend to use 4th function, because they dont see the value in it (moment to moment) but havent checked to see if their 'deeper meaning' to life is reflective of 4th function
obviously if you compare 2 things you can rank them, and compare 2 things with those 1 will often have more extremes, this is the essence of mbti and how you can create your own models using other meta programs
Si, Ni ordering perception
Se, Ne taking in information though perception
Ti, Te checking the reasons (doesnt have to be logical) of themself, group
Fi, Fe their own or group values
You are good - The talk about INTJ really fit most childhood
thank you, Mokkamann!
Fits me perfectly too
I am an ENFP, I actually agree with what you said, I have so many instances, and I mean A LOT, where I just start feeling nostalgic about the past ...
Also when I am under pressure, I become very effective and organized to finish a job or to take care of a situation that must be handled. This could be Si Te taking over.
...I just had this conversationwith my SO where I really saw our lower function pairs coming out, and was reminded of your point in this video.
Him: "Let's meet up for a spontaneous move of passion! * unsubstle hormone related joke *" (Fi-Se)
Me: "Okay, here's this healthy homecooked meal I prepared for the occasion. Let me delight in your pleased reaction." (Si-Fe)
Him: "Yay, surprise nom stuff."
Like, once you settle into a certain routine/comfortableness with someone
Other examples would include the local INFP who's pretty reserved with strangers but totally the responsible big bro everyone listens to, and an ENFP relative who always ends up in 'story swapping mode' once she gets comfy & relaxed. Then, of course, said story ends up consisting of how she dyed her neighbor's dog blue in her mischievous little girl years, reminding everyone who they're dealing with.
+KendrixTermina its beautiful to hear of these stories
I agree that the higher functions are the tools in our toolbox, and we use those tools to procure the goals of the weaker ones
But what if your functions dont match your stereotypes.. like I think I go by infp functions but I don't like reading, I can't write, I can't be a therapist and I am REALLY REALLY bad at comforting people, emotions make me very uncomfortable, I cry a lot and I hate emotions..it hurts me so much...
Also how do I know that your interpretation of the mbti types is real?..like everyone has a different interpretation of the mbti types so who is the correct one..wheres the right answer?...
Very true! I love how God made all different types of people each layered in complexity and diversity yet also in an orderly and systematic fashion.
+Rob Trindade I know, I agree, and its beautiful.
Rob Trindade
we are made to be the body of Christ and in a body there is many types of cells that play different roles. this is reflective of that reality
The way I see it, one values the manifestation of one's inferior function, but does not want to actually use it.
I like this perspective.. It makes sense why ISTPs are called vigilantes.. our deep care for others. Ive gotten INFJ on those tests before too.
I love Jung's typology and Beebe's expansion of it because of its usefulness as a pathway to self awareness of one unconscious life. But all of this Myer Briggs terminology and ENFP's and INxx blah blah blah words is extraordinarily anal and boring. Not much of life discussed here except terminology discussed from a very lofty (and inflated) place. Sorry
Yeah, this is why my relationship with infp:s is so incredibly hate-love. Okay, you too are sensitive and contemplating life, kind of a Byronic hero etc, yet my Te polar Makes it incredibly hard to continue the conversation (or even makes me hostile, i hide it) when they push Te and talk about idk computer science and how to make chairs not rub the floor... It hurts my brain... They say J types are strict and arranged, but for me the infp comes across as way more adult than I am in such a distinct way, even if they might be fucked up drug addicts, they just have that Te focus that i just can't deal with. Te is so hard to me that it might feel like Si for a sec and I might like it if it has to do with the Si agenda like googling the scientific consensus on what is a good skincare routine.. For some reason delta quadra people talking Te hurts my brain more than estp:s talking Te. It really is stigmatizing to be such a strong Te polar, it makes me look dumb and naive, always avoiding filling froms like a motherfucker even at 26... But I digress, sorry.
I think our primary function may be what gets most of our conscious attention, but don't necessarily dominate our behaviour (which is the sum of our conscious AND unconscious mind). Maybe that is what you was trying to say? :-)
And yes, I am an INFJ. for the record.
In our perspective though, INFJ that is, the Ni is part-subconscious and always active, so it really is the dominant in our case. Depends on context of dominant of course. Various ways to tackle it.
That was very interesting! I'll have to think about that for awhile. I'm an INTJ and it's true that I am going for a beautiful home and garden one day; but, I think I'm even more passionate about my business where I help people be true to their dreams and I help them express their dreams through their websites. By dreams, I mean their own passions and creativity and desires. I really want people to experience that happiness and self-actualization. It is what fuels me. The inferior Se is more of my relief. My NiTe goals are my reason for being and my Se is my source of relief or escape when I need a break but it's not my ultimate reason for being. You are correct that it is strong though. It HAS to be strong to balance out my passionate dominant/supporting function's pursuits. I need an equally strong ability to relax/escape.
It's almost scary how this is true, if i think about people around me and myself
Hahaha At the end of the party and all is exhausted the ENFP is taking care of the Bill.... Hahaha so true! I have no idea how many times I have seen this happen!
If all the functions are characters in the story of your life, and when you zoom out you see the fourth function which speaks your philosophy, then would the title of your book be the concept that describes your fourth function?
Some call the 4th function aspirational. This fits this video's point. The 4th function is where we should be headed and the other functions are used to get us there.
I knew u was an INFP... xD
I realized this too, people kinda feel pleasure in their inferior functions, they jump between their type and their "opposite type" a lot, specially when they're not very self-controlling. It's like, a recurring addiction that can go too far and uncontrolled sometimes... That's kind of a love-hate relationship. You hate your inferior function, but you need it, you overindulge in it, you are a bit of it. Sometimes we hate people who have our inferior function as their dominant, but actually, we are a bit of that as well, we're just projecting our self-hate into them sometimes... But now always, though, sometimes it just happens that we really have reasons against the way they use it, but anyways... I guess we suppress it to be ourselves, but it gives us pleasure too in a way, it's kinda like... A psychological complex!
truth truth truth! I have observed this a lot. I am an INTJ, and I go full Se Fi
lol so the isfj was becoming a the entp and the entp was becoming the isfj
I believe it's binary (so isfj > intp; entp > esfj) and not becoming so much as developing another side to one's personality.
I really feel like you're "all here"; does that make sense? You are, far and away, my most ultimate favorite guy-who-does-typing-type-things-videos... guy. I LOVE your videos. I really get you. Are you in school? What are you studying? I apologize if you've answered these sorts of questions before.
(I've edited and re-edited this comment a large number of times before posting, and although I don't think this version is exactly what I'm trying to relay, it's close. )
+SmittenKitten Thanks so much! I love your comment as it is, it is wonderful to be called a favorite. I'm a bit past school now. I work as a life coach :)
Type Tips A life coach - how totally perfect! I'm so grateful to you for doing this with your life. I hope the schooling comment didn't sound condescending, and I apologize if it did. Thanks, again, for the great content. :D
So we have an out-of-reach dream that requires another life to fulfill it. A clue from the maker?
ENFJ? Guess we really are enigmas😜😅😂
this was very interesting, thank you! What do you think about "dual" relationships? functions with reversed order like entp-isfj?
Very nice! Your talk of functions having roles to play reminds me a lot of John Beebe's work. I think that's a really innovative way to look at type.
6:26 Se inferior - so true: strength and beauty.
I love your takes on the types. Great channel
Thank you!
10:04 Inferior Ne ISTJ & ISFJ
Basically, I think our inferior function is our balancing function. Mine (Se) brings me relief when I (an INTJ) need an escape from all my NiTe pursuits. Like I'll work for hours or days straight towards a goal and suddenly I'll just have to step away from my desk and go do something Se, like watch tv or do a chore. It's my relief.
That's not Se, it's actually Si. Why? You are not performing for a group or audience, but simply enjoying a personal experience. The same for example, for someone who plays an instrument, it is different to go to play with a band or a group, than just playing alone. INTJs have many secret hobbies (Si), but they don't show them in public (Se inferior). He mentions this when he talks about the eighth function of each type, where he says that it can be used for leisure and relax. In the end you are partly correct, given the fact that the fourth and eighth functions interact with each other, the introverted function feeds the extraverted.
Do you think getting drunk can make some people get access easier to their inferior function? (What I mean by easier is something like without being anxious about messing up using their inferior function, because getting drunk as a person who normally is kind of (socially) anxious can (and in my experience and what I saw, tend to) become much less anxious. It seems like alcohol cleans up social anxiety for many people (whatever type they are, and that way they are able to use their weakest frontstack function, the inferior function). Im not totally sure about this at all, and I dont advise drinking alcohol to not-afraid-to-use-our-inferior-function-while-being-at-some-party, i dont advise anything like that, I just thought I share what I saw, although my Ni is tertiary so this might be a miss instead of a hit :)
I think its common sense but I thought i put it here that of course alcohol makes every function (basically your whole brain and body) function worse then normally would. I was simply thinking about the "removing-social-anxiety-effect-of-alcohol" thing, because I personally think it's a thing, although I didn't do extensive research or anything close to that :D
I'd say so!
Yes................... me relax................. strange position.................. numb leg................. oh no............... food can be good.........right kind of food..........looks around.......... such a mess..... maybe I should clean................ just after some interesting things..... those things just come up constantly...........comfy sofa............can not get up
Oh there is a someone who seems to be having a cold.... I think...something needs to be done... maybe... not so sure...
Let's make this thing super nice to use...based on this and this...dumbing it down... yes we need that... no reason to let everyone see all the parameters... it should still have the maximum functionality... ummm....
+Ano Nymos ENTPs and ENFPs really dig Si, they really like fine living.
Why do the socionics reverse functions of each type? for example, SEI (isfp) is according to them SiFe, which is ISFJ according to MBTI/Jung. I don't understand...
This is kind of a controversial issue--not all socionists agree with me that socionics simply reverses the functions. Socionics call SiFe an ISFp because they are ultimately a perceiving type, having Si, a perceiving function, as a dominant function. An FiSe on the other hand would be called an ISFj, with Fi, a judging function leading.
I do like the new perspective on things but for me it feels sliiightly off or maybe i misunderstood what you meant but let me try to explain from my INFP pesrpective:
I noticed I use Fi and Ne as my dominant functions however when experiencing new things e.g meeting new people or job interviews because of the unfamiliar setting the inferior Te function surfaces more and so in interractions i will sometimes appear outgoing, almost extrovert like, and someone who just does things since conversations are usually centered around things that one does/thinks of doing. However upon getting to know me, people will see my more introverted reserved side and ultimately my true self, its just that their first impression of me is that of a Te user. And here is where i disagree with the video since the way you made it sound is as if the inferior function is used too often around friends but, id say if its someone im close and comfortable with they will be aware of my Fi Ne side and deffinately not Te, ask my close friends and ENTJ mum who think I am a lazy mfka for a reason 🤣 they know i just daydream and talk big but am short on action. (any INFPs with similar experiences? Im very curious)
i’ve always thought the same thing but in a different context. i was super skinny and not athletic (i’m an entp, explains why lol) so i became obsessed with the gym at like 16 i’m 23 now and haven’t stopped lifting consistently (4-6 times a week)
when all the huge bear motha fuckas always wanna lean down and become distance runners . im always like ??? dog you could become a world class powerlifter but you wanna run?... ooook (even tho i’m the same i’m obsessed with strength but am naturally more of a runner... body type wise)
Oh my god I really relate to the inferior Se description from the INTJ. I want to express my true self. I know that it’s in me somewhere inside. I’m always thinking about that “true” me inside. And talking about how I want to become a butterfly which has undergone a metamorphosis.
I strive for beauty in self. Also I’m always seeking for the ultimate reality of the world.
I guess you could say that the dominant+auxiliary functions are the basic self; and the tertiary+inferior functions are what people thrive towards.
In that sense, a person's personal development can be seen by how satisfied is their inferior function; comparing the function hierarchy to the Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Can I share a video with you that I did on NFs and meaning and collect your response?
What a provocative video. I will be trying on, and wearing these ideas, for a long time to come. I wonder what you think about this theory today?
I still think it very much applies. Now working with clients it becomes very clear.
@@TypeTipsLeonTsao Thank you very much for your reply! BTW I am newly working my way through your videos on ADHD on your other channel. I am an old dog learning new tricks! Probably most of your clients are younger, and will use your tools, benefit from them, then move on in life. But, some of us who have struggled through our lives without these insights may have a greater appreciation for them. Like seeing the light appear after a much longer tunnel of darkness. Thank you Lord for Leon!
@@julieolson1402 Experience in life really helps a lot in being able to use tools, because of the amount of wisdom garnered along the way. Thank you for making use of the material I bring, I appreciate that. It brings me happiness that it does!
Inferior Se / INTJ here. Can confirm -- what's strong and beautiful(in a very reality-based way) is something that is deeply moving and important to me.
This is pretty accurate. My inferior is Te and somehow my life revolves around logic and math, I study electronics and I just absolutely love logical procedures, math algorithms and I am definitely into programming hahah. although on everyday basis I'm sort of random and emotional. And yeah, I am leading towards logically organized and succesful life.
My dad is ISTP and he is exactly what you say. Ultimately he's a great dad and although he's not so directly loving he provided the best for me and my sister.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Type Tips and btw I am an ISFP most likely, although some people and tests say that I must be an INFP. how can I tell which perceiving function I prefer?
It's like each function wants to express itself in different ways through playing roles in human lives (they're the thematic forces of human mythology)
a wonderful perspective! Could you perhaps take it farther and connect these ultimate goals to the Enneagram types' core motivations, the arrows, and the Virtues and Holy Ideas? The Enneagram types are also looking for something missing in their souls. Although there aren't exact correspondences between MBTI and Enneagram types, I think the ways the Enneagram type flavors the MBTI follow your descriptions. Just some thoughts about something that struck me as an INFP type 5 who doesn't usually look like the stereotypical 5 (like yourself, lol). Take a look at the Enneagram Institute's website for the details, or listen to videos by Sandra Maitri.
I feel like you "get" ISFJ more than anyone else I've watched... I know we are duty driven and always trying to do the right thing, but I've always sensed an inner irreverence that didn't seem accounted for by all the stereotypes. This makes total sense!! Thank you for busting up that "serious martyr" stereotype.
Very true! So I'm an ENTP but you can find me reminiscing about the times I used to hang out with old friends (we all graduated from college and moved on) and wishing for things now to be as they used to be. Also at work (Post Office), I become familiar with my coworkers and supervisor to the point where I feel a letdown when I have to work with people I am not used to, but usually the sense of familiarity comes back after a short period of time, hehe. While my Si is very weak, I often aspire for positive change (wherever that happens to be) and hope to change the system and leave it better than when I came in ^_^
This was really interesting. And I feel like it was very true as well. As an INFJ I'd say my ultimate goal, what makes me want to live my life even though it can be sad and boring and frustrating sometimes, is understanding the world. Figuring it all out, how it connects, how people behave, how societies work, how love and feelings function etc. I want to figure out the raw truth. And I want to see the beauty and the ugliness of everything. It's sort of a thirst for knowledge, but something I ultimately want to figure out on my own through my own observations and analysis.
Totally get it. Like for infjs their demon function is Si as in the believe acting on life is hard... Such as me growing up in Detroit... So they want to use Se in such as way as to create Harmony so that Se looks good.
Couldn't you just say that perhaps each personality type at that party concerned itself with the valued function that it was least confident in? Is it possible that most people simply assume that they will manage with their top functions, and therefore concern themselves more with their weak functions in some circumstances?
Genius insight! Very consistent with what I've unconsciously observed about the types as well... Your channel is great.
omy gawd this y after clubing almost whole night i make sureveryone is atleast getting a glass water to drink and eat before we leave i am more retrospective of other people like i start caring it happrns before leaving for something fun or coming back i m an entp female
yes, as an entp I use my Ne to see things through many perspectives and learn everything but to ultimately have a lot of knowledge to store with my Si, and maybe even form a system of my own
what is more powerful though.. an infj or an intp on drugs?
+Matthew Alistair I'll test that with my best friend next time we'll get together. Hang on ;)
hahaaaa uhh be safe
Haha don't worry I was merely joking. As a INFJ I don't do that kind of things although I must admit since starting this journey of knowing I'm a INFJ, I've wondered what it's like to be high cause I'm curious to know what crazy theories and shit I'd think about etc haha
But then again I don't feel like I need to be high or use weed in order to think creatively or properly lol

you will completely zone out for minutes at time and have extremely strong realizations that slap you in the face , you will also get caught up in the amazing visual picture that is formed around this realization,
Inferior Function is their deeper truth or philosophy. I think you said this well.
As an 'Oldish' INTj and with the hindsight of my years, this is very true.
When someone tells you who they are, you should listen to who they say they are.
Then, Trust but Verify...actions often speak louder than words.
Now, what does this INTJ do when her inner child insists on driving her to buy more donuts?
Excellent Video and I have shared and saved your channel.
Teleology...you just taught me something! Thank you and for everyone else...because an INTJ is in the house and a lesson tax must be collected... ABSTRACT
Aristotle is commonly considered the inventor of teleology, although the precise term originated in the eighteenth century. But if teleology means the use of ends or goals in natural science, then Aristotle was rather a critical innovator of teleological explanation. Teleological notions were widespread among Aristotle’s predecessors, but he rejected their conception of extrinsic causes such as intelligence or god as the primary cause for natural things. Instead, he considers nature itself as an internal principle of change and as an end, and his teleological explanations focus on what is intr ...
After watching Band Of Brother , i join medic in high school - ENTP
I have recently discaverd thet I am ISFP, have been folowin some other typs. For explaining feeling often miss words. But you somehow profine your way of observing and with balance have expretion aligned. Evrytime listening I ask my self how can I understend you more clearly. Like you speak difrent English. Thank you very much!
+Josephine Milo thanks so much Josephine! Appreciated.
Spot on for me. An intj, according to the sixteen personality web site.
Maybe that’s why as an infj I relate really well to ISTP
Our lives are marked not by the tools we use but by the aims we have
What a genius observation. Nuff' said. +1
My intuition tells me you kind of scared of ENTPs and wanna make them mushy, so they don't attack the obvious inconsistencies of your interpretation. ;) and the obvious clickbait quality of the title. It gives a hunch in a direction that you could be ENTP with a low self-confidence pushing yourself to be something you are not. The eye-brow dynamics and zooming out are some of the clues. Anyhow, interesting perspective to think about. Best
The fact that ENTP was taking care is probably not related to their inferior function, on the contrary. In my experience it's more about creating a proper environment where one can practice Ne and a good framework for Ti
iirc von Franz in her lectures says something similar
It's been so long and I still can't find my type, I think I narrowed it down to INFP, ENFP, ENTP, or INTP. Is there a final way I can figure this out?
I guess the only way you could be sure is learning how your cognitive functions work together on their positions (for example as leading or as creative). If you want to test that you pick the right one, just watch your own behavior. I would first watch out, if its introverted Feeling or Thinking wich is placed in your Ego. The other one of course exists aswell, but its in the subconscious. So you might recognize it aswell, but you are normally not aware of it.
If you figuerd this out you are down to two types. Than it´s only a matter of deciding between Introvert and extravert and thats a matter of your energy-level. Be honest about it: Does it help you recover your engeries hanging out with people or having alonetime. Don´t missunderstand me, a human beeing always needs to do both, but it´s always one which gives us the energy to do the other...
You're so rational and measured for an infp
this is great thank you. a nice new view to look at
A distinction without a difference.
This was a good idea for a video!
True for entj.
Love your videos!
wow!
type bookmarks in your video would be cool
+dwelfusius lol the effort! perhaps so!
consider this..by doing that you are saving thousands of viewers the effort of having to look for it :)
*how do you like them apples!*
+dwelfusius I guess so. I can use paper because I don't like to edit videos haha. It will help me too so I won't forget types here and there.
or if you're really lazy you can just type 9:12 ENTP in the comment..wouldn't that work?
+dwelfusius lolz too much work to view video again to do that! I'll just do better next time!
I thought extjs had fi inferior, not ni inferior.
