Hi Harry. I think my wife is convinced that ENTJ is relatively accurate for me according to this video. This video also helped her to realize that INFP is a better fit for her than ISFP or ISFJ. You ACTUALLY built on Jung… you didn’t tear him completely down and then claim you are basing on him. You learned from him… and are modifying ACCORDINGLY. Many of the things I was noticing wrong… you seem to have gotten there first in many ways. I have things to add or entertain… but I know that if I build, I will have no choice but to base some building on your enhancements to Jung’s expositions. Very, very good job. Truly. I’ve seen all the systems, entertained them all… and was beginning to envision “my own”, but really, just trying to MARRY what exists into something cohesive… but, they’re all contradictory and fall apart in reality and COMPLETELY DEVIATE from the actual definitions of functions and redefine them completely; leaving unnecessary gaps and overlaps. Very well done.
My favorite video of yours yet. The reason being twofold; I enjoyed listening to your function descriptions and then trying to accurately guess which one you were describing, but also because your descriptions make sense without bordering on the same useless stereotypes that we've all read and seen a thousand times by this point.
Another great video Harry! It’s very helpful. By watching it yesterday, I was pretty sure that I am a ETS-Nf, and then you came up with that result today after carefully considering the information I sent your way as part of your excellent typing service. All I can say is that I’m a very grateful client of yours and will continue to strongly support CPT because it’s honestly awesome. Also, I consider you the first real professional typologist I have encountered so far, and I stretch the word “professional”.
Learning this makes me realize how much I don't know about myself. I'm just here like I relate to a few of these. I just learn I have a problem with not knowing the facts.
When I see the part one of this video, and then now follow up with part two, I cannot be other than impressed by the way you are able to be so specific in the differences between how the functions interact and how that plays out for each type. I think this will help many. As an ENFP I am particularly happy whenever you give some examples. And this does confirm my type for myself which is always nice :) Though sometimes (always...) my mind thinks I am an INFP...Or an INFJ....Or an ESFP....But hey, that is just me thinking it is boring to have found out my type...Much more fun to still be searching :) Nice touch with the Jung book in the background by the way.
I'm trying to deter my type since over an year. It took me quite a while to accept that I seem to be an intj. Whilest closely listening to your description of every type I still felt myself drawn to be an intj, though istj seemed close too. Thank you!
Duuuude. I'm an ISFJ (I think) and I've been planning to move to an apartment. I feel like my Ne has taken control because I've been _overwhelmed_ with the possibilities of how I could design it. It's very fun! But tiring. I've been trying to narrow it down by putting it in a spreadsheet, but then new information comes in and I'm like *uugghhhh* I have to re-plan all over again! I think I even got a headache a couple of times doing this.
16:30-10:09 Exactly! I used to work as a secretary, writing thousands of business letters. But when I'm writing one for myself, I feel somewhat insecure! And when I have to create logical structures such as arranging my room or making a schedule, I am overwhelmed by all the possibilities - my thoughts literally diverge! (Now I finally understand what divergent means in this context.) In such instances, talking to someone else helps me, even if the other person doesn't answer. So it seems I'm an INFP. By the way, I think the timestamp for Extraverted Thinking should be at 16:30 because it's then when you begin to talk about it.
Thank-you. While I’ve read your CPT book and so was pretty confident of the accuracy of my dominant function, looking at the oppositional functions highlighted the trail because I experience more certainty about the areas that need work and don’t come easily than confidence in why what works is successful. I have laser focus on my less successful functions. Maturity, for me, is allowing myself to embrace experiences where I can be effective in these less natural arenas without using someone else’s ruler for my progress. I’m more certain when I’m on my authentic path and what advice/criticism I can lay to the side because it suits someone else’s way of being in the world. A map is only as good as one’s understanding of one’s relative orientation. 🗺🗿🤔
I laughed aloud with recognition when you read out the description of Oppositional Extroverted Thinking! Definitely resonated. Thanks again for another brilliant video! 😄
Really informative and well structured video. Also, thank you for providing such insightful content that one can self-reflect on in such isolating and difficult times where arguably, self-reflection is a much needed activity. Anyways, cheers and take care!
Great video! Just a technical thing that could be made better: it would have been clearer if the timestamps had started with the introduction, rather than the presentation itself. E.g. 3:57 would become the new start of the Ne section, instead of 4:43
Ya Boi!!! I've been waiting for this! Although, the delay was an excellent strategy to get people to watch old videos. I don't think I would have ever watched a video on empathy because of the weaponization of the "empathy" word and how it's just been abused for vanity purposes (or to distract from spooky skeleton's in closets), but it was a great video! I have notes from it on my phone and e-mail! Thank you, sir. I'm looking forward to listening to this video...Right now!
Haha yes I did hold back on this release but I hope the wait was worthwhile - encouraging people to check out the more foundational videos was a worthwhile bonus though! Agreed re: empathy :)
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory Yes it was, and just when I recovered from removing all the pins and needles, like a magnetic force, they returned with that teaser at the end of the video. Ouch, I mean, thanks again! Take care, sir.
Fascinating. I resonated equally with my ENFP type as I did with ISFP. And as I age, the feedback I get from others about how they perceive me is much more ISFP. They say I present as aloof, cool and confident and after knowing me, say I am a person to call upon in crisis. I heard this is how people see the ISTJ.
:D Love these vids! It's so interesting hearing how the oppositional function plays into one's thought process. It really is easy to miss, isn't it? But it's always there. Sidenote: I must confess I am watching these also to figure out what personality one of my favorite video game characters is XD
Exactly! The greatest influence is the opposing functions upon the convergent (and altogether more conscious) functions :) Love the side note btw, I also enjoy applying types to video game characters!
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory XD but yeah I'm trying to figure out Aloy's personality and it's bugging me. I can't decide if she's Esfp, ESTP or some weird INFJ super hard to tell. Oh well.
Love this video!! :) thank you so much! You’re really great at explaining and breaking concepts down. My conclusions: SE Introverted function - yes ENTP - maybe ISFP - maybe ENTJ - maybe INTP - maybe?
The video is extremely helpful! I definitely feel aligned on the Ni-Se axis. I mostly lean towards INTJ or INFJ. Just one suggestion, kindly adjust the various sub sections in-line with when you start the descriptions rather than slightly before. I noticed it becoming hard to track when you changed cognitive functions. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a trick to reduce confirmation bias.
Are you a man or a woman? Because the nfj group is the rarest for men and the ntj group is the rarest for women. Either way, you’re going to get treated like a special hero/heroine when actually you’re an average person with flaws and hopes like everyone else.
I feel and feel. I have to do everything from my heart or I am not interested. I have to be sincere. My heart is feelings strongly. It is overwhelming sometimes. ❤❤❤❤. I am an INFP.
INFP makes a lot more sense to me. I used to be extremely certain of what I believed which was based on a more limbic and emotional basis. Growing up has been about challenging those beliefs. This shows that my extraverted thinking is more of an authoritative or self-directing force. It's always uncomfortable to confront my identity and beliefs but it's been instrumental to my development as a person. Here's the extroverted thinking coming out. I'm not sure so I'm still considering getting typed by you in the future.
Can you help me? I relate to intps inferior FE version but also to istps. Sometimes I think about what others and predict whta happens if I do certain thing and I'd the other person would be annoyed, but sometimes with my friends, when I will go impulsively without thinking about the environment and then maybe regret it, depend if I did something embarrassing or not. So is it possible I'm istp? Or I'm intp? Or Maybe I'm another type and not these two, idk.
do you have a video on enfj vs enfp? i matched both of these descriptions and those are the two im not sure which i am. lol. im either a very silly and messy enfj or a very logical, grounded enfp actually, personally i see the types as archetypes that exist in all of our pysches. i think we fit into groups of types. So, personally, I fit into these types: ENFJ, ENFP, INFP, ISFP, ESFP, ESFJ, also somewhat ENTP, INTP, ESTP, INFJ, INTJ, ESTJ but i dont fit into these: ENTJ, ISTJ, ISFJ, ISTP I'm really good at typing other people but i have a harder time typing myself. I see it as dichotomies. N vs S is intelligence vs athleticism. and T vs F is the head vs the heart. Personally I feel like I'm very well rounded. I am intellectual as well as athletic, etc. So for you, I would say you are definitely an NF type. You are definitely intellectual, so you have to be either N or T, or both. But you are very emotionally sound, so that indicates you are F rather than T. Usually T types are very grumpy and unwell. So you are likely NF I think you are probably a J because you are so organized. P types seem to be usually more messy. And I think you are an introvert simply because you seem somewhat reserved. So I think you are INFJ, although you could also be ENFJ, INFP, INTJ, etc
Another great video :) I'm an infj dancer (breakdance) but I like to just get on the floor do something powerful, finish and get out, I don't like to stay too long on the floor dancing to loud music with crowd, it's draining my energy. I'm also not good at improvising, I prefer to create my perfect choreography and then bring it to life :)
Do you thinks the intensity of the outburst is caused by ni being projected through se? C.s Joseph seems to argue that ni is willpower based because the kinetic energy linked to se is the exertion of willpower thus must be ni through cognitive orbit.
Hi harry, just wondering since the start of your typing people career, what would be the rough estimate of those done from the point where you felt were correct, If i do recall correctly you did mention you had some difficulty at first which is totally understandable and something every personality system goes through specifically objective personality who had a very similar experience to you with the ways they described it in comparison with the way you described it but then it is something that happens to invoke change in the right direction and change for the better is always a positive thing for more precision.
I'd say the accuracy was about 70% back in January, 80% in March and 90% from April :) Right now the focus is on making it more effective and allow for more debrief time for the client.
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory There does seem to a big contrast in the ways the systems type people as well, especially socionics and vultology. For example there's an individual called Odim who has his own channel NiNe show typed as a ni dom as seen with the interview with binyamin tsdalik A advocate for OP and other interviewers who collectively agree that he is that type from what ive learned and he was typed that by OP but socionics typed him as a infp in their systems (strange however with the difference in the schools of thoughts, that could be the reason why also a certain bias would influence the thoughts of the interviewers of course, regardless still a little weird). Another individual Erik Thor ,who you've commented in his video, was typed as a entp by OP but in my opinion didn't seem like the entps that i've met however with the nuances taken into consideration it's entirely possible there's a lot more beneath the surface of a individuals behaviour outside of the cameras and their true antics on a hourly basis for example but what do i know ahaha just a kid doing an unnecessary amount of exploring. I mean it does kind of come to point of how do we determine what's authentic and true verses what's not. there does seem to be a lot of conflicting views for sure I apologise with the tangent just picked up some interesting stuff and my ne decided to have some fun with it
Hey Harry, you mentioned that oppositional Si can present itself by an individual wanting to be as authentic as possible and present themselves to the fullest extent of who they are. Could you elaborate on why this is a result of oppositional Si? In another ENTP video you mentioned that ENTPs have a tendency to mask themselves in accordance to the social situation, so I´m not very sure as to how I should understand these types. Were you only referring to ENFP with the whole authenticity description?
The authenticity is relative to the codec Si is assigned to - the ENTP would be the reverse of the ENFP as a result, and therefore concerned more with intellectual authenticity than that pertaining to character. There is naturally an overlap (as there is with functions themselves) but ENTPs tend to prioritise the integrity of their frameworks.
I think I’m an infj, but I’m not sure if that’s my subconscious trying to be “rare.” I wish it wasn’t so overexposed, so that way, I’d have a fighting chance at figuring out who I am without doubting myself.
Well said, I am also unsure about my own type, and also unsure if my own subconscious is trying to suppress different descriptions, of the inferior functions.
yup, still an isfp lol -- i wanna work on my Te!!! i live with an ENTJ and i honestly think i've gotten him to do a lot of Te things for me bc i feel insecure when confronted with Te tasks. but lately i view him the way people view a painkiller (lol)...like, just knowing it's there if you need it is enough to kind of trick yourself into handling life without relying on it! i'm trying to learn to use my Fi to motivate my Te...like it's shy and insecure but i fear that if i don't take actions, then i will miss out on life. i find that when i'm working on a goal, i can get carried away with minute details and miss out on actually accomplishing the goal. but it works really well for playing the piano. i can easily understand what needs to be improved and i can see more layers to a piece than i think most people listening to the music will even appreciate. at a certain point it will make absolutely no difference to most people but i will still see the difference and it will matter to me tremendously (in other words: you were right on!)
Watching your videos rn feels important for me and my understanding. And now i have watched all your videos about cognitive function. Now based on my comment and ur study. Can u guess my type ?
Can an Ne-Fe axis focus on atmpspheres free from people, such as moods and emotions found within specific objects or rooms? This has been a supremely common phenomena in my life, feeling the general emotions of a specific group, atmosphere, or even certain objects while not necessarily resonating with me
This one was not my favorite. I have ADHD and my problem was that the information was almost too condensed and a little too “smushed together.” While you also spoke *super quickly, * so it was tricky to keep track of it all! I couldn’t really keep the categories straight, as a result. That said, I am glad that mostly everyone else could follow it and they enjoyed it.
I just watched this video and the previous one. And these are my “notes”: PART 1 - I related to ENTP, INFJ, ISFJ, ESTP and ENFJ . - I gave ESFJ and INTP a not sure but maybe. - And I related to INFP fully but wasn’t sure about the whole thing about the past. I felt these cognitive functions seemed like they could be my dominant one: FI, FE, NI, SI, TI. I know for sure these aren’t dominant: TE PART 2 - The INFP was really relatable. - ISFJ, ENTP, INFJ and ENFJ were relatable. - The ESTJ and INTP I wasn’t sure about but were relatable in some way. I felt these cognitive functions could be my oppositional ones: TE and SE (I felt called out with) SI (was kind of relatable). I know for sure that I am not uncomfortable with NI, NE, FI and FE. Tomorrow I will watch the third and see what happens! I’ve been on this journey for a while and got tested as an INFJ then. At first I was like okay I can see that but now I really doubt the use of a test and don’t see how that can be accurate. That’s when I started my journey to find my type and I hope I will find some clarity soon! I love these videos so much! Thanks for making awesome content :)
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory It really has given me the perspective I needed. I still don't know my exact type, but I think I'll watch the videos again in like a week or two and see what it will give me then!
I definitely understand the oppositional function better now, at least. How did I not notice that it's literally always the opposite of the dominant function? Same with the two middle functions in the stack. It gives me a better picture of how all the functions work together and play off one another.
Nice, very intelligent, very insightful. One unexpected side effect though, " leading the witness " some much information , that it all sounds true. I just flashed on what makes sense to me. I record a few minutes of me explaining how I orperate and you and your audience tells me what type I am.
You wouldn't believe if i told you how many hours i've put into analyzing these first two episodes. The amount of rewinds, rewatchings and thinking until headache to elaborate what you mean. Just thought you should know. I've made an excel sheet to assign levels of strength with which i relate to certain types and sub-types and generally found it way easier to filter out information through your descriptions of TYPES than SUB-TYPES. Hense additional rewinding back from the time indicated in the description box. I've found that throughout your analysis very few descriptions have been thoroughly understood and my head literally hurt as i tried applying the description. However when i did resonate with it, it would instantly click in my head and i'd imagine this is exactly what happens for all types when a person hears you vocalize their perception of reality and way of thinking. What i figured after stratifying information from both videos upon each other is that i have three levels of relation depending on the numbers i assigned to both Dominant stack and Oppositional function. The max for every description from each video is 3. Here presented are total score ranges for each type from both videos, with a max of 6: 1. Absolutely nothing in common (0-2) - ENFP, ISFJ, ISTJ, ESFP, ESFJ, ISFP, INTP, ISTP, ENTJ, ESTJ. 2. Potentially possible (3-4) - ENTP, INTJ, ESTP, ENFJ, INFP. 3. Quite fitting (5-6) - INFJ Very looking forward to your Auxillary function analysis to finally have an idea of whats going on here. Best regards and thank you!
Ah hah! This is an absolutely excellent employment of the video and I thank you for sharing! On an aside, if you ever feel like sharing your stratified excel document please do send it over via email - I'm always curious about such things!
Thanks for the compliment! However it probably sounds more awesome than it actually is. Im not a fan of excel and my usage of it is at the kindergarten level. So i basically just made a table with Types at the top and Stacks on the left. Assigning a varying degree of relation to each type with either 1, 11 or 111 as i was listening to your explanations :D It's actually embarrassing to share a document this simple!
I have always wanted to know what my type is or actually I want to know my dominant function , So what I tried was to actually start analysing decision and ideas come to me as a like having eyes on my own mind . I concluded that I almost can consciously see every introverted function in working but really none of the extraverted ones. After watching these videos I am still very confused about my dominant function . Also , I think u are the first person to really make out the importance of the inferior function ( oppostional funcn ) I think of it as an dominant and opposition funcn as a magnitude just with diff. sign ( +ve and - ve ) indicating what you said as ego complex . Maybe this is the whole idea behind funcn axis . Well tbh , I watched your videos and relate myself with many types , is their a really a method or a framework to actually determine someone's type ? For me I think no matter how I type myself without a external confirmation , i will surely have doubt regarding my type .
What am I if I relate to the general entp stereotype more than any of the types you present? 😭 (I’m 18 btw so it’s possible I might still be very retreated in my “natural pre-dispository” state lol or maybe I’m just mistyped I mean at the end of the day we’ll never know for very sure who we are or who somebody else is)
After watching part 1,and now this,i related mostly to INTJ (wich is the type i suspect i am),but also to INTP,and slightly to ENTJ. Now,i have a question. I'm considering purchasing a typing service from you,but one thing worries me,wich is that i have been diagnosed with both ADD (Inattentive ADHD),and aspergers syndrome (i disagree with the latter diagnosis),i also suffer from anxiety,especially social anxiety. So even when i've taken online tests,trying to find my type,i'm unsure if being 'neurodivergent' would affect the results/my cognitive functions? Do you have any thoughts on this? I don't know how much you are aware of,or know of the subject of 'neurodivergence' (ADHD/ADD,Aspergers,etc,there is a lot of misunderstandings around it)and as such wheter or not it would have affect on typing someone. i apologize if this wasn't very structured or clearly written.English isn't my first language.
I’m pretty sure I’m an ISTP, but one thing in particular stuck out to me during your section on INTP. I have really been focusing on my people skills and trying to talk to and understand people for ten years now (since the last year of high school). The more comfortable and open I am around people, the more I tend to offend them. It isn’t as much of an issue now, but it still happens. You included this under INTP, but I think this is a general occurrence for Fe oppositional in general. Please correct me if you disagree.
Great video. But timestamps are all at wrong moments. Current timestamps point only at the moment where you name the opposing function while skipping description of it that you give beforehand. Correct timestamps: 01:30 Introverted Intuition 03:56 Extraverted Intuition 06:38 Introverted Sensing 10:06 Extraverted Sensing 13:04 Introverted Thinking 16:28 Extraverted Thinking 19:59 Introverted Feeling 22:40 Extraverted Feeling And also you can add: 26:30 Outro
In your system, what do you mean by those that are introverted intuition dominant/extroverted feeling opposition not "taking responsibility for other's feelings in the external world"? Thanks so much!
Hi! Oppositional functions are (in their default state) divergent, and thus concerned more with the observation of Fe in this instance than the interaction with it. The convergence (I.E. the responsibility) dominant functions are informed by the Fe data observed, and as such the greatest responsibility lies in the understanding/consilidation of the Fe data observed. When these types take responsibility for such emotions it is when they rotate on their dominant axis to become an Fe-dominant, but this usually occurs after the dialogue of the primary convergent functions (I.E. the dominant functions) occurs :)
I'd add a caveat here for anyone utilising this series to ascertain their type is also in conjunction with this series is to look at the various subtypes - diver, convergent, glider etc. I'm typed by CPT as a divergent ENFJ so I couldn't really relate to the hyperdivergent nature of Ti for the ENFJ given the fluidity of my axis albeit what I'm saying is probably indicative of TiNi looking for a holistic overview of reality (ie a framework I can apply to anything lol). So, I'd just advice people to take a holistic overview when considering your type baring in mind the nuances of intratype variation. Also, and probably the biggest piece of advice I'd give to people is not to rule out any type based upon preconceived notions (I guess this goes without saying as I did)...Chances are you'll find one of '5 signs' videos really resonates on some level...I'm waiting for the ISTP to see as a divergent subtype how I relate to this more/or less than the ENFJ 5 signs video. All in all, if you maintain an open mind you'll find something that really resonates with you...I showed my ESFP partner the ESFP video & he found it very accurate on many levels as well as the ENTJ content (he's a convergent ESFP).
So what im getting from here is that high Te and Ti always use a system of moving parts that consists of a big picture view while functions like Se and Si work with specific details and are able to be perfectionistic with these details but lets say both were in an argument wouldnt Te and Ti look like they would win everytime, maybe im getting it wrong but there is no equality in this. What can the sensing functions do that would be on par with the thinking ones. I am actually asking here, what are the sensing functions useful for
That's right! Sensing functions render things true and tangible - without Si I would be unable to communicate and test my hypotheses; Se irons out the details to make products worthy of consumption :)
I was confused in the first video of dominant function but now i'm clear i have Se opposition as you said i have fear and insecurity about having new experiences and experience lost in my imagination while doing some work which even affects me in a way that i have slowly eating and walking habit . I always used to worry why i always think and plan about future outcomes than focusing on the present moment but with help of personality theory i'm relieved its just natural and its just my nature.
ISFPs can also have insecurities about living in the present moment irrespective of being an Se authority type they can live vicariously through others experiences. By your written expression I'd say ISFP is worth considering 😊
I think their theories have a lot of merit, and I consider their popularisation of the 'jumper' type concurrent with the CPT auxiliary. They do seem to use cognitive functions to imply very different meanings to that of myself and many others, which is likely why clients I receive from them have received a type I can on occasion consider questionable.
I'm quite sure I'm an ISFP and I've noticed I'm usually pretty bad at explaining why I think a certain way or believe something. I'll start to defend my position and realize I don't actually have much logic to back up what I'm saying and end up saying something like "I guess I don't really know what I'm trying to say..." and feel awkward. This happens fairly often it's rather embarrassing. Is this theoretically because I have op positional Te or unconscious Ti? Or maybe I'm just not that bright...
ISFPs dip into Ti primarily from Fi, so it is true there is often a level of training to do before the type can thoroughly bring Ti to consciousness. Doesn't mean you aren't right in the first place though!
I have kinda of the same problem but from a different angle. For me I know the reasons why I believe what my type is cause I did my research and have a system to what I say . The problem is that when it comes to my identity I am afraid to stand up for it and show my reasonings. And as for I am not healthy and need to work on a lot of things my sense of identity is something I am willing to compromise just to make people happy.. I don't want them to feel like I am a fake who tries to lie to them, just because I am not fitting the box they have in their mind. There is more to it too. Why I don't fit in the box, why the talk about my identity is stressful, and what else to it.. But it's to much to just put here so I shut up 😂
"All the while perhaps you prefer it if everyone just left you alone to focus on that which you find meaningful. And perhaps you can even spend hours at a time engaged with that particular activity" You mean like binge watching your videos when I'm supposed to be working and getting annoyed when the customers keep me from absorbing all the information? 😂 Kinda struggling to find meaning in my work and I feel stuck so I'd rather focus on personality theories. :D
1st video : I identify most with the description of ENFJ (High Fe) which was super surprising to me (not the identifying with Fe type but just the "letters", cos i dont feel like an Extrovert at all) 2nd video : I identify most with inferior Se then inferior Ti. I have a lot of the stereotypical traits of an INTP, except for the procrastination part. So i could very well be an ENFJ??? doesnt feel right yet xD maybe im just in denial because of the previous information i've swallowed
Im starting to think that I am actually a INTJ, I’ve always been confused about my personality type going from thinking I’m a INTP to thinking I’m a ISTP, however I think I’m set on think that I am an INTJ however I’m still on the edge
Perhaps the 5 signs video for the ISTP will clear a lot up for you. If you don't mind me asking, why are veering towards INTJ? I have a lot of respect for both types btw but as a divergent ENFJ I relate much more to the ISTPs cognitive preferences.
my question is why is it always so difficult to reflect honestly and clearly upon these sorts of behavioral definitions? like all these terms and such become conceptual mush after a certain point for me to where I can't confidently connect what you're saying to reality. could that difficulty be a hint towards my type, or is that just a standard human weakness to develop? maybe I'll find an answer of sorts since i did just discover this channel and have started to sorta binge these videos, lol
This is a fantastic comment & observation! I think you're onto something here...bare in mind that we all have relative blindspots. I had trouble as a divergent ENFJ (relatively blind Fi-Si) accurately assessing my cognition. INTJs tend to have an easier time with their divergent Se-Te delineating what type they are. I don't think it's specific to Fi-Si however but I think perhaps the objectivity of Te has an easier time, as an authority function for the Te discerning ones type as they're very systematic with how they go about this. Maybe you can rule or INTJ at the very least 😊
@@Tified967 thank you for your thoughtful response ♡ it's been a while since ive delved into the cognitive functions, but I've come to strongly realize that the reason i can't see myself in a consistent framework is simply because what i know is what i know and is subsequently the benchmark for normality in my subconscious mind. anything a little too much or too little in comparison can be labelled under more specified terms. but of course that's all a subjective take from my experience and the opposite of my labels can all be applied to me from the object im labeling. it's all relative. so ultimately what kept me from ever solidifying on a type for myself is not finding a consistently clear and measurable benchmark of meaning for all the terms (that can be defined the same from everyone) to compare myself against
Your videos are so in depth! You're very knowledgable. Could you help me in typing a friend I'm trying to relate to? I could send you a pm with info, maybe that's a big ask, sorry if so!
I tend to offer type services (info on website) for this purpose :) If it's just a short one feel free to shoot me an email via the channel's 'about' section!
Please isfp content, through watching your playlists around 6 or 7 times over a year, ive discovered i am in fact an isfp, and I would like to know more from the sage
Worth noting there are some caveats here for example, CPT typed me as a divergent TiNi+ ENFJ so the hyperdivergent nature of the oppositional Ti doesn't really apply to me. I'd look at this video & the others in this group to get a generalised over view & the ebook will surely be of some assistance. Of course there's many ways you could go about ascertaining your type preferences - perhaps do a spreadsheet & quantify how much you relate to each statement & see in the context of the other content in this series how much you relate to each type? I appreciate as we get into the nuances of intratype variation it can be difficult...you could also take a look at how the diver, divergent etc subtypes would apply to the types your considering & see if any 'fit' more than others...I guess there's a multiplicity of ways you could approach this. I'd never considered ENFJ before so my biggest peace of advice would be to maintain an open mind & go from there.
Jeez...I don't know if this is an INTP thing or not, but I have either a good grasp on other's moods, or a terrible grasp on it all at once. If someone approaches me, I can drop my Fe act easily, yet I often tailor myself to the mood and vibes of others almost instantaneously. I don't have to pay attention to any broad social protocol lingering in the back of my mind, so I just...let loose.
The thing is I do the se-fe oppositional things and the se-te. However I don't like following things procedurally at all. I'd rather understand it from my own perspective. And the fe oppositional things seemed very salient. Like reading the temperature of the room and people's micro expressions, tone of voice even movements and how they're walking all the while feeling I can't do much about it too influence it
Imagine being invited to a dinner party by an acquaintance from work, and you hold the entire table hostage explaining all of this. And, you're in such a position that the one or two people who could step in and stop you, are people you've been marinating in MBTI for several months, making them selfishly interested in what you have to say about it. You only use language that these one or two people understand, from the unique terms you've taught them over the curse of months that apply specifically to MBTI, thus making everyone else uncomfortable and alienated. You also insist, way before hand, that there's only one thing you can't stand, and it's "people eating while you explain something", although you make this known during an earlier discussion on a topic that everyone is invested in so it sticks. This way everyone is not able to eat while you go on the diatribe.
You'll have to watch the other videos or read the book to get a grounding in the theory. It's worth it. MBTI might be easy to understand but it's not representative of reality. This is actual psychology not pseudo science 😊
@@Tified967 yeah i see. I started to understand the cognitive function, convergence divergence in thinking. Ni vs Ti vs Fi. So far. Haha. It's crazy to see how actually complex mbti cognitive stack actually functioning in reality.
I dont understand a thing, I guess I'm HDMI.
I'm starting to think I'm a HDMI too..
Awesome, I am a DDR4
Well it’s a series on typing yourself but he doesn’t define terms and ideas he invented that you need to watch ten other videos to know

Hi Harry.
I think my wife is convinced that ENTJ is relatively accurate for me according to this video.
This video also helped her to realize that INFP is a better fit for her than ISFP or ISFJ.
You ACTUALLY built on Jung… you didn’t tear him completely down and then claim you are basing on him.
You learned from him… and are modifying ACCORDINGLY.
Many of the things I was noticing wrong… you seem to have gotten there first in many ways.
I have things to add or entertain… but I know that if I build, I will have no choice but to base some building on your enhancements to Jung’s expositions.
Very, very good job. Truly.
I’ve seen all the systems, entertained them all… and was beginning to envision “my own”, but really, just trying to MARRY what exists into something cohesive… but, they’re all contradictory and fall apart in reality and COMPLETELY DEVIATE from the actual definitions of functions and redefine them completely; leaving unnecessary gaps and overlaps.
Very well done.
My favorite video of yours yet. The reason being twofold; I enjoyed listening to your function descriptions and then trying to accurately guess which one you were describing, but also because your descriptions make sense without bordering on the same useless stereotypes that we've all read and seen a thousand times by this point.
Ah, thanks Travis! I have something of a vendetta against such stereotypes :D
i was guessing too.
that description of the oppositional Fe was scarily accurate to me
Very good video, I appreciate the way you break everything down and give examples for every type
Thanks so much Michelle!
Hope everything's good on your end :)
Another great video Harry! It’s very helpful. By watching it yesterday, I was pretty sure that I am a ETS-Nf, and then you came up with that result today after carefully considering the information I sent your way as part of your excellent typing service. All I can say is that I’m a very grateful client of yours and will continue to strongly support CPT because it’s honestly awesome. Also, I consider you the first real professional typologist I have encountered so far, and I stretch the word “professional”.
Thank you my friend! Much appreciated all round :)
Learning this makes me realize how much I don't know about myself. I'm just here like I relate to a few of these.
I just learn I have a problem with not knowing the facts.
Fair enough!
I've never narrowed my search so much. Both videos are extremely helpful
Thank you so much!
When I see the part one of this video, and then now follow up with part two, I cannot be other than impressed by the way you are able to be so specific in the differences between how the functions interact and how that plays out for each type. I think this will help many.
As an ENFP I am particularly happy whenever you give some examples. And this does confirm my type for myself which is always nice :) Though sometimes (always...) my mind thinks I am an INFP...Or an INFJ....Or an ESFP....But hey, that is just me thinking it is boring to have found out my type...Much more fun to still be searching :)
Nice touch with the Jung book in the background by the way.
I appreciate these words! Re: ENFP, this type tends to fluctuate in and out of such types anyway :)
Haha, thank you!
I'm trying to deter my type since over an year.
It took me quite a while to accept that I seem to be an intj.
Whilest closely listening to your description of every type I still felt myself drawn to be an intj, though istj seemed close too.
Thank you!
Glad to have helped!
Duuuude. I'm an ISFJ (I think) and I've been planning to move to an apartment. I feel like my Ne has taken control because I've been _overwhelmed_ with the possibilities of how I could design it. It's very fun! But tiring. I've been trying to narrow it down by putting it in a spreadsheet, but then new information comes in and I'm like *uugghhhh* I have to re-plan all over again! I think I even got a headache a couple of times doing this.
Indeed this sounds like divergent Ne! Fun to entertain it but hard to consolidate it all within the hyper-focused Si :)
Your description of Te fits me almost perfectly. I am now convinced that I have Te as my oppositional function.
This video made me reconsider if I’m actually an ENFP and have just been mistyping myself as an INFO
Ah, that's awesome to hear!
16:30-10:09 Exactly! I used to work as a secretary, writing thousands of business letters. But when I'm writing one for myself, I feel somewhat insecure! And when I have to create logical structures such as arranging my room or making a schedule, I am overwhelmed by all the possibilities - my thoughts literally diverge! (Now I finally understand what divergent means in this context.) In such instances, talking to someone else helps me, even if the other person doesn't answer. So it seems I'm an INFP.
By the way, I think the timestamp for Extraverted Thinking should be at 16:30 because it's then when you begin to talk about it.
Thank-you. While I’ve read your CPT book and so was pretty confident of the accuracy of my dominant function, looking at the oppositional functions highlighted the trail because I experience more certainty about the areas that need work and don’t come easily than confidence in why what works is successful. I have laser focus on my less successful functions. Maturity, for me, is allowing myself to embrace experiences where I can be effective in these less natural arenas without using someone else’s ruler for my progress. I’m more certain when I’m on my authentic path and what advice/criticism I can lay to the side because it suits someone else’s way of being in the world. A map is only as good as one’s understanding of one’s relative orientation. 🗺🗿🤔
Excellent words on the map analogy!
I laughed aloud with recognition when you read out the description of Oppositional Extroverted Thinking! Definitely resonated. Thanks again for another brilliant video! 😄
Ahaha, glad to hear (sorta) :D
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory
Sorry, very belated follow-up question: would you say that Te could be described as "executive function" (or similar to)?
@@That_Awkward_Mum ADHD INFPs, unite! 😂🤣
Really informative and well structured video. Also, thank you for providing such insightful content that one can self-reflect on in such isolating and difficult times where arguably, self-reflection is a much needed activity. Anyways, cheers and take care!
Thank you, that means a lot and it's my pleasure to provide such content in circumstancss particularly well suited to it :)
Likewise!
your videos are definitely underrated! great content :)
Thanks so much!
Great video!
Just a technical thing that could be made better: it would have been clearer if the timestamps had started with the introduction, rather than the presentation itself. E.g. 3:57 would become the new start of the Ne section, instead of 4:43
Ah! Very valid point :)
you might be an ENTJ xd
@@Abstractor21lol.
Ya Boi!!! I've been waiting for this! Although, the delay was an excellent strategy to get people to watch old videos. I don't think I would have ever watched a video on empathy because of the weaponization of the "empathy" word and how it's just been abused for vanity purposes (or to distract from spooky skeleton's in closets), but it was a great video! I have notes from it on my phone and e-mail! Thank you, sir. I'm looking forward to listening to this video...Right now!
Haha yes I did hold back on this release but I hope the wait was worthwhile - encouraging people to check out the more foundational videos was a worthwhile bonus though! Agreed re: empathy :)
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory Yes it was, and just when I recovered from removing all the pins and needles, like a magnetic force, they returned with that teaser at the end of the video. Ouch, I mean, thanks again!
Take care, sir.
Watching the previous video I thought I was most likely either ISFP or ISTP. Now I'm almost certain on ISTP.
These videos are really good.
This is great to hear - thank you!
Fascinating. I resonated equally with my ENFP type as I did with ISFP. And as I age, the feedback I get from others about how they perceive me is much more ISFP. They say I present as aloof, cool and confident and after knowing me, say I am a person to call upon in crisis. I heard this is how people see the ISTJ.
Hmm interesting
:D Love these vids!
It's so interesting hearing how the oppositional function plays into one's thought process. It really is easy to miss, isn't it? But it's always there.
Sidenote: I must confess I am watching these also to figure out what personality one of my favorite video game characters is XD
Exactly! The greatest influence is the opposing functions upon the convergent (and altogether more conscious) functions :)
Love the side note btw, I also enjoy applying types to video game characters!
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory XD but yeah I'm trying to figure out Aloy's personality and it's bugging me. I can't decide if she's Esfp, ESTP or some weird INFJ
super hard to tell. Oh well.
Love this video!! :) thank you so much! You’re really great at explaining and breaking concepts down.
My conclusions:
SE Introverted function - yes
ENTP - maybe
ISFP - maybe
ENTJ - maybe
INTP - maybe?
The video is extremely helpful! I definitely feel aligned on the Ni-Se axis. I mostly lean towards INTJ or INFJ.
Just one suggestion, kindly adjust the various sub sections in-line with when you start the descriptions rather than slightly before. I noticed it becoming hard to track when you changed cognitive functions. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a trick to reduce confirmation bias.
Are you a man or a woman? Because the nfj group is the rarest for men and the ntj group is the rarest for women. Either way, you’re going to get treated like a special hero/heroine when actually you’re an average person with flaws and hopes like everyone else.
I'm agreeing with your point here re confirmation bias - I didn't pick up on this - good call 😊
I feel and feel. I have to do everything from my heart or I am not interested. I have to be sincere. My heart is feelings strongly. It is overwhelming sometimes. ❤❤❤❤. I am an INFP.
Extroverted Intuition 3:57
Extroverted Thinking 16:28
Really great video!
Thanks!
INFP makes a lot more sense to me. I used to be extremely certain of what I believed which was based on a more limbic and emotional basis. Growing up has been about challenging those beliefs. This shows that my extraverted thinking is more of an authoritative or self-directing force. It's always uncomfortable to confront my identity and beliefs but it's been instrumental to my development as a person.
Here's the extroverted thinking coming out. I'm not sure so I'm still considering getting typed by you in the future.
Yes, for sure!
Keep me posted re: typing in that case :)
Can you help me? I relate to intps inferior FE version but also to istps. Sometimes I think about what others and predict whta happens if I do certain thing and I'd the other person would be annoyed, but sometimes with my friends, when I will go impulsively without thinking about the environment and then maybe regret it, depend if I did something embarrassing or not. So is it possible I'm istp? Or I'm intp? Or Maybe I'm another type and not these two, idk.
do you have a video on enfj vs enfp? i matched both of these descriptions and those are the two im not sure which i am. lol. im either a very silly and messy enfj or a very logical, grounded enfp
actually, personally i see the types as archetypes that exist in all of our pysches.
i think we fit into groups of types. So, personally, I fit into these types: ENFJ, ENFP, INFP, ISFP, ESFP, ESFJ,
also somewhat ENTP, INTP, ESTP, INFJ, INTJ, ESTJ
but i dont fit into these: ENTJ, ISTJ, ISFJ, ISTP
I'm really good at typing other people but i have a harder time typing myself. I see it as dichotomies. N vs S is intelligence vs athleticism. and T vs F is the head vs the heart. Personally I feel like I'm very well rounded. I am intellectual as well as athletic, etc.
So for you, I would say you are definitely an NF type. You are definitely intellectual, so you have to be either N or T, or both. But you are very emotionally sound, so that indicates you are F rather than T. Usually T types are very grumpy and unwell. So you are likely NF
I think you are probably a J because you are so organized. P types seem to be usually more messy.
And I think you are an introvert simply because you seem somewhat reserved.
So I think you are INFJ, although you could also be ENFJ, INFP, INTJ, etc
I bought your book today.
This is great!
Thank you! :)
Another great video :) I'm an infj dancer (breakdance) but I like to just get on the floor do something powerful, finish and get out, I don't like to stay too long on the floor dancing to loud music with crowd, it's draining my energy. I'm also not good at improvising, I prefer to create my perfect choreography and then bring it to life :)
Short intense bursts - exactly how I tend to be as a musician :)
Do you thinks the intensity of the outburst is caused by ni being projected through se?
C.s Joseph seems to argue that ni is willpower based because the kinetic energy linked to se is the exertion of willpower thus must be ni through cognitive orbit.
Hi harry, just wondering since the start of your typing people career, what would be the rough estimate of those done from the point where you felt were correct, If i do recall correctly you did mention you had some difficulty at first which is totally understandable and something every personality system goes through specifically objective personality who had a very similar experience to you with the ways they described it in comparison with the way you described it but then it is something that happens to invoke change in the right direction and change for the better is always a positive thing for more precision.
I'd say the accuracy was about 70% back in January, 80% in March and 90% from April :)
Right now the focus is on making it more effective and allow for more debrief time for the client.
And, thank you!
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory There does seem to a big contrast in the ways the systems type people as well, especially socionics and vultology. For example there's an individual called Odim who has his own channel NiNe show typed as a ni dom as seen with the interview with binyamin tsdalik A advocate for OP and other interviewers who collectively agree that he is that type from what ive learned and he was typed that by OP but socionics typed him as a infp in their systems (strange however with the difference in the schools of thoughts, that could be the reason why also a certain bias would influence the thoughts of the interviewers of course, regardless still a little weird).
Another individual Erik Thor ,who you've commented in his video, was typed as a entp by OP but in my opinion didn't seem like the entps that i've met however with the nuances taken into consideration it's entirely possible there's a lot more beneath the surface of a individuals behaviour outside of the cameras and their true antics on a hourly basis for example but what do i know ahaha just a kid doing an unnecessary amount of exploring.
I mean it does kind of come to point of how do we determine what's authentic and true verses what's not. there does seem to be a lot of conflicting views for sure
I apologise with the tangent just picked up some interesting stuff and my ne decided to have some fun with it
Hey Harry, you mentioned that oppositional Si can present itself by an individual wanting to be as authentic as possible and present themselves to the fullest extent of who they are. Could you elaborate on why this is a result of oppositional Si? In another ENTP video you mentioned that ENTPs have a tendency to mask themselves in accordance to the social situation, so I´m not very sure as to how I should understand these types. Were you only referring to ENFP with the whole authenticity description?
The authenticity is relative to the codec Si is assigned to - the ENTP would be the reverse of the ENFP as a result, and therefore concerned more with intellectual authenticity than that pertaining to character. There is naturally an overlap (as there is with functions themselves) but ENTPs tend to prioritise the integrity of their frameworks.
I think I’m an infj, but I’m not sure if that’s my subconscious trying to be “rare.” I wish it wasn’t so overexposed, so that way, I’d have a fighting chance at figuring out who I am without doubting myself.
Well said, I am also unsure about my own type, and also unsure if my own subconscious is trying to suppress different descriptions, of the inferior functions.
Actually, with reading your reason about your doubting being INFJ, I would say, I can bravely claim you are possibly an INFJ.. (:
yup, still an isfp lol -- i wanna work on my Te!!! i live with an ENTJ and i honestly think i've gotten him to do a lot of Te things for me bc i feel insecure when confronted with Te tasks. but lately i view him the way people view a painkiller (lol)...like, just knowing it's there if you need it is enough to kind of trick yourself into handling life without relying on it! i'm trying to learn to use my Fi to motivate my Te...like it's shy and insecure but i fear that if i don't take actions, then i will miss out on life.
i find that when i'm working on a goal, i can get carried away with minute details and miss out on actually accomplishing the goal. but it works really well for playing the piano. i can easily understand what needs to be improved and i can see more layers to a piece than i think most people listening to the music will even appreciate. at a certain point it will make absolutely no difference to most people but i will still see the difference and it will matter to me tremendously
(in other words: you were right on!)
Perfect examples!!
Watching your videos rn feels important for me and my understanding. And now i have watched all your videos about cognitive function.
Now based on my comment and ur study. Can u guess my type ?
Can an Ne-Fe axis focus on atmpspheres free from people, such as moods and emotions found within specific objects or rooms? This has been a supremely common phenomena in my life, feeling the general emotions of a specific group, atmosphere, or even certain objects while not necessarily resonating with me
Interesting. Could be some form of Synesthesia
This one was not my favorite. I have ADHD and my problem was that the information was almost too condensed and a little too “smushed together.” While you also spoke *super quickly, * so it was tricky to keep track of it all!
I couldn’t really keep the categories straight, as a result. That said, I am glad that mostly everyone else could follow it and they enjoyed it.
I just watched this video and the previous one. And these are my “notes”:
PART 1
- I related to ENTP, INFJ, ISFJ, ESTP and ENFJ .
- I gave ESFJ and INTP a not sure but maybe.
- And I related to INFP fully but wasn’t sure about the whole thing about the past.
I felt these cognitive functions seemed like they could be my dominant one: FI, FE, NI, SI, TI.
I know for sure these aren’t dominant: TE
PART 2
- The INFP was really relatable.
- ISFJ, ENTP, INFJ and ENFJ were relatable.
- The ESTJ and INTP I wasn’t sure about but were relatable in some way.
I felt these cognitive functions could be my oppositional ones: TE and SE (I felt called out with) SI (was kind of relatable).
I know for sure that I am not uncomfortable with NI, NE, FI and FE.
Tomorrow I will watch the third and see what happens! I’ve been on this journey for a while and got tested as an INFJ then. At first I was like okay I can see that but now I really doubt the use of a test and don’t see how that can be accurate. That’s when I started my journey to find my type and I hope I will find some clarity soon!
I love these videos so much! Thanks for making awesome content :)
This is exactly how I hope people to use this series! I hope it has all gone okay!
@@CognitivePersonalityTheory It really has given me the perspective I needed. I still don't know my exact type, but I think I'll watch the videos again in like a week or two and see what it will give me then!
I got infj in the 16 personalities test and I'm trying to see if it's right or wrong and I can't tell. None of these videos help.
@@sazude216p is based on the big 5 & wont give you any clarity unfortunately. I'd get the CPT ebook and work from there.
Can you explain this 20 %? How does this look and what would cause this ?
I definitely understand the oppositional function better now, at least. How did I not notice that it's literally always the opposite of the dominant function? Same with the two middle functions in the stack. It gives me a better picture of how all the functions work together and play off one another.
Exactly, it's a beautiful symmetry :)
Nice, very intelligent, very insightful. One unexpected side effect though, " leading the witness " some much information , that it all sounds true. I just flashed on what makes sense to me. I record a few minutes of me explaining how I orperate and you and your audience tells me what type I am.
Thank you! Ahh, yes, that can be a danger with this format!
You wouldn't believe if i told you how many hours i've put into analyzing these first two episodes.
The amount of rewinds, rewatchings and thinking until headache to elaborate what you mean. Just thought you should know.
I've made an excel sheet to assign levels of strength with which i relate to certain types and sub-types and generally found it way easier to filter out information through your descriptions of TYPES than SUB-TYPES. Hense additional rewinding back from the time indicated in the description box.
I've found that throughout your analysis very few descriptions have been thoroughly understood and my head literally hurt as i tried applying the description. However when i did resonate with it, it would instantly click in my head and i'd imagine this is exactly what happens for all types when a person hears you vocalize their perception of reality and way of thinking.
What i figured after stratifying information from both videos upon each other is that i have three levels of relation depending on the numbers i assigned to both Dominant stack and Oppositional function. The max for every description from each video is 3. Here presented are total score ranges for each type from both videos, with a max of 6:
1. Absolutely nothing in common (0-2) - ENFP, ISFJ, ISTJ, ESFP, ESFJ, ISFP, INTP, ISTP, ENTJ, ESTJ.
2. Potentially possible (3-4) - ENTP, INTJ, ESTP, ENFJ, INFP.
3. Quite fitting (5-6) - INFJ
Very looking forward to your Auxillary function analysis to finally have an idea of whats going on here.
Best regards and thank you!
Ah hah! This is an absolutely excellent employment of the video and I thank you for sharing!
On an aside, if you ever feel like sharing your stratified excel document please do send it over via email - I'm always curious about such things!
Thanks for the compliment! However it probably sounds more awesome than it actually is. Im not a fan of excel and my usage of it is at the kindergarten level. So i basically just made a table with Types at the top and Stacks on the left. Assigning a varying degree of relation to each type with either 1, 11 or 111 as i was listening to your explanations :D
It's actually embarrassing to share a document this simple!
Are you a man or a woman? Because nfj combination is the rarest group for men, ntj combination is the rarest group for women
11:00-11:37 described me perfectly.
I have always wanted to know what my type is or actually I want to know my dominant function , So what I tried was to actually start analysing decision and ideas come to me as a like having eyes on my own mind .
I concluded that I almost can consciously see every introverted function in working but really none of the extraverted ones. After watching these videos I am still very confused about my dominant function . Also , I think u are the first person to really make out the importance of the inferior function ( oppostional funcn ) I think of it as an dominant and opposition funcn as a magnitude just with diff. sign ( +ve and - ve ) indicating what you said as ego complex . Maybe this is the whole idea behind funcn axis . Well tbh , I watched your videos and relate myself with many types , is their a really a method or a framework to actually determine someone's type ? For me I think no matter how I type myself without a external confirmation , i will surely have doubt regarding my type .
I really relate to INFP and INFJ.. relate to the past while focusing on the future.. maybe I need more information..
What am I if I relate to the general entp stereotype more than any of the types you present? 😭 (I’m 18 btw so it’s possible I might still be very retreated in my “natural pre-dispository” state lol or maybe I’m just mistyped I mean at the end of the day we’ll never know for very sure who we are or who somebody else is)
After watching part 1,and now this,i related mostly to INTJ (wich is the type i suspect i am),but also to INTP,and slightly to ENTJ.
Now,i have a question. I'm considering purchasing a typing service from you,but one thing worries me,wich is that i have been diagnosed with both ADD (Inattentive ADHD),and aspergers syndrome (i disagree with the latter diagnosis),i also suffer from anxiety,especially social anxiety. So even when i've taken online tests,trying to find my type,i'm unsure if being 'neurodivergent' would affect the results/my cognitive functions? Do you have any thoughts on this?
I don't know how much you are aware of,or know of the subject of 'neurodivergence' (ADHD/ADD,Aspergers,etc,there is a lot of misunderstandings around it)and as such wheter or not it would have affect on typing someone.
i apologize if this wasn't very structured or clearly written.English isn't my first language.
What is your first language?
@@abdiqanihashi484 Hi,my first language is Finnish.
I’m pretty sure I’m an ISTP, but one thing in particular stuck out to me during your section on INTP. I have really been focusing on my people skills and trying to talk to and understand people for ten years now (since the last year of high school). The more comfortable and open I am around people, the more I tend to offend them. It isn’t as much of an issue now, but it still happens. You included this under INTP, but I think this is a general occurrence for Fe oppositional in general. Please correct me if you disagree.
Great video.
But timestamps are all at wrong moments. Current timestamps point only at the moment where you name the opposing function while skipping description of it that you give beforehand.

26:30 Outro
Thank you! I know enough now that I am an INFJ after all.
Fantastic!
In your system, what do you mean by those that are introverted intuition dominant/extroverted feeling opposition not "taking responsibility for other's feelings in the external world"? Thanks so much!
Hi! Oppositional functions are (in their default state) divergent, and thus concerned more with the observation of Fe in this instance than the interaction with it. The convergence (I.E. the responsibility) dominant functions are informed by the Fe data observed, and as such the greatest responsibility lies in the understanding/consilidation of the Fe data observed.
When these types take responsibility for such emotions it is when they rotate on their dominant axis to become an Fe-dominant, but this usually occurs after the dialogue of the primary convergent functions (I.E. the dominant functions) occurs :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question! With this new understanding, I'm going to re-watch the dominant functions video!
I'd add a caveat here for anyone utilising this series to ascertain their type is also in conjunction with this series is to look at the various subtypes - diver, convergent, glider etc. I'm typed by CPT as a divergent ENFJ so I couldn't really relate to the hyperdivergent nature of Ti for the ENFJ given the fluidity of my axis albeit what I'm saying is probably indicative of TiNi looking for a holistic overview of reality (ie a framework I can apply to anything lol). So, I'd just advice people to take a holistic overview when considering your type baring in mind the nuances of intratype variation. Also, and probably the biggest piece of advice I'd give to people is not to rule out any type based upon preconceived notions (I guess this goes without saying as I did)...Chances are you'll find one of '5 signs' videos really resonates on some level...I'm waiting for the ISTP to see as a divergent subtype how I relate to this more/or less than the ENFJ 5 signs video. All in all, if you maintain an open mind you'll find something that really resonates with you...I showed my ESFP partner the ESFP video & he found it very accurate on many levels as well as the ENTJ content (he's a convergent ESFP).
Where is the video on the dominant function?
So what im getting from here is that high Te and Ti always use a system of moving parts that consists of a big picture view while functions like Se and Si work with specific details and are able to be perfectionistic with these details but lets say both were in an argument wouldnt Te and Ti look like they would win everytime, maybe im getting it wrong but there is no equality in this. What can the sensing functions do that would be on par with the thinking ones. I am actually asking here, what are the sensing functions useful for
That's right! Sensing functions render things true and tangible - without Si I would be unable to communicate and test my hypotheses; Se irons out the details to make products worthy of consumption :)
I was confused in the first video of dominant function but now i'm clear i have Se opposition as you said i have fear and insecurity about having new experiences and experience lost in my imagination while doing some work which even affects me in a way that i have slowly eating and walking habit .
I always used to worry why i always think and plan about future outcomes than focusing on the present moment but with help of personality theory i'm relieved its just natural and its just my nature.
ISFPs can also have insecurities about living in the present moment irrespective of being an Se authority type they can live vicariously through others experiences. By your written expression I'd say ISFP is worth considering 😊
@@Tified967 idk for years i thought i'm INTJ
Hi, are you familiar with objective personality channel/theories? and if you are, what do you think about their theories?
I think their theories have a lot of merit, and I consider their popularisation of the 'jumper' type concurrent with the CPT auxiliary. They do seem to use cognitive functions to imply very different meanings to that of myself and many others, which is likely why clients I receive from them have received a type I can on occasion consider questionable.
I'm quite sure I'm an ISFP and I've noticed I'm usually pretty bad at explaining why I think a certain way or believe something. I'll start to defend my position and realize I don't actually have much logic to back up what I'm saying and end up saying something like "I guess I don't really know what I'm trying to say..." and feel awkward. This happens fairly often it's rather embarrassing. Is this theoretically because I have op positional Te or unconscious Ti? Or maybe I'm just not that bright...
ISFPs dip into Ti primarily from Fi, so it is true there is often a level of training to do before the type can thoroughly bring Ti to consciousness. Doesn't mean you aren't right in the first place though!
I have kinda of the same problem but from a different angle. For me I know the reasons why I believe what my type is cause I did my research and have a system to what I say . The problem is that when it comes to my identity I am afraid to stand up for it and show my reasonings. And as for I am not healthy and need to work on a lot of things my sense of identity is something I am willing to compromise just to make people happy.. I don't want them to feel like I am a fake who tries to lie to them, just because I am not fitting the box they have in their mind. There is more to it too. Why I don't fit in the box, why the talk about my identity is stressful, and what else to it.. But it's to much to just put here so I shut up 😂
It is uncelar whether you are talking about INTJs or not around 13.13 and 14.00
"All the while perhaps you prefer it if everyone just left you alone to focus on that which you find meaningful. And perhaps you can even spend hours at a time engaged with that particular activity"
You mean like binge watching your videos when I'm supposed to be working and getting annoyed when the customers keep me from absorbing all the information? 😂 Kinda struggling to find meaning in my work and I feel stuck so I'd rather focus on personality theories. :D
Haha that might be an example!
1st video : I identify most with the description of ENFJ (High Fe) which was super surprising to me (not the identifying with Fe type but just the "letters", cos i dont feel like an Extrovert at all)
2nd video : I identify most with inferior Se then inferior Ti. I have a lot of the stereotypical traits of an INTP, except for the procrastination part.
So i could very well be an ENFJ??? doesnt feel right yet xD maybe im just in denial because of the previous information i've swallowed
The videos are more guidelines but, yes, it is very possible! Especially when looking at the ENFJ past the 'inferior Ti' stereotypes :)
Now i understand that i don’t really take responsibility for anything in my life.. lol thanks Harry
Im starting to think that I am actually a INTJ, I’ve always been confused about my personality type going from thinking I’m a INTP to thinking I’m a ISTP, however I think I’m set on think that I am an INTJ however I’m still on the edge
Perhaps the 5 signs video for the ISTP will clear a lot up for you. If you don't mind me asking, why are veering towards INTJ? I have a lot of respect for both types btw but as a divergent ENFJ I relate much more to the ISTPs cognitive preferences.
my question is why is it always so difficult to reflect honestly and clearly upon these sorts of behavioral definitions? like all these terms and such become conceptual mush after a certain point for me to where I can't confidently connect what you're saying to reality. could that difficulty be a hint towards my type, or is that just a standard human weakness to develop?
maybe I'll find an answer of sorts since i did just discover this channel and have started to sorta binge these videos, lol
This is a fantastic comment & observation! I think you're onto something here...bare in mind that we all have relative blindspots. I had trouble as a divergent ENFJ (relatively blind Fi-Si) accurately assessing my cognition. INTJs tend to have an easier time with their divergent Se-Te delineating what type they are. I don't think it's specific to Fi-Si however but I think perhaps the objectivity of Te has an easier time, as an authority function for the Te discerning ones type as they're very systematic with how they go about this. Maybe you can rule or INTJ at the very least 😊
@@Tified967 thank you for your thoughtful response ♡ it's been a while since ive delved into the cognitive functions, but I've come to strongly realize that the reason i can't see myself in a consistent framework is simply because what i know is what i know and is subsequently the benchmark for normality in my subconscious mind. anything a little too much or too little in comparison can be labelled under more specified terms. but of course that's all a subjective take from my experience and the opposite of my labels can all be applied to me from the object im labeling. it's all relative. so ultimately what kept me from ever solidifying on a type for myself is not finding a consistently clear and measurable benchmark of meaning for all the terms (that can be defined the same from everyone) to compare myself against
Your videos are so in depth! You're very knowledgable. Could you help me in typing a friend I'm trying to relate to? I could send you a pm with info, maybe that's a big ask, sorry if so!
I tend to offer type services (info on website) for this purpose :) If it's just a short one feel free to shoot me an email via the channel's 'about' section!
Please isfp content, through watching your playlists around 6 or 7 times over a year, ive discovered i am in fact an isfp, and I would like to know more from the sage
I not sure how to rationally use the framework. Should I just go with what I feel resonates the most with me?
Worth noting there are some caveats here for example, CPT typed me as a divergent TiNi+ ENFJ so the hyperdivergent nature of the oppositional Ti doesn't really apply to me. I'd look at this video & the others in this group to get a generalised over view & the ebook will surely be of some assistance. Of course there's many ways you could go about ascertaining your type preferences - perhaps do a spreadsheet & quantify how much you relate to each statement & see in the context of the other content in this series how much you relate to each type? I appreciate as we get into the nuances of intratype variation it can be difficult...you could also take a look at how the diver, divergent etc subtypes would apply to the types your considering & see if any 'fit' more than others...I guess there's a multiplicity of ways you could approach this. I'd never considered ENFJ before so my biggest peace of advice would be to maintain an open mind & go from there.
@@Tified967 very eloquent and helpful
Thank you 😊
Jeez...I don't know if this is an INTP thing or not, but I have either a good grasp on other's moods, or a terrible grasp on it all at once. If someone approaches me, I can drop my Fe act easily, yet I often tailor myself to the mood and vibes of others almost instantaneously. I don't have to pay attention to any broad social protocol lingering in the back of my mind, so I just...let loose.
Oppositional Fe tends to have a polar quality so it's possible!
Which is your type? (Author of video).
INT-Fs (INFJ), apparently.
Can I pay you to find out my personality I'am so confused...
Turns out I'm an Isfj
😂 well you've convinced me I'm either infj or intj
The thing is I do the se-fe oppositional things and the se-te. However I don't like following things procedurally at all. I'd rather understand it from my own perspective. And the fe oppositional things seemed very salient. Like reading the temperature of the room and people's micro expressions, tone of voice even movements and how they're walking all the while feeling I can't do much about it too influence it
The confusing part though was that I do get focused on the task at have for it's sake.
Imagine being invited to a dinner party by an acquaintance from work, and you hold the entire table hostage explaining all of this. And, you're in such a position that the one or two people who could step in and stop you, are people you've been marinating in MBTI for several months, making them selfishly interested in what you have to say about it. You only use language that these one or two people understand, from the unique terms you've taught them over the curse of months that apply specifically to MBTI, thus making everyone else uncomfortable and alienated. You also insist, way before hand, that there's only one thing you can't stand, and it's "people eating while you explain something", although you make this known during an earlier discussion on a topic that everyone is invested in so it sticks. This way everyone is not able to eat while you go on the diatribe.
Everyday, the world convinces that im an ENTJ
Are you an INTP or INFJ? (or INTJ)
He has typed himself as an INFJ
@@RainbowRoadCrashTest I see. Thank you.
This vocabularies is too confusing to me.
You'll have to watch the other videos or read the book to get a grounding in the theory. It's worth it. MBTI might be easy to understand but it's not representative of reality. This is actual psychology not pseudo science 😊
@@Tified967 yeah i see. I started to understand the cognitive function, convergence divergence in thinking. Ni vs Ti vs Fi. So far. Haha. It's crazy to see how actually complex mbti cognitive stack actually functioning in reality.
