The biggest benefit I've gotten from learning about MBTI is that I've stopped naively thinking that everybody thought the same way as I do. Duh! I was projecting my own priorities, goals, aspirations, and world view on others, as in "deep down this guy or that girl really does care about other people's feelings and needs." Now I know that they don't always, and that's huge for me. Not all people see the use or need to help those less fortunate, or to be truthful, or to be open to others' points of view or sensitive to their feelings. It's great knowing that people are just wired in different ways , and it's not up to me to try to change them "for their own good." Although frankly, I still wish I could. (*sigh)
I wish I were more in tune with my feels, 😔 It'd be better than this never ending cycle of ignore the feelings and later on have it leak into your productivity or mind.. And you suddenly find yourself self sabotaging like a mo fo 🤣 but feels are more of an "intellectuallizing" for me. "this is how I've learned to expect to supposed to feel about this or that situation.." I guess kind of like how people with color blindness know Orange is orange.. But they just don't "experience" it.. in the same way.
For me it really helps me with understanding people, because Im autistic and didnt really understand people before, though I oh so much value understanding what motivates people, and this helps me a lot with understanding and relating to different values and what not. And its so interesting!
Exactly the same as me! I, in a more pessimistic way (cause I feel the need to be unique) assumed that everyone generally thought and acted the same way I did. MBTI opened up my eyes.

@@CSJoseph Is it typical for an INTP to only see the remaining road to humanitys magnificent future rather than celebrate the steps previously travelled ? ;-)
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 as an intp, i would say we use Si knowledge and appreciation of the past to feed Ne. Since we are Ti Ne users we will use that loop to determine possibilities for the future. I hope this helped
Dude I’ve watched many of your videos and it’s all incredible. I’m actually learning more again. I feel like you’re stuff is college level which is really what I needed. Thank you! (Infp here)
I’m an INFJ (not self-typed) and my mom is an ISTJ (I typed her). Time to time I find it useful to ask myself “What would my mom think/do?” Not with the feeling of guilt, just to look at the situation from a different angle when I’m stuck. And the answer generally is to learn the information that I considered unworthy of learning previously which I believe is all that sensory data I skip over. It works!
There is a misunderstanding of Infj. Our critic isn’t telling us we are bad people- it is correcting our path. For example, one path is pride. We are drawn to self defense and the finer side of life but the critic warns us of the possible downfalls in that direction. So humility comes as a refirection, for a better life and kindness to others. The self- loathing comes from not being able to be the person you see in your mind. This can be mitigated through patience, perceverance and and a good mentor or friend. The drive to serve other people is not correct. That is ESFJ. We will serve other people but for the reason that it is the right thing to do and makes the world a better place but not that we need to be needed. We want to be valued for our foresight and expertise. When we are taken advantage of and assumed to be the server type we shut down out of resentment. We want to be loved because we are good and wise. Not loved because we are doormats and need flogging.
INFJ... Yes! Fi critic isn't feeling inferior to others in any way... maybe feeling incompetent or frustrated in being misunderstood, but not self inferior or self-condemning. In fact, I think this is where my (be prepared for a bs term) "INFJ rage" gets triggered easiest. I've had to deal with people forcing me into my Inferior function & sub/un-conscious states plenty with the question, "How are you today?" hahaha. IDK, that's an Si function. It always gives me a mild shock before I answer. sigh. ... But when people give me their unsolicited opinions about me, especially if I'm expected to listen without my own reactions and Fe being allowed in the Fi processing... it can get ugly once my limit is reached. sorry. truth. ... not a doormat. I'm kind because I understand feelings, both "good" & "bad" ones (I don't really put weight on feelings like that). And I can see how feelings shape and affect humanity. (there are some feelings you wouldn't even wish on an enemy once you understand them). So, I care about others. How they feel affects how I feel, It affects the world I live in. ... Our advocate nature and desire to help others, I believe, stems more from understanding discomfort and wishing that on no one, more than it does a need for validation of our feelings (like w/enfj). ... My validation desire ties more to my Ni-Ti looping tendencies, hahaha. Yes! ... We want to be valued for our foresight & expertise more than anything... I'm a woman, but I would much rather hear a comment about my abilities than my looks any day. In fact, the vanity comments kinda annoy me if I'm not getting a balance of people noticing my brains as well.
I can see the point you are making but you are both right and wrong. I don't believe the assumption that Fi critic isn't self loathing by nature because it certainly is. It allows us to be humble and question if we are making to right choice which is the "correction" you were talking about. However, it fundamentally means that we are hesitant to trust our own moral judgements and thus makes us concerned whether or not we are moral ourselves. This can be a passive criticism or a harsh one depending on your current circumstances and what decisions you are trying to contemplate. In the end it's the same, we are concerned we are bad people and thus critique ourselves and our choices based on a moral perspective and over compensate with our compassion for others with Fe parent. It is true that a great amount of grief is caused by us not living up to what we see in our minds, but that is secondary to the cause. We fail to be that person by default and thus question our own value since we are unable to attain it no matter how badly we want to. Hope this is clear and concise.
@@TheHashSlingingSlasher548 , True. Another video of his talks about the difference of being morals dominant or ethics dominant. INFJ are ethics dominant. Our morals become more maliable as we processes new revelations of TRUTH. 🤷 So we question them more. My enfj hubby is morals dominant and I used to question his ethics more than I should have before getting to understand our differences better.
I'm an INTP, so of course I have a theory- I think that the critic function is the personality's ultimate goal. For example, an INTP uses Ti Ne to seek out ultimate truth (Ni, their critic). ESTPs want to get things done overall (their critic is Te). Se and Ti are great tools to achieve thorough Te. Also, I believe one respects those who have their critical function as their hero. For example, INTPs and INTJs generally have a mutual respect for one another. INTPs also respect INFJs.
I think that's an interesting theory you have. I'm an INTJ, where Ti is supposed to be the critic, and I respect the logic of INTPs. In fact I feel like one of the greatest failures/embarrassments possible is to be caught being illogical.
@@joshualevan Interesting. Ni is my first function so I'm used to being so full of possibilites and educated guesses that some will inevitably be wrong haha. I don't feel stupid as long as people understand my ideas are not concrete factual conclusions. A wrong educated guess doesn't make you unintelligent- hypotheses exist to eventually be proven right or wrong and we usually learn something from them in the process either way.
Another INTP here! I think you may be onto something, but it only works with types that you share functions with (like thinking or feeling). Eg. INTPs and INTJs have that special feeling of respect and liking but not INTPs and INFJ's, or INTJs and INFPs. I think? Maybe this is related to the idea that ideal relationships are flipped types (ie. INTPs and ENTJs); INTJs also have all the same functions as ENTJs in similar positions (high Te/Ni, low Se/Fi). It seems that not only is it important that the functions be opposite, but opposite in a very specific way. For example, I have a very good ESFP friend, who also shares all the same functions as INTJs and ENTJs but since his feeling is pretty high he demands that I provide him with good feeling experiences which I JUST CAN'T. My Fe is literally at an animal level. :( But INTJs and ENTJs may be ok with more primitive feeling because their Fi is also primitive?Personally, I've found I hit it off much better with INTJs than ENTJs, despite this being the "ideal pairing". Maybe this theory of the critic function is why? This may also be why Chase loooves ENTJ's so much, as ENTJ would be his "ultimate goal" type. :)
Salim Huerta OMFG I’m so glad someone mentioned drugs, I smoked weed a couple of times and my mind literally pulled me into my unconscious and I did not know what the hell was going on . After that I never returned back to my ego I think. Because all I feel about everything is misery !
I love how he manipulates Ni-Se and Ne-Si by changing some words. He is letting Ni (Ni-Se) to want, allowing them to choose and creating a goal to achieve. But he also is embracing the duty of Si users (Ne-Si), telling them what they should do. I simply love it. PD: Sorry for my horrible english. Best regards from an INTJ who has been seduced by yours & Jungian Analythical Psychology ideas.
I watched a video by The Imaginary Axis where the point is: The joker is actually hyper-sane and aware that he is in a comic, and that his actions in fact have no consequences, but no one else is aware of this which actually pushes him over the edge.
This is a comprehensive analysis of the four sides of the mind. It is seemingly filling in the gap where many Meyers-Briggs tests stop providing information. Thank you for sharing. What would you recommend for further reading on Jungian Cognitive functions and this four sides of the mind perspective?
I love how all of this psychology information all wraps together. And idk if it’s just my personality thinking this way, but I feel like introverted intuition is the heart of all power in this universe.
I'm adding my voice to the chorus asking for more in-depth information on where the theory of the four sides comes from. INTP here, and the little you've given us is awesome, but nowhere near comprehensive enough make me feel like I've grasped this. Thank you!
I appreciate this video a lot, I didn't fully understand the four sides of the mind until watching this and it helps me handle people who treat the MBTI like the zodiac signs.
This definitely makes sense. I was trying to figure out why I am such a good friend to myself. Maybe my ego, INTP, is befriended by my subconscious - ESFJ. I think this is how I survived one summer when I was like, literally alone for up to weeks at a time trying to finish my thesis. I made myself really good food, listened to nice music and sat in comfy chairs in order to get my work done, and I thought, wow: I am one of my best friends ever. But when I found out my type was actually INTP, I was really excited to get to know new INTP people. Then I saw your video on INTP's compatibility types and became sad because I thought, but I am nice to myself, so why would I have such a bad time with other INTPs (that hilarious argument you demonstrated that would happen between 2 INTPs)? Perhaps with INTPs, I go into my ESFJ subconscious because I'm so excited to meet someone like me. This is a very stupid comment, I apologize.
I'm a nice INTP! I think I spend a lot of time in ESFJ-land, especially after spending years and years making friends with my Fe. I think you just need to find another nice INTP. Good luck with that though because we're so goddam rare. I had a (woman) professor who I am sure was an INTP and I was soooo excited, but I couldn't get up the nerve to try to make friends with her. :/ Also, I doubt she would have appreciated all of my Jung/spirituality stuff since she was a hard core statistician...
Absolutely brilliant! It truly does explain people so well. I would love you to do a video on stimuli on functions such as alcohol, stress, sleep deprivation, music etc. Maybe a series on developing inferior function? I've really enjoyed your vlogs!
Thanks for this video..I am an ENTJ and an IT person, so Psychology for me was 'a new field' until a couple of years ago when I found out my MBTI type. Even amidst my ignorance I didnt find credible where people told me 'oh..I am an INTJ but sometimes I am an ENTJ'. This video has been absolutely valuable for me and I have replied it 3 times. Thanks
I'm so glad you started this channel it's extremely difficult to comb through the fluff of MBTI/Cognitive Functions. Even when neuroscience gets involved like with Dario Nardi's work it is only scratching the surface of the subject. I'm an INFJ so you're aware of the insecurities, worries and negative self talk that runs rampant in my mind. Because of my temperament I spent a lot of my life stressed out. So I think I've become very familiar with my shadow over the years. When I got to my 30's I had another emotional "betrayal" causing a psychological break like it tends to happen to my type; but that time it was as if I had an internal struggle of good and evil. Where I spent weeks trying to pull back my rage and desire to destroy everything and start over "New Beginnings" when I finally felt centered again it was as if I combined my good and evil to find balance. After that experience I find myself falling into flow states either by inducing them myself or I might just fall into a flow state when my inner critic finally shuts up. I know this is long but do you know of other people who have experienced this? I'm not sure if Carl Jung wrote about this but I know Jean Piaget did, I need to read his works.
INTP here. Love the whiteboard and graphics. Helps me use them enough to become familiar. Not enough time in the day to watch long content and stay plugged in.
I just found your channel yesterday and it is amazing! This is super enlightening. I am an Ne Ti and one thing that really makes sense now is the child function. I remember someone very close to me saying I was so selfish and I only cared about myself. I NEVER cry and I ended up sobbing and I felt like the worst person in the world. This feels a little extra to explain but it fits perfectly to the Fe child function. Keep up the good work man!
WOWOWOWOWOW I´m glad I found you. I finally understand why while doing some tests I got results such as ENTP, ESFP and ofc sometimes ENTJ. YOU ARE AMAZING. I love your chanel so much, because thanks to that I figured out my INTJ personality type (I was thinking for last 9 months I'm ENTJ or ENTP)
I’m INTP and just yelled at my whole family because for hours because someone is sick and dying at it is completely preventable but they are just dumb. And I do that dishes/chore thing so creepy. -TrifectaOrgasmoGodoid
I'm exactly the same. Spent years trying to give medical advice to certain relatives which gets ignored until years later they finally they see I'm correct. It's annoying when you struggle with persuading others and they see you as incompetent.
There is so much to this I'm barely scratching the surface. I will have to watch more and more videos and even repeat the old ones, i want to understand this as much as possible if not completely. I'm still confused about my type idk if I'm making it more complicated than it should be or I'm just not able to see all of myself at the same time. I always thought i was going mad because of the drastic changes that happened over time depending on what was happening around me. Now , this video explains it all. I'll have to watch so much more about this, but i will and I've already been watching a ton. THANK YOU for making these videos, i wish this was something that everyone learned, if you ask me, i would put this in school instead of literally useless information and even wrong informations based on bias!!! I'm already telling my friends what I've learned from your videos and i learn so much every day. It makes me happy that they're actually interested in this. They don't think of it as one of my philosophical themes that only i would have interest in. They love it! I'll give all of me to spread the truth and to give an end to misunderstandings and wrong informations. By little steps we can change the world, alone but not so alone. As you've said here, we need each other to be truly successful and make humanity successful and make it better. Rambling rambling but i just had to put it out there and i hope you do read this one comment because i want to say thank you and thank you again. You've gave me concrete means to accomplish what I've been trying for so long (i did succeed a lot but ended up feeling weird and wrong because no one of the people that i have known at the time haven't even tried to understand everyone as i did and then i ended up being used because i was so tolerant i mean i still am very tolerant but i have put up borders now) i often end up writing a long comments filled with mostly uselless info dammit!!! I just wanted to say thank you. That was all... But here we are
Thanks for your video, Im an ENFP and been curious for a long time on human behavior and you gave quite an insight value to us. Hope to understand more from your videos.
my sister is an entp and it is trueeee.. she has zero moral sense of ethic, especially in the house lol. also the dark humor and that sarcastic face on her haha.. my parents complain all the time about that, i guess my Fi hero and my Ne are the reason why we get along so well. kinda balance each other and i can understand her logic too sometimes.
It's hilarious that as an INFP my trickster function is Se and my ESFP fiance is literally ALWAYS moving me out of the way because I'm about to walk into something because I have literally no spatial awareness! 😂
A friend recommended I watch this video bc she knew I've been struggling with not being able to determine my mbti bc the results were different each time. I have taken the test maybe 5 times and never resulted in infj, which I was almost certain I was but wanted to prove it. My friend said learn cognitive functions and you'll be able to prove it. She recommended INFJ UA-camr who created the Cognitive Personality Theory who spoke on Jung's transcendent function and individuation. I realize I used to live in my super bitch ego before I healed my anger/rage issues, and been primarily living in my subconscious ESTP. After just over 3 years of a spiritual personal growth healing journey, you taught me I'm able to live in almost all my cognition. Idk enough about the unconscious functions yet to see how I resonate, not quite sure I've reached enlightment yet, but I'm not done working on myself I'm certain I'll get there one year! Thanks for the video, it all makes so much sense now, I was losing my mind with all the stupid pointless tests. You just need to do your own research and figure yourself out, for you :)
And also bc I'm a 6w5 it's NOT common for an infj, I thought for the longest time I was INTJ or infp. Until I learned about cognitive functions then I realized the test can be unreliable - and the cognitive functions don't lie or cheat :)
I've been coming back to this video a hundred times by now and it's awesome. One thing has sort of picked at my brain a few times, when you mention The Dark Knight. The joker in The Dark Knight appears to be chaotic evil, but there's a much larger system at play under the surface. In Alfreds story about the man in the jungle, he didn't just want to see the world burn. He raided corrupt, government caravans with jewels used to bribe native chieftains. He was enforcing justice in the same vigilante manner as Bruce, - throwing the jewels away was not a sign of carelessness. He wanted to burn corruption. Throughout the movie you never see Joker harm anyone but dickbags. He blows up a hospital, sure - but only after giving people a very long time to clear out. He saw something in Dent that no one else did, - even Bruce missed it. The city appeared to be in control at the start of the film, but as we see later on - the corruption is still deeply seeded in Gotham. It's now mainly the big dogs playing and Joker infiltrates them in a matter of hours. He then gathers them up and convinces them to move all their assets into one location. He knows that money rules Gotham and that prison would only hold them for days if they still had their fortunes. He essentially took Batman's mask of fear concept and expanded it to a larger perspective than Bruce was able to.
So fascinating and helpful to finally have come to this video and see The Four Sides of The Mind in a much more whole and in-depth way. Thanks for this Chase
I'm an ISFJ. I become similar to INTJ (superego) when i'm having a really really hard time. I also become similar to ENTP(subconscious) sometimes. That experience was much more positive and productive as you mentioned, it was often amusing and i even felt like i became a smart person. Being similar to ESFP(unconscious) did not happen very often, and i felt unpleasant often because i had to discover that i'm not good at Se(nemesis); it was harder than being ENTP. but being like INTJ was worst... it was like being stuck in a prison or hell i cannot get out of... i wasted a lot of money and time whenever i was stuck in demon Ni. Today i realize what all the experiences really meant. Your explanation is really clever and helpful, Thank you Joseph.
But, isfj s super ego intj is a helping mode like infj, thats why many isfj in the net thinks they are infj, (experience) entp (isfj type) i know how anxiety is in isfj may be cz when i am isfj ,i am almost isfj , (i guess isfj fears future, entp dont, entp sometimes like having failure for their growth lol) but having si first means working first, isfj s are basically good detective too, cz they have entp(sub consciousness) 4th level detective, intj super ego (2nd level detective), while si remembers everything made them 1st level, but my friend doesn’t uses entp that much, always had this isfj, or intj helping mode but both are robotic so everyone misunderstood, but other isfj(entp like) friend does, and it is more entp than entp me lol But isfj me also being misunderstood now shifted into original entp rigidity, or intj half stable even ( rather throughing ne ti fe or si truth, just gave the individual ni te info and he feared,his shadow gone, just saying bunch of ti fi stuff which i told him before)
thanks to the car who passed, reflecting light on the ceiling I could finally understand whats the shape of the room xD thank you man for the content you are making
Makes sense. I'm an INTJ and developed my Ni and Te early on due to tough life events. Recently, I've been working for 2 years with Fi-doms in my workplace so I developed more of my Fi. That leaves Se to develop and I'm working consciously in that now. The curious thing happened after a while. I started to be more extraverted and tell a lot of jokes to people. Now I want to go out with people, want to learn how to dance, I'm going to concerts and walking trails! Did I just brought my subconscious ESFP out, through Se? I guess I did...
Thanks a lot for your insights CS Joseph. Have been watching your channel with my sweetheart (INFP) for quite a while now and they've really helped us in getting to know more about ourselves and others in many new ways. Am extremely grateful for this. Truly, if people were to give personality types more consideration, we'd be living in a very different world. Sending love and good luck to you and your kids. Keep up the 'dope' work, buddy :) - an ENFJ friend
I am watching this again since it is the best. No one else seems to get there are 4 sides well with others I watch. They call the unconscious the subconscious. Because of your teaching I have been able to use my subconscious in a much stronger way. Gateway from Se to ESTP. It most likely never be as strong as my ego ( I am thinking per what I have learned. ) INFJ, but people have noticed a change when I am extroverted into it.
This video is blowing my mind. Thank you for making these videos. Making this comment ~11:46 re: child abuse of what I previously only knew as the tertiary/child in the back seat function. Very freeing to see how all 16 functions fit - not just the top MBTI 4. Thank you.
I came to meet one of the personality types in hear once when I played the African drum for about two hours on top of a mountain by myself and I was shocked because I clearly felt another person was there with me. I hade that feeling for about a month and it was great I was me but another me I’m an enfp and I think I unlocked my infj personhood i felt super introverted and I could command the feeling of love in me when I said I feel love love washed over my body and it was mind blowing I could read peoples innermost feelings
I took the main one for fun once, got enfp. My school made me take it again, enfp. Then 2 different classes made me take a different kind, still got enfp each time
I really appreciate your circumspect insight into these subjects. I agree 100% with you here and I’ve always felt that you have to take things like this with a grain of salt, I am an INFP on the few times I’ve taken the MBTI over the last 15 years, once I did get an ENFP result, in any case I look at it as a “this and” not an “either or”. I am not going to react or respond to something so I can be in the INFP “box” or whatever.
Now I finally start to grasp why I can relate to different archetypes of the mbti whenever I read their profile on any mbti-related websites. I tried mbti-related tests numerous times in the past and the only thing that resonates with me is the ixxx. I read other archetypes just to have an idea on their personality. Everytime I take the tests, it shows different results except for the first letter. I got P twice for the last letter and I think I got J in the past as well. The 2nd and 3rd letter changes everytime I took the test. Because of that I still try taking a test whenever mbti brings up again on super rare occasions because I tend to forgot about it after a long time. I just remember it again whenever I browse the net and it popped up unexpectedly in a show or in the comments section that's why I got an interest in it again and found your videos from one of the comments in a forum. I take tests like this because I wanted to understand myself. I watched your first 2 seasons but skipped on some videos like this one. And go back to it again because I got confused and I now know that there will be a better understanding on the succeeding videos if one watch your videos chronologically. Your videos on cognitive functions of our mind made more sense and after I tried taking the socionics test unofficially, my result from socionic is sli which is istp and your istp video resonates to me more than the infp. The socionics resulsts resonates with me as well and its the first time I've heard of it. I got infp in the past twice and even though I can somehow relate, I cannot fully relate to it because I feel like something is missing on that video. Same with isfp that I got on 16personalities test. I can relate to some parts of isfp as well. After watching these, I get some enlightenment on why I get infp twice in my results in the past and why it still resonates in me somehow. And the reason was, infp is the super-ego of the istp types. I just want to clarify one thing. Even though I classify myself as istp now (quite unsure if it will be the same result after I watch season 15 soon, but I really feel that I'm istp) and infp is its super-ego, while fi is the demon of an istp ego, and fi is also the hero of an infp ego, it just shows that every cognitive function (fsnt+ie combination) has its corresponding 2 sides right: the good & the bad on each spectrum. Fi demon is the bad side (if immature) of istp and when that function develops, it becomes the good side (as we mature), to an fi hero that is (infp). Does that mean that I can be an infp ego if I can develop its fi and put it into good use at certain times even though I am istp by nature? Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. It was of great help to better understand these cognitive functions or the Jungian analytical psychology.
Thanks to you I've been able to type people within seconds of meeting them accurately and it's causing me to be excellent at social engineering others!! However no matter how hard I try it is impossible to type my self and nobody else seems to be able to either..
I've went through INFP, INTJ, ENFP, ISFP, INFJ, and ENFP but I conflict/contradict my prediction every time I try to type myself.. Same with others whom try to type me. Its very strange!
Yes. THIS. This is what I like to call (after mapping out all the types based on your super ego idea) one's "cluster." My hypothesis was that this is the most efficient way to accurately get one's type figured out (if having difficulty doing so). And, I see why you recommended it. Thanks bro ✌😎☝
As an Intp I understand your desire to save the world and I actually think you might have done it with these ideas. This is world changing information in my opinion. Most of the problems of the world are created by people not understanding themselves or others.
ENTJ here. Just a quick flaw in the logic. When you spoke about credentials being created so people can take information at face value, i LOL, cause thats the whole reason why books get published is because people with credentials said its accurate
It then becomes recursive because if wanting to have a purpose is my purpose then I’ll always be able to want to want to want to want ...etc but never actually just want
Fun fact , the Hindu god of creation Brahma has 4 heads In the pantheistic Kutsayana Hymn,[25] the Upanishad asserts that one's Soul is Brahman, and this Ultimate Reality, Cosmic Universal or God is within each living being. It equates the atman (Soul, Self) within to be Brahma and various alternate manifestations of Brahman ^from wikipedia
Hi,ISTP here i like the mbti system a lot cus i think its a puzzle,but i think sometimes when people are explaining certain types,the things they explain are overexaggerated, for example "ISTPS Get stressed when they are talking about thier feelings" i personally dont think its stress i think its fear,i used to be afraid of expressing my emotions,but i manned up,went up to a friend and straight up told him, hey i am insecure about how people feel about me he helped me express myself alot and i had finally felt connected to someone,i love the mbti system because its like a huge puzzle,but The moral of the story is,Don't go read stuff about mbti and say ohhhhh we get stressed when we use Inferior X and then we get stuck in an X-D loop, you need to focus on developing that inferior function even tho it wont really develope fully You still must try,thats all folks Peace out Having no limitation as limitation -Bruce Lee
This is interesting and if I tried this out... So my Ego is ESTJ, my subconscious is ISTP (which makes absolute sense), my subconscious is INFP and my Superego is ENFJ..
Damn man! I find this method of using the four sides of the mind so much more eadier to compreehend the MBTI that i don't understand why other typologist don't use it, just you C.S Joseph. And this example of the Joker was really accurate.
oh thank you so much for recommend this human matrix page, after uncontable tests and trying to find my self, I did finally got a result that I find precise like also the percentages of one and other, uau !!! a end of a long agony history !!!
This explains so much... and the examples about INTP, my type, were very accurate. I'm not sure I understand what exactly is the unconscious and the subconscious though. More about subconscious as I've researched John Beebe talking about the unconscious/shadow functions (was to his lecture recently actually!). Maybe because I'm not an english native and need to research what the un- and sub- prefixes really mean.
From the example though, are those the situations the unconscious and subconscious type behaviours typically appear in? Unconscious when in a crisis situations (INTP becoming ENTJ, taking charge), subconscious when in social situations (INTP becoming ESFJ and offering to clean dishes after dinner)?
Also, can the superego manifest in an aspirational and comfortable rather than corruptive way? I know you mentioned the 5% good and the Enlightement being the functions being in balance, but besides 'enlightement', which cannot be true for me as I am but a young kid at the start of my growth journey? Even before learning of this I've noticed I am very comfortable when I am able to kind of tap into the behaviours Fi-doms seem to use, and Se. I love the moods I sometimes get when I become more of an Artisan, still Behind the scenes, type, when I don't care about what other people think about me and can enjoy the moment and what feelings the sensory environment around me creates. Which I've now realized is literally my Superego, the ISFP with Fi-Se. I used to think that the type that I'd love to be if I wasnt INTP (though I have learned to love INTP) was INFP since I loove the ones that I know. But now I think it's probably ISFP because of the Se. Okay that was long and rambly and sorry for the flood of not very comprehensible questions but could the Superego manifest as a sort of Aspiration, and is my liking and sometimes succumbing to the Superego something I should stop at once cause it will have bad consequences (me becoming a supervillain, for example ;) )?
Oh but I also just noticed in my recommended videos feed your video about How do congitive transitions impact the four sides of the mind? so that could explain a lot of my questions, sorry for asking before watching everything woops, excuse me
Subconcious is what is used for being aspirational. Unconscious = the shadow according to Beebe and while the shadow can be used in crisis situations it can also be used in immature situations or something to be used to achieve balance.
The superego primarily exists as a reset button on our life. If we get stuck or in a bad situation, we can use the super ego as the nuclear option to reset everything.
My test results are usually INTJ, INTP; very occasionally INFP and ISFP. In IDR Lab's cognitive function test, I get Ni as my top function followed by Ne, which is confusing. These results somehow end up suggesting that I am INFJ. Learning about Si and Se functions has helped me to narrow my type down, because I have a good memory about my history of weakness with Se based on other people's comments (reliable historical data) that I can use to type myself :) The rest of the functions are challenging so still learning more, while using your new videos about interaction styles and temperament to further help narrow down the choices by eliminating what types are impossible.
I'm an INTP, my sister is an ESTJ, our father is ISTP and our mother is ESFJ; is there correlation of our own personas to our parents and being able to conceive certain types. When you cross-check the 4 personas, there's something interesting going on in relation to my family. I quickly googled genetics in relation to personality type and a woman was wondering similar; how it was possible for her, an ISFJ, and her husband, an ISTP, to produce an INTJ and an INFJ. Based on personas, quite possible. And what are the chances of someone being introverted or extroverted based on whether they have two intro parents or one of each; the latter leading to a 50% chance or some other percentile based on whether one parent is more present/active in the upbringing than the other.
Acrobaticon this is an ongoing discussion within the Jungian Analytical Psychology community. I have invented algorithms that would potentially answer these questions. However, the platform with which I need to deploy them has yet to be developed. But currently , type manifesting is being treated the same as how handedness manifests.
Super interesting. I'm intrigued. Kind of like Howard Stark, in Iron Man 2, being limited by the technology of his time ;) I'm subscribed to your channel now; very informative content and I eagerly await additional instalments.
After I took the test, before finding this channel, I binged a few "INTJ" centered videos. There was a young woman who said something like "I'm INTJ, except when I watch sad movies, then I become a little INFJ." I obviously didn't understand the nuances at the time, but I thought it sounded ridiculous.
Hey C.S. Joseph, your videos are awesome!! Thanks for informing us on such important 'life' topics :) I have a question related to your video (and I'm providing some background info first, so bear with me!) So there are 4 possible ‘mindset’ combinations: INTJ-ENTP-ESFP-ISFJ ENTJ-INTP-ISFP-ESFJ ISTP-ESTJ-ENFJ-INFP ESTP-ISTJ-INFJ-ENFP (with 4 possible permutations per combination, which gives us the 16 types) What’s interesting is that, when you look at the temperaments (guardian-G, artisan-A, intellectual, idealist), each mindset has one temperament that is NOT represented. INTJ-ENTP-ESFP-ISFJ (G + A + 2 x Intellectual) - No Idealist ENTJ-INTP-ISFP-ESFJ (G + A + 2 x Intellectual) - No Idealist ISTP-ESTJ-ENFJ-INFP (G + A + 2 x Idealist) - No Intellectual ESTP-ISTJ-INFJ-ENFP (G + A + 2 x Idealist) - No Intellectual Any thoughts on why this is? A related observation/thought…if the Intellectuals and Idealists were categorized as NJ/NP instead of NT/NF, this would be consistent with the way Guardians and Artisans are categorized (with a J/P), and also it would result in each of the temperaments being represented in each of the mindsets (making us more 'balanced')…so from a consistency/logic standpoint it would make more sense (and as I’m typing this I just remembered you mentioning in one of your videos that INFJ’s can almost be considered as a Thinker or Intellectual…what if INFJ (and ENFJ) are indeed miscategorized??) Of course, we are talking about (human) nature here, which can be highly illogical, so the patterns I’m looking for may not even be real! Let me know what you think or if my logic is off... Thanks!!
I think that strong (Ne) types are more likely to understand (and put into practice) the individual pieces of information that depth psychology is made up of. It's really important for the future that Initiatives find ways to effectively communicate these concepts to the rest of the (Se) world. So far the best way I can come up with is to make it about "saving the country" or "save your future" instead of "save the future." maybe this is obvious to everyone but me but I think it's important to discuss. - Obvious INTP out.
Damn, ENTPs are great, I’m lowkey being mind blown as he talks nonchalantly to pick an example when he related Martin Luther King sin quote to superego then talked about what enlightenment is- btw INTJ here
First, of, kudos to you, this channel and your video's are easily the best on youtube, keep it up! Question: what is the difference between the subconcious and the unconsious?
Ario - the subconscious is the part of the mind that people are tryin to be more like or become, the unconscious is where a person’s immaturity exists.
Thanks Chase, very informative. Still, I need to solve an important question regarding the four sides of the mind, which I haven't solved in this or other of your videos: PLEASE explain where within the mind do the subconscious and unconscious are? When do they become activated? Which is deeper within? How are they diffrent? Is one more powerful/useful than the other? THANK YOU SO MUCH. Gabriel (44 y/o, male, spanish speaker INTP) ;)
Much respect for you with your insights on the four sides of the mind! How did you discover that this was true? I have a burning question. I am an INFP, but it looks like my subconscious is ISTJ. I think there is a reason for that. It is hard for me to extrovert because I struggle with a physical condition that makes me really tired a lot (and reaching out to other people requires A LOT of energy). But, often I have to use that practical part of me at work and to get things done that are my responsibilities, I have to use TE and SI. How does that work that I appear to be still introverting when I go into my practical subconscious to try to do my (extremely awfully boring) job? Note: my mind wanders frequently onto things I ACTUALLY WANT to think about, but I FI VALUE being a good worker, so I keep trying to pull myself back into getting the job done.
I'm an INFP and honestly I think I have pretty good spacial awareness when I move through my environment in a conscious way, but I do tend to lose track of time a lot or procrastinate for too long when I don't set deadlines. My brain will easily get distracted by what I'm passionate towards and almost block out my responsibilities if I don't set clear goals for myself to complete. Not to mention, I have a hard time staying organized. Anyone else relate?
The biggest benefit I've gotten from learning about MBTI is that I've stopped naively thinking that everybody thought the same way as I do. Duh! I was projecting my own priorities, goals, aspirations, and world view on others, as in "deep down this guy or that girl really does care about other people's feelings and needs." Now I know that they don't always, and that's huge for me. Not all people see the use or need to help those less fortunate, or to be truthful, or to be open to others' points of view or sensitive to their feelings. It's great knowing that people are just wired in different ways , and it's not up to me to try to change them "for their own good." Although frankly, I still wish I could. (*sigh)
Well said.
Thanks!
I wish I were more in tune with my feels, 😔
It'd be better than this never ending cycle of ignore the feelings and later on have it leak into your productivity or mind.. And you suddenly find yourself self sabotaging like a mo fo 🤣
but feels are more of an "intellectuallizing" for me. "this is how I've learned to expect to supposed to feel about this or that situation.." I guess kind of like how people with color blindness know Orange is orange.. But they just don't "experience" it.. in the same way.
For me it really helps me with understanding people, because Im autistic and didnt really understand people before, though I oh so much value understanding what motivates people, and this helps me a lot with understanding and relating to different values and what not. And its so interesting!
Exactly the same as me! I, in a more pessimistic way (cause I feel the need to be unique) assumed that everyone generally thought and acted the same way I did. MBTI opened up my eyes.
If a party has a bunch of introverts, the less introverted of them will seem extroverted...

How you doing out there? Check in knock knock 🙏
Dude I’ve watched many of your videos and it’s all incredible. I’m actually learning more again. I feel like you’re stuff is college level which is really what I needed. Thank you! (Infp here)
Doesn't matter as long as it's true. :D
I’m an INFJ (not self-typed) and my mom is an ISTJ (I typed her). Time to time I find it useful to ask myself “What would my mom think/do?” Not with the feeling of guilt, just to look at the situation from a different angle when I’m stuck. And the answer generally is to learn the information that I considered unworthy of learning previously which I believe is all that sensory data I skip over. It works!
There is a misunderstanding of Infj. Our critic isn’t telling us we are bad people- it is correcting our path. For example, one path is pride. We are drawn to self defense and the finer side of life but the critic warns us of the possible downfalls in that direction. So humility comes as a refirection, for a better life and kindness to others. The self- loathing comes from not being able to be the person you see in your mind. This can be mitigated through patience, perceverance and and a good mentor or friend. The drive to serve other people is not correct. That is ESFJ. We will serve other people but for the reason that it is the right thing to do and makes the world a better place but not that we need to be needed. We want to be valued for our foresight and expertise. When we are taken advantage of and assumed to be the server type we shut down out of resentment. We want to be loved because we are good and wise. Not loved because we are doormats and need flogging.
well said kelley
So very accurate.
INFJ... Yes! Fi critic isn't feeling inferior to others in any way... maybe feeling incompetent or frustrated in being misunderstood, but not self inferior or self-condemning.
In fact, I think this is where my (be prepared for a bs term) "INFJ rage" gets triggered easiest. I've had to deal with people forcing me into my Inferior function & sub/un-conscious states plenty with the question, "How are you today?" hahaha. IDK, that's an Si function. It always gives me a mild shock before I answer. sigh. ...
But when people give me their unsolicited opinions about me, especially if I'm expected to listen without my own reactions and Fe being allowed in the Fi processing... it can get ugly once my limit is reached. sorry. truth. ... not a doormat.
I'm kind because I understand feelings, both "good" & "bad" ones (I don't really put weight on feelings like that). And I can see how feelings shape and affect humanity. (there are some feelings you wouldn't even wish on an enemy once you understand them). So, I care about others. How they feel affects how I feel, It affects the world I live in. ...
Our advocate nature and desire to help others, I believe, stems more from understanding discomfort and wishing that on no one, more than it does a need for validation of our feelings (like w/enfj). ...
My validation desire ties more to my Ni-Ti looping tendencies, hahaha. Yes! ... We want to be valued for our foresight & expertise more than anything... I'm a woman, but I would much rather hear a comment about my abilities than my looks any day. In fact, the vanity comments kinda annoy me if I'm not getting a balance of people noticing my brains as well.
I can see the point you are making but you are both right and wrong. I don't believe the assumption that Fi critic isn't self loathing by nature because it certainly is. It allows us to be humble and question if we are making to right choice which is the "correction" you were talking about. However, it fundamentally means that we are hesitant to trust our own moral judgements and thus makes us concerned whether or not we are moral ourselves. This can be a passive criticism or a harsh one depending on your current circumstances and what decisions you are trying to contemplate. In the end it's the same, we are concerned we are bad people and thus critique ourselves and our choices based on a moral perspective and over compensate with our compassion for others with Fe parent. It is true that a great amount of grief is caused by us not living up to what we see in our minds, but that is secondary to the cause. We fail to be that person by default and thus question our own value since we are unable to attain it no matter how badly we want to. Hope this is clear and concise.
@@TheHashSlingingSlasher548 ,
True.
Another video of his talks about the difference of being morals dominant or ethics dominant. INFJ are ethics dominant. Our morals become more maliable as we processes new revelations of TRUTH. 🤷 So we question them more.
My enfj hubby is morals dominant and I used to question his ethics more than I should have before getting to understand our differences better.
I'm an INTP, so of course I have a theory- I think that the critic function is the personality's ultimate goal. For example, an INTP uses Ti Ne to seek out ultimate truth (Ni, their critic). ESTPs want to get things done overall (their critic is Te). Se and Ti are great tools to achieve thorough Te. Also, I believe one respects those who have their critical function as their hero. For example, INTPs and INTJs generally have a mutual respect for one another. INTPs also respect INFJs.
I think that's an interesting theory you have. I'm an INTJ, where Ti is supposed to be the critic, and I respect the logic of INTPs. In fact I feel like one of the greatest failures/embarrassments possible is to be caught being illogical.
midnight15086 that’s so true! As an INTP, a big embarrassment is to have an educated conclusion (Ni) proven wrong.
@@joshualevan Interesting. Ni is my first function so I'm used to being so full of possibilites and educated guesses that some will inevitably be wrong haha. I don't feel stupid as long as people understand my ideas are not concrete factual conclusions. A wrong educated guess doesn't make you unintelligent- hypotheses exist to eventually be proven right or wrong and we usually learn something from them in the process either way.
Another INTP here! I think you may be onto something, but it only works with types that you share functions with (like thinking or feeling). Eg. INTPs and INTJs have that special feeling of respect and liking but not INTPs and INFJ's, or INTJs and INFPs. I think? Maybe this is related to the idea that ideal relationships are flipped types (ie. INTPs and ENTJs); INTJs also have all the same functions as ENTJs in similar positions (high Te/Ni, low Se/Fi). It seems that not only is it important that the functions be opposite, but opposite in a very specific way. For example, I have a very good ESFP friend, who also shares all the same functions as INTJs and ENTJs but since his feeling is pretty high he demands that I provide him with good feeling experiences which I JUST CAN'T. My Fe is literally at an animal level. :( But INTJs and ENTJs may be ok with more primitive feeling because their Fi is also primitive?Personally, I've found I hit it off much better with INTJs than ENTJs, despite this being the "ideal pairing". Maybe this theory of the critic function is why? This may also be why Chase loooves ENTJ's so much, as ENTJ would be his "ultimate goal" type. :)
@@Philosophicalpaperti You're onto something. Chase has a series of videos about how the types get along together. Maybe it looks like you imagined.
Once on an lsd trip I was totally a perfectly unified enlightened being with the 4 sides of my minds lol
Salim Huerta OMFG I’m so glad someone mentioned drugs, I smoked weed a couple of times and my mind literally pulled me into my unconscious and I did not know what the hell was going on . After that I never returned back to my ego I think. Because all I feel about everything is misery !

I love how he manipulates Ni-Se and Ne-Si by changing some words. He is letting Ni (Ni-Se) to want, allowing them to choose and creating a goal to achieve. But he also is embracing the duty of Si users (Ne-Si), telling them what they should do. I simply love it.
PD: Sorry for my horrible english.
Best regards from an INTJ who has been seduced by yours & Jungian Analythical Psychology ideas.
In my opinion you are pushing the edges of this specific field/topic. keep on the good work.
i dont know how to respond to this
C.S. Joseph :)
@mrala you could at least tell him why he is pushing the edges. It doesn’t make sense to state an opinion as a critique without giving the reasons
I think the concept of enlightenment with combining the four sides of the mind together and balancing it, is brilliant.
I watched a video by The Imaginary Axis where the point is: The joker is actually hyper-sane and aware that he is in a comic, and that his actions in fact have no consequences, but no one else is aware of this which actually pushes him over the edge.
That sounds psychopathic.
This is a comprehensive analysis of the four sides of the mind. It is seemingly filling in the gap where many Meyers-Briggs tests stop providing information. Thank you for sharing. What would you recommend for further reading on Jungian Cognitive functions and this four sides of the mind perspective?
I love how all of this psychology information all wraps together. And idk if it’s just my personality thinking this way, but I feel like introverted intuition is the heart of all power in this universe.
I'm adding my voice to the chorus asking for more in-depth information on where the theory of the four sides comes from. INTP here, and the little you've given us is awesome, but nowhere near comprehensive enough make me feel like I've grasped this. Thank you!
11:50 wow, as an INFP in STEM major, who are likely to be forced to use their Te function all the time... I'm speechless.
Re-watched. Excellent. A classic.
I appreciate this video a lot, I didn't fully understand the four sides of the mind until watching this and it helps me handle people who treat the MBTI like the zodiac signs.
This definitely makes sense. I was trying to figure out why I am such a good friend to myself. Maybe my ego, INTP, is befriended by my subconscious - ESFJ. I think this is how I survived one summer when I was like, literally alone for up to weeks at a time trying to finish my thesis. I made myself really good food, listened to nice music and sat in comfy chairs in order to get my work done, and I thought, wow: I am one of my best friends ever. But when I found out my type was actually INTP, I was really excited to get to know new INTP people. Then I saw your video on INTP's compatibility types and became sad because I thought, but I am nice to myself, so why would I have such a bad time with other INTPs (that hilarious argument you demonstrated that would happen between 2 INTPs)? Perhaps with INTPs, I go into my ESFJ subconscious because I'm so excited to meet someone like me. This is a very stupid comment, I apologize.
thanks for commenting, i dont feel you are stupid
This was a very stupid comment, you stupid dumb ESFJ. I hope you feel ashamed of yourself! -intp
I'm a nice INTP! I think I spend a lot of time in ESFJ-land, especially after spending years and years making friends with my Fe. I think you just need to find another nice INTP. Good luck with that though because we're so goddam rare. I had a (woman) professor who I am sure was an INTP and I was soooo excited, but I couldn't get up the nerve to try to make friends with her. :/ Also, I doubt she would have appreciated all of my Jung/spirituality stuff since she was a hard core statistician...

Thanks for this video..I am an ENTJ and an IT person, so Psychology for me was 'a new field' until a couple of years ago when I found out my MBTI type. Even amidst my ignorance I didnt find credible where people told me 'oh..I am an INTJ but sometimes I am an ENTJ'. This video has been absolutely valuable for me and I have replied it 3 times. Thanks
I'm so glad you started this channel it's extremely difficult to comb through the fluff of MBTI/Cognitive Functions. Even when neuroscience gets involved like with Dario Nardi's work it is only scratching the surface of the subject. I'm an INFJ so you're aware of the insecurities, worries and negative self talk that runs rampant in my mind. Because of my temperament I spent a lot of my life stressed out. So I think I've become very familiar with my shadow over the years. When I got to my 30's I had another emotional "betrayal" causing a psychological break like it tends to happen to my type; but that time it was as if I had an internal struggle of good and evil. Where I spent weeks trying to pull back my rage and desire to destroy everything and start over "New Beginnings" when I finally felt centered again it was as if I combined my good and evil to find balance. After that experience I find myself falling into flow states either by inducing them myself or I might just fall into a flow state when my inner critic finally shuts up. I know this is long but do you know of other people who have experienced this? I'm not sure if Carl Jung wrote about this but I know Jean Piaget did, I need to read his works.
Please review my lecture on cognitive transitions.
thank you very much.
INTP here. Love the whiteboard and graphics. Helps me use them enough to become familiar. Not enough time in the day to watch long content and stay plugged in.
I just found your channel yesterday and it is amazing! This is super enlightening. I am an Ne Ti and one thing that really makes sense now is the child function. I remember someone very close to me saying I was so selfish and I only cared about myself. I NEVER cry and I ended up sobbing and I felt like the worst person in the world. This feels a little extra to explain but it fits perfectly to the Fe child function. Keep up the good work man!

such a clear presentation on the four parts of the personality and their functions !
There is so much to this I'm barely scratching the surface. I will have to watch more and more videos and even repeat the old ones, i want to understand this as much as possible if not completely. I'm still confused about my type idk if I'm making it more complicated than it should be or I'm just not able to see all of myself at the same time. I always thought i was going mad because of the drastic changes that happened over time depending on what was happening around me. Now , this video explains it all. I'll have to watch so much more about this, but i will and I've already been watching a ton. THANK YOU for making these videos, i wish this was something that everyone learned, if you ask me, i would put this in school instead of literally useless information and even wrong informations based on bias!!! I'm already telling my friends what I've learned from your videos and i learn so much every day. It makes me happy that they're actually interested in this. They don't think of it as one of my philosophical themes that only i would have interest in. They love it! I'll give all of me to spread the truth and to give an end to misunderstandings and wrong informations. By little steps we can change the world, alone but not so alone. As you've said here, we need each other to be truly successful and make humanity successful and make it better. Rambling rambling but i just had to put it out there and i hope you do read this one comment because i want to say thank you and thank you again. You've gave me concrete means to accomplish what I've been trying for so long (i did succeed a lot but ended up feeling weird and wrong because no one of the people that i have known at the time haven't even tried to understand everyone as i did and then i ended up being used because i was so tolerant i mean i still am very tolerant but i have put up borders now)

A friend recommended I watch this video bc she knew I've been struggling with not being able to determine my mbti bc the results were different each time. I have taken the test maybe 5 times and never resulted in infj, which I was almost certain I was but wanted to prove it. My friend said learn cognitive functions and you'll be able to prove it. She recommended INFJ UA-camr who created the Cognitive Personality Theory who spoke on Jung's transcendent function and individuation. I realize I used to live in my super bitch ego before I healed my anger/rage issues, and been primarily living in my subconscious ESTP. After just over 3 years of a spiritual personal growth healing journey, you taught me I'm able to live in almost all my cognition. Idk enough about the unconscious functions yet to see how I resonate, not quite sure I've reached enlightment yet, but I'm not done working on myself I'm certain I'll get there one year! Thanks for the video, it all makes so much sense now, I was losing my mind with all the stupid pointless tests. You just need to do your own research and figure yourself out, for you :)
And also bc I'm a 6w5 it's NOT common for an infj, I thought for the longest time I was INTJ or infp. Until I learned about cognitive functions then I realized the test can be unreliable - and the cognitive functions don't lie or cheat :)
Thank goodnes I found your channel. I feel like I'm finally starting to crack the code of my own existence. Thank you!
I've been coming back to this video a hundred times by now and it's awesome. One thing has sort of picked at my brain a few times, when you mention The Dark Knight.
The joker in The Dark Knight appears to be chaotic evil, but there's a much larger system at play under the surface.
In Alfreds story about the man in the jungle, he didn't just want to see the world burn. He raided corrupt, government caravans with jewels used to bribe native chieftains. He was enforcing justice in the same vigilante manner as Bruce, - throwing the jewels away was not a sign of carelessness. He wanted to burn corruption.
Throughout the movie you never see Joker harm anyone but dickbags. He blows up a hospital, sure - but only after giving people a very long time to clear out. He saw something in Dent that no one else did, - even Bruce missed it. The city appeared to be in control at the start of the film, but as we see later on - the corruption is still deeply seeded in Gotham. It's now mainly the big dogs playing and Joker infiltrates them in a matter of hours. He then gathers them up and convinces them to move all their assets into one location. He knows that money rules Gotham and that prison would only hold them for days if they still had their fortunes. He essentially took Batman's mask of fear concept and expanded it to a larger perspective than Bruce was able to.
So fascinating and helpful to finally have come to this video and see The Four Sides of The Mind in a much more whole and in-depth way.
Thanks for this Chase
you are most welcome
extremely helpful and incredible. it doesn't even seem as if you're using any script ??? how.. I'm just in awe. you're my favorite person on UA-cam.
yeah no script
I'm an ISFJ.
I become similar to INTJ (superego) when i'm having a really really hard time.
I also become similar to ENTP(subconscious) sometimes. That experience was much more positive and productive as you mentioned, it was often amusing and i even felt like i became a smart person.
Being similar to ESFP(unconscious) did not happen very often, and i felt unpleasant often because i had to discover that i'm not good at Se(nemesis); it was harder than being ENTP.
but being like INTJ was worst... it was like being stuck in a prison or hell i cannot get out of... i wasted a lot of money and time whenever i was stuck in demon Ni.
Today i realize what all the experiences really meant. Your explanation is really clever and helpful, Thank you Joseph.
But, isfj s super ego intj is a helping mode like infj, thats why many isfj in the net thinks they are infj, (experience) entp (isfj type) i know how anxiety is in isfj may be cz when i am isfj ,i am almost isfj , (i guess isfj fears future, entp dont, entp sometimes like having failure for their growth lol) but having si first means working first, isfj s are basically good detective too, cz they have entp(sub consciousness) 4th level detective, intj super ego (2nd level detective), while si remembers everything made them 1st level, but my friend doesn’t uses entp that much, always had this isfj, or intj helping mode but both are robotic so everyone misunderstood, but other isfj(entp like) friend does, and it is more entp than entp me lol
But isfj me also being misunderstood now shifted into original entp rigidity, or intj half stable even ( rather throughing ne ti fe or si truth, just gave the individual ni te info and he feared,his shadow gone, just saying bunch of ti fi stuff which i told him before)
thanks to the car who passed, reflecting light on the ceiling I could finally understand whats the shape of the room xD
thank you man for the content you are making
I took the test without any prior knowledge/expectations and I got the same results using your grid
Makes sense. I'm an INTJ and developed my Ni and Te early on due to tough life events. Recently, I've been working for 2 years with Fi-doms in my workplace so I developed more of my Fi. That leaves Se to develop and I'm working consciously in that now. The curious thing happened after a while. I started to be more extraverted and tell a lot of jokes to people. Now I want to go out with people, want to learn how to dance, I'm going to concerts and walking trails! Did I just brought my subconscious ESFP out, through Se? I guess I did...
Thanks a lot for your insights CS Joseph. Have been watching your channel with my sweetheart (INFP) for quite a while now and they've really helped us in getting to know more about ourselves and others in many new ways. Am extremely grateful for this. Truly, if people were to give personality types more consideration, we'd be living in a very different world. Sending love and good luck to you and your kids. Keep up the 'dope' work, buddy :)

much appreciated
Hey Sethu can u pls decribe ur infp partner , I got infp too but want to be sure
I am watching this again since it is the best. No one else seems to get there are 4 sides well with others I watch. They call the unconscious the subconscious. Because of your teaching I have been able to use my subconscious in a much stronger way. Gateway from Se to ESTP. It most likely never be as strong as my ego ( I am thinking per what I have learned. ) INFJ, but people have noticed a change when I am extroverted into it.
This is really awesome. It solves lots of ambiguities. Thank you for coming up with it and sharing it.
Thank you so much for the indepth content. This is really premium stuff
much appreciated ^^
This video is blowing my mind. Thank you for making these videos. Making this comment ~11:46 re: child abuse of what I previously only knew as the tertiary/child in the back seat function. Very freeing to see how all 16 functions fit - not just the top MBTI 4. Thank you.
I came to meet one of the personality types in hear once when I played the African drum for about two hours on top of a mountain by myself and I was shocked because I clearly felt another person was there with me. I hade that feeling for about a month and it was great I was me but another me I’m an enfp and I think I unlocked my infj personhood i felt super introverted and I could command the feeling of love in me when I said I feel love love washed over my body and it was mind blowing I could read peoples innermost feelings
I took the main one for fun once, got enfp. My school made me take it again, enfp. Then 2 different classes made me take a different kind, still got enfp each time
I really appreciate your circumspect insight into these subjects. I agree 100% with you here and I’ve always felt that you have to take things like this with a grain of salt, I am an INFP on the few times I’ve taken the MBTI over the last 15 years, once I did get an ENFP result, in any case I look at it as a “this and” not an “either or”. I am not going to react or respond to something so I can be in the INFP “box” or whatever.
Now I finally start to grasp why I can relate to different archetypes of the mbti whenever I read their profile on any mbti-related websites. I tried mbti-related tests numerous times in the past and the only thing that resonates with me is the ixxx. I read other archetypes just to have an idea on their personality. Everytime I take the tests, it shows different results except for the first letter. I got P twice for the last letter and I think I got J in the past as well. The 2nd and 3rd letter changes everytime I took the test. Because of that I still try taking a test whenever mbti brings up again on super rare occasions because I tend to forgot about it after a long time. I just remember it again whenever I browse the net and it popped up unexpectedly in a show or in the comments section that's why I got an interest in it again and found your videos from one of the comments in a forum. I take tests like this because I wanted to understand myself.
I watched your first 2 seasons but skipped on some videos like this one. And go back to it again because I got confused and I now know that there will be a better understanding on the succeeding videos if one watch your videos chronologically. Your videos on cognitive functions of our mind made more sense and after I tried taking the socionics test unofficially, my result from socionic is sli which is istp and your istp video resonates to me more than the infp. The socionics resulsts resonates with me as well and its the first time I've heard of it. I got infp in the past twice and even though I can somehow relate, I cannot fully relate to it because I feel like something is missing on that video. Same with isfp that I got on 16personalities test. I can relate to some parts of isfp as well. After watching these, I get some enlightenment on why I get infp twice in my results in the past and why it still resonates in me somehow. And the reason was, infp is the super-ego of the istp types.
I just want to clarify one thing. Even though I classify myself as istp now (quite unsure if it will be the same result after I watch season 15 soon, but I really feel that I'm istp) and infp is its super-ego, while fi is the demon of an istp ego, and fi is also the hero of an infp ego, it just shows that every cognitive function (fsnt+ie combination) has its corresponding 2 sides right: the good & the bad on each spectrum. Fi demon is the bad side (if immature) of istp and when that function develops, it becomes the good side (as we mature), to an fi hero that is (infp). Does that mean that I can be an infp ego if I can develop its fi and put it into good use at certain times even though I am istp by nature?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. It was of great help to better understand these cognitive functions or the Jungian analytical psychology.
Thanks to you I've been able to type people within seconds of meeting them accurately and it's causing me to be excellent at social engineering others!! However no matter how hard I try it is impossible to type my self and nobody else seems to be able to either..
I've went through INFP, INTJ, ENFP, ISFP, INFJ, and ENFP but I conflict/contradict my prediction every time I try to type myself.. Same with others whom try to type me. Its very strange!
When I'm on caffeine I am highly informative and initiating but when I'm off caffiene I'm calm, collected, and responding
And yet even that contradicts itself with me
You are one o the most underrated and the best mbti youtuber there is. Learnt so much from you. Thank you. Huge fan. Infp here
As a fellow ENTP there was times when my anger got the best of me. I was throwing blows and not caring about the result afterwards.

:/ I’m glad you’re not there anymore. I hope the people around you are okay though.
This is so important! Wow!
Yes.
THIS.
This is what I like to call (after mapping out all the types based on your super ego idea) one's "cluster."
My hypothesis was that this is the most efficient way to accurately get one's type figured out (if having difficulty doing so).
And, I see why you recommended it.
Thanks bro ✌😎☝
Dope, I am thankful you watched it.
CS Joseph I give you a trophy 🏆 for how smart you are and I thank you for your wisdom and knowledge it is expanding my mind...
As an Intp I understand your desire to save the world and I actually think you might have done it with these ideas. This is world changing information in my opinion. Most of the problems of the world are created by people not understanding themselves or others.
ENTJ here. Just a quick flaw in the logic. When you spoke about credentials being created so people can take information at face value, i LOL, cause thats the whole reason why books get published is because people with credentials said its accurate
It then becomes recursive because if wanting to have a purpose is my purpose then I’ll always be able to want to want to want to want ...etc but never actually just want
Fun fact , the Hindu god of creation Brahma has 4 heads
In the pantheistic Kutsayana Hymn,[25] the Upanishad asserts that one's Soul is Brahman, and this Ultimate Reality, Cosmic Universal or God is within each living being. It equates the atman (Soul, Self) within to be Brahma and various alternate manifestations of Brahman
^from wikipedia
That is a fun fact
Thanks for putting in the time to make these videos, they're very helpful and informative.
Hi,ISTP here i like the mbti system a lot cus i think its a puzzle,but i think sometimes when people are explaining certain types,the things they explain are overexaggerated, for example "ISTPS Get stressed when they are talking about thier feelings" i personally dont think its stress i think its fear,i used to be afraid of expressing my emotions,but i manned up,went up to a friend and straight up told him, hey i am insecure about how people feel about me he helped me express myself alot and i had finally felt connected to someone,i love the mbti system because its like a huge puzzle,but The moral of the story is,Don't go read stuff about mbti and say ohhhhh we get stressed when we use Inferior X and then we get stuck in an X-D loop, you need to focus on developing that inferior function even tho it wont really develope fully You still must try,thats all folks Peace out
Having no limitation as limitation
-Bruce Lee
This is interesting and if I tried this out... So my Ego is ESTJ, my subconscious is ISTP (which makes absolute sense), my subconscious is INFP and my Superego is ENFJ..
I ❤love❤ this I wanna show it to every MBTI lover! I really wish more folks understood this stuff it is so useful!😂
Thank you so much for doing this video. You're insanely insightful and break it down well.
Damn man! I find this method of using the four sides of the mind so much more eadier to compreehend the MBTI that i don't understand why other typologist don't use it, just you C.S Joseph. And this example of the Joker was really accurate.
wow, I love you, thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much Joseph! Very clear explanation!!
Excellent. This was eye-opening.
oh thank you so much for recommend this human matrix page, after uncontable tests and trying to find my self, I did finally got a result that I find precise like also the percentages of one and other, uau !!! a end of a long agony history !!!
You should make this video a requirement for anyone who wants coaching from you!!
Now, this makes sense really makes sense.
Thanks a lot.
This explains so much... and the examples about INTP, my type, were very accurate. I'm not sure I understand what exactly is the unconscious and the subconscious though. More about subconscious as I've researched John Beebe talking about the unconscious/shadow functions (was to his lecture recently actually!). Maybe because I'm not an english native and need to research what the un- and sub- prefixes really mean.
From the example though, are those the situations the unconscious and subconscious type behaviours typically appear in? Unconscious when in a crisis situations (INTP becoming ENTJ, taking charge), subconscious when in social situations (INTP becoming ESFJ and offering to clean dishes after dinner)?
Also, can the superego manifest in an aspirational and comfortable rather than corruptive way? I know you mentioned the 5% good and the Enlightement being the functions being in balance, but besides 'enlightement', which cannot be true for me as I am but a young kid at the start of my growth journey? Even before learning of this I've noticed I am very comfortable when I am able to kind of tap into the behaviours Fi-doms seem to use, and Se. I love the moods I sometimes get when I become more of an Artisan, still Behind the scenes, type, when I don't care about what other people think about me and can enjoy the moment and what feelings the sensory environment around me creates. Which I've now realized is literally my Superego, the ISFP with Fi-Se. I used to think that the type that I'd love to be if I wasnt INTP (though I have learned to love INTP) was INFP since I loove the ones that I know. But now I think it's probably ISFP because of the Se. Okay that was long and rambly and sorry for the flood of not very comprehensible questions but could the Superego manifest as a sort of Aspiration, and is my liking and sometimes succumbing to the Superego something I should stop at once cause it will have bad consequences (me becoming a supervillain, for example ;) )?
Oh but I also just noticed in my recommended videos feed your video about How do congitive transitions impact the four sides of the mind? so that could explain a lot of my questions, sorry for asking before watching everything woops, excuse me
Subconcious is what is used for being aspirational. Unconscious = the shadow according to Beebe and while the shadow can be used in crisis situations it can also be used in immature situations or something to be used to achieve balance.
The superego primarily exists as a reset button on our life. If we get stuck or in a bad situation, we can use the super ego as the nuclear option to reset everything.
Did I hear "Fucktions" at the 12th second of the 8th minute? 🧐
UA-cam, arrest this man 🤨
My test results are usually INTJ, INTP; very occasionally INFP and ISFP.
In IDR Lab's cognitive function test, I get Ni as my top function followed by Ne, which is confusing. These results somehow end up suggesting that I am INFJ.
Learning about Si and Se functions has helped me to narrow my type down, because I have a good memory about my history of weakness with Se based on other people's comments (reliable historical data) that I can use to type myself :) The rest of the functions are challenging so still learning more, while using your new videos about interaction styles and temperament to further help narrow down the choices by eliminating what types are impossible.
Awesome!
Thanks for pointing this out, very helpful.
I'm an INTP, my sister is an ESTJ, our father is ISTP and our mother is ESFJ; is there correlation of our own personas to our parents and being able to conceive certain types. When you cross-check the 4 personas, there's something interesting going on in relation to my family. I quickly googled genetics in relation to personality type and a woman was wondering similar; how it was possible for her, an ISFJ, and her husband, an ISTP, to produce an INTJ and an INFJ. Based on personas, quite possible. And what are the chances of someone being introverted or extroverted based on whether they have two intro parents or one of each; the latter leading to a 50% chance or some other percentile based on whether one parent is more present/active in the upbringing than the other.
Acrobaticon this is an ongoing discussion within the Jungian Analytical Psychology community. I have invented algorithms that would potentially answer these questions. However, the platform with which I need to deploy them has yet to be developed. But currently , type manifesting is being treated the same as how handedness manifests.
Super interesting. I'm intrigued. Kind of like Howard Stark, in Iron Man 2, being limited by the technology of his time ;) I'm subscribed to your channel now; very informative content and I eagerly await additional instalments.
Acrobaticon thank you for your support, it is appreciated.
Wouldn't our life experiences alter this as well? Like someone who is INTP like me with cptsd?
Ooh interesting video!
ESFP-INTJ-ISFJ-ENTP
After I took the test, before finding this channel, I binged a few "INTJ" centered videos. There was a young woman who said something like "I'm INTJ, except when I watch sad movies, then I become a little INFJ." I obviously didn't understand the nuances at the time, but I thought it sounded ridiculous.
I like the final message
Hey C.S. Joseph, your videos are awesome!! Thanks for informing us on such important 'life' topics :)
I have a question related to your video (and I'm providing some background info first, so bear with me!)
So there are 4 possible ‘mindset’ combinations:
INTJ-ENTP-ESFP-ISFJ
ENTJ-INTP-ISFP-ESFJ
ISTP-ESTJ-ENFJ-INFP
ESTP-ISTJ-INFJ-ENFP
(with 4 possible permutations per combination, which gives us the 16 types)
What’s interesting is that, when you look at the temperaments (guardian-G, artisan-A, intellectual, idealist), each mindset has one temperament that is NOT represented.
INTJ-ENTP-ESFP-ISFJ (G + A + 2 x Intellectual) - No Idealist
ENTJ-INTP-ISFP-ESFJ (G + A + 2 x Intellectual) - No Idealist
ISTP-ESTJ-ENFJ-INFP (G + A + 2 x Idealist) - No Intellectual
ESTP-ISTJ-INFJ-ENFP (G + A + 2 x Idealist) - No Intellectual
Any thoughts on why this is?
A related observation/thought…if the Intellectuals and Idealists were categorized as NJ/NP instead of NT/NF, this would be consistent with the way Guardians and Artisans are categorized (with a J/P), and also it would result in each of the temperaments being represented in each of the mindsets (making us more 'balanced')…so from a consistency/logic standpoint it would make more sense (and as I’m typing this I just remembered you mentioning in one of your videos that INFJ’s can almost be considered as a Thinker or Intellectual…what if INFJ (and ENFJ) are indeed miscategorized??) Of course, we are talking about (human) nature here, which can be highly illogical, so the patterns I’m looking for may not even be real!
Let me know what you think or if my logic is off...
Thanks!!
your logic is good but the point of the type grid is to provide this disparity.
I think that strong (Ne) types are more likely to understand (and put into practice) the individual pieces of information that depth psychology is made up of. It's really important for the future that Initiatives find ways to effectively communicate these concepts to the rest of the (Se) world.
So far the best way I can come up with is to make it about "saving the country" or "save your future" instead of "save the future."
maybe this is obvious to everyone but me but I think it's important to discuss.
- Obvious INTP out.
Aye, it is important.
Nice work and explanations! :D
Damn, ENTPs are great, I’m lowkey being mind blown as he talks nonchalantly to pick an example when he related Martin Luther King sin quote to superego then talked about what enlightenment is- btw INTJ here
Dude ! Great work! Really appreciate you. Can't wait for you to decipher new Joker movie after 4th oct. 😉
First, of, kudos to you, this channel and your video's are easily the best on youtube, keep it up! Question: what is the difference between the subconcious and the unconsious?
Ario - the subconscious is the part of the mind that people are tryin to be more like or become, the unconscious is where a person’s immaturity exists.
Cool Thanks.
Thank you. This helped clarify for me.
17:18 see this guy turn into THANOS! LOL 😂😂😂
This is just amazing.
I really appreciate your channel.
Thanks Chase, very informative. Still, I need to solve an important question regarding the four sides of the mind, which I haven't solved in this or other of your videos: PLEASE explain where within the mind do the subconscious and unconscious are? When do they become activated? Which is deeper within? How are they diffrent? Is one more powerful/useful than the other? THANK YOU SO MUCH. Gabriel (44 y/o, male, spanish speaker INTP) ;)
watch season 16 playlist for the answers to your questions
17:52 powerful!
Much respect for you with your insights on the four sides of the mind! How did you discover that this was true? I have a burning question. I am an INFP, but it looks like my subconscious is ISTJ. I think there is a reason for that. It is hard for me to extrovert because I struggle with a physical condition that makes me really tired a lot (and reaching out to other people requires A LOT of energy). But, often I have to use that practical part of me at work and to get things done that are my responsibilities, I have to use TE and SI. How does that work that I appear to be still introverting when I go into my practical subconscious to try to do my (extremely awfully boring) job? Note: my mind wanders frequently onto things I ACTUALLY WANT to think about, but I FI VALUE being a good worker, so I keep trying to pull myself back into getting the job done.
Finally!! I found what I was looking for!!!
. . . Until the 16 minute mark!!!
ISTJ
Thanks ❤️ really helpful u little changing people's life and that's amazing keep up
I'm an INFP and honestly I think I have pretty good spacial awareness when I move through my environment in a conscious way, but I do tend to lose track of time a lot or procrastinate for too long when I don't set deadlines. My brain will easily get distracted by what I'm passionate towards and almost block out my responsibilities if I don't set clear goals for myself to complete. Not to mention, I have a hard time staying organized. Anyone else relate?
Now I no why that time I took acid I was in a room having a conversation with myself in four parts of the room, moving around and replying.
