❓How to accurately find your type:
1. Study the cognitive functions (links in description of this video and below).
2. Consult people who know you well, in order to establish your actual tendencies without your own confirmation bias.
3. Bonus step: consider signing up for Typing sessions, or follow accounts that facilitate understanding of Type and the functions.
Remember, each of the 4 letters of your type do not operate on a stand-alone spectrum with their opposite. It’s not about *clocking over* from a “J” to a “P” by 1%; as all four of an ENFP’s cognitive functions are completely different from an ENFJ’s, and that distinction is important. We each use a Sensing, Intuiting, Thinking and Feeling function, just in different orders, based on our natural subconscious preferences. What I mean by “preferences” is that cognitive functions account for where our attention goes as a first point of reference most of the time (do we first pay attention to what the sense data is telling us, or are we first paying attention to the abstract implications of the sense data? Each type can look at both, just with different tendencies as to what comes first). Therefore, cognitive functions (and MBTI) are not, in essence, behaviour. They are measuring something different from merely outwardly-presented “personality”.
If we use MBTI, it is important to learn about the cognitive functions, so as not to box ourselves in or subconsciously limit ourselves/others. Understanding Type can help us understand and love others better in their natural cognitive tendencies, rather than trying to change them.

sadly it seems like there's not a lot of people who know me well? Or they just hear/see what I try to portray myself as and hence they form similar perceptions about me as how I think about myself? 🤷♀️
1) thanks for tge tips
2) I litterly see this live and see Scenic Fights back to back😂
4. Read the book "Remodeling The Mind: Personality In Balance".
I may just be shilling for my friend but it really is a good handy resource chock full of newer neuroscience and helpful INFP-style analogies. If your type never "clicked" before, her descriptions of the functions are likely to make you recognize yourself in the ones that apply to you.
Thank you so much Kristin! I really appreciate this!
Thank you for this! Just wanted to say, if you ever offered typing sessions, I would be interested :)
The way 16personalities portrays intuitives as smart and sensors as dumb by asking questions like "Are your thoughts complex or simple?". Of course everyone's gonna be mistyped as an intuitive then because no one wants to see their own brain as "simple"
Agreed, sensors are just as intelligent as inuitives, they just simply rely on their external surroundings than on internal theories.
makes sense why i get typed as infj
My brain is pretty simple and I like it. I don't have unwanted thought or anything
EXACTLY
@@paulo_9423 oh my god thisss. I don't really know why people put so much emphasis on the N/S part when both are equally capable but just execute it differently. Don't know if this has got something to do with me being an isfp, but I still really like how I don't think much (that sounds really bad lol, of course when the time comes when it's required to thoroughly think ofc I'd try harder). I enjoy it when it's simple because I get to learn more when I execute or experience something myself. I'm definitely aware I'm not that smart but I'm very much satisfied with my current abilities and wouldn't trade it for another 👁️👁️
Average intuitive-sensor question:
Which one are you must likely to ask?
A) What is the meaning of life?
B) What is for dinner?
Funny that this one joke question sent me down the "it depends" rabbit hole, since I have asked both these questions clearly my likelihood of doing so for either is 100%, if we are to alter it slightly so most likely is read as most often then it would depend on factors like do I have someone who commonly makes dinner for me? have I repeatedly encountered dismissive responses when trying to engage in abstract discussions? Do I actually care when form of food I will be eating? Have I learned that asking about trivial things is the accepted behaviour to put people at ease?
So whilst a discussion on what the meaning of life or if life has a meaning seems much more interesting, what is for dinner? would come up much more often.
@@KarlJeager IT WAS A JOKE KARL, IT WAS A JOKE
16p is actually just another "Big 5" test:
E vs I = extraversion
N vs S = openness to new experiences
T vs F = agreeableness
J vs P = conscientiousness
Assertive vs Turbulent = neuroticism
That's why as a consequence someone who is open to new experiences can get an "N" type, but actually be a XSXX. Just an example.
Yeah I got INTJ-T on 16P which means I’m RLOEI, but my actual mbti type is ISFP
right like they made a big 5 test and called it MBTI
I always get ENTP and that’s because I’m SLUEI. In reality I’m probably an ESTP
That's what I was thinking. I'm RLOEI or RLOAI and I've always got INTJ-T and INFJ-T on 16 personalities test, but I'm actually an INTP who tries to be organized and empathetic.
I was bored so I did the correlation between MBTI letters and Big 5 letters.
BIG 5 / MBTI
S - E
R - I
N - S
I - N
A - F
E - T
O - J
U - P
L - Turbulent
C - assertive
"You enjoy watching people argue" is so vague...
Do I like watching people fight and shout at each other? No.
Do I like watching people engage in respectful debate that helps me develop my understanding of different perspectives? Absolutely.
The most accurate test has spoken. Kristin is actually an ENFP.
I agree with you on that
@@moriyahviera6444I think they were joking, I think she knows her own type, as she knows the cognitive functions well, and she seems like an ESFP, ENFPs are often more introverted.
Almost every test I have ever taken said INTJ, but after learning about the cognitive functions I’m pretty sure I’m an ISTJ (I could also be an INFP, but I highly doubt it). It frustrates me how ISTJs are stereotypically perceived as “common”, “boring”, “too strict”, and “close-minded”, almost as if we are two-dimensional. I’m an artist who uses my Ne frequently and likes to explore my own identity through Fi - but it seems like most tests only focus on the ISTJs’ Te and Si, making us seem incapable of being creative or open to new ideas or abstract thoughts. I’m tired of hearing people say they “hate ISTJs” or “find ISTJs extremely uninteresting”, ugh.
Thank you for this, Kristin. You make me feel a bit more welcome in the MBTI community despite of all the people reminding me that I’m a “stupid sensor”.
My ISTJ dad was an electrical engineer and he's very intelligent and has an excellent memory and can be somewhat creative. He was a little strict though I didn't mind as an ESTJ, and he's gotten better at being open to other people's ideas and he lets his kids make our own decisions of course because we're adults. ISTJ is a common type but it's not like they're in the majority.
so many people in the MBTI community just think sensor = dumb. i know a lot of ESFPs, ISTJs, and ESTJs in my life. they're super fun to be around, are very intelligent, and also diligent. it's not a bad thing to be a sensor rather than an intuitive, just as it's not a bad thing to have any other letter over the other.
It's so cool that you take a stand with your Christianity, even though it seemed to be different than you typical ESFP self! It's great to see Christians on UA-cam not afraid to say who they are even though some might consider it to be close-minded. You are awesome and one of my favorite UA-camrs!
My friend who is 100% INFP (like down to all the stereotypes and everything! It's hilarious!) took the test and she has gotten, ESFP, ENFP, and I can't remember the last one... She likes people so probably why she kept getting and "E..."
P.S. I'm and ENFJ...
"She likes people so probably why she keeps getting E" haha oh my lord that's so cute
Typical sheep mentality of the Fe user, well done
Sometimes I wonder what're her thoughts on...idk gay people
@@rugma1696 prob respect and kindness but not support🤷🏽♀️
@@Notjust-T "I respect black people but I don't support them"
I’m an INTJ, and the test gave me INFP and INFJ. The results described INFPs and INFJs as creative, with deep emotions, and daydream-y. That really reasonated with me (as I’m high in Fi and an Ni-dom) so I thought I was one of these types for the longest time lol.
you're probably an Ni-Fi jumper (ops)
literally same as an intj I typed myself as infp for the longest time
I am an INTJ however the test gave me INFJ many times and I was convinced that I was an INFJ
I’m an ENTJ, but that test had me convinced I’m an ENFJ because I have a high emotional intelligence and it made it sound like ENTJs are horrible with people and only can offend and don’t care what anyone else thinks. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I’m an INFP and the official MBTI I took in college said I was an INTJ because that’s how I perceived myself. I value logic, but I tend to make decisions based on feelings. Plus I’m definitely Ne-Si and not Ni-Se; at its worst, Se seems reckless and Ni seems manipulative (obviously this isn’t true for everyone with these functions, just like everyone with Si doesn’t have a stick up their butt)
This gotta be the most thoroughly thought through analysis of the 16 personality test which proofs again that Se-Doms are highly capable of doing deep dives and picking apart concepts on an abstract manner. ✊😄
And, Kristin, you have no idea how mich that helps me confirming which functions are definitely higher up in my stack (unless I'm biased, but still). 👌❤️
Oh my, am I that early? 🧐🤣
Thanks, Simone! Very glad you got something out of it 😁
Wave :)
the problem isnt se-doms. the problem is se-doms who think they're better than everyone because they "can live life". kristin most definitely doesn't belong in this category.
yeah my brother is an estp and i'm still in trauma
@@elypelowski5670 hey!
Me taking this test:
"Why is this so VAGUE?"
"What does that even MEANN?"
"That is a MASSIVE oversimplification."
"But that could be interpreted in so many different ways!"
"IT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT, IT ALWAYS DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT"
"But that could mean so many different things!"
"That behaviour could come from so many different sources!"
"THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKSSSS"

Don't rule out the possibility that sometimes some possibilities can be ruled out.
@@rickandrygel913 aaaaAaaaAaAAAA
@@polkadot9505 Mwahahahahaaa
I had similar issues when I was starting to dive into the tests.
They are not made for me they are made for everyone.
It is generalized. That's why they are so vague. Don't take them personally and don't take them literally. Every question/statement is a symbolic representation. So look at it from the point of others. When such a scenario shows up in movies, stories, or conversations, what does it references to?
"You are very sentimental." - Usually that references being emotional about things (emotions/values). Like being sentimental about an old cooking pan - because that's what my grandma used to cook pancakes when I was visiting here.
In that context, I would strongly disagree.
But that doesn't mean I'm not sentimental, I'm sentimental about experiences (memories) I have memories I will never let go of, but the statement/question is not based on my specificly selective sentiment.
The second approach I use for tests that ask if I would like to do this or that.
I imagine doing it maybe for a day or week, not diving deep into it and seeing all aspects of that scenario.
"Would you like to work as a librarian" - For a day, yea sounds fun. If I go into it deeper. Then I would see people coming in asking questions, leaving books around, damaging them, Opening and closing times. The more I create scenario-based on reality, how would it look like in a long run. The answer would be - Ok, maybe if I'm bored.
Of course, there is the part that suggests of defence mechanism that questions every statement/question and tries to interpolate in your way just to make you right and them wrong. (Double standarts) But that's if you understand the question/statement, to begin with.
-INTP
"same" - Ti-Ne
Yep, ironically 16p is the most well known yet it is the worst mbti test. I asked my 3 friends to take 16p test just for fun. And guess what, all of them got INFP while I'm pretty sure they aren't. My guess they are INFJ, ISFJ, INTP. My INFJ brother too got INFP back then. And myself as an ENTP got INFJ
I'm an entp too, and just for fun I do this test every couple of months to see what it gives me, to this test I'm a INFP, ISFP, INTP and ISTP lol
Cognitive Personality Theory has some excellent content pertaining to why ENTPs often mistype as INFJs, (at least according to CPT's understanding of Jungian typology).
fr so many people are infj and intj mistypes and think they're special for being the rarest type lol
INFP is the biggest mistype you'll get from this test. At least, in my experience, everyone is an INFP lmao. It's easy for most to agree with statements like "you're shy, creative, a good person, and lazy." A bastardization of the cognitive functions.
@@paulssyt I got ISTP INTJ ENFP but mostly INFJ. It's actually common for ENxP to identify as ambivert due tu Ne dominant function. No wonder we mostly got Ixxx result lol
I noticed sensors often mistype as intuitives, but intuitives almost never mistype as sensors. So if you get a sensing type in 16p, I think it's safe to say your actual type is most definitely xSxx at the very least
im a living proof that i was an intuitive who got mistyped as a sensor
Brett Cooper from the Daily Wire took it and got ESTJ and she's probably an ENTJ
@@sarahberknerit’s so rare to see others who watch Brett Cooper in the wild lmao
When I took the test it told me I was 92% sensing.
I got around 50/50 but intuitive slightly more @luckyshaye
My family and I took this test as a fun thing to do one afternoon for the heck of it. (This was way before I or anyone I knew, understood mbti to any degree.) It ended up being more accurate than it normally would, because figuring out the answers turned into a group effort. (Some had to be badgered into the "more accurate" answer😋) All but one got their actual personality right, and we ended up with an Se verses literally any other function discussion, when I asked how, "Being prone to risky behavior for the ISTP" is a bad thing.
Ah, the beauty of getting ripped by loved ones as they correct our perception of ourselves. 😆
My istp friend got infp, my isfj mother got infj, and my isfp brother got infp.
In my opinion, a lot of people get infp because the letters in general are the most “normal”. Let me explain:
Usually the questions in the test are like “do you like spending time alone?” And as the result is a %, even extroverted people aren’t extremely extroverted, that’s why some of them are mistyped as introverts.
The N vs S in the test is basically represented as “are you creative and smart, or are you dumb?” (Which I think is disrespectful towards sensors because they aren’t dumb) anyway, and no one likes to say they are dumb, that’s why a lot of sensors get mistyped as intuitives.
The F vs T is represented as “are you nice or are you mean?” Considering thinkers as “mean” just because they follow logic, and feelers being dumbasses who aren’t clever (PLEASE STOP BECAUSE FEELERS ARE AS CLEVER AS THINKERS AND THINKERS HAVE FEELINGS TOO). So, as thinkers aren’t mean, they get mistyped as feelers.
And the last one, which I think isn’t as visible as the rest, P vs J. Ok so come on. I’m sure you now a lot of “messy” people. You know, that person who says they room isn’t tidy because there’s a book out of its place. Well so even those people consider themselves messy. And as the P vs J thing is represented as “are you organized?” In the test, most people get perceiver.
This is my opinion though, and I’m not an expert. Also I have to say I’m an Infp and got typed as infp every single time i did the test. I think this is because of my strong ideals or something like that idk…
Very well said. This sensor vs intuitive thing is quite offensive as well, and the questions often in all those types of quizzes make you give biased answers. Or the fact you don't "wonder why humans exist" in specific doesn't mean you are not going philosophical about a hundred other things.
And about the last one you pointed out, if that P doesn't live with a bunch of Js to see the difference or having us nagging them about the mess or compare our ability to stick into schedule, they probably won't see themselves as messy.
@@CineShinya You are right as well… I live in a family full of judgers and that is what made me realize how messy I am…
@@dibujos._.infinitos3436 That sounds a bit sad...well...if it makes you feel any better my brother is an utter mess but we still love him dearly and I am sure your family feels the same and appreciate you for your other virtues and talents that overcome any messiness ☺️
@@CineShinya oooh thank you! It’s okay anyway, they are used to it
Thank you for this funny video. Anyway, 16P is not the MBTI. They do not use cognitive functions. It is not even allowed to mention them on their site and forums. They basically stated that they are a reworked Big Five with the A/T scale added to measure neuroticism. I do not hate 16P as I am a member on their site, but it is quite annoying when it is cited as the MBTI. Like when it is mentioned somewhere that some K-pop members have taken the MBTI, but in reality it was 16P. What is interesting, is that they also use the four temperaments from Keirsey. They just renamed them: Sentinels (Guardians), Explorers (Artisans), Diplomats (Idealists) and Analysts (Rationals).
I love the way she dug into the ambiguity in the questions, and the reality of skewing them based on the type of the person writing the question! Not only have I noticed result skew based on the apparent personality of test question writers, but when i've tried the online tests, i've noticed that if I take the same test more than once the answer many times flips based on my interpretation of the questions used (especially my first and last letter). Had to use the descriptions in the back of the MTBI book I first used to decide with fit best when I originally tried it (not discovering the cognitive functions in any great detail until much later). Seeing her reaction when she says she hasn't created a personality test that over a million people have used piques my interest as to what a Dear Kristin personality test would look like (pinned comment above in mind too) :)
Tests like this are so unhelpful. The question about regularly making friends I would answer no because the people I regularly meet and chat with I don't consider friends. The question about having a backup plan for a backup plan I would answer yes because I always have 3 escape routes planned from my house. Nothing to do with cognition and everything to do with not feeling safe.
I'm an ENFP, and this test has given me ENTP, INTP, even INTJ once. I have no idea where the J came from that day, because I'm pretty sure that an INTJ will actually faint at how I absolutely suck at sticking to and realistically planning out future plans. maybe the sight of my room too
I have an INTJ friend who rolls their eyes so much at my lack of organisation. And yet when I first took the test I got a J result (INFJ) because I both thought I was organised and (because of external influences in my life not to do with typology) I was very organised in year 9 but it’s not my natural tendency, i Try to be, I like the idea of to do lists and schedules BUT in practice it does not work for me. Also people pleasing made me almost become hyper organised but now I’m struggling when there is a lot more to organise and I don’t know how and it’s not what I naturally want (younger me was very much in Te, and using too much of it made me so stressed)- ENFP
Entp makes sense, though. Atleast they got the ne right?
im an intj with an enfp brother. sometimes i close my eyes when i walk past his room.😭
I'm an INTJ, and my best friend is an ENFP. If I want him somewhere at 10, then I just tell him to come at 9, and then he'll actually be on time for once (accidentally).
At 16:00, you hit the nail on the head. I took this same test and got ENTP as my result even though I am definitely an ENTJ because of questions like these. With Si as my weakest function, I am bad at keeping consistent micro routines from day to day but at a big picture level, I’m very organized. They think they are testing for J vs. P with questions like these, but they are actually testing for Si.
Yeah this test is more like a big five test instead of mbti test
Same with my sister, she got INTP and I thought she was INTP because she really doesn't plan real-world details well, but she's INTJ.
I took multiple mbti tests over the course of 2 years and really got into cognitive functions, I got infp every time, so it's safe to say i have no doubts. the only thing i don't relate to are the infp stereotypes, those drive me nuts
Exactly the same for me, but INTP.
@@Bozpot I noticed that infp/intp/intj especially tend to have consistent results, and my theory on why that is is because of our dom functions. Fi/Ti tends to be introspective. people need to understand that you have to be as honest as possible when answering those questions, which requeries a bit of self-awareness. also, obviously if you answer them based on your current mood, ofc you're not going to get consistent results. i think some people don't get what the test is all about, so they call it bs.
@@ana-zp8fv Definitely. It seems obvious that people should consider over all trends in their mindset/behaviour/thought processes rather than current mood or preoccupations when answering the questions; but maybe it's not obvious to everybody.
I hate the infp stereotype so much, people perceive them as dumb nerds, also being an absolute softie introverted person who takes everything personally. In reality, the "soft" ones can be thinkers, the "logical" ones can be feelers. They have strong Fi and their own values, yes, but that doesn't make them overly emotional.
Also the logical nerd genius intp stereotype doesn't make sense on every intp. That doesn't make every single of them socially awkward. Although I'm indeed a socially awkward intp. mbti ain't a dichotomy, personalities vary in every single individual.
this is perfect Kristen. voicing the many pitfalls and debunking stereotypes like a pro. at last a video I can point people to to explain this point. so many mistypings out there because of what you've discussed here. even when people are typing each other they still use stereotypes and behaviour based biases. every one e of your videos is either super concise and helpful or absolutely side-splittingly hilarious. what a combo! ❤
I think 16 Personalities is one of the worst Myers-Brigg/Jungian personality tests out there, because, as you said, it's actually a Big 5 test. It definitely skews towards Intuition (I don't think I've ever seen someone get an Sensor result). That being said, I do think tests can be a good way to get introduced to the 16 Types, just because if a test gives someone a (or as some do, multiple) possible type(s) it gives people a place to start instead of overwhelming them with 16 types and eight functions right off the bat. I was actually introduced to 16 types because I had to take the official Myers-Brigg test for a college class. Granted my professor knew nothing about the functions and literally said "you can change personality types, even from one day to another" (no, that's your mood and/or the situation or possibly some sort of mental disorder), so it wasn't the best intro. However, it gave me a foundation to continue researching it later on down the road and it turned out to be correct (INTJ). So, viewed as a intro, tests have value, but they shouldn't be accepted without other confirmation.
Well, I do, because my Si trumps absolutely everything (both preference wise and skills wise)
Except my results on 16P were like 50% ISTP (my Se isn't really that great hello?), 30% ISTJ, 10% ISFJ, and the other time I forgot (INTJ?)
Every single other tests from *everywhere* else (including the one I did in high school without knowing what MBTI was) typed me as ISTJ.
I did get S (specifically ISTP) which is correct for me
That test told me I was 92% sensing.
Here's the full cipher to decode 16Personalies test into the Big Five/OCEAN model that it's based on; if anyone is curious. I/E = Extraversion. N/S = Openness. T/F = Agreeableness. P/J = Conscientiousness. A/T = Neuroticism.
Totally relate to the impact of having faith, and how that has skewed the way my cognitive functions play out …
ESTP here, brought up in a conservative Christian family, military father, both parents introverted types, and I now have Christian faith of my own, all means I dodge some (but only some) of the estp stereotypes …
I did watch this speed up and was doing something else while it was playing - in natural estp fashion - but loved the unpacking of each question and all the variables that could effect outcome !
16P isn’t based on cognitive functions it uses the Big 5 theory but combines it with the myers-briggs types. The first time I got INFJ, second I got ENFP- but I got into typology because I did the 16p test (through writing a book I discovered it- well planning it that novel idea quickly bro boring and I moved on and it faded like all my other project ideas) and I felt that the INFJ answer didn’t really fit me , so read EVERY description of the types on there and got to ENFP and realised it fit the most. Then I was like ok I wanna learn everything about this and my type (this was also lockdown had a whole lot of time on my hands).
The J result was screwed by questions like “I enjoy making to do lists and plans”- which I mostly agreed to because I LOVE the idea of making them and making them, USING them is a whole other story making the list is fulfilling enough. Which at the time I thought scribbling on a post it note was a to do list- I have since been informed m is not a “proper list”.
For an I result- It was likely because the first time I took it was in lockdown and I have never really been invited to parties and stuff and also going to a party after a busy week would DRAIN ME, because it’s a lot in the sensory world. However inviting friends over and watching a film together and analysing it (namely my INTP and ISTP friend who has quite strong Ni) or Reading a book or just straight up day dreaming in my room and acting it out or a game like D&D would be how I recharge. 1-2-1 conversations with friends where we go all over the place and I can really be in Ne with (dive into the meta verse) 100% would be my natural way of recharging. I do also recharge alone but I’m still interacting with something external but not in the tangible world because I use Ne as my dominant function. But in my head I’m interacting with all these things, and I’m not really alone. Also the fact I do not tend to be drawn to busy bustling atmospheres because it’s too overwhelming and I need to retreat into my imagination.
I totally agree on making vs actually following and completing lists. Making them is easy and makes you feel good, until you realize you forgot something or you run out of time and don't finish it all.
I don't get the whole organized/not messy=judging thing generally. There's different contexts: your time, your work/projects, your physical space, your money, etc. You can be organized in one area, but not another. That's why not specifying the context around the question can lead to skewed answers, as Kristin said in the video. Other than Si, what functions would perceived messiness even be tied to?
I love the way you know your self and love your self, that’s very inspiring ❤
This test mistyped me as an INFJ because I'm supposedly too "organized" to be a P type. Learning about cognitive functions, I learned I'm an INFP. My mind goes inward to evaluate my feelings before going outward to try and read others.
Similar thing happened to me! Funny enough, it wasn't 16personalities but learning about cognitive functions that made me truly know I was an INFP. Thanks a lot for the existential crises, 16p.
Seeing that you, as an ESFP, typed as an ENFP, makes me question if the test gave me an accurate result with INFP. And I must say, as an INFP, this uncertainty is stressful.
But seriously all this time I thought the website just used the letters as a "wrapping" of sorts to make the 16 types more palatable and easy to understand. It genuinely seems to me that they type based on the letters rather than the functions.
Edit: The first part is a joke. I know I'm an INFP and I'm not stressed about it. lol
I think it's almost impossible for an INFP not to ruminate over a personality test result. I myself, when I heard the MBTI community looks askance at 16 Personalities, read more about my result, read more about the other types, learned about the functions, questioned and re-questioned and soul-searched, and finally, after coming to INFP every time, accepted it.
You sound like an INFP
"It genuinely seems to me that they type based in the letters and not the cognitive functions". Yeah it's because they dont. They even claimed as such on their website: "We use the acronym format introduced by Myers-Briggs for its simplicity and convenience, with an extra letter to accommodate five rather than four scales. However, unlike Myers-Briggs or other theories based on the Jungian model, we have not incorporated Jungian concepts such as cognitive functions, or their prioritization. Jungian concepts are very difficult to measure and validate scientifically, so we’ve instead chosen to rework and rebalance the dimensions of personality called the BIG 5 personality traits, a model that dominates modern psychological and social research".
Basically they are a BIG 5 test, and not MBTI. They only use the MBTI "labels" for convenience.
Infp: gets infp result
Also infp: “but really though?”
I think I have done this test at some point, as well as some other online tests, and they always give me either INTP or INTJ. And reading descriptions of the types, yes, they sound very familiar, INTP a bit more but there's some resonance with INTJ as well.
Though when I took a further look at the cognitive functions, that established INTP as the type.
But let's say that the test would have to be really biased for me to not get INTx :)
But it is true that several questions here are quite vague or needing a bit more context, or such that the tester might interpret the questions wildly differently from the person doing the test...
And I'd imagine the background, the social environment can affect things, particularly the family: a NF growing up in NF family will probably have very different ideas about themselves (or normalcy) that a NF growing up in ST family...though I guess with age some things become a bit clearer, if in different social environments one always ends up acting in certain roles or doing certain things, some attachments to certain descriptions become a bit more evident ("I'm the one who does not make friends easily", "I'm the sentimental one" etc).
Oh well, I think these tests have their place to have at least a starting point, though it's probably good to try out more than one test, and maybe at different times...
(incidentally, I also got from the video that you have enough friends already, you don't want to be my friend😢)
I love that there is someone who loves Jesus just as much as MBTI (even more so)
I have struggled with that exact same problem in the test. I am an ENFP, meaning I use Fi. But my Christian morals and beliefs teach having servant heart, which leans much more toward Fe. Fe is not my natural tendency, but it is super important in the Bible. ❤️
I am Catholic Christian who is an ISTP, but 16P types me as ISFJ-A
This is foreshadowing! Kristin is gonna make a more accurate personality test!

To your question at 48:43 yes! A video about how the organization of the letters works would be very interesting!
Agreed with how Kristin ended it, the test may give us a shade (or often a pretty good truth) in which 16p we are. but best is to actually read up on your type and genuinely reflect on if that fits you, then move from there.
(LOVED THE ZELDA SONG AT THE END!) sorry for the shouting- INFJ
The analysis of each cognitive function while taking this test was very interesting as it explored different interpretations. Great job as always.
PS: Just out of curiosity of experiment once I made the test putting everything in neutral and if anyone is curious too, the result was ISFP XD.
And also out of curiosity I have been taking different tests and while I am clearly an ISFJ, I have also got INFJ and INTJ as results, which especially the last one is ironic as STEREOTYPICALLY my poor beloved INTJs are considered as the evil masterminds and ISFJs some kind of saints. Even if my personal belief is that often ISFJs can work like INTJs plotting from behind the scenes and make everything work according to our "evil" plan for the greater good, the work to be done properly and balance in our environment. 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is an excellent video, showing how differently these questions can be interpreted, and how purposefully vague they are. However, on the few times I've shared my interest in MBTI, I've suggested taking both 16Personalities and IDRLabs tests as an introduction to the subject as they approach the subject from different angles and together give a more comprehensive result. I know there are many other and better tests out there (some of which I have taken, including the official one), but when dealing with an interested (or uninterested!) novice, these two are the easiest to explain. For example, I persuaded my partner to take both tests, and he was typed as ISFJ by both - the result I had always suspected. After that I went into more detail about cognitive functions, why the tests are flawed, and what the result actually means. He is still most definitely an ISFJ.
For myself, I first took a test (no idea which one it was) in 2008. I was categorised as INTP, though I had no idea what that meant. A few years later I developed an interest in MBTI, and took several tests and also researched the functions indepth. I have continued to be typed as INTP (Turbulent, for 16P) and it fits the best for many reasons. I've often questioned the result (for example, I'm not the stereotypical emotionless robot. Though this is not really what being an INTP means, of course!), but have always come to the same conclusion: Ti/Fe makes more sense than any other combination.
It has also been my experience that Christian beliefs influence the answers to the MBTI questions and can therefore influence the personality type determined. I would even go one step further and say that the characteristics of the introverted cognitive functions in particular are also influenced by this. In the video, if I understood correctly, this theme sounded in relation to Fi and Christian morality. I think there is a lot to discover, especially in the areas of Fi and Ni.
What helped me a ton figuring out my exact type was to compare how each function stack reacts when exposed to too much stress.
I knew I was one of four types, but I couldn’t figure out which one, so I read about how each of their inferior function affected them during stress - and I related a lot more to one of those types than the three others.
Hope this helps someone :)
I been thinking o sellin psychological T-shirts w/ pix of Jung, Freud, Skinner, Meyers and Briggs (the Simon and Garfunkel of psychology) Sasz, Milgram and of course Kristin.
Can't wait to watch this! I've taken it and others plenty of times back when I thought it was rather trustworthy, usually it came out to INFP or ENFP, nowadays I'm quite certain I'm ENTP, my Fi is quasi nonexistent so yeah, don't know where I ever got the idea I were Fi
Dom or Aux 😅😆
maybe you should create an accurate test! i would love to take it!
I know that MBTI community doesn't like 16personalities test. I personally haven't studied that many people and their results to have an opinion of my own. I get the same result everywhere so I can't be an example either. But I know someone in real life who was working on implementing the website. :) Including algorithm. I don't know the details because it's obviously because NDA but I can assure you that one question doesn't asses only one thing. Your answer is analyzed in the context of other questions. That's why there are so many questions that may seem 'the same'. Because that's the key to get your cognitive functions to work. That's why the scale is there. Whole MBTI is about preference not one thing versus the other. So it must be interpreted as a whole. If I remember correctly the A and T is to distinguish how the cognitive functions will be expressing themselves. It is about behaviour but let's us look at people from a different angle and see that often we are not that different in the core we are just expressing it differntly.
In my family me, my mom, my sister, my brother, and my sister-in-law seem to have all gotten the incorrect test score, but it was only one letter off for everyone, except for me it was two letters off. And it shows how much percentage extraverted, sensing, etc. you are. So I don't think it measures the cognitive functions at all.
i'm also a Christian, and my beliefs definitely impact my answers and what i want to be
I’m either an INTP or an ENFJ. Hard to say. I strongly relate to both.
Do you always know what you want and you're responsible with it while everybody else isn't , or do you think everybody isn't responsible with what they want that you don't want to choose irresponsibly like them ? Are you initiating , like you enjoy being around people , fine but are you the one starting conversations and keeping others in the loop or do you want to receive it ? Are you informative or direct in your speech , I don't know how to explain this one but you know what dude , just watch cs joseph .
@@malakashraf2801 I honestly have zero fking clue what I am. I could be a damn walking schnitzel with pink caterpillar legs that poses as a banjo player on weekends for all I know. For my entire life I’ve kept to myself living inside a shell of crippling social anxiety and depression fueled by the anxiety that’s ruining my life. I have no social circles so I don’t know what type of people I like and no one who has any idea what type of person I am. My mom doesn’t even know who I am. I’m basically a waking ghost who died 3 years ago after I almost died from my own hand. There are days where I still ask myself if I really am still alive because most of the time I feel dead. I still feel so guilty. Never had a girlfriend or ever even said more than 3 sentences to a girl my age (I wish I was exaggerating). My 25th birthday is coming up next week and I still have no clue who I am, what I want to do with my life, if I can even do what I want to do with my life when and if I ever find that out. I decided today I want to get super fit in the next 6 months and get that job I wanted so I can get health insurance and actually afford a therapist to help sort out my problems but with my track record that’s probably not going to happen. Every time the negative thoughts of failure and not seeing progress just overwhelm me and I give up as usual. Going to the gym or biking are my usual go-to’s for working out but since there are other people there, what happens after a while is my stamina erodes and then I just give up. Nowadays I have carpel tunnel in my hands and I find my only relief is marijuana since the CBD reduces the inflammation and the THC alters my perception of the pain. That’s something new I tried which works well. I don’t want to take it. I want to quit but after about 1-2 weeks of not doing it the pain returns and it drives me insane like peanut butter stuck to the roof of my mouth and it’s constant. It feels like I have glass shards imbedded in my wrists and it makes my finger tips numb. It sucks because I can’t really get a mechanical engineering job with my masters degree that I had for over a year since basically every place does drug tests. I’m hoping that maybe working out will somehow fix the pain and I won’t need it anymore but who knows. It’s not like I could even pass an interview before I started doing drugs anyways since I applied for hundreds and got rejected from every interview due to “poor communication skills”. It’s something I’ve been working on my whole life but still am to shitty at to get an actual job in my major. Every rejection I get stings more than the last. I don’t know how much more I can take. I feel closer to snapping everyday.
In summary,
Need to quit weed and improve communication skills to get a good job,
Need to get a good job to get good medical insurance,
Need good medical insurance to get therapy and find solution to wrist pain,
Need to get therapy to improve communication skills and solution to wrist pin to quit weed.
Basically, it’s a circle I can’t get into. If I could accomplish just one task on that list then I could solve all my other problems on the list but I can’t seem to accomplish any of them without completing one. I’m trapped. I’m hoping that working out will get rid of the inflammation and give me just enough confidence to mask my shitty communication skills but that’s about the best I can do. If it doesn’t work out, I guess I’ll just have to jump off a bridge or something. It HAS to work or I’m done for. There is no hope left for me if it doesn’t work. I need to solve those problems to move on with my life of it’s just going all downhill from here. The longer I wait, the harder it gets.
@@BimmerWon so I am so sorry I really don't know what to say , it's basically like you , the poor communication thing resulting from fe inferior ( yes you're an intp , and I am an istp ) , I have been reading and thinking for a while but I just don't know what to do , I am so so sorry . If this helps anyhow I have similar problems too , I am a medical student but my ni child doesn't want that completely and I feel so unmotivated and I already failed some classes although I have been a good student my whole life and I really hate the disappointment and disrespect in my parents eyes , people change opinions and never remember what you did before ha . This is obviously easier than what you have , many people our age are screwing up and it seems to be increasing , I am not sure about any practical solution for you , like have you tried at least working in another less paying job , at least it's gonna take up time and you will feel less empty , why don't you force yourself to go out anywhere and just socialize , I know it's difficult , I am trying to do it right now , I go for walks or charity and i literally force myself to just spit a word out which could be so draining and can cause me slight troubles cause i don't know what type of person i am either ( fi demon , we will probably never know who we are and we usually go into self hatred phases , both intps and istps) and I don't know what type of people I need around so I end up getting hurt a lot but I realize that's what it takes and same goes for almost every other thing you try to do , have you tried watching Jordan Peterson, he's an intp too and he seems to talk mostly to people as if they all are + as I said it's been increasing for all types , he has been a good motivation for me and dude I know you are probably like "motivational speeches don't touch me" ( cause fi demon) I was like that too for the longest time and still , just try and try to deceive your brain it kinda works, at the end you will crash into the hard truth that the solution is self discipline , wish I could change that or find another solution for you and me but there isn't , I am so sorry . Also again , I recommend cs Joseph , I have not watched many of his intp lectures but I see a lot of intps saying they changed because of him , he really knows about the types and he touches you very very deep like no other and if you ever collect money book a session with him instead of therapy, he fill give you specific solutions that are designed for you in a sense instead of the common things all psychologists say , it's kinda expensive though as I hear cause I haven't got it yet ( will one day , I like his knowledge) , I am not advertising him , he doesn't know me .
@@BimmerWon plus you just had more than a 3-sentence-long conversation with a girl 5 years younger than you , congrats, that was not flirting though, dream on .
99.9% INTP. Dont give up.
I'm an ENFP, but this test has me as an INFP. This isn't the first online test that has done that. It's probably because I really value my time alone to think about all kinds of stuff and to work through things. I'm definitely Ne dom, though, no doubt in my mind.
Man, I wish I had you next to me when I was taking the tests, as I remember constantly saying, "I don't understand these questions!"
Also, I hope I'm not the only person watching this who was really grateful for the Zelda and Super Smash Bros. Brawl tunes being played very quietly in the background (We Sensors hear *everything*!)
I've taken this test like 5 times in my life. The only time I've gotten my type (INTP) is when one of my best friends (INFJ) was doing it for me lol
You have completely explained ALL the reasons why I never get an accurate result with these tests. Perception and just the way I understand the questions. Sometimes I don't even totally get the question and I tend to answer in the middle for most of them (not only for not understanding it, but also because I think of all the times said scenario has happened and have seen myself going in both directions depending on the situation and have a hard time deciding which is the "normal" go to).
Also, just random thought (and an example) on the question "You take great care not to make people look bad, even when it is completely their fault". This, to me, can be interpreted in SO many ways and there are SO many details to take into account. For example, while you were discussing this question I thought about "What if someone agrees because they perceive being "wrong" as bad so them pointing out a fault is their way of caring and making the person NOT look bad?".
This whole comment is Ne and Ti out of control, shuffling all the possibilities in advance and wanting to avoid giving the wrong answer for fear of being wrong rather than because you care about the question.
Or so I think.
@@yuiger9310 yup. Thats me 🤣
I actually never really thought of it as a fear of being wrong. That's interesting and might have to look more into it. Thanks.
As an Intp as well, I too struggled similarly while answering generalized questions like that, specially in the F vs T category. I've worked really hard on my Fe throughout my life to fit in but the rules are different for myself and the people for me. I want harmony and so think the feelings (of others) should be valued but personally, I'm against emotional decision making etc. Answering without specificity had me ticking somewhere middle, even though I kind of have clear views. Basically when your agreement with your own behaviour don't align but they ask your opinion.
And then there is always the hurdle of 'but if' scenarios.
Intp and Intj are known to retake the test multiple times, I wonder if this is also one of the reasons.
@@kcb_baebae5885 for sure. In terms of T vs F I also struggled for a while knowing the difference between my feelings and my personal logic. I very often mix the 2 somehow lol
@@o0ofatasyo0o Fi(31:52).
If you're not sure it's not Fi.
thank you so much for all the time, effort and thoughtfulness that you put into your videos! just discovered you and you're great :)
I thought 16 Personalities was all there was to personality types until recently. I typed as INFP pretty much every time I took the test, and I got ISFP once and INFJ a few times. I was usually near the middle with sensing/intuition and judging/perceiving, so I guess it's not surprising that I'm actually an ISFJ. Cognitive functions are so much more interesting and, you know, accurate. 😆
I got these types from the test:
2016 --> ISFJ
2018 --> ISFP
2021 --> INTJ
Now I'm confused 😂
A 51 minute long video of Kristin breaking down the 16 personalities test.
Sounds about right for an Se-dom!
been typed over and over as xntj and istj. i recently felt completely represented by intj 8w9 (8w9 explains why i was being mistyped as entj so much despite being a HUGE introvert). a long time ago i got intp i think. so mine always stayed similar, but its kind of crazy how many sources i had to use to figure it out especially since i didnt want to pay.
I'm an ESTJ and I got typed as istp at 19. Because I am shy and sometimes procrastinate. But the cognitive functions of an ESTJ definitely fit with me and I fit some of the stereotypes.
Also, I hated taking the test, and lacking Ni, my subconscious has nothing to do with it, I was very aware of the problems I had while taking it. Because there's not a right answer, I'm very good at taking tests when I know the answers. If I knew the answer to these questions I would know what my personality type is. Secondly, I'm hard on myself so that shows up in my answers, which I was aware of. Lastly as I said I did think I was an introvert because I was shy so the test thought I was 75% introverted and people in my family still think I'm introverted.
As an ENFP and ENTP mixture, she read my mind. I literally put the quieter place when I was taking this test.
I really enjoyed this, especially your analysis of all the ways our upbringing, experiences, and values influence our answers, especially as we all act differently in different environments. I literally had this discussion with my INTP friend (who introduced me to your channel, actually) about how our being Catholic influenced the answers, especially in the questions about valuing tradition and whether logic or feelings are more important. Also, I really appreciate how you are upfront and unapologetic about being a Christian, while not beating people over the head with it. I love your videos, Kristin--God bless!
Over the years, I've gotten different results from different tests (INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ), with the N/S usually sitting close to the 50% mark, so I guess they can go either way pretty much. That said, I do think the 3 results I normally get describe me pretty accurately as I can see aspects of myself in all 3 of these types, and I've noticed that my N/S and F/T results tend to stay closer to the middle which can alter the outcomes depending on how I choose to interpret the questions. The only one I get pretty much a full 100% on in every test I take is in me being an introvert (lol.)
Better off doing dichotomies manually than automatically(Testing). After all, it requires a lot of deliberate introspection to truly know whether a definition that fits the relevant dichotomy aligns with your general tendencies.
And the myers briggs type indicator testing tool is too easy to get mislead through
Wait a second - you‘re an english teacher?🤯 How did I miss this information. I wish I could visit your classes I‘m sure they are wholesome🥺
I immediately knew I was being tested in some way especially whenever they asked an introvert/extrovert question. So most my answers were dishonest. For this reason, I doubted my result. So I started watching youtube videos to see if I could relate to the type I was typed, and my doubts only grew more. So to make sure, I started watching videos and more mbti content so I could know my type. That's how my mbti journey started. Then gradually I started watching more videos and finally came across yours. Your skits and other contents really helped me learn more about mbti. This helped me understand myself and others a little. I still feel like there is a possibility that I typed myself wrong, and that I was a different type all long, but now instead of obsessing over thinking about the possibilities and worrying about it, I am slowly starting to actually understand mbti and enjoying the learning process. I really enjoy your fi days videos, your skits and other contents like typing teas etc. I love your analysis and the knowledge you share and i always find myself anticipating for your next video! Love you loads ❤
I'd rather see you do the Big 5/OCEAN test.
Epic video. Would like to see a video that talks about how to decode your four letter type in order to determine which cognitive functions you use.
One thing that helps with the paper & pencil versions of these tests that I've taken in the past is that they are much longer than these online ones. They ask a lot of questions, some of which are likely getting at the same personality type aspect, but are worded in very different ways. That way, the test taker is less likely to guess what answer they 'ought' to give based on what they think they want their result to be or what they think a 'good person' or their 'ideal self' would say. They keep the online ones short so people will finish the test on their phone, tablet etc. The problem with this, of course, is like you say - the questions are sometimes vague and difficult to interpret in the way that maybe the test writer intended.
I've taken several different forms of tests online and on paper over the years since I was in college. I've either tested out as INTJ or INFJ in these. Because it isn't always consistently one or the other certainly reveals a weakness in the tests. At least they get into the general ballpark of what they might be. I've not gotten E, S, or P results in the 26 years that I've taken these tests in college, at jobs, or for fun. So, at least they are sort of consistent.
Maybe it's because I've always been someone who can objectively evaluate things, people and even myself. I don't test as an INxJ because I want to be that sort of person, but because I realize that it's how I really am. Sometimes I do wish that I was more outgoing, less socially awkward, more able to stay in the moment, more genuinely caring about others' feelings, etc. I don't see my true self as being an 'ideal', or 'perfect' person. I know what society says I 'should' say in response to these questions, but I put down how I actually think or feel about what the question is asking instead, even if my answer makes me look like a 'bad' person. I know that how we actually behave in public is not really the same as what we are thinking, so I answer these tests with how I instinctively, or initially think about situations, things, people - not with how I consciously behave in order to get along in society.
I have asked the people who know me best - my parents, sibling, wife, cousins, (I would say 'long-time friends, but I don't have any, just acquaintances), etc. about how they've perceived me over the years. Then, I compared what they've said with the descriptions of the MBTI types. The result of this comparison has led me back to INTJ every time.
Great job on the commenting! I learned so many interesting little facts along the way, especially about intuition vs sensing!
very interesting how you break down answers. I would like to see more vids like this.
Congrats on switching types!
It's been an emotional few days. Thanks Joe. 🙏
coming from an INTJ who majored in psychology in college, i KNOW that the 16 personalities test ABSOLUTELY IS HARDLY an ACTUAL MBTI test. (i see that you specified this a little later in the video now. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) )
NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
the 16 personalities test IS a POP MBTI and HARDLY, BARELY based on actual jungian or myers-briggs typology. instead, it is more based on the big five strata. again, GREAT JOB identifying that in the video.
sure, itll give you a rough estimate of your type but; it ABSOLUTELY IS HARDLY a guide for more minute development one might wish to make regarding their character. GREAT CALL on suggesting one work specifically on their COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS (because ALL behavior IS ultimately cognitively rooted) @ the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- (again), INTJ
I loved how you explained it!
What does being an INTJ has to do with your thoughts about this?
@Dr Zaydan
while we may more easily get overwhelmed by vast amounts of information coming to us at once, NONE are more PENETRATINGLY PERCEPTIVE than us INTJs are.
ABSOLUTELY.
FOR SURE.
THATS ALL. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
This test gave me ISTJ at the beginning of my journey with mbti. I was so confused when every single other one told me I'm ENTP cause only T stayed the same. This inconsistency actually made me deep dive into personality types
This test is hot garbage. I've taken it a few times, and I got N types each time. I've never gotten ISFP, and I am definitely an ISFP.
ISFPs are the most intuitive sensor
I’m an ISTJ but the first two times I did that test I got ISFJ
Oh, goodness. The museum one embodies all that’s wrong with online tests such as 16 personalities. 😒
For what it’s worth though, I don’t think that they’re all bad. They can be a nice, fun introduction into MBTI. Most (if not all) of us who got into it, started with the tests first. So, they have to be doing something right.
I've actually achieved getting in the absolute middle when it came to this test. A lot of the questions I've left in neutral since I always find myself thinking; 'Are these mutually exclusive?', 'Can't I happen to be both in any situation?' - That was how generalized and vague the questions seemed to be. Even though I might've been interpreting wrong, the questions still didn't provide any corrections for however thought process we may have behind the questions, they just kept it highly vague so the test-takers were left in so many unsatisfied interpretations.
I used to be obsessed with this test. For me (INTP), two of INFP friends, my INTP friend, my ISFP friend, and my ISFJ friend, the test was pretty accurate. But my INFJ mistyped as an ISFP and my other INFP friend mistyped as an ISTP. So yeah, it’s very hit or miss. I only got my friends’ types after looking at their cognitive functions. I contemplated whether my ISFP friend was an ISFJ for a while and only realized that my INFJ friend has dominant Ni after taking a quiz and looking back on her actions and general personality. For my INFP friend, the ISTP result was WAY off. She once went out in a THUNDERSTORM simply because she “loves the rain”. She can be ruthless about her revenge, so I also contemplated her being an INTP. But she obviously has dominant Fi, so yeah. INFP it is :) I myself spent hours studying whether or not I’m an INTJ or ENTJ because I relate a lot to INTJ/ENTJ characters in stories and I have good Ni Fi and Te (when it comes to my goals, not day-to-day activities). But Fe is the function that pops up when I least expect it and I have a complete lack of Se, so INTP it is
Watching Kristin's videos and choosing which character is most like you is the most accurate version of the Meyers Briggs test.
10:23 Exactly. I hate schedules and lists, but in work mode, I need a comprehensive manual that I can refer and follow, and my process is quite linear. I care about people the least even in a customer-facing (or talking) job. If the process is done right and fulfils their needs, Fe will take care of itself.
11:23 Because of this, if we're talking about work mode, oh absolutely. I fear about being fired every day, given that I'm working casually. But in my personal life, not at all, probably because I stop trying to be better. I just want to chill.
Yeah, as an INTJ, my take on routines is that I don't need to stick by one if not sticking by one would yield a better result. I just prefer to do similar physical things each day because it keeps the physical chaos under control and I can just auto-pilot through the tedium. Though I do find myself feeling demotivated when every day is the same and appears to be going nowhere. And also that Se tends to leak out every now and then when I just want to go and escape (which I've been doing recently...) though it's still all very Ni since I have a future plan in mind.
EDIT: Here's something. I used to do university assignments kinda last minute. However, at university, I had only recently escaped from a... situation... that had lasted the vast majority of my teenage years and I think it left me rather chaotic afterwards. University was supposed to be the escape but then I found out university was basically full of the same things I'd tried to escape from, and I wound up utterly despising much of what I was being taught so I actually ended up pursuing my own interests and projects over my own university work (I was helping revive a society that was on the verge of complete death because the previous people running it couldn't be bothered, as well as my writing project) because the university work was honestly less stimulating. I also wound up craving social interactions with particular people which is very... unusual for me (but makes complete sense when taken with what had happened previously). I think also there was kinda a... rush I used to get when doing projects last minute. Might have been that Se excitement, though I also planned to allow myself to be able to do everything last minute if that makes sense. All the groundwork would have been done; it was just a matter of writing the essays, and I'd plan for multiple essays and assignments, what order to do them, how much time I'd need etc. As such I didn't feel that stressed or didn't doubt I could do it. Also didn't miss a single deadline either.
You are probably an ESFP SCUAI, so with high openess to experience. I'm isfp and i'm rluai, so i tested as an infp
It was so funny watching you talk about cognitive functions when taking this test. The 16Personalities test doesn't judge from cognitive functions, but just the letters, like E or I. Also, with questions relating to others perception, self-perception, future confidence, etc. That's testing something that's only on 16Personalities, Assertive compared to Turbulent.
you answering the "are you prone to worrying..." question was like listening to the Sicilian on 'The Princess Bride' work out which goblet to drink from. XD
Hi ENTP and fellow Christian here I believe you accidentally conflated agreement with “reliance on” for the “emotions vs rationality”. Just because everyone in the room acts/thinks rationally doesn’t mean they reach the same conclusion-see blind men and the elephant story. Also nothing you said for the world relying on rationality (ie morality, philosophy and ethics) is actually pure rationality (which only had to do with data and facts). Nor are the things you listed emotional- they are the union of the two which is one of the things that makes humanity cool!
I've noticed the Pokemon Gold and Silver and the Lost Woods theme song in the background towards the end.
It's a website I think I've started from 2 years ago. Test is awful, but the website is good. I've read every single section that's available on the site for all 16 types and then got some big picture understanding what could the main differences between people be. When I learned about cognitive function and Jung's work it was easy for me to connect cognitive functions to all those traits of 16 types so all in all this website can be a good start for absolute "beginners".
Kristin, are you sure you're not an INTP? ;)
Just kidding, but you are expressing what I've always thought about these tests. They are not specific enough and we are viewing the words/questions through our distorted lens. Thank you for making this video. My ENTP brother doesn't believe me, and he got ENFJ on the test! I'm an INTP and I would always get ISTJ or ISFJ on the test because I'm "practical" and "reliable--in my opinion.
Love the background music :D
Makes sense to hear Fi's theme for an ESFP ;)
Kokiri forest is such a banger, right???))
@@fork7809 it is :)
Though so much of Zelda is a banger ;)
In my circle of friends and all people I know only F users got mistyped by the test and I've helped them to find their type using functions afterwards - all types were found and they related to them instantly and understood their type since but not after the test. On the other hand, I, some of my relatives and friends who are T types were all typed correctly so I find it kinda hilarious and think that F types need a separate test for them mb. Also your tangents while doing the test showed me why F people have mistypes so often, I've never even think of answering with my resolution or some other delusional thing instead of real thing lol. Like is you are often late and wish not to be click that you are often late, it's the test, you need accurate results.
It's true that this test is not accurate but my mbti type got accurate coincidently and that's INFP I'm shocked myself cause I relate so much in it and I have even compared it to the other types but I didn't matched there at all.
I am INTP-A. The test has mostly given me INTP (also INFJ, INTJ, and INFP)
After watching this video, I realized that I actually know nothing about MBTI **Cries alone in corner**
14:08 My mind says to follow my heart ❤️!
I'm pretty sure I'm an INFJ, but I will be retaking the test while using this as a guide.
Kristin the Christian. Love it.
ENFP vs ESFP decision is really kinda confusing. I'd taken the test two years ago for the first time. Always got ENFP and bought it until I met someone wayyy more like an ENFP by the way they do things using their primary function. I looked it up and am contemplating if I could actually be an ESFP instead.
Here's my criticism of the video:
1) Going into the test with the assumption that it is going to test your cognitive functions instead of taking the questions at face value is unfair to the test.
2) Answering questions based on your assumed type (ex: "as an ESFP, I ...") instead of taking the questions at face value is unfair to the test.
3) It is unlikely (but possible) for a person to have a complete 100% preference on the dichotomies tested, so it's completely normal for a person to choose some answers from their "less preferred" dichotomy. That's the point of this test - to see where on the scale your preference lies.
Ok so in my experience.. this type tests sometimes give wrong results. But many times the do it pretty well. Like me and my sister get right results, however my mother get a wrong one (she get isfp tho she is infp) but any way it will give you a overall idea which is pretty helpful if you are new. After then you can reach more and learn more about it. Most people do the same. They keep knowing with time.
In this test the 4 NF are by far the most obtained, and the 4 ST the least (every personality page has the number of results)
One thing many people don't realize about 16Personalities is that their theoretical model is not MBTI or Jungian. 16Personalities is based on these theories, but their model does not support the existence of cognitive functions, and what they define as "intuitive," for example, is not directly interchangeable with what Myers-Briggs and Jung define as "intuitive."
Interestingly, this test skewed me toward being a sensor -and it was definitely because there was no clarity in their definitions. The way each type will interpret some of those questions is so varied I wasn't halfway through before I didn't trust my result.
Thankyou for making a long video🥳🥳
Edit: midthrough the video and an add appeared of you for UrMyType lol🥰❤️
I think Alexis Kingsley is also really good at explaining the cognitive functions
Dear Kristin, please explain in a video how the last the last letter means the opposite thing for introverts. I haven't heard this being said in any of your videos and it would clear some misunderstandings. So, an ENTP is a Ne-dom, because the first one is dictated by the last letter, in this case perceiving, so sensing or intuition, but... an INTP is Ti-dom, and not a Ni-dom, because the last letter is secretly reversed to a J and the same goes for introverts with a J in the end, they have P as their dom. I didn't do the math behind this, but to me, it does make some sense. I know this and I'm absolutely sure that you know this as well, but since you never talked about it, it might have created some misunderstanding among some viewers. I hope you find some time to read a new comment on a 10 month old video. :P And I believe I sent you a message via your site, but I wanted to also write it here. Cheers.
While i dont trust the test, when i tried to type you from mere observation i thought ENFP as well.
