Lmao same

Same

So don't. An mbti type is nothing more than an oversimplification of cognitive preferences. You van be whoever you want

Me watching this at 2x speed 😂

It is indeed hard to focus on one lengthy thing. I tried to do my work while listening to the video, neither of them was done :D

I like his voice and pace, ENTP here

Hahaha some might take offense. Glad you liked it.

Thanks a lot. 🙂 I was particularly proud of that way of framing the issue. Glad to know that it was helpful.

Ooooo so in a sense you're simulating Te and letting these different voices battle each other. I like it. :D

You know, I was right on the verge of understanding Te until you came along.

@@AlextheENTP I wish I understood Ti. I have to pretend to make it by constantly comparing my logic to what other people would find logically consistent. Hence why I have to many Ti users in my life LOL I need a trustworthy source

@@PsychologyandChillwMichi Alright, here's how I experience Ti: The mother is Logic. Logic has given birth to twin sons, named Te and Ti. Ti organises everything he finds. Every newspaper, magazine, recipe book, textbook, manual and every piece of mail that has ever arrived at the house - every bit of information has been organised and categorised by Ti. It's his reason for being. Since the house is an ENTP, Ti's father is Ne. Every day his father goes out and collects... everything. Flyers, gum wrappers, abandoned shoes, unicorn hairs, spring water. When he gets home he dumps it all on the table and Ti does what he's built for. His sister Fe is really good at taking what he's organised and handing it out to people. But since he's bigger, he's in charge (Mom said so), so if the crowd gets irritating, Ti WILL yell facts at them with no regard for whether they like it, while Fe shrugs and goes, "Welp, you asked for it." Their baby brother is Si. His deep memory is frighteningly acute. Whatever Ti organises, he knows exactly where it is and when to retrieve it. He and his big brother make a formidable pair, and often enter debate tournaments together. Fe participates if it's a friendly match; if it's business, she's not interested. (Si can never remind anyone in the house to be on time for stuff tho, because, well, he's a baby.) If Fe hangs out with Si, she gets super nostalgic and wants to read all the old crap that he finds in the basement. But that's best done in small doses, because if she hangs out with him too much, the past becomes a burden and then Ti hates her and the whole family has to go for counselling. I mentioned that Ti and Te are twins. Why doesn't Te live with them? They were separated at birth. No-one knows where Te is now or what he's doing.

@@AlextheENTP OMG that's amazing, i've been thinking about the family dynamics of my personaltiy and it's very different than that looool

Hope it helps!

@@AutoAlchemy Thinking and feeling always overlap

Really glad it was helpful :D Forgot how much I liked this vid haha

Lol, why did it end our of curiosity?? (I am currently talking to an ENTP (I am an ENFP))

Oh my god! Same! (Me an ENFP going on a first date with an ENTP 😂)

@@AlllSmiless Two Ne doms are probably not a good mix honestly. Great friends and partners in crime, but bf/gf or bf/bf or gf/gf probably just won't work in the long run. I have faith or rather the pessimistic viewpoint that it will end eventually and not by death

@@YEDxYED facts asf

My bf is enfp and im entp and we have been together for so long even tho hes my online bf

Thanks! This is definitely a void that I'm hoping to fill in the YT community.

Yes! I think the trick is to get into the headspace where you separate from the feelings without repressing them. Then they just become information, valuable for whatever they're signaling. (E.g. turns out I have a boundary here or a need that is unexpressed.) Then the thinking function can be harnessed to address the root.

Damn right the Mandela effect is real. I come from the universe where it is ENTP.Nurture. 😋

@@AutoAlchemy aww, how can I ever reciprocate such love ♥️

What you're saying makes a lot sense. I think of it like a seesaw effect. If you lean on any function for too long then its opposite will make itself known. I'm really glad that you've gotten out of that situation and hope you're finding some kind of equilibrium.

@@AutoAlchemy yeah, I'm trying to find that balance. I appreciate my Fe a lot, but it's been used and abused by others too many times, and I never got any reciprocation. There's def lots of built-up resentment from a lifetime of being treated like a slave. It'll balance itself out as I heal.

I agree 100% with this

Hard to tell just from reading what you've written here, because I think a lot of these could go both ways. Some ENFPs, for example, have really activated Te, and they can love debating just as much as your stereotypical ENTP. It does sound like you're on the right track, though. I'm seeing ExxP patterns in what you're describing. I do have another video titled "Am I ENTP? (How to Know)" which may also help!

Glad the video was helpful for you!

Right, it's worth learning, but there are some barriers to entry. I think the best thing you could is self-direct your learning when it comes to OP. Like, watch enough of their videos to get the overview, but then head off on your own to study people who have been typed in their system and try to see / apply the concepts in practice.

Ahhhh, yes! That definitely helps.

Definitely yes. Although I do think the differences between E/INTP are far more obvious to the naked eye than those between ENT/FP, I still enjoy a good analysis, especially when I'm the subject, haha.

@@AlextheENTP I think I'm an ENTP but I always get INTP on tests so for the longest time, I thought that I was one.

@@genn.623 A lot of ENTPs identity as introverts until they find out they're ENTPs. I did too, and now I understand exactly why. I read a really good article on the differences between E/INTP - I can go dig up that link for you if you're interested.

@@AlextheENTP oh man I'd like to read that article

@@genn.623 By AJ Drenth on Personality Junkie: personalityjunkie.com/10/intp-vs-entp-type-differences-similarities/ I hope it's useful to you!

Glad it helped! The terminology can be challenging to work with because there are so many ambiguities in language. With Oe / Oi, I think it best boils down to a knee-jerk sense that either 'less is more' or 'more is never enough.' Something like that, anyhow!

@@AutoAlchemy Agree on language ambiguities! Thanks - that’s such an easy/concise way to think about it 👌 I’m new to your channel and will look around to see if you’ve already made these, but if not, I’d enjoy hearing your explanation on other OP concepts!

I think those are really great points. I think that if Dave and Shan did a better job of positioning the system within a conventional Jungian frame of personality lifespan development, this would not be such a problem. For example, you mention balance and maturity, and the way I interpret OP it is explicitly about imbalance. It is a catalogue of the various ways in which people can get imbalanced while on autopilot. But as we age, we learn to differentiate the ego (as a neutral commander) from the ego-identified complexes of our savior functions, and we open ourselves up to the full arsenal of psychological perspectives. Thanks for sharing!

Hillary! ❤ Thank you. The yin-yang image will most certainly resurface in other videos. I think it's going to be one of my regular illustrations as I find ways of sharpening my articulation of these concepts... Although I think that each 'image' and its accompanying commentary could be expanded into a video of its own. Sigh. The work is never done!

Lol. I love this comment in combination with your username / avatar. 😂

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks Vic! Much appreciated

Glad it helped!

Hahaha I'm sure it goes both ways

Sorry I somehow missed some older comments on my channel! Glad you got something out of this video. I wonder which types you put in the category of types you're 'waaaay less likely to be.' Color me curious. :P

I'll consider it! I'm not that well-versed so I'll have to teach myself.

Never heard of it! Adding it to my Consume-queue. Thank you.

Hahaha. I could sense your soul somewhere beyond your words. Glad you're still around in some guise! I'm a big fan of scythes since way back

@@AutoAlchemy I'll always be here bro.

Will look into it :) Thanks for resource

No problem! Hope it helped!

@@AutoAlchemy A million times, yes! The way its presented helped me to finally distinguish accurately between my ENTP f23 & ENFP M24 friends. To me, when things are running smoothly it might be difficult to view the difference, or when people meet them for the first time, could be only my observation not sure thou. Any thoughts Jeff? I love how ENTPs hold to the facts, couldn’t care less if they get off topic and talk about everything, they are creative intellectual individuals am grateful to their insights. Also, the way ENFPs are able to still demonstrate their thoughts yet still validate what matters to people, in a gentle way is fascinating.

@@AutoAlchemy 7:49 was on spot^^

Thanks! It means a lot!

Mmm. I may be explaining it badly. I think all types can be selfish in their own way. It's what happens when we let ourselves indulge in our one-sided preferences while missing out on the spectrum of cognitive modes.

@@AutoAlchemy "ENFP NeFi I have to follow what matters to me regardless whether it works for others". These statements really help me figure out which type I am. I have a strong F rating and I have struggled with being over emotional. I have to study it closer. No, I don't think you're excplaining it badly. I have my life experiences creating a personal reading. I just expected an ENFP to be more attentive to people's needs and feelings than an ENTP, especially feelings. I'm not well informed on personality types, so don't mind me miss interpreting things. I need to learn more. Thank you for your video. It's very helpful

@@shelleywinters6763 I see what you're saying and also why that might seem selfish! At the same time "what matters to me" can easily include other people, important ethical causes, etc. But you may still see the villain of the story as 'others' in a broad sense of collective groupthink, masses of people who fail to see what matters, etc. You probably do better with connecting to people on the individual level.

@@AutoAlchemy I have another interpretation of the statement now, if I factor in helping groups, championing causes. That is: to do what I have considered is best for everyone and not just a few individuals. It may not work for some people, but it works for me and I think it works for most people? Na can't be right, that sounds more like ENTP. That's what I would do. If I think my actions benefit the majority, regardless of what a loud minority might think, I would stick with my view and disregard them. I scored 43% on F, which could be wrong, I might be closer to 50%. That would confuse things :-) If a group let me lead them, I would decide what was best for most of the group. If there was an individual with a strong objection, I may attempt to accommodate them, otherrwise majority rules

ENTP > trash ENFP

Never heard of him but just looked him up... Dang, I can see it but wouldn't have had the thought myself

Lol for sure, that's a legit problem

I wear many hats, most of them metaphorical. :O

lol
