You guys should produce some sort of online or physical text book for these courses using all of the cool graphics from the videos.

"...or how orally fixated they might be" *takes pen out of mouth*

This video sparked my need to know more on how the personality is affected by long term exposure to poverty. I feel like I'd be a completely different person if I lived comfortably, not having to deal with the constant social pressures, the hopelessness, feelings of inadequacy, the shame, regret, and self hatred.

So, I watch Crash Course for the fun of it, the psychology series especially. I just find his way of talking and teaching really relaxing, his voice is very expressive and fast paced in a way that keeps me interested and entertained at the same time. Most of the time, with educational videos, the speaker speaks so..slow and monotonous and I hate it SO much. I always fell asleep in class because of it. But when t hey occasionally show something with this fantastic man, I was always interested and ready to learn.

"We’re all different people all through our lives. And that’s okay. That’s good. You gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be."

There’s a GLARING missed pun in here. “Using OCEAN or CANOE to remember..whichever one you want” should’ve been “Using OCEAN or CANOE to remember..whichever floats your boat” 😂😂😂😂

How would you measure a personality? What, exactly, is the self? Well, as you've come to expect, it's not that easy to nail down an answer for those questions. Whether you're into blood, bile, earth, wind, fire, or those Buzzfeed questionnaires, there are LOTS of ways to get at who we are and why.

My ideal self is princess bubble gum

I LOVE HOW YALL USED ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK!!!!

Hank- "And then you got your buzzfeed quizzes to determine what kind of sandwich you are" Me- **googles** what kind of sandwich *am* i?

These two videos covered literally everything in a full lecture section of my psych class, lol. Thank you.

This not only got me through AP Psychology in high school but also my psych 101 class in college and will probably help me in getting my degree! Thank you Hank

The Chinese Wu Xing system, used in almost everything, including medicine, actually has wood instead of wind. It was thought that wind was created by trees, and therefore not a separate element.

Hank just taught me 3 chapters in 3 videos 15 mins each, and my teacher can't even do that in 3 weeks! What a legend. Thanks Hank!

Thank you everyone who makes all these videos! especially the psychology ones!! they are really great and way to make a difference and help people learn

I love the study of people and the 'self' this has helped me a lot in understanding people and predicting how they will act..I have a form of autism but I don't even mention that anymore because I basically conquered it

I love how much this channel makes me think about the world and how I live in it. Well done!

So many people commenting about their personality. Why do you feel the need to tell us about yourself? SERIOUSLY, WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

Thank you for putting the effort into producing these videos. You have confirmed my self analyses. Ive spent many years pondering. you showed me my correctness.

So are y'all genuinely watching this video for fun or are y'all in quarantine forced to watch it and take notes by your crazy psych teacher??

excellent exposition of a hard subject!....congratulations on your effectiveness in the subject matter and especially in making it fun!....more schools should learn from your technique of teaching!...

I'm actually obsessed with MBTI. I love everything about it. It's just incredibly interesting to me and I love it.

I would like him to take a moment before he starts next sentence plz

Wait, are you telling me those Facebook quizzes are NOT a good measure of personality???

How on earth did you list all those systems if categorizing people's personalities without mentioning Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor? It must have been a conscious choice. I was SURE you'd come back at the end with a joke like, "Thanks for watching. By the way... I am a Hufflepuff." (or whichever)

I love the way he talks! Fast and right to the point.

Great outlook of personality. Ths just shows us how primitive in the evolutionary stage of knowledge we still are at discovering how things, but these analysis and theories presented were just another thing for me to learn upon. Great video!

I absolutely love that I can come to your channel and learn something new! By the way John Green helped me pass A.P US History, so thank you!

I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder - I would really appreciate more information about this disorder - I've also been diagnosed with Bipolar and GAD when I was 14 and 16 respectively. I really appreciate the video's you have for those, they really helped explain to my friends what it means to have my illnesses, but I can't find anything that really helps explain BPD and I don't know a lot about it other than I have it.

2:54 I kinda laughed imagining Allport doing that after Freud asked him that.

Outstanding summary, and top notch presentation. I enjoyed that refresher very much. Thanks.

Been struggling to write an essay for 2 weeks and this has helped so much!

I ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN LOVE THE PRINCESS BUBLEGUM CAMEO

I love the Internal Family Systems therapy model that describes self with 8 C's: curiousity, compassion, calm, clarity, creativity, courage, connectedness, & confidence. I have dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) & have been on an epic journey of redefining who "I" am! LOVE your videos!!!!! HUGE HELP along this healing journey!!!! THANK YOU for all you do!!!!! in Light & Love, ~Kristin

I’m very much a Humanistic-Existential psychologist, but also very much love objective assessment measures. The key is to reach conclusions based on ALL the information gathered. In this manner they compliment each other & refine our conclusions.

These are so useful crash course, thank you crash course, keep up the great work!

love the little cartoon of oitnb in the beginning! so cute!

Seriously, I love these videos!

Thank you for these wonderful videos, and sharing the knowledge you have!

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR VIDEOS

4:30-4:36 Hmmmm... And was that shy person you, Hank? ;)

This episode should have had personality test attached to it

Thank you crash course for everything you do for me and my finals.

These videos are AMAZING for exam revision for uni. THANK YOU CrashCourse!! :D

i'm chaotic neutral, intp, and a ravenclaw.

When it came to the picture of the woman in the hall, a person in my psychology class said that they thought that she was laughing because she had just killed him...

dude this series is addictive i just watched 4 vids in a row of this channel , good work

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!! Thank you.

9:45 Did no one notice that Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time appeared in the video? I'm surprised nobody commented about it.

I hope there can be a Crash Course Video based on the MBTI Personality Types would be awesome!

This was actually one of my favourite chapters to study in my Psychology class at school,so this may just be my favourite video so far,haha.

Studying AP psych and the personality has to be one of my favourite units!!

I always loving watching thevlogbrothers do anything they are amazing!

man i used to watch this series for fun and somehow i ended up majoring in psychology and have to come back here to learn from home 😔

you have no idea how much I love your videos !!

I really really enjoyed this video. I'm so interested in personality tests and psychology like that.

CrashCourse Just a point of clarification, MMPI and Myers Briggs are not actually trait tests, not in the sense of trait theory. MMPI uses empirical criterion keying. Basically a large battery of random questions were administered to clinical populations, and responses were correlated with diagnostic groups. When you take the test, your results are based on how your responses correlate to the average response in one of those groups. It's a very atheoretical type of test and based more on psychiatric diagnosing than traits. Myers-Briggs also does not use traits, which are continuous, but rather focuses on types. Types are binary categories. You are extroverted or introverted, etc. It does not tell you to what extent you are introverted or extroverted though. Trait tests on the other hand are developed using factor analysis, which groups together similar questions into groups called factors. The test developer then looks at what these have in common and gives the factor a name. When someone takes the test, they are placed on a continuum, rather than a binary category like the Myers-Briggs. Many trait theorists will get a bit peeved if you compare their work to the MBPI, which they often view as unscientific. I made that mistake once when I first started studying trait theory, haha. Some good trait tests are the popular Big Five Personality Inventory, the HEXACO personality inventory, the alternative five/zuckerman-kuhlman-aluja personality inventory, and the Eysenck personality inventory. There are free versions of these online except for the alternative five I believe, so those curious about personality traits should take them all and compare the results from different tests!

I like how he used an illustration of Princess Bubblegum😁

Great video. This is the best way of studying. So creative!

i appreciate the amount of knowledge u have

Overall, great episode! I hate to be "that person," but I do feel the need to point out that introversion does not necessarily mean the same thing as shyness. Introversion means finding energy without having to be around people. Shyness means being afraid or nervous around people. Those are two different things. Now you know. Have a great day and DFTBA! :)

I had to take Maslow's self-actualization test for a personality psych course. Most of its questions are sensible, but then there are a few really weird ones, like "Agree/Disagree: I relate to wizards." I don't really understand how that's even a question on the test. Anyway, when I took it, I found what I already knew: I'm mentally stable in most of my life, but horribly, terribly deficient in my social and love life. Yeah, thanks for rubbing THAT in...and making me write an 8-page paper on it...

Hi! I have been enjoying your videos and have been a supporter since. I was wondering if you would kindly do more psychology series? (abnormal, criminology, developmental). Thank you

thank you so much... now I am in love with knowledge :)

I would just like to say as an artist attempting to navigate her way through the soft sciences (tho from such a mindset, psychology seems pretty hard science sometimes.) Anyways, I really enjoy the graphics. Beautiful work. They're equal to the quality of verbal information given. Thank you.

I don't know about you, but the Meyer Briggs personality test was REALLY accurate for me. (Btw I'm an INTJ)

I love Hank! Such a great series

I love crash course psychology! I wish it will never end!

Please do a Psychology video on depression and mental health issues

Literally watching this 2 hours before my ap exam

more more more about the human psyche please Hank, i'm having strange days to say the least and this really cracks me up ( like a lot of people ) also its super freaking fascinating oh yes, the youtube gods were feeling good when they made this channel, love ya Hank

Tks a lot!!! I loved this channel!!

2:54 GIANT SQUID OF ANGER

Using Orange is the New Black characters in the begining lol awesome!

A nice general overview of the topic. Accurate and correct explanations of the various perspectives. If one of my students knew the information in this segment they would be able to earn a 'B' on the exam. Worth watching if you are a student in an Introductory Psychology college course.

Just when I think I know the answers new complex fitting ideas are grasped from this I shall now add to my essay 🙇🏽‍♀️

Thanks for the existential crisis!

Yay for being introvert :)

Thank you !! using this to pass my degree ;)

Have I mentioned I love this show!! I'm going to donate soon..

Lol that Orange Is The New Black reference at the beginning

i have an exam on this in 8 minutes. ill let you know how i do when i’m done.

This is so greeeeeat, the best thing to watch before exams.

I love this series

Personality can be hard to put together and fully figure out because peoples personalities and out looks on life among other things can alternate at times whether it be times of crisis or chaos or not. Personality probably has its rating scores as well like other types of different scales to the contrary and all. What some would deem a terrible or horrendous personality others would deem Okay or Average or even a Fantastic or Amazing personality and vice versa. I suppose what most people within there right minds may view as a top tier personality would be someone who has no flaws and has made not mistakes physically, Mentally, and Spiritually among other ways of doing misdeeds. Some peoples mentality or mindsets may be designed and programmed liked a certain way sometimes like a humanoid robot or machine. Some peoples personalities to others can change depending on the circumstances going on around them like they may act nice around certain people and okay around others and like complete savages around others and so on and so forth. Some personalities are just a public persona and display while alone and private it is indeed unfamiliar. Some people have Multiple personality Disorders that can certainly alter there personas and sometimes make the victim of the diagnosis unpredictable and sometimes rash and reckless to a fault. Kinda like a Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome I suppose they would call it at least I would. The Majority of us have made mistakes in our lives some may consider them mistakes or choices or another topic depending on the individual of course but it is not always so easy or simplistic to define and pinpoint with accuracy and all. Of course some of our personalities I suppose can get us in better moods whether by exercising or some medications like anti depressants or perhaps some other type of formula medication or something of the sort. Some peeps have more of a "Moral Compass" to them and can not stand to see anyone or anything in what they would consider a bad place or position no matter what wrong the person may have done to them. Others are indifferent and others are sadistic and enjoy causing pain and terror to others for nothing but there own amusement. Some people personality wise can be shy and quiet individuals or they can be in between laid back and outgoing which is something I consider myself but some may label me different then what I view myself as of course. Some people Feign one personality and lie through there teeth and are very skilled liars and manipulators to get there way a "Wolf in Sheep's clothing" some would call it or the definition of "Fake it to you make it". Some are just the same way no matter what they are into or who or what they are around.

As a non-native speaker, sometimes the videos are kinda hard for me to understand or they're all going a little too fast, but besides that, this is so interesting and I'm so glad you guys put your time in making all this awesome things.

Love this video!

yes this episode was so good

anyone else pause the video when the big five chart showed up so that you can see which ones you are? ...no? ....just me?

I think the five Chinese elements (五行) doesn't include wind, instead it should be wood(木). Together is 金木水火土, as we call them 五行～

that was breathtaking

Very engaging video thank you!

The traits for the chart on 3:40 are confusing. Because I'm a little of both for each. I've noticed I act different ways with different people. I never treat 1 person the same. Some people are hard to deal with, and based on how well I feel I can handle them ,affects how I treat them. People have multiple views of me, and I do trust people, but I am suspicious when I know something's wrong and then I pull back and reserve myself. I've come to the conclusion, I'm a little of everything .

I'm INFP but Im almost right in the middle on the introvert-extrovert spectrum so depending on test I can get classified as both.

I am so extremely glad i subscribed to this channel :) this was an awesome video , as are most other vids on this channel. you guys are seriously awesome.

Omggggg that OITNB reference was ALL 💛💛💛

I might be the only one up for something like this but what if CC proposed an open ended question to the viewers, or some type of response provoking question after each video open to discussion, I think it would help solidify a lot of the ideas taught throughout the video by helping viewers create personal relationships to the content enabling us to walk away with some substance and call to action.

The low end of extraversion does not make you shy & reserved.

Really good watch.

hey hank i love your crash course videos, especially the biology seires and i hope that you will do physics next, expanding on stuff in scishow perhaps. once again thanks and i hope you will do physics.
