As an INTJ I found it funny that I was interested in the first clip, and why he did what he did. It gave information that I found potently useful to me. In the second clip I lost interest very quickly. I felt more like"why are you telling me this, and how is that useful for me to know."

This might be related to nothing, but it's curious that the Si/Ne setup is built to be moveable... but the Ni/Se is very stationary.

This is why you often find Ni types are minimalists.

Dave gets a lot of things from his dead grandma :D

Si:what I did Ni:why I did it

My dad is dominant Ni and he’ll geek out on the organization of everything but it’s SO HARD to get the story behind old tools from him

This is one of the best videos yet, I find distinguishing between Ni and Si pretty challenging at an abstract level, but this gave more clarity. I'd really like to see you guys do more cognitive function comparison videos like this. 👌👌

This is your best KZfaq video yet. 100%. This is some real specific contrasts that are super clear and obvious talking about one of the most misunderstood mistypings. Super good!

This is brilliant & such a great observation! Ni = organization within the general concept (yes!) Si = organization with personal meaning attached to placement/object of some kind. I always organize from alphabetical or size ratios, I definitely see the Se within the organization tho.

I think you can also see Ne in the layout too. Think about the first layout with the Ni user. It was stuck in one place and he considered the project finished. (if I need to make something with these tools, I can just bring the projects here). Whereas, Adam Savage's layout is on wheels. So he can jump from one project to another, bouncing in between, and bring all his tools along with him. And Adam talked about experimenting with the tool holder and did not consider the thing finished. Using Ne.

i clicked for the Ni/Si comparison i stayed for the phallic references

this ni/si distinction makes so much sense for me as an INTJ. I am hard to shop for because I don't particularly care about the gift that I get. If it turns out to be not that useful for me, and it'll just collect dust, I will end up tossing it even though I appreciated the gesture. The bit about ni/se putting importance on the layout and concept more than the details is especially relatable. When I was a kid and re-organized the furniture in my bedroom, I would explain how the new layout is more effective than the old, makes the room look bigger, is easier to walk through, etc. But when shopping online I get so frustrated about having to read about the materials used, the quality, what the differences are...its too many options. I just want what will work for me and what will look good, plain and simple.

So it's basically the shape of the theme which is relevant for Ni, while Si loves nitpicking every single freaking detail down to the quark of doom.

🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣 I can’t stop laughing at the pocket knife comments and the look on Shan’s face! I’m in pain!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And on a serious note...these comparison videos are extremely helpful! Now back to laughing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ti-Ni (as far as I know) and I organize my playlists from fast to slow in case I fall asleep and don’t wanna wake up from a loud ass bang in a song. Most, if not all organizing is done in a subconscious “in case” scenario mindset. I thought my schedule was chaotic but ever since I practiced more introspection from OPS I realized how routinely, rigid, and meticulous I actually am to the point where (surprise, surprise) I’ve overlooked tribe priorities and what matters over what works.

Lawd, I’m so Si! I can definitely go on at length about specific tools, the benefits and differences etc, LOL!! I’m also very particular about my pens and get really disagreeable when I have to use a standard medium ball point pen instead of a finepoint sharpie pen 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

INTJ here. This is one of my FAVORITE videos y'all have done. It illustrates so well the differences.

“Te showing off their ideas extrovertedly” - wow, this almost throwaway line really helped to recontextualise my understanding of Te.

Yessss! I'm ESTP, and this absolutely rings true. All my tools are organized per workflow. The layout used to be pristine, but then my girlfriend happened to my socket wrenches and it was all downhill from there 😒 Great video.

Oh wow. Once again confirming my Ni/Se functions. I don’t care about a story behind the tools. In fact, sentimentalities behind an object make me roll my eyes so hard. Depending on the objects in question, I organize by -category- art, movies, books- some categories may have subcategories but ultimately will be organized within their categorical area. safety (heavy/light/avoid possible accidents which could cause more work in the future that I don’t want to deal with) ease of access -if it’s part of something I have a specific order of use for, I may organize it a bit in order of the use- whatever I find easiest... and also aesthetically appealing for me as well (‘-‘ )lol so (color/ size/ or just way it fits together) while minimizing space used to maximize available space.

Hm, the problem with this comparison is that in the 1. clip the guy was all by himself alone and only talking to a camera and in the 2. clip the guy wasn’t all by himself alone he had company and didn’t just talked to a camera. It makes sense that the 1. guy didn’t go into details about each individual tool because he had no real person to share this talk with. The 2. guy on the other hand had a person to share this talk with in real life. I think it’s obvious that is not as much fun talking into an empty space as it is talking to another person. The viewers aren’t there to listen to him talking to himself for minutes it makes sense for him to stick to the actual important stuff like the layout. And I also think it makes sense that when you’re accompanied by someone you’re more likely to talk about details of each individual tool because that’s what you do after you understood the basic layout.

Omg! Great video! My ISTJ friend is this way about Lego. If you get him excited about showing his Lego collection he will go into detail about individual pieces and how they came from certain sets. Like I got this dog from this set and I got this garbage can from this set. His grandma who regretably past away was even worse. Once she spent 10 minutes talking about a mall that existed 40 years ago and she went into detail of every store that was in the mall and what items she would buy in each store. Like what?

My Savior Ne Demon Si says, why in the world would you want to organize a workshop??? :-)

confirmed my thought that I’m Ne/Si

Definitely accurate for me about the Ni way of organizing- the overall concept and direction is much more interesting than the individual things being organized

Spot on. My best friend is an Si user and she talks about her stuff for hours, in detail. Many memories and emotions attached to it. For me, an Ni user, stuff holds no emotional value, it simply serves a function.

This is so incredibly enlightening and entertaining. Explains why I find Si processes and details so triggering 🤣 I know what works best for me with planning is looking at the final outcome. I literally cannot plan at all if I don't know where I want to end up. Whereas I've observed my Si friend just goes one thing to the next to the next, not actually knowing where she's going, but gets it done anyway. So I've learned to schedule my year/months/weeks/days backwards: if I want to be in bed at this time, dinner needs to be at this time, prep needs to start at this time etc. If I do it any other I absolutely hate it and I can't stick to it. Idk if that style of scheduling is a typical Ni strategy but I hardcore related to the first workshop, lol. I also despise manuals and I can't win a strategy game until I play one or two rounds through, watching everyone else the whole time and finishing, usually, dead last ... because the instructions are useless for me.

"I can't tell you how many times this has saved my butt... ..I use this *'maybe' once a year."* 😂 PS. *He has phuqn plastic phorks in the top of his TOOL container.* 😂😂😂 That about sums it up!

You used a sped-up clip of a couple of Ne doms talking and it's so chaotic! I feel sorry for the Ni doms who had to watch this chaos lol!

I find this to be an excellent video because it shows how Ni works with something as concrete as physical organization and tools. It’s very easy to get caught up in purely abstract concepts (ex: time, archetypes, etc.) when describing Ni, which I guess means the cognitive functions comes with their own stereotypes. That’s what confused me in your earlier content when you would explain Ni with seemingly strictly sensory things, but after this video I can see more of what you meant then. Thanks for this!

Thank you, I've been waiting for this one. Was always iffy on whether I was savior Ni or Si.

Dave I miss you guiding me through rc airplane builds! You were the source of lots of childhood fun and I thank you for that

OMG, I just LOVE this video. It is one of the best one's that has taught me some of the differences between Si and Ni (and Ne/Se).

Lmaoooo this is so Tim and I. He is Ni about his organization and i get very personal with things.

Young entps showing up their legos collection was to much details for me haha.

ugh dave thankyou for being on youtube ive literally never seen or heard another infp and ive fallen inlove with your channel in a matter of seconds. great content and personalities.

This is really going to narrow things down for some people

So, basically Si users need to stay away from any religion because they will interpret it in a literal way?

Without a doubt the funniest thing I ever saw on your channel 😂haha

one of the best channels ive stumbled across. seriously.

I'm like this but with Fi collections - music, books, movies... That's why the mixed CD/playlist is the ultimate artform. Every song should have at least three personal stories behind it Also, this is one of my favorite videos yet

I'm an Ni dom, I can see it without the contrast :) That's also exactly how I talk about it - in categories and what the general idea is rather than focusing on details about a single piece.

Hmm that hot glue on the magnets was genius.

Interaction between Dave and Shane is another the most interesting thing on this channel.

Okay, watching the two ENTPs talking about the pliers is hilarious! OMG I would have left the room halfway through that discussion. Do NOT care about every type of plier on the planet, LOL It actually reminds me of an ISTJ colleague who has to tell me EVERY LITTLE DETAIL of the home projects he's working on. He explained in excruciating detail how he converted his attic into a room, how he built his tool shed, how he painted his garage door, how he planted his flower beds (and how he ordered the plants from various places online and which plants came from where), etc. He's a programmer. It cracks me up. When I see him coming over to my cubicle and start off by saying, "So Aubrey, I got my new surround system set up this weekend. ....... ......... ...... " I know it's going to be a long tedious conversation. LOL

I need this channel for my ISTP. His tools need to be better organized.

Awesome! I favour basic categories for tool organization with high adaptability because I don’t know how I’ll actually use them and I know that my collection is incomplete. Thus, adaptability becomes the long term winner, but some degree of in depth organization is good because it could take a long time before the current collection evolves... 😂

Best video I have seen differentiating Ni and Si for me. Thank you.

I've always distinguished that Ni was more the organization of ideas and subjects, while Si is more personal and physical organization - Not necessarily that Ni is all that organized.

This is the FIRST video I’ve seen that actually explains the difference between Se and Si in a way that makes sense!

As an ISFJ this is so true. Even down to my pens. I only use a particular pen because of the light shade of the pen and the shape of the tip. It makes my handwriting look better than with other pens. Then again everyone else who has used this pen (especially those who I told about it) have good things to say about it.

Oh my gosh! When I'm showing someone something at my place, I act just like Adam Savage did in this video. So funny. Just yesterday, my dad stopped by my apartment. He stopped by to show me his new coins in his coin collection and to give me some coin books for my collection. We talked about coin collecting for a while (maybe an hour or two which is a long time for him since he usually doesn't talk much). Then, when that wound down, I found myself showing him all the stuff I'd collected or displayed in a new way since the last time he'd been in my apartment a couple of months ago. I briefly talked about the ways in which they were displayed, but we talked a lot about specific, special items, especially ones that I'd kept from when we both lived on my grandpa's ranch. I think I got about as excited as Adam in the process too because it's so seldom that anyone comes over to my apartment and takes an interest in what I'm interested in that I'm like 'Wow! Someone actually cares about this besides me? Cool!' :)

i was waiting for this one quite a long time :) thanks guys. and it was hilarious too 😂

As an ENTP this might explain why I never get rid of things. Even tho everything around me is a complete mess, the actual objects are in perfect condition. I never lose things and get mad if someone takes them without asking, even if they ask for permission I am always reluctant to comply. I am like, are you going to take care of it? and I get mad if something happens to it, even if it is something I do not use anymore. I still have clothes I had since high school and they are in perfect condition, even tho I still use them. I only replace my phone if it gets broken, my current phone I have had it for four years now and it looks brand new.

INFJ here who loves Leatherman tools! Quick story--I found a Leatherman in a pouch in my deceased dad's car and kept it. Years later, right before a major trip I was going to take, I needed to use it and inside the pouch were three $50 bills. It had been his emergency car money. I felt like even though my dad was gone, he was still caring for me, and I spent them wisely on my trip. This video made me think of him, thanks!

Si: Which carbonated soft drinks you want, Pepsi or Coca-Cola? Ni: Yes

I used to not understand why my ISFJ mom got so upset when I critiqued the super old interior decor at home as a teenager, she literally started to cry because she had so much emotional attachment to it

Oh shit! A couple of my friends typed me as ISFJ because I am meticulously organized and use systems. The difference is that my systems don’t have sentimental value. Si: “I organize based on my value of individual parts.” Ni: “I organize because it’s functional”

Okay... so you've convinced me I'm an Ni... 'cause I'd totally be telling you how I conceptualised the whole thing.. and like the Ni, I'd point out the things I learned by category so that you'd be alerted to why doing it one way might work better than another way. In the Ne/Si video, I'd be feigning interest in the things to be friendly to the Ne/Si. If I talk about things, it's a short conversation. :D

Tommy from One Minute Workbench sounds Ti/Ni in his incredibly detailed reasoning process full of caveats. Ni steps in and makes it succinct (and a dupe for Te). I would also like to note both Si and Fe can form sentimental attachments to inanimate objects, but for different reasons. Si has a history with the object whereas Fe anthropomorphizes the object because it looks like a cute face or something... says the person who can’t throw out a rotting Jack-O-Lantern:)

Quality content. Thanks y'all.

I'm a simple man: I see Adam Savage, I click. The personality content is just even more reason to click and stay

This cleared a lot of things 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Or most used to least used lol My husband and I tried to reorganise our craft room last year and we each have such different styles. He wanted to sort everything into micro categories, whereas I was like "Well I use paint and toothpicks for clay, so they can all go in the same shelf as the clay" And he kept sitting down and talking about things he could do with the objects, projects he'd started but not finished, and who gave him the items... But it's organised now (and I still put paint and toothpicks with clay).

Guy one and guy two have completely different requirements of a workshop, that is why they show them off differently. Find a si guy who has to create unique things and has more space, then you can compare to Adam. Then find a ni guy that has standard workshop needs and more limited space and see what they do.

I love how they have fun together doing something they love

I like that loud laughter from ENTJ, happens the same with me no matter who's around, I always laugh the loudest too 😂 I notice it's contagious, especially when listening to introvert's insights.

I was thinking just this same topic guys on my way from the gym this morning. Crazy right on cue

Specific examples like this help a lot.

HAHAHAHA this is awesome!! It reminds me of my mom (ISTJ) and me (ENTJ) talking about things such as earrings from Great Gma: Mom will know what date Gma got them, where she wore them or something like that, and I'll retain "these are Great Gmas earrings"...too much!!

I think the weird thing about them is how fast they talk

I like the ending part of the video, those clips are cool :D

07:03 omg u got me XDDDDD that wall break was too good man xD that face ssays it all

I've watched this several times and every time I'm pained at how much I relate to One Minute Tools guy, including his SLAP! signoff... >.

This is a great way to distinguish INFP from ISFP

OMG 😂

Pure gold for understanding Ni v Si differences

I just watched a video of a guy building a cabin and he talked about restoring his grandfathers saw and then showed himself doing it. I couldn’t stand it and fast forwarded till he got back to building.

Looks great to use, horrific to set up. I would have a nightmare of a time keeping it orderly. This was a great illustration, I am much more like Adam. This gave me a good example that I am lead Ne, demon Si.

My husband has the same one lol! and yeah they do get smaller pocket size .

This is so fun to watch

I think this video finally did it. I used to pitch this personality theory to all my friends, breaking down their demons and telling them about their subconscious weaknesses, but over the last few months I really started to lose that natural enthusiasm for it because I couldn't figure out my type. A long time ago I thought I was INFP, then it went ENFP, then this last summer I discarded ENFP (due to the fact that me and the other ENFPs I think I know are so outrageously different) and then I went INTJ. Since August I didn't have myself fully convinced that I was INTJ, and in the last week I started to suspect INTP (an idea I discarded for a long time I suppose). It started to fit me more and more and now, seeing this video, I know for a fact that I am Ne/Si as I get waaaaay too into my specific tools that are special to me. One of my things I do with people is show them all the fountain pens that I collect and love individually, and I know to lose one of them would have emotional repercussions specific to that pen. Literally half an hour after this video, I considered what it would mean for me to have Ti/ demon Fe, and I started having a series of flashbacks to points in my life when I said some insensitive shit and offended people, not because I meant to put them down, but because I simply just didn't consider other people's emotional needs. It was a subconscious assumption and those little pits I got myself into really stuck with me for much longer than they should have. I would think that this 'Si showing these specific things' extends to your other functions, so INTPs would love to share this Idea/Concept/Framework that really works for them, whereas an INFJ or maybe an ISTP (someone with Ni/Se instead) would be less about the specific idea and more about their journey organizing those ideas within them. Anyway, thank you for this video. It singlehandedly managed to make a lot of this personality theory that I was iffy about make so much more sense. It's a huge relief to know that this last year and a half of watching these videos is finally paying off

I really need those Knipex cutters now...gotta myth bust the myth buster legend himself to see what they can’t cut through 😂🤣

Wow, thank you! This made me more certain that I use ni and se

Hahaa! You two are so fun!😎

Your Videos were so much better in the past. You showed stuff, you explained stuff. In this you two just sit there and ramble about a topic. As much as I like you too just watching a video, in the past the Videos were way more 'on the point'.

I feel like I'm spinning my wheels at trying to figure out my personality. In the past month I've listened to so many podcasts, videos, and read so much online. I've binged this Channels videos this week so far I think it's helped. I'm pretty sure I'm Ne/Ti but can't figure out the animals. the only one I'm thinking is last is Play as I constantly feel way too tired to do anything unless it's play video games or watch KZfaq. The People around me tell me I'm a spaztic person and very oblivious to things like while I'm driving or I'll walk right by the "thing" I'm looking for etc. I am aweful at remembering names, dates, numbers, etc. I don't think I'm spaztic at all tho and I always thought I was very observant and detail oriented. Idk anymore tho. Ugh 😑

I’m a infj tradie working with a estj one day he lost a $10 wrench and he was upset for days constantly talking about how long he had it and it was such a good one.It just annoyed me I was like “just go and buy another one” he said “you just don’t understand”🙄

LOL 😂 as a Ni savior when a Si person talks I just hear rambling... just stop and get to the point please 😂 Maybe because of this Ni-Se users are better teachers and Ne-Si users are better craftsmen.

you guys need to find videos of same people that do both things based on circumstances to disprove this theory.

Oh wow, I’m confused because I thought I was an ENFJ but now I’m wondering if I’m actually an INFP or ESFP. I am always personalizing my belongings. This was a clear demonstration thank you.

Well, here I am struggling with my warehouse pallet stacking job, wasting time being meticulous about creating as many flat surfaces such that (just maybe) I can lay flat another box on top and cultivate a masterpiece stack that doesn't end up looking like a bee hive with malignant cancer and exploding all over an aisle. Ugh... This job is too quick and dirty for me. I should stick to spreadsheets.

Those knipex cutters though... butter. A pleasure to use. Cuts nichrome wire all day! There’s something I masculine Fi love about the masculine Si, right tool for the job.

That editing tho 😂 👏🏽

Adam and his medical gerbil retractor!! Hilarious!!

So true. Ni/se here. I organize according to "how this looks beautiful to the eye from cross the room." Comes out similar to the si. Funny how it works.

The brush hanging on the side because it didn't fit anywhere else.

1) I checked One Minute Workbench channel. There's an intro video, the guy says that he organizes the tools because he wants to spend time on projects rather than setting up tools. The purpose of the video is to show how to make setup like this, that's why he shows the details. Just optimizing work process and not being lazy. I don't think he's showing off as you say in the video. 2) The second video is an interview it would've been short and boring if he just showed the categorization in the setup, so he shows the tools that he finds very useful.

I like this video but let me say, the person on the right has simply amazing style! Keep looking good! but don't stress it...

Hmm. I'm Intp. I'm not aware that I'm super focused on specific tools like this (but in a programmer). I guess I might talk about specific software packages like this. I'll keep it in mind.
