Chapters

• 00:00 - 02:30: Intro and INTJs The chapter discusses all 16 personality types, starting with INTJs. The author shares personal insights on how each type operates in their life, emphasizing that the interactions with INTJs have been non-material in nature.
• 02:30 - 08:30: INTPs The chapter 'INTPs' delves into the interactions and dynamics between the speaker and INTJs. The speaker describes how they use INTJs for 'vibing,' indicating a mutual understanding and shared communication style. This connection often stems from the INTJs' feelings of being overwhelmed by life, a sentiment the speaker can relate to. The chapter suggests that INTJs do not try to logically dismiss their challenges (referred to as 'Sovereign citizen logic'), which facilitates a sense of relatability and connection with them.
• 08:30 - 16:30: ENTJs This chapter explores the characteristics and behavioral patterns of ENTJs. It highlights the tendency of individuals to respond differently to circumstances despite experiencing similar situations. The discussion emphasizes caution in relying too heavily on letter dichotomies as they may lead to misconceptions, but acknowledges their utility in understanding interactions with ENTJs.
• 16:30 - 20:00: ENTPs This chapter explores the complex relationship dynamics between two individuals who, despite having similar outward behaviors and cognitive styles, fundamentally differ in their internal cognitive processes. The author uses a metaphorical scenario of being trapped in a cell with a person from a different planet, highlighting the nuances in temperament and perspective that distinguish them, especially in the context of the ENTP personality type.
• 20:00 - 24:00: INFJs This chapter explores the INFJ personality, particularly in the context of dealing with stress and sadness. It discusses the commonality of experiencing similar emotions but highlights the productive divergence in the thought processes concerning the reasons for unhappiness and the strategies for addressing it. A reference to Nietzsche suggests introspection about the necessity and role of solutions in personal struggles.
• 24:00 - 29:00: INFPs The chapter discusses the relationship between INFPs and INTJs, specifically how they connect with each other. It highlights the idea that while individuals may not fully understand themselves, others, particularly INTJs, can offer insights. The chapter suggests that INTJs play a crucial role in the lives of INFPs by helping them gain a better understanding of their own feelings and identity. Additionally, it alludes to another purpose that INTJs serve for INFPs, which will be explored in a separate discussion.
• 29:00 - 30:30: ENFJs The intps are discussed in detail focusing on how ENFJs feel more in tune with intps compared to other types. The narrator expresses their initial belief that only intps could understand their perspective, which led them to seek out conversations with intps.
• 30:30 - 35:00: ENFPs The chapter reflects on the characteristics of INTPs from the perspective of an individual who identifies with certain aspects of this personality type. The individual is frustrated by recognizing unwanted traits in others that they dislike in themselves. This irritation is compounded by the perception that they have already addressed these flaws within their own behavior, leading to impatience with others who display them.
• 35:00 - 41:00: ISTJs The chapter titled 'ISTJs' begins with a conversation hinting at a moment of self-reflection where someone questions if they indeed appear or behave a certain way. It indicates a sense of realization or concern about one's self-image. The chapter shifts focus to INTps, suggesting that perceptions and purposes of these personality types have evolved over the years, with typology offering insights into finding individuals who share strikingly similar traits and characteristics. This highlights the uncanny way typology can connect those who are almost identical in personality.
• 41:00 - 45:00: ISFJs The chapter discusses how an individual interacts with people of the INTP personality type. The person feels confident in using the thoughts and conclusions of INTPs as reliable stand-ins on complex subjects until they have their own understanding. This indicates a level of trust in the INTP's way of thinking and their understanding of topics.
• 45:00 - 47:00: ESTJs The chapter titled 'ESTJs' discusses the approach to decision-making by relying on precedents and others' knowledge. The speaker mentions comfort in using others' decisions as a template if they are similar to what they would decide in those situations, allowing them time to develop their own method. The chapter ends with a personal note that the speaker generally doesn't tend to associate with INTPs.
• 47:00 - 49:00: ESFJs The chapter explores how discussions can turn from understanding and refreshing to tense and confrontational. As conversations progress, both parties initially enjoy exchanging viewpoints and insights, but tension builds as disagreements emerge. The metaphor of 'pulling knives out of pockets' illustrates the underlying tension and potential for conflict as differing opinions come to light.
• 49:00 - 51:00: ISTPs In this chapter titled 'ISTPs,' the focus is on a discussion about personality types, specifically ISTPs. The narrator recounts an experience with an INTP individual they encountered at university. It centers around their conversation about government, highlighting the complexities in perspectives and the conclusion of agreeing to disagree on certain aspects. This illustrates the fundamental differences in personality types and the fact that some disagreements may not be reconciled but can be respectfully acknowledged.
• 51:00 - 54:00: ISFPs The chapter 'ISFPs' delves into a conversation where two individuals acknowledge and appreciate each other's perspectives. They explore a point of fundamental disagreement, focusing on one individual's trust in authorities contrasted with the other's skepticism. The discussion highlights how such fundamental differences in beliefs and feelings can be challenging to reconcile.
• 54:00 - 56:00: ESTPs The chapter focuses on the nature of ESTPs and their inclination to form opinions and feelings prior to considering factual information. It emphasizes that even when ESTPs use facts to support their feelings, the initial stance is typically influenced by their instincts and emotions rather than empirical data. The chapter also touches upon the challenges of engaging in arguments with certain personality types, such as INTPs, who may be too prideful to concede in debates.
• 56:00 - 60:00: ESFPs and Conclusion The chapter discusses the personality type ESFPs and concludes by touching on the nature of human logic as it pertains to INTPs (another personality type). It highlights that the views held by individuals often stem from an illogical place even though they might appear logical at first glance. This chapter points out the frustration caused by the INTPs' tendency to mask their illogical reasoning and how this trait can lead to people, like the author, choosing to avoid having INTPs in their circle.

16 Personalities in My Life (INTP) Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 what's going on boys today we are talking a bit about all 16 types specifically the ways I like each type operating in my life we'll go in 16p order starting with intjs now the intjs I've most enjoyed interacting with have not served material purposes
• 00:30 - 01:00 actually maybe they have just a little bit but we'll get to that typically when an intj is in my life I am using them for vibing the intjs I tend to get along with often feel overwhelmed by life and they aren't trying to Sovereign citizen logic their way into thinking everything is supposed to be Dandy so when I'm speaking with them I feel I can relate
• 01:00 - 01:30 with them regarding circumstances but the ways those circumstances affect them and the ways they deal with them are completely different and I'm normally not big on letter dichotomies because they can trick you into thinking things that are not the case but in this instance they're useful for understanding you're interacting with
• 01:30 - 02:00 another introverted intuitive thinker whose function stack is completely different from yours meaning in my eyes you look like me you talk like me you Vibe like me but you are not me it's like getting trapped in the same cell for the same crime with someone from a completely different planet I get to be
• 02:00 - 02:30 stressed sad and analytical with someone whose unhappiness is almost identical yet their thoughts on why we're unhappy and what they're going to do about it are different and often in a productive way if I'm not mistaken Nietzsche was the one who said something about why do I need the key to my cage we
• 02:30 - 03:00 could have keys to each other's gauges but not to our own intj nailed what purpose intjs I like serve in my life their other useful purpose which I want to talk more about in a different video is intjs are like INFJs for fi types meaning intjs are good at getting a sense of what an fi type might be
• 03:00 - 03:30 feeling and why better than any other fi type in my experience intps I am picky about the intps I interact with these days in times past I used to seek out intps specifically to speak with because when I first got into typology I thought intps were the only people who would ever be able to understand me or I
• 03:30 - 04:00 could ever understand that is not the case and most intps these days really get under my skin not because there's necessarily anything wrong with them but more because when I look at them I see bad parts of myself and that's irritating either because I've already fixed that thing and why are you burdening people with this thing I'm so smart I fixed why
• 04:00 - 04:30 can't you fix it or holy is that really what I look like do I really act like that oh no now in recent years intps I like have come to serve a different purpose one of the great things about typology is you really can find people who are almost identical to you eerily identical
• 04:30 - 05:00 to you meaning once I've identified an INTP I am confident enough thinks the way I do I'll use them for shortcuts if there is a complicated subject I know nothing about I'll use their thoughts or conclusions as tentative but almost 100 percent stand-ins until I can get my own head
• 05:00 - 05:30 around things if precedent shows they would make decisions almost identical to decisions I have made or would make in these circumstances I don't feel uncomfortable using their knowledge as a schema until I can flesh out my own then generally I tend not to hang out with intps
• 05:30 - 06:00 because as our conversations progress even though it feels refreshing hearing someone's points and understanding how they came to those conclusions it always feels like we are slowly pulling knives out of our pockets the further in we go because the moment we disagree on something it will be on a
• 06:00 - 06:30 fundamental level and you can't work through or fix that you either agree to disagree or you stab each other for example this one INTP dude I went to University with and I got into a conversation about government and we got comfortable and talked for a long time but although we agreed to disagree on some
• 06:30 - 07:00 things but they were small things I can see why you would think that oh I see why you would think that that's really cool that we can mutually see why each other would think that that's so cool we finally got down to a fundamental disagreement he trusted authorities I didn't don't if you try to argue past one of these fundamental things you are arguing feelings and instincts
• 07:00 - 07:30 not facts even if you can back up your feelings and instincts with facts it doesn't change the fact your opinion your feeling on something came first you're using facts to back it up not developing your stance from the facts that's one of the reasons I tend not to argue with people and especially not intps intps generally are too proud to admit a
• 07:30 - 08:00 thought they hold strongly comes from a place outside logic and they are sharp enough to hide that well maybe not even realize that's what they're doing all humans are like that but intps are particularly frustrating about it hence why I tend not to keep any intps around me
• 08:00 - 08:30 entjs entjs are like drugs once we connect on that personal level there is no mild standard measured anything there is not even a formal Baseline for me to return to ingesting entj is fun enlightening life-changing and dangerous
• 08:30 - 09:00 terribly dangerous as in once you choose synapses have connected you're either going somewhere beautiful or you're going straight into a wall at 120 miles per hour these days in my life with entjs I keep things 100 formal even if I am certain that human element
• 09:00 - 09:30 is there that connection could exist or if I think we're going to connect or should connect I ensure there are Escape Routes everywhere literally physically and mentally when I connect with an entj really connect I cannot stop thinking about them and I suspect that goes both ways because once
• 09:30 - 10:00 we've connected entjs do really stupid around me so really I don't keep en DJs in my life these days not on a personal level I'm not opposed to it but I don't know how to develop safeties for once things are in motion I can prepare all kinds of safeties beforehand
• 10:00 - 10:30 but once the train is moving neither of us seem to have any ability to control what's going to happen For Better or For Worse short of ejecting 110 percent very early but that in and of itself is just a less explosive way of ending the connection not keeping it going I have
• 10:30 - 11:00 every single thought and feeling a person can have about Ian DJs but for right now the one that wins out is proceed with caution entps they're similar to intps in the sense the more of them I interact with the more they annoy me but
• 11:00 - 11:30 I like them as Jammers they're like radar jammers I am good and getting better at using Fe one-on-one it almost comes naturally unfortunately in most of life you will not be one-on-one with a person you are not close with and you will never be 100 one-on-one in the social sphere so when
• 11:30 - 12:00 I'm trying to perform subtle Effie activities including information gathering or winning specific friends and influencing specific people entps are good at making Fe waves big enough most people will be paying attention to or reacting to them
• 12:00 - 12:30 and that doesn't mean entps are being loud or boisterous or controversial it means they are socializing in a way that draws attention you can be nice and draw attention in an entp ish manner now I have had a number of entp mentors and most of my heroes are entps es but those aren't the sorts of people
• 12:30 - 13:00 you seek out to serve a purpose they more just happen INFJs I used to like them as confidants but I'm finding fi confidants feel more rewarding in the self sphere anyway if I were to use an infj in a similar position now they would be more an Effie strategist as I said with intps previously the way
• 13:00 - 13:30 I sometimes use other intps knowledges schemas I would use an INFJs Fe strategies thoughts knowledge as a schema toward Effie ends however I prefer doing that kind of work manually myself now so I can learn it nowadays
• 13:30 - 14:00 what I use INFJs for primarily is another set of hands in my corner once an infj and I pass each other's we're cool checks even when we don't become close personal friends it seems like the moment my gut tells me a bad social situation is about to pop up I can look
• 14:00 - 14:30 over and the infj I have made cool with is already looking at me and now we are getting ready without saying anything to do something about what's about to happen most Fe types you're synced up with will be kind of like that but INFJs are very quick about it and they're some of the few people I can communicate with without speaking that is very hard for
• 14:30 - 15:00 me infps two purposes the first one more reptilian infps always seem to be part of something they seem drawn to communities despite introversion fi dominance I think it has something to do with Nemesis Fe if you want to join a community or in a business sense maybe an
• 15:00 - 15:30 exclusive field reliant on contacts an infp can make that happen now whether an infp gets you into a creepy High Society party or a creepy Discord server will depend on the infp but each one always seems to be connected to a group of people people with specific interests I mean second purpose less reptilian
• 15:30 - 16:00 physical touch is in my top two Love Languages and I never ever act on it as in I know I'm going to die wishing my family and I hugged each other more but it just doesn't happen now again how or why this came about I have no idea but all the infps I have been close with have hugged me often now
• 16:00 - 16:30 typically I hate when people touch me much less hug me partially because don't touch me and partially because I don't want to touch or hug or be physically close with people I don't trust and I don't really trust anybody but after a point the infps I've been close with have
• 16:30 - 17:00 hugged me and while I'm still not 100 percent comfortable with it it's like laying the groundwork for trust that could be there and that's appreciated and again this does not happen with other types for some reason enfjs I don't keep enfjs in my life I haven't studied them at length even
• 17:00 - 17:30 though I've tried on and off here and there most enfjs I end up interacting with bug me I don't hate them but from what I've seen I don't go out of my way to find them enfps they serve a similar purpose to intjs but less from the or not at all from the introverted intuitive thinker side and
• 17:30 - 18:00 more from the pure perceiver side when I meet relatable enfps they are very relatable in the sense or to the degree they are some of the only people I feel like I can be just normal ass friends with now again finding enfps on the same wavelength can
• 18:00 - 18:30 be a challenge but it can be worth the effort because it sometimes feels nice to feel human and for me enfps differ from infps in this department in that infps even ones I like and feel close with have that degree of spikiness that rigidity I feel on edge even if I don't want to enfps I'm close with do not give
• 18:30 - 19:00 me that vibe enfps are undoubtedly spikier can be and I don't know why but I don't feel that degree of spikiness around them I don't feel like I'm walking on eggshells around them even if with the infp I shouldn't need to istjs it might sound stereotypical but if you have s-i and no isdjs
• 19:00 - 19:30 good SI is hard to come by and I like using them as living reference books this role differs from intps role in the sense istj's role is more textured meaning I'll use an intps knowledge if I need to make a quick decision results oriented
• 19:30 - 20:00 I'll use an istjs information for what the experience might be like how it might feel how they felt about it for instance I want to learn to code I go to an INTP if I need recommendations for courses or materials or companies whatever I go to an istj
• 20:00 - 20:30 for what does it feel like to be a professional coder how do you feel about where your profession might be in the next 10 years what are some of your favorite or least favorite moments regarding coding and in istj will give you detailed information about whatever sort of
• 20:30 - 21:00 life experience you're interested in you can't walk a mile in a person's shoes but an istj can break down what it feels like to walk a mile in those shoes pretty well isfjs I don't have any isfjs in my life anymore and I don't feel compelled to seek them out if I had to they would serve the same purpose as INFJs do but
• 21:00 - 21:30 with a slight delay and the reason I don't seek out isfjs too much anymore because the ones I liked were good mostly for keeping me updated on people and helping me learn heavy stuff and the ones I didn't like were everything I dislike about intps Amplified by a hundred currently They don't serve a purpose in
• 21:30 - 22:00 my life and they probably won't anytime soon probably estjs I like them as measuring sticks generally speaking an ESTJ is going to do what Society expects of them and while they'll probably be pretty good at it there is a huge range of money
• 22:00 - 22:30 within what Society expects of a person this is a little hard to explain but if you are following an atypical life path estjs are good for measuring how you're doing and if you're friends with them that can become a mutually supportive process too you can get typical help and you can provide atypical help esfjs
• 22:30 - 23:00 similar to the other fjs except I like keeping in contact with certain esfjs Just for information gathering or just receiving gossip however you want to put it istps I like them as sound boards if I'm having trouble with a problem I
• 23:00 - 23:30 can't figure it out and I don't think I'll be able to figure it out I like troubleshooting what's wrong with istps almost always 30 seconds of the conversation they'll hit me with a have you tried this and it'll be something I haven't tried that was directly in front of my face but I never would have thought of and that solution usually fixes it and then when I need to make a big
• 23:30 - 24:00 decision I like asking istps not what I should do but what they think about it what they think about the situation any Vibes they're getting off at istp Vibes are powerful and while you shouldn't ask an istp for an answer asking for their thoughts can help you avoid pitfalls and make better decisions
• 24:00 - 24:30 isfps I tend not to keep them around the cool ones are cool the definition of chill but not enlightening at least not for me not yet I have a feeling there is a lot I can learn from isfps but I don't even have the framework to try to figure out what that might be yet and then the uncool isfps are extremely
• 24:30 - 25:00 uncool they're like bad intjs on steroids the role isfps tend to play in my life is person who is down to do something now I don't seek people like that out these days because I don't do or the I do I do alone but every isfp I've known
• 25:00 - 25:30 always invites me to do minor menial stuff or is down to do minor menial stuff it's kind of heartwarming but it's not something I seek out estps I haven't studied estps anywhere near as much as I'd like to I can't say anything about them in general right now but the few estps I have regularly
• 25:30 - 26:00 interacted with I've used like istps on on steroids I'm gonna say that again an amped up version of istps I'm looking forward to studying them more because I like esdps in general but I haven't had the Hands-On time with them I've had with other types esfps money managers I haven't hard studied it
• 26:00 - 26:30 but I've noticed a pattern esfps seem to get pretty good with money in their late 20s enough so I've seen esfps not always but enough to mention out compete TJ's in business finance they make great entrepreneurs so while I have
• 26:30 - 27:00 no esfps in my life right now there were a number of esfps in my vicinity I would communicate with and watch with interest and based on other esfps I think that type hits some kind of spike in their late 20s early 30s at which point if they haven't already taken off
• 27:00 - 27:30 they develop the capacity to take off more than other types not doing a summary this time my voice is giving out and I'm exhausted but that about rippity grabs this one up I hope you enjoyed watching because I certainly enjoyed making it tired like if you enjoyed because we got a lot subscribe if you haven't because we do this sometimes then comment your thoughts because I love hearing from you what purposes do different types serve
• 27:30 - 28:00 in your life thanks again for watching everybody really we have a lot of fun on this channel so much fun in fact you can fluff it up and then lie your head down on it and pass out because sleeping is very very fun that's what we have on this channel and I look forward to doing this with you guys again and the future
