Myers Briggs, Part 3A: Sensing/Intuition

[Lucianamsimon]

I am an ENSP and I have one simple question for you: where can I find the real Myers/Brigg test, the big one, that we must pay to do it? Thank you very much. i find your information very good and you are very clear on the way you express yourself.

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

sensing and intuition are not functions. Se Ne Ni and Si are functions. These four functions are VERY different..... I haven't watched your other videos, but I hope you realize taht the MBTI EXAM is really just a simplification of Jung's theory. Jung originally identified 8 functions: Ni (xNxJ) Ne (xNxP) Si (xSxJ) Se (xSxP) Ti (xxTP) Te(xxTJ) Fi (xxFP) Fe (xxFJ)

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

@o00o0o0o0o0o But it's very difficult to create an exam testing for all 8 functions...... SOOOOOO some smart guy came (donno if it was Jung or somebody else) and found a way to deduce these 8 functions through an examamoination of some newly introduced parameters: "extroversion, introversion" "percieving, judging"

These parameters however are NOT psychological functions. They are only useful for DEDUCING a person's pscyhological functions.

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

@o00o0o0o0o0o

Introverted Intuition "Ni" is very different from Extroverted Intuition "Ne".

A person with Ni takes facts/rules/categories, doesn't really examine them, but puts them in a system, and understands how the system of interrelating facts/rules/categories works (especially when having to achieve a goal/result), and how it can be used.

A person with Ne is more prone to examination/interpretation of single facts/rules/categories, but not a strong systemization of multiple.

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

@o00o0o0o0o0o Thus, Ne and Ni are separate, and those with ENTP/INFP/INTP/ENFP should be seperate from those of INTJ/ENTJ/INFJ/ENFJ.

The former group can perform similar "Ne" with a level of success better than the latter group.

The latter group can perform "Ni" tasks with a level of success better than the former group.

Thus, it is most accurate to split NJ's from NP's because they differ drastically, while the distinction between NT's and NF's, or EN's and IN's isn't large.

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

@o00o0o0o0o0o the last paragraph meaning if we differed only those mentioned letters and kept the other letters the same.

yay wasting time on youtube w/ mbti shit D:

[Spectic]

Just wanted to say I hope you don't take my criticisms the wrong way. I appreciate the research you've done and do not doubt you are much more intelligent than me (this is intended as fact, not sucking up or whatever you call it), but I don't think the types can be analysed in a purely dichotomatical fashion. There's much detail they don't explain and much more crossover.

[QueenSemiramis]

I'm totally working on a short story called...'The Hidden'!!!

;)

[stonerace19]

I think you could use Tesla vs Edison to make this distinction more clearly. Tesla envisioned his ideas and sorted out all details before taking action. Edison started building first then saw how it went along the way. Hence Tesla's total lack of respect for Edison's " Genuis is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" quote.

[druglover200]

i did a test came out to 47% sensor 53% intuition.

[RBNightlinger]

Sensore are linear thinkers. They go from point A to point B to point C. Intuitives, grasping the big picture almost instantly, go from point A to point E and then on to point K.

I find talking to Sensors tedious in the extreme. They're so focused on the details that they rarely come to an understanding of the whole.

[OmarDelfinity]

I like to categorize sensors as the Pragmatic types and "intuitives" as the Visionary types.

[noobler9]

the mannerisms of putting oneself upon a pedestal still slip through, good work overall in dealing with the issue as best as possible in a non-biased way

[mickeymouse12678]

I wouldn't say "higher intelligence," but rather "higher IQ." And we all no that there is no real way to measure intelligence. IQ is a very poor way to consider intelligence.

[littleflowwer]

I'm an ISTP. this made me feel like shit.

lol

No actually I love mysterious things, but that could be due to the not know what someone is thinking(T), and (P), MY mind loves the challenge of the multiple possiblities.

And I'm not materialistic at all, but I do see people that are materialistic for being that. So maybe...Idk... This sucks.

[Radzell]

I'm INTj and INTP split between 53% towards the J and i am doing research on Myer Briggs what books are you using or articles or websites.

[HaveLucidDreamz]

I like these videos, l just think when you were talking through all this I realized something very interesting about Sensing and Intuition.

Do you go to any forums on MBTI?

[kellann55]

Im INFP and I see myself more in YOU than I do in other INFP videos!! My "T" is high though...about 45% so I guess you can call me INXP perhaps? :o)

[GearsofFate101]

you said titration, oh god, chemistry memories coming back.

[sandbar3000]

Well, it's interesting that you say that sensors like details or and N's can see the big picture. Interestingly enough - when I did take the real MBTI in '04 and in '05 my S and J where in the "high" part. The E/I and the T/F was more in the moderate zone.

[samanthalynn6790]

Other NT females are quite hard to find, so I admire you by default. I'm xNTP leaning ever so slightly more toward extroversion.

[AvaDiCosta]

Join the club. We're pretty uncommon (ENTP women), so It's nice to find another!

[squirtleman20]

INFJ and INTJ is what i've gotten..

[Shadoessa]

From one INTP female to another, you are my hero. Honestly. Your words of sarcasm and cynicism make me happy.

[vjohnso1]

I am between INTJ and INTP. it depends on if I am particularly moody and dramatic that day.

[chrispaquette]

wow u keep going off topic, i cant keep watching

[MapleCap]

..Haha. People tend to call those, "examples". Try to keep up ;)

[DecimusAquila]

I'm Either an INTJ or an ISTJ, I've gotten slighty diffrent results on tests.

[000majorwinters000]

Have you figured it out? I think, as the videos say, there's a big difference when a person is either focusing on the big picture or the specific details of a situation, although I was only able to clearly identify myself as an N when I realized I was living with an S.

[littleflowwer]

@000majorwinters000

but really the specific details of a situation are more important because they give us the facts and the facts show us why people do things. If we observe the facts then we can come to a conclusion as to why people do things and the bigger picture may not seem as clear anymore.

Coming from and ISTP (I guess I'm more rare than an INTP)

[000majorwinters000]

@littleflowwer Well, it is true that intuition, and more specifically introverted intuition, combined with, say, dominant feeling, will tend to have a person notice less of factual reality, in the worst cases allowing people to delude themselves into perceiving the world they only want to see, but I don't think that either form of information gathering is better or worse. Each has their purpose, but I think both should strive for a certain balance. I believe it can go a long way.

[littleflowwer]

@000majorwinters000

Yes, I have a friend and her boyfriend is an ENFP.. Even the little things, like if I am in a bad mood, he thinks I don't like him or something, when really I'm just not AS social as him number 1, number 2 he is very pushy, number 3 I don't know him that well and am a little bit intimidated by him and number 4 I'm thinking about how he see's me and I don't want to say anything that will "hurt his feelings" or make hime thing that "I don't like him"... What should I do??

[000majorwinters000]

@littleflowwer Hmm, well I wouldn't really know what advice to give in this situation. I used to life with an ENFP as well, and I can see how one of them could be overbearing.. but I just don't have enough to go on to really advise you here. I tend not to get along well with most extroverts in general, actually. The focus is very different.

[000majorwinters000]

@littleflowwer Just as an example, I have noticed that I'm able to come to conclusions a lot faster then one of my ISFJ parents in particular, and I do a lot more brainstorming then the ISFJ does. However, I can't possibly take care of my surroundings as well as she does. The ISFJ also tends to notice when even some of the smallest details around me have changed, and tends to focus on it, whereas I'm more worried about the consequences of my current actions in the near future. Gifts differing!

[e521soediv]

dude me too DecimusAquila

[bulls7123]

ISTJ!!!!!

[luzian]

I like how you have a setup for your youtube broadcast, your desk, lamp and clock that is shown at a very "round" time to indicate your orderly scheduled broadcast.

[Mewstor151]

I find that maybe since I'm 100% iNtuitive, I'm able to type people just by looking at them; and I'm always right. Anybody else like this?

[000majorwinters000]

You might have a bit of J in you as well.

[Mewstor151]

E 95% N 100% T 90% J 95%

:)

[000majorwinters000]

Ah, okay.

[Eskay0304]

1satyagraha is absolutely right.

first of all I agree with you that all people regardless of personality types are all equal right? Just because most N are more intelligent and most S are more artistic

[roofdoubleflip]

Too many details for me!

-ENFP

[daylightsun]

Hey I'm still ENTJ oh yeah !!

[raigekimaru]

I am SOO "N". INFP. I can process information like a computer and come up with answers without being able to explain any of it, but I I have like no footing in reality whatsoever.

[DragonFly122]

"but I have like no footing in reality whatsoever"

I'm like that too. I'm known as the absent minded professor. Reality sucks.

[luzian]

Such an INFP thing to say. I think INFPs have it the worst. It seems they are overpowered by society. And it doesn't help that you guys resort to nothing other than feeling bad about it.

[raigekimaru]

actually, I'm really more of an ENFP. Fi is my dominant function but I've learned to used Ne so well that it's actually stronger than my Fi (hence my loud craziness) so I essentially switched types. you're right though, society can tend to be very anti NP

PS: I'm going to be an entrepreneur so when I go into crazy business mode, I'm convincingly ENTJ (you don't want to mess with me in this state of mind lol)

[000majorwinters000]

@raigekimaru Actually, according to the functions, INFP is among a few types that has Fi as a dominant function. ENFP's actually do have Ne as a dominant function. Ne is my secondary function.

[acmedressform]

i'm an extroverted sensor, and it's not that I'm not intelligent, but I get impatient with abstract conceptual stuff. I like to make things...practical stuff, rather than just acquiring knowledge. That's just me

[1satyagraha1]

sorry if that wasnt clear...its hard to explain shit clearly when you have only 500 characters.

[yay1912]

I usually get 90-100% N

[mastermindrational]

Strange. I tend to surround myself with the same people.

Just broke up with an ESFX. Seemed like the sweetest girl-turns out, she cheated on her bf (of 3.5 yrs.) with me,breaks up with him,tells me she "loves me", then gets back with her bf the next week, tells me she meant what she said about me the next week.

Me: "If you love me, then y get back with him?"

Her: "I care about him."

illogical, insecure, stupid, impulsive, etc. -I def. understand your frustrations w/ XSFXs

[DragonFly122]

I feel your pain in dealing with SFs. I can't stand xSFJs and their damn histrionics.

[mastermindrational]

Anybody else here test as 100% "N"?

[UziSprayTF]

99% N over here.

[mastermindrational]

Ever realize that you just simply get along better with "N" types?

[UziSprayTF]

For the most part, as I really like hanging out with INTJs (I'm an ENTJ) but ESTJs are cool too. I always find myself dating ENFJs. I just get really frustrated with XSFXs.

[mastermindrational]

uzi...sorry if there were multiple, repeated replies...I'm brand new to youtube

[DragonFly122]

I once got 100% N.

[eblsymk]

how convenient is it that our host is an "N" who happens to be more intelligent? hah...now granted I am an "N" myself but pretty much treating "S" like they are neanderthals? hmm...not sure about that.

[Tgruss]

intelligence is arbitrary, it depends upon your values.

Someone who is a star athlete has a high spacial (as in the space around you and the ability to devise and carry out a course of action within the physical world) intelligence while a psychologist must have a high emotional intelligence (understanding whats cause certain emotions and why. People who exhibit high emotional intelligence are often have wonderful social skills and make excellent social workers, teachers, mental health pros).

[000majorwinters000]

@Tgruss Very good remark here. (I meant to thumbs up the comment and accidentally thumbed it down, sorry!)

[UziSprayTF]

Ns are much, much more likely to be intelligent. Hands down. That's ok though, intelligence isn't everything.

[rsxhitman]

this is correct, however intelligence wont go far in relationships, family matters, or "tribal" affairs, however as raw intelligence goes, the n is gonna win

[GBoCookies]

Intuition is like, a free association/connection of tons of different ideas floating around in your head. Sensing is more or less more vivid sensory data, and a more down to earth M.O. Intuitives tend to be more creative and philosophical, while sensors tend to be more adept at physical things and linear thinking. Intuitives also tend to be more innovative, whilst sensors tend to face problems head-on. They see what could be, rather than just see what is.

[GS416492]

Dear Barcode,

Again, I regret doing this to you, but...

-you totally have a preference for extraverted thinking.

-"more intelligent people tent to be 'intuitives'"? is still a bunch awfully untrue, and a horrible thing to say.

-Please be careful not to negatively charactarize sensing. Your discription probably doesn't fit with people who prefer extraverted sensing.

[twitch115]

Statistically speaking, such a statement isn't incorrect. Besides, she went out of her way to disclaim any negativity about sensing.

[barcode9588]

As twitch115 mentioned, statistically speaking this is not incorrect. But again, like I mentioned, this is a correlation and a correlation only. I made sure to point that out. For example, just because many bananas are yellow, it does not mean that if something is yellow it is a banana, and if something is a banana it must be yellow. You sound like a logical mind, so I'm laying it out for you like this. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comments.

[GS416492]

A correllation? It's a combination of a text that is right at most 3/4 of the time, and another test that arguably has nothing to do with intelligence. Mentioning a supposed correlation without mentioning the above is still a slight.

[GS416492]

ooops. I meant 'test'.

"For example, just because many bananas are yellow, it does not mean that if something is yellow it is a banana, and if something is a banana it must be yellow. You sound like a logical mind, so I'm laying it out for you like this."

More extraverted Thinking!! Please, pleaaase read a definition of extraverted thinking. Yes, just because most bannana's are yellow... we can all agree on that. A typical attribute of an extraverted thinking rationale.

[GS416492]

just to clarify, "INTJ" is my guess. What I am 100% sure of is that you prefer extraverted thinking.

[barcode9588]

I am willing to consider your ideas, however, you obviously are not willing to consider mine. You must be a J. Insert sarcasm here.

[GS416492]

what bothers me is that you don't seem to care how 'more intelligent in general' sounds. I don't believe that any type is 'more intelligent', and while you might say that there are no 'better' or 'worse' types (which is completely true), I'm not surre that you yourself believe it.

[barcode9588]

As you yourself have accurately put it, I have actively in my videos attempted to discount the myth that there are better or worse types. I'm glad we agree on that. So what seems to be the problem?

[MoondropButtons]

Haha! GS416492 you've been commenting on every video so far. I like to read you 2 arguing though coz its helping me understand it all better!- seeing it from 2 peoples point of view I'm getting the best of both worlds!

Wahey! Keep up the complaints (:

...but be nice!

[DragonFly122]

"more intelligent people tent to be 'intuitives'"? is still a bunch awfully untrue, and a horrible thing to say.

-Please be careful not to negatively charactarize sensing. Your discription probably doesn't fit with people who prefer extraverted sensing. "

I don't think that she was saying anything bad about sensors,it's just a correlation. There's an (on socionics) ESFJ with an IQ of 140. Despite being a Sensor, she was the dreamy type.

[arzdiamondbacks]

of course people with high IQ's tend to be intuitives. but then again, it all comes down to how we define intelligence. N types as a whole have higher quantitative, spatial, and verbal IQ's than S types, but probably not higher kinesthetic IQ.

[1satyagraha1]

I think that IQ tests only test for specific types of intelligence when we know there are many. I doubt this is a good measure of the minds capability. Just think of its diversity from person to person...not to mention its complexity. take the maker of this video. Intelligent when it comes to theoretical systems but probably not so much interpersonally or artistically. Our strengths and weaknesses, like so many things in nature, balance out to an equalibrium. Thus we're all equal...S or N.

[spiritsA]

One of the thing INTP don't deal well with is the need to be politically correct since it's altering the truth.

[GS416492]

so what?

[DragonFly122]

GS416492, are you a sensor?

[RMCrowley]

do you have a myspace barcode9588??

mine is rmc313

[UziSprayTF]

See below comment first

Heck, my type is called the "Field Engineer" and I'm an ENTJ, my buddies type is called the Architect and he is an NT of some sort.

Unless by mechanical engineering you meant mechanics that fix cars, lol. Either way, I love your clips.

[UziSprayTF]

Engineering was a terrible choice of a profession. Engineers are NOTORIOUSLY NT, out of 100 people in my Civil engineering class 0 are SF, 5 are NF, 10 are ST, and 85 are NT. You should have chosen Accountants, who are obsessed about every last detail of their work. An engineer would say, "I think a shell based super structure might reduce concrete costs for this project" an accountant would say "I think your for 1B subsection 11.1.34.4 is incorrectly filled out."

[barcode9588]

Hmm...I was referring more to hardware/circuitry  engineering professions. Maybe I should have been more specific. But you're right, most engineering disciplines are very NT. Maybe I should have been more specific and used Mechanic.

[wonkerman4]

i dont understand, she said shes an INTP in the 2nd video so if you say most engineers are NT whats the problem??

btw, INFP here.

[Eclipseooo]

"Again, if you have questions please feel free to me a YouTube message."

edit your video description.. lol

[barcode9588]

Done.  Thanks for pointing that out.

[smileynat89]

I bet it's just cuz N types are drawn toward the intellectual stuff so they get recognized for their intelligent minds while all us S types are out bowling. =P

[DragonFly122]

"More intelligent people tend to be intuitive...." Sweet.

[barcode9588]

You've missed the point, lol. I was trying to dispel that myth! It's a correlation...and nothing but a correlation!

[rollersan2k7]

I don't believe what you say in the end of this video. Yes, ISTP's and INTP's tend to correct others, but they generally are very tolerant and dont try to make others shut up when BS is coming from other persons. Atleast not with my experiences with them. It's more so with INTJ's, or even more with ISTJ's.

But what I've noticed is that both ISTP and INTP always speak tactlessly, it's very annoying. And when you complain about it they always seem to give up and not finnishing the conversation.

[theinsfrijonds]

Oh and N > S!

[theinsfrijonds]

Awesome videos! It nice to have you do the legwork of explaining the MBTI to my friends rather than me!  Thx

[INTJ24]

" INTP and INTJ ...verbally precise,

if you are bullshitting we will call you on it and shut you up "

A likely case

However, you repeat yourself

is this from anxiety ?

or the fact that some need both

elaboration and iteration ?

I am an INFJ by the way

[FunkyFiat]

Hey... just a minor detail... You say you're an INFJ, but your nickname states that you're a INTJ. So, which one is it? :) I don't mean to be picky. I'm an INFJ myself.

[INTJ24]

i keep testing INTJ

but my behavior and stuff makes me INFJ

and.....

when i test,

the T/F score are very close,

[FunkyFiat]

Ok, I see. :)

[d3vmusic]

:)... another great video ;)

[bLaSsSlAyEr]

obviously, you are an enneagram five. As most INTP & many INTJ are fives. And I really that many S(sensing) are enneagram one. Anyway, there is alot of interact with enneagram and mbti...so, wanna give more information??? here?

[barcode9588]

hmm, i actually have very little experience with the enneagram. i've read most of the books at my local library about it, but again, my knowledge of it is still quite superficial.

[bLaSsSlAyEr]

i really suggest you to learn what the enneagram does. I know INTP & INTJ love to learn, so do us? cuz we are INTP ryt? It's really fun when u know both of them...you kinda can look through others mind...

[bLaSsSlAyEr]

heya...long time no see..
