Myers Briggs Personality Type, Part 1: What are you?

Are you an ENFP? ISFJ? ENFJ? ISTP? What do these types mean, and where do they come from?

This video is the first in a very long, comprehensive series of videos about the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Inventory. I'll eventually be going over single type in great detail, as well as how they come about.

Part 1: Today I'm just going over the framework of the rest of the videos, and a bit of history. If you're interested, please subscribe, as I'm going to be putting out around one video every 1-2 days. The total series may be around 16 videos long.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me.

I don't think permutations is the right word because then you'd have (2 choose 1)^4 * 4! = 16 * 24 = 384 permutations, since order doesn't count. So (2 choose 1)^4 = 16 combinations is a better statement.

I'm an INTP, and not only have I been tested in the personality, I have also been referred as an INTP (e.g. Architects), as I ace tests by taking fundamental theories and manipulating them into the real thing. I personally like ESTJs or INFJs, which is consistent to what I've heard about MBTI.

@OMFGandFTW Lol, you're right. I should've said combinations.  Damn...good catch! :)

I am an INTP and I use to work as a cashier. I found all the different types of customers so different, yet fascinating , and that's what motivated me to understand people and get into the MBTI . The MBTI helped me a lot with that job, in understanding people and how to get a long in harmony. It's not perfect, but that's because people vary a lot. It's definitely a great tool that's for sure.

I like your personality.

@barcode9588 As an additional note, my pointing out your flaws was also pointless, so I'm probably just as flawed as I claim you to be. :P Again, I'm referring to "OMFGandFTW".

Im an INFP, I tried to avoid it and deny for ages, twisted by questions on tests to what I would like them to be, but in the end I had to accept it, I am INFP.

Im sure I possess positive personality traits and I know that even if typed, everyone is still an individual so one INFP will not be the same as another, but I feel that the negatives outweigh the positives.

I can't stay and watch this, I have a social gathering to attend, and people in elevators to talk to on the way.

INTJ here, 15 years old. Malaysian. lol almost 2 years of experience.

Same here, but instead I try understand their mind and manipulate them, no not like ENTJs, dominating and overpowering others. I try strategizing ways to approach them, only people who I'm Really interested.

And since you're an INTP, I don't suppose you like much strategizing as I did. Instead, you like theories more.

Nice to meet 'cya barcode9588.

Oh yeah, since I live in Malaysia, there's no such kind of MBTI books there. =(

[soccerboyAT]
