Hello dr ,i hope u are doing well.please i want u to invite an anesthesiologist . And please could u recommend me an interesting books in anesthesia and emergency medicine for first year resident
I will like to ask you, which is your opinion about the NERIS type explorer? I mean, it's almost like a mix between "the big five" and "the MBTI" so I don't really know if I can trust it. Thanks.
Personally tests also always bothered me because it’s about what you think of yourself. I may think I’m extroverted and cool headed but others may say I’m the opposite. How do you put this into consideration?
People are different in certain situations. Some traits are more useful in different situations. Answer the test based on whatever you are the majority of the time/if you had a choice of who to be with no negative external consequences, which would you pick/be. Idk
Dawn, I can relate to what you're saying. This issue of self awareness, others' opinions, etc. gets so complicated its hard to know what to say is most important. This very issue of WHO I SAY I AM, vs WHO OTHERS SAY I AM has been a burning question. Personality theory has been a passionate hobby of mine for 30 years (since age 16). not even kidding. I've recently had an earthquake, however... I knew about the Big 5, but could not see its value over the ever-popular MBTI. After my earthquake, and being forced to reconsider EVERYthing in life, I now see the flaws (that experts like the MedSchool Insider) have been stating. I do love the Big 5, as it really does show you HOW you are, compared to 99 other people. It is the first of its kind to use computational power with which to verify. You answer 100 questions and the computer tabulates your numbers in each of the 5 most common traits. With the MBTI, it was like a special award to receive the result of INFJ. It didn't cause any urge for change. After the epiphany of my Big 5 results, it has been difficult to accept the reality of me. But, with work, continual care, significant changes can come about. Learning where you are within the Big 5 is an excellent starting point to gain insight, self awareness and confidence. I recommend it. I like Jordan Peterson's site: www.understandmyself.com (And I like just about everything else about JP's classes, books and lectures!) Peace!
Everyone has their own interpretation of things. They see you a split sec or few minutes and make subjective opinions about you to themselves. Personality can swing drastically so dont take it as set in stone.
It is always very, very interesting to let a person do a personality test themselves, and then let their mother, their spouse or their best friend answer the same questions for them. The truth usually lies somewhere inbetween these two results, especially when spouses are questioned they tend to actually be very close to a persons actual personality. Mothers and friends, usually a bit off.
I just have doubts about personality tests in general. Traumatic events, or sometimes just powerful emotional events, can change a persons attitude and behavior, sometimes drastically.
suckitup babe of course they aren’t perfect, but the Meyers Briggs rest is meant to show you what traits you more likely use compared to what others use. What traits you use reflect your personality and how you think. That’s not to say that these traits that you prefer to use cannot be changed, but rather what traits you use in that moment. Childhood trauma and the environment you grow up in in general I think all play a role in what traits you will use thus giving you a certain viewpoint of the world, creating your personality and who you are. Not everyone is either one trait or the other(I.e extrovert or introvert) but rather somewhere in the middle, some are closer to extrovert and some are closer to introvert, but yes a traumatic event could occur and make an extrovert Become more introverted depending on how they perceived the event. Also some people change over time as they grow. Sorry for the rant I just wanted to help you understand the correlation that I see between your personality and events that change how you view the world like you said. Hope I helped!
Attitude and behaviour can change a lot for all sorts of reasons, but cognitive functions not, that's why Carl Jung's model is still better than the big 5 for example. The big 5 relies only on behaviour which is the worst thing you could do to classify personalities. I can be smiling and thinking that I hate that person but just pretend i don't to avoid conflict. What tells more about me? The fact that I'm smiling? The fact that I hate my boss? Or the fact that I'd rather avoid conflict by smiling to someone I hate? Exactly, the third one. That's why Jung's cognitive function model is far better than the big five, that would only take into consideration that you smile to your boss. Maybe even that you hate your boss, but that's it.
@@Ignasimp No that's really not an issue for Big 5 to Big 10. If you tell the truth it's going to be accurate but if your boss will read it you will lie. There are companies out there, a lot actually, who are forbidden from using IQ tests so they fall back to Big 5. What do you mean behaviour changes? It really depends. Sometimes it absolutely doesn't, sometimes it changes drastically, other times it does just a bit and there's no way to predict that change beforehand. In fact, conscientiousness is still a very strong predictor so however good Jung might be (And I know nothing about his tests), if you do it before and after the change, results will also reflect that change. Behaviour doesn't change in a week. Or a month or a year, or even a decade depending on how relevant it is to you.
This is inaccurate. MBTI is not purely binary. It’s about preferences or tendencies. It doesn’t say you are one or the other. The types are based on the cognitive functions that Carl Jung noticed. They’re sometimes referred to as the Jungian Cognitive Functions. MBTI is also meant primarily for job and career environments. MBTI terms should not be taken with face value. Intuition is not about gut feeling. Feeling is not about emotions. And I doubt extroversion and introversion are about where a person draws there energy, since that’s not the definition that Carl Jung used.
@@hareotona The definition Carl Jung used, I'm not sure. I don't have a good understanding of it yet. All I know is that Carl Jung's definitions has something to do with objects in relation to the subject (as in the observer). Basically, what the person tends to focus on more. But he did also mention once that type is not static, it can change. But I'm not sure exactly what he was referring to when he said that. His views seem to be primarily philosophical and based on his personal interactions and observations.
@@hareotona in "personality types" he best describes it by "typing" cultures, not people. While the ancient Greeks were "introverted" and dealt primarily with inner problems, the Romans were extraverted and built and conquered. Or how you can compare Europe to the USA: thinkers vs engineers. In individuals it's the dichotomy between subjective and objective, between thought and sense. MBTI diverged a bit from theese definitions, but i don't know exactly how. Jung's definitions are however still applicable when dealing with cognitive functions (introverted thinking vs extraverted thinking for example)
Okay so, the MBTI tests actually mostly look at both that Mother-Daughter combination as well as Keirsey, both are very behavioral oriented, not cognitive function oriented. Most material on the Cognitive Functions isn't headed by or related to those, at least too much, instead, they rely on John Beebe's interpretation of Carl Jung's work, and sometimes additionally Dario Nardi's contribution in the neurology side of it. They are two separate things, but because they both pertain to Carl Jung's work, people accidentally group them together as both being "MBTI". I have not personally found a good test for the Cognitive functions, even if I do prescribe to the effectiveness of their uses as purely cognitive functions and do not directly affect behavior(even if they can do so indirectly).
@@hareotona Keirsey and MBTI define it as what most people think of. Carl Jung, John Beebe, and Dario Nardi all define it not how social you are but the "direction" the cognitive functions are going, also in their case all people use all functions, it's just a matter of preferences. Here a single example using one of the functions, Sensing as a function gathers the physical and concrete stimuli of one's environment or in oneself. Introverted Sensing gathers information about one's body and long term memory, while Extroverted Sensing gathers external physical stimuli, so it uses the physical sensory organs to pick up how something smells, feels, hears, and etc. So, long story short, it depends on the specific Cognitive Function if you look at it from their perspective.
People get different test results on the MBTI because a lot of people aren’t self-aware. You have to accurately know yourself to get the correct personality type results. However, even then some people reject the validity of their personality type because they see it as “a label.” MBTI is just a framework to understand and develop oneself. Unfortunately, your explanation of it was incomplete. The real basis of MBTI are the 8 cognitive functions, which were researched and created by a psychologist named Carl Jung. The letters mean little if you don’t understand the functions. That’s where most miss the mark with MBTI. It’s a lot more nuanced and complex than it seems. IMO it’s the most spot-on and helpful of all personality type tests.
Umm... doesn't explaing why questions are poorly worded, why some questions are too farfetched and there are some answers missing.. i would had liked to have "depends on situation" or "this isn't the only possible answer" on some of them. Wasn't there a study where the result was that in 5 weeks more than 80% of people that redid the test got different result? Also the final results are too binary. It gives a description about one part of you. You are not that thing it says you are.. that thing is one attribute, one description of what you are.. not the whole catalog of multiple traits you are mix of. Even if people "knew how to answer" and were "self-aware", even then the test would lack to give complex enought results to be accurate and thats partly because either questions aren't well put or there are too few picks to answer from. The test sucks. Get over it.
@@samamies88 But why i always got estj then? Since the first time i took the test, it always been estj. Even when i'm in a different mood. I took the test every 6 months tho, as what the web told me.
@@samamies88 depends on the language and which site you use. Tbh I never had a different result, but I guess it does actually depend on how well YOU know yourself. anyways bye :)
Yeahh when I did those normal personality type tests I always got infp or intp but I just never thought I fit into those personality types (I kinda believed I was an infp cause it did suit me a bit but some traits were off) I did thr cognitive functions test and then I realised I'm actually an enfp and I looked into it, I can say I'm definately very much an enfp💀

umm sir you forgot about the cognitive functions which is more important than the four leter type in MBTI. For example INTP has Ti Ne Si Fe-Te Ni Se Fi although the four letter type says its more thinking than feeling but the cognitive functions says it has feelings but it's inferior to thinking. It means that an INTP will decide about what is right before thinking about feelings i subbed btw
PREACH. People refer to MBTI as “fake” without redoing their research on cognitive functions and Jungian Theory. It’s a pseudoscience, I grudgingly agree, but it isn’t far from neuroscience imo.
I like the mbti theory a lot, even though I know it’s not very reliable for some people. A few years back it personally helped me understand myself better and I feel now a more confident person (I’m not saying that I think my personality is only based on my mbti type, it was reading other people and their situations and how they seemed to have a similar personality than me). I do it for the lols with friends and family even though I used to have an obsession for it lowkey hahah it’s still useful sometimes 🤠
As a psych major who graduated less than 2 years ago, I remember looking at the data for MBTI and even our professor said (while it's a fun personality test) its not accurate. While I'm also aware of the Jungian cognitive theory (ex: ti v te), I'd still take this assessment with a grain of salt. The big 5 is probably the personality assessment with the most validity if we are looking into personality theory.
But big five can be lacking to understand myself although using it I realize I need to work on my conscientiousness level. MBTI helps me understand myself better and embrace my personality
Something tells me it might have to do something with the extreme rarity of the ENTP type among a population. 3%. As an ENTP, I always found the description to be suiting for the most part because it's so specific. But some of the other more "popular" types seem to be described to such an artificial extent that one came subscribe to most/or any of the qualities they have. It might be more of an issue of specificity on our part that it "works". But hey I could be wrong there too, haven't tested it.
Ive taken multiple different tests...all say im INFJ..tbh it actually makes a lot of sense to me and does peice alot of a missing puzzle bits in my life together...
Some major corrections regarding your portrayal of MBTI: 1) As in the case with any accurate personality testing system, people have a bad habit of misrepresenting their circumstances, which affects the results of the test. While you did point this out in your video, you neglected to point out that the simple solution to this is to have a trained therapist or friend/family member with deep knowledge of the subject-individual take the test in place of the subject-individual him/herself. As an example, When I first took my MBTI test, I received the INTP type. I would periodically retake the test on different websites with different questions and explanations, and the results were always the same. Right up until my life circumstances changed significantly, at which point I was getting the ENTP type as my results from that point forward. I'm a pretty outgoing guy. I'd never really been a closet case growing up, yet a series of bad relationships and an absolute garbage living environment (Stockton, CA, for the curious) had caused me to become extremely introverted and shut off. It hadn't occurred to me how those circumstances had impacted the answers I'd fed into the MBTI test until after I'd moved back to my childhood small town-home in the mountains and begun to open up again, which was of course when my results began registering as ENTP. Another example is my mother, who is an extremely neurotic woman and yet a doctor of psychology. Each time she'd taken the MBTI test, she'd gotten a different result; three different results, if I recall, all at various times in various moods. But I know her extremely well because I watched her actions as I grew up and learned to see through the various facades and moods she shuffles through in her personal life (Thankfully, none of that seems to carry over into her work; she's done very well learning to compartmentalize) so whenever I retake the test in her stead, the results are consistent. The point I'm driving at with this particular correction is that while the results can absolutely be skewed when self-testing, the test is essentially flawless when in the hands of someone who knows what questions to ask and how to spot B.S. INTP was never a particularly well-fitting designation, but ENTP? Hoo, boy! Spot-on, I'm telling you. 2) You mentioned that the thinking and feeling factors in the MBTI are measured as being axiomatically opposite, but I'm not sure you recognize just yet that the issue is that just because someone *can* empathize with another individual doesn't mean they're inclined to do so. That's the core point attributed to that division. MBTI measures not just how you approach and process information, but also what sort of information you're even interested in examining in the first place. It's not enough to have the capacity to empathize; you have to be predisposed to doing so to qualify for the "Feeling" designation. Some people are geared more toward hard facts (Thinking) while others are predisposed to approaching information from the perspective of how things make them feel. As an ENTP, I'm perfectly capable of empathizing, but there are facts and there are fallacies, and I'm less concerned with how facts make people feel than whether or not those facts are, in fact, facts at all. Doesn't make me heartless, my priorities simply differ from that of a Feeler's. 3) Feeding somewhat from that last correction, you made the point that MBTI uses a binary system. This is correct, but you neglected to mention that the more rigorous implementations of MBTI actually do calculate the percentages of each division. For example, an individual may have 62% Introversion, but that means they are also 42% Extroverted. Suddenly, the dichotomy isn't a matter of are you this or that, it becomes a comparative measure of dualisms. To go back to my earlier Thinking/Feeling example, people who are interested in facts and data want a measurable and accurate result, whereas Feelers are less interested in whether something is correct and more interested in how it makes them feel on a subjective, emotional level. But even if a subject is 78% Thinking, that means that s/he is still 22% inclined to being concerned more with how the data they're interested in makes them feel. These dichotomies may be split down the middle, but in practice, they're measured to understand the nuance of a given personality. That's not a bug, it's a feature. (He says unironically.) 4) I hear the term "tribe" often used in an almost pejorative fashion a lot of the time. I think it's extremely important to recognize the utility and importance of tribes, as well as to understand that one can belong to multiple "tribes" in the modern sense of the word. For example, I play D&D on the weekends but I also play Destiny 2 a lot. Generally speaking, most Destiny 2 players aren't interested in pen-and-paper RPGs. (There's no empirical data to back that up that I'm aware of, but given the compulsive and action-oriented nature of Destiny 2 and the slow pace and more cerebral nature of D&D, it's a safe enough hypothesis to make.) In that way, I am a member of two entirely different tribes. The same would be true if I practiced both MMA and ballet, or if I watched Friends and also Seinfeld growing up. (Come to think of it, I actually did watch both those shows growing up, though Friends was still my preference.) Anthropologically, tribes were an insular community that kept "outsiders" at arm's distance, true, but because those who could not integrate with the tribe were isolated from the tribe, it provided a wealth of supportive relationships between people who had many interests in common. We tend to demonize tribalism as being exclusionary, but historically tribes would often interact and exchange goods, services, and information, so the fallacy of isolationism is just laughable. Even in the modern sense, our "tribes" still generally interact, yet just as with historical tribes, there are some groups that mix about as well as bleach and ammonia. (Take our present political division as an example.) It's not that these tribes cannot coexist, but rather that the leadership, or influencers if you prefer, of these tribes are often hostile to one another. The others in the tribes may have no particular malice toward one another, but humans are highly socially reactive creatures, which is why strong leadership needs to be coupled with equally strong ideals. In any event, tribes are not inherently negative. They provide a sense of similitude which enables people to feel accepted while also fostering trust within the tribe. Whether or not people of other tribes clash with those people is entirely dependent upon whether or not the values of both tribes are incompatible. 5) Finally, I've had it about up to here (you can't see it, but I'm holding my handly flatly parallel to my scalp) with people obsessing over the MBTI's creators' lack of "professional" credentialling. A degree or license doesn't provide you with the knowledge and skills to create new systems of thought, they're merely institutional recognition of those skills and knowledge. Even some trashed-up hobo living under a bridge can have perfectly valid ideas about things, and pretending like they can't only serves to make the individuals scoffing at the uncredentialled seem like snooty elitists. Katherine and Isabel were no less capable of learning new information and utilizing it to it's fullest advantage than any two-bit schmuck with a psychology degree. Colleges and universities don't make people smart, they just provide them with information, and much of the time (particularly in our technologically sophisticated culture) any information you can attain as an active student in an institution can be attained through alternative means. I've never had a day of "higher" education in my life, but unlike most people, I have an innate hunger for understanding. I like to think I've done pretty well expanding my knowledge and developing my critical reasoning skills, all things considered. So let's not pretend like these two womens' level of institutional recognition has anything to do with their ability to learn and develop ideas of their own. It so bizarre to me that anyone who conflate institutional education with intelligence or knowledge... POST SCRIPT) I realize your professors have their perspectives, and unfortunately, you've been placed in a situation where you've naturally adopted some of those opinions by dint of your proximity to and dependence upon, those selfsame teachers' beliefs. That's the inherent danger of institutionalized education, unfortunately, that you will adopt many of the same attitudes and beliefs of your teachers. This is true in NON-institutionalized educational systems as well, certainly, but the uniformity of beliefs and attitudes in such situations is significantly less pronounced in more independent systems since they're decentralized and teach a much more diverse collection of individuals. But in spite of your educators, I would urge you to approach more subjects with more caution and less presumption. Just because you think you know a thing doesn't mean you know anything about the thing that is remotely accurate. Universities can teach fallacies just as easily as they can teach truths, that's extremely important to remember.

I hope you have a really nice day!!
As far as how fixed a personality is, I do agree with you to an extent. People will always change from a behavior perspective, but the core, the cognitive side will stay the same. There is a surprising hidden personality theory I haven't heard much in the "mainstream" called Enneagram, they are one of the few that actually include growth of character in their Theory. also just as an example, the result while simular to say MBTI in that they will give you a "Type" that type is far more complex than just 16. From the surface, there are only 9 types, but those are archetypes, not definitive types. The archetypes are numbered as 1 through 9, and one can further specify by finding out their "wing". This makes it into 18, but one can go even further, there are things called instinctual variants, of which there are three of and one can find out which they lean most on. This narrows it down to 54 different types, but "oh there's more" to channel my inner car salesmen, you can find the Instinctual Variant stack, which determines the order one has for those three instinctual variants. This puts the types at 108, and then you can make it even more complicated by figuring out your tritype by looking at the other "Centers" to see which heart-type, head type, and gut types you have highest(previously mentioned dominant type will already be in one of these three you just have to discover which of the other two). This makes for massive amount of variety, and there is also so much different "paths for growth" that makes sense.
@@manololv8 been forever since I have taken a test… I think personality cafe still has a group there for enneagram? Talk to sone of the people there to find info
No personality test can tell you who you are with a few simple questions. You have to go on a journey of self-exploration and true introspection in order to find yourself, a test can only give you a place to start from. No two people are exactly alike, only you know who you really are and what it is you stand for and believe in.
INTJ here. I think that result is spot on, but I never took it too seriously. Also wanna add that I took MBTI twice, about 6 months apart for 2 different classes and the results were the same for me.
I have taken both the Big-5 and the MBTI. Interestingly, the results of the two were in near-perfect confluence with one another. I found both to have functional utility. INFJ-A here.
I’m not sure what kind of psychology it is but all the questions are saying you’re “always” this or “always” that. I think confident and outgoing people are more likely going to answer that they’re “always” something, whereas introverted people may not answer that as much because they may not be as confident to answer that they always do that thing.
I watched this video to inform me about the reliability of this personality test. I agree with those who say that the test only works if you are able to answer with sincerity and self-awareness. The first time I did it I took it lightly and answered roughly - I got "mediator" as a result. It mirrored me enough, but when later I did it more carefully and I got INFJ as a result - I was shocked. The test was able to predict aspects of my personality that I had long noticed but couldn't explain. It was a great relief. I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Maybe it has no scientific basis but I'm sure that if someone bothered to study the brain functioning of people in relation to this test, perhaps evidence based on facts would emerge that this test - born from intuitions and old psychological theories - is indeed valid
It's already been done: The Neuroscience of Personality by Dario Nardi (Professor at UCLA). Not to mention the 5 aspects of the Big 5 are the same ones on the MBTI.
u got it wrong dude.. - The 4 MBTI letters are just a code to get the hierarchy of the 8 functions Jung discovered. - You can't judge the whole theory by the test which is just a poor mean invented to know ur type when there is no type expert around and u know nothing about the theory.. the test is basically is making it's best guess to know ur type. - Introversion means ur most used Function is subjective or focuses on the inside world and vice versa. - The theory is mainly used for personal development , when u know ur weak functions u should work on developing them.. and as u develop ur personality changes but type(the hierarchy of the functions) never change. there is enough evidence to support the theory.. look up Dario Nardi or Objective personality. - The theory is much more than the type descriptions u read. - It's a great predictor of various things ..look the statistics on types .. for example the ENTJs in average earn 100% more than INFPs. with some practice with the theory u will get how obvious it's .. I can type people after a 5 m talk and I am right most of the time.
The issue with the personality tests isn't necessarily that they're wrong, it's that you shouldn't take the test thinking you're going to make your personality whatever it tells you to. They're supposed to reflect what you already are, and maybe call to attention what you haven't noticed, not create new traits or be a guideline
I was skeptical of Myers Briggs for many many years until one day I decided to take the test and was blown away by how accurate the results were. I felt like my type had me pegged quite accurately. I read the other 15 and didn’t feel any kinship with those. So as a result of this experience I became sold on the validity of MBTI. I’m always amused when I see people who downplay it or didn’t find it helpful. I found it tremendously helpful. I’ve seen people skeptical of the very idea of personality typology. I don’t think there are 7.5 billion personalities. I do believe that in a large population you can begin to group people together based on common personality traits and you will begin to see trends and patterns. Whether MBTI does this well can be debated but I don’t think it’s an invalid proposition to note that personalities, though diverse, can be grouped into broad categories. To drive my point further just look at mental illness. We have a category called schizophrenia and there are types of schizophrenia but it’s a pretty well mapped out class of mental illness. If we believe that every human is truly unique than why is it that a certain population exhibits classic symptoms of the same mental illness? So my point is that if mental illnesses can be differentiated from one another into separate groups based on certain criteria (schizophrenia vs OCD), why can’t personality as well? I understand that not everybody is going to fit easily into a category. And even being in a category doesn’t mean you lack nuance or exceptions. Everything is a spectrum. But I don’t take issue with the idea of broad categories and for that I do like the MBTI.
Ironic that you call yourself "ScienceGuy" but your argument is completely subjective and anecdotal. wrt to the Schizophrenia comparison, there are many subtypes under the same illness, and patients can respond drastically differently to the same treatment. Sure, you can say that when there are billions of people on Earth, surely we must share some common traits. However, like this video has already mentioned, the MBTI test is inaccurate in assessing whether an individual possesses these traits and also does not measure them on a spectrum but rather as binaries. If one is using it simply as an introduction to personality assessment then sure, nobody is going to judge him/her. But many trainers who are paid to conduct the MBTI test make ludicrous claims like predicting how well an individual is suited for certain occupations (as if they have any evidence to prove these claims in the 1st place) and this could be very harmful for impressionable youths.
Zehao Zhu I don’t know what perceived claim you’re trying to rebut. I never claimed that my own subjective experience should be taken as evidence for the validity of MBTI but that I was personally convinced of its validity from my own experience. I never said others should agree with me based on my experience. However, the argument I did make was against the blanket claim that personalities don’t cluster, and I do disagree with that claim and think it is rather silly. If a person wants to reject or criticize MBTI that’s their prerogative and I don’t care enough to argue with them but they typically reject it on the grounds that personalities don’t cluster at all and that was the point I was trying to make. I don’t believe personalities don’t cluster so anyone rejecting MBTI needs to then come up with a better model that maps that clustering. And like I said before, clusters don’t eliminate nuance or exceptions. There will always be outliers and certain nuances. Regarding MBTI coaching, that’s not something I’m familiar with. I never hired anybody to tell me what I should do based on my personality type. But I did find it tremendously illuminating.
"why is that certain populations exhibit the exact same symptoms of mental illness" That's because we only have the symptoms to base ourselves off. For example with schizophrenia we have almost no understanding of the physiological causes behind it. It could be possible that there are 10 different diseases that all result in schizophrenia, but because we don't understand the underlying causes we group it all into a single illness. Science is incredibly behind in terms of understanding the human mind so we shouldn't pretend that what we think we know is definitely what is actually going on.
I love how he says that MBTI, which has benefited millions of people, is not credible because it was made by two housewives and is not scientifically backed.. and then he promotes a new assessment that has "huuundreds" of comments on it, and says, "that's good enough for me." 🤔 ~INFJ
The paradox is, it is indeed true that nobody know's yourself better than your self. But bias is always going to come in play when you answer a questionnaire, and not only that, but we change our behavior constantly based on our bias. I think personality is just how we approach any given situation with what we've been exposed to, and it's really hard to define how someone handles life on a day to day basis given any situation without following that person around everywhere they go, and like I mentioned earlier true authenticity is rare. Questionnaires to a degree if taken honestly give you some picture, but I think bias plays a role in determining what true personality type you are, and even if we were to assess a person perfectly, things might change. Also it's hard to define a personality type knowing how little we actually understand human complexities.
Hey Kevin, how about a video on the different learning styles (visual, audio, and kinesthetic)? I’m taking some tests to see which one I am and how I can take advantage of it for school, but I’m seeing some conflict in the validity and effectiveness of the theory. Thanks for all the helpful videos! 🙌🏻
I use to be addicted to personality tests, by that I mean I put my own answers then answer the opposite of my answers to see if it actually means anything. Overall I concluded that they’re mostly BS
I'm about to get tested for personality from a psychiatrist and it resonated with me that phrase: “[a personality test] can only tell you what you tell them”, because the only hidden secret to my character they're trying to figure out is whether I meet the criteria for a personality disorder or not… Actually, I'm a little bit skeptical about personality disorders in general and that's why I'm watching these videos. 🤷🏻♂️
I was always skeptical about personality tests, until I was handed my Predictive Index results. Some people are offended and skeptical, but it pegged me, dead on. I was surprised that PI was not included in you video.
mbti and carl's theory isn't bad, it's the tests thay are bad, cause you need more than some questions to tell you your type, it's better to ask a psychologue or someone that's good at typing ppl about your type
Can you please make a video on the effect of changing attitudes towards payment systems in the US, particularly singlepayer, and how that might affect doctors salaries for the upcoming classes?
I know it's not got a lot of scientific validity but MBTI is a lot of fun, I find it useful by comparing it to the big 5 model (although tbh it's probably more accurate to just use the big 5 model lol)
I used the mbti moreso as a general tool to figure out some of my general traits. I wouldn't ever say it's 100% accurate (most tests of any kind aren't 100% accurate) and it's definitely more of a general overview of your personality rather than a dead-on accurate test. Your personality as a whole is much more complex and intricate than any test can probably ever nail down, human personality is dependant on so many different variables that it's almost impossible to account for every single one of them in just one test. I'd just say that it's a very general tool and that while you shouldn't take it too seriously, you should always be 100% honest with yourself when answering the tests to get the most accurate results. And if anyone actually gives a crap, I have the "ISTP" mbti personality.
All the comments about "Well, I get a [ ] 100% of the time, so it's a legit test!" I'm dead! That just means you answer the questions reliably the same every time (which is not the case for everyone). That does not mean that the MBTI test is is not a BS test with weird categories. It's just fun as a party game and there's nothing wrong with that.
I think a big aspect of the MTBI is that once you see something, you tend to see it everywhere. I really love cool sciencey stuff and I'm kinda blunt sometimes and when I did the test and found out what entp meant, I remembered every time I annoyed someone or looked up an article since that's what the test told me. If it displayed a completely random one every time, there's a good chance I would have agreed with it but i might just be saying this because I am a debater entp
Yea, I have tried the test SOOOOO many times at different points in my life and it always says the same thing. I'm an enfp and I would say that title reflects my cognitive functions and natural instincts fairly well.
ngl mbti might not tell much but it's pretty good. not exactly good at what it tries to do, but it's good for determining your personality at the moment. it's not like horoscope, for it is partially true. it's true because it just takes whatever you tell it and repeats it back to you, but it can still draw a pretty good conclusion or help you realize what your bad traits are. it's not military grade or anything, and very much isn't professional nor fit for actual psychic analysis, but it can help people understand you better. it's not very accurate and can change as your personality changes, but it's good enough for the general public. it doesn't really go as deep as other tests do, that's partially why it is so easy to get different results each time - it just looks at your surface behavior and tells you what is safe to assume from that. i think it's mostly popular because it has a lot of types and it's easy to at least to some degree define yourself with one of them. people just use it because saying the four letters is easier than explaining your personality on your own - this way the test does it for you. i used to partially interact with the mbti "fandom" and saw a lot of people actually encouraging others to take more advanced tests or to retake the mbti test often so your results would stay "up to date". it's a pretty fun thing, might not be too accurate but honestly it is just really interesting to be able to look at a person and have them tell you some letters which instantly make your get to know them at least a bit better and get some kind of picture about them, even if based solely on stereotype. humans love to categorize stuff and the test is perfect for that. by the way i'm pretty happy with the fact it was probably accurate for me! kind of forgot about the test but when i retook it after two years i was still an istp somehow. was expecting to get something, anything, different since my results were kinda on the fence the first time but it just confirmed the initial assignment even more. idk if i agree with it but it seems to do the trick when it comes to introducing myself, and some of the aspects are pretty relatable to me. in the beginning took the test just for the memes but began liking the idea of this simplified way of knowing somebody's behavior. it's really interesting, feels kinda like a social experiment and those are always fun.
INFJ here... MBTI has been a passionate hobby of mine for 30 years (since age 16). not even kidding. I've recently had an earthquake, however... I knew about the Big 5, but could not see its value over the ever-popular MBTI. After my earthquake, and being forced to reconsider EVERYthing in life, I now see the flaws (that experts like the MedSchool Insider) have been stating. I do love the Big 5, as it really does show you HOW you are, compared to 99 other people. It is the first of its kind to use computational power with which to verify. You answer 100 questions and the computer tabulates your numbers in each of the 5 most common traits. With the MBTI, it was like a special award to receive the result of INFJ. It didn't cause any urge for change. After the epiphany of my Big 5 results, it has been difficult to accept the reality of me. But, with work, continual care, changes can come about.
INFJ...good perspective, compelling on the negatives of some of these tests. And btw, yes. I've often thought that each test is limiting re describing the 'person'.
Socionics > Enneagram > 5 temperaments > MBTI. MBTI =/= Jungian. Socionics =/= Jungian. Enneagram provides levels of health and self-improvement built into the theory. All three theories describe traits that are neither "bad" nor "good", just your tendencies. I'm not gonna become an extrovert, logic minded, practical, in the moment person no matter what I do; I will always lean the other way unless I have extreme trauma that flips me. And it is not laziness or giving up, nor do these theories suggest that. Being severelly mentally ill makes me much more reactive than I would be otherwise, though, so I suppose it's right that someone could change their percentage of traits in the Big 5 theory. In MBTI and socionics, though, the functions pair and so it is not meant to be about percentages at all. Furthermore, in MBTI, Fe types are more in tune with EQ than other types tend to be; it is not about "not thinking". Socionics is more in depth than MBTI because it uses 8 function placements instead of 4, the function placements are more significant, and provides possible (in)compatibilites between types. I like these theories because they open my mind to how other people think much more than Big 5 ever could. All tests for MBTI, socionics, and enneagram are bad. And it is not because the theories are bad; it is because the theories are too complex for a simple test. The only way to know your type is to familiarize yourself with the theory and each function. Big 5 is convenient due to its simplicity, but all theories provide unique insights.
when i look at personality its possible we have core personality traits in which that are not bound to change an further develop as we grow and the rest is outer influence being how we grow up who we look up to etc which could explain the meta data analysis.
I need to learn more. Have an idea I'd like to program and turn into a cool way for people to interact or even date...but I think I may need more info now that I know so many different versions of these tests, personality or otherwise, exist.
whether these tests be this or that, in their real world application, they are almost always used to sort out people who are smarter or more creative than the employers, or at best identify them and prevent their promotion… they also help to identify the most pedantic, obedient, and immoral(those least resistant to “administering the electro shock therapy”… for science) so they can be promoted and one day sit on a board, saying yes to the edicts and ideas of black rock and vanguard management group
Couldn't The Big 5 do the same categorization that MBTI does? MBTI's traits are also measured on a spectrum, they just give you a letter depending on which side you lean most to. If The Big Five did this and had a clean website I'm sure it'd do fine.
You seem very IxFP (particularly INFP). There's little reason why you'd ask if it wasn't likely people would guess it - my initial guess was ESTJ, however, the anima of INFP (inferior Te) seeks recognition, whilst dominant Fi enjoys mystery. Child Si explains your clamoring to statistical data and lengthy background information on the topic. And, yet again, INFPs are also notorious for needing conversation about one's self to self-actualize on a subconscious level, which also explains your interest in the topic of personality tests as well - it began as an Fi thing, and ended as a Te thing for you. Another thing is, is that the exclusive news letter thing is a typical INFP move - all about prestige, exclusivity, and loyalty. But this is all probably just a trick, because you said the results were inconsistent- which I would particularly like to offer the argument that people are also inconsistent, and each MBTI is actual a map of your personality on your conscience/non-conscious levels, so really you have 4 types, which is why the system is flawed, because people only massage their ego, neglecting to evaluate their other levels of consciousness (sub, un, and super ego). Now, how close am I?
I found the Cube Test to be very accurate for me. But you'll better off doing it first very honestly and without looking at how the results are procured until you've done it.
Aight, ignoring all the MBTI down people because reliability for that test is bull which limits validity of any test. A test can't be valid if it isn't reliable. The MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF have been extensively tested for both reliability and validity. There were obvious concerns about the original test devised in the 70's with a limited population, but this was taken into consideration for the most recent edition of the MMPI, and is being further revised to create the MMPI-3 (coming to a clinical assessment office near you hopefully soon). Many of the questions on there that seem weird are either related to measuring defensiveness, or are non-face value correlates to underlying psychopathological constructs such as somatic symptoms or physiological symptoms that relate highly with certain psychological conditions such as people with high anxiety and depression often get sick so that's a question. We can go over whether these non-face value questions are important, but their intention is in an attempt measure whether people are telling the truth, whether intentionally or not, and extensive research is " fact-checking" it as we speak.
I used to think I was an ENFP, but after researching cognitive functions, I think I have the Fe function, making me an ENTP instead, which may explain my short fuse.
Those who don't understand or study psychology will support MBTI without remembering that there is SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for the reliability (or lack thereof) of said test. Just because it works for you 7/10 times doesn't mean it works just as well for others (discounting the Barnum effect which probably affects most people more than they think it would). And in research, numbers matter. Not your own feelings or opinions. You are just ONE person.
There needs to be a personality test that first helps you get to know yourself better. Or at least a personality type for people who don’t know who the fuck they are, or they are all the types…
I love personallity typology, but tests are horrible, you usually have to do research and self reflections to type yourself or others. The MBTI for example isn’t thinking or feeling its based of stuff like extraverted-feeling (Fe) or introverted-feeling (Fi) but the enneagram with instinctual variants? Oh lord is that a interesting system
I am a dumb university student who studies economics and loves psychology. I do not really know anything about these tests, have done the 4 letter test and felt completely clueless if it was reliant so I never really trusted it. What I would like to add, and do not know if it has been implied in any of the content above, is that in a question like "Do you follow a schedule?"; my answer would be "No, I definately don't" but my inner though and will is "I want to follow a schedule and might need it my life". Does this small but significant difference create a gap between the tester and the one being tested?
I was super shocked by the incredibly condescending and sexist dismissal of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs-Myers as "two uneducated housewives" regardless of what you think about MBTI.
Though MBTI lacks scientific credibility, and is quite flawed. The test is much more reliable than tarot and palm reading as it makes analysis' based on relevant data. Making statements about personality based on the personality itself is better than telling the future based on a random selection of cards or the location of the stars. You will never get the opposite results on a subsequent MBTI test, and changing types from one test to the next says a lot about how the person took the test or how someone else wrote it. That doesnt actually change a persons traits, and the more borderline that you are on a trait the more likely you are to get a different result. Obviously the fact that people's types change over time is a problem for the system and it is clearly inherently flawed. However it isn't random and it has some level of efficacy, which is more than can be said for astrology and other psuedoscience.
Personality is an extremely abstract concept that requires many different theories and explanations to understand it. MBTI in relation to E v I N v S T v F and P v J is almost meaningless. The 4-letter code is simply a classification of much more complex scientific method of socionics and Jungian analytical cognitive psychology. The 16 personalities test is inherently faulty because it asks questions that do not test function use, and people do not view themselves accurately (It took me 5 times to even find my correct type) but it doesn't mean that the entire model of 16 personalities is inaccurate. I am considered an ENTP and have been all my life my leading cognitive functions are Extroverted intuition and Introverted Thinking with Extroverted Feeling being my Child function and Introverted Sensing being my inferior function. Please truly research the scientific parts of sociotype and do not trash an entire idea on the basis of one wrong interpretation or ignorance. It’s all based on cognitive functions preference and our personalities are consistent and not changing as time goes but rather going through development growth and stress. As humans,we often view ourselves through a faulty lens and it is until we can understand our weaknesses that we can truly begin to understand how to grow. There are many articles explaining all of this. Never compare cognitive psychology to mysticism and tarot cards because they aren't even within the same realm of thought. Do not subject yourself to ignorance especially as a med doctor and influencer. Do proper research into the ins and outs of everything you are explaining before posting a video on it and misleading people.
I don't see why different results on the test mean its a wrong model. You can only say the accuracy of the results are often not very inaccurate, based on your self-image and recent experiences/ perspectives. Furthermore I think your explanation of the "mutual-exclusiveness" isn't very accurate, since the decoding of the MBTI isn't as easy as just looking at the letters. Also the MBTI shows how people judge things based on types of perception, which seems to me like a very important part of how you deal with stress and pressure. Nothing about it is exclusive, it just deals with preferences, which has a high impect on the decision making process of people. - Don't judge a fish by its ability to climb trees ;) - But there could obviously be major flaws I'm overlooking
I took the test at several different sites. Answered the questions honestly. The scores where all over the place. On had me at 100% intellect another at zero. I really think because I marked that I don't vote liberal is the reason for the zero%. Any way I think it sucks.
5:35 i dont know. When i was reading the INFJ personality info. I was getting flashbacks to my whole life in representation of everything article said. Even weaknesses. I also dont think its that binary, its more of which side is dominant. Thats why it has percentages of what side you are on. Me im more dominant on my introverted side. But i still have around 30% extraverted. Some traits im almost equal between the 2.
6:12 as you said humans are on a spectrum. Isnt it natural some would get different results? You gotta look at the consistency between their results. Not just the fact they got different results.
Sunscreen drys my skin out and makes it feel tighter example if I put it on my hand and then made a fist after being outside for idk maybe 30 mins and I try to make a fist it. Feels like the skin will just RIP apart.
I'm not saying you're wrong about mbti per se but it's been incredibly accurate for me. Not perfect or covering everything thoroughly, but it's always come up INTP every time I've taken it over the past 8 years. And I can always call out an INTJ they stick out like sore thumbs. Stereo topical nerds
@@eDumke87 I understand that you like intjs, both types are compatible on so many different levels. I myself find intps so much fascinating. But sorry and no offense : you are the stereotypical nerds ... At least on a first glance level ^^ of course both types, like every types, are more than their stereotypical representations ;) My English is pretty bad this is not my first language but I hope you get the idea. Have a nice day man.
We're weird. But not nerds stereotypically. I am friends with 4 intjs. 3 build computers and the fourth runs a comic book store. They're great guys. They just all wear glasses, hate the sun, wear a big splotch of sunscreen on their nose, and debate about science and super heroes. I love hanging out with them. Its interesting. I think I just about them because I constantly tweek with their scientific positions and what not to see what happens. You're English is great
This is why most of the MBTI community hates 16personalities… the binary system is so terrible and no one can truly identify with their type. The preferred method for typing is using Jung’s Cognitive functions and putting them in a specific stack order… this allows for a person to both have thinking and feeling, just different types of thinking and feeling. From my experience, it’s still a little hard to navigate, but WAY more accurate and true to human nature than 16personalities

I will like to ask you, which is your opinion about the NERIS type explorer? I mean, it's almost like a mix between "the big five" and "the MBTI" so I don't really know if I can trust it. Thanks.
I've done 10 test and honestly Noone of the results match nor do the questions seems specific to a personality tests
Personally tests also always bothered me because it’s about what you think of yourself. I may think I’m extroverted and cool headed but others may say I’m the opposite. How do you put this into consideration?
Be the best you can be .
People are different in certain situations. Some traits are more useful in different situations.
Answer the test based on whatever you are the majority of the time/if you had a choice of who to be with no negative external consequences, which would you pick/be. Idk
Dawn, I can relate to what you're saying. This issue of self awareness, others' opinions, etc. gets so complicated its hard to know what to say is most important. This very issue of WHO I SAY I AM, vs WHO OTHERS SAY I AM has been a burning question. Personality theory has been a passionate hobby of mine for 30 years (since age 16). not even kidding. I've recently had an earthquake, however... I knew about the Big 5, but could not see its value over the ever-popular MBTI. After my earthquake, and being forced to reconsider EVERYthing in life, I now see the flaws (that experts like the MedSchool Insider) have been stating.

Learning where you are within the Big 5 is an excellent starting point to gain insight, self awareness and confidence. I recommend it. I like Jordan Peterson's site: www.understandmyself.com (And I like just about everything else about JP's classes, books and lectures!) Peace!
Everyone has their own interpretation of things. They see you a split sec or few minutes and make subjective opinions about you to themselves. Personality can swing drastically so dont take it as set in stone.
It is always very, very interesting to let a person do a personality test themselves, and then let their mother, their spouse or their best friend answer the same questions for them. The truth usually lies somewhere inbetween these two results, especially when spouses are questioned they tend to actually be very close to a persons actual personality. Mothers and friends, usually a bit off.
I just have doubts about personality tests in general. Traumatic events, or sometimes just powerful emotional events, can change a persons attitude and behavior, sometimes drastically.
suckitup babe of course they aren’t perfect, but the Meyers Briggs rest is meant to show you what traits you more likely use compared to what others use. What traits you use reflect your personality and how you think. That’s not to say that these traits that you prefer to use cannot be changed, but rather what traits you use in that moment. Childhood trauma and the environment you grow up in in general I think all play a role in what traits you will use thus giving you a certain viewpoint of the world, creating your personality and who you are. Not everyone is either one trait or the other(I.e extrovert or introvert) but rather somewhere in the middle, some are closer to extrovert and some are closer to introvert, but yes a traumatic event could occur and make an extrovert Become more introverted depending on how they perceived the event. Also some people change over time as they grow. Sorry for the rant I just wanted to help you understand the correlation that I see between your personality and events that change how you view the world like you said. Hope I helped!
Attitude and behaviour can change a lot for all sorts of reasons, but cognitive functions not, that's why Carl Jung's model is still better than the big 5 for example. The big 5 relies only on behaviour which is the worst thing you could do to classify personalities. I can be smiling and thinking that I hate that person but just pretend i don't to avoid conflict. What tells more about me? The fact that I'm smiling? The fact that I hate my boss? Or the fact that I'd rather avoid conflict by smiling to someone I hate? Exactly, the third one. That's why Jung's cognitive function model is far better than the big five, that would only take into consideration that you smile to your boss. Maybe even that you hate your boss, but that's it.
i got logician, but, as I have generalize anxiety disorder, during particular events, i can say im far from logician like
@@Ignasimp No that's really not an issue for Big 5 to Big 10. If you tell the truth it's going to be accurate but if your boss will read it you will lie. There are companies out there, a lot actually, who are forbidden from using IQ tests so they fall back to Big 5.
What do you mean behaviour changes? It really depends. Sometimes it absolutely doesn't, sometimes it changes drastically, other times it does just a bit and there's no way to predict that change beforehand. In fact, conscientiousness is still a very strong predictor so however good Jung might be (And I know nothing about his tests), if you do it before and after the change, results will also reflect that change. Behaviour doesn't change in a week. Or a month or a year, or even a decade depending on how relevant it is to you.
It could be said that those events change their personality. It’s hard to stay static forever.
This is inaccurate. MBTI is not purely binary. It’s about preferences or tendencies. It doesn’t say you are one or the other.
The types are based on the cognitive functions that Carl Jung noticed. They’re sometimes referred to as the Jungian Cognitive Functions. MBTI is also meant primarily for job and career environments.
MBTI terms should not be taken with face value. Intuition is not about gut feeling. Feeling is not about emotions. And I doubt extroversion and introversion are about where a person draws there energy, since that’s not the definition that Carl Jung used.
Then what is extroversion and introversion exactly?
@@hareotona The definition Carl Jung used, I'm not sure. I don't have a good understanding of it yet. All I know is that Carl Jung's definitions has something to do with objects in relation to the subject (as in the observer). Basically, what the person tends to focus on more. But he did also mention once that type is not static, it can change. But I'm not sure exactly what he was referring to when he said that.
His views seem to be primarily philosophical and based on his personal interactions and observations.
@@hareotona in "personality types" he best describes it by "typing" cultures, not people. While the ancient Greeks were "introverted" and dealt primarily with inner problems, the Romans were extraverted and built and conquered. Or how you can compare Europe to the USA: thinkers vs engineers.
In individuals it's the dichotomy between subjective and objective, between thought and sense.
MBTI diverged a bit from theese definitions, but i don't know exactly how. Jung's definitions are however still applicable when dealing with cognitive functions (introverted thinking vs extraverted thinking for example)
Okay so, the MBTI tests actually mostly look at both that Mother-Daughter combination as well as Keirsey, both are very behavioral oriented, not cognitive function oriented. Most material on the Cognitive Functions isn't headed by or related to those, at least too much, instead, they rely on John Beebe's interpretation of Carl Jung's work, and sometimes additionally Dario Nardi's contribution in the neurology side of it. They are two separate things, but because they both pertain to Carl Jung's work, people accidentally group them together as both being "MBTI". I have not personally found a good test for the Cognitive functions, even if I do prescribe to the effectiveness of their uses as purely cognitive functions and do not directly affect behavior(even if they can do so indirectly).
@@hareotona Keirsey and MBTI define it as what most people think of. Carl Jung, John Beebe, and Dario Nardi all define it not how social you are but the "direction" the cognitive functions are going, also in their case all people use all functions, it's just a matter of preferences. Here a single example using one of the functions, Sensing as a function gathers the physical and concrete stimuli of one's environment or in oneself. Introverted Sensing gathers information about one's body and long term memory, while Extroverted Sensing gathers external physical stimuli, so it uses the physical sensory organs to pick up how something smells, feels, hears, and etc. So, long story short, it depends on the specific Cognitive Function if you look at it from their perspective.
Every time I take the MBTI I come out the same... INTJ. Basically, it depends on how well you know yourself and how honest you answer...
Same here!
Said like a true INTJ. Don't forget that you account for only 2% of the population and don't behave like normie garbage.
Me too, but I feel insane.
Same here. I first took the test in 2016 and now in 2019 I got ISFJ again. My friends say I'm very self-aware. Are we onto something? :D
@@Iweighmorewithoutclothes-wz1ph You're spot on :D Most people aren't self-aware enough for that tho. Ignorance is bliss
People get different test results on the MBTI because a lot of people aren’t self-aware. You have to accurately know yourself to get the correct personality type results. However, even then some people reject the validity of their personality type because they see it as “a label.” MBTI is just a framework to understand and develop oneself. Unfortunately, your explanation of it was incomplete. The real basis of MBTI are the 8 cognitive functions, which were researched and created by a psychologist named Carl Jung. The letters mean little if you don’t understand the functions. That’s where most miss the mark with MBTI. It’s a lot more nuanced and complex than it seems. IMO it’s the most spot-on and helpful of all personality type tests.
Umm... doesn't explaing why questions are poorly worded, why some questions are too farfetched and there are some answers missing.. i would had liked to have "depends on situation" or "this isn't the only possible answer" on some of them. Wasn't there a study where the result was that in 5 weeks more than 80% of people that redid the test got different result?
Also the final results are too binary. It gives a description about one part of you. You are not that thing it says you are.. that thing is one attribute, one description of what you are.. not the whole catalog of multiple traits you are mix of.
Even if people "knew how to answer" and were "self-aware", even then the test would lack to give complex enought results to be accurate and thats partly because either questions aren't well put or there are too few picks to answer from.
The test sucks. Get over it.
@@samamies88 But why i always got estj then? Since the first time i took the test, it always been estj. Even when i'm in a different mood. I took the test every 6 months tho, as what the web told me.
@@samamies88 depends on the language and which site you use. Tbh I never had a different result, but I guess it does actually depend on how well YOU know yourself. anyways bye :)
In your opinion. But not of those who've actually done the research.
Yeahh when I did those normal personality type tests I always got infp or intp but I just never thought I fit into those personality types (I kinda believed I was an infp cause it did suit me a bit but some traits were off) I did thr cognitive functions test and then I realised I'm actually an enfp and I looked into it, I can say I'm definately very much an enfp💀

umm sir you forgot about the cognitive functions which is more important than the four leter type in MBTI. For example INTP has Ti Ne Si Fe-Te Ni Se Fi although the four letter type says its more thinking than feeling but the cognitive functions says it has feelings but it's inferior to thinking. It means that an INTP will decide about what is right before thinking about feelings
i subbed btw
Wow. I'd like to learn more about this.
People generally aren't really into cognitive fucntions and thus why in mbti forums there are so many mistypes.
PREACH. People refer to MBTI as “fake” without redoing their research on cognitive functions and Jungian Theory. It’s a pseudoscience, I grudgingly agree, but it isn’t far from neuroscience imo.
I like the mbti theory a lot, even though I know it’s not very reliable for some people.
A few years back it personally helped me understand myself better and I feel now a more confident person (I’m not saying that I think my personality is only based on my mbti type, it was reading other people and their situations and how they seemed to have a similar personality than me).
I do it for the lols with friends and family even though I used to have an obsession for it lowkey hahah it’s still useful sometimes 🤠
I've literally been obsessed with personality tests this past week. This video came at a perfect time :)
As a psych major who graduated less than 2 years ago, I remember looking at the data for MBTI and even our professor said (while it's a fun personality test) its not accurate. While I'm also aware of the Jungian cognitive theory (ex: ti v te), I'd still take this assessment with a grain of salt. The big 5 is probably the personality assessment with the most validity if we are looking into personality theory.
@@hejsan5839290485 yes
But big five can be lacking to understand myself although using it I realize I need to work on my conscientiousness level.
MBTI helps me understand myself better and embrace my personality
Im an entp and the description is very very accurate for current myself
Something tells me it might have to do something with the extreme rarity of the ENTP type among a population. 3%. As an ENTP, I always found the description to be suiting for the most part because it's so specific. But some of the other more "popular" types seem to be described to such an artificial extent that one came subscribe to most/or any of the qualities they have. It might be more of an issue of specificity on our part that it "works". But hey I could be wrong there too, haven't tested it.
Me too. ENTP description is very accurate to myself. people always call me 'the debater', which is true, I enjoy having debates.
i've taken the mbti test like at least 20 times since i was like 12 (now i'm 15) and i haven't not gotten entp
SAME!!!
They seem to be quite accurate every time I take one 👍😅
Sheep
No I have taken the test thrice and three different results
Ive taken multiple different tests...all say im INFJ..tbh it actually makes a lot of sense to me and does peice alot of a missing puzzle bits in my life together...
Some major corrections regarding your portrayal of MBTI:
1) As in the case with any accurate personality testing system, people have a bad habit of misrepresenting their circumstances, which affects the results of the test. While you did point this out in your video, you neglected to point out that the simple solution to this is to have a trained therapist or friend/family member with deep knowledge of the subject-individual take the test in place of the subject-individual him/herself. As an example, When I first took my MBTI test, I received the INTP type. I would periodically retake the test on different websites with different questions and explanations, and the results were always the same. Right up until my life circumstances changed significantly, at which point I was getting the ENTP type as my results from that point forward.
I'm a pretty outgoing guy. I'd never really been a closet case growing up, yet a series of bad relationships and an absolute garbage living environment (Stockton, CA, for the curious) had caused me to become extremely introverted and shut off. It hadn't occurred to me how those circumstances had impacted the answers I'd fed into the MBTI test until after I'd moved back to my childhood small town-home in the mountains and begun to open up again, which was of course when my results began registering as ENTP. Another example is my mother, who is an extremely neurotic woman and yet a doctor of psychology. Each time she'd taken the MBTI test, she'd gotten a different result; three different results, if I recall, all at various times in various moods. But I know her extremely well because I watched her actions as I grew up and learned to see through the various facades and moods she shuffles through in her personal life (Thankfully, none of that seems to carry over into her work; she's done very well learning to compartmentalize) so whenever I retake the test in her stead, the results are consistent.
The point I'm driving at with this particular correction is that while the results can absolutely be skewed when self-testing, the test is essentially flawless when in the hands of someone who knows what questions to ask and how to spot B.S. INTP was never a particularly well-fitting designation, but ENTP? Hoo, boy! Spot-on, I'm telling you.
2) You mentioned that the thinking and feeling factors in the MBTI are measured as being axiomatically opposite, but I'm not sure you recognize just yet that the issue is that just because someone *can* empathize with another individual doesn't mean they're inclined to do so. That's the core point attributed to that division. MBTI measures not just how you approach and process information, but also what sort of information you're even interested in examining in the first place. It's not enough to have the capacity to empathize; you have to be predisposed to doing so to qualify for the "Feeling" designation. Some people are geared more toward hard facts (Thinking) while others are predisposed to approaching information from the perspective of how things make them feel. As an ENTP, I'm perfectly capable of empathizing, but there are facts and there are fallacies, and I'm less concerned with how facts make people feel than whether or not those facts are, in fact, facts at all. Doesn't make me heartless, my priorities simply differ from that of a Feeler's.
3) Feeding somewhat from that last correction, you made the point that MBTI uses a binary system. This is correct, but you neglected to mention that the more rigorous implementations of MBTI actually do calculate the percentages of each division. For example, an individual may have 62% Introversion, but that means they are also 42% Extroverted. Suddenly, the dichotomy isn't a matter of are you this or that, it becomes a comparative measure of dualisms. To go back to my earlier Thinking/Feeling example, people who are interested in facts and data want a measurable and accurate result, whereas Feelers are less interested in whether something is correct and more interested in how it makes them feel on a subjective, emotional level. But even if a subject is 78% Thinking, that means that s/he is still 22% inclined to being concerned more with how the data they're interested in makes them feel. These dichotomies may be split down the middle, but in practice, they're measured to understand the nuance of a given personality. That's not a bug, it's a feature. (He says unironically.)
4) I hear the term "tribe" often used in an almost pejorative fashion a lot of the time. I think it's extremely important to recognize the utility and importance of tribes, as well as to understand that one can belong to multiple "tribes" in the modern sense of the word. For example, I play D&D on the weekends but I also play Destiny 2 a lot. Generally speaking, most Destiny 2 players aren't interested in pen-and-paper RPGs. (There's no empirical data to back that up that I'm aware of, but given the compulsive and action-oriented nature of Destiny 2 and the slow pace and more cerebral nature of D&D, it's a safe enough hypothesis to make.) In that way, I am a member of two entirely different tribes. The same would be true if I practiced both MMA and ballet, or if I watched Friends and also Seinfeld growing up. (Come to think of it, I actually did watch both those shows growing up, though Friends was still my preference.)
Anthropologically, tribes were an insular community that kept "outsiders" at arm's distance, true, but because those who could not integrate with the tribe were isolated from the tribe, it provided a wealth of supportive relationships between people who had many interests in common. We tend to demonize tribalism as being exclusionary, but historically tribes would often interact and exchange goods, services, and information, so the fallacy of isolationism is just laughable. Even in the modern sense, our "tribes" still generally interact, yet just as with historical tribes, there are some groups that mix about as well as bleach and ammonia. (Take our present political division as an example.) It's not that these tribes cannot coexist, but rather that the leadership, or influencers if you prefer, of these tribes are often hostile to one another. The others in the tribes may have no particular malice toward one another, but humans are highly socially reactive creatures, which is why strong leadership needs to be coupled with equally strong ideals. In any event, tribes are not inherently negative. They provide a sense of similitude which enables people to feel accepted while also fostering trust within the tribe. Whether or not people of other tribes clash with those people is entirely dependent upon whether or not the values of both tribes are incompatible.
5) Finally, I've had it about up to here (you can't see it, but I'm holding my handly flatly parallel to my scalp) with people obsessing over the MBTI's creators' lack of "professional" credentialling. A degree or license doesn't provide you with the knowledge and skills to create new systems of thought, they're merely institutional recognition of those skills and knowledge. Even some trashed-up hobo living under a bridge can have perfectly valid ideas about things, and pretending like they can't only serves to make the individuals scoffing at the uncredentialled seem like snooty elitists. Katherine and Isabel were no less capable of learning new information and utilizing it to it's fullest advantage than any two-bit schmuck with a psychology degree. Colleges and universities don't make people smart, they just provide them with information, and much of the time (particularly in our technologically sophisticated culture) any information you can attain as an active student in an institution can be attained through alternative means. I've never had a day of "higher" education in my life, but unlike most people, I have an innate hunger for understanding. I like to think I've done pretty well expanding my knowledge and developing my critical reasoning skills, all things considered. So let's not pretend like these two womens' level of institutional recognition has anything to do with their ability to learn and develop ideas of their own. It so bizarre to me that anyone who conflate institutional education with intelligence or knowledge...
POST SCRIPT) I realize your professors have their perspectives, and unfortunately, you've been placed in a situation where you've naturally adopted some of those opinions by dint of your proximity to and dependence upon, those selfsame teachers' beliefs. That's the inherent danger of institutionalized education, unfortunately, that you will adopt many of the same attitudes and beliefs of your teachers. This is true in NON-institutionalized educational systems as well, certainly, but the uniformity of beliefs and attitudes in such situations is significantly less pronounced in more independent systems since they're decentralized and teach a much more diverse collection of individuals. But in spite of your educators, I would urge you to approach more subjects with more caution and less presumption. Just because you think you know a thing doesn't mean you know anything about the thing that is remotely accurate. Universities can teach fallacies just as easily as they can teach truths, that's extremely important to remember.

As far as how fixed a personality is, I do agree with you to an extent. People will always change from a behavior perspective, but the core, the cognitive side will stay the same. There is a surprising hidden personality theory I haven't heard much in the "mainstream" called Enneagram, they are one of the few that actually include growth of character in their Theory. also just as an example, the result while simular to say MBTI in that they will give you a "Type" that type is far more complex than just 16. From the surface, there are only 9 types, but those are archetypes, not definitive types. The archetypes are numbered as 1 through 9, and one can further specify by finding out their "wing". This makes it into 18, but one can go even further, there are things called instinctual variants, of which there are three of and one can find out which they lean most on. This narrows it down to 54 different types, but "oh there's more" to channel my inner car salesmen, you can find the Instinctual Variant stack, which determines the order one has for those three instinctual variants. This puts the types at 108, and then you can make it even more complicated by figuring out your tritype by looking at the other "Centers" to see which heart-type, head type, and gut types you have highest(previously mentioned dominant type will already be in one of these three you just have to discover which of the other two). This makes for massive amount of variety, and there is also so much different "paths for growth" that makes sense.
do you know their website still?
@@manololv8 been forever since I have taken a test… I think personality cafe still has a group there for enneagram? Talk to sone of the people there to find info
No personality test can tell you who you are with a few simple questions. You have to go on a journey of self-exploration and true introspection in order to find yourself, a test can only give you a place to start from. No two people are exactly alike, only you know who you really are and what it is you stand for and believe in.
INTJ here. I think that result is spot on, but I never took it too seriously. Also wanna add that I took MBTI twice, about 6 months apart for 2 different classes and the results were the same for me.
I have taken both the Big-5 and the MBTI. Interestingly, the results of the two were in near-perfect confluence with one another. I found both to have functional utility. INFJ-A here.
Yeh me too I have done both and I am an INFJ-A and type 5 when I did the anneagram which is more detailed try it
I’m not sure what kind of psychology it is but all the questions are saying you’re “always” this or “always” that. I think confident and outgoing people are more likely going to answer that they’re “always” something, whereas introverted people may not answer that as much because they may not be as confident to answer that they always do that thing.
I watched this video to inform me about the reliability of this personality test. I agree with those who say that the test only works if you are able to answer with sincerity and self-awareness. The first time I did it I took it lightly and answered roughly - I got "mediator" as a result. It mirrored me enough, but when later I did it more carefully and I got INFJ as a result - I was shocked. The test was able to predict aspects of my personality that I had long noticed but couldn't explain. It was a great relief. I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Maybe it has no scientific basis but I'm sure that if someone bothered to study the brain functioning of people in relation to this test, perhaps evidence based on facts would emerge that this test - born from intuitions and old psychological theories - is indeed valid
It's already been done: The Neuroscience of Personality by Dario Nardi (Professor at UCLA). Not to mention the 5 aspects of the Big 5 are the same ones on the MBTI.
u got it wrong dude..
- The 4 MBTI letters are just a code to get the hierarchy of the 8 functions Jung discovered.
- You can't judge the whole theory by the test which is just a poor mean invented to know ur type when there is no type expert around and u know nothing about the theory.. the test is basically is making it's best guess to know ur type.
- Introversion means ur most used Function is subjective or focuses on the inside world and vice versa.
- The theory is mainly used for personal development , when u know ur weak functions u should work on developing them.. and as u develop ur personality changes but type(the hierarchy of the functions) never change.
there is enough evidence to support the theory.. look up Dario Nardi or Objective personality.
- The theory is much more than the type descriptions u read.
- It's a great predictor of various things ..look the statistics on types .. for example the ENTJs in average earn 100% more than INFPs.
with some practice with the theory u will get how obvious it's .. I can type people after a 5 m talk and I am right most of the time.

The issue with the personality tests isn't necessarily that they're wrong, it's that you shouldn't take the test thinking you're going to make your personality whatever it tells you to. They're supposed to reflect what you already are, and maybe call to attention what you haven't noticed, not create new traits or be a guideline
I was skeptical of Myers Briggs for many many years until one day I decided to take the test and was blown away by how accurate the results were. I felt like my type had me pegged quite accurately. I read the other 15 and didn’t feel any kinship with those. So as a result of this experience I became sold on the validity of MBTI. I’m always amused when I see people who downplay it or didn’t find it helpful. I found it tremendously helpful.
I’ve seen people skeptical of the very idea of personality typology. I don’t think there are 7.5 billion personalities. I do believe that in a large population you can begin to group people together based on common personality traits and you will begin to see trends and patterns. Whether MBTI does this well can be debated but I don’t think it’s an invalid proposition to note that personalities, though diverse, can be grouped into broad categories.
To drive my point further just look at mental illness. We have a category called schizophrenia and there are types of schizophrenia but it’s a pretty well mapped out class of mental illness. If we believe that every human is truly unique than why is it that a certain population exhibits classic symptoms of the same mental illness? So my point is that if mental illnesses can be differentiated from one another into separate groups based on certain criteria (schizophrenia vs OCD), why can’t personality as well?
I understand that not everybody is going to fit easily into a category. And even being in a category doesn’t mean you lack nuance or exceptions. Everything is a spectrum. But I don’t take issue with the idea of broad categories and for that I do like the MBTI.
Ironic that you call yourself "ScienceGuy" but your argument is completely subjective and anecdotal.
wrt to the Schizophrenia comparison, there are many subtypes under the same illness, and patients can respond drastically differently to the same treatment.
Sure, you can say that when there are billions of people on Earth, surely we must share some common traits.
However, like this video has already mentioned, the MBTI test is inaccurate in assessing whether an individual possesses these traits and also does not measure them on a spectrum but rather as binaries.
If one is using it simply as an introduction to personality assessment then sure, nobody is going to judge him/her. But many trainers who are paid to conduct the MBTI test make ludicrous claims like predicting how well an individual is suited for certain occupations (as if they have any evidence to prove these claims in the 1st place) and this could be very harmful for impressionable youths.
Zehao Zhu I don’t know what perceived claim you’re trying to rebut. I never claimed that my own subjective experience should be taken as evidence for the validity of MBTI but that I was personally convinced of its validity from my own experience. I never said others should agree with me based on my experience. However, the argument I did make was against the blanket claim that personalities don’t cluster, and I do disagree with that claim and think it is rather silly. If a person wants to reject or criticize MBTI that’s their prerogative and I don’t care enough to argue with them but they typically reject it on the grounds that personalities don’t cluster at all and that was the point I was trying to make. I don’t believe personalities don’t cluster so anyone rejecting MBTI needs to then come up with a better model that maps that clustering. And like I said before, clusters don’t eliminate nuance or exceptions. There will always be outliers and certain nuances.
Regarding MBTI coaching, that’s not something I’m familiar with. I never hired anybody to tell me what I should do based on my personality type. But I did find it tremendously illuminating.
@@ThatOneScienceGuy What is your MBTI?
I do agree with @ScienceGuy's point.
"why is that certain populations exhibit the exact same symptoms of mental illness"
That's because we only have the symptoms to base ourselves off. For example with schizophrenia we have almost no understanding of the physiological causes behind it. It could be possible that there are 10 different diseases that all result in schizophrenia, but because we don't understand the underlying causes we group it all into a single illness.
Science is incredibly behind in terms of understanding the human mind so we shouldn't pretend that what we think we know is definitely what is actually going on.
So, take it not to take the test seriously, but to self-reflect?
you would be taking the test seriously if you really use self-reflection
KAST96 basically yeah
Or just to be entertained
I love how he says that MBTI, which has benefited millions of people, is not credible because it was made by two housewives and is not scientifically backed.. and then he promotes a new assessment that has "huuundreds" of comments on it, and says, "that's good enough for me." 🤔 ~INFJ
You really research anything substantial about MBTI did you? This is not what’s its about, dear lord.
The paradox is, it is indeed true that nobody know's yourself better than your self. But bias is always going to come in play when you answer a questionnaire, and not only that, but we change our behavior constantly based on our bias. I think personality is just how we approach any given situation with what we've been exposed to, and it's really hard to define how someone handles life on a day to day basis given any situation without following that person around everywhere they go, and like I mentioned earlier true authenticity is rare. Questionnaires to a degree if taken honestly give you some picture, but I think bias plays a role in determining what true personality type you are, and even if we were to assess a person perfectly, things might change. Also it's hard to define a personality type knowing how little we actually understand human complexities.
Whatever my personality is,i accept it wholeheartedly
i’m an INFJ, taken the test 5 times and gotten the same thing so!!!!!
Hey Kevin, how about a video on the different learning styles (visual, audio, and kinesthetic)? I’m taking some tests to see which one I am and how I can take advantage of it for school, but I’m seeing some conflict in the validity and effectiveness of the theory. Thanks for all the helpful videos! 🙌🏻
This man really put into words what I've been feeling about the MBTI test for years now.
I use to be addicted to personality tests, by that I mean I put my own answers then answer the opposite of my answers to see if it actually means anything.
Overall I concluded that they’re mostly BS
Except that there is actual evidence for the validity and reliability of the Big Five.
The Pooh pathology test I find is good. It doesn’t really measure personality per se, it’s more mental health.
I'm about to get tested for personality from a psychiatrist and it resonated with me that phrase: “[a personality test] can only tell you what you tell them”, because the only hidden secret to my character they're trying to figure out is whether I meet the criteria for a personality disorder or not… Actually, I'm a little bit skeptical about personality disorders in general and that's why I'm watching these videos. 🤷🏻♂️
I took personality test multiple times
And i always get infj
And every minute thing about infj totally describes me.
I was always skeptical about personality tests, until I was handed my Predictive Index results. Some people are offended and skeptical, but it pegged me, dead on. I was surprised that PI was not included in you video.
Mbti works lol, the guy who made the video just didn't know how it worked. Although not many people do.
mbti and carl's theory isn't bad, it's the tests thay are bad, cause you need more than some questions to tell you your type, it's better to ask a psychologue or someone that's good at typing ppl about your type
Can you please make a video on the effect of changing attitudes towards payment systems in the US, particularly singlepayer, and how that might affect doctors salaries for the upcoming classes?
I know it's not got a lot of scientific validity but MBTI is a lot of fun, I find it useful by comparing it to the big 5 model (although tbh it's probably more accurate to just use the big 5 model lol)
Which is why I have developed an excel sheet to track them all and eventually develop a composite. . .when they are all taken of course. . .
I used the mbti moreso as a general tool to figure out some of my general traits. I wouldn't ever say it's 100% accurate (most tests of any kind aren't 100% accurate) and it's definitely more of a general overview of your personality rather than a dead-on accurate test. Your personality as a whole is much more complex and intricate than any test can probably ever nail down, human personality is dependant on so many different variables that it's almost impossible to account for every single one of them in just one test. I'd just say that it's a very general tool and that while you shouldn't take it too seriously, you should always be 100% honest with yourself when answering the tests to get the most accurate results. And if anyone actually gives a crap, I have the "ISTP" mbti personality.
Actually, on most test I’ve gotten INFJ-T and a different INFJ that I can’t recall.
All the comments about "Well, I get a [ ] 100% of the time, so it's a legit test!" I'm dead! That just means you answer the questions reliably the same every time (which is not the case for everyone). That does not mean that the MBTI test is is not a BS test with weird categories. It's just fun as a party game and there's nothing wrong with that.
I think a big aspect of the MTBI is that once you see something, you tend to see it everywhere. I really love cool sciencey stuff and I'm kinda blunt sometimes and when I did the test and found out what entp meant, I remembered every time I annoyed someone or looked up an article since that's what the test told me. If it displayed a completely random one every time, there's a good chance I would have agreed with it but i might just be saying this because I am a debater entp
Yea, I have tried the test SOOOOO many times at different points in my life and it always says the same thing. I'm an enfp and I would say that title reflects my cognitive functions and natural instincts fairly well.
ngl mbti might not tell much but it's pretty good. not exactly good at what it tries to do, but it's good for determining your personality at the moment. it's not like horoscope, for it is partially true. it's true because it just takes whatever you tell it and repeats it back to you, but it can still draw a pretty good conclusion or help you realize what your bad traits are. it's not military grade or anything, and very much isn't professional nor fit for actual psychic analysis, but it can help people understand you better. it's not very accurate and can change as your personality changes, but it's good enough for the general public. it doesn't really go as deep as other tests do, that's partially why it is so easy to get different results each time - it just looks at your surface behavior and tells you what is safe to assume from that. i think it's mostly popular because it has a lot of types and it's easy to at least to some degree define yourself with one of them. people just use it because saying the four letters is easier than explaining your personality on your own - this way the test does it for you. i used to partially interact with the mbti "fandom" and saw a lot of people actually encouraging others to take more advanced tests or to retake the mbti test often so your results would stay "up to date". it's a pretty fun thing, might not be too accurate but honestly it is just really interesting to be able to look at a person and have them tell you some letters which instantly make your get to know them at least a bit better and get some kind of picture about them, even if based solely on stereotype. humans love to categorize stuff and the test is perfect for that. by the way i'm pretty happy with the fact it was probably accurate for me! kind of forgot about the test but when i retook it after two years i was still an istp somehow. was expecting to get something, anything, different since my results were kinda on the fence the first time but it just confirmed the initial assignment even more. idk if i agree with it but it seems to do the trick when it comes to introducing myself, and some of the aspects are pretty relatable to me. in the beginning took the test just for the memes but began liking the idea of this simplified way of knowing somebody's behavior. it's really interesting, feels kinda like a social experiment and those are always fun.

What it do baybeeee
INFJ here... MBTI has been a passionate hobby of mine for 30 years (since age 16). not even kidding. I've recently had an earthquake, however... I knew about the Big 5, but could not see its value over the ever-popular MBTI. After my earthquake, and being forced to reconsider EVERYthing in life, I now see the flaws (that experts like the MedSchool Insider) have been stating. I do love the Big 5, as it really does show you HOW you are, compared to 99 other people. It is the first of its kind to use computational power with which to verify. You answer 100 questions and the computer tabulates your numbers in each of the 5 most common traits. With the MBTI, it was like a special award to receive the result of INFJ. It didn't cause any urge for change. After the epiphany of my Big 5 results, it has been difficult to accept the reality of me. But, with work, continual care, changes can come about.
@@LAUREL5784 Wow cool story, good luck!
LaurelBlue I’m an ENTP and working to improve myself, but I doubt anything really matters in the end. Everything is up to us ya know
Excuse me, but tarot cards are not for telling your personality. It can be used for that but then you will not only choose one card.
INFJ...good perspective, compelling on the negatives of some of these tests. And btw, yes. I've often thought that each test is limiting re describing the 'person'.
Great video !
And what about the personality test of the Process Communication Model?
Socionics > Enneagram > 5 temperaments > MBTI. MBTI =/= Jungian. Socionics =/= Jungian. Enneagram provides levels of health and self-improvement built into the theory.
All three theories describe traits that are neither "bad" nor "good", just your tendencies. I'm not gonna become an extrovert, logic minded, practical, in the moment person no matter what I do; I will always lean the other way unless I have extreme trauma that flips me. And it is not laziness or giving up, nor do these theories suggest that. Being severelly mentally ill makes me much more reactive than I would be otherwise, though, so I suppose it's right that someone could change their percentage of traits in the Big 5 theory. In MBTI and socionics, though, the functions pair and so it is not meant to be about percentages at all. Furthermore, in MBTI, Fe types are more in tune with EQ than other types tend to be; it is not about "not thinking".
Socionics is more in depth than MBTI because it uses 8 function placements instead of 4, the function placements are more significant, and provides possible (in)compatibilites between types.
I like these theories because they open my mind to how other people think much more than Big 5 ever could.
All tests for MBTI, socionics, and enneagram are bad. And it is not because the theories are bad; it is because the theories are too complex for a simple test. The only way to know your type is to familiarize yourself with the theory and each function. Big 5 is convenient due to its simplicity, but all theories provide unique insights.
Hey, what do you think about enneagram?
when i look at personality its possible we have core personality traits in which that are not bound to change an further develop as we grow and the rest is outer influence being how we grow up who we look up to etc which could explain the meta data analysis.
I need to learn more. Have an idea I'd like to program and turn into a cool way for people to interact or even date...but I think I may need more info now that I know so many different versions of these tests, personality or otherwise, exist.
whether these tests be this or that, in their real world application, they are almost always used to sort out people who are smarter or more creative than the employers, or at best identify them and prevent their promotion…
they also help to identify the most pedantic, obedient, and immoral(those least resistant to “administering the electro shock therapy”… for science) so they can be promoted and one day sit on a board, saying yes to the edicts and ideas of black rock and vanguard management group
Couldn't The Big 5 do the same categorization that MBTI does? MBTI's traits are also measured on a spectrum, they just give you a letter depending on which side you lean most to. If The Big Five did this and had a clean website I'm sure it'd do fine.
Everytime i take personality tests the results are always different I went from intj to entj to istj to istp to intp someone helppp
You seem very IxFP (particularly INFP). There's little reason why you'd ask if it wasn't likely people would guess it - my initial guess was ESTJ, however, the anima of INFP (inferior Te) seeks recognition, whilst dominant Fi enjoys mystery. Child Si explains your clamoring to statistical data and lengthy background information on the topic. And, yet again, INFPs are also notorious for needing conversation about one's self to self-actualize on a subconscious level, which also explains your interest in the topic of personality tests as well - it began as an Fi thing, and ended as a Te thing for you. Another thing is, is that the exclusive news letter thing is a typical INFP move - all about prestige, exclusivity, and loyalty.
But this is all probably just a trick, because you said the results were inconsistent- which I would particularly like to offer the argument that people are also inconsistent, and each MBTI is actual a map of your personality on your conscience/non-conscious levels, so really you have 4 types, which is why the system is flawed, because people only massage their ego, neglecting to evaluate their other levels of consciousness (sub, un, and super ego).
Now, how close am I?
Close close my guy. Very close. INTx?
@@jasoncg2956 If you're asking my type, it's INFJ.
@@--...--...--... Oh, I can see it now.
I found the Cube Test to be very accurate for me. But you'll better off doing it first very honestly and without looking at how the results are procured until you've done it.
make video on " which face shape is more attractive ,how to look attractive,about face shape and structure etc ...plseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sir
And very conveniently avoided Socionics.....
What program do you use to make your videos? They're great!
Aight, ignoring all the MBTI down people because reliability for that test is bull which limits validity of any test. A test can't be valid if it isn't reliable. The MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF have been extensively tested for both reliability and validity. There were obvious concerns about the original test devised in the 70's with a limited population, but this was taken into consideration for the most recent edition of the MMPI, and is being further revised to create the MMPI-3 (coming to a clinical assessment office near you hopefully soon). Many of the questions on there that seem weird are either related to measuring defensiveness, or are non-face value correlates to underlying psychopathological constructs such as somatic symptoms or physiological symptoms that relate highly with certain psychological conditions such as people with high anxiety and depression often get sick so that's a question. We can go over whether these non-face value questions are important, but their intention is in an attempt measure whether people are telling the truth, whether intentionally or not, and extensive research is " fact-checking" it as we speak.
People often subconsiously pic wrong answers, because they think that they are like that, but the are not.
But MBTI is a collection of spectrums! Not fixed definate concepts
You should do a video on having a job during college/med school
I used to think I was an ENFP, but after researching cognitive functions, I think I have the Fe function, making me an ENTP instead, which may explain my short fuse.
Those who don't understand or study psychology will support MBTI without remembering that there is SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for the reliability (or lack thereof) of said test. Just because it works for you 7/10 times doesn't mean it works just as well for others (discounting the Barnum effect which probably affects most people more than they think it would). And in research, numbers matter. Not your own feelings or opinions. You are just ONE person.
There needs to be a personality test that first helps you get to know yourself better. Or at least a personality type for people who don’t know who the fuck they are, or they are all the types…
ENFP. Took it 3 times. Interesting video.
I love personallity typology, but tests are horrible, you usually have to do research and self reflections to type yourself or others. The MBTI for example isn’t thinking or feeling its based of stuff like extraverted-feeling (Fe) or introverted-feeling (Fi) but the enneagram with instinctual variants? Oh lord is that a interesting system
We force ourselves into these roles
Although the Myers Briggs leaves us room to grow
I am a dumb university student who studies economics and loves psychology. I do not really know anything about these tests, have done the 4 letter test and felt completely clueless if it was reliant so I never really trusted it. What I would like to add, and do not know if it has been implied in any of the content above, is that in a question like "Do you follow a schedule?"; my answer would be "No, I definately don't" but my inner though and will is "I want to follow a schedule and might need it my life". Does this small but significant difference create a gap between the tester and the one being tested?
I was super shocked by the incredibly condescending and sexist dismissal of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs-Myers as "two uneducated housewives" regardless of what you think about MBTI.
Though MBTI lacks scientific credibility, and is quite flawed. The test is much more reliable than tarot and palm reading as it makes analysis' based on relevant data. Making statements about personality based on the personality itself is better than telling the future based on a random selection of cards or the location of the stars. You will never get the opposite results on a subsequent MBTI test, and changing types from one test to the next says a lot about how the person took the test or how someone else wrote it. That doesnt actually change a persons traits, and the more borderline that you are on a trait the more likely you are to get a different result. Obviously the fact that people's types change over time is a problem for the system and it is clearly inherently flawed. However it isn't random and it has some level of efficacy, which is more than can be said for astrology and other psuedoscience.
so about the MBTI... it chooses extrovert or introvert. what about ambiverts?
Personality is an extremely abstract concept that requires many different theories and explanations to understand it. MBTI in relation to E v I N v S T v F and P v J is almost meaningless. The 4-letter code is simply a classification of much more complex scientific method of socionics and Jungian analytical cognitive psychology. The 16 personalities test is inherently faulty because it asks questions that do not test function use, and people do not view themselves accurately (It took me 5 times to even find my correct type) but it doesn't mean that the entire model of 16 personalities is inaccurate. I am considered an ENTP and have been all my life my leading cognitive functions are Extroverted intuition and Introverted Thinking with Extroverted Feeling being my Child function and Introverted Sensing being my inferior function. Please truly research the scientific parts of sociotype and do not trash an entire idea on the basis of one wrong interpretation or ignorance. It’s all based on cognitive functions preference and our personalities are consistent and not changing as time goes but rather going through development growth and stress. As humans,we often view ourselves through a faulty lens and it is until we can understand our weaknesses that we can truly begin to understand how to grow. There are many articles explaining all of this. Never compare cognitive psychology to mysticism and tarot cards because they aren't even within the same realm of thought. Do not subject yourself to ignorance especially as a med doctor and influencer. Do proper research into the ins and outs of everything you are explaining before posting a video on it and misleading people.
Noone ever tells more about mbti function stacks...
I’ve taken it multiple times over the years and always gotten intp I always took it with a grain of salt tho
Enneagram type 9 here
Me too 9w8
INTJ, INTP, INFJ or ENTJ, oh shit when i think about it i may be INFP, OR ENFP perhaps ENTP
I don't see why different results on the test mean its a wrong model. You can only say the accuracy of the results are often not very inaccurate, based on your self-image and recent experiences/ perspectives. Furthermore I think your explanation of the "mutual-exclusiveness" isn't very accurate, since the decoding of the MBTI isn't as easy as just looking at the letters. Also the MBTI shows how people judge things based on types of perception, which seems to me like a very important part of how you deal with stress and pressure. Nothing about it is exclusive, it just deals with preferences, which has a high impect on the decision making process of people. - Don't judge a fish by its ability to climb trees ;) - But there could obviously be major flaws I'm overlooking
I took the test at several different sites. Answered the questions honestly. The scores where all over the place. On had me at 100% intellect another at zero.
I really think because I marked that I don't vote liberal is the reason for the zero%.
Any way I think it sucks.
This guy obviously doesn't understand Myers Briggs at all "Unfortunately for MBTI, people are not binary" yeah, no duh.
INTJ is my guess for Dr Jubbal
Same lmfaoooooooo
ESTJ is my guess. Straight up on facts, credentials are important, and shares his researched facts.
Can't see why he would do plastic surgery.
So he explains how unreliable MBTI is and you just suggest a type for him? Hah.
@@taniaackerman his info is based on unconscious incompetency. Selective facts but no professional experience
@@jimhlee Excuse you? MBTI IS and always was bullshit. It's about as reliable as horoscopes. It is a fact.
ENFP trying to find any sense of meaning and or purpose :’)
5:35 i dont know. When i was reading the INFJ personality info. I was getting flashbacks to my whole life in representation of everything article said. Even weaknesses. I also dont think its that binary, its more of which side is dominant. Thats why it has percentages of what side you are on. Me im more dominant on my introverted side. But i still have around 30% extraverted. Some traits im almost equal between the 2.
I dont think ant persinality type can tell you who you are exactly. But giving a general idea of yourself doesnt discredit it
6:12 as you said humans are on a spectrum. Isnt it natural some would get different results? You gotta look at the consistency between their results. Not just the fact they got different results.
6:40. I believe you are unfairly dumbing down what MBTI is saying. None of these subjects are treated as binary. Like at all
What about The Birkman Test ?
Sunscreen drys my skin out and makes it feel tighter example if I put it on my hand and then made a fist after being outside for idk maybe 30 mins and I try to make a fist it. Feels like the skin will just RIP apart.
I used to like mbti but now I’m halfway between two types and I don’t fit into either very well. They’re both just sort of wrong.
It's just the new horoscope isn't it.
ENFP ;)
You'll marry an INTJ. I married a enfp. I had no idea until after.
Its a common pairing
@@guineapig1016 As little as I'm convinced in this whole MBTI thing, for laughs, I'm an INTJ who married an INTJ.
omg i took the rorschach test and at the end it just kept asking me about clorox
Look up DaveSuperPowers
I'm not saying you're wrong about mbti per se but it's been incredibly accurate for me. Not perfect or covering everything thoroughly, but it's always come up INTP every time I've taken it over the past 8 years.
And I can always call out an INTJ they stick out like sore thumbs. Stereo topical nerds
Is that Intp sense of humor because that's very funny 😁 intjs are the most stylish nerds come on 😎
Lol no I like intjs. They tend to be easy for intps to get along with. That's true with me. They just always stand out to me
@@eDumke87 I understand that you like intjs, both types are compatible on so many different levels. I myself find intps so much fascinating. But sorry and no offense : you are the stereotypical nerds ... At least on a first glance level ^^ of course both types, like every types, are more than their stereotypical representations ;)
My English is pretty bad this is not my first language but I hope you get the idea.
Have a nice day man.
We're weird. But not nerds stereotypically. I am friends with 4 intjs. 3 build computers and the fourth runs a comic book store. They're great guys. They just all wear glasses, hate the sun, wear a big splotch of sunscreen on their nose, and debate about science and super heroes. I love hanging out with them. Its interesting. I think I just about them because I constantly tweek with their scientific positions and what not to see what happens.
You're English is great
And you have a nice day too. 😊
This is why most of the MBTI community hates 16personalities… the binary system is so terrible and no one can truly identify with their type. The preferred method for typing is using Jung’s Cognitive functions and putting them in a specific stack order… this allows for a person to both have thinking and feeling, just different types of thinking and feeling. From my experience, it’s still a little hard to navigate, but WAY more accurate and true to human nature than 16personalities
INTJ here.
