@@ponchoking55 Ha…whereas me as an INFP…my boss in retail (INFP hell) told me I was the first person EVER to successfully hide a job hunt from her even though I was doing it for months. Usually disaffected employees or people looking to move on showed SOME kind of sign of mentally checking out or disengaging but she had ZERO clue until I handed her my two weeks’ notice. I didn’t like her so I was rather proud of myself for making her have to replace an assistant manager with no forewarning except the absolute minimum requirement in the US.
Oh Kristin, you just nailed this. My son the ENFJ was in security as a summer job while he was in university. The drunks and homeless loved him because he was so kind. He ended up being a primary school teacher and the children love him.
I'm an INFJ and did college security for a year. I was called security mom. I did my best not to give out parking tickets. Now I'm in special education
The best teacher I had growing up was, I very strongly suspect, an ENFJ. Amazingly competent and kind. She was one of the finalists for the (ill-fated) Challenger space shuttle, but wasn't selected. That was a surreal Tuesday morning when we watched a recording of the launch in class.
ENTPs make great science or math teachers IMHO. My physics teacher at high school was an ENTP, who highly disliked the education system. He had a genuine passion for the subject. He used to refer to memorisation of information as an 'illegal' method to pass examinations. Of all the physics teachers I'd had, he was hands-down the best. -INTJ
I feel like I had a ENTP latin teacher once. The thing is, we hardly had homework and when we did it was things like, CREATE A VIDEO by acting out the story of one of the classic roman stories that she only told in her own words... so the only stories I remember were like "Yeah so this princess and poor dude fell in love and they ran away together but end up dying" basically. and this was before tik tok or anything so we werent comfortable infront of a camera. Also, im introverted.
As an ENTP, I'd say anything that involves a lot of bureaucracy or customer service would probably be my nightmare job. Teaching would be rough if I didn't have any freedom to teach in the way I thought would be best.
My ENFP husband is a computer engineer/analyst. His desk is littered with figurines, he has amusing art on the walls, and if he doesn't have time to take a break to talk to people he literally goes insane. He usually breaks away to call me to make plans and problem solve (comfort Te at its finest).
Haha nearly the same but as an INFP who sits and works in excel all day. From home. Surrounded by guitars, playstation, action figures, and my social time is taking up an entire virtual meeting connecting with 1 or 2 people on out favorite books and youtube channels. I’m essentially a 40 year old teenager who can afford a house.
INFJ Politician: I can't make false promises. ENTJ Therapist: Can't we just make false promises? This was a fun concept, Kristin, being a politician would definitely be my idea of hell.
(INFJ) Considering that I'm terrible at lying, it very much would be the top level of hell. Though the ISFJ scenario of having to fire someone is a very close second.
@kindauncool I (INFJ) can lie pretty well- I just can't sleep well after. That Ni Ti is like LIE = DESTRUCTION. FIX THIS. And then I find a way to tell them the truth in an easy to digest format. I'd like to be an INTJ and blatantly state facts, but I like Ti. Can't I be NiFiTiSe? 🥲
If there was a protest for asking dear kristin to make another version of this video for no other reason than to have an INFP clone trooper, I'd attend it.
That would have been my (late) ISTJ husband! He had such a technically difficult job I couldn’t begin to do, and yet he was scared of my admin role where I had to answer the phone and coordinate people and events 😂 (I’m an ENFP). I love ISTJ’s. You guys are amazing❣️
@@Pandorash8 we really are all built different. I can get secondhand social battery drain so I have a lot of respect for those who are constantly organizing people either on the phone or in person.
As an INTP, I would absolutely hire the INTJ to be my receptionist based on that performance. Only people who desperately need to talk to me would get past her.
Secretary work is fine, in the sense that it's intermittently annoying to us like every other job (because people). We have no problem being gatekeepers. Just don't put us at reception, because it's way crazier than what's depicted.
INTJ here- and I don't think its actually the work that is the problem. INTJs tend to be organized and able to communicate directions very well. its just that INTJs tend to lose patience quickly, and be overly blunt- especially if annoyed or pushed. So the person bothering the receptionist, or asking really stupid questions, is going to get an earful.
My INTJ sister didn't like working at restaurants because she didn't like being fake nice to people. Of course, for people with more extroverted feeling (Fe), it's not fake it just comes more naturally. I'm ESTJ and I like working in hospitality but I had to learn over years how to be more polite, and I'm still not a warm person.
@@eden1909three people have been murdered at a car wash in my area since its opening two years ago. Matress firms just can't offer the same level of hygienic security 🙈
@@erneuerteseinfuhlungsvermogen9 Yeah, I don't know who you're talking about, but I bet they really loved all people like a typical INFJ. Am I right? Am I right?
INTJ: This is why I tend to just go "Hmm..." and nod when people talk to me. Unfortunately, sarcastic comments aren't worth losing my job over... as tempting as they may be... -.-
INTP Flight Attendant...? Ah yes, the joys of customer service. 😁 My favorite person ever for dealing with the public was an ISTP named Cecil, who was nearing retirement at the time (20+ years ago now). He worked at a small engine repair shop attached to the feed store at which I was employed... and he simply didn't care one ounce when a customer was unhappy with him or his work. Cecil knew he'd done his job and done it well and he was unfazed by other people's agitation over what he (correctly, in my view) perceived as nonsense. I walked by one day when his supervisor was trying desperately and uncomfortably to calm an irate customer, while Cecil simply stood by with a huge grin, chuckling every time the customer cursed or raised his voice... which was frequent... which would just set the customer off again on another rage-fueled tirade. It was inspiring, and I learned a lot from observing Cecil... including a huge appreciation for ISTPs. -- INTP
Yeah I learned a lot from the ISTPs too. And ignoring offensive people is the most important part. And to grin when they narcissism let them outrage. I really hate to shame other people. INTP Another epic video.❤❤❤❤
Unpopular opinion but it sounds like Cecil's lack of communication with them was part of the problem. Not that he did anything wrong, and the customer was in the wrong, but if he had used his words and explained the situation I'm guessing they would be less irate. They were probably upset at the fact that he doesn't seem to care, and don't know enough about cars to know whether he did his job right.
I worked door to door sales with an ESTP guy once. He was pretty good at it - better than INTP me - except he couldn't work on Saturdays because he had weekend detention for a drink driving conviction(s). INTP me did not have this problem. More because I can't drive than I don't drink.
@@huntedsnark7507 We each knocked on our own doors. Though the idea of the ESTP knocking on a door then running away and leaving me to talk to the householder now seems surprisingly plausible.
(INFP) Oh my gosh that couldn't have been more accurate! I would absolutely hate doing anything remotely close to the military, it's the worst in every way. Strict orders, super bland, dangerous, unnecessary, all those things. This video was amazing, thank you!
Yeah and my morals would't work with it. I see the good and bad in all people, my dillema would be way to high. I mean sometimes they have to kill children if the oponent etc. I'm already in a dillema when I watch dokumentaries about animals, for example a polar bear and a seal ☠️, the baby polar bear needs the seal to survive but the seal is also way too cute to be eaten 🥲. Nature is just so cruel
Of all the possible jobs I thought you might choose for the ISTJ, you definitely found the worst. 🙂 In my mind all the motivational speaking anyone should need is "If it needs to be done, get over your feelings and do it." Speaking in front of a crowd is bad enough, but having to appeal to their *feelings* too? A literal nightmare.
I’ve given many presentations and talks in front of groups, but having to force emotion is something else entirely. I recognize how little emotion my face shows when I’m giving a talk, but there’s nothing I can do to change it 😅
@@HPcedarpoint13Have you seen the Droopy cartoons? My ESFJ sister and ISFJ brother used to call me Droopy, mostly because of his repeated monotone line, "I'm so happy." Apparently that's what I looked like to them when I tried to convince them I was actually happy, despite having no expression on my face. They just thought it was funny.
Try watching Dennis Prager. Whether or not you agree with his politics, he is an ISTJ who can get that sort of advice through to people very effectively. I find him very calming and levelheaded, and love the fact that he doesn’t have to raise his voice to defend his convictions, just quietly tells it like it is. As an INFP raised by Te-doms I can be very distrustful of people who can’t do that without getting completely wound up because I know how I am in that state and rational isn’t it.
Lol, why does the INTJ look like they are too good at their job. Like someone who could be that blunt naturally and still keep that job must be like god-send. Lmao!
They are exceptionally organized and have developed a well-optimized system that keeps everything on schedule. They don't like the job, but it's a cakewalk for them to do for a paycheck.
We're organized but the clip didn't depict the madness that is reception work. A typical 20-minute period in a receptionist job involves: - you have one person in front of you for something - three people are behind that person, waiting for them to be done - you need to look at the fax - you need to print 20 versions of a Powerpoint presentation for a meeting, because people - one of your managers just emailed you about something - another manager just emailed you to book a flight and hotel for them - another manager just emailed you to schedule a meeting with someone, so you have to confirm the time with the other person and book the meeting room - the mail just came in and you have to triage - the phone is ringing and there are 6 lines waiting - one of the people waiting in line gets upset they have to wait and starts yelling at you even if there's already someone in front of you. Now you have to de-escalate the situation even though you think the yeller is a complete idiot. - you've managed to answer one of the calls and now you have to transfer them somewhere - one of the calls you've already transferred calls you again because the person you transferred them to wasn't answering - someone calls to ask where another person is You can never finish a single task without getting interrupted, which violates our Te, and you're so overwhelmed by Se that you can't do anything else, forget Ni planning. I freaking hate reception work. Never put an INTJ at reception unless they ask for it.
ISFP here. I'm driven by a strong sense of right and wrong, so I think I might actually be harsher than average on criminals who have committed serious, reprehensible acts. Conversely, I would probably be lenient on morally ambiguous crimes like speeding and drug possession (without intent to sell). And I would absolutely throw the book at anyone convicted of a crime where they preyed on the weak. You know, like when you hear about somebody scamming an elderly person out of their life savings. That stuff really bothers me. Maximum allowed sentence for those criminals. No possibility of parole.
As an ENFP, I experience ISFPs as very gentle and extremely tolerant in everyday life...until their values are deeply violated, then they become a shark!
I thought about it as an INFJ and yeah, that would really be the worst job ever. Making false promises on a daily basis and fooling so many people is just too much culpability to handle, couldn't stop thinking about all these people who count on you and trust you that you're going to deceive. Horrible. Good thing is becoming a politician isn't exactly a common job so that's quite reassuring. We would probably make terrible politicians actually because we would genuinely care too much for people. How ironic.
I'm an entp teacher and that's exactly how I act around kids. I have a hard time remembering their names, I hate the new curriculum, I often postponed grading and making monthly report, and the worst part is I can't help but get cringed everytime they told me their middle school type of problem because it reminded me of my past. They still like me, of course, I don't know why though. But I decided to resign from the job the upcoming semester because of guilt, I don't think I'm suitable to be a teacher lol
You sound down to earth. It doesn’t mean you’re unsuitable just because you don’t fit into a box of how teachers generally are. If your students feel comfortable in your classes and enjoy being taught by you and you have compassion for what they are going through, that’s a win! Some of the worst teachers are the ones who fail to do that, like they’ve never known what it’s like to be a student or be struggling or hate the workload.
I'm ISTP and tried out teaching at a small tech school one year. I had some of the same problems and decided that although it went well in many ways, I wasn't cut out for it.
@@kindauncoolthat's what I told them lol, something like "trust me, you should stop because this is so embarrassing you'll regret doing this in the future" and they listen lmao I wanted to be a cook since elementary school so i think I'll go with that after resigning (I have near zero experience in cooking and business lol)
I'm a ENTP and a Chemistry teacher, I DESPISE the education system and it is really hard for me to remember their names. But I really enjoy teaching, especially when I can get them to think outside the box and draw the right deductions for themselves, I feel it's the only way to really understand science! And yes, I really give them little homework, with tools like ChatGPT and etcetera that do it for them it's completely useless nowadays xD
I recomend you to watch the anime assassination classroom (if you haven't already) Koro-sensei is ENTP and one of the best fictional characters ever. ENTP teachers do have a huge impact since they treat all age groups on level. My husband is ENTP, the way he interacts with our children is sooo wonderfull, the way he is able to switch back to happy and smiling right after we had a fight, for the sake of our children is amazing. Especially how he talks to Babys is super attractive 😍, his voice get's a pretty high tone, it's just adorable. The way he makes everyone laugh is also on another Level, I love that he has like almost zero emberassment, he just acts like a funny clown on a daily basis, even outside, he doesn't care what people think and speaks his mind. I'm a INFP and we are a great team as parents
I am an INTP. I figured being a school teacher would be most likely my version of hell unless I was in some sort of advanced specialist class at self selects for actual age using students instead of talkative idiots who need to be told the same thing five times a class for two months to understand it. I did actually TA in my degree program at college and found. I definitely know how to instruct. I’ve also worked as a firearms instructor and my side gig is language tutoring. A teacher like you sounds awesome. I always found homework pointless, and so seldom did it especially because I was always so good in my class work and test the grade hit didn’t matter. Much to the grief and rage of my ESTJ mother.
I also think that ENTP was the most off. My mum is ENTP and a great tracher. Given, she left school and now gives museums tours to kids (after 13 years of studying she also got a M.A. in History with 61 now!). But all ENTPs I know love explaining, so teacher is actually perfect. Just... a bit different.
INFP here with two sons doing voluntary military service (ISTJ and ISTP). Me telling them a month ago how had I myself been in service I would have been discharged for refusing to accept orders. You nailed it 😅
I'm an ENFP working as Japanese Language Teacher in some places, including a middle/high school (in my country it's rare to find only middle or only high schools), and despite being an autist and not having been a typical adolescent, I find teaching young people fun most of the time. I also have a high tolerance for children loudness (but not for dog barks), so that maybe helps my case XD
My INTP ass would be trying to stop myself from going "OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, IT IS SO FUCKING OBVIOUS, HOLY FUCK JUST USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN" every 5 seconds if I was a teacher bruh 💀
INFP here. I was a tour guide for several years, and can say that much of the job was really about “adult babysitting”. There are many people who don’t read anything they don’t have to beyond high school, and it really shows in the questions they ask. Likewise, the behaviour of many adults leaves a lot to be desired.
@@midgetman946 I went exactly through this with my sisters in law, while they were in HS. I brought them to tears 3 times. But their marks went up from 5 to 3 (1 is best, 5 and 6 is fail)
I actually had that sad admin clerk job, sitting in a very boring office and dealing with data almost all the time, from time to time only interacting with callers to finish the sale. This was my worst and best job. Worst because obvious ENFP hell, best because it actually led me to realize what I want to do with my life. I've been so jealous of our delivery drivers going out there on adventures, seeing places, meeting customers... and at some point it clicked "hey, why don't I do it too?"And I did and now I'm happy :)
One other thing…my ENTJ dad actually gets pissed off at false promises. (On the other hand try to get him to recognize that he’s pissed off and yelling and suddenly YOU are the one who “can’t control yourself.” 😂)
I had this Chinese history teacher whom I'm pretty sure was an ENTP and she was one of the most engaging/ fun teachers to ever teach the subject while never bothering to remember anybody's names, though she did give us quite a few assignments that had to be done on time since she'd go around checking them. Great video btw -INFJ
I swear to god I had a teacher similar to that ENTP character in this clip. -Had no homework; -Straight up decided to teach us not what he's supposed to but instead something else instead because he believes that's more useful; -I think grades were more a _they exist because no other option_ thing also.
Oh... I'm an ENTP... and an English as a Foreign Language teacher in a Secondary school... and quite good at it!! To be honest, for years I struggled with impostor syndrome because I don't feel I fit in the expectations of what a teacher should be... but turns out my way of seeing the world clicks with the students. I'm very happy in my job :)
The kids are who matter, not bureaucratic red tape 😉👍 ENTPs are great at reconciling multiple viewpoints, so that you are a teacher of bilingual students sounds like the prefect place for you to impact the minds of the future.
I am an INTP and my side gig is actually tutoring in foreign languages. I’m a really weird fit for teaching supposedly - I’m not a people person I’m not really good at taking a personal emotional interest in my students, and I kind of sort of don’t give a dime about what the supposed curriculum or learning order for things is, and I’ll teach all kinds of weird and naughty things that you aren’t supposed to get from the textbook. My students apparently find this interesting and engaging and as a result, learn way more and start becoming actually conversant and literate much earlier.
I know a few ENTP teachers and they are quite common. One of them is really great (even if at first I was afraid of him) he is super interesting, super invested (despite a few excesses where he starts to go really far into the resonances), he's a super passionate person. At first I thought he was more INTP but in the end Ne takes precedence over Ti.
"Surely you can plan creativity." I'm reminded of something one of my drawing professors said: "Amateurs wait for inspiration. Professionals just get to work." Advice I think George RR Martin could use. He and Stephen King and had a discussion on stage about how they write. Martin was amazed by King's ability to put so many words on the page so quickly and consistently.
As an ESTJ I kind of really plan creativity (I do a lot of needlework,sewing,felting etc). I collect a lot of ideas via pinterest etc. and than when I decide for a project I obsess over the planning for like 2-3days. Weighing the pros and cons of materials, patterns, techniques, getting ALL the supplies that I could possibly need. By the time all the stuff arrives I have a detailed plan of everything I need to do in my head. I read instructions like 5 times before I even get the yarn. When something goes wrong hell breaks loose.
@Plueschbaellchen INTM Man with ESTF wife. The way you say you plan creativity is like how she can plan intimacy. When I get into the loving mood, it’s very much spontaneous but she can go about as if completely unaffected until it’s scheduled lovemaking night and then it is absolutely on. That took some getting used to, and I had to learn how to attenuate my level of urges to make sure I would have enough to perform on those particular nights.
ENTPs are the best teachers though. Perfect combination of in-depth understanding of the knowledge, entertaining presentations that actually can keep your atention and disregard for (or if that's not possible, sarcasm about) nonsense like rote repetition, memorisation without context given and overt testing. Also just being cool in general.
ENFP working at a desk job with plain walls and no windows, and no colleagues doing office administration (data entry mostly). I bawled the first week working there and i looked more than a little too glad when my boss comes in for half an hour a day (if ever). Sometimes it felt like purgatory. (Im leaving this job for a new one at an office with ambience and some colleagues) My relief is working a part time job as a banquet server. The mgmt is a nightmare but im gleeful at the prospect that i get to meet and interact with strangers each time. (Just left this because of the mgmt)
As an ENFP, I always thought my nightmare job was being a ticket inspector making people unhappy... But Kristin is right, sitting alone in an office and processing data is even worse... there I would have absolutely no contact with others and couldn't even comfort them...
Agreed, "flight attendant" would be a little much but Ne (new places) and Fe (providing) would compensate somewhat. My "what is the worst job?" thought before watching was something like cold-call sales, where you have to impose upon strangers and success is potentially correlated with dishonesty. - also INTP
@@brobison75 Probably worse would be having to do the same face-to-face... approach people on the street to sell them something you expect they don't want.
INTP: LOL flight attendant would be truly terrible, especially nowadays when passengers are likely to be unreasonable, drunk, or unhinged. 😱 I’m also very short and as physically intimidating as a cupcake, so I wouldn’t get anyone to listen to me, unhinged or otherwise. The job I enjoyed best was when I was a library assistant working the Research & Information desk. I think the head librarian had me figured out pretty quickly (she offered me the job after I had been volunteering for a year as a page and a homework lab tutor) and knew just where to put me. I had to deal with the twinge of panic every time someone approached, but more often than not the patrons were even more nervous to talk to ME, and their questions were always interesting. My job included a variety of responsibilities (creating slide shows for the digital displays, taking minutes at staff meetings, teaching an Intro to Computers class in English and Spanish, updating the library blog, etc.) that kept me engaged and more than made up for the customer service bit. I’d still be there if I hadn’t had to move out of state. 😁
I’m an INFP raised by Te-doms including an ENTJ Air Force colonel. I think possibly the worst job would be to be expected to actually do something physically coordinated. That’s actually the part about the military that wouldn’t work for me rather than the structure because I actually believe in the mission and values. -INFP
@psychoticschmitz7867 The leadership part is NOT my cup of tea. I work as an internal auditor at a large company and now, after my first job (retail) I have sworn never again to go into management. And I don’t think you get to avoid that when enlisted, right? Would be nice to have the physical strength at least so that way I would only be uncoordinated and not also a total wimp!
I loved the ENTP as a teacher saying "everyone's name is Jonny" and written on the board in the background is "Buying me lunch today: Jonny" 😆 Nice detail!
I anticipate many inaccurate stereotypes, unless she chooses to subvert expectations. For example, ISTJs actually hate working, and we prefer to indulge our Fi when we get the chance. We're not Te doms.
you're right, a boring data entry job sounds like an absolute hell for ENFP! I NEED variety in my work, I NEED my messy desk with figurines, pretty calendars, notes, etc and I ABSLUTELY NEED a daily dose of gossiping with my work besties ❤
ISTJ literally disintegrated at her nightmare job: half her body became invisible behind the podium xD (Yes I am aware this is due to your current circumstances limiting your filming options. Still an entertaining watch!)
I'm INTJ and I was commended for my excellent performance as receptionist. Honestly. I was quick and efficient at getting clients to their respective loan agent, as well as directing calls to their targets. And I never wasted company time with idle chat, and I have learned to keep "those kinds of thoughts" in my head where they belong, lol.
As ENFJ tbh I’d hate not being able to ask what made them sleep in the cold night 😭😭😭 I just love experiencing things through people, I love how complex human beings are, it’s so interesting and it’s even more rewarding if I can somehow play a role in solving their issues and helping them see the world as I see it. Full of hope
I’m an ENTJ who needs to do counselling as a significant part of my work. The listen to people complain bit can be tiresome, but the carefully explaining to people how they are ruining their own lives and how to stop bit is quite satisfying. I am a highly sought out counsellor btw.
(ISFP) Oh my god 😭 I've thought so many times about how I'd forgive most "criminals" if they seem like a decent person or had a really hard backstory. There are obvious exceptions for truly terrible people but I care way more about morality than the law, the idea of a "legal" wrong means so little to me compared to whether or not something was actually bad/harmful. I've had so many conversations about this!
I am an ENFP who had a similar job to that with a toxic boss to boot. When I one day fantasised about being hit by a car (mildly), so I wouldn’t have to go to work that day, I knew I needed to quit 😅
That's actually a big trap for INTJs: they are often attracted to higher positions but that requires social skills and enduring emotional people spouting nonsense incessantly...
Oh we probably could - we just wouldn't be able to lie about our campaign in the process. I have somehow ended up in multiple sales jobs over the years, and I have refused to ever lie about our products, or make promises to a customer about them. I once had a customer yell and call me a b*itch because I wouldn't just on the spot tell her what the most comfortable shoes in the store were - just because a pair is really comfortable to me and many other people, doesn't mean they will be for you, and I won't tell you otherwise!
@@amandabaker4678I understand that. I had to do a telemarketing job where I read from a script and sold people a vacation. I was told I sounded too robotic. Like 'Yeah well I'm just trying to get through this lie every call and hoping I don't sell anything (I didn't sell a single one 🎉)". Anyway, I lasted like 3 weeks. 😅 I had to do manual labor where I lifted something so heavy that my tongue went numb from not realizing I was biting it the whole time, and I would do that again over telemarketing.
INTJ who actually had to work as a receptionist here! Spot on Kristin! Though I will say only the bad ones got “the ol’repeat the comment louder” treatment I swear!
I'm ENTP and I'm very good teacher in particular lessons. I'm good with explanations. But I would hate to be teacher of a group and having to correct the homework of the people. 😂😂😂
I think ENTPs make great teachers! I should have specified that this vid is through the lens of moreso which job each type would personally struggle with - ENTP being the red tape/beurocracy/general eduction system in teaching. I think any type can do any job well if they put their mind to it! 😁
@@dearkristin bureaucracy is the worst part of the standard education system XD many times I received offers to give classes to a group of people, but I have always rejected them and have continued giving private classes in my free time. My almost full-time job is in passenger service at an airport, something much better since there is no bureaucracy or extra work to do at home. It's just to solve the problems of the people as quick as possible. XD
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH INFP AND ISTJ IM CRYING AHAHAHA Also as an enfp…I do work with co-workers now but I have to constantly force myself not to talk for 3 hours straight instead of doing my job it’s pretty hard 😢😢 Anyways another splendid video as always wish I could like it 1000 times ❤❤
Low key though I feel like ESTP’s are really good telemarketers when they wanna be. They got that Se-Fe charm to reel people in with the Ti to back it up with logic Idk maybe their worst job would be a therapist
Yeah no. We're bluntly honest and we instinctively want to haze people for their own good. I don't think I'm a good liar, and I am hard to snow, so I don't feel like even trying. She pretty much nailed this one. And my very strong P preference runs counter to the ESTJ's "close the sale!" approach.
As an INTJ I found learning to engage in small talk and smile at people very rewarding both on a professional and personal level.. it was a long road there though 😂 (I am slightly drawn to people as my brain somehow knows I need to bounce my ideas of other people now and then, and observe how those humanoids live their lives in their natural habitat, it is very easy to get tunnel vision and miss important real life details otherwise)
INTJ: I wouldn't consider my nightmare job to be a receptionist since I would still be scheduling things in precise order and organizing people to do things right. It would be irritating with all the people I have to greet, though. The real problem job would be something like a greeter where I have to make perpetual small talk with nothing of import in between conversations. Dozens of conversations remarking on how it's raining or sunny? Shoot me now.
The INTJ impression you do is dead on my sister. She's going for her Masters in psychology and works at a mental health institute for youth. Those poor kids lol
@SUPER8024 Honestly human sciences are awesome. As a kid I liked analyzing stories and why every character behaves the way they do. I started noticing certain patterns around me. Abuse, dysfunctional families, rage, socioeconomic stress, violence, etc… are normalized and rarely addressed where I’m from (the middle east.) You could say my main goal is to understand and solve problems. What made you choose engineering?
Me an ENFP probably who has always thought of office desk work as her worst nightmare. What i hated even more btw was when i was working as a shop assistant in a shop with few customers and i wasn't allowed to 'idle', no phones, no books. Not even pen and paper. And you had to pretend you were busy and do senseless work like dusting the shelves for the 10th time that day. It was physically painful and drove me nearly crazy. The lack of sensory stimulation was mind numbing and I started to seriously suspect I have adhd. Anyway, i quit after 3 months. My favourite thing i have done was travelling from farm to farm and doing whatever odd jobs they had. And I also love project focused work like theatre productions (any aspect of them). I need this relevance and the deadlines. I actually really feel alive and energised when i work in a project like that.
So INFJ here. People tell me I should be a politician cause of how I always speak the truth and don’t make promises I can’t keep. I tell them that’s exactly why I wouldn’t be a good politician.
ENFP - I got fired from a job because I was too kind, and daydreaming, apparently. It was a cutthroat contracting job where you had to bark at people and demand paperwork, and then when you weren't doing that you had to be busy busy busy. Doing what? Being diabolical? I had so many customers tell me how nice I was and how they wish more of my department was like me. My boss was super harsh one time and told me to be a butthead to this customer, but I was able to resolve the issue logically with kindness. That really pissed her off. I was fired for "performance issues." She also didn't like it when I wore bright colors to work hahahahhahaha. She's not wrong though, that job was not for me. Very cruel and soul sucking for no reason.
Fellow ENFP - I was marked down on a performance evaluation once because I smiled too much. According to my supervisor, no one could do that job and be so happy. (I managed a university tutoring lab.)
I worked at my parents' hardware store for years as a teenager and in my early 20s, as an INTP - it was hell itself. If I can't focus on something of value, like a book or coding a program, and have to be interrupted over and over again by people and have to smile and people and, and, and ... yeah, just kill me. 😂
Very accurate. Being a waitress or bartender somewhere packed with people is already a night mare. But doing it in a place where you can’t leave is another level.
I've thought about it. There is only one of these jobs that wouldn't be some kind of hell for me. And that's songwriter. And even that's just in theory... because i have zero musical training.
This is making me question myself because I’m ESTJ yet all three sources of income I’m considering are creativity-based (author, artist, and TH-camr). Not only that, but I pantsed my entire novel without even knowing how it would end until I actually wrote the ending. All of this is very strange considering how much I value plans and routines _outside_ of creative endeavors. That being said, I do feel impatient with myself because I often want to be productive but don’t know what to create.
ENTJ Therapist is actually a great thing. Though I know from experience how deeply I hate when I get bullshitted by people who are looking for help. Like if you actually don't really want to improve why are you bothering me with it? Get results or get ignored.
I’m an ISFJ and did part-time work at a law firm while in my late teens. Literally had a breakdown halfway through the three weeks and was unable to continue.
I know an ENFJ who used to be a cop. Apparently every other cop used to make fun of him. He is now a pastor 😂. Also, I (INTJ) am currently considering a college reception job, as I can do homework while on the job, and will create a coffee refilling process so efficient as to give me time to do whatever. I also enjoy the opportunity to just sit and think. I do think INTJs are flexible enough to fill any job based purely on knowledge, it’s just that completing the job is all we will do. I’ve worked in every volunteer position in my entire church (musician, Sunday school teacher, tech guy, computer assistant, preschool helper, janitor, etc.), and yet I have only truly struggled with 2, those being nursery worker and greeter. Tell me to sweet talk a baby or make small talk with dozens of strangers and I will find a way to do it, it will just be a very unpleasant experience for everyone.
dude omgggg i do that!! 1:39 when someone ask what I just said when they heard me with a tone that has a meaning of 'are you really saying that to me' and I repeat it slowly and louder whilst looking at them
Also my videos aren't gospel! I'm sure your mum is a great teacher! I just speculated that ENTPs would struggle with the red tape/staying within the bounds of the curriculum - I think we would all have fun and learn a lot if we had ENTP teachers!
My little sister (ISFJ) just told me how she started crying when she had to fire somebody and how the person she was firing patted her on the shoulder and told her it was okay.

@@ponchoking55 Ha…whereas me as an INFP…my boss in retail (INFP hell) told me I was the first person EVER to successfully hide a job hunt from her even though I was doing it for months. Usually disaffected employees or people looking to move on showed SOME kind of sign of mentally checking out or disengaging but she had ZERO clue until I handed her my two weeks’ notice. I didn’t like her so I was rather proud of myself for making her have to replace an assistant manager with no forewarning except the absolute minimum requirement in the US.
Oh Kristin, you just nailed this. My son the ENFJ was in security as a summer job while he was in university. The drunks and homeless loved him because he was so kind. He ended up being a primary school teacher and the children love him.

The best teacher I had growing up was, I very strongly suspect, an ENFJ. Amazingly competent and kind. She was one of the finalists for the (ill-fated) Challenger space shuttle, but wasn't selected. That was a surreal Tuesday morning when we watched a recording of the launch in class.
@@jimclayson That was a horrific tragedy.
ENTPs make great science or math teachers IMHO. My physics teacher at high school was an ENTP, who highly disliked the education system. He had a genuine passion for the subject. He used to refer to memorisation of information as an 'illegal' method to pass examinations.
Of all the physics teachers I'd had, he was hands-down the best.

I feel like I had a ENTP latin teacher once. The thing is, we hardly had homework and when we did it was things like, CREATE A VIDEO by acting out the story of one of the classic roman stories that she only told in her own words... so the only stories I remember were like "Yeah so this princess and poor dude fell in love and they ran away together but end up dying" basically. and this was before tik tok or anything so we werent comfortable infront of a camera. Also, im introverted.
I could see an ENTP teacher figure out quickly how to fly under the radar
As an ENTP, I'd say anything that involves a lot of bureaucracy or customer service would probably be my nightmare job. Teaching would be rough if I didn't have any freedom to teach in the way I thought would be best.

As an INTP, I would absolutely hire the INTJ to be my receptionist based on that performance. Only people who desperately need to talk to me would get past her.
Secretary work is fine, in the sense that it's intermittently annoying to us like every other job (because people). We have no problem being gatekeepers. Just don't put us at reception, because it's way crazier than what's depicted.
As a fellow INTP-- Yes, I´d want an INTJ as my receptionist, secretary or personal planner.
As a fellow intp I approve this message
100%
INTJ here- and I don't think its actually the work that is the problem. INTJs tend to be organized and able to communicate directions very well. its just that INTJs tend to lose patience quickly, and be overly blunt- especially if annoyed or pushed. So the person bothering the receptionist, or asking really stupid questions, is going to get an earful.
I actually had an INTJ co-worker who once had to fill in as a receptionist, "Never again," she said.
she must have really liked you to accept that in the first place.
My INTJ sister didn't like working at restaurants because she didn't like being fake nice to people. Of course, for people with more extroverted feeling (Fe), it's not fake it just comes more naturally. I'm ESTJ and I like working in hospitality but I had to learn over years how to be more polite, and I'm still not a warm person.

INTP Flight Attendant...? Ah yes, the joys of customer service. 😁
My favorite person ever for dealing with the public was an ISTP named Cecil, who was nearing retirement at the time (20+ years ago now). He worked at a small engine repair shop attached to the feed store at which I was employed... and he simply didn't care one ounce when a customer was unhappy with him or his work. Cecil knew he'd done his job and done it well and he was unfazed by other people's agitation over what he (correctly, in my view) perceived as nonsense. I walked by one day when his supervisor was trying desperately and uncomfortably to calm an irate customer, while Cecil simply stood by with a huge grin, chuckling every time the customer cursed or raised his voice... which was frequent... which would just set the customer off again on another rage-fueled tirade. It was inspiring, and I learned a lot from observing Cecil... including a huge appreciation for ISTPs. -- INTP
Yeah I learned a lot from the ISTPs too. And ignoring offensive people is the most important part. And to grin when they narcissism let them outrage. I really hate to shame other people.
INTP
Another epic video.❤❤❤❤
Unpopular opinion but it sounds like Cecil's lack of communication with them was part of the problem. Not that he did anything wrong, and the customer was in the wrong, but if he had used his words and explained the situation I'm guessing they would be less irate. They were probably upset at the fact that he doesn't seem to care, and don't know enough about cars to know whether he did his job right.
I worked door to door sales with an ESTP guy once.
He was pretty good at it - better than INTP me - except he couldn't work on Saturdays because he had weekend detention for a drink driving conviction(s).

Yeah and my morals would't work with it. I see the good and bad in all people, my dillema would be way to high. I mean sometimes they have to kill children if the oponent etc. I'm already in a dillema when I watch dokumentaries about animals, for example a polar bear and a seal ☠️, the baby polar bear needs the seal to survive but the seal is also way too cute to be eaten 🥲. Nature is just so cruel
@@Cuteemogirl94 the morals are the weirdest part, other people don't even have them!
Of all the possible jobs I thought you might choose for the ISTJ, you definitely found the worst. 🙂 In my mind all the motivational speaking anyone should need is "If it needs to be done, get over your feelings and do it." Speaking in front of a crowd is bad enough, but having to appeal to their *feelings* too? A literal nightmare.
I’ve given many presentations and talks in front of groups, but having to force emotion is something else entirely. I recognize how little emotion my face shows when I’m giving a talk, but there’s nothing I can do to change it 😅
@@HPcedarpoint13Have you seen the Droopy cartoons? My ESFJ sister and ISFJ brother used to call me Droopy, mostly because of his repeated monotone line, "I'm so happy." Apparently that's what I looked like to them when I tried to convince them I was actually happy, despite having no expression on my face. They just thought it was funny.
As an ESTJ I would give this motivational speech to you: "If the motivational speech needs to be done, get over your feelings and do it"
I laughed so hard when I saw the job for us.
But seriously that nightmare ENFP scenario is my dream job. Just leave me alone in a corner, guys.
Try watching Dennis Prager. Whether or not you agree with his politics, he is an ISTJ who can get that sort of advice through to people very effectively. I find him very calming and levelheaded, and love the fact that he doesn’t have to raise his voice to defend his convictions, just quietly tells it like it is. As an INFP raised by Te-doms I can be very distrustful of people who can’t do that without getting completely wound up because I know how I am in that state and rational isn’t it.
Lol, why does the INTJ look like they are too good at their job. Like someone who could be that blunt naturally and still keep that job must be like god-send. Lmao!
They are exceptionally organized and have developed a well-optimized system that keeps everything on schedule. They don't like the job, but it's a cakewalk for them to do for a paycheck.
We're organized but the clip didn't depict the madness that is reception work. A typical 20-minute period in a receptionist job involves:
- you have one person in front of you for something
- three people are behind that person, waiting for them to be done
- you need to look at the fax
- you need to print 20 versions of a Powerpoint presentation for a meeting, because people
- one of your managers just emailed you about something
- another manager just emailed you to book a flight and hotel for them
- another manager just emailed you to schedule a meeting with someone, so you have to confirm the time with the other person and book the meeting room
- the mail just came in and you have to triage
- the phone is ringing and there are 6 lines waiting
- one of the people waiting in line gets upset they have to wait and starts yelling at you even if there's already someone in front of you. Now you have to de-escalate the situation even though you think the yeller is a complete idiot.
- you've managed to answer one of the calls and now you have to transfer them somewhere
- one of the calls you've already transferred calls you again because the person you transferred them to wasn't answering
- someone calls to ask where another person is
You can never finish a single task without getting interrupted, which violates our Te, and you're so overwhelmed by Se that you can't do anything else, forget Ni planning. I freaking hate reception work. Never put an INTJ at reception unless they ask for it.
ISFP here. I'm driven by a strong sense of right and wrong, so I think I might actually be harsher than average on criminals who have committed serious, reprehensible acts. Conversely, I would probably be lenient on morally ambiguous crimes like speeding and drug possession (without intent to sell).
And I would absolutely throw the book at anyone convicted of a crime where they preyed on the weak. You know, like when you hear about somebody scamming an elderly person out of their life savings. That stuff really bothers me. Maximum allowed sentence for those criminals. No possibility of parole.
As an ENFP, I experience ISFPs as very gentle and extremely tolerant in everyday life...until their values are deeply violated, then they become a shark!
As an ISFP, I absolutely agree!
I thought about it as an INFJ and yeah, that would really be the worst job ever. Making false promises on a daily basis and fooling so many people is just too much culpability to handle, couldn't stop thinking about all these people who count on you and trust you that you're going to deceive. Horrible. Good thing is becoming a politician isn't exactly a common job so that's quite reassuring. We would probably make terrible politicians actually because we would genuinely care too much for people. How ironic.
I'm an entp teacher and that's exactly how I act around kids. I have a hard time remembering their names, I hate the new curriculum, I often postponed grading and making monthly report, and the worst part is I can't help but get cringed everytime they told me their middle school type of problem because it reminded me of my past.
They still like me, of course, I don't know why though. But I decided to resign from the job the upcoming semester because of guilt, I don't think I'm suitable to be a teacher lol
You very well might have changed those kids' lives for the better. What are you doing now though?
You sound down to earth. It doesn’t mean you’re unsuitable just because you don’t fit into a box of how teachers generally are. If your students feel comfortable in your classes and enjoy being taught by you and you have compassion for what they are going through, that’s a win!
Some of the worst teachers are the ones who fail to do that, like they’ve never known what it’s like to be a student or be struggling or hate the workload.
I'm ISTP and tried out teaching at a small tech school one year. I had some of the same problems and decided that although it went well in many ways, I wasn't cut out for it.
'least you tried. You must have been doing something right if the kids liked you. As we say, it's the system that is the farce.

I recomend you to watch the anime assassination classroom (if you haven't already) Koro-sensei is ENTP and one of the best fictional characters ever.

Especially how he talks to Babys is super attractive 😍, his voice get's a pretty high tone, it's just adorable. The way he makes everyone laugh is also on another Level, I love that he has like almost zero emberassment, he just acts like a funny clown on a daily basis, even outside, he doesn't care what people think and speaks his mind.

The kids are who matter, not bureaucratic red tape 😉👍 ENTPs are great at reconciling multiple viewpoints, so that you are a teacher of bilingual students sounds like the prefect place for you to impact the minds of the future.
ENTP language teacher here 😘
I am an INTP and my side gig is actually tutoring in foreign languages. I’m a really weird fit for teaching supposedly - I’m not a people person I’m not really good at taking a personal emotional interest in my students, and I kind of sort of don’t give a dime about what the supposed curriculum or learning order for things is, and I’ll teach all kinds of weird and naughty things that you aren’t supposed to get from the textbook. My students apparently find this interesting and engaging and as a result, learn way more and start becoming actually conversant and literate much earlier.
I know a few ENTP teachers and they are quite common. One of them is really great (even if at first I was afraid of him) he is super interesting, super invested (despite a few excesses where he starts to go really far into the resonances), he's a super passionate person. At first I thought he was more INTP but in the end Ne takes precedence over Ti.

As an ESTJ I kind of really plan creativity (I do a lot of needlework,sewing,felting etc). I collect a lot of ideas via pinterest etc. and than when I decide for a project I obsess over the planning for like 2-3days. Weighing the pros and cons of materials, patterns, techniques, getting ALL the supplies that I could possibly need. By the time all the stuff arrives I have a detailed plan of everything I need to do in my head. I read instructions like 5 times before I even get the yarn.
When something goes wrong hell breaks loose.

That took some getting used to, and I had to learn how to attenuate my level of urges to make sure I would have enough to perform on those particular nights.
ENTPs are the best teachers though. Perfect combination of in-depth understanding of the knowledge, entertaining presentations that actually can keep your atention and disregard for (or if that's not possible, sarcasm about) nonsense like rote repetition, memorisation without context given and overt testing. Also just being cool in general.
ENTP teachers are needed as the anti Si`s, every model is a simplification and recognizing that is true leaning (INTJ)
@@godKiller.369 Exactly
I'm an ISTP and I do competitive tap dance. The facial expressions were (and still are) by far the hardest part 🤣
ENFP working at a desk job with plain walls and no windows, and no colleagues doing office administration (data entry mostly). I bawled the first week working there and i looked more than a little too glad when my boss comes in for half an hour a day (if ever). Sometimes it felt like purgatory. (Im leaving this job for a new one at an office with ambience and some colleagues)
My relief is working a part time job as a banquet server. The mgmt is a nightmare but im gleeful at the prospect that i get to meet and interact with strangers each time. (Just left this because of the mgmt)
As an ENFP, I always thought my nightmare job was being a ticket inspector making people unhappy...
But Kristin is right, sitting alone in an office and processing data is even worse... there I would have absolutely no contact with others and couldn't even comfort them...
A video about healthy/developed versions of the 16 personalities please :D
-INTP
Agreed, "flight attendant" would be a little much but Ne (new places) and Fe (providing) would compensate somewhat. My "what is the worst job?" thought before watching was something like cold-call sales, where you have to impose upon strangers and success is potentially correlated with dishonesty.
- also INTP
@@brobison75 Probably worse would be having to do the same face-to-face... approach people on the street to sell them something you expect they don't want.
@exnihilonihilfit6316 Yes! I was thinking more "cold" than "call". In-person would be the worst.
INTP: LOL flight attendant would be truly terrible, especially nowadays when passengers are likely to be unreasonable, drunk, or unhinged. 😱 I’m also very short and as physically intimidating as a cupcake, so I wouldn’t get anyone to listen to me, unhinged or otherwise.
The job I enjoyed best was when I was a library assistant working the Research & Information desk. I think the head librarian had me figured out pretty quickly (she offered me the job after I had been volunteering for a year as a page and a homework lab tutor) and knew just where to put me. I had to deal with the twinge of panic every time someone approached, but more often than not the patrons were even more nervous to talk to ME, and their questions were always interesting. My job included a variety of responsibilities (creating slide shows for the digital displays, taking minutes at staff meetings, teaching an Intro to Computers class in English and Spanish, updating the library blog, etc.) that kept me engaged and more than made up for the customer service bit. I’d still be there if I hadn’t had to move out of state. 😁
An ENFJ cop is basically the plot of Zootopia lol
I’m an INFP raised by Te-doms including an ENTJ Air Force colonel. I think possibly the worst job would be to be expected to actually do something physically coordinated. That’s actually the part about the military that wouldn’t work for me rather than the structure because I actually believe in the mission and values. -INFP
@psychoticschmitz7867 The leadership part is NOT my cup of tea. I work as an internal auditor at a large company and now, after my first job (retail) I have sworn never again to go into management. And I don’t think you get to avoid that when enlisted, right?
Would be nice to have the physical strength at least so that way I would only be uncoordinated and not also a total wimp!
Thank you for sharing in the service of your ENTJ Air Force colonel who must be so honored having such a dedicated child!
@psychoticschmitz7867 Thank you for your service! Mechanic. Nice!
@@nerysghemor5781 And thank you for your service as an internal auditor!
@@JohnHenrysaysHi It’s NOTHING compared to the military! But it seems to be working out for me. 👍
I like the fellow ENFJ in the thumbnail-Sincerely, A Very Sincere ENFJ
I loved the ENTP as a teacher saying "everyone's name is Jonny" and written on the board in the background is "Buying me lunch today: Jonny" 😆 Nice detail!
Video idea: the ideal day for each of the 16 personalities. Maybe as a series or something?🤷♀
I anticipate many inaccurate stereotypes, unless she chooses to subvert expectations.
For example, ISTJs actually hate working, and we prefer to indulge our Fi when we get the chance. We're not Te doms.
I feel that ENFP on a deep level 😢
That ENTP teacher looks really great. That would be great to have one when I was a student. Thanks Kristin, great job. 😊😊✨✨
you're right, a boring data entry job sounds like an absolute hell for ENFP! I NEED variety in my work, I NEED my messy desk with figurines, pretty calendars, notes, etc and I ABSLUTELY NEED a daily dose of gossiping with my work besties ❤
ISTJ literally disintegrated at her nightmare job: half her body became invisible behind the podium xD
(Yes I am aware this is due to your current circumstances limiting your filming options. Still an entertaining watch!)
This was so great!!! XD (Also props on having all those factors listed in the ENFP's environment...it does make all the difference!! XP)
Yeah, I love how the ENFP's worst job was the most specific. -an ENFP
I'm INTJ and I was commended for my excellent performance as receptionist. Honestly. I was quick and efficient at getting clients to their respective loan agent, as well as directing calls to their targets. And I never wasted company time with idle chat, and I have learned to keep "those kinds of thoughts" in my head where they belong, lol.
The idea of having to do that much social interaction every single day is genuinely frightening. Another great video as usual!
ENFP here, I have worse. A monotone job at a factory line, at some point even daydreaming become boring. Absolutely not recommended.
I’m pretty sure what my brother is an ENTP and he’s a primary school teacher hahahaha
As ENFJ tbh I’d hate not being able to ask what made them sleep in the cold night 😭😭😭 I just love experiencing things through people, I love how complex human beings are, it’s so interesting and it’s even more rewarding if I can somehow play a role in solving their issues and helping them see the world as I see it. Full of hope
I’m an ENTJ who needs to do counselling as a significant part of my work. The listen to people complain bit can be tiresome, but the carefully explaining to people how they are ruining their own lives and how to stop bit is quite satisfying. I am a highly sought out counsellor btw.
(ISFP) Oh my god 😭 I've thought so many times about how I'd forgive most "criminals" if they seem like a decent person or had a really hard backstory. There are obvious exceptions for truly terrible people but I care way more about morality than the law, the idea of a "legal" wrong means so little to me compared to whether or not something was actually bad/harmful. I've had so many conversations about this!
I feel the same way as an ENFP
I am an ENFP who had a similar job to that with a toxic boss to boot. When I one day fantasised about being hit by a car (mildly), so I wouldn’t have to go to work that day, I knew I needed to quit 😅
That's actually a big trap for INTJs: they are often attracted to higher positions but that requires social skills and enduring emotional people spouting nonsense incessantly...
I think INFJ can make a pretty motivational politician
Oh we probably could - we just wouldn't be able to lie about our campaign in the process.
I have somehow ended up in multiple sales jobs over the years, and I have refused to ever lie about our products, or make promises to a customer about them.
I once had a customer yell and call me a b*itch because I wouldn't just on the spot tell her what the most comfortable shoes in the store were - just because a pair is really comfortable to me and many other people, doesn't mean they will be for you, and I won't tell you otherwise!
@@amandabaker4678I understand that. I had to do a telemarketing job where I read from a script and sold people a vacation. I was told I sounded too robotic. Like 'Yeah well I'm just trying to get through this lie every call and hoping I don't sell anything (I didn't sell a single one 🎉)". Anyway, I lasted like 3 weeks. 😅
I had to do manual labor where I lifted something so heavy that my tongue went numb from not realizing I was biting it the whole time, and I would do that again over telemarketing.
yeah i know one like this
The best politician of the 20th century was one
I suspect several commenters here are aware of the elephant in the room but aren't expressly saying it. The thin-mustached elephant, that is.
INTJ who actually had to work as a receptionist here! Spot on Kristin! Though I will say only the bad ones got “the ol’repeat the comment louder” treatment I swear!
I'm ENTP and I'm very good teacher in particular lessons. I'm good with explanations. But I would hate to be teacher of a group and having to correct the homework of the people. 😂😂😂
I think ENTPs make great teachers! I should have specified that this vid is through the lens of moreso which job each type would personally struggle with - ENTP being the red tape/beurocracy/general eduction system in teaching. I think any type can do any job well if they put their mind to it! 😁
@@dearkristin bureaucracy is the worst part of the standard education system XD many times I received offers to give classes to a group of people, but I have always rejected them and have continued giving private classes in my free time. My almost full-time job is in passenger service at an airport, something much better since there is no bureaucracy or extra work to do at home. It's just to solve the problems of the people as quick as possible. XD
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH INFP AND ISTJ IM CRYING AHAHAHA
Also as an enfp…I do work with co-workers now but I have to constantly force myself not to talk for 3 hours straight instead of doing my job it’s pretty hard 😢😢 Anyways another splendid video as always wish I could like it 1000 times ❤❤
Low key though I feel like ESTP’s are really good telemarketers when they wanna be. They got that Se-Fe charm to reel people in with the Ti to back it up with logic
Idk maybe their worst job would be a therapist
Yeah no.
We're bluntly honest and we instinctively want to haze people for their own good.
I don't think I'm a good liar, and I am hard to snow, so I don't feel like even trying.
She pretty much nailed this one.
And my very strong P preference runs counter to the ESTJ's "close the sale!" approach.
As a INTJ I usually just keep my thoughts about other on the inside and wish I could be social enough to do that😂😂😂
Same, but unfortunately my *face* doesn’t keep my opinions private…
😂😂😂yeah, me too people can tell when I don’t approve.
As an INTJ I found learning to engage in small talk and smile at people very rewarding both on a professional and personal level.. it was a long road there though 😂
(I am slightly drawn to people as my brain somehow knows I need to bounce my ideas of other people now and then, and observe how those humanoids live their lives in their natural habitat, it is very easy to get tunnel vision and miss important real life details otherwise)
I had an ENTP science teachers at my math focused high school. Yes. This was their behaviour every class. Yes. This was hard. Yes. I'm an ISTJ
I was thinking that teacher looked terrible, but other people in the comment section seem to think she looked fun.
- a fellow ISTJ
INTJ: I wouldn't consider my nightmare job to be a receptionist since I would still be scheduling things in precise order and organizing people to do things right. It would be irritating with all the people I have to greet, though. The real problem job would be something like a greeter where I have to make perpetual small talk with nothing of import in between conversations. Dozens of conversations remarking on how it's raining or sunny? Shoot me now.
ISTP here... I can control my face 😌
But I choose not to
The INTJ impression you do is dead on my sister. She's going for her Masters in psychology and works at a mental health institute for youth. Those poor kids lol
Very original and hilarious. Bravo!
as an ENTJ psychology student I am *floored.*
Wow what made you choose psychology?
- Engineering student ENFP
@SUPER8024 Honestly human sciences are awesome. As a kid I liked analyzing stories and why every character behaves the way they do. I started noticing certain patterns around me. Abuse, dysfunctional families, rage, socioeconomic stress, violence, etc… are normalized and rarely addressed where I’m from (the middle east.) You could say my main goal is to understand and solve problems.
What made you choose engineering?
Me an ENFP probably who has always thought of office desk work as her worst nightmare. What i hated even more btw was when i was working as a shop assistant in a shop with few customers and i wasn't allowed to 'idle', no phones, no books. Not even pen and paper. And you had to pretend you were busy and do senseless work like dusting the shelves for the 10th time that day. It was physically painful and drove me nearly crazy. The lack of sensory stimulation was mind numbing and I started to seriously suspect I have adhd. Anyway, i quit after 3 months. My favourite thing i have done was travelling from farm to farm and doing whatever odd jobs they had. And I also love project focused work like theatre productions (any aspect of them). I need this relevance and the deadlines. I actually really feel alive and energised when i work in a project like that.
Ugh, data entry *shudder* - ENFP Kryptonite
So INFJ here. People tell me I should be a politician cause of how I always speak the truth and don’t make promises I can’t keep. I tell them that’s exactly why I wouldn’t be a good politician.
ENFP - I got fired from a job because I was too kind, and daydreaming, apparently. It was a cutthroat contracting job where you had to bark at people and demand paperwork, and then when you weren't doing that you had to be busy busy busy. Doing what? Being diabolical? I had so many customers tell me how nice I was and how they wish more of my department was like me. My boss was super harsh one time and told me to be a butthead to this customer, but I was able to resolve the issue logically with kindness. That really pissed her off. I was fired for "performance issues." She also didn't like it when I wore bright colors to work hahahahhahaha. She's not wrong though, that job was not for me. Very cruel and soul sucking for no reason.
Fellow ENFP - I was marked down on a performance evaluation once because I smiled too much. According to my supervisor, no one could do that job and be so happy. (I managed a university tutoring lab.)
INTP me spending my entire career working in customer service in some capacity or another =😭
I worked at my parents' hardware store for years as a teenager and in my early 20s, as an INTP - it was hell itself.
If I can't focus on something of value, like a book or coding a program, and have to be interrupted over and over again by people and have to smile and people and, and, and ... yeah, just kill me. 😂
1:18 infjs can actually be great politicians ...
You guys know what Im getting at 😢
Very accurate. Being a waitress or bartender somewhere packed with people is already a night mare. But doing it in a place where you can’t leave is another level.
I *may* be an INTP, and I HATED waiting tables!
the CGI leafs for the ESFJ was what made me lose it
I've thought about it.
There is only one of these jobs that wouldn't be some kind of hell for me.
And that's songwriter.
And even that's just in theory... because i have zero musical training.
hahaha awesome hahahaah
This is making me question myself because I’m ESTJ yet all three sources of income I’m considering are creativity-based (author, artist, and TH-camr). Not only that, but I pantsed my entire novel without even knowing how it would end until I actually wrote the ending. All of this is very strange considering how much I value plans and routines _outside_ of creative endeavors. That being said, I do feel impatient with myself because I often want to be productive but don’t know what to create.
ENFP here & I had a physical reaction to mine. XD Spot on.
ENTJ Therapist is actually a great thing. Though I know from experience how deeply I hate when I get bullshitted by people who are looking for help. Like if you actually don't really want to improve why are you bothering me with it? Get results or get ignored.
I’m an ISFJ and did part-time work at a law firm while in my late teens. Literally had a breakdown halfway through the three weeks and was unable to continue.
I know an ENFJ who used to be a cop. Apparently every other cop used to make fun of him. He is now a pastor 😂.
Also, I (INTJ) am currently considering a college reception job, as I can do homework while on the job, and will create a coffee refilling process so efficient as to give me time to do whatever. I also enjoy the opportunity to just sit and think. I do think INTJs are flexible enough to fill any job based purely on knowledge, it’s just that completing the job is all we will do.
I’ve worked in every volunteer position in my entire church (musician, Sunday school teacher, tech guy, computer assistant, preschool helper, janitor, etc.), and yet I have only truly struggled with 2, those being nursery worker and greeter. Tell me to sweet talk a baby or make small talk with dozens of strangers and I will find a way to do it, it will just be a very unpleasant experience for everyone.
I just wanted to say your acting skills keep getting better! I imagine it’s much harder than it looks!
dude omgggg i do that!! 1:39 when someone ask what I just said when they heard me with a tone that has a meaning of 'are you really saying that to me' and I repeat it slowly and louder whilst looking at them
My mom is an ENTP and a middleschool teacher and she loves it! Exception I guess
Also my videos aren't gospel! I'm sure your mum is a great teacher! I just speculated that ENTPs would struggle with the red tape/staying within the bounds of the curriculum - I think we would all have fun and learn a lot if we had ENTP teachers!
these sketches are gold lmao, one of my favorite vids of yours, keep it up
I think it should've been car mechanic for the INFP and a researcher on Antarctica for the ESFJ
Nah believe me... nothing is worse than military for INFP 😅
As an ENFJ i can relate to this.
i was said to audit a company. and my Audit partner told me not to be friendly/familiarize with the client.
I really resonated with INTP's freak out, and not wanting to be anywhere near people. Meanwhile, ESFJ has the opposite problem. 😹
There goes my childhood dream of becoming a teacher (and not teach anything by the curricula) 😔 -ENTP
ESFPs in accounting would be like WHOOPS missed a comma
My little sister (ISFJ) just told me how she started crying when she had to fire somebody and how the person she was firing patted her on the shoulder and told her it was okay.
