I took a career assessment test in school once. It recommended a career in science.
I was very unimpressed, because one of the questions was "would you like a career in science?", to which I had answered "yes".
Made me lol. Pretty sure the test nailed it.
@@taylorjade6918 I would appreciate if some personality tests took into account the number of annoyed comments and corrections the test-taker scribbles in the margins. It's bound to be pretty informative...
I think people misjudge the gift-giving love language. When I buy a gift for someone I am very intentional. I think about what my friend or family member likes, or what is happening in their life currently. I go out of my way to find the perfect gift. I want to be appreciated in the same way- the monetary value of the gift is unimportant, it’s about the thought you put into the gift. 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah everithing you said is true, but i dont like gift at all dont know, they means almoust nothing to me
I'm 0% gift-giving. I don't care as much if you got me the latest iPhone (btw, I really do want it) than if you helped with the laundry. Acts of Service triumphs any gift, no matter how badly I want the item. I can get the item myself any time BUT, begrudgingly, I have to do the laundry for the rest of my life... I hate it.
Yes! I could go months planning what to give somebody. Also to give things you make yourself! I LOVE baking cookies and putting them in boxes or nice bags, decorating them, making a tiny card to put on the ribbon I'll add to the thing. I enjoy the proccess of thinking of it, planning, gathering ingredients and materials and just giving; I think it's nice.
Yes! I was just coming to the comments to write this! I find in videos like this that people who are not 'gift givers' often end up with some discussion about "not being materialistic". It would not really mean anything to me if someone bought me a really expensive necklace. But when my friend gave me an elephant she crocheted for me because it's my favourite animal, it made me feel so loved!
Average Aufa I’m not saying everyone should show love via gift-giving, I’m saying people whose love language is gifts often get mistyped as self-centered or materialistic when that couldn’t be further from the truth. I don’t care what gift I’m given, I just need to know that you put thought and effort into it. That’s how I know I’m loved.
I took the "Are you a Craig or Chyna?" personality test; totally a Craig.
Chyna
I am, "What Chyna thinks Craig is", i.e. INTP.
am actually an INFJ..
I'm kinda both? mostly Chyna I guess
Haha! I’m like Chyna!
"I think anytime one of us rage is..
against the machine "
lol
the conversation about how well does one know oneself and the subjectivity was really interesting!! i wonder how results would differ if our partners took the quiz thinking of US instead of us taking our own quiz....
(we don't go there )
I was also wondering about this!
This is actually something that it's said in the test's disclaimer! You answering the test, the result is the personality of your image of yourself. Someone else answering the test about you, the result is the personality of the image they created of you. What is your true personality? Yours? All? Something in between? Something else? Does it really matter? Does it even exist (or makes sense) to say that there is a true personality?
I have an opinion on this but I'll let you think first. It's quite a interesting thing to think about!
The whole thing is heavily prone to self-bias. Everyone is a little bit of everything, so rigid categorizations do not make any sense.
If it tells you you're "Driven" or "Ambitious", you start thinking about the last new project you did, or that time you tried to make sourdough bread from scratch.
But if it tells you you're "Laid-back" or "Relaxed", you start thinking about all the time you spend watching TV or playing games.
Though at opposite ends of the spectrum, many descriptions apply to practically everyone at some point in their recent memory.
That's actually how it goes if you had to have these test taken for diagnostics etc. One's subjective assessment isn't enough. That's why I get quite grumpy about people using those results in Tinder bios and such, they are not much more valid than horoscopes in that sense
"I remember travel. It was good times." 12:59 at the end. Mood.
The love languages test can be immensely insightful for relationships at any point. Congratulations on your 1M button.
A friend, as an excellent manager to his staff, uses the love languages to engage most effectively with his people.
@AlbinoReaper
Partly. I do think, however, that we also can learn to understand when others are trying to show you love, even when it doesn’t measure up to our own love language. When a child draws a drawing for their parent, the parent feels loved - whether or not gifts are the parent’s love language - because the parent understands that it was out of love. A problem is that we get older and there are many more possible thought we can have against people we know, so we often don’t understand when people are trying to show love, and they get hurt when we accuse them of something else. So, recognizing and taking note of other people’s ways of showing love, rather than just expecting them to love us the way we feel the most loved is something we could work on. However, I do agree that there is sacrificial love (an essential type of love) in trying to meet the other person’s need when it comes to feeling loved.
@@whengrapespop5728 Yes, I think that is right. In 'non-love' environments, like the workplace though, by learning a little about the other people and observing certain markers, I believe it is then quite straight forward to engage them in the way that makes them most receptive and to which they will most likely respond most positively. In a sense it's like feeding them rather than starving them.
This is the ONLY YT channel I actually enjoy the ads in.
internet comment etiquette also does fantastic ads!!!
I love Daniel Thrasher and Ryan George sponsor spots too
Jay Foreman has incredible ads
That is exactly why I like learning languages: TO CONTROL MY DESTINY
He sounded like Zuko for a second there...
Have you ever heard of Human Design? I've been practicing and studying Yoga for about 3 years now, and was blown away about how this new perspective - which only just became a thing within the last 100 years - is in perfect accordance to the ancient wisdom of Yoga and Avaita Vedanta, while providing something that was often omitted: the mechanics of Maya.
Human Design accurately maps out the interactions between the various Chakras - and connects this using the I-Ching and Celestial Alignment at the time of birth. This map connects directly to the DNA. So, in essence, the ancient Chinese I-Ching is a metaphor for genetic code and planetary alignment at the time of birth determines the nature of the imprint that person receives. So there's no questions to ask and answer that might prove false.
I recommend MyBodyGraph.com as the easiest way to get started for free, though my friend actually graduated from the Human Design College (yeah this stuff is under a hundred years old and already has a college dedicated to it) so she does readings and I'm just now begging that process myself, as well as many other people online. One girl, Interior Creature, has really great free resources online.
I was gonna share this directly to Wheezy but after seeing your comment it seemed fitting :) He'll see what he's meant to.
Dude I called Craig being type 7 ENFP. You can see it from a mile away.
I've been thinking a lot about who Chyna looks like and today it clicked..
She's Suki from atla
Holy crap, you're right
This is the real learning to take away from this video. Thanks.
Yessss!!
The problem is self-assessment. People have a hard time figuring themselves enough to answer objectively. I think we need these tests to start having other types of question which deal more with objective information than opinion. Although I think your assessments might be correct. I'm an ENTP and my bf is an ENTJ, not the same goat but very similar horns.
BTW I also found it funny that another extroverted intuitive like me also thought about the objectivity of self-reflection instantly LMAO definitely a Ne user.
Actchchcually, ENTPs and ENTJs share zero main functions. That's the main ridiculous part of dichtonomy based tests - mistyping just one letter completely flips entire cognitive type.
@@NJ-wb1cz Well I think dichotomies are fine when there is a spectrum between. I think MBTI kinda has that, maybe not incredibly accurate, but then again we barely know how consciousness even works yet. I don't know about other people but MBTI has helped me understand my context a lot. That's what I meant with my comment. My bf and I are very different even though we are both extroverts.
@@rubenzavala2084 I/E is fine, T/F and N/S are moderately fine, but P/J is a travesty. Something like 60% P is a useless result, it doesn't mean anything. Wtf is 40% towards your complete opposite?
But in any case, if it helps it helps :)
What is Ne? I've seen it in many comments...
@@clarabrunetivila5071 exteoverted intuition.
What I've learnt from this video: I'm basically Chyna.
Me, too!
Me too!
You guys are so fun to watch! :)
You should try this again with some more "psychologically sound" tests... Specifically The Big Five and/or HEXACO... See how those results compare to the ones from this video!
that would be great
Ooooh HEXACO is new to me. That was a fun test. Thank you!
A B yes or get someone to give them the MMPI-2-RF!
Chyna: You do not like to dwell on the past, you do not like to talk about the past.
Wheezy Craig: (Probably thinking) ok this moment has passed, now lets move on!
Thank you, Craig and Chyna for being a giant inspiration. Truly have loved watching and lurking the comments all these years 🤟🏻
They are the Kirk and Spock couple dynamic, classic!
"I'm skeptical of the validity of the MBTI." - Me, an INTJ.
Yeah, it's full of stereotypes
Also an INTJ and also think it's not useful for anything more than entertainment
Fellow INTJ checking in.
Fellow INTJ here. I take it the same way that I take Astrological signs, where there are interesting patterns to see occur across people who fall into a same niche, but obviously a pre-defined algorithm designed to categorize can't account for all the complexities of a mind. Though, in terms of the Astrological comparison, it's inherently more personalized than any birth-based category.
Hello, is this the INTJ convention? Sorry I'm late, I didn't wanna come.
Currently I'm following a course where the first module fucusses on yourself. The MBTI test was part of this.
Most tests are personality tests focussed on how you behave. The MBTI, however, is a character test, it focusses on what you are like behind those behaviours, what you were born with, what you would be like without years of conditioning you behaviour. If you are familiar with nature versus nurture, a personalyty test focusses on nurture whereas a character test, like MBTI, focusses on nature.
That makes the MBTI impossible to get right on the first go. To get as close as possible, you would need to answer keeping in mind what your natural response is. If you're not sure, you should think about how you would have reacted when you were young, as back then your behaviour was most likely less influenced by behaviour your surroundinga taught you.
To do the test really correctly, to get to your core, you would then need to spend a few hours with a trained person answering more questions, thinking about the answers, to get to your core.
When we did the MBTI we spent a day figuring out what we really were. Everybody in the class switched profile after nearly every set of qestions and the end result was never what they got from just taking the test like you guys did.
I have done a lot of personality tests, online and quickly like you guys, but this course was the first time I really dug into it. For me the MBTI was really an eye-opener once I got to my true character profile. It was alike a lot of stuff fell into place. I understood some things I had been struggling with, where it turned out my taught behaviour was opposite of what my character told me I should do. It really helped me learn a lot about myself and I understand better who I am and where certain behavioir comes from.
I won't bore you with the details. What I wanted to point out is first the difference between personality (bahviour, nueture) and character (nature) and second that fun as it can be to do these things quickly, for a character test to get to your true character, away from all behaviour you were taught over time, you need to really dig into it, spend a day analyzing yourself, preferrably aided by a professional.
Yep! Did it a few times and it started to get more accurate especially after doing it with a couple of counsellors. It's been a long learning journey!
I learned of the MBTI (Meyers Briggs) about ten years ago, and it has changed my way of seeing myself. I always doubted my place in the world and my capacity and permission to participate. After friends got me on to the MBTI, I learned that I wasn't weird, incompetent, worthy of rejection, but that six percent of the male and 4.5% of the female populations are like me and I simply had a definable personality type - no better or worse. I felt validated and just as competent worthy as everyone else. This discovery explained so much and injected me with a powerful boost of self-belief and confidence that remains with me. I wish i had known this fifty years ago.
You should have taken Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies quiz. That one changed how I saw myself and everyone around me in a big way.
Thanks for sharing the links to the tests! 😍
Called it. I knew he was an Ne-dom. I can sniff a fellow ENFP a mile away.
Hi there fellow ENFP
Totally agree with Craig that we only have our own understanding of ourselves, etc. The thing I think gets lost in translation (mostly online) with Enneagram is the difference between finding your type to hammer in "how you are" and using your type to work on yourself, your tendencies, and your blindspots. It's a self growth tool, but that often gets lost.
After years, I´ve resumed watching your videos and I am doing just what I did back in 2009 when I first found your channel... I am coming back to it after every couple of hours of work just to get my mind off of it. And it works just like it did over 10 years ago
Thank you very much for not having stopped!
Two more free quizzes you could take that I have found really helpful were the Clutterbug organizing test and the Four Tendencies test. I have found both of them helpful in various ways, not just informational.
On the topic of subjectivity: That's what personality is though.
You guys are making me laugh so hard in a room by myself.
Loved that you guys went through this. So good.
Congrats Craig on 1M. You guys are the best.
Congrats on your 1M!
I love when Chyna is in your videos! The dynamic the two of you have warms my heart and also, she just seems badass. Thanks for the entertaining channel :)
Well done on 1M subs!
Congrats on 1 million subscribers! I love your channel! You are just so real.
Your content makes me so wholesomely happy. Thank you and please keep making videos!
I absolutely adore you two! You make me laugh and cry happy tears to watch your loving, honest relationship. May it last forever.
Been watching your videos for a while man, this one had a very interesting and personal feel, good on you guys to put stuff like this out
Wow. 1m subscribers Craig!! Congrats. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning and I’m so happy you’ve gotten here. See you at 2m!!
Congrats on the first million!
Congratulations on 1 million!
Yaaaayyyy! You got it! Congrats!
Man you two have such amazing natural chemistry. Congrats on hitting 1million subs
Congratulations on 1 million subs!!!!
I absolutely love watching you two! 💛💛
The zoom at 6:06 !! LOL 😂
Congrats on 1 million subscribers!
Congrats on 1 million subs!
I almost spit my water with the "mayor of Spain" joke, love the channel so much
This is the only channel where the ad is always worth watching. Sometimes gets me. Give this man money, advertisers!
I love your videos, love the way you explain things. Congrats for your 1 million subscribers !
The enneagram has a lot of lovely things to help continue to strengthen your relationship based on the strengths and weaknesses of your strongest type. So look up 1s and 7s in relationships. Or “so your 1 is angry...” “So your 7 is angry...”
They’ve been helpful in validating how we interact with one another and what to say if emotions are running high.
I am also an Enneagram 1, and having watched you both for a long time I can see the parts of Chyna that speak to my personality too. We love our ones!
I love to see the videos of you two together!
Craig’s sponsor breaks are the only ones I actually manage to listen to the whole time. Like they’re just as interesting as the rest of the video
It would be super interesting to you went back and answered the quizzes for each other
I loved this video! It was fun, entertaining, and made me want to take some of these tests. I think I am a Dorthy as well...I will soon find out.
Congrats, WheezyWaiter 😄😄😄!!!
I love the recent videos. Its just more getting my attantention when both of you are taking part in. Subscribed! :)
CONGRATS IN 1.000.000.000 subs!! if somebody deserve it its you!
Timeless and priceless videos 😆
@12:28 lol ........I'm glad they got through that conflict!
Congrats on the 1Mil ya cutie
Love this video. I sent the link to my wife, hope she agrees to do this. Lol.
Most of all, congrats on 1mil, Craig. You have done such an amazing job, much love from Tulsa.
Great visit!!
Congratulations on getting the 100K TH-cam Play Button, you really deserved it.
I know people who swear by these personality tests, but I've always been more of a skeptic. Sure they're fun, but I wouldn't ever accept them as gospel.
Takes personality test. Result: "The Skeptic" (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Same
Just for funsies
Well the Myer's Briggs does work well, when done and gone in the right way. It can be used as a tool to find people similar to you, or to find out how to communicate with others (IF you have trouble)
The Enneagram helps you find growth and make you aware of yourself.
I think it's meant to be a tool rather than a gospel. It helps me understand a lot about myself that confused me. It helped me understand my ambiguous weirdness
Not a fan of watching sponsor plugs but you kept me on with pouring water on your face for fake tears 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 have not laughed this hard in awhile 😂 thank you
This might be the funniest video you have done in a while! I giggled and laughed all the way through the end 😄
Even the add talk was fun 👍🏼😀
I get INTP-A on all the different tests. No wonder I have no friends. Not that it bothers me.
Me too, friends are overrated anyways!
I knew there was a reason I liked Chyna so much, I’m an ESTJ too! And my husband is an INFP. Yes to vacuum the floor than buy me a necklace part. My husband recently started dropping of our recycling and picking up our grocery order for me, and I just bask in the glow of one less thing I have to do for our family life to function smoothly. I would like to suggest for next time, the tendency quiz from the Gretchen Rubin podcast/website. This author has discovered 4 personality types and how they respond to inner and outer expectations and how those personalities can improve their communication towards each other when requesting help/favors. Also, maybe for a future video-a happiness project (also a Gretchen Rubin invention), or test out the suggestions in the book Feel Better in 5 and see which “happiness hack” elicits the most bang for your buck.
I’m a 7, and an ENFP, just like Craig. And DEFINITELY a Blanche
This is basically the only channel where I enjoy watching the sponsors just as much as the actual content
I used to work at a resort property in Big Sur, California and the Owners of the property had all of us crew take the Color Code Test and we were all blown away by how right on it was. And it gives you info on how to get along with other 'colors' and how to maximize your strengths and downplay your weaknesses. It was really interesting. It helped me to understand a few things about myself and how I am motivated. I won't spoil anything for anyone who wants to try it out by explaining what any of the colors mean (red, blue, yellow, white) just check it out for yourself!
@11:47 Chyna wouldn't have let that arrow be misplaced with her perfectionism Wheezy 😅
Maybe you could do the same with astrological maps...
I want so badly to know!
As always, love a video with Chyna in it!! You guys are great together - you compliment one another. Too funny at the end when you're watching the plane going by - you look like a little kid. Love the comment about remembering travel; I chuckled at that; too true. ~ CONGATS on the TH-cam plaque, Wheezy!!! After all the time, effort and years you spent making videos you totally deserve it. Yay...Wheezy!!!!!! 😊
Hey Craig, I am an ENFP as well! Now my love of your channel makes sense. Which makes the world make more sense. I am happy now.
Normally for TH-camrs I skip the sponsors but you always make it so funny!! Also I'm an ENFP and I always had a hunch that you were too
Reminds me of the new HR guy employed where I worked as a bookkeeper. He was stunned that my personality test didn’t show what he’d expected - given my role at this company. The results were so even across all personality types, he re- checked his tally. Then told me that he’d never seen it before, in 1000’s of tests he’d done. Hah, what you do to earn money is not WHO you are!
When you watch "wheezywaiter - i met a girl" video from December 2011, youtube recommends you watch "wheezywaiter - my wife lists my top 5 flaws" video from 2018.
CONGRATS! I'm so pumped for you! Well deserved! The last test did say it all. lolol Thank you for being a (virtual) friend. xD
Great video! I have the same personality as Craig - ENFP, same love languages. I think ENFP correlates to the quality time aspects and words of affirmation aspects so much because ENFPs are so social and verbally fluent.
It's really cool watching this after watching over 350 of wheezy's earliest vids over the past few days. What a long strange trip it's been
Congratulations on the Million subs... I've subbed to you a LONG time.. how are you folks? Well, I hope. Take care.
I'm an ESTJ and an Enneagram 1 like Chyna. :) And my husband has similar results to Craig and we've been married for 29 years, so I think that bodes well for the two of you. :) We took Myers-Briggs way back at the beginning of our marriage, but took the Enneagram just in the last couple years. Never took the Golden Girls test. Oh, and our love languages are opposite, but we've known that for years too and try to speak the other's love language intentionally. Great video!
Great video and activity! Would have been interesting to read your horoscopes from your local newspaper (if that's a thing where you live) at the end to see if they applied or linked with the other test results 👍🏻
i'm so excited for your enneagram results, i've always suspected him as a 7 and her as a 1. By the way, 7's and 1's do share some traits since 1's integrate toward 7 (becoming spontaneous and joyful) while 7's disintegrate toward 1 (becoming critical of themselves and others).
Love Wheezy
The only personality test that i know of that has any scientific merit so far is The Big Five Model.
Hogan is based off of the big 5 model and is extremely valid
I've found no matter what sort of test one takes, one's mood while testing very much dictates the results.
@@spmil999 one of the indicators of reliability and validity is known as test-retest reliability. The Hogan and the big 5 have extremely high test-retest reliability.
A bad test will not have this trait. The reason why psychologists despise the enneagram and the MBTI is because, as you alluded to, you can take the same test 5 times and get 5 different results
If they make you feel seen or understood they have merit even if they aren't necessarily scientifically accurate/useful/reproducable. Also they can be fun and that has merit too.
That's because the Big 5 uses a continuous scale.
MBTI fails because it tries to make strong assumptions about something as complex as personality.
Like you can't say someone is "A" or "B" since we are all a mix of both, and if the bell-curve applies most people lie near the middle.
Fun thing I did with my sister is we filled out the personality tests pretending to be each other. It was really interesting to see what type of personality we got for each other as it gave us an insight into how we thought of each other.
YOU SHOULD FILL OUT THE TESTS FOR EACH OTHER! But really that's normally a good way to see how you're viewed, have someone answer for you
Oh the internet’s going to love this. Also, I do want more.
I'd love to see one where partners take these tests for each other
I love when enneagram feels so true that it makes the reader feel embarrassed. It's so powerful.
Also: you're really only one enneagram type at your core, not multiple, although you might have similarities with other types. Theres one core negative driver that determines the type, that's what makes people feel exposed upon reading it.
I agree with the statement “how well do we know ourselves to be accurately taking this quiz” more or less the quote. I hate questions like “others view you as... (blank)” I don’t know!!
Yayyy! Come to Spain!!!!
I'm glad you skipped to the results instead of going through a bunch of the questions. This was way more entertaining!
This was a great idea! Im going to ask my man to do this with me.
I'm an ENFP too!!! It's probably why I love you so much!!!!
Fun video! 😄
