The best thing you said, and the moment I almost cried, was when you said that we are the best hard workers. It's the thing that motivates me the most, when someone recognizes that in me. Now I'm fired up!
When someone calls me a hard worker, I assume they’re telling me I’m stupid. Ah, well she’s stupid but she works hard. I’m a philosopher type but not sure which one.
I laughed out loud when you said we had no talent, realising this and focusing on being an ideas person who can bring the people with talent together has really served me well.
As an ENFP, i really aprecciate that you even changed the way you talk to reach us. It's really nice, especially since I have an ENTP friend who doesn't know how to do it.
bro that friend is not worth it. He is like that because u r bullshit to him. Entps r so self absorbed with their ti . If he ain't giving u the respect u deserve they don't deserve nice treatment faithfulness and friendship from your side espcially if you are doing ur best to be as good as u can be.
My notes: - Charity (giving small things/presents) enables all transitions - _Responsibility-Ne_ : focus on what matters (and not on trivial things/info) - _Certainty-Ni_ : Contemplate opportunities in solitude - _Faith-Si_ : Developing good habits: reading nonfiction; Doing hard work and try & error (and no searching for talent): outcompeting everyone & being out of my comfort zone - _Love-Se_ : being grateful for reality; strengthening/healing people; every goal will be possible when focusing on charity (enable massive societal change through vision)
Im a INFJ and Im just learning about the cognitive functions and you really described my ENFP husband. He passed away on June/2023. He was the most intelligent, hard working and generous person I’ve ever met. He had deep strong connections with his friends and we’ll know on for his unique sense of humor. He was whether loved or hated . Nothing in the middle . As an INFJ, I unknowingly played my role of calling him out publicly to control his Se Demon. We were a great team as he used to called us. I miss him so much. Thank you for your video, I can attest to everything you said in the video ❤
It’s true we have no innate talent, we just can get better at things quicker than everyone else if we try. But man is it hard to commit to “trying” lol
I feel like my mind just exploded because of the way you're explaining about Prophet Muhammad PBUH. You're really picking and choosing your words wisely which blew my mind and my respect and admiration towards you are over the roof ! 😆❤️
@@vizuz but seriously, I'm now in a good mood and I'm ok with what he says, and I see the point, but god help when I'm feeling depressed and then I will remember this and will tell myself: see even he said you are dumb and talentless and I will cry 🤷♀️ I really stuggle with my confidence
You hit it hard! I didn't know I needed to hear all this. I wish I had this kind of parenting as a little ENFP girl. Ok, now I see what it means to work hard and develop this ISTJ in me. I am kinda excited now. Nonetheless It hurt a little bit to hear "you have no talent" but when I listen to it being sure it is said to benefit me and tell me the truth I can handle it and use the message. It takes maturity to get all these. But isn't it what we're here for?
The way i see it (im an enfp too), the hard work that we put in will come across as talent. And the only reason we initially get butthurt when we hear we're talentless is because we think won't be able to show ourselves off..now that we know we're able to show ourselves off once we put the work in it doesnt matter😎
@@SirYITCHIN exactly ~ had I been taught more Real-World skillz, I'd probably not be so afraid of Reality & how to buckle-down + be organized/scheduled. . . . paperwork literally makes me ill, and doing Si tasks kills me a little bit each time 😞
@@jtwright4095 yep right on, thats why we gotta use our Te child to absorb all the information available to us..as they say, in the age of information, ignorance is a "choice." I despise paperwork too lmao, i feel it making my mind dull every time🤯
It's funny, co worker told me today (after I grabbed an automotive creeper by the *one side* that didnt have a handle) That I have a gift for finding the hardest way of doing something, and that seems to be my natural state lmao
Came back here to thank you! I always thought exposing ENFPs publicly was a little harsh but now I can say that it works. Today, an ESTP exposed an ENFP for manipulating my classmates into doing his schoolworks. Thank God someone finally did that. Templars are blessings.
I’m a ENFP and I’m a day trader. I have a INTJ friend that’s also a trader. She’s been trying to “crack the code” for 9 years. I believe bc I can go through information super fast with my Ne, I have been able to funnel down to the best information….I’m in the middle of becoming a funded trader. And she’s still trying to figure things out. Not sure if that helps.she’s brilliant with systems and data but I can say that when it comes to figuring things out and collecting information, I’d say I’m faster in that way. Haha and trial and error in trading will have a other types crying in the floor, but as an ENFP, I want MORE! Hahaha I want more patterns and information and I love that shit. Very exciting stuff for me. And I do this ALONE. I love this bc I feel myself becoming smarter, and it also validated me bc of the ti trickster. I feel smart 🤓 😂
Hey CS Joseph ENFP here.. I'm watching your video at 3 a.m. and your video was such an eye opener to me. Thanks for holding this mirror in front of my face! You greatly motivate me to change my ways and become a better person. Thank you for this video.
I’m an ENTJ (INTJs cousin we have the exact same functions just different order) who dated an ENFP for a very long time and have had many ENFP friends. I will say you guys are EXTREMELY likeable. I have Ni as my second function so I love your intuitive nature. You guys have good ideas too and it’s very fun to go on these abstract mental adventures with you guys. I do have some constructive criticism to give, (assuming you’re an ENFP) so maybe you can work on this. As a dominant Te user, logic is my way of life (same with INTJs btw). My problem with the ENFP is it’s not possible to reason with logic. You guys just don’t respond to it no matter how hard I try to break it down. You guys will just do whatever the hell you feel like doing, and then you find yourself at 35 years old and still having done nothing with your lives (sorry if that’s a rude wake up call). The problem is you don’t listen to peoples advice no matter how much sense it makes. You’re more concerned with having fun and socializing that you avoid taking on any responsibility or boring tasks that bring you closer to your goals. Fortunately you’re very likable so you can pretty much just get other people to help you with the hard stuff, but how far can you really go if you never feel like taking on the workload? Of course it’s uncomfortable working on the process and I understand that being a low Se user definitely doesn’t make it easier for you, but you NEED to focus and work on that. Your functions are like a muscle and they will become stronger the more you use them. There’s much more to life then just shooting the shit with your friends and wasting all your time accomplishing nothing. Pick out a ONE goal, and work on it RELENTLESSLY. I know you guys have a new goal every week but really try to pick the most important one (buying a house, building a business, finishing school, learning a language, starting a TH-cam channel, etc). Quit chasing after fun all the time and go accomplish at least one thing and I promise you will feel so proud of yourself. You can start with working 10 minutes a day on your goal and slowly work your way up. The key is to be CONSISTENT and to do it every. Single. Day. With no excuses like oh I’m hungover, or oh I have to go to a party soon, or oh I actually my dog needs a bath. Just focus on your goal, and work until you’ve reached it. Quit fucking around.
There’s definitely deeper reasons for what caused them not to listen to your advice, it probably wasn’t right for their introverted feeling but they were too nice to say the real reason straightforward because people think not listening to their advice is like insulting or disrespectful.
Can I ask what you define as logic? Because it's actually very interesting topic of discussion... Do you feel that additional perspective and abstract correlation isn't refining our logic? I think you would be very surprised how logical our minds are actually! Closing your mind to a couple paths and limiting your perspective to conform doesn't make you more logical.... It's more like we don't accept anything as absolute. We don't explore possibilities for unlogical and fun. Like people tend to think. We are correlators and branching outside of the normal is actually to find a deeper understanding! I think if you spent a little more time reflecting on your own logic you may realize logical is like normal and what's normal? Is it everything your fed or what you choose to eat?
I am definitely intrigued to continue listening to your content because of your straightforward approach to highlighting where type personalities can get hung up. Some very useful information regarding how ENFP need to develop discipline, work hard and focus on one thing at a time and complete it. I do disagree with the fact that ENFP are talentless. Every type has talent, but I took it to mean, quit assuming that ENFP are going to get by on that alone, because we are not - we have to work for what we want. I also think ENFP, because they can get into people's psyche very easily, can be very good at typing others. I am NOT into the advice of shaming an ENFP in public - that actually is horrible advice and boarders on abusive. This actually is very damaging to ENFP (or anyone) as we do tend to get bullied and not because people are "calling us out", but because they see our charity as weak. It works just as well if someone (we trust) provides the feedback in private. I sense you have not met many mature ENFP.
I was regularly shamed as a child/young-adult.. So I AM a successful ENFP. thank you. ... some people have reacted to me strangely thruout my life ~ this was when I was learning about depravity .. . I was raised with depravity, so..... But I ended up surrounded by a whole bunch of Southern Baptists/Born-again at a Christian elementary skool . ..they guided me towards a different way: CHARITY !!! 😀☺💕💕💜
As an enfp, i really come to conclusions about my weaknesses from my life experiences witch was the same that you had mentioned in this lecture! great job so Thank you 🌼 { Peace be upon prophet Mohammed}
Si inferior is such a pain in the ass. You're right though, that gratitude is the means to smooth cognitive transition into the istj subconscious. ...and the Se demon is so tempting. Too bad there's no easy way to access it without killing everyone.
Thank you for this video. I particularly like your description of what a ‘blessing’ is, as being more than you give, very humbling. I embarrassed to admit I hadn’t thought of it this way before. I’m going to explain this point to my kids.
The shaming thing, i dont know. With adults maybe, but kids? Especially with how bullying affects self esteem. Look how celebrities handle it, terribly. They go crazy and start living the things they are called, like Britney Spears or Amanda Bynes.
Also, as an ENFP I do charity work, but sometimes I wonder whether I do it because I'm good or people will think I'm good, I don't openly brag about it, or put it on social media but again..is that because I'm aware of how that makes me look. Then I come to the conclusion that the end result is good regardless, I help people and it makes me feel good so it's a win win!
Hey C. S Joseph, I’ve never met you in real life, but if I did I would hug you - you alone put a lot of my life into perspective and your knowledge is incredibly impressive. I seek to be charitable and super focused, in pursuit of being focused I take nootropics, exercise and eat a vegan diet to fine tune my machine so that I can be fuelled with only good things so that I have no excuses for lacklustre performance. Thank you! ❤️
I am absolutely nothing like what you are describing here, and I'm a hard-core ENFP... Maybe I'm one of the good ones, but all these negatives that you're describing, although they do apply in a sense, the level of negativity that you're infering is pretty astonishing. To your credit, you are ridiculously intelligent and far more informed on this subject. I will say, ive never another ENFP that is as nefarious as you describe. Loving to love others is at the core of who we are. A lot of what your describing is a complete contradiction to that very principle. I'd love your thoughts...
The podcast on ENFP personal growth, season 19, was the most inspiring thing I've read/listened to as an ENFP since I discovered typology. Thank you for it. I apologize for thinking you bore some personal grudge toward the type.
As an enfp I'm excellent at typing people. I typically type them visually and am spot on. Watch Eric type them and I already have them figured out from the first few mins.
Let me get this straight ... 🤔 If I focus on putting in hard work, developing discipline + healthy habits ... I can become successful, learn to love my reality, be respected + become charitable .... No way!!! Eyes = opened
WOW! Thank you for making THIS video of ENFP. When I originally saw your ENFP video in season 3 I was really disappointed in how negative you viewed us. Today this video of yours was posted in my ENFP facebook group and at first I wasn't gonna watch it, but I am so glad I did. This video not only covered both positives and negatives evenly, it also gave much better examples! Bravo!
I want to say thank you Joseph and tell you something about the Islamic regime. As Muslims, we believe that Islam is a system of life and it is a revelation from God and not from the invention of the Prophet Muhammad, and it is a system for all people from God “the Creator” in order to live happily in this life. As for Muhammad, he is a human being and a messenger, so that people can learn from him practically and be an example and a leader for them (it is the practical application of the theory). Aisha when she got married was a very young woman (but she is called a child at this time). So this is not a shame at all.
I am getting a lot out of this series. I recently participated in a discussion and was on the side of criticism towards your content. However, I had not watched your videos in the past couple years. I am learning valuable information and I understand that the “harshness” some people dislike is done from a place of love. I now receive your content as enlightening and feel you true to your mission and purpose. And seeing the progression in content gives clarity that you are someone doing real work on yourself. If I ever participate in any other discussions about you, I will speak with my updated opinion.
I know it's good before I watch it. Like when going to a restaurant you love and ordering something you haven't tried because you know no matter what it's gonna be the bomb. And I don't mean to offend anyone who has been a victim of bombing.
I like your deep understanding of the ENFP personality. It's not about talent. I've been always considered as talented in various fields, but struggled with hard work. Thank you for this video. PS i love your "you're talentless, it's time for hard work" attitude;) it works for me;)
Thank you for this! I'm gonna be a good ENFP from now on! I'm a nice pharmacist and not a snake oil salesman... The microbiome is responsible for aging. We're gonna stop that! Good talk!
This is very in-depth and helpful for understanding myself as an ENFP. I can understand your points about how we can fall into depravity. I think everyone can-we are all very selfish. Also, I don’t understand how you can speak on such detailed, technical topics for an hour straight hahah. I would need an agenda to go through all that information
6:24 There is absolute truth, anything can be true, and it’s all about what you believe. What is real? That might be the missing piece for you. Truth is subjective. Thanks for all your videos, I’ve been watching you for a while now and you’ve helped me so much. So thank you!
So me being able to figure out what's true or not is my Blindspot. I feel like I don't care about truth. No one cares about truth when things need to get done and "untrue" strategies work anyways. Also people don't care about truth if it hurts their feelings.
ENFPs are intensely aware of our own values and would find it felt very bad to work as a snake oil salesperson. Yes we could sell it, but it would make us feel extremely bad and inauthentic to do so.
As an ISTJ (ENFP focused) I worked out that some people (Ti users) try to embarrass people into doing the opposite of what they say, so then i do DO directly what they say to me (to trick them back), for example if a Ti user says to me "you're too lazy to achieve that" i actually be lazy and be like "yes, you're right about that i will just chill out then (whilst thinking...why dont you just tell me what you think i should do?)", but now i am an adult i think i should act like ti users are actually tricking me into doing something, so in future when Ti users give me the "you're to lazy to achieve that" i will still think what i previously thought, but i will stop being lazy because i know that's more along the lines of what they mean, I've also noticed Ti users don't like being micro managed, so maybe they like being challenged like that, so i will just go along with their embarrassment thing and let them think im falling for that trick, even though that trick hasn't worked on me since I was in 2nd grade. Thanks for helping me develop this perspective Chase!
The end really resonated with me so much. I am talentless but do benefit the most from hard work. I was working really hard in my economics class early in the year, so much so that my teacher called me a genius. Then I let it get to my head and just think the stuff came naturally to me. My grades subsequently dropped. I just can't seem to trust in that Si inferior and adopt good habits. I hate to suck at something and have to work hard to get better, but, when I do get everything going great, I don't seem to value that enough to keep it going. I hate reality when I am losing and love it when I am winning, but I just have to accept it for what it is. And I do worry excessively about my future too; I can't even pick a major because I think it limits all the other possibilities. I'm starting to buy into this MBTI stuff, even though it's something I still don't understand.
Oh my God you're so right I read/watch/consume/engage in so much and I remember times which I was reading something usefull like when I was learning music and growing my knowledge on it but on the contrary I have spent so much time learning stuff that I don't know I'll even use or not. You name it I've engaged in it in some shape or form and this mbti stuff was just another one of em random ass engagements of mine which somehow is paying off which is kind of funny cuz my whole plan was if I extend my self wide enough and take a shovel to every land I have to strike gold some day and yh these are one of those days. Focused and meaningful engagement from now on at least half the time. I can consume some porn and jokes and cartoons yet I'm not a robot but not most of the time God you are so right. I remember sometime I was just into health and business and self care and social stuff and money and... I was shining. Literally. People told me bro your skin your face is shining what the fuck are you doing to look this way. So there goes about the subconscious I have to go back to be focused with my engagement. I have the 3 out of the way I just need some explanation on the unconcious infj/ni
The ‘No Talent’ bit really made me think. Ever since I was a kiddo, I’ve plateaued at every skill I pursued. Dance, violin, cheerleading, hair braiding, tech. I just hit a ceiling at some point. Switched my major a good 3 times and am not using my degree.
thank you so much for your content. Ive drawn from it for nearly 2 years now. its amazing how accurate this stuff is. ppl tell me mbti and such isnt very applicable then i find their type and watch them do exactly what you say. psychology has endless application. i DEFINATELY needed to spend A LOT of time alone and distance myself from family. life has new colors when you're pursueing meaningfulness.
ENFP’s like any other type go through phases from what I’ve noticed in people we switch at major biological changes in the brain after neuronal pruning 7-11 after hormonal maturity 17-21 after the pre frontal cortex develops fully 25-30 the ENFP has these phases: INFP’s ENFJ’s ESFP’s or ENTP’s. But they often will say I feel like an INFP because they are the least extroverted of the extroverts in terms of total time to recharge that’s because they burn themselves out with their parental Fi. But watch carefully these subtypes are very real. I’ve analyzed many people and we all have them they’re very reliable for explaining the variance across different narratives of people of the same type
Self identified ENFP: Being continuously publically shamed by my teachers in middle school destroyed my childhood and left me with deep mental scars which inhibit many parts of my life to this day. These people were not helping anyone least of all me. They were bullies motivated by factors beyond my control. It feels like the subject of shame as a tool for social engineering requires more caveats than you've supplied here given its potential for abuse. Enjoy your content, my two cents.
You’re very right when you said we are very money centric because that’s absolutely true lol at least for me. I’m currently running 4 different businesses, it’s exhausting but I just can’t stop.
Nah more like NTJs are good at things, which i find is more of a hindrance than anything, because the moment i cant get something quickly, i get very annoyed
I felt self-destructive, and blamed my own "murdering" of my ENFP ego self on my INFJ wife, ISFJ mom and ESFJ best friend. Did my ESTP superego caused me to end up being misjudged as ISFP in your element/weapon test? Reminds me of back then 5 years ago, my friends initially thought I was ENTJ when I was trying to compensate.
I want to know more about intp transitions because i feel like do not know enougth about intp's. Love the quality content you are producing :D great to See that these sessions are Turner into a full fledged thing now with the new black board :D
I think ENFP believers they are great people and they intend to be kind. However, their actions translate a little differently. It’s okay to consider the truth and then modify it to your specific circumstances. You can be kind, but have selfish tendencies... That has been a reoccurring experience with many people who have come across ENFPs. It’s lectures like these to help the ENFP maintain the balance between their kindness and their self-serving tendencies.
Visuals great, audio not so good, fuzzy sounding. I understand you pushing towards hard work and charity as I've seen happy and productive ENFPs do exactly that and have it work for them. A good example of such an ENFP would be Ashley from Bestdressed on TH-cam, and Micarah Tewers. However the public shaming just rubs me the wrong way. I know that is what you've observed to work in reality, but coming from the view of a person with a bunch of mental health issues from parents shaming me- it has done nothing to improve my self efficacy, in fact it did the opposite. I would type myself as an INFP though, so perhaps that isn't the way for my type, but I would consider this applicable as the virtues and vice are all shared by the same quadra. Perhaps there is some way of making consequences happen faster for ENFP's? That way they will learn quicker. Agreed on needing the multiple viewpoints... You mentioned that depression and anxiety/trauma can impact on your typing, would you be able to do a video on that at some point? Thankyou for creating all this content. I look forward to watching what you come up with next.
Shame can be a dangerous emotion. I understand it can be helpful if it is kept to one very specific issue, and probably bolstered by positivity too 'you are a great person with the potential to do great things but you arent going to if you dont get up off your ass' yeah i can see that working. Just gotta be careful it's not said, or construed as 'youre a terrible worthless person' because if kids internalise these kind of thoughts it can really mess them up and yes lead to mental health issues. Loving kindness alongside pushing someone to be the best person they can be and calling them out on their flaws whike pointing out how good they can get though, is different and i think that's the type of 'public shaming' you mean. Cos i think that's what you do in your videos. You point out the potential in each type as long as they stop doing a or b etc. Which is awesome!
I wouldn't say public shaming is healthy- it can damage a reputation as people cannot unsee what they have seen, which the enfp is aware of. I think I could actually be very discouraging and personally would cause me to spiral. Give them something to strive for or publicly praise them for their achievements. Just because something 'works' doesn't make it healthy.
Thank you for all the knowledge you’re spreading! I’m confused about something, I’m still not sure what type I am, I’m not even sure about my extravert/introvert nature anymore..! 😆 😅 all the tests type me as INFP, yours is balancing between INFP and INTP and based on what I’m learning from your video about the functions, I’m starting to wonder if I’m not an ENFP…! And where I lose all certainty is around the WHY I do things more than the what or how… For instance here, you’re saying ENFPs are all about the process rather than the outcome and they try and try and try and enjoy the journey more than the goal. Which is 100% the story of my life. BUT the reason WHY I’m trying (and study DEEPLY every attempt…) is because I enjoy more having satisfaction right away and getting to to the right outcome the first time around… this is the plan… just that in order to reach my goal I need to step outside roll up my sleeves and try one of the many options I studied… but picking one is a pain for me, I’d like to try them all simultaneously (maybe one day with quantum physics we’ll get to travel through parallel dimensions 🤞🏻 haha) but NATURALLY I don’t really enjoy paddling in the dark… what I want in the first place is to reach the outcome I wanted… But as a result my life looks like a chain of attempts after attempts after attempts so it may look like ENFP who enjoys the process, but I think it’s more an INFP struggling..!! 😅
I interesting. I think you just articulated exactly what I was feeling. I'm on similar journey... For too long now it's frustrating. I started out enfp, istp isfp infp isfp now finally I'm enfp.
@@natashacovich477 omg balancing with INTP too!! Haha I think we should be the same type in the end, we should meet up!! Haha Yeah I eventually ended up as an extrovert because I do need a lot of time alone and I enjoy it very much (the lock down in my tiny parisian apartment was surprisingly (even for myself!) the best time of my life!) but when I think about it and the reasons why I enjoy solitude that much is because its the way I feel connected with people. Like I can think quietly About how I could be of service and during the lock down I was posting a lot on instagram, to help people meditate and I started a blog to help people with addictions etc. So my solitude is not necessarily tinted with egocentrism but rather a twisted way to connect with my human fellows..! Which I love! I love studying people, watching them live, I think people are fascinating… (which is also a trait that makes hard for me to choose ONE partner because I’d want to share a lifetime with all of them..! Haha) 😅
I'd like to say that the prophet Muhammad being an ENFP is very debatable , about him marrying Aisha you can clearly see that back then until like 4-5 generations ago it was actually very common to see that kind of thing espically in our society , hell my grandmother got married at the age of 14 , and some people still do that to this very day ,very rare but still there , it's up to the bride and the circumstances of the situation I guess , so no it is not a depravity thing it was very normal back then , and I can say by reading the Quran and the prophetic biography that he was an introvert for example there's a verses in the Quran where Allah had to tell his friends and the people in general to stop coming to his house and staying there to chat for a long periods of time because it was very upsetting to the prophet who wouldn't say anything because he was shy to do that, and every Muslim knows that the prophet liked solitary he would go to this cave called "Hira" everyday away from people to think on his own and admire the beauty of the universe which lead him to the conclusion that this universe couldn't be made by those "gods" who are made of nothing but rock and by the hands of people , even though everyone he knew believed otherwise back then sounds very Ti to me . I agree with you on him being and idealist he was very people focused indeed and very abstract might I add, but he was not informative nor initiating at all I mean he was the one who said "he who believes in Allah and the last day, let him speak good or remain silent.", that alone with so many other stories shows how direct he was , but I'd like to hear more about why you think he's an ENFP and for you to consider the information I gave you on that 🤔
C.S. Joseph I’m not saying I know the science better I’m saying I know the prophet better and I’m only hoping that you’ll read more about him before typing him 🤷🏻♀️
I read lots of books but whenever I want to recall something I remeber only the big picture and cant go into details which makes me look like an idiot in front of my friends any advice?
As an ENFP, this is spot on. I watched you type Jeffree Star as an ENFP and almost everything you've said here applies to him. He is a good makeup artist but the success of his company is definitely because of his image and youtube presence rather than pure talent. Moneycentric- he just bought multi-million mansion and has vault filled with birkins. Tattoos- yep, covered in them head to toe. He's a fantastic example of a successful, hardworking ENFP and I personally look up to him xD Thanks for the videos, great work as always!
On the ENFP VS INTJ thing : I believe enfp's start really fast but slow down until they finish(if they do😅) and, well, if an INTJ actually starts something it would be the other way around. I think that they are compensating the start with the finish so they're both the fastest. But ENFPs get the credit because they start fast and it is more likely that someone will look AT HOW FAST a person is going AT THE START because they want to predict how that person will work, whereas NOT MANY look at how fast a person works at the END of a project.
10:45 "INTJ vs ENFP, who's faster?" maybe ENFP is faster in the beginning while INTJ is faster towards the end. Being INTJ myself, I notice that I need lots of time in the beginning to understand how things work (during which I'm slow in actually making work progress). When it finally clicks, I know the perfect optimal way to achieve maximal performance, and then nobody will outperform me.
Great video! Learned a lot 🙏 I am a sexual 7 myself, I was wondering if you correlate enneagram and mbti together? In the sense of a self pres 7 is all about getting a good deal, getting away with it. More gluttonous in the sense of the world. I really see this in an ENFP being a charlatan and depraved. Myself, I’m more interested in the higher aspect of gluttony. Earth stuff doesn’t botter me, inferior Si is see as the epitome of boredom, yet I learned so much from Si people . The sexual is much more about the gluttony of love, and less getting a good deal. Like things like buying a hand sanitizer wouldn’t interest me, but manipulating people to escape guilt, get a love out of people, tell a story and “at more details” just for my own narcism would definitely be the case. I am more depraved in the sense of getting attention, and use people for my own private joke. So my depravtiy comes from different interest, but in the end same thing. I have a feeling a lot people think there are type 4 ENFP. But I don’t see this is possible in the sense of Ne is constantly active, endless ideas and mind connections. This does seem possible in type 4. They deal with their own worth and put off a image of “feeling special” yet have a constant inner lack themself. This correlates more with Fi. Defense mechanism is introjection, they suck negative emotions in, in order to get even worse negative emotions out. The depravity from the seven is rationalization. They rationalize every little emotion, action in their own mind just not te feel blamed. Ne is literally designed for escaping reality, boredom and pain. Fi is designed for a inner landscape, all about being authentic. Ne is a fluid function, correlates a lot with a fluid mind and have no inner morale compass. Long answer, with no conclusive text sounds like me.
Ohhh, my dad is an ENTP who brought up two ENFP girls. He was our hero when we were young but then the teen years hit... yeah you're in for a world of pain, lol. We fought, we tested, we bucked and acted out. We even reduced him to tears a couple of times. I remember getting called out many times for being selfish and manipulative and all it did, really, was help refine the process lol. I could literally get away with framing someone for murder now. Fortunately, however, he also he helped instil in me a keen set of morals and a firm sense of right and wrong. Those morals would kick my but so hard if I decided to use my gift for evil... well... too much evil.
You could not be more wrong about ENFP's treating truth as subjective!! I am VERY objective when it comes to facts. I wish you had given an example so I could follow up with a more accurate response. Other than that your video was amazing!
Sorry serious question. How do you know if you shouldn't just keep on going the same direction while reading the functions for parts of the mind For example enfp Ne Fi : ENFP ego Te Si : ESTJ subconscious Ni Fe : INFJ unconcious Ti Se : ISTP super ego why is this not right? I have one guess which wouldn't totally answer it but maybe Te Si is the Child persona and Ti Se is the trickster persona. (But you can ignore this part of the message since it is something that I have near to zero clue about
Hey C.S. I have been typed by OPS as an ENFP Ne/Te jumper. There are so many things that ring true based on your analysis. The thing I find different is I really care about what's actually true. However, I do understand that our society as a whole has determined truth to be subjective which is self-refuting because that is literally the opposite of truth. Te wants consistency on the spectrum of truth. The most "Accurate truth" should "rise to the top." Well that doesn't seem to be true either. In the context of truth I hate being a jumper ENFP. I wish I had Ti so I didn't think of the spectrum of truth so highly. Or that I was Ni/Te so I didn't have to look at the spectrum of ideas so far out. I probably just need to develop my Fi but Fi is so selfish and I struggle to do it. I feel like I become very self centered when I lean into my Fi too much.
Great video ! I have personally been bitten by the Selfish depraved nature of ENFPs umpteen times. Just a curious idea: Is the philosopher quadra super affiliative and rule creating/abiding in order to avoid their Fi depravity? "We are all selfish and depraved, however we don't have a sense of reality or what we individually want, so let's create rules and systems where everyone has to depend on each other"
The best thing you said, and the moment I almost cried, was when you said that we are the best hard workers. It's the thing that motivates me the most, when someone recognizes that in me. Now I'm fired up!
When someone calls me a hard worker, I assume they’re telling me I’m stupid. Ah, well she’s stupid but she works hard. I’m a philosopher type but not sure which one.
Isn't that bs though 😂 like, enfps, hard workers? U need reality check, whoever thinks like that
@@dota2gameplays778 yeah bro you need one too. To realise that si aspiration is a thing.
I laughed out loud when you said we had no talent, realising this and focusing on being an ideas person who can bring the people with talent together has really served me well.
As an ENFP, i really aprecciate that you even changed the way you talk to reach us. It's really nice, especially since I have an ENTP friend who doesn't know how to do it.
he did? ......
bro that friend is not worth it. He is like that because u r bullshit to him. Entps r so self absorbed with their ti . If he ain't giving u the respect u deserve they don't deserve nice treatment faithfulness and friendship from your side espcially if you are doing ur best to be as good as u can be.
My notes:
- Charity (giving small things/presents) enables all transitions
- _Responsibility-Ne_ : focus on what matters (and not on trivial things/info)
- _Certainty-Ni_ : Contemplate opportunities in solitude
- _Faith-Si_ : Developing good habits: reading nonfiction; Doing hard work and try & error (and no searching for talent): outcompeting everyone & being out of my comfort zone
- _Love-Se_ : being grateful for reality; strengthening/healing people; every goal will be possible when focusing on charity (enable massive societal change through vision)
Im a INFJ and Im just learning about the cognitive functions and you really described my ENFP husband. He passed away on June/2023. He was the most intelligent, hard working and generous person I’ve ever met. He had deep strong connections with his friends and we’ll know on for his unique sense of humor. He was whether loved or hated . Nothing in the middle . As an INFJ, I unknowingly played my role of calling him out publicly to control his Se Demon. We were a great team as he used to called us. I miss him so much. Thank you for your video, I can attest to everything you said in the video ❤
Me: "Chase, liking the comment isn't an answer to a question."
*C.S. Joseph liked this comment*
Whoops
It’s true we have no innate talent, we just can get better at things quicker than everyone else if we try. But man is it hard to commit to “trying” lol
--Trying ONE thing
I feel like my mind just exploded because of the way you're explaining about Prophet Muhammad PBUH. You're really picking and choosing your words wisely which blew my mind and my respect and admiration towards you are over the roof ! 😆❤️
Right?? Really respect him more for this 👏
Great lighting, great mic. Video is probably the best you've done as far as the visuals.
Just found out that i’m ENFP and started watching this video. This video was just amazing keep up the good work!
You know how to kick an enfp ass by telling they are TALENTLESS😅😭🤷♀️
@@vizuz but seriously, I'm now in a good mood and I'm ok with what he says, and I see the point, but god help when I'm feeling depressed and then I will remember this and will tell myself: see even he said you are dumb and talentless and I will cry 🤷♀️ I really stuggle with my confidence
The lighting and the audio is fine. Also, keep the blackboard. It has better contrast than the whiteboard.
Plus, it increases his gentleness.
@@cynthiapereira8403yeah it also increases its inability to be read by anyone, keep being cute!
You hit it hard! I didn't know I needed to hear all this. I wish I had this kind of parenting as a little ENFP girl. Ok, now I see what it means to work hard and develop this ISTJ in me. I am kinda excited now. Nonetheless It hurt a little bit to hear "you have no talent" but when I listen to it being sure it is said to benefit me and tell me the truth I can handle it and use the message. It takes maturity to get all these. But isn't it what we're here for?
how does the INFJ shadow help in the development of an ENFP's ego?
The way i see it (im an enfp too), the hard work that we put in will come across as talent.
And the only reason we initially get butthurt when we hear we're talentless is because we think won't be able to show ourselves off..now that we know we're able to show ourselves off once we put the work in it doesnt matter😎
@@raedjamal5779 no idea how to answer. Could you ask it diffrerntly?
@@SirYITCHIN exactly ~ had I been taught more Real-World skillz,
I'd probably not be so afraid of Reality & how to buckle-down + be organized/scheduled. . . . paperwork literally makes me ill, and doing Si tasks kills me a little bit each time 😞
@@jtwright4095 yep right on, thats why we gotta use our Te child to absorb all the information available to us..as they say, in the age of information, ignorance is a "choice." I despise paperwork too lmao, i feel it making my mind dull every time🤯
Visuals are fantastic, but imo the microphone isn't so great.
It's funny, co worker told me today (after I grabbed an automotive creeper by the *one side* that didnt have a handle)
That I have a gift for finding the hardest way of doing something, and that seems to be my natural state lmao
Came back here to thank you! I always thought exposing ENFPs publicly was a little harsh but now I can say that it works. Today, an ESTP exposed an ENFP for manipulating my classmates into doing his schoolworks. Thank God someone finally did that. Templars are blessings.
I’m a ENFP and I’m a day trader. I have a INTJ friend that’s also a trader. She’s been trying to “crack the code” for 9 years. I believe bc I can go through information super fast with my Ne, I have been able to funnel down to the best information….I’m in the middle of becoming a funded trader. And she’s still trying to figure things out. Not sure if that helps.she’s brilliant with systems and data but I can say that when it comes to figuring things out and collecting information, I’d say I’m faster in that way. Haha and trial and error in trading will have a other types crying in the floor, but as an ENFP, I want MORE! Hahaha I want more patterns and information and I love that shit. Very exciting stuff for me. And I do this ALONE. I love this bc I feel myself becoming smarter, and it also validated me bc of the ti trickster. I feel smart 🤓 😂
Now that's TALENT❤
I spent the first 3mins admiring the handwriting on that sleek board.
It's his neatest yet lol
it's Railgun's
C.S. Joseph lol i thought so😅
Hey CS Joseph ENFP here.. I'm watching your video at 3 a.m. and your video was such an eye opener to me. Thanks for holding this mirror in front of my face! You greatly motivate me to change my ways and become a better person. Thank you for this video.
I’m an ENTJ (INTJs cousin we have the exact same functions just different order) who dated an ENFP for a very long time and have had many ENFP friends. I will say you guys are EXTREMELY likeable. I have Ni as my second function so I love your intuitive nature. You guys have good ideas too and it’s very fun to go on these abstract mental adventures with you guys. I do have some constructive criticism to give, (assuming you’re an ENFP) so maybe you can work on this. As a dominant Te user, logic is my way of life (same with INTJs btw). My problem with the ENFP is it’s not possible to reason with logic. You guys just don’t respond to it no matter how hard I try to break it down. You guys will just do whatever the hell you feel like doing, and then you find yourself at 35 years old and still having done nothing with your lives (sorry if that’s a rude wake up call). The problem is you don’t listen to peoples advice no matter how much sense it makes. You’re more concerned with having fun and socializing that you avoid taking on any responsibility or boring tasks that bring you closer to your goals. Fortunately you’re very likable so you can pretty much just get other people to help you with the hard stuff, but how far can you really go if you never feel like taking on the workload? Of course it’s uncomfortable working on the process and I understand that being a low Se user definitely doesn’t make it easier for you, but you NEED to focus and work on that. Your functions are like a muscle and they will become stronger the more you use them. There’s much more to life then just shooting the shit with your friends and wasting all your time accomplishing nothing. Pick out a ONE goal, and work on it RELENTLESSLY. I know you guys have a new goal every week but really try to pick the most important one (buying a house, building a business, finishing school, learning a language, starting a TH-cam channel, etc). Quit chasing after fun all the time and go accomplish at least one thing and I promise you will feel so proud of yourself. You can start with working 10 minutes a day on your goal and slowly work your way up. The key is to be CONSISTENT and to do it every. Single. Day. With no excuses like oh I’m hungover, or oh I have to go to a party soon, or oh I actually my dog needs a bath. Just focus on your goal, and work until you’ve reached it. Quit fucking around.
As an enfp I agree with you. I struggle with focus and I'm very aware of what I need to do but doing it is hard.
I think you have completely missed the point of being an ENFP.
Couldn’t agree more, everything oh said was spot on and I noticed every single ENTJ I’ve encountered likes me so much I guess now I know why 😂 - ENFP
There’s definitely deeper reasons for what caused them not to listen to your advice, it probably wasn’t right for their introverted feeling but they were too nice to say the real reason straightforward because people think not listening to their advice is like insulting or disrespectful.
Can I ask what you define as logic? Because it's actually very interesting topic of discussion... Do you feel that additional perspective and abstract correlation isn't refining our logic? I think you would be very surprised how logical our minds are actually! Closing your mind to a couple paths and limiting your perspective to conform doesn't make you more logical.... It's more like we don't accept anything as absolute. We don't explore possibilities for unlogical and fun. Like people tend to think. We are correlators and branching outside of the normal is actually to find a deeper understanding! I think if you spent a little more time reflecting on your own logic you may realize logical is like normal and what's normal? Is it everything your fed or what you choose to eat?
I am definitely intrigued to continue listening to your content because of your straightforward approach to highlighting where type personalities can get hung up. Some very useful information regarding how ENFP need to develop discipline, work hard and focus on one thing at a time and complete it. I do disagree with the fact that ENFP are talentless. Every type has talent, but I took it to mean, quit assuming that ENFP are going to get by on that alone, because we are not - we have to work for what we want. I also think ENFP, because they can get into people's psyche very easily, can be very good at typing others. I am NOT into the advice of shaming an ENFP in public - that actually is horrible advice and boarders on abusive. This actually is very damaging to ENFP (or anyone) as we do tend to get bullied and not because people are "calling us out", but because they see our charity as weak. It works just as well if someone (we trust) provides the feedback in private. I sense you have not met many mature ENFP.
I was regularly shamed as a child/young-adult..
So I AM a successful ENFP. thank you. ...
some people have reacted to me strangely thruout my life ~ this was when I was learning about depravity .. . I was raised with depravity, so..... But I ended up surrounded by a whole bunch of Southern Baptists/Born-again at a Christian elementary skool . ..they guided me towards a different way: CHARITY !!! 😀☺💕💕💜
As an enfp, i really come to conclusions about my weaknesses from my life experiences witch was the same that you had mentioned in this lecture! great job so Thank you 🌼
{ Peace be upon prophet Mohammed}
This was the most valuable lecture for me so far. Finally my future seems clear (and certain ;) ). Thanks!
Si inferior is such a pain in the ass. You're right though, that gratitude is the means to smooth cognitive transition into the istj subconscious.
...and the Se demon is so tempting. Too bad there's no easy way to access it without killing everyone.
Thank you for this video. I particularly like your description of what a ‘blessing’ is, as being more than you give, very humbling. I embarrassed to admit I hadn’t thought of it this way before. I’m going to explain this point to my kids.
The shaming thing, i dont know. With adults maybe, but kids? Especially with how bullying affects self esteem. Look how celebrities handle it, terribly. They go crazy and start living the things they are called, like Britney Spears or Amanda Bynes.
dont enable people :)
@@CSJoseph Their are ways to stop enabling someone without having to shame them. Could just give them consequences for their actions.
Also, as an ENFP I do charity work, but sometimes I wonder whether I do it because I'm good or people will think I'm good, I don't openly brag about it, or put it on social media but again..is that because I'm aware of how that makes me look. Then I come to the conclusion that the end result is good regardless, I help people and it makes me feel good so it's a win win!
I’m an enfp and I move super fast and trigger my enfj control focused father all the time
Hey C. S Joseph, I’ve never met you in real life, but if I did I would hug you - you alone put a lot of my life into perspective and your knowledge is incredibly impressive. I seek to be charitable and super focused, in pursuit of being focused I take nootropics, exercise and eat a vegan diet to fine tune my machine so that I can be fuelled with only good things so that I have no excuses for lacklustre performance. Thank you! ❤️
I am absolutely nothing like what you are describing here, and I'm a hard-core ENFP... Maybe I'm one of the good ones, but all these negatives that you're describing, although they do apply in a sense, the level of negativity that you're infering is pretty astonishing.
To your credit, you are ridiculously intelligent and far more informed on this subject. I will say, ive never another ENFP that is as nefarious as you describe.
Loving to love others is at the core of who we are. A lot of what your describing is a complete contradiction to that very principle. I'd love your thoughts...
Been waiting for this one!
It is 2:50 AM here and I watch this now.
love this! I'm an ENFP and have learned so much from your vids. :) also love the wand!
The podcast on ENFP personal growth, season 19, was the most inspiring thing I've read/listened to as an ENFP since I discovered typology. Thank you for it. I apologize for thinking you bore some personal grudge toward the type.
AMAZING! Oh God...Thank you 👍🏻 I'm so lucky to have found this channel.
As an enfp I'm excellent at typing people. I typically type them visually and am spot on. Watch Eric type them and I already have them figured out from the first few mins.
Let me get this straight ... 🤔 If I focus on putting in hard work, developing discipline + healthy habits ... I can become successful, learn to love my reality, be respected + become charitable .... No way!!! Eyes = opened
WOW! Thank you for making THIS video of ENFP. When I originally saw your ENFP video in season 3 I was really disappointed in how negative you viewed us. Today this video of yours was posted in my ENFP facebook group and at first I wasn't gonna watch it, but I am so glad I did. This video not only covered both positives and negatives evenly, it also gave much better examples! Bravo!
I want to say thank you Joseph and tell you something about the Islamic regime.
As Muslims, we believe that Islam is a system of life and it is a revelation from God and not from the invention of the Prophet Muhammad, and it is a system for all people from God “the Creator” in order to live happily in this life. As for Muhammad, he is a human being and a messenger, so that people can learn from him practically and be an example and a leader for them (it is the practical application of the theory).
Aisha when she got married was a very young woman (but she is called a child at this time). So this is not a shame at all.
haha, as soon as i open the video. "Chase did NOT write that on the blackboard". Looks wayy too good XD
I am getting a lot out of this series. I recently participated in a discussion and was on the side of criticism towards your content. However, I had not watched your videos in the past couple years. I am learning valuable information and I understand that the “harshness” some people dislike is done from a place of love.
I now receive your content as enlightening and feel you true to your mission and purpose. And seeing the progression in content gives clarity that you are someone doing real work on yourself. If I ever participate in any other discussions about you, I will speak with my updated opinion.
I know it's good before I watch it. Like when going to a restaurant you love and ordering something you haven't tried because you know no matter what it's gonna be the bomb. And I don't mean to offend anyone who has been a victim of bombing.
I like your deep understanding of the ENFP personality. It's not about talent. I've been always considered as talented in various fields, but struggled with hard work. Thank you for this video.
PS i love your "you're talentless, it's time for hard work" attitude;) it works for me;)
Imagine having talent

I am an ENFP and I type people accurately 80% of the time.
The new studio is so dope ✌👍
Love that one, chase..Thank you
It's very informative and in the same time my heart got melted 💖!!
Thank you for this! I'm gonna be a good ENFP from now on! I'm a nice pharmacist and not a snake oil salesman... The microbiome is responsible for aging. We're gonna stop that! Good talk!
I am glad that my morals are super high so I can't even bring myself to harm others or trick them as n ENFP 😅😅
P.S : Omg I am actually muslim !
Same. My faith, Islam, means I don't harm others.
Speaking of "Afraid of the Unknown"
A favorite quote: "Do it or Not do it, You'll regret both." - Kierkegaard
The best of all is certainly never born at all.
This is very in-depth and helpful for understanding myself as an ENFP. I can understand your points about how we can fall into depravity. I think everyone can-we are all very selfish.
Also, I don’t understand how you can speak on such detailed, technical topics for an hour straight hahah. I would need an agenda to go through all that information
Hahah my brother is ENTP, and you sound kind of like him in the way you make your point 😂 thanks for stating it clear
You sound kind of mad at the end. But amazing points. Thank you so much. I am a hard worker and learn stuff very quickly.
6:24 There is absolute truth, anything can be true, and it’s all about what you believe. What is real? That might be the missing piece for you. Truth is subjective. Thanks for all your videos, I’ve been watching you for a while now and you’ve helped me so much. So thank you!
So me being able to figure out what's true or not is my Blindspot. I feel like I don't care about truth. No one cares about truth when things need to get done and "untrue" strategies work anyways. Also people don't care about truth if it hurts their feelings.
ENFPs are intensely aware of our own values and would find it felt very bad to work as a snake oil salesperson. Yes we could sell it, but it would make us feel extremely bad and inauthentic to do so.
Wow, Chase thinks about Se, I'm impressed ☺️☺️☺️
I ve been called so much in this video 😂😂
Thank you so much for doing this Chase !
As an ISTJ (ENFP focused) I worked out that some people (Ti users) try to embarrass people into doing the opposite of what they say, so then i do DO directly what they say to me (to trick them back), for example if a Ti user says to me "you're too lazy to achieve that" i actually be lazy and be like "yes, you're right about that i will just chill out then (whilst thinking...why dont you just tell me what you think i should do?)", but now i am an adult i think i should act like ti users are actually tricking me into doing something, so in future when Ti users give me the "you're to lazy to achieve that" i will still think what i previously thought, but i will stop being lazy because i know that's more along the lines of what they mean, I've also noticed Ti users don't like being micro managed, so maybe they like being challenged like that, so i will just go along with their embarrassment thing and let them think im falling for that trick, even though that trick hasn't worked on me since I was in 2nd grade. Thanks for helping me develop this perspective Chase!
The end really resonated with me so much. I am talentless but do benefit the most from hard work. I was working really hard in my economics class early in the year, so much so that my teacher called me a genius. Then I let it get to my head and just think the stuff came naturally to me. My grades subsequently dropped. I just can't seem to trust in that Si inferior and adopt good habits. I hate to suck at something and have to work hard to get better, but, when I do get everything going great, I don't seem to value that enough to keep it going. I hate reality when I am losing and love it when I am winning, but I just have to accept it for what it is. And I do worry excessively about my future too; I can't even pick a major because I think it limits all the other possibilities. I'm starting to buy into this MBTI stuff, even though it's something I still don't understand.
ENFP here.
THANK YOU so much for this video ❤
I have no clue why this one of the most underrated seasons, but it is. Time for replay 112.
Oh my God you're so right I read/watch/consume/engage in so much and I remember times which I was reading something usefull like when I was learning music and growing my knowledge on it but on the contrary I have spent so much time learning stuff that I don't know I'll even use or not. You name it I've engaged in it in some shape or form and this mbti stuff was just another one of em random ass engagements of mine which somehow is paying off which is kind of funny cuz my whole plan was if I extend my self wide enough and take a shovel to every land I have to strike gold some day and yh these are one of those days. Focused and meaningful engagement from now on at least half the time. I can consume some porn and jokes and cartoons yet I'm not a robot but not most of the time God you are so right. I remember sometime I was just into health and business and self care and social stuff and money and... I was shining. Literally. People told me bro your skin your face is shining what the fuck are you doing to look this way. So there goes about the subconscious I have to go back to be focused with my engagement.
I have the 3 out of the way I just need some explanation on the unconcious infj/ni
The ‘No Talent’ bit really made me think. Ever since I was a kiddo, I’ve plateaued at every skill I pursued. Dance, violin, cheerleading, hair braiding, tech. I just hit a ceiling at some point. Switched my major a good 3 times and am not using my degree.
thank you so much for your content. Ive drawn from it for nearly 2 years now. its amazing how accurate this stuff is. ppl tell me mbti and such isnt very applicable then i find their type and watch them do exactly what you say. psychology has endless application. i DEFINATELY needed to spend A LOT of time alone and distance myself from family. life has new colors when you're pursueing meaningfulness.
Your friend being banned from selling made me laugh and I'm an enfp
Thanks for the hearty speech you absolute chad
I’m an intj and I had an enfp ex. They definitely move faster.
ENFP’s like any other type go through phases from what I’ve noticed in people we switch at major biological changes in the brain after neuronal pruning 7-11 after hormonal maturity 17-21 after the pre frontal cortex develops fully 25-30 the ENFP has these phases: INFP’s ENFJ’s ESFP’s or ENTP’s. But they often will say I feel like an INFP because they are the least extroverted of the extroverts in terms of total time to recharge that’s because they burn themselves out with their parental Fi. But watch carefully these subtypes are very real. I’ve analyzed many people and we all have them they’re very reliable for explaining the variance across different narratives of people of the same type
Microphone around 25:00 doesn’t seem to do very well with louder emphasis and volume FYI.
Self identified ENFP: Being continuously publically shamed by my teachers in middle school destroyed my childhood and left me with deep mental scars which inhibit many parts of my life to this day.
These people were not helping anyone least of all me.
They were bullies motivated by factors beyond my control.
It feels like the subject of shame as a tool for social engineering requires more caveats than you've supplied here given its potential for abuse.
Enjoy your content, my two cents.
You’re very right when you said we are very money centric because that’s absolutely true lol at least for me. I’m currently running 4 different businesses, it’s exhausting but I just can’t stop.
I think INTJs fastest because because of Si demon, even ENTJs get impatient
Nah more like NTJs are good at things, which i find is more of a hindrance than anything, because the moment i cant get something quickly, i get very annoyed
I felt self-destructive, and blamed my own "murdering" of my ENFP ego self on my INFJ wife, ISFJ mom and ESFJ best friend. Did my ESTP superego caused me to end up being misjudged as ISFP in your element/weapon test? Reminds me of back then 5 years ago, my friends initially thought I was ENTJ when I was trying to compensate.
From whiteboard to blackboard
I want to know more about intp transitions because i feel like do not know enougth about intp's. Love the quality content you are producing :D great to See that these sessions are Turner into a full fledged thing now with the new black board :D
The more ENFP videos of CS Joseph I watch, the more it seems like he does not understand the type at all.
He is extremely biased against them!
I think ENFP believers they are great people and they intend to be kind. However, their actions translate a little differently. It’s okay to consider the truth and then modify it to your specific circumstances. You can be kind, but have selfish tendencies... That has been a reoccurring experience with many people who have come across ENFPs.
It’s lectures like these to help the ENFP maintain the balance between their kindness and their self-serving tendencies.
Everybody has self-serving tendencies, but ENFPs truly believe their benign intentions override their selfish streak.
Visuals great, audio not so good, fuzzy sounding.
I understand you pushing towards hard work and charity as I've seen happy and productive ENFPs do exactly that and have it work for them. A good example of such an ENFP would be Ashley from Bestdressed on TH-cam, and Micarah Tewers.
However the public shaming just rubs me the wrong way. I know that is what you've observed to work in reality, but coming from the view of a person with a bunch of mental health issues from parents shaming me- it has done nothing to improve my self efficacy, in fact it did the opposite.
I would type myself as an INFP though, so perhaps that isn't the way for my type, but I would consider this applicable as the virtues and vice are all shared by the same quadra.
Perhaps there is some way of making consequences happen faster for ENFP's? That way they will learn quicker.
Agreed on needing the multiple viewpoints...
You mentioned that depression and anxiety/trauma can impact on your typing, would you be able to do a video on that at some point?
Thankyou for creating all this content. I look forward to watching what you come up with next.
Comparing to mental health issues seems farfetched.
Shame can be a dangerous emotion. I understand it can be helpful if it is kept to one very specific issue, and probably bolstered by positivity too 'you are a great person with the potential to do great things but you arent going to if you dont get up off your ass' yeah i can see that working. Just gotta be careful it's not said, or construed as 'youre a terrible worthless person' because if kids internalise these kind of thoughts it can really mess them up and yes lead to mental health issues. Loving kindness alongside pushing someone to be the best person they can be and calling them out on their flaws whike pointing out how good they can get though, is different and i think that's the type of 'public shaming' you mean. Cos i think that's what you do in your videos. You point out the potential in each type as long as they stop doing a or b etc. Which is awesome!
I wouldn't say public shaming is healthy- it can damage a reputation as people cannot unsee what they have seen, which the enfp is aware of. I think I could actually be very discouraging and personally would cause me to spiral. Give them something to strive for or publicly praise them for their achievements.
Just because something 'works' doesn't make it healthy.
Yeah it’s healthy
Thank you for all the knowledge you’re spreading!
I’m confused about something, I’m still not sure what type I am, I’m not even sure about my extravert/introvert nature anymore..! 😆 😅 all the tests type me as INFP, yours is balancing between INFP and INTP and based on what I’m learning from your video about the functions, I’m starting to wonder if I’m not an ENFP…!
And where I lose all certainty is around the WHY I do things more than the what or how…
For instance here, you’re saying ENFPs are all about the process rather than the outcome and they try and try and try and enjoy the journey more than the goal. Which is 100% the story of my life. BUT the reason WHY I’m trying (and study DEEPLY every attempt…) is because I enjoy more having satisfaction right away and getting to to the right outcome the first time around… this is the plan… just that in order to reach my goal I need to step outside roll up my sleeves and try one of the many options I studied… but picking one is a pain for me, I’d like to try them all simultaneously (maybe one day with quantum physics we’ll get to travel through parallel dimensions 🤞🏻 haha) but NATURALLY I don’t really enjoy paddling in the dark… what I want in the first place is to reach the outcome I wanted…
But as a result my life looks like a chain of attempts after attempts after attempts so it may look like ENFP who enjoys the process, but I think it’s more an INFP struggling..!! 😅
I interesting. I think you just articulated exactly what I was feeling. I'm on similar journey... For too long now it's frustrating. I started out enfp, istp isfp infp isfp now finally I'm enfp.
@@natashacovich477 omg balancing with INTP too!! Haha I think we should be the same type in the end, we should meet up!! Haha
Yeah I eventually ended up as an extrovert because I do need a lot of time alone and I enjoy it very much (the lock down in my tiny parisian apartment was surprisingly (even for myself!) the best time of my life!) but when I think about it and the reasons why I enjoy solitude that much is because its the way I feel connected with people. Like I can think quietly About how I could be of service and during the lock down I was posting a lot on instagram, to help people meditate and I started a blog to help people with addictions etc. So my solitude is not necessarily tinted with egocentrism but rather a twisted way to connect with my human fellows..!
Which I love! I love studying people, watching them live, I think people are fascinating… (which is also a trait that makes hard for me to choose ONE partner because I’d want to share a lifetime with all of them..! Haha) 😅
I'd like to say that the prophet Muhammad being an ENFP is very debatable , about him marrying Aisha you can clearly see that back then until like 4-5 generations ago it was actually very common to see that kind of thing espically in our society , hell my grandmother got married at the age of 14 , and some people still do that to this very day ,very rare but still there , it's up to the bride and the circumstances of the situation I guess , so no it is not a depravity thing it was very normal back then , and I can say by reading the Quran and the prophetic biography that he was an introvert for example there's a verses in the Quran where Allah had to tell his friends and the people in general to stop coming to his house and staying there to chat for a long periods of time because it was very upsetting to the prophet who wouldn't say anything because he was shy to do that, and every Muslim knows that the prophet liked solitary he would go to this cave called "Hira" everyday away from people to think on his own and admire the beauty of the universe which lead him to the conclusion that this universe couldn't be made by those "gods" who are made of nothing but rock and by the hands of people , even though everyone he knew believed otherwise back then sounds very Ti to me . I agree with you on him being and idealist he was very people focused indeed and very abstract might I add, but he was not informative nor initiating at all I mean he was the one who said "he who believes in Allah and the last day, let him speak good or remain silent.", that alone with so many other stories shows how direct he was , but I'd like to hear more about why you think he's an ENFP and for you to consider the information I gave you on that 🤔
Sure it’s debatable but there is more evidence for ENFP than any other type. The more you know this science, the more you will see.
C.S. Joseph I’m not saying I know the science better I’m saying I know the prophet better and I’m only hoping that you’ll read more about him before typing him 🤷🏻♀️
I read lots of books but whenever I want to recall something I remeber only the big picture and cant go into details which makes me look like an idiot in front of my friends
any advice?
My type finally ! ❤
Nice sweater looks comfy
As an ENFP, this is spot on. I watched you type Jeffree Star as an ENFP and almost everything you've said here applies to him. He is a good makeup artist but the success of his company is definitely because of his image and youtube presence rather than pure talent. Moneycentric- he just bought multi-million mansion and has vault filled with birkins. Tattoos- yep, covered in them head to toe. He's a fantastic example of a successful, hardworking ENFP and I personally look up to him xD Thanks for the videos, great work as always!
I've gone a long way since I first watched this. Now I understand better what he said.
On the ENFP VS INTJ thing : I believe enfp's start really fast but slow down until they finish(if they do😅) and, well, if an INTJ actually starts something it would be the other way around.
I think that they are compensating the start with the finish so they're both the fastest.
But ENFPs get the credit because they start fast and it is more likely that someone will look AT HOW FAST a person is going AT THE START because they want to predict how that person will work, whereas NOT MANY look at how fast a person works at the END of a project.
INTJ - exponential growth
ENFP - steep linear growth
@@st3llarmemer111 yeah something like this
I would say Se trickster has a worse reaction time than Se demon. As an INTP I could never have the reaction time of Connor Macgregor.
Pro active come across as reactive
You seemed very soft and isfj lecture. I say that as a fellow entp, thinking about what it sounds like when I feel soft.
Well this is interesting. I suck at typing others, and myself, and I lean towards ENFP, so this makes sense too. I'm excited for this lecture.
10:45 "INTJ vs ENFP, who's faster?" maybe ENFP is faster in the beginning while INTJ is faster towards the end. Being INTJ myself, I notice that I need lots of time in the beginning to understand how things work (during which I'm slow in actually making work progress). When it finally clicks, I know the perfect optimal way to achieve maximal performance, and then nobody will outperform me.
Faster on what..
Great video! Learned a lot 🙏
I am a sexual 7 myself, I was wondering if you correlate enneagram and mbti together?
In the sense of a self pres 7 is all about getting a good deal, getting away with it. More gluttonous in the sense of the world.
I really see this in an ENFP being a charlatan and depraved.
Myself, I’m more interested in the higher aspect of gluttony. Earth stuff doesn’t botter me, inferior Si is see as the epitome of boredom, yet I learned so much from Si people . The sexual is much more about the gluttony of love, and less getting a good deal.
Like things like buying a hand sanitizer wouldn’t interest me, but manipulating people to escape guilt, get a love out of people, tell a story and “at more details” just for my own narcism would definitely be the case.
I am more depraved in the sense of getting attention, and use people for my own private joke. So my depravtiy comes from different interest, but in the end same thing.
I have a feeling a lot people think there are type 4 ENFP. But I don’t see this is possible in the sense of Ne is constantly active, endless ideas and mind connections. This does seem possible in type 4. They deal with their own worth and put off a image of “feeling special” yet have a constant inner lack themself. This correlates more with Fi.
Defense mechanism is introjection, they suck negative emotions in, in order to get even worse negative emotions out.
The depravity from the seven is rationalization.
They rationalize every little emotion, action in their own mind just not te feel blamed.
Ne is literally designed for escaping reality, boredom and pain. Fi is designed for a inner landscape, all about being authentic.
Ne is a fluid function, correlates a lot with a fluid mind and have no inner morale compass.
Long answer, with no conclusive text sounds like me.
Ohhh, my dad is an ENTP who brought up two ENFP girls. He was our hero when we were young but then the teen years hit... yeah you're in for a world of pain, lol. We fought, we tested, we bucked and acted out. We even reduced him to tears a couple of times. I remember getting called out many times for being selfish and manipulative and all it did, really, was help refine the process lol. I could literally get away with framing someone for murder now. Fortunately, however, he also he helped instil in me a keen set of morals and a firm sense of right and wrong. Those morals would kick my but so hard if I decided to use my gift for evil... well... too much evil.
You could not be more wrong about ENFP's treating truth as subjective!! I am VERY objective when it comes to facts. I wish you had given an example so I could follow up with a more accurate response.
Other than that your video was amazing!
Sorry serious question.
How do you know if you shouldn't just keep on going the same direction while reading the functions for parts of the mind
For example enfp
Ne Fi : ENFP ego
Te Si : ESTJ subconscious
Ni Fe : INFJ unconcious
Ti Se : ISTP super ego
why is this not right?
I have one guess which wouldn't totally answer it but maybe Te Si is the Child persona and Ti Se is the trickster persona. (But you can ignore this part of the message since it is something that I have near to zero clue about
Hey C.S. I have been typed by OPS as an ENFP Ne/Te jumper. There are so many things that ring true based on your analysis. The thing I find different is I really care about what's actually true. However, I do understand that our society as a whole has determined truth to be subjective which is self-refuting because that is literally the opposite of truth. Te wants consistency on the spectrum of truth. The most "Accurate truth" should "rise to the top." Well that doesn't seem to be true either. In the context of truth I hate being a jumper ENFP. I wish I had Ti so I didn't think of the spectrum of truth so highly. Or that I was Ni/Te so I didn't have to look at the spectrum of ideas so far out. I probably just need to develop my Fi but Fi is so selfish and I struggle to do it. I feel like I become very self centered when I lean into my Fi too much.
Anyone with high Fi wouldn't sell a necessary item.
Great video ! I have personally been bitten by the Selfish depraved nature of ENFPs umpteen times. Just a curious idea: Is the philosopher quadra super affiliative and rule creating/abiding in order to avoid their Fi depravity? "We are all selfish and depraved, however we don't have a sense of reality or what we individually want, so let's create rules and systems where everyone has to depend on each other"
Wow, loving the visuals!
I've needed to hear this talk my whole life.
Ok.... THERE YOU GO! THAT WOULD BE ME! 😊 Took till 40mins but you NAILED IT!
