Type me, please!

[wonkavision]

I really made this video for a Pod'Lair reading, but.....

Based on this video, what do you think my MBTI type is?

Thanks!

Holy shit they make you pay for readings? Fuck that.

 

[own8ge]

INFJ. You're welcome

 

[wonkavision]

INFJ. You're welcome

Thanks.

yeah, INFJ is one of the most likely types for me, but I'm not sure.

Is there anything in particular about me that stands out as INFJ?

 

[PhoenixRising]

SeTi (ESTP)

You do seem to have Se/Ni, but Se seems to be above Ni in your functional stack. You have warm articulation with emotional pushes, as well as several times when your momentum halts and you appear to do some introspective type of thinking. This indicates Fe/Ti, but Fe does seem to be above Ti.

SeTi (ESTP)

You do seem to have Se/Ni, but Se seems to be above Ni in your functional stack. You have warm articulation with emotional pushes, as well as several times when your momentum halts and you appear to do some introspective type of thinking. This indicates Fe/Ti, but Fe does seem to be above Ti.

Thanks for your response.

I'm confused, though. Are you suggesting that I might be ESTP?

I don't think that's very likely. But, in any case, it's interesting that you spotted Se, Ni, Fe, and Ti.

Would you say that INFJ is pretty likely then?

 

[wonkavision]

You do seem to have Se/Ni, but Se seems to be above Ni in your functional stack.

Interesting.

But maybe it's because I extravert Sensing and introvert Intuition that the Sensing stands out more than the Intuition.

Makes sense, right?

 

[ILYGodney]

Are you currently going through something? You seem like an INFJ with strong Ti and Se.

 

[own8ge]

Ignore all these bastards, you are not an ESTP... You are an INFJ.

 

[wonkavision]

Thanks for your input.

Well, I do have issues with depression and anxiety. That probably plays a significant role.
In fact, I had a pretty intense personality crisis a while back, but I'm starting to sort things out. I didnt want to bias people's opinions too much in this thread, but yeah--I do think I'm probably INFJ.

For most of my life, I've been a pretty obvious Intuitive and Feeling-oriented person, but maybe I've become more grounded and logical in recent years.
I'm 37 years old and it may be that I'm developing Tertiary and Inferior functions.

 

[wonkavision]

Ignore all these bastards, you are not an ESTP... You are an INFJ.

Well yeah.

I mean, there's no way I'm ESTP. I was being diplomatic when I said, "I don't think that's very likely."

 

[own8ge]

You are developing Ne in becoming 'more active/conscious'. In the INFJ, Ne get's activated whenever NiFeTiSe (in that order) is to pressured to handle something (within the time-frame).

Or of course, if you are focused on Ni, Ne can be active simultaneously to intuitively do things while you are in a Ni state/drift (i.e. You were doing something and you come back to consciousness and you have no idea at all what you have been doing or for how long you have been doing this). (You can actually train this by allowing yourself to do things unconsciously.)

In the INFJ Male, Ti and Se are likely to have been developed rather early (Due to environmental pressure).

I'm absolutely sure you're an INFJ. I myself am an INFJ as well.
For instance: In the video, you can see that in the beginning your mind is digressing. Then you put effort to come out into the environment to get an objective foccus. This is indicative to the INFJ as the INFJ has a bridge (which is greater than any other type) from being subjective/internal and being objective/external.

thanks. yeah, that makes sense.

I'm hoping one of these Pod'Lair people will give me a reading. I like that they are at least attempting to use some objective evidence.

I'm very new to it, but if I understand their system correctly, I should be a Nai'Xyy.

 

[Paladin-X]

Well yeah.

That's ok wonka, I went onto personality cafe and they told me I was an ESTP too. :S

You should get their attention first, by commenting on one of their videos, otherwise you probably won't get read.

You really got me thinking about this.

It may have to do with my motives for making the video, and my feelings about Pod'Lair itself, and about some of the Pod'Lair practitioners whose videos I watched.

When I made the video, I was in somewhat of a "battle stance," because I observed that the Pod'Lair practitioners (in particular, Adymus and the guy who looks like Rasputin the Evil Monk, can't remember his name) seemed to be very secure in their positions, somewhat pushy, and in the case of Adymus especially, almost obnoxious and arrogant in their approach. (mind you, that's not at all an attempt to assess their actual character/mental state--it's just how they "feel" to me).
I wanted to communicate my sincere interest and curiosity about Pod'Lair, but at the same time communicate that I'm not one to be bullied or taken advantage of--and certainly not ripped off! (35 dollars for a reading--lol).

It's like I'm trying to convince myself as much as I'm trying to convince the other party.

I often do this out of necessity, because the reality is that I can be somewhat of a pushover at times. And I can get especially sucked into things that appeal to my interest in the weird and obscure, the mystical, and really "out-there" theories of psychology (such as Pod'Lair).

In a way, I put up a front, but like I said, it just seems like the smart and necessary (logical?) thing to do.
It's sort of a survival skill, but not necessarily the "real me," so to speak.
Maybe that accounts for the use of Se/Ti. But I'm certainly not an ESTP.

All in all, I'm still impressed by the way you spotted those functions in my video, and it seems to lend creedence to what I already *mostly* "know---that I'm probably INFJ.

I'm kind of ruining the experiment by divulging so much. but oh well.

i still look forward to any input people might have.

 

[own8ge]

Stop the nonsense. You are an INFJ!

Clarifying your perspective is to FYI the relevant unknown. This means Ni dominance as Ni is the concept of the unknown (And the psyche is there to be a slave to the dominant function). The clarification is Fe-Ti, you want to inform other PEOPLE (Fe) of your judgment. Fe>Ti because you are not just saying it for other people, you actually 'feel like' sharing it.

Everything you will post in this thread from now on, I will explain to you why that post makes you an INFJ.

(Why does no1 ever trust my judgment... Ughh...)

I trust you. Lol.
Im pretty sure im INFJ.

By the way, I just made this video which shows more of my playful side.
I hope the Pod'Lair peeps can take a joke.

[Hadoblado]

I laughed pretty hard when you got INFJ, then ESTP immediately after. I know they have the same functions and all, but it still makes me giggle.

I know next to nothing about typing, but I wouldn't disregard PR's response. It looks to me as if you are going with Own8ge's interpretation as you seem to want to be an INFJ. ESTP's aren't exactly common, but INFJ's are the rarest type (I think this goes double if you happen to be a man). PR happens to be someone that seems to know what they're talking about (I'm not saying Own8ge doesn't!). I would get a second or third opinion before concluding your type.

Well, the idea that I might be an ESTP seems absurd.

I'm an awkward, wimpy, sensitive, goofy, neurotic, unimpressive guy who thinks too much.

Then again, I've seen Woody Allen typed as ISTP, so theres some microscopic chance I could be ISTP.

 

[PhoenixRising]

I'm sure you know yourself a lot better than I do, and so you may have good reason to think you have Ni over Se.. that said, you don't seem like an INFJ to me. You seem like an explorer lead, that is Se, not a worldview lead, Ni. The way your eyes seem to lead your head movement is a trademark of having your explorer function as your dominant function. The degree of momentum you have in your articulation, and specific way you hold your eyes are also usually indicators of Se over Ni.

Although it is possible to express your functions in different percentages at different times, this doesn't change the fundamental way your psyche works. If you were an INFJ expressing more Se and Ti than usual, then that is what you would appear as. Just like me when I get into "Ne-mode" I appear as an INTP expressing a lot of Ne, not an Ne dominant.

It's like I'm trying to convince myself as much as I'm trying to convince the other party.

I often do this out of necessity, because the reality is that I can be somewhat of a pushover at times. And I can get especially sucked into things that appeal to my interest in the weird and obscure, the mystical, and really "out-there" theories of psychology (such as Pod'Lair).

In a way, I put up a front, but like I said, it just seems like the smart and necessary (logical?) thing to do.

From what I've seen, even when watching actors and actresses in staged videos, their intrinsic functions are still visible. It takes an extremely good actor to outwardly appear to change their psychology, and I'm sure it takes a lot of rehearsal and focus to stay in character.

I'm not sure what your take on introversion vs extroversion is, but I know a lot of people take it the wrong way. Extroverted functions are those that gather data from the environment (explorer Ne & Se) or outwardly articulate into the environment (articulation Fe & Te). Introverted functions are those that process retrieved information internally (Ni, Si, Ti, Fi). The notion that those with a dominant extroverted function are going to be more outgoing and those with a dominant introverted function are going to be more reserved is kind of a misnomer. There are a lot of Fi dominants out there (that is "introverts") who are very much people persons, there are actually quite a few actors and actresses that are Fi dominant. Ni dominants, especially those with Fe as secondary, can be very into human interaction and asserting themselves socially. The majority of Ti dominants, on the other hand, do seem to tend to keep to themselves. It's about the nature of the specific function and how it interacts with the rest of an individual's functional stack that determines how outgoing they are intrinsically. So don't let the MBTI code and various profile descriptions of "ESTP" deter you from considering it as your type. It's really about the thought process, not an arbitrary description.

 

[Auburn]

I agree with PhoenixRising's opinion that SeTi seems most probably based on the 1 minute video you uploaded. But there are a lot of factors that may need to be considered too.. like..

• 1 minute of footage isn't always enough to zero-in all the way to one type. I'd say you definitely do have those functions but the ordering may be several things depending on what is your default state. It's hard to assess that here since you were only in one state (presentation-mode). =p
• Mmm, you also seem a bit nervous to get the wording right? o.o It is almost as if you had run through what you wanted to say a few times, then started recording, but then you wanted to be done fast so you rushed the clip. This nervousness/rushing could be misread as Se momentum without more context to compare.

'INFJ' isn't entirely impossible (signal-wise they can very closely resemble SeTi, being perception-lead with Se/Ni as primary, and Ti/Fe as secondary).

 

[wonkavision]

Ok, here's a video I made about 5 years ago, when I THOUGHT I was an ENFP.

I wasnt TOTALLY sure what my type was then, and im even less sure now.

So....based on this video, what do you think my type is?

I tried to look at the video.. but there isn't anything there :/

 

[Lyra]

Soft read Nai'xyy (NiFe/INFJ correlate) from Pod'Lair team. Please provide more footage. Fyi PheonixRising/Auburn do not know what they are talking about. There is not a cat's chance in hell that you are an adaptive, and recognising adaptive/directive is one of the most basic/elementary components of a successful read.

Not intending an extended debate on INTPforum. But you were read a week ago and I stumbled across this thread, so here you are.

Oh crap. Sorry about that. Maybe I have to change the settings or something.

Thanks for trying though.

OK. Thanks for the soft read.

Wow. That's the thing that I struggle with the most: Am I directive or adaptive?
I think of myself as more adaptive, but I try to be more directive because it seems more "masculine", and because I have certain responsibilities (i.e. being a parent) that force me to be more directive.

I want some objective opinions, but usually the feedback I get from others is mixed.

I'm gonna have to make a longer video so people have more to work with.

Thanks!

 

[wonkavision]

Here's a longer (10 min) video I just made.

Type away!
