    Attempting to understand an INTP (feat. Eric Wen)

    Welcome back to the pod! Today we’re chatting with Eric Wen, who is an insightful INTP in the MBTI-YouTuber space. He also happens to be a good friend! As you’ll hear, Eric has a sophisticated knowledge of the 8 cognitive functions, as well as a nuanced approach to typing others. Check out Eric's work here: YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkMoreDeeply Website: https://learn.ericwen.com/foundations?utm_source=yt&utm_medium=vid&utm_campaign=kristin_podcast_2024 This episode was recorded 1.5 years ago, but I never posted it because I went into labour and have since been recovering from birth and early motherhood. It was an enjoyable listen-back for me, and I hope it will be likewise for you.   T I M E S T A M P S :  1:39 Tell us about your second channel, your website and why we should all visit you. 7:52 What is a common misconception about INTPs in the online MBTI space, and how would you like to correct that? 9:20 What does it mean to have inferior Fe, how does it play out in your life and what struggles do you have with it? 14:29 What personality types do you find most intriguing/to be the best fit for you? 17:23 How would you describe the INTP’s superpowers? 19:11 What are my (an ESFP’s) superpowers? 22:45 Do you believe that the shadow functions play any particular role? Should we even focus on them at all? 29:36 Debunk a bad take that you have frequently heard about MBTI? 31:06 I feel like I’ve never met an INTP, but I think I just have trouble recognising INTPs. Any tips? 32:28 Do you have siblings and what are their personality types? 34:34 How do you deal with feelings? 36:37 If I asked you, “how are you feeling right now?”, would you be able to answer? And how many emotions would you be able to identify? 40:16 How do we effectively translate cognitive functions into behaviours in order to type a person accurately? 41:41 I don’t know if I am an INTP or an INFP. What’s the difference between the two? 45:14 Can ENTJs and INTPs work well together? 46:46 As an ESFP, how can I connect emotionally with my INTP brother? 50:05 As an INTP, how do you stick to an idea and stay persistent and passionate about it? 51:44 What are some challenges that you face/think you have faced as an INTP? 53:44 What are some visible differences that you have noticed between the INTP and the INTJ? 55:48 How do you feel about Se? 58:13 How would you let your crush know that you’re interested in them? 1:02:02 How do you even know that you like someone romantically? How obvious is it? How long does it take for you to realise that you like them? 1:03:57 How do you know when you’re in love? How do you identify that as an INTP? (+ general discussion about love) 1:06:27 Did you initially mistype yourself? If so, which type and why? 1:08:31 Are any INTP stereotypes overblown? 1:11:37 Do you think that having an ESFJ father is a contributor to your social awareness? 1:12:50 Outside of MBTI, what personality system has been your favourite?   My links: Leave a comment on this video:  Main YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/dearkristin Instagram: @dear.kristin Theme music by Restless Mosaic.

    The burden of being an INFJ (feat. Joyce Meng)

    Joyce's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarmrOHgveKHsaV6QejAZVw Book a Typing Session with Joyce: https://www.joycemengcoaching.com/ ⌛ T I M E S T A M P S : 5:40 What motivates you to keep producing MBTI content? 11:42 What are the xNFJ values? 14:38 How would you describe yourself? 15:18 Why do INFJs seem to “hold back” their true selves in conversation? 16:24 What can INFJs learn from Fi users? 17:02 This is the best word to describe an INFJ. 19:19 How do you define yourself? Does that shape your identity? We discuss INFJ insight and foresight, which then leads into a conversation about how trauma shapes us. 30:23 How does an INFJ experience their Ni as opposed to an INTJ? 33:44 A distinction between Fi and Fe 34:59 Can you give us an example of using your Introverted Intuition (Ni) on a day-to-day basis? 38:58 Realising that people aren’t as deep as you think they are. 40:06 Were you ever confused as to whether you were an INFP or INFJ? If so, how did you realise you were an INFJ? 43:39 Is it insolence if I tell people what their MBTI type is even if they get bothered by it? 45:40 Do you think we can consciously develop our 5th to 8th functions? 52:46 Do very easy tasks stress you out? 53:17 What’s something you dislike admitting to be wrong about? 53:34 Which types do you tend to best get along with? 55:17 What don’t you understand about ESFPs? 58:40 What are some INFJ stereotypes that you relate to and are there some that you’ve never personally experienced? 1:01:34 Do you like being the unpaid therapist? 1:03:18 How do you deal with being overstimulated by sensory experiences? 1:05:01 Can an INFJ become like an ESTP? 1:07:50 Why do INFJs have a martyr complex? 1:08:28 What types are you the most attracted to romantically and why? 1:12:14 Why do INFJs have poor Se in terms of body/action, but good Se in terms of style? 1:14:48 Ni doms don’t seem to experience anxiety issues. Is there a reason? 1:16:14 What’s the easiest tell between an INFJ and an ISFJ? 1:19:12 Be honest, do you have a superiority complex? 1:20:54 What is something about MBTI that you think a lot of people gloss over? 1:23:39 Could you tell us a little bit about the book you’re writing? 1:25:33 What is one thing you’ve learned about yourself in writing this book? 1:26:34 What is your pitch for Enneagram? Is it worth looking into for people who haven’t? 1:30:15 If you could choose one thing to tell the MBTI community about INFJs, what would it be?
