I enjoy watching your videos and I enjoyed this one as well, however there is a question I have about one of your points. You mention that the difference between dominant and inferior functions is not the strength of the function. My only contention with that is the strength of a function is often tied to its usage. The more you practice driving, typically the better you get in relation to what you did in the past. So for example, a Te-Ne ESTJ is a type known for constantly putting out fires and fixing minor errors in the workings of a system or project. They will still form an appreciation for Fi of course, they will still occasionally exercise that function from time to time because they do have strong values. My contention here is, if an ESTJ spends 80% of his time fixing project mistakes (Te) and 20% fixing moral ones (Fi), and due to the disposition of his functions he absolutely has to (because fixing project errors is an itch he must always scratch), not only is he more likely to make Te based decisions more often in the future, that Te function necessarily becomes stronger over time in relation to the much less practiced Fi. I would be happy to exchange thoughts on this matter! If you think I am wrong, just let me know where you think my thinking has gone wrong

@@ethanlynch8275 Soooo what you're referring to her is actually CPT attitudes! Essentially when an ESTJ is TeNeing they're simultaneously using FiSi divergently, as TeNe+ is on an axis with FiSi-. The 20% of the time you're referring to here would actually be a neat way of describing how much time they'll be shifting attitudes to be using FiSi convergently instead of divergently. This is what CPT means by functions being non hierarchical - it's not that ESTJs are using FiSi in the same way as INFPs, but rather that Fi in their position is just different (observed rather than interacted with). Definitely check out the videos on convergence Vs divergence for more information!

I like that you're incorporating more of an almost psycho-analytic approach with type. That type is not something we are necessarily, but a collection of triggers, identifications, etc. That's been my struggle with type for a long time, and I really think the developmental side of type needs to be pushed more than the categorizational side. After all, humans aren't types but processess. That being said..I think my default type is ENFJ. I've struggled for a long time between the whole TiNi/NiTi thing and in the end the ENFJ cognition seems to be way more accurate. I am overwhelmed by finding and implementing my purpose-the reason I'm here on this planet at this time. I have a strong ability to put aside my ego for the sake of this "greater good." A heavy dose of willpower to aid me as well. I can see how I've been a heavily divergent subtype where thinking wasn't so much an active construction of logic, but a stockpiling of information. I read non-fiction books voraciously to keep up with solid information, all so I can help myself and other people. My Ni is much more the bulldozer than the muse, and uncertainty has been what's held me back the most. When I was younger (and still now but to a much lesser extent since my Se is way more developed) I would anxiously look for and rely on synchronicities to inform me on the 'correct' path I should take. I gravitated towards tarot and other esoteric methods (like astrology) to do so. I can really see that being a TiNi- thing. Now that Se is much stronger (as I've been overly focused on embodiment and healing dissociation) I'm finding Fe was never really the problem. It's really easy to use convergently, and I have a natural propensity for it. That all being said, I think the issue is that people are looking for (possibly on a subconscious level even) something much deeper than CPT can give. It's a cognitive type. It's all in the brain. Most people trying to understand themselves through type are on that "search for wholeness," that holy grail that will heal them of their psychic maladies. Ironically perhaps but the key to that lies in grounding into the body and getting out of the head, the cerebral theories only serve to take one further away from this point of integration and perpetuate a supression of deep, true feeling and embodiment. Although, cpt is still very useful in that regard. Type is by nature non-personal, like archetypes. It gives us something to identify with so we can examine our "false self" from a heightend vantage point. But then we need another level to do that with so we don't get stuck in an endless self-typing spiral. This is where I believe levels of consciousness could come into play and greatly aid that process. Type development is a personal, or horizontal development. We also need a transpersonal or vertical axis to really grow as individuals and transcend type and our limitations. The soul isn't found in the brain..but like in many Buddhist techniques, we can use the functions of the mind to transcend the mind. And I think that's the direction someone should take type to really get the most of it. Great video man!

It’s taken me a while to work up to understanding your channel, but now I find it opens a whole new field of depth. All the types seem so much more expansive and nuanced than I thought, which has renewed my interest. I especially appreciate how you describe them in new ways that destroy stereotypes and challenge biases in ways that nonetheless ring true. People are all beautifully complex, aren’t they?

For the people in the comments who are becoming disillusioned by Jungian typology as a whole, what worked for me was actually reframing the way I understand what this is and what’s it’s trying to do. CPT and other variations of Jungian typology aim to discover ones COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS, not ones personality. Cognitive functions determine how you perceive the world, data, scenarios, as well as how you decide on said data. Personality is still unique to you, and always will be, because your personality is made up of way too many variables to predict. So while every TE dominant type (for example) will decide on the world the same way functionally because your minds work the same, the outcome itself is based on many more things. These “personality” indicators are simply a way to understand how your mind works more, but if you want someone on the internet to tell you who you are based on a code, you’d likely have more success spending that time with yourself and the people close to you analyzing your past, your goals, your environment, and everything that led you to this point today. -That one INTP guy who is trying to clear his mental tabs, and this one has been sitting there for a while

The flow of an inxp is really relatable. More specifically, the stress of being yanked away. I spend a lot of time on the computer in the kitchen area doing my own things some days and while I have timers to remind me to eat and take breaks, they are just that: reminders. I never let anything, even me from yesterday, dictate what I'll be doing in that moment. And I get big bursts of stress when my mum or dad waltz in and ask something of me on the spot. I've come to be ok with it happening a couple of times, but my parents are constant doers and actively push people around to get things done which makes some days a nightmare. They will spend all day doing things and consistently pulling me out of my bubble to make me do things when I wish they could just tell me what they wanted me to do before I got into what I had, or that they could just leave me a list of things and let me do them in my own time after I'm done being in my zone. I love them so much but I literally hate it when they do that and I don't know what to about it.

And the fact that everybody has their own interpretations. Understanding everyone of them is not worth it. Worse is that I may have my own interpretation, may not be similar to these youtubers.. haha. In my opinion, Problem with understanding cognitive functions is how complicated it seems, when it is not. It is like riding a bike, when you look from outside, it looks like magic that they are not falling, but once you learn it, it's easy. You just need to get the intuitiveness of what these functions mean. Once you get what subject (I) vs object(E) is and what intuition, sensing, feeling, thinking individually are, then you know it all. People are just farming off it seeming all mystical and all.

Respectfully I wouldn't be putting CPT in the same bracket as OPS, Love Who etc, as Harry stated CPT is by far more granular and nuanced and is actually predicated on cognitive fluidity and thus personal growth. I've had the pleasure and displeasure of numerous typing services and CPT trumps the others any day of the week. If you put the work in upfront understanding the system going forward is relatively straightforward; no ubiquitous behavioural stereotypes like the likes of OPS, LoveWho etc. The typing services are also pretty deterministic: they had me down as an INFJ based upon seemingly weak Se, being a social introvert (as they work in binaries) and the stereotypes that go along with being a supposed INFJ, plus I paid nearly 2 fold compared to CPT for the displeasure. I wasn't best pleased indeed they just posed more questions. I really hope you give CPT more consideration.

Harry, It’s exciting how you immaculately emulated a facet of each child function. Most people get it wrong. One day we may conclude that the child function is more pertaining to one’s self, ego and expression than anyone imagined. Eventually the child function may be seen as responsible for style of speech/cadence, attitude, and influential in determining one’s desires. For example The ESFJ is a bubbly, carefree person, who loves to laugh and looks at life, with an almost child like wonder. The ESFJ lives for creative banter, portraying a witty sense of humour and a flair for the naughty. They have an Ne style of speech that comes across as random and lacking a timeline, almost scatter brained, when they are excited. This allows them to go from one story to another, conveying all the important details of their day, never missing a beat. The INTP is a calm, chill person that lives to relax. Depending on the comfort level obtained, the INTP will dislike being coerced to act. They are almost anti act. The main reason they don’t like authority, is not because they are rebellious, it’s because they don’t like being told when to act. The world is a place where authority wants to enforce action, and the INTP, just really, doesn’t want to move. Rules don’t apply, if you don’t move. Deep down, an INTP will despise being obligated to preform tasks for someone, they don’t want to be responsible for other peoples comfort. That’s why they preach independence, because they don’t want to take care of anyone else, let alone themselves. They are very child-like with their comfort, if someone is willing to take care of them, they will allow themselves to be mothered. They don’t like loud, emotional noises or being told troubling, detailed autobiographical stories, pertaining to one’s past. They don’t like to be hot or cold, and can have a strong sense of smell and taste. The INTP will be oblivious to ordinary household mess. They literally don’t notice most physical details, unless physically present in the moment or attached to an object or person. But its not all bad, if you don’t push on the INTP, they can be relaxed, chill, spontaneous, and witty, an overall joy to be around. They are willing to go with the flow as long as they aren’t pushed into unwanted action. When left alone, and not forced to act, the INTP can really shine. The INTP has a strong audio memory, that can obtain and absorb copious amounts of textual information, remembering details from conversations for decades. Almost everything read or heard is easy retained for the future.

Harry as always thank you for pointing out that say, being a feeling dominant doesn't = 'stronger' - I never would've accepted being a feeling dominant otherwise (I'm hardly a fuzzy 'feeling' force). Integration, expertise & consistency all made a lot of sense to me here which probably explains why I have prevalent ISTP & ISFJ networks from my ENFJ gateway. You've really explained here with regards to 'the 3' why I can be so stuck on refining concepts & very rigid in terms of being unwilling to listen to any other perspectives - quite the oxymoron when I'm trying to acquiesce people to my ENFJ Ti standards. Harry can you explain why my flow states (I have periods of time where I daydream & time elapses fast) are very intense, almost feeling real and very emotionally nuanced - what functions/networks would be at play here? I wouldn't say it's maladaptive daydreaming (it's like a switch I can turn on and off) as I resolve a lot of emotional baggage this way and it allows me to accept, compartmentalise & move forward, I'm just interested in whats at play here 😊. On a different note I always wander why an ENFP was attracted to me - I'm an uptight, serious, intense & tunnel visioned nightmare at times 😂.

Is it normal for an ENTP to be somewhat okay with meaning? :D Perhaps I misunderstood-- but I do have a few personal meanings for some things that I observe - like I can see the 'deep' meaning behind what a character says in a movie, I can say some of my family relationships have more meaning to me as to how they helped me in my life. Or I can say that some things in life have more of a 'personal meaning' to me than the others because I can see that they are universally broader and ever-encapsulating like laws of physics and origins of life etc. :D And I say 'personal meaning' for this because I have become aware that this isn't how all people think or feel, despite me thinking that these things are just bigger than any other thing that a single person can care for because they encapsulate the existence of all things... Sounds contradictory to some, but I don't actually believe in a meaning behind a person's life necessarily, or don't believe that there is necessarily a meaning to life - because I think the concept of 'meaning' is a human construct. But I know what things are more valuable to me because it's impossible not to see my mum's importance and meaning in my life for instance lol, or that some things are much more feeding to my interests and curiosity than others

Depersonalization works better than resist meaning. Although it's more like stoic non attatchmemt overlayed with intellictualized feelings and reward seeking play. If you are an entp, then it might be hard for you to understand the difference other than feeling that everyone else is weirdly attached to someone elses ideas. Entps do constantly perceive meaning, but it's rarely the same experience of meaning as a fi dom or fi 2nd. In fact, detatchment from these "meanings" allows for the style of cross context pattern seeking entps are known for. "Meaning" is just another idea. Esfp and enfps experience of meaning is synonymus with their definition of authenticity. Maximal attachment. Detatching from it to play with your own and others concepts of self is something that is alien to them. Entp and enfp clarity of thought and talent for pattern forming comes from opposite places.

I got so engrossed in this video - basically every point is something I can relate to. It's hard to say "what's dominant" and what's not. It feels like I engage with Ni and Ti quite often, but if I look over my life, it might've been more Ti dominance than Ni even though my engagement with the latter is pretty strong thanks to my religious upbringing. (Charismatic groups place a high value on internal revelations, an Ni trait. Fi is also strong, but I'm much more live-and-let-live with Fi as long as you're not hurting anyone.) I do struggle with energy levels, but maybe that's more of a physical trait instead of a cognitive one. On the days where I feel better, I usually find myself engaging quite often with the outside world (going for walks, playing music loudly, finding new foods to eat). My views on Computer Science, Philosophy, and basically any theoretical pursuit are: how can I apply this practically to my daily life? Does it make sense and can I relate it to something pragmatic? For example: Existentialism and Stoicism have some traits I consider helpful. The former for being able to control your own destiny even in the absence of inherent meaning. Stoicism for its focus on what's in the realm of your control. My trigger is also being embarrassed like the video mentions for IxTPs, which is why I go to great lengths to make sure my definitions and ideas are correct. When I wade into uncertain territory, I ensure to assert that I'm not 100% sure and welcome suggestions so that I'm not saying things that are untrue (as in, impractical). Thoughts? Maybe I'm just overthinking it and am Ni dominant after all. I do focus a lot on being nice to other people, but then again, that's not really related to thinking or feeling. I just think being a decent human being is a given and the most practical way to co-exist.

Off topic, but I just noticed that changing lighting and purposefully shifting setting. Makes the Ni aura! Seeing how much you've changed in general as far as eyes and ears can perceive from videos, there's definitely some hard work on Fi done. I repeat myself but its visibly an ongoing process that needs to be acknowledged, because it always deserves credit. The last two videos were made for me. They were answers to my thoughts, or should I say, questions. It gave me more confidence in my self perception. No restrictions, even if it doesn't make sense right now. Since a long time ago, I've seen more clearly the dominance of ENFP & ENFJ cognition. No rules and artificial behaviours attribution anymore. Tired of self-gaslighting. My theory: I am an ENFP at my core, but my Fe-centric environment pushed me into Fe-domness, therefore I've lost connection to my Fi and Fe is probably where I'm skilled most in some regards. Still, if you'd want to call the waters that I'm swimming in, it's a constant "curiosity and creativity hunt". It changes when I'm with people. I feel most comfortable just gathering informations, shifting subjects as I please, for hours. Bonus point: what I would WANT to have the most is what you said about Ti and even more so Fe doms. That sense of meaning is a priority but I always wanted that competence I think and to have that ongoing intellectual drive of a Ti dom, while I just give up on this and take a passive role due to the lack of self belief, oftentimes undeservedly. But I believe in making impossible possible! :)

Amazing and much needed video! But I wish you would go indepth on each of functions in their different placements... Especially their behaviour when mixed with other functions placements within the same type. For example, the Se inferior, you mentioned about energy conservation... while that is true, it has a lot more other aspects to it than "energy saving" alone especially with respect to their other function placements in the same type.. For example they tend to overcompensate, as if they have unlimited nonhuman energy when they care about something, tho not all the time but they are very much not "energy saving" when it comes to their competence and performence, they will go all out... So your description of it is so overly simplified, and contradicts other aspects/traits of Se inferior function and will be taken to face value by your audience, thinking anything that contradicts your description of that function is wrong, when in fact, it has paradoxical aspects to it which most people don't much care to dive into other than oversimplified definitions/descriptions, but I guess that can't be helped since nobody cares that deep into the psyche... This includes almost all the function placements you described in the video not just Se in the inferior placement. I wish you could make another long elaborate video for every short overly simplified videos like these.. But I guess you have a life like everyone else.

how do you distinguish between a need for a purpose that serves the community as a whole and the need for a purpose that serves other things? I'm asking because I've noticed (and it has been confirmed through research) that one of the major lacking needs people experience when dealing with some kind of mental distress is a sense of purpose. Not all of those people will be Fe doms though. I'm still not willing to accept behavior as an indicator for type or cognitions. Too much can force a person to behave a-typical of their true self and for such a long period of time that it ends up feeling like that's who they are, which then results in mental distress because it's not who they are at their core and that contradiction takes its toll after years or decades. So how do you distinguish the various forms of 'need for purpose'? Because... self-reflection requires an almost brutal type of honesty and in my experience most people can't do that. That's not a jab at them, but it's just extremely difficult to do. Most people will fall in the trap of wishfull self-delusion. Not because they actively seek to do so, but because they are human. Am I making sense? It sounds good in my head lol

@@MysticaAriYena It's a really good question! There are venn diagrams absolutely everywhere here and for good reason. Fe dominants are definitely more likely to find a sense of purpose that would be related to what people need, but this wouldn't necessarily be explicitly social. And as we're talking about traits I definitely wouldn't say purpose is a strictly Fe dominant thing, but across qualitative data it does seem to be something they often have in common more than other types. Meaning as embedded in rather than distinct from humanity is another way to frame it

@@CognitivePersonality I'm biased as an Fe dom myself and so having a purpose to the greater good seems a natural thing to have for me. However, I have noticed that others (who are definitely not an Fe dom) tend to speak in those terms as well. How does research check for ingraned political correctness upon questioning subjects? My own experience examining academic inquiries always leaves me somewhat dissapointed at the lack of adherence to basic scientific rules (the one most often violated being the "no leading questions or statements"). And, also from experience, one can train oneself in answering long inquiries that repeat the same questions in different ways. It's a practice often used in HR recruitment procedures too. Once you are used to it, it's easy to fall into the traps less. I dunno, maybe I'm just paying more attention to this than to other things, but it seems like everyone I talk to has this desire to 'help people'... Very often it triggers my bs alarm, but then who am I to dispute their reason for doing something. But that's not very scientific lol. I would hope that research does account for that bs with something more than the traditional outliers and margins of error. Some time ago, it occurred to me that if behavior is to be used as an indicator, it should be observed by a highly skilled and insightful observer. It happened to me on a walk with my Psych friend, who noticed that I always step out of the way for others, even when they are not anywhere near us yet and even when there is plenty of space without me having to move. I wasn't even aware I did that. These kind of things can't be re-enacted, they only happen by accident or natural occurence. If anyone were to ask me if I always shove myself out of the way for others, I'd say no. Because to me it doesn't feel that way. In my mind I'm just being considerate, not self-whatchamacallit... But from my friend's perspective I was not claiming the space I had a right to. (sorry, ENFJ going off course again LOL I'll shut up now )

@MysticaAriYena it's really difficult to scientifically account for people lying in such a self-report related system. The theory is the theory, and its application is always gonna be difficult, but I don't think that means you should control for emotional intelligence or honesty in any sort of way. If you did that, you'd probably end up off by a factor of a trend associated with that level of emotional intelligence or honesty.

I kind of agree about Ne Authority resisting 'certanty' in a way you described. I think another aspect of it, is that the INTP and INFP don't like when people put too much certainty into opinions, theories, hypothesis etc that they don't really know about, or didn't research into it, or infer their own personal biases into those opinions, presenting them as facts. Ofc everyone kind of gets this, but i think Ne Authority types are very apt to spotting these things right away. They don't like when someone just puts on the name/spins a narrative about something. Arrogance comes in as a big part of this behavior too. Myself and my brother (intp) are kind of like that. Although i maybe wouldn't say certainty, but short sightedness/stubborness? (not sure) I hope this makes sense

Harry what do you feel about our inferior function coming to our rescue and battling for us when our dominant function fails and our child function is pushed on? Example: entp cuts someone off driving, the person get road rage and the entp tries to tell the person to calm down. Isfp working in a factory makes a mistake but tells the boss the steps in a linear progression that he followed, the ones that he was given and followed, so it’s not his fault. Intp doesn’t do his job and gets reprimanded but says I want to be part of the team and that he enjoys working there. ESTJ makes a poor plan that offends someone, but the ESTJ turns it back to himself by saying my relative is sick so I’m not on the ball. Isfj gets asked why his production is low. She will give 5 random things that went wrong, in a random Time sequence.

I was typed by *you* back in 2021! After doing some further research into the functions I settled on the type you gave me, which was ISFP. For so long I went back and forth on it and ended up getting so confused because of all these different perspectives and stereotypes that I just didn't fit into. Eventually I stopped listening to all the noise and different perspectives and went with what fit the best, which explained how I view the world and information, rather than all these social stereotypes. That's why I like the CPT approach the best. It's much more encompassing.

i really like that most of them are relateable determining true type (in my eyes) is not an easy task, because of it's open ended nature but sometimes, i think knowing the nature, the personality, the ability to understand and relate to it is more important that finding your own type... without diminishing like... the benefits or anything from finding your true type... looking forward for videos like this.. 👍

I think any attempt to categorise types together based upon commonalities will produce some identifiers of whether a person belongs to one category or another. Same with Socionics quadras and CPT axes etc. But the interaction styles are more connected to behavioural traits than cogniitve attributes so I wouldn't say they're massively reliable.. But as with any type-clumping they can still be useful used alongside other things
