I swear man, I watch this video just to hear another INTJ talk. Makes me feel a little less alone. Thanks for the great vid sir.

[Basilicum_Raspberry]

This is hilariously accurate. I had some discussions with an ENTJ and every single time I could agree with him mostly but I kept telling him about the nuance he was missing out that made his conclusion wrong. I think he was thinking that I was just being difficult but I was really just pointing out the details because for me it made a significant difference. When he said something that I could easily fact check that was obviously wrong I started to question if I can take any of his "facts" seriously.

Well that definitely explains why my new pet peeve has been people using words incorrectly/hyperbolically to the point where the words lose all meaning. I didn't even notice how annoyed I would get about this, (because it's done in the real world SO FREQUENTLY now-a-days) until I started seeing people do this while I'm gaming. To others, I'm sure it seems silly, hell I can even acknowledge that in the grand scheme of things it IS silly. And yet, I still can't ignore how much it irks me at times. And the more I've let a person into my circles, the more it irks me when they do it because the only thing I can think is, "You should be better than that..."

Overall, great video! Both educational and fun, keep it up Jon!

I wish I'd seen this on Monday morning, before I sent that email...

[ElleRaawh]

Thanks so very much-
You have enlightened me.
Really really enjoyed this video…
Brilliant.

I’m trying to figure out which of the 10 contingency plans I’ve made, due to the fact the doctor told me (dramatically) that I am not healthy enough to take on my dream job overseas…
But I am still deactivating. I’ll keep watching your videos.
Again, luvya appreciate ya, believe in ya 🙃🌻

Now what many people don’t fully understand is that our critical parent function is in fact our third strongest function, and that we used just about as much as our parent function; and way stronger than our child function. For instance you as an INTJ will use Ti almost as much as Te, as the data that you adhere to has to make sense. Now with my case being an INTP, I very frequently use my critical parent Ni and used almost as much as Ne. This is why we are very strategic and future-focussed.

Thats so true I consistently have to be shown evidence and facts that something is proof

[sandotter]

I love your way of explaining things through simple and creative storytelling. I can see some of that Fi slipping through 😊 I wonder if you've ever made a video on Feminine and Masculine functions. I watch some videos of other creators and I think that it's so interesting how different we show up even with the same MBTI type.

[lozunwin]

My function stack is very weird, I feel most like an infp yet Ti is actually also my critical parent funny enough, my function stack is Fi> Fe = Ni > Ne > Si > Ti > Te > Se

[Bergonis]

"Why do I sound more intelligent than you?" 😂

[OksanaHavryliuk-tz]

Well, guys, yeah, you kinda have 2 properly functioning thinking functions: aux Te and critic Ti, one of the best equipped thinking types! Of course we cannot compare to you with our only Ti tertiary and non existent Te.

Btw, can it be that Ti critic in INTJs brings out INFJ's Ti more? And the same happens to INTJ"s Fi when INFJ they met, is in touch with their critic?



Also, thank you for the video, it's a curious sneak peek into your minds, the part that I was missing until now.)

[Elodie_N_INTJ_Analyzes]

You understand me ✨Great observation as always.
The 6th function in dreams was represented by an old man, for John Beebe. For me too, it was an wise man. Ti critic who become Ti wise maybe.
Yep my mind blocked on the word "pretentious", and I preferred to leave the space. Well explained.

[BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

This might explain why my Ti score was so high on the 'Keys2Cognition' test (it was my 4th highest after Ni, Fi and Te).

[Shiraori]

I think learning about my critical parent was what made me convinced of the mbti+cognitive function stack theory.

[ChristieNel]

English literature class, I'm asked to explain a chapter, I give 42 different interpretations, possibilities and outcomes. Teacher replies, "you're overthinking it, it's really not that complicated." Me: gobsmacked.

[lazyscholar]

Keeping in mind the full framework, the ENTJ is able to perform comparable Te discussion with a fraction of the time it took you.

Critical Ti won't let you SOUND stupid. But ENTJ Critical Ne says to quickly synthesize and Blast Se facts and keep it moving. The more graphs and figures they have to work with, the better.

I am also wondering if you were Fi motivated in your research or if this was a neutral task for both of you.

[sarahhhbae]

your videos always clear so much up for me

[godKiller.]

Yeah that is why IN(T) feels like having strong Ti and Si too.
But let`s get out of Plato`s cave.. it`s a really silly place!

[moneymanagement]

in my experience ISFJs have very good Ti, even compared to INTPs. However I have noticed ISTPs have more intuition compared to INTP.

[Germanina]

Didnt seen the video 😅, but, … you guys have extraverted thinking.
