Hey! My name is Erik Thor and I recently started my own independent website exploring personality psychology, flow and neuroscience.

Tested myself multiple times, in different sites too. I always get INTP as I laugh about it being amused. I love your style of describing the personalities, made it clear most possible ways I have seen. I can see a well developed insight from you sir. Thank you very much~

Wow. Thank you very much your videos are helping me a lot!

[carolinenavarro]

You have a very special gift! Thank you for sharing

Myers Briggs was a genius to figure all this stuff out and to give such detail about almost anyones mindset, behaviors, and values with such accuracy. He set up the system which is being expanded upon and studied by people like you. My Guess is an INTP.

I can see you have very good insight to see through! Keeping it in mind though there are so many people mentally emotionally spiritually screwed in their own world regardless of introverted extroverted intuitive or sensing! I’m infp but I have common sense and I know when I think logically and rationally depending on matter or topic. Human condition is not like that b/s it’s related to life! Genetic is very important as much as other factors. However, thank you for your great works to help people be the best version

As a thinking type I only like rules that make sense and do what it was intended to accomplish. And I'm very good at finding loopholes. I also read people pretty well (though have been oblivious on more than one occasion) and understand and value what others are feeling. I want everybody to get along and work together for what's good. However, I get overwhelmed by too many conflicting feelings or somebody with intense emotions, mostly because I don't know what to do with the information. I usually avoid such emotion by making jokes or bringing some kind of levity to the situation.

I'm an intp, but don't fit most of the stereotypes. I'm a creative, outgoing, and effective leader who can be charming and very likable. But I oftentimes need to be on my own to recharge, especially if I've had to accommodate the needs of too many people at once. This involves doing my artwork, reading and researching the heck out of topics nobody else cares about or finds meaningful. Geeks are my peeps and I often wind up being the geek interpreter to those who aren't geeks. (Though some geeks feel I'm not geeky enough.)

On the flip side, I value truth more than maybe I ought to, and find it difficult to re-engage with someone I have determined is a liar or hypocrite...which isn't very "nice" because I can't "forgive and forget." And if you have done me dirty I will find a million ways to avoid ever talking to you again. So I know I have flaws, ya know? Anyway, like all of you, I'm a complex amalgamation of traits and abilities.

I find that the descriptions of mbti types sometimes is lacking in depth, particularly for the intp (which I'm most familiar with) because it doesn't take into account that we aren't all 140/140 score i/e, n/s, t/f, p/j. But I'm not sure I like the enneagram concept any better because it focuses so much on the negatives and fears of types as core motivations. Still, I'm fairly new to enneagram concepts, so I continue to look for more information about how the enneagram concepts merge with mbti concepts. And that's why I'm listening to Eric.

This definitely helps. I like the thoroughness of your videos. I haven't been sure whether I'm an INTP or an INFP, even though I'm forty-something. I've been thinking too much recently, so I'll clear my head and come back to the question later, once I've processed the information.

I loved this video and for me it is one of your best! I am ENFP and my husband and son are both ISTJ's. Your explanations how we analyze data and information is so spot on! I think you are doing a great job of helping people understand one another. Thank you so much for your work!

[froggobaggins]

I'm an intp but the more i thing the more i see i'm maybe an Infp

[jaimeflor]

Great video Erik, and you made some excellent points. When I first took the MBTI 18 years ago, I didn't answer the questions honestly. I was very uncomfortable with myself at the time and my results were ISTP. Now I consistently get INFJ, and those functions really resonate with me at age 38.

[Birchswinger]

I’m an ENFP. This was a great video!!

Hi Erik, I took your test and seem to have come across an anomaly. Here is what I got:

Results
Flow Type: ENFP – The Actor
When self-actualised, you take on the properties of an ENFP personality type. You like most of all to imagine yourself as different people, in different situations, seeing things from different sides, and seeing what you could become. You see parallel timelines, options, different places you could life in, and different places you could go to. You represent change and what we could all become, the endless potential hidden inside all of us. Is this you? Read more about your personality type by navigating the menu above.

BUT in the scores for the Thinking/Feeling spectrum, I have scored:

Thinking (T) / Feeling (F)
67 out of 160
With a score over 50% on this, you’re probably a thinker. Thinkers like to go on logical, impersonal, and objective facts about a situation, what can I prove, how can I test, how can I measure, or how can I use the world in a good or conscious way?

So despite the individual breakdown of scores stating that I am a Thinker, how did I get ENFP on the overall result?

The other thing is - Judging (J) / Perceiving (P)
75 out of 160
A score above 50% suggests that you’re a judging type, someone that has a passion for management or leadership, or for judging how a situation should be and taking action to make sure a situation goes a certain way. A score below 50% suggests you’re a perceiving type.

So according to this score, I should be a Judger but again, the overall says ENFP which is confusing. However, I did like what you had written about how introverts and extroverts derive certainty from within themselves, or with external interaction respectively. That makes a lot of sense, about why I as an extrovert feel anxious about going in to a situation blind, or when I don't have the data to process and then accordingly modify my presentation of myself or my ideas to my "audience".

Would love to hear your explanation for this. Thanks in advance.
