- So today I'm gonna be doing
the official Myers Briggs test,
MBTI, Myers Briggs Type Indicator,
I think that's what it stands for.
Anyway, it costs about $50 to do it properly.
I do not feel okay about giving them my money,
I don't really know whey they do with it
but this is content.
(upbeat music)
Hi, I'm Hannah Witton.
Welcome to my mini-series about discovering who I am,
but doing seemingly inaccurate and false personality tests,
quizzes, et cetera.
Caviar, they're all bullshit in some way.
However, Myers Briggs is my favourite.
Everyone's gotta have a favourite
of the bullshit personality stuff.
I like it way more than horoscopes
because horoscopes is just like you were born
on this day, what?
At least with this you have to answer some questions.
But Myers Briggs was one of the first ones
that I like discovered and started to understand
and when I was at university, we had someone
from the careers department like actually do the proper,
full-on test with us.
And she was qualified in Myers Briggs or whatever,
however it works and she went through our results with us.
So that was in 2013 / 2014.
It is now 2019, so it's been a while.
Have I changed?
Probably not that much.
The thing is, is that during that time
when I took that test, and in recent years,
until very recently actually, I have been adamant
or I've been trying to be an ENFP.
In Myers Briggs there are 16 different personality types
and each one is four letters.
So the first letter is either E or I,
extrovert or introvert.
The second letter is either N or S,
either intuitive or sensing.
The third letter is either T or F,
thinking or feeling.
And the fourth letter is either P or J,
perceiving or judging.
And you might be like, "What the frick do any
"of those words mean?"
So extroversion, introversion is about
where you get your energy from
and how you then replenish that energy.
Sensing and intuition, the way that I understand it
it's about how we perceive the world.
So someone who is sensing, it refers to the five senses.
So they're a bit more detail orientated
because they take in the details,
like what can I see, touch, smell, et cetera?
Whereas someone who is intuitive,
is a more like a bigger picture assigns meaning to things.
Thinking and feeling is about how we make our decisions.
Do we make decisions based on emotions
or based on rational thought?
Perceiving and judging.
I've no idea why these are called this,
but basically judges are super organised
and like schedules, and perceivers are a bit less organised
and like flexibility and spontaneity.
If you've been watching my channel for a while,
you'll know that I am super organised.
And I love systems and organising things and planning,
I just love it, love it, love it.
But, like I said, I'm an ENFP,
or at least that's what I came out as last time
I did the test.
But it's because I wanted to be
and I knew what the questions were
and so I knew how to answer it
in order to get what I wanted.
Which is why it's all flawed.
But it basically comes down to the fact
that I'm pretty sure I'm an ENFJ,
because I cannot ignore my J'ness,
but when I actually read the like overall description
for the ENFJ, and the ENFP,
I just preferred the ENFP.
I was like, "That person sounds way better
"than the ENFJ."
So I was like, "I wanna be that person."
And this is why it's all super flawed and stupid.
But anyway, we're gonna do the test now,
see what I come out as.
I'm gonna try and answer them as truthfully as possible.
The thing is is that I know Myers Briggs fairly well
and so I'll know from the questions what it's asking me.
When I was at Uni I got so into Myers Briggs,
like proper nerding out.
Anytime anyone came around to our house,
I would like try and figure out what their type was
and there's loads of other extra stuff
about, depending which letters you are,
and what combination of letters,
how they interact with each other,
so depending on your combination,
you've got your dominant function,
you've got an auxiliary function
and you have a tertiary function.
Oh my God, there's inferior as well.
I've done some more research
and I still don't understand it.
I thought there was a pattern to figuring out
which was the dominant and which was your auxiliary,
but from the examples I've been looking at,
the pattern that I thought was true,
is not true so I'm confused.
But it doesn't matter.
All you need to know is that there is dominant,
auxiliary, tertiary and then inferior functions.
But the tertiary and inferior functions,
whatever, you don't need to worry about those.
Dominant and auxiliary, these are meant
to like balance each other out.
I have an example of an ENFP here,
so an ENFP's dominant function is extroverted intuition
and then the auxiliary function is introverted feeling.
Make of that what you will.
So the ENFJ functions are slightly different.
The dominant is extroverted feeling
and the auxiliary is introverted intuition.
Doesn't matter, it's all hypothetical bullshit.
Let's do the test.
93 questions.
Oh it's like either/or.
When you go somewhere for the day,
would you rather plan what you will do
and when or just go?
Already I'm like, "Yes, I'll plan it."
But sometimes I do just go.
If you were a teacher, would you rather teach fact courses
or courses involving theory?
Theory.
Are you usually a good mixer,
a "good mixer", rather quiet and reserved?
I am a good mixer.
Do you prefer to arrange dates, parties, et cetera,
well in advance?
Yes.
I don't even know what the other thing is
but well in advance.
Be free to do whatever looks fun when the time comes.
I wish I could do that.
When, usually when the time comes around, I'm busy.
Like if you wanna book something cool with me,
you gotta, at least three weeks in advance.
Do you usually get along better with imaginative people
or realistic people?
Don't think I have a preference,
but maybe more imaginative people.
Realistic people can be down or something, right?
(upbeat music)
Does the idea of making a list of what you should get done
over the weekend appeal to you or leave you cold?
It appeals to me, I regularly make lists of
what needs to get done over the weekend.
(upbeat music)
Here's the thing though, it says,
"Do you tend to spend a lot of time
"by yourself or with others?"
I spend all of my time by myself.
Look at me, this is where I spend all of my time, by myself.
But I'm definitely an extrovert, because it drains me.
I am very lucky that I'm going out this evening
and seeing some friends.
'Cause otherwise, holy shit, I'd go mad.
(upbeat music)
Do you know what?
There's been a few questions, of obviously
like the introvert, extrovert questions and my truth
is like the introvert answer.
I definitely think though that from spending all of
this time alone, I am better at it.
So it's not asking me what my preference is,
it's asking me what my ability is
which is stupid because when I first learned
about Myers Briggs it was nothing to do with ability
or at least I was told it's got nothing to do
with your ability, it's to do with your preference.
Which is why I've always gravitated towards being a P,
because it was my preference to be a P,
even though my abilities were being mega organised.
Anyway.
(upbeat music)
I'm also having trouble doing the thinking, feeling ones.
I thought I was really feeling,
but I've been in a relationship with someone
who is far too rational for his own good
for the last two years and I think it's rubbed off on me.
(upbeat music)
I thought that this would be way more sophisticated
than the shit free ones you get online.
But no, it's exactly the same as the shit free ones.
It's just shit and expensive.
Myers Briggs is gonna come for me.
This is like the most anti Brandyl Brandyl,
it's not Brandyl obviously.
They would never allow it.
(upbeat music)
Oh, we're on to a different section now,
so it says, "Which word in each pair appeals to you more?
"Think about what the words mean,
"not how they look or sound."
This is Christ literally one of them is thinking, feeling.
(upbeat music)
See, I'm answering some of these because I prefer
the word casual to systematic,
which is obviously gonna like put me on more of a P.
Anyway, whatever, boring.
(upbeat music)
We're back to normal questions.
That was stressful, that was like quick fire.
I was trying to do it as fast as possible,
so it's like just my instinct.
(upbeat music)
Done, I have submitted, done.
I think I am gonna come out
like something completely different.
I don't think I'm gonna come across as feeling.
I think I've become a thinker.
I think I've become a rational, cold robot.
I now have an interactive learning session.
This will take approximately 30 minutes.
And maybe this is what I'm paying for.
Can I save this?
Don't wanna go through this now.
Okay no, it's basically saying there are four elements,
each element is made up of two opposite ways of being.
You have a natural preference for one.
It's presented to you in shorthand letters
and combined, it's your whole personality type.
So the four elements are the way you direct
and receive energy, so that's the extrovert, introvert.
The way you take in information, intuition, sensing.
The way you decide and come to conclusions,
thinking, feeling.
And the way you approach the outside world.
Ugh, this is so much writing.
Okay, these are some common misconceptions
about the intuition and sensing.
So the idea that intuitive people are more creative
and the idea that sensing people don't like change,
both can be creative and apparently sensing people
welcome change when the facts tell them so.
Oh, so it's like asking you, based on the information
that they've just given you about the different types
to select which one you think you are
and then it compares that to what the results were
that you got in the assessment.
So I got I am likely to be intuitive.
So it's on a scale of S to N, and it's like very likely,
likely, somewhat likely on both.
On both ends.
So I'm likely intuitive.
Now how do we decide and come to conclusions?
This is the thinking and feeling stuff.
I don't know, I feel like I might have come out
more thinking, but I'm pretty sure I'm overall like
feeling, lemme see.
Oh, common misconceptions, people who prefer feeling
are more emotional than people who prefer thinking.
Wrong.
You can be equally emotional, that's what it says.
I think I'm feeling.
Ooh, okay, so I'm somewhat likely to be feeling.
So I'm still on the feeling end,
but it's like slightly more in the middle.
Let's find out about my introversion and my extroversion.
Oh, we got common misconceptions.
Introverts are withdrawn and quiet, no.
Everyone who prefers extroversion likes to party, no.
I think I'm extrovert.
And it's come up as likely.
I'm a likely extrovert.
How do we perceive the outside world?
Okay, so here's the big one.
Am I judging or perceiving?
I mean am I the only person who is fascinated
and curious?
You're all just like, "Hannah, we just don't care
"at this point."
Okay, so I think, ooh, hold on.
Common misconceptions.
So perceivers are procrastinators, not necessarily.
They start by collecting information.
People who prefer perceiving
are not good at meeting deadlines.
Oh, so apparently they meet their deadlines,
they just don't beat the people who are judging
to the deadline.
Judges like to make lists.
Apparently perceivers also enjoy making lists.
But I bet you don't enjoy it as much as me.
I think I'm judging.
Okay, yeah, likely, I'm a likely judger.
So which is the only one that's kind of in the middle
was my thinking, feeling.
I blame Dan.
Hello, I'm an ENFJ.
My estimated type and reported type are the same.
Should we read about me?
ENFJ's are sociable, responsive and highly attuned
to the emotions, needs and motivations of others.
They are good at drawing out the best in others
and want to help everyone fulfil his or her
or their potential.
They can facilitate a group, act as a catalyst,
and provide inspiriting leadership.
Most of my YouTube friends are ENFJs or ENFPs.
And we're quite similar.
Give us attention.
They value home, family health, friendships,
learning and community service.
This is a community service right now, surely?
No Hannah, this is purely self-indulgent.
I wanna find out about my dominant.
What did I say the dominant for an ENFJ was?
Extroverted intuition?
And then introverted feeling.
Which means I do have feelings,
they're just on the inside.
Oh no, it's the other way round.
Apparently I've got extroverted feelings,
so my feeling is on the outside.
And my introversion, no my intuition,
its what's introverted.
I don't know really what that means.
So there we have it, confirmed,
I'm an ENFJ, I can no longer run away from my J'ness anymore
and I'll have to leave my P'ness behind.
Did you get it?
Penis.
Thank you for watching, please give the video a thumbs up
if you enjoyed it and let me know in the comments
your Myers Briggs type if you know it.
Don't spend 50 quid on this.
Like you can find the information online and do a free quiz.
Don't forget to subscribe because I make new videos
every week and so you don't miss the next one of
the "Who am I?" series.
I shouldn't, it's not that dramatic.
Also, if anyone can explain to me how
the dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, inferior functions work
in the comments, please leave an essay.
I will read that.
Okay, thanks for watching, bye.
Can you see my bra?
Have you been able to see my bra this entire time?
Okay.
