- What's up people?
Doctor Mike, the YouTuber took the 16personalities.com test.
We're gonna talk about that.
Now yourboyfj is a staunch critic
of the 16 Personalities test for many reasons,
most of which is that it's not really
a Myers-Briggs test that is actually a Big Five Test.
It's also leading people to get answers
that are not really correct
in terms of what their Myers-Briggs type is,
including Doctor Mike, as it turns out.
- ESFJ-A, I don't know what any of those mean.
- Oh, you might have seen I wrote it here.
On this whiteboard I got from Target
which makes me look professional.
So is Doctor Mike ESFJ,
Well I already kind of also ruined that he's not.
But going into this I didn't know what his type was
because I hadn't really watched his videos before
so I was going into it with an open mind.
Maybe he is ESFJ maybe 16personalities.com.
Got it right for once even a blind squirrel
gets a nut every once in a while.
If you're it's totally cold starting from scratch
you don't know nothing,
you don't know what intuition is at all.
For example, check out this video here
which is a four minute introduction
to what do the Letters mean?
Before we get into it this video is sponsored by Audible.

Get yourself an audio book to listen to in the car
or while you're washing the dishes or whatever.
It's great to be able to do something to stimulate your mind
while you're otherwise occupied.
Okay, let's get into typing Doctor Mike.
Now we're looking at him being interviewed by Phil DeFranco.
And he's talking about how does he deal
with people who are anti-vaccines.
- What I've learned is the first step in having someone
look at your views with an open mind
is you have to get them to like you
and you like pretty much every other doctor out there
gets very mad when parents don't want a vaccinate
their children cause they're worried about...
like you're doing this for good reason.
But now this emotion that you're having will right away
put you at odds with someone who disagrees with you.
- Rather than, jump into it and be like,
I just lay a bunch of facts on them,
or I have to deal with this.
He's like, first I have to get them to like me.
And the first thing he goes to, is the emotion
and once more you could say this is Extroverted,
he understands like, what is gonna make someone
like him, he's looking at them first.
- What would you recommend to someone that's listening now,
right kind of Joe Blow, they don't have your background.
They don't have your experience.
They come across an anti-vaxxer.
Right, who's so sure what would you arm them with?
- Compassion and nuance and understanding
that if they were under their set of circumstances,
they may very well come to the same conclusion.
- Hmm, I Like that.
- Once you can understand that.
A lot of things change in perspective for you.
- He is saying first you gotta go get them
on the feeling level, first feeling
and then you can move on to other stuff.
So far 16 Personalities looks like a got one thing right?
It got feeling right.
Well you could also say got the judging part right
because if you have an FJ type, that's my name,
it means they have Extroverted feeling
in their first two functions.
Okay, so now we're gonna look
at another question about vaccines.
This is a little more recent.
So it's talking about people who are scared
about the coronavirus vaccine when it comes out
and they don't people who aren't gonna want it.
- And I feel like my role is the science communicator
is to figure out how to debunk that information
without being sarcastic mean, overly focused on data
or simply just taking it down.
- So this is interesting.
His priority isn't on, let me get the facts out there
and let me blast these people who are so stupid.
It's like I got to do it without being mean.
And I've got to appeal to their feelings
and I've also not got to give too many facts
I don't want to overload them with the facts
they're not as important as the overall
meetings that we have.
To me, this is like obvious enough talk,
I got to communicate the concept to people
in a way that they'll be happy with.
Let's jump to another thing where Doctor Mike
is talking about how doctors need to have a bit of humility
when it comes to the facts.
- Studying medicine requires a little bit of humility.
Because things change in medicine,
things that we believe are facts change all the time.
In fact, like a great example of this is we've had species
that were labeled extinct that we then found
like later at the bottom of the depths of the ocean,
ops they're not extinct anymore.
But if you asked before that period,
we would say it's a fact.
- So he's like, let me give you a specific sensory example.
And then he just kind of gives something
that's not very specific.
Mike I don't even know if it's true.
What is he talking about?
Not very clear in the sensory.
He does this a lot, you'll notice.
I'll give you an example.
And then it's like this really kind of blurry example.
That isn't very specific, you'll find with sensory people,
they deal mostly in examples.
And when they give you examples, it's very clear
and you kinda understand the facts immediately.
Doctor Mike don't do that so much.
- So we have this level of humility where we say,
this is the best information we have on hand now,
it may change, but this is what we're recommending,
cause this is the best information.
almost like a poker player, you can lose a hand
even against someone who's worse than you.
But you're making the best decision you can
with the limit information at hand.
- It is appearing as though Doctor Mike is an intuitive
not a sensor because he is more concerned
with being responsible for the concepts
and the facts are kinda secondary.
Okay, now we're gonna look for is his intuition
Introverted or Extroverted.
And we're going back to the question
that we saw a little earlier where he said,
the thing that you need is compassion and understanding
where the other person is coming from,
- And this applies not just to the vaccine conversation.
This applies to cancel culture, outrage culture,
whatever it is, until you realize that you're just
a little bit of nuance away from understanding
how they got there.
Only until you have that understanding and compassion,
can you actually do something about it?
- This whole thing about understanding what someone else
is going through and having compassion
is just like all these other things.
It's just like canceled culture.
It's just like, blah, blah, blah.
I saw the video five seconds ago and I forgot what he said,
but he doesn't limit it to this one circumstance.
He draws all of these Intuitive Connections
to other situations,
and he says they're basically all the same thing.
Which is starting to sound a little bit like
Introverted intuition because Introverted intuition
is trying to say, everything is kind of like this.
It takes all of these different situations
and brings it together with one intuitive understanding.
Let's look at another question which will demonstrate
another aspect of Introverted intuition,
which has to do with control.
- If you had a kid right now.
- Yeah.
- When would you allow them on social media?
- Um, mid to late high school?
- Wait, okay, oh, wow.
- Yeah, very late.
- You think you're gonna be able to keep
that technology out of their hand,
- 100%.
- Okay, so somebody who has Introverted intuition
or Introverted sensing, they want to like keep things
controlled and organized, not necessarily everything
in their life, but whatever they are set on controlling.
They're like, yeah, I'll control it, no big deal.
And when we're talking about kind of an intuitive control,
it's not so much about specific sensory things,
but more like setting up systems to keep things in line.
And when we're looking at this particular example,
he's like, yeah, sure, I'll be able to control my kids fine.
I'll set up a bunch of rules.
They won't be able to use social media.
I don't care.
I'll be able to control that.
He's very calm about it.
He's like, yeah, this is second nature to me.
So what I'm seeing is high Extroverted feeling.
And high Introverted intuition.
So that means, as of this moment,
there's two possible types he could be,
which would be ENFJ or INFJ.
Is everyone in my audience freaking out
because I feel like everyone on the internet is an INFJ.
But I'm saying this for real though
this is like my legitimate typing of him.
This isn't a joke.
(laughs)
This is where I didn't want to go here.
This is just what happened.
Here's another interesting thing about vaping,
which I believe is going to demonstrate
that he has low perhaps inferior, Extroverted Sensing.
Extroverted Sensing is about being able
to roll with all of the new information
coming in the sensory information.
So it's the facts and just like generally
what's happening right now, being able to roll with it
and when someone has Extroverted Sensing inferior,
which means that is their fourth function,
an INFJ or an INTJ.
They tend to get really worked up about
this kind of stuff because when a function
is inferior, they're suppressing it.
They have it, but they don't want to deal with it.
So that means it's like you're always worried about
what information am I not seeing what's being thrown at me,
you always get kinda worked up at situations
that are constantly changing.
You imagine like a dam with a bunch of holes in it
an INFJ, INTJ is going to be like,
oh F, we need to set up a system
so that these holes never pop up again,
we need to figure this out,
we got to think about it for a while.
Let's see what Doctor Mike says.
- We are not doing what we used to do with cigarettes.
Before with cigarettes.
We used to send undercover officers in stings,
to actually give serious fines for this.
We're not doing that with vaping.
And we need to and then also vaping sales on eBay
and all these other sites where kids can freely access it
and get it sent to their home.
- So he's like we used to have these systems
in place to keep this under control.
And now those are gone
and there's like all this chaos happening.
Kids are getting vapes everywhere.
They could just walk into the store and get it.
He uses the example of they can just go online to eBay
or these other sites and get it these vague examples.
And I'm not even sure that's factually accurate.
I don't think you can get the vapes on eBay,
maybe I'm wrong.
I've tried it before you can't.
Now look, anyone can say that.
Anyone of any type could say that.
But when you start to see it as a pattern where it's like,
we don't have enough control in the situation,
there's too much random crap flying around.
We need to get this under control.
That's a sign that's a pattern.
So this next question I think is the most telling
- I want the real mess here.
Have you had any like I have to stop for a second
taking the situation dark moments
in the past two months. - Yes in September last year,
my channel dropped 90% in subscribers.
- [Phil] Oh, wow.
- In five days, just out of nowhere for the month,
and views dropped by 60% despite the fact
that I had like five multi million view videos.
So it's not like my videos that I was putting out
weren't performing they were.
But something happened in the algorithm,
something completely out of my control.
And whenever something's completely out of my control,
or I can't even find it understanding why it's happening,
that drives me bonkers.
There's videos of me literally laying on the floor
in my scrubs, like pounding the floor,
because I'm looking at the real time analytics
and I had no understanding
why things were happening the way they were.
So that was a really dark place for a month.
- Anyone would be bothered by views going down.
But when you get asked the question,
What was this dark point?
And he specifically asked him like in the last three months,
this dark point, and he goes way back beyond that,
because this is stuck in Doctor Mike's brain
as like one of the worst times in his YouTube career
is when the views went down.
And he didn't understand what was going on.
He didn't have all of the information
it was out of his control.
These are like typical IJ kinda things to say.
- I love that I was like
(laughs)
essentially like What part of the last three months
of just this never before seen thing and this generation
might have made you really dark in your life
well, last year my views were down.
(both laughing)
- No, but like I can fathom and I can understand
and wrap my head around why this pandemic affects people
and why we feel certain things.
Like you have a general understanding
of how the human mind and body work.
Therefore, that stuff doesn't stress me out as much
I can sort of place it in my mind.
But when things happen that are outside of our control
that you want to control, it's really frustrating.
- We know we've talked about either ENFJ or INFJ here.
To anyone who is dominant feeler or thinker,
which an ENFJ is if they were asked that question
about what was the darkest thing that happened
theoretically, they would start to talk about
some of the people involved
and ENFJ might be like I had a bunch of people
turn against me and I had to find,
the strength within myself.
They would talk about how there was some backlash online,
they're just much more people oriented
whereas the IJs they're more focused
on the stuff that's happening and like the systems
that are in place and people can be part of that,
but it's not so much the main focus.
Yeah, that's what we got here is he's not ESFJ
he is actually Ni-Fe which is you guessed it, INFJ.
Doctor Mike confirmed INFJ
by your boy, fj takes one to know one.
And if you ever see a YouTuber who comes out
with a 16 Personalities video like Doctor Mike did,
you can leave me a comment on this video
or any video really, let me know about it
and put the #typewithFJ and I'll see it.
Thanks for watching till next time,
stay cool and attractive.
