- There are things that are good
about being each of the 16 personalities,
and there are things that are bad
about being each of the 16 personalities,
but there's also stuff in the middle
that's just kind of annoying.
It's like not the worst thing ever,
but it's this constant pebble in my shoe.
So this video is about what is annoying,
annoying about being each of the 16 personalities.
INTPs and ISTPs, you guys have a lot of great ideas, right?
You're always thinking of a good way
to do something, to solve a problem,
and a lot of times, you're just off doing this on your own.
But ultimately, I think you want to solve these problems
to help people.
So it becomes really annoying when the dummies
that you're trying to help, they don't get it.
It's a constant annoyance.
You've got great answers to the questions that people have,
but then the people are like,
"Well, that wasn't the answer I wanted.
"I don't know, I don't think that's true.
"I don't know that you've thought this through."
Little do they know
you've been thinking this through for the last 15 years.
For the ENTJ and ESTJ, (laughing)
just like, ugh,
you know how to get stuff done,
you know how to get people together
and work towards the goal.
And a lot of times,
you can look at all the ideas that are out there
of how to solve a problem.
You could say, "That one's good, that one's bad."
That's why these types are good managers.
But then annoyingly, what inevitably ends up happening
is that someone is like,
"Hey, I've got a great idea, let's do this."
And everyone's like, "Oh yeah, great."
And you're like, "Hey, does it sound better when you say it?
"'Cause I said this weeks ago, where's my credit?
"I'm not getting the recognition I deserve."
Perhaps on the flip side of that,
and if I was good at my job, I would've written it here.
When things go wrong,
these types feel like they're getting the blame for stuff
that they don't deserve the blame for.
These types, you just be chilling and doing, (chuckling)
you know how to read a room.
I am aware of how people will feel depending on what I say.
And you're doing all this heavy lifting
in whatever social situation you're in.
And inevitably along comes, oh, well, vibe-wrecker,
someone just walks in and they say the thing
that you know you really shouldn't have said that,
read the room.
Now I've gotta come in, and I've gotta save the day,
and I've gotta restore the vibe.
Because due to you, unfortunately,
the vibe continues to deteriorate.
It's like, "Oh, you look like you're having fun,
"ENFJ or ESFJ, let me throw a grenade in here
"that you can jump on top of."
These types, I would call,
the explorers of the 16 personalities,
they're always looking out for new uncharted territory.
Sorry, ENTPs, I cut you off.
So what's really annoying for them is when they're out
doing all of this mental exploration,
they're looking at all of the possibilities
for whatever it is.
It might be like the next big adventure
or the next big thing I could do with my life,
the next job, the next degree.
So it's really annoying
when you're out doing your thing, exploring,
and then you look around and you've ended up at square 1.
You're not stuck at square 1,
you have actually gone out,
you've gone through all the squares,
you've gone through square 1014,
and then accidentally, you look around,
and it's like, "I'm back where I started from."
Maybe it's something as literal as my hometown
or maybe it's something a little more abstract,
like, originally I had a plan for a business
that would make hamburger buns,
and then I went through all these iterations of ideas
and went crazy, and then I just came back to the idea
that, "Yeah, hamburger buns, let's just do it."
These types like to say, "Ah, we'll see."
Everyone around them is like,
"No, we could draw a conclusion right now."
And they're like, "No, I don't think we can."
There are several details here that are different.
This is probably not the same situation, but then it is.
Oh no, I am so annoyed.
It's the same old thing.
You got fired from a company that was like a tech startup,
and it was being run kind of fast and loose,
and it looked like it was gonna be really great,
and then it fell apart, you lost your job.
And then you get a job with another tech company,
a tech startup, it's playing fast and loose,
and you're like, "This time it's gonna be different."
Everyone around you is like,
"Hey, dude, this is the same old situation as before.
"Maybe you should get out before you lose your job."
But you're like, "Nah, that last company,
"they sold cybersecurity software,
"and this company that I'm at now,
"they sell cyber insecurity,"
software that tells you all the things that are wrong.
INFPs, ISFPs, you guys like to do your own thing.
"I wanna be an actor because I love it,"
no good reason for it.
But it's so annoying
because that's just all these distractions,
and specifically,
I'm talking about people creating distractions.
You're over here trying to be an actor,
and all these people are like,
"Hey, what are you gonna do for a real job?
"That's not a great idea.
"Hey, why don't you do this, why don't you do this?
"Why don't you do this, why don't you do this?"
I'm trying to pull you over here to do this other thing.
Like on the surface, you might realize
that these people are just trying to help,
but gosh, it is so annoying,
just shut up, just let me do my thing,
please just, (grunting)
pretty annoying, right? (chuckling)
It was hard for me to come up with something
because you guys, on the surface,
always seem to have it together.
That is the thing for these types,
they're organized in some way,
and it doesn't necessarily mean
that they have an immaculately organized closet,
it just could mean that they have a very organized schedule,
they have a routine that they follow precisely every day.
They have a very particular focus of what they wanna do,
and they just do that in the same way.
And then of course,
there's inevitably stuff that pops up regularly,
and you're just like, "What now?"
Although the way I covered it up, it looks like 'hat now.'
It's like your mom's trying to take you outside
during the winter, and she's like, "Put on a hat!"
And you're like, "Hat now?"
But you'll have a routine you try to follow every day,
and then suddenly something manages to pop up
and ruin the routine.
Your baby starts crying.
Your friend has a meltdown and needs you to comfort them.
Now the interesting thing about, where did they go,
that makes this kind of 'what now' sort of thing
different for these types
is that it tends to be like the same thing
over and over again.
They're like, "Dude, the baby keeps waking up at this time.
"Dude, the toilet keeps exploding."
What the heck?
It's almost like these annoyances
are trying to become a part of your routine somehow.
Now, these types, they like to predict stuff.
They like to see things coming way down the road
and be like, "Oh man, yeah, I knew that Ginny
"and whatever his name is, were gonna break up."
"I knew that that business
"was gonna do really well and make me a lot of money."
And they are very good at predicting things.
But the annoying thing about these types
is that they constantly get surprised.
They'll be so focused in
on predicting something big over here
that this other thing over here seems to come outta nowhere.
And unlike these types which we talked about,
it's like, "Oh, what now?
"It's this recurring issue."
With these types, it seems like totally random,
out of nowhere, totally chaotic.
"How could I have ever predicted this was gonna happen?"
I was able to predict that this business
would do really well,
but I was totally surprised and caught off guard
that this other business totally flopped.
"How could I have predicted
"that the people would come to mow the lawn a week early
"while I was filming?" (laughing)
Thanks for watching,
and until next time, stay cool and attractive.
