- Watch out, it's dangerous around here.
Now, each of the 16 personality types has strengths
that set them apart from the other types,
but what happens when those strengths
aren't used in the most responsible way?
Today we're gonna be looking at
what makes each of the 16 personality types dangerous,
what inclinations each personality type has
that can spiral out of control and make them a threat;
because, that's right, everyone is out to get you.
That's a Frank James philosophy over here.
First up is the ESTP, the epitome of living for the moment.
Being a hands on practical thinking type
who leads with extroverted sensing,
ESTPs are never afraid to jump into the action.
Sometimes trouble finds them but more often than not
the ESTP is an instigator, a wild child, if you will,
who doesn't wanna be held down by arbitrary rules
or even rules that are not arbitrary,
rules that are perhaps well thought out.
Their intellect is nothing to smirk at either,
if you try to put a problem or obstacle in their way
they're gonna take the introverted thinking time
to equip themselves with the knowledge they need
to overcome it.
That's what extroverted sensing
plus introverted thinking is all about,
let me gather new knowledge of the real world
and use it to solve whatever problem is in front of me.
What makes them truly dangerous is their fearlessness,
so never tell an ESTP, "You won't do that."
Never tell ESTP, " Come on, punch me,"
'cause they're gonna do it.
Sounds pretty dangerous, huh?
Next up is the ESFP, and much like the ESTP
this type lives in the moment
better than all the rest of the types,
but instead of following their thinking side
they live life based on what they value.
This can be dangerous
because the ESFP could decide to stand up
and rush into a fight
over something that doesn't even make sense,
as long as it's something they know
deep down in their hearts is worth fighting for.
Plus, ESFPs are independent
so it's very hard to talk them out of something
that they've already decided to do.
When you think of how an ESFP can be dangerous
think of the young brash hero in a movie,
eager to rush into adventure
or stand up against the villain,
even if it might make sense to maybe not do that,
maybe don't do that thing
that makes the whole movie worth watching.
ESFPs might be the underdog sometimes
but they can always channel that energy
into pure willpower and action to get what they want,
which sounds pretty dangerous to me.
With the ISTJ we have a type
who will kill you with the details.
So, imagine walking into a courtroom as a defendant,
some people watching are like,
"Oh, man, I don't need to imagine that."
Hello to all my viewers in jail right now.
Imagine you robbed a candy store or something,
you just had to have the sweet candy
but you couldn't pay for it.
You might think you have a good alibi
but the ISTJ prosecutor already knows everything about you
and has spent countless hours studying the evidence.
He knows about all your fingerprints
all over the life-sized M&M guy at the candy store.
Nothing you can say can get through their iron defense
because they know all the facts of the case inside and out.
That's what these types are great at,
you give them a small number of facts,
they'll go over 'em over and over and over again
and they'll be like,
"Okay, I know that from every angle.
I can create a case outta this, no problem."
Now, an ISTJ might be more likely to follow the rules
which you would think would make them less dangerous
but, here's the thing,
they know the rules way better than you do
and they know how to use the rules to get what they want,
and what they want is to put your butt in jail
for stealing candy.
I don't know where I came up with that.
Now, when you think of an ISFJ the word dangerous
probably isn't the first word that comes to mind.
Every type has their trigger though,
the thing that they will throw hands for,
the thing that makes them dangerous.
So, for ISFJs, what makes them dangerous
is their fiercely protective mindset.
The ISFJ will go into beast mode
to preserve and protect what is important to them.
I mean, on the 16 personalities website
aren't they call like the defender or something?
This is why.
Now, if you don't threaten their way of life
or the happiness of their sphere,
like the people around them,
you'll likely think that the ISFJ
is one of the most pleasant types,
but as soon as you cross the line
the protector comes out and will spare no one.
Wow, sounds pretty dangerous.
The ESFJ, on the other hand,
is more proactive in their actions.
ESFJs, their like royalty of the social landscape,
they know what's going on, they know who has social status
and they know what they need to be doing
to get the status that they want.
I mean, most of the time the ESFJs
aren't necessarily trying to climb that ladder,
but they they know all about it.
What makes the ESFJ dangerous
is that they can use their social influence
to lift you up to the top of that social ladder
or push you down to the bottom.
It's all about connections baby,
and the ESFJs are likely to have more connections
than anyone else.
While the EFSJ is direct in their social tactics,
the ENFJ can be a little more subtle in their approach.
ENFJs are just as in tune with the social landscape
as their cousins, the ESFJs,
but their key strength lies in their charisma and influence.
An ENFJ can convince a group of people
that a certain goal might be in their best interest,
which if used responsibly can be great for everyone.
Like, "Hey everyone, we should all contribute
to this project for the betterment of our community."
But you know what,
that power can also be used irresponsibly.
So, you can see how in that scenario
it could get pretty dangerous pretty fast.
It could be like, "Hey, let's all contribute to this project
to ruin this person's life."
Wow, dangerous stuff.
Now the ESTJ's approach to being dangerous
is pretty straightforward,
they will just put in the work and the effort.
ESTJs are masters of productivity and organization
and that is how they get what they want from the world.
Other types might stop for breaks
or complain that a system is broken or be like,
"Oh, I need lunch, I need a sandwich, please, oh."
But the ESTJ says, "No!"
They're like, "No matter what system or challenge,
I can climb to the top through sheer force of effort."
In fact, they may pick up the pieces of a broken system
that one of the other whiners are complaining about.
The INFJs are like, "Oh, no," being unnecessarily mean.
The ESTJs will be like,
"Yeah, it's broken, let me see how I can fix it,
and then I'm gonna use it to my advantage
'cause I'm gonna know the system
better than everyone else 'cause I put it back together."
To me that sounds kind of dangerous.
Being life's natural commanders
ENTJs have a forceful personality
and the natural ability to organize.
Unlike the ESTJ they tend to be more oriented
towards focusing on a plan or creating a system.
So what this means is that they will organize
people and resources, or sometimes people as resources,
and direct them all in the direction
of the outcome they want.
That is right, they will direct them in the direction.
whether it be conquering a country like Napoleon
or conquering the office
like a hypothetical ENTJ in an office.
the ENTJ will have a clear vision of what they want
and the resourcefulness and drive to get it.
This makes them dangerous
because they will utilize whatever tool they need
to achieve whatever it is they're setting out for.
They don't stop at nothing.
That seems pretty dangerous.
Now is ISTPs aren't as impulsive
as they're extroverted counterparts,
but they aren't afraid to jump into the deep end
of any problem they come across.
The is ISTP's real strength
is in their ability to use their introverted thinking
to dissect any problems they come across,
and then use their extroverted sensing
to find a quick and practical solution.
It is their desire not only to understand
but also to act in the face of challenges,
that makes them dangerous.
ISTPs are probably the type most able
to solve practical problems on the fly.
This is opposed to like social problems,
they're not gonna solve social problems on the fly.
But think about the fictional ISTP character of James Bond.
Any situation he is thrown into,
he is able to get his way out of it
and send his enemies into a world of pain,
because if he didn't the movie would be over
and we can't do that because it's a very successful series,
very lucrative or the studio makes too much money.
James Bond, he cannot die.
So one moment ISTP
could be crafting a new mechanical invention
and the next moment they could be using it on you,
dangerously.
Dude, that mechanical invention seems very dangerous.
I am getting nervous!
(laughs)
Now, INTPs love to push the limits of ideas.
Now, an age old question among scientists is,
"Just because you can, should you?"
In other words,
just because something is possible for us to do,
like say, I don't know, create an atomic bomb.
Should we do that?
I'm not sure this is the best idea.
But for the INTPs the answer is, "Yes, why not?"
Not because they're trying to be destructive, necessarily,
but it's just 'cause they wanna know
and they wanna be like, "Can we do do it?
If we can we should try."
I mean, after all, until an experiment has been completed
we can't really know what the outcome will be.
This makes INTPs dangerous
when they take it to that extreme.
For a less existentially, dreadful example,
imagine Dr. Frankenstein and has monstrous creation.
"Should we sew together a bunch of body parts
and reanimate it?
Probably not, but I am doing it, let's go."
The Halloween costume licensing
is just too much money to pass up.
Frank, I don't understand these jokes today.
The dangerous INTP is willing to push the limits
of what should normally be done,
if it will allow them to get to the answer
of whatever problem they are trying to solve.
If you actually read the book Frankenstein, though,
it's a lot less about a scary monster
and more about how the monster feels isolated from humanity.
Is Frankenstein's monster in INTP?
I don't know but either way, it sounds dangerous.
Now, ISFPs have a unique type of danger,
ISFPs are dangerous because of their idle-like influence.
So, their goal is to be 100% uniquely themselves
at all times, and if the cards fall right
this means that people can fall head over heels for them,
obviously you can fall head over heels for anyone
but the ISFP is especially dangerous
because ISFPs, they're not trying to trick anyone.
We're not talking about like an ISFJ,
they're like, "I'm just acting out
what I think people wanna see," blah, blah blah.
No, ISFPs, they're actually being
100% authentic to themselves
and they're acting in a representative way
of what they truly believe in.
SF types, they're dealing with a communication
that is very gut level, S, reality, the facts, F, feelings.
So, ISFPs, they're acting authentically,
they're being truly themselves,
they're communicating it in a way
that anyone can understand,
they're feeling it on a gut level, it's getting dangerous.
The reason their personalities tend to be so strong
is because not only do they have a strong FI identity
but they also act out their identity and values
through extroverted sensing,
which is obvious and easy for anyone to understand.
This can make ISFPs feel very down to earth,
you just get who they are.
And there are few things more dangerous
than a person who is so magnetically authentic
that people will do anything for them,
perhaps even rob a candy store.
Now, because of their intuition,
the INFPs are motivated by their ideals
and when they believe something is right,
even if it's abstract and not easy to explain,
people do everything they can to live up to those ideals.
They channel their emotions into their actions
and, as we know, emotions don't need to follow
the rules of logic,
as such their pure unfiltered feelings
can allow them to accomplish things
other people didn't think they could.
Oftentimes you'll see INFPs who are kind of like
maybe shunned a little bit or like sent off,
he's all off on his own and then they blow up in popularity
or they accomplished something major
and everyone's like, "Whoa, where did that come from?"
But it's not all fun in games over here people,
were talking about danger, okay.
So, a dangerous INFP who exemplifies this is Kylo Ren
from the recent Star Wars movies.
He is fueled by emotion
and a desire to live by what he feels is right,
even if it's not necessarily good
or right for everyone else.
What makes INFPs dangerous
is their ability to completely dedicate themselves
to whatever cause they feel is important,
even if it's clearly going to cause issues
for everyone around them.
ENTPs are life's natural mad scientists,
and much like the INTPs they're gonna share a love
for pushing the boundaries
of anything that they're trying to understand.
What makes the ENTPs unique
is that for them the experimentation
in and of itself is the fun part,
the action and the reaction.
It's not necessarily like,
"Let's try to figure out this puzzle,"
though that is part of it.
The ENTPs, they love the journey to get there,
they love all the twists and turns
and all the weird stuff we tried along the way.
Yeah, so it's like
if they get a better logical understanding
of a situation as a byproduct, great,
but the main fun for them is pushing the limits.
So, you can present them with a challenge
and 10 possibilities pop into their head
about how they can work around, over or through it.
They might not necessarily have a plan
but the dangerous thing is that, boy oh boy,
do they have a lot of random ideas they want to try out,
and at least one of them will probably work
and you certainly don't wanna be the person
on the other side of them.
Wow, pretty dangerous, huh?
ENFPs are the definition of chaos,
the type that cannot be contained.
Just as creative and idea focused as the ENTP,
they have a list of possible reactions to every problem.
Being a feeling type, though,
their ideas don't necessarily need to be grounded in logic
and can have a unique personal bent to them.
Basically, as long as they think an idea
is at the very least amusing,
they're willing to try it.
You'll be like,
"Why did you do that really random bizarre thing?"
And they'll be like, "I don't know, seemed funny."
Do you see the danger inherent in this?
A good example of this
is the fictional character of Harley Quinn,
is running around with a baseball bat,
a giant hammer, jack in the boxes and laughing gas.
Practical?
Is that really the best way to execute your plans of mayhem?
Not really but you definitely weren't expecting it,
were you?
And that is what makes the ENFP dangerous.
INTJs are life's natural masterminds,
they're introverted intuition
makes them tend to think about how things will unfold'
over a long period of time.
This allows them to have a detailed plan for any situation.
What makes the INTJ dangerous
is that they can be like a spider spinning a web,
always ready to catch prey, which is you in this scenario.
You may think you have them cornered, only for them to smirk
'cause you just fell right into their trap you dummy.
Imagine like a grand master chess player,
not just thinking one or two moves ahead
they're thinking 10, 15, maybe 20 moves ahead.
They're introverted intuition, extroverted thinking,
combination, that combo meal, if you will,
allows them to emulate
the logic of their opponent very easily.
They aren't just thinking for themselves
they're thinking for you too.
Wow, sounds pretty dangerous, huh?
INFJS have the same ability to forecast events as the INTJ,
except for them it tends to be directed at people
and their emotions.
INFJs naturally are tuned into
other people's desires and motives,
and this often makes INFJS adept
at knowing what words they need to say
and how they need to say them
in order to elicit certain emotions
or psychological reactions in another person.
This makes INFJs dangerous
because they can be the most subtly influential type.
They're not just gonna walk into a room and you're like,
"Oh, I can tell you're trying to manipulate me."
You will never know.
For the quintessential INFJ example of this
and how it can be dangerous,
take a look at the illusionist Darren Brown,
whose entire career is built on influencing people
to do what he wants.
You might not even know you're doing
what an INFJ wants you to do
and in some cases that's best for everyone,
after all, in the mind of a dangerous INFJ,
if you're happy and they get what they want
what's the harm?
Well, pretty dangerous stuff, huh?
Thanks for watching and until next time,
stay cool and attractive.
