- Welcome back to the Koffee Korner, spelled with a K,
'cuz we're having fun on this channel.
You know when you meet someone
and you're just taking aback like, wow!
This person is really something.
It's that je ne sais quoi,
that thing that's a little different about them
that you're really amazed by.
In fact, it can be so intense
that it's intimidating. (thunder rumbling)
Each of the 16 personalities has their unique flare
for how they can be intimidating
in this intriguing and charismatic way.
How is your personality type intimidating?
Stay tuned to find out.
Oh crap, my phone is ringing. (phone ringing)
Sorry about that.
Hello?
Oh, it's a sponsored message from Curology.
Hey, welcome to the desert.
Thanks, do you have fun and games here?
No.
Dang it.
I'm seeing some fine lines.
Do not draw a parallel between this desert and my face.
Okay.
Don't do it.
Ah, you gotta have a skin care routine
to keep your face looking youthful for years to come.
Oh my gosh.
Imagine if this desert had regular moisturization.
Well, it wouldn't be a desert.
Exactly.
What is happening?
You only get one face, care for it.
How did you do that?
I'm a wizard, Larry.
My name is Chuck.
Chuck, sorry.
We do fun and games here, though.
Oh cool, like what?
Like I got this cool deck of cards.
The cost of a face transplant is very high.
I looked into it for myself,
my insurance won't even cover it.

Now back to my regular content.
Okay, intimidation, let's start with the ESFPs.
ESFPs can be viewed as scatterbrain,
irresponsible, too focused on the moment at hand,
ever inspired admiration in others.
Yeah, I get it.
However, the thing that makes ESFPs
a little bit all over the place
is exactly the thing that makes ESFPs
in their element so intimidating.
ESFPs are highly self-motivated
when in pursuit of something of value to them,
something that resonates with their core.
Now, while the haters may say
that ESFPs won't devote themselves to something long enough
for them to make much progress,
what's really happening is that ESFPs
are making sure that they'll never get stuck
or trapped in a low-value situation.
So what makes the ESFPs truly intimidating
is their ability to always get up when they get knocked down
because they have to have the best, they do not settle.
A similarly underestimated type is the ENFP.
Well, yes, ENFPs do in fact make the best hot chocolate
because they never forget the sprinkles.
With this type, there is more than meets the eye, player.
ENFPs can be deeply conscious
of the most important questions in life
because asking what if and why helps them in their pursuit
to identify what truly matters to them.
If you're unaware of this side of ENFPs,
you might doubt that these creative, quirky characters
are trying to reach deep self-awareness and understanding.
But watch out!
If there is any type that can quickly detect
that you aren't taking them seriously, it's the ENFP.
The way that ENFPs often mask their clever
and insightful nature under a layer of humor and charm
makes them genuinely intimidating
When you see this next type
pull up in their shiny red sports car,
you might think they're just a flash in the pan,
a spark with no fire. (lips vibrating)
But don't let that surface level glitter fool you,
because the ESTPs are one of the most
cunning types out there.
That's something like Guy Fieri says all the time.
But don't let that fool ya,
where the people are crappy and the tacos are worse,
but don't let that fool ya.
ESTPs are always pursuing principles
that they believe to be self-evident.
Therefore, they are usually seeking practical information
and knowledge that pushes their reasoning
to the to breaking point.
While ESTPs are often associated with grandiosity
and glamor without death,
it is their drive and hunger to learn that educates them
not just practically, but also socially.
I mean, man, when you see how quickly
and intelligently a ESTP sorts out
what the best outcome is from a simple conversation,
the intimidation factor is impossible to miss.
Don't let their trolling fool you
into ignoring what they're truly up to,
the ENTPs might play the silly devil's advocate
but their wit and intelligence are real, real intimidating.
ENTPs are cognitive explorers.
Cognus--
Cognonauts.
I was trying to make a word on the fly, it didn't work out.
They're always seeking new existential territory
to map out and define.
They're constantly delving into absurd what-if questions
just to see if it yields anything new and interesting.
In fact, no one is quite as curious or daring as the ENTP
in their need to reveal and discover the truth.
They're compelled not just to expand their consciousness
but to also expand the thoughts and ideas of others.
So ENTPs will discuss and debate with anyone
who can possibly keep up with their overwhelming curiosity.
So if you really wanna know
the intimidating side of the ENTP,
just stand between them and the truth.
This next type likes to hide behind cookies and smiles,
but just about everyone has a story
about the ESFJ's social acumen.
ESFJs are cultural advocates,
and therefore, are constantly sampling and testing
the waters for what is popular, valuable, or fascinating.
In pursuit of the latest trends,
they'll bond and connect within anyone and everyone.
The ESFJ reveals their true nature
when they start instructing everyone around them
on how to keep up and compete to be cool and popular.
You might even say cool and attractive.
Before you know it, you'll find yourself performing routines
and rituals you usually never would've considered
because the ESFJ knew exactly what to say
to make it seem alluring and appealing.
The intimidating aspect is that not only is it easy
to just let this helpful character have their way,
you can't quite find a way to say no,
because the cookies are really that good.
Masters of the emotional realm,
ENFJs are one of the most subtly
intimidating extroverted types.
ENFJs are often seen as ambassadors
for meaningful discourse
when it comes to understanding the human condition.
Their role as gurus and confidants leads them
to having a huge social circle
and wide pool of people to analyze.
That's right, you thought they were just your friends,
but they are putting you under a microscope.
Not literally, of course, that would be a little weird.
But you know, it's not just their charisma
that makes ENFJS intimidating.
The real intimidation occurs
when the ENFJ aims all their attention
onto you individually.
When they get out that metaphorical microscope
and start looking at you, because a microscope--
Pretty sure what I'm doing is a telescope,
but you get what I'm saying.
So an ENFJ's genuine curiosity and warmth
can get anyone to give away their most guarded secrets
without any effort on the ENFJ's part.
I mean, watch out, watch out when you get around an ENFJ.
It wouldn't be incorrect to assume that ESTJs
are naturally intimidating,
but it would be far from sufficient to leave it at that.
ESTJs are symbols of law and order,
champions for getting things done
and getting them done right.
If you forget the lamb sauce,
an ESTJ is gonna be all over you.
These drill surgeons, if you will, naturally gravitate
towards finding environments that are struggling
to function and operate well in order to fill the void.
Bossing people around isn't their only method
to make things operational, though.
And in fact, they often use that tactic
less often than you think.
(giggles) But don't let that fool ya.
ESTJs can easily end resistance
to their plans and procedures
because their gift is considering every single detail
that could stand between them and success.
Once you consider how much work you're not seeing
that the ESTJ is doing automatically behind the scenes,
you'll realize how intimidating this type truly is.
This next type
is one of the most stereotypically intimidating,
but there's always more to understand
when it comes to the ENTJs.
The ENTJ is synonymous with insight and ambition,
and they delight not just in tackling large-scale problems,
but also in investigating
and studying other people, like you.
Oftentimes, this type is the problem solver
for everyone they know.
Cutting to the heart of issues with sharp precision.
So what ENTJs do is they take a problem
and they simplify it down into an easily understood concept.
They'll be like, this is basically the heart
of what is going on here.
They boil it down.
And the more this happens,
the sharper and clearer their insight becomes.
While they project a commanding
and problem-solving exterior,
the mind of an ENTJ is always looking
for the fastest way to master their environment.
They don't waste time getting caught up in the small stuff.
It is this mental acuity that makes them
one of the most intimidating on this list.
Thank goodness they're the rarest type, am I right?
To learn more, you can click the card
whooshing above my head right now.
Wow! (giggles)
ISFPs might be one of the most introverted
and self-aware types.
But rest assured, even they have an intimidating side.
ISFPs are so self-aware
because they're slowly contemplating what enriches
and fascinates them at a profound level.
Occasionally observing outside of their point of view
to expand their zone of contemplation.
The factor that transforms this type
from the soft-spoken artist to imposing and intimidating
is their values being crossed or disrespected.
ISFPs, they can't stand the disrespect.
Their complex and multifaceted value system
accounts for every decision the ISFP needs to make.
If they feel as though the world, or you,
is not aligning with their beliefs,
they will bring the full force of their emotions out
and champion their morality.
This moral valor is what makes ISFPs so deeply intimidating.
When you see the ISTP fly by on their homemade motorcycle,
(giggles)
you may consider them more daredevilish than intimidating.
But don't let their recklessness fool ya.
ISTPs are deep thinkers with a ravenous intellect.
They are always seeking a new challenge to incorporate
into their philosophy of how the world works.
While most people consider large bombastic personalities
to be intimidating,
this type is a master at chilling imovability.
ISTPs know that no one is gonna go
to the depths of reason the way they are.
And when they finally decide to stand on what they believe,
they will never back down.
This ice-water-in-their-veins attitude
is not only cool and mysterious,
but also deeply intimidating.
The astute observer can see how rich
the INFP's inner world is from their imaginative flare,
but many people miss their hidden intensity.
Widely considered to be the most emotionally intense type,
the INFP is, on the surface, placid and agreeable
with a core of internal strength.
They gently venture out of their inner fantastical world
to consider curiosities and strange queries
peering into the human condition
from unique and intriguing angles.
The INFP's intimidating factor is revealed
when this internal emotional strength is challenged.
Because they know their insight into human nature
can cut deeply into others,
they hold themselves back as long as they can
until their boundaries are crossed.
Only then, once irredeemable lines are crossed,
will the INFP bring someone down to the depths.
The emotional insights INFPs can bring into a conflict
is truly formidable and intimidating.
I would not suggest going there.
The mistake many people make when assessing INTPs
is only seeing them looking for anti-procrastination tips
and not them in their element.
INTPs in their element are sharp, analytical thinkers,
considering problems and situations
from many different angles
to both question and reinforce their sense
of what and why something is true.
In getting to know an INTP,
you'll start to learn the intricacies
of their understanding of the world around them.
The sheer dedication and brain power required
to maintain a cohesive and intricate worldview
is a daunting task.
But INTPs are up to the challenge.
If someone questions their principles,
all of the critical thinking they've developed
is suddenly aimed at answering
this intrusive line of questioning.
The mastery that INTPs have
over defending their intellectual castle
is truly intimidating.
ISTJs construct operational systems by slowly adapting
to what works for others, on a pragmatic level.
This pushes them to always consider
what problems need to be addressed
and how to implement rules and structure
to prevent that specific issue from arising again.
This deep level of focus is where they stand out
compared to all the other types.
ISTJs can and will go to incredible lengths
to close the door on any problem
they can see in their environment.
The resulting actions they take are so methodical
and meticulous that their system is basically air tight.
Their commitment to excellence cannot be rivaled
and is intimidating to even the most productive types.
Broadly considered one of the most discerning types,
there is no doubting that the INTJ is intimidating,
but it's just a matter of defining why.
INTJs slowly build an understanding of how the world works
through deep analysis and meditation
on what works at scale for a variety of people.
Their need results in carefully trimming away
the fallacies and irrationalities of experience.
And so all that's left
is their fully developed understanding.
Like I said, with the ENTJ,
they are just boiling down their experience
to get to the essence.
INTJs might be slow to get moving,
but they are truly attempting
to understand the world around them
in both a personally meaningful way
and a useful and productive way for others.
So when an INTJ locks onto an idea
that they consider valuable
and they believe will help others in the future,
they become laser-focused and imovable
in trying to accomplish their goals.
This unstoppable drive towards progress
is the core factor behind what makes the INTJ intimidating.
The common compassionate demeanor of this next type
hides their intimidating aspect.
But ISFJs can be a force to be reckoned with.
ISFJs build their gentle and relaxed vibe
by carefully constructing routines and rituals.
This process is shaped by their sensitivity
to the way others respond emotionally
to the environment that the ISFJs has created.
So the intimidating aspect of the ISFJ
is how unyielding their systematizing it.
Their steady affection is nearly impossible to resist
because they understand how distressing it is
to be disturbed or knocked off kilter.
So they slowly integrate their way of doing things
into your environment.
The truly intimidating thing about this type
is you'll eventually be catering to them
and the structure they have created
without even realizing you're doing so.
INFJs can be generalized as too patient and understanding,
but it's these very traits that make them intimidating.
INFJs slowly build an understanding
of why the human condition is how it is
through careful consideration and contemplation
on what is valuable to the masses,
just studying human behavior at scale.
Their compulsion to do this
results in steadily trimming away those inconsistencies
and abnormalities of experience, boiling things down,
until all that's left is their fully developed concept.
This is my singular concept of what makes people tick.
Their constructed perception of how and why humans behave
and believe what they do is fundamental
to how INFJs navigate through their day.
This makes them not just hyper aware
of what others need and desire,
but also excellent at articulating why it's happening.
The subtle and delicate management INFJs use to help others
and themselves through meaningful
and philosophical struggles is intimidating in its efficacy,
but also in its subtlety.
A lot of times you won't even realize
what the INFJ is doing.
You might be wondering which of the 16 personalities
is the most misunderstood.
Well, watch this video right here for the answer to that.
Thanks so much for watching.
And until next time, stay cool and attractive.
Traits can be misinterpreted
by the other types, misunderstood.
A misblunderstanding, if you will.
But which type out of all 16 is likely to struggle the most
with this feeling of being misunderstood.
