- How do the 16 personalities make decisions differently?
This was a question brought up very astutely by a commenter,
and I hope to answer it astutely as well.
When we're talking about decision-making
in the 16 personalities,
we're really focusing in on thinking and feeling,
those are the decision-making functions,
but it's not that simple
because there are two different kinds of thinking
and two different kinds of feeling, but don't freak out.
It's not as complicated as it sounds.
We're gonna walk through it.
Before we jump into this spicy 16 personalities content,
let's support this channel with a quick ad read
from this video sponsor, Morning Brew.
Typically when I wake up in the mornings,
I just stare at the wall.
But now in addition to that with the Morning Brew newsletter
being sent to my email inbox, Monday through Saturday,
I can get a quick rundown of the most relevant stories
in business and tech in five minutes or less.
Traditional news, I could take it or leave it,
'cause the traditional the news is just boring, depressing,
and intended to make us all afraid,
so we'll keep watching it.
But Morning Brew is written in a fun and engaging way.
And if I didn't emphasize it enough before
I love how it's just rapid fire.
Here we go, here's the Morning Brew from January the fourth.
They keep you engaged with funny pictures,
such as this one here,
which is my favorite meme of all time.
As you can see, it says popular meme in the caption.
If you're interested in business finance and/or tech
you really should be signed up for Morning Brew.
It's free and it takes 15 seconds to sign up.

Okay, so how do the 16 personalities make decisions?
Let's cut the BS.
Let's really get down to brass tacks.
Let's start with the thinkers.
Thinking is about what works,
what gets results,
what's logical,
what makes sense.
And there's two types of thinking,
introverted thinking and extroverted thinking.
So let's go over both of those.
Introverted thinking is generally preferred by the TP types,
the toilet paper types.
No, I'm kidding, like INTPs, ESTPs,
introverted thinking is not just let's do what's logical,
but what let's do what's logical to me.
When a function like thinking is introverted,
'cause we're talking about cognitive functions here,
we're getting a little bit
into the advanced personality theory.
When it's introverted, it's subjective.
And it's like, I've got to own this.
So for an introverted thinker
they feel like they have to own the logic,
like every part of it, it's got to make sense to them.
It doesn't matter if a bunch of other people say,
trust us, it makes sense, it gets results.
This is the right way to do this.
This is what everyone agrees is logical.
The introverted thinker's like, okay, that's cool,
I need to understand it now,
in order for me to sign off on this.
The introverted thinkers are like,
I am the final arbiter of logic and truth here.
Extroverted thinking on the other hand
which is generally preferred by the TJ types.
So extroverted thinkers don't need
to own the logic for themselves.
When a function is extroverted, it is objective.
So it's like, what is logical?
What's gonna get results?
I don't care if I necessarily understand the logic of it,
or that I came up with the idea,
or maybe even that I disagree with it.
I mean, extroverted thinkers will disagree with stuff,
but they're much quicker to come around to change their mind
'cause they're like, oh, actually I see that works.
And we're getting results here,
let's go with this.
The introverted thinkers, perhaps take a bit more time
because they really want to grasp what they're doing.
And while we're here, if you're enjoying this video

So then we move over to feelings.
So thinking is about what works, what makes sense,
feeling is about how do we value something as a good or bad?
How do we feel about it?
What kind of emotions does it bring up within us?
That's how we're gonna judge it.
That's how we're gonna make our decisions.
So let's start talking about the introverted feelers
which are the FP types.
So the introverted feelers
much like the introverted thinkers,
they're judging things in a way
where they have to be the final arbiter of it.
They have to be the one who fully grasps what's going on
and for feeling it's they wanna know what do I like?
What do I think is good or bad?
And they're judging things off of that.
They're not looking out to see
how do other people feel about it?
What do other people value about this?
It's like, no, I've got to own the value of it.
To me I've got to actually value it.
Extroverted feelers on the other hand
which are the FJ types,
they are much like the extroverted thinkers.
That's so much needing to own the feeling
and it's not so subjective to them.
It's objective feeling.
So it's like, how does everyone else feel about this?
Does everyone else feel happy about this?
Do they like it?
Does everyone else say this is good?
The extroverted feelers are looking for a spectrum
of how does everyone feel about this thing?
And we make decisions based off of
what's gonna make everyone happy?
Or what's gonna bring everyone to the feeling state
that we want them to be at,
which generally is positive.
So you can see there's some similarities here
between for instance, extroverted thinkers
and extroverted feelers,
it's like, we don't have to own it for ourselves,
how do we just get where we want to be?
The introverted feelers and thinkers though
they have to be the ones who are making the decision.
It's their inner compass
that's figuring out which way do we go.
