Four of them being in the ego, and the other four being in the shadow, also known as the unconscious. And he found that people have a primary and a secondary function, and we’ve been able to develop that out into a total of eight cognitive functions per mind. And that’s the most important thing about them.Ĭhase: Carl Jung realized that there is a primary and secondary cognitive sense, that’s what he called it when he first started this 100 years ago or so. Each one of the 16 types has a specific order, right. The eight cognitive functions are literally the best thing that you could actually be able to test with somebody because it’s so fluid, it’s a very logical order. Now in a perfect world, the ultimate test for someone’s personality would be the eight cognitive functions, absolutely. But he’s an ESTP.Ĭhase: So the other problem with these tests is that they don’t focus on cognitive functions. I have an ESTP friend of mine who always tests INTJ, no matter what he does. And I never actually tested what my actual type is, which is ENTP on these tests. And I got the INTJ, or the INFJ on my second go.

These tests are very long, and they’re very … Well they can give false positives.Ĭhase: I first took the test … The first test I ever took was the HumanMetrics test that you could find on Google. So they end up answering incorrectly on these tests. Or they’re not really honest with about how other people would view them. And they take the test in such a manner where people are just not really honest with themselves. People don’t really know themselves, or they’re insecure, or they’re immature.

And then we went into the temperaments, the four temperaments, and the four interaction styles.Ĭhase: So why do we do this? We did it because, again the test is very flawed. I first started this series, this 10 video series … I was planning on having it being eight, but extended it out by two more.Ĭhase: So we started out with talking about the MBTI test, and its flaws. How to type yourself, how to type anyone else. And we’ve been focusing on a series about how to type people.
