Welcome back to the pod! Today we’re chatting with Eric Wen, who is an insightful INTP in the MBTI-YouTuber space. He also happens to be a good friend! As you’ll hear, Eric has a sophisticated knowledge of the 8 cognitive functions, as well as a nuanced approach to typing others. Check out Eric's work here: YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkMoreDeeply Website: https://learn.ericwen.com/foundations?utm_source=yt&utm_medium=vid&utm_campaign=kristin_podcast_2024 This episode was recorded 1.5 years ago, but I never posted it because I went into labour and have since been recovering from birth and early motherhood. It was an enjoyable listen-back for me, and I hope it will be likewise for you.   T I M E S T A M P S :  1:39 Tell us about your second channel, your website and why we should all visit you. 7:52 What is a common misconception about INTPs in the online MBTI space, and how would you like to correct that? 9:20 What does it mean to have inferior Fe, how does it play out in your life and what struggles do you have with it? 14:29 What personality types do you find most intriguing/to be the best fit for you? 17:23 How would you describe the INTP’s superpowers? 19:11 What are my (an ESFP’s) superpowers? 22:45 Do you believe that the shadow functions play any particular role? Should we even focus on them at all? 29:36 Debunk a bad take that you have frequently heard about MBTI? 31:06 I feel like I’ve never met an INTP, but I think I just have trouble recognising INTPs. Any tips? 32:28 Do you have siblings and what are their personality types? 34:34 How do you deal with feelings? 36:37 If I asked you, “how are you feeling right now?”, would you be able to answer? And how many emotions would you be able to identify? 40:16 How do we effectively translate cognitive functions into behaviours in order to type a person accurately? 41:41 I don’t know if I am an INTP or an INFP. What’s the difference between the two? 45:14 Can ENTJs and INTPs work well together? 46:46 As an ESFP, how can I connect emotionally with my INTP brother? 50:05 As an INTP, how do you stick to an idea and stay persistent and passionate about it? 51:44 What are some challenges that you face/think you have faced as an INTP? 53:44 What are some visible differences that you have noticed between the INTP and the INTJ? 55:48 How do you feel about Se? 58:13 How would you let your crush know that you’re interested in them? 1:02:02 How do you even know that you like someone romantically? How obvious is it? How long does it take for you to realise that you like them? 1:03:57 How do you know when you’re in love? How do you identify that as an INTP? (+ general discussion about love) 1:06:27 Did you initially mistype yourself? If so, which type and why? 1:08:31 Are any INTP stereotypes overblown? 1:11:37 Do you think that having an ESFJ father is a contributor to your social awareness? 1:12:50 Outside of MBTI, what personality system has been your favourite?   My links: Leave a comment on this video:  Main YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/dearkristin Instagram: @dear.kristin Theme music by Restless Mosaic.

Joyce's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarmrOHgveKHsaV6QejAZVw Book a Typing Session with Joyce: https://www.joycemengcoaching.com/ ⌛ T I M E S T A M P S : 5:40 What motivates you to keep producing MBTI content? 11:42 What are the xNFJ values? 14:38 How would you describe yourself? 15:18 Why do INFJs seem to “hold back” their true selves in conversation? 16:24 What can INFJs learn from Fi users? 17:02 This is the best word to describe an INFJ. 19:19 How do you define yourself? Does that shape your identity? We discuss INFJ insight and foresight, which then leads into a conversation about how trauma shapes us. 30:23 How does an INFJ experience their Ni as opposed to an INTJ? 33:44 A distinction between Fi and Fe 34:59 Can you give us an example of using your Introverted Intuition (Ni) on a day-to-day basis? 38:58 Realising that people aren’t as deep as you think they are. 40:06 Were you ever confused as to whether you were an INFP or INFJ? If so, how did you realise you were an INFJ? 43:39 Is it insolence if I tell people what their MBTI type is even if they get bothered by it? 45:40 Do you think we can consciously develop our 5th to 8th functions? 52:46 Do very easy tasks stress you out? 53:17 What’s something you dislike admitting to be wrong about? 53:34 Which types do you tend to best get along with? 55:17 What don’t you understand about ESFPs? 58:40 What are some INFJ stereotypes that you relate to and are there some that you’ve never personally experienced? 1:01:34 Do you like being the unpaid therapist? 1:03:18 How do you deal with being overstimulated by sensory experiences? 1:05:01 Can an INFJ become like an ESTP? 1:07:50 Why do INFJs have a martyr complex? 1:08:28 What types are you the most attracted to romantically and why? 1:12:14 Why do INFJs have poor Se in terms of body/action, but good Se in terms of style? 1:14:48 Ni doms don’t seem to experience anxiety issues. Is there a reason? 1:16:14 What’s the easiest tell between an INFJ and an ISFJ? 1:19:12 Be honest, do you have a superiority complex? 1:20:54 What is something about MBTI that you think a lot of people gloss over? 1:23:39 Could you tell us a little bit about the book you’re writing? 1:25:33 What is one thing you’ve learned about yourself in writing this book? 1:26:34 What is your pitch for Enneagram? Is it worth looking into for people who haven’t? 1:30:15 If you could choose one thing to tell the MBTI community about INFJs, what would it be?

Welcome back to the pod! Today, we dive into a heavier topic as I unpack the topics of trauma and MBTI, featuring questions from Cindy, Jackie and Tully. We explore the links between trauma and MBTI test results, type and treatment, trauma symptoms and healing, as well as some personal stories from myself.
