- Warning, in this video, I'm gonna tell you
how to irritate each of the 16 personalities.
So, if you use any of the things I tell you in this video
and you get your butt kicked, I can't be held responsible.
That's on you.
So, when we talk about the 16 personalities,
a lot of times we focus on the strengths
and the weaknesses of each type.
However, the strengths and the wacknesses
aren't gonna be the first things you notice about a person.
I mean, what are you gonna do?
You gonna follow your friend around
with a clipboard and be like,
"Ah, it seems that you prefer factual data
to abstract concepts. Hmm, interesting."
I mean, (giggles) maybe you do that.
I don't know. I'm not judging.
What will probably jump out to you more quickly
about the 16 personalities is
that they all have their own unique frustrations
or flustrations if you're dumb.
For every type, there's an ick factor, a pet peeve,
something that undeniably irritates them.
It gets under their skin.
Something that makes them go, "Eww."
Understanding what can make a Myers Briggs types' skin crawl
truly defines the core experience of that type.
So we're gonna break this down by temperament.
If you wanna learn about what the four temperaments
of the 16 personalities are,
click or tap this video in the card above my head.
Starting off with the friskiest of ponies,
I'm gonna talk about what irritates the EPs,
or the extroverted perceivers, the mostest.
EPs are lovers of freedom, free spirits.
They're novelty seekers.
Their worst nightmare is feeling limited or controlled.
So, if you wanna ruin their day (giggles),
you wanna put at them in an environment
that denies them their greatest desire.
And each of the EPs has a unique version of,
"Oh crap, get me out of here."
So both the ENFPs and ENTPs struggle
with the sensory environment,
which means these types are both highly sensitive
to rules, laws, and policies
that restrict their freedom.
If you wanna irritate an ENFP,
figure out what their favorite, most loved thing is.
It could be an activity like watching a movie or painting
or maybe something like a particular song or a restaurant.
Then you snatch the love of their life away from them
and replace it with paper work.
The more detailed and bureaucratic, the better.
I'm not exactly sure (laughs)
how this would work in real life,
so a simple real world example is that
if an EFP is trying to watch Netflix
and they get the little ISTJ error message that says,
"We don't recognize your device.
You're gonna need to verify by going on your phone
and plugging in some kind of code",
they will die a little inside.
The ENTP is very similar.
If you wanna frustrate them,
you gotta find what ideas and topics
they find interesting or fascinating.
So many ENTPs, if we're gonna generalize here (laughs),
are obsessed with stuff like economics,
computer science, technology, the nerd stuff, you know?
These guys love the challenging puzzle
of large scale problems.
To properly irritate these guys,
you wanna hinder their access to puzzles
through years of red tape and mandatory meetings with HR,
to talk about their taste in memes.
Even just having to read through the terms and conditions
before installing new software, will get to them.
ESFPs and ESTPs, like their intuitive cousins,
also resist and reject being limited and controlled.
Their sensitivity, however, is towards the abstract realm.
So any irritation is gonna come from
not recognizing the subtle influences of intuition
in their daily lives.
So if you wanna infuriate any SFP,
uncover their most beloved experience,
like a trip to the beach with their friends,
or that one time they hiked up a mountain
and watched the sunset and it was like, "so beautiful,
it was the best experience ever, man",
and then tell them that they only did that thing,
they only hiked up that mountain
because they watched an advertisement
about hiking boots one time when they were 12
and it suddenly influenced them (giggles).
I just get such joy out of irritating people, I guess,
I don't know.
To alienate an ESTP, dig for the topics that intrigue them
and awaken their curiosity.
And if you do this right,
they'll begin to tell you the theories
and ideas that they'd never tell anyone,
those ideas that they hold close to their heart,
what (laughs), but then, you drop a truth bomb on them.
Someone else already had that idea 10 years ago
and the ESTP didn't even notice
that they had just copied and pasted it.
Okay, now that we've ruined (giggles) four types' days,
let's move on to the born to be managers, the EJs.
The EJs are community minded,
so they're aware of, and in touch with
what works and matters to everyone.
The worst nightmare for this group
is failing to make a difference in others' lives.
Both ESTJs, and ENTJs struggle with their personal emotions,
which means these types both are
highly sensitive to overthinking
and overreacting to their own feelings.
To irritate an ESTJ, you wanna identify
their particular zone of fascination and interest,
which, for this type, tends to be topics like
law or accounting,
if we're (giggles) just generalizing here.
Usually it should relate to structures that affect everyone
and require a great deal of problem solving.
They really love the problem solving.
Then you'd sit the ESTJ down
and you ask them, "What is so important about this thing?"
Remember, how important something is,
is the realm of feeling.
So don't let the ESTJ
obfuscate the discussion with work they could do,
keep the conversation focused on their personal investment.
They will not like that.
They will be sweating bullets.
The ENTJ is very similar,
but their interests usually tilt towards
stuff like business and marketing.
When you talk to them, try to see what's under the surface.
The ENTJ has a long-term dream.
Something they really want,
but they believe that they can't have that
without working hard first for others.
So to properly irritate these guys,
you should point out how,
even with all this long-term foresight,
they still might not get what they want.
Bonus points if you tell them,
"Why not go for what you want right now?"
ESFJs and ENFJs, like their thinking cousins,
also struggle with their personal beliefs.
This is due to their limited investment
into the reasons behind their own beliefs,
creating a shaky foundation.
If you wanna infuriate an ESFJ, ask them about their plans.
You'll notice they start talking
about what matters to everyone else
and how what they're planning also matters to everyone else.
"Oh, man, Billy told me these plans were really great
and they were awesome"
and Sally said, "Oh that's a really cool thing
that matters to me."
So, you push the envelope and say, "But does that future,
that thing you're planning, really work for you?
Do you have any reasons, your own personal reasons
for why this is a good path for you?"
And if you get burnt cookies
next Christmas from them, don't say, I didn't warn you.
For the ENFJs, get them talking about their friend group.
They'll start sharing everything about everyone,
painting a picture about who each friend is
and why they are that way.
ENFJs are so busy building others up,
that they don't realize how much it eats away
at their own personal development.
So, if you wanna alienate them,
which is what we're trying to do in this video,
ask them if they even agree with what their friends think
and watch them start charging their friends
for the free therapy they've been giving.
In part dos, we'll talk about how to irritate
the rest of the personality types.
Stay tuned.
All right, let's make way for the perennially (laughs)
the perennially nervous, the IJs.
Ah, man, the IJ types, they're security-minded.
They're aware of, and in touch with,
what makes them feel comfortable and at ease.
The worst nightmare for this group,
is having that sense of tranquility disrupted.
Both INFJs and INTJs struggle with the sensory environment,
which means that these types both are highly sensitive
to tiny flutters of chaos in their physical environment.
To irritate an INFJ, you wanna identify
their particular zone of fascination and interest,
such as, I don't know, what (giggles) do INFJs do?
Writing literary analysis on a book they've read
or just something like people watching.
Generally it should relate to understanding
and puzzling out the human condition.
Then what you gotta do,
is somehow cause a power outage (laughs)
to kill the wifi.
The resulting chaos will so thoroughly exhaust an INFJ,
that they will be in a coma for a week.
R.I.P. (laughs).
Like I said, warning, big disclaimer,
I'm not responsible for (laughs)
any comas you put people into
if you use the advice I dispense in this video.
The INTJ is very similar.
If you wanna frustrate them,
find what secret thing they love,
but they won't admit,
usually this is something that sparks their intuition,
that lets them play in the fantasy world of their minds,
such as complex allegories or symbolism in films or novels.
So to properly irritate these guys,
point out all the different ways their fantasy world
doesn't work or doesn't apply to their given situation
and wait for the existential crisis to begin.
I've found a lot of INTJs
are into playing Dungeons and Dragons.
I don't know (laughs),
that's just my personal anecdotal observation.
If you can just point out things about D and D
that don't make sense, that should it.
ISFJs and ISTJs, like their intuitive cousins,
also try to manage and limit chaos in their lives.
Their frustrations are more connected
to trying to manage infinite possibilities
rather than literal disruptions in the real world.
If you wanna infuriate an ISFJ,
ask them about the most important
and enjoyable ritual that they have.
The best ones are the rituals and routines
that they maintain, to make other people
comfortable and content.
All you have to do is ask them, "Why?" over and over again,
while rejecting the answers that involve other people.
"Why do you volunteer at that soup kitchen, ISFJ huh?
Why? Why?
You don't have a good answer for me, huh?
Give me one good reason" (laughs).
To alienate an ISTJ, dig for the rituals and routines
that keep their life running efficiently and effectively.
You'll know you're on the right track
if they start proudly trying to teach you
how to implement this thing yourself.
Like, "Oh, here's how I fold my shirts".
So, this is when you deliver the punchline, ask them,
"Why does this matter?"
And watch the frustration explode.
"Hey, ISTJ, I'm getting along fine
folding my shirts this other way.
You know, what you're showing me
doesn't seem to be very valuable at all" (laughs).
Last but not least,
we have the coolest of the cats, if you will, the IPs.
The IP types are very aware of and in touch with
what makes them different and unique.
The worst nightmare for this group is losing themselves
to the whims and desires of others.
So, both ISFPs and INFPs are deeply connected
to their own sense of meaning and value.
They struggle if they ever have to bend
those deep-seated values, in order to work with others.
So to irritate an ISFP, you have to get to know
their real dreams.
Not just what music recommendations they have,
but the real motivations behind their decision.
You should hear them discuss
how important it is to them
to accomplish their dreams.
So then, just ask them to explain,
"Why are your dreams gonna work out
just the way you want it to
because you really haven't planned any of this out?"
The steam will erupt from their ears.
For the INFP you'll wanna get to know the fantastical dreams
that bring them joy.
Yes, INFPs do feel joy.
They aren't just depression memes.
Their dreams are often connected to specific experiences
that spark their imagination to new heights.
So, if you wanna annoy an INFP, continually point out
how impractical every aspect of their dreams are,
but only do that if you're ready to be featured
in their upcoming poetry slam.
ISTPs and INTPs, on the other hand,
are centered on their own concept of truth.
They resist connecting with others emotionally
to protect those personal truths.
If you wanna infuriate an ISTP,
ask them about what gets their mind going.
So with enough careful prodding,
you should be able to get them to open up
about how they built their own computer
or they love working on their motorcycle
or about the latest problem they need to solve at work.
Then, you point out how every other ISTP
does the same exact thing,
so, "Why are you so unoriginal?"
To alienate an INTP,
ask them about one of their personal projects
and why it's so important to them,
then, in the middle of their spiel,
about how to make a perpetual motion machine,
or (giggles) why they prefer Python over Java,
or whatever nerds talk about, ask them,
"But does anyone actually want that?"
When they insist that it's obviously interesting,
this thing that they're working on,
you can counter back by saying,
"Just 'cause it's interesting to you,
does not mean that other people will find any value in it."
And boom goes the dynamite.
How does these personality type use intuition differently?
To hear more about that, watch this video here.
Thanks for tuning in
and until next time,
stay cool and attractive.
