r/mbti user stumbles upon a "type me" post and shares his experience

00:00 - 00:05 I saw another "type me" post on r/mbti today. I figured sure why not. I'll take a stab at this

00:05 - 00:07 Most of the people on here are just mistyped ISTPs anyway.

00:07 - 00:10 And If they whine a lot I can just write ISFP instead.

00:11 - 00:16 Some guy in the comments wrote down ESTJ. OP asks why and the guy just responds with

00:17 - 00:21 Study the cognitive functions

00:21 - 00:24 "Just study the cognitive functions and all of this will make sense"

00:29 - 00:31 "Just study the functions some more!"

00:31 - 00:34 And the best part is...OP just kept saying "I know I'm not an Si user!"

00:38 - 00:40 "Just study the functions"

00:41 - 00:47 Then OP says, "I'm always walking into poles. How could I be an Si user?! I don't even like small talk. I can't remember what I did yesterday."

00:47 - 00:50 maybe OP is a goldfish. Or one of the aliens from men in black who had his mind wiped

00:50 - 00:56 Literally anything but a sensotard ESTJ.

00:58 - 00:59 After that he posted his results from keys2cognition

00:59 - 01:01 and IDRlabs

01:04 - 01:06 See guys! My function stack is Ni followed by Te!

01:06 - 01:08 The guy just responds again, "Study the functions some more"

01:13 - 01:14 "Just study the functions"

01:14 - 01:16 "It will all make sense if you study the functions"

01:16 - 01:20 Some stranger knows him better than he does after reading

01:21 - 01:27 a 5 paragraph blog post about how he when his pet hamster died.

01:35 - 01:36 Oh sorry I guess you're right then

01:36 - 01:39 I'll just study the horoscopes while I'm at it!

01:41 - 01:44 Nevermind that after 20 years of this the "cognitive functions"

01:44 - 01:47 Are completely discredited by the entire scientific community.

01:47 - 01:49 Doctors, shrinks, professors

01:50 - 01:53 But it doesn't matter. Because I can see them in people!

01:54 - 01:56 I can see them!

01:56 - 01:58 ...empirically!

01:58 - 02:02 Forget that there is no way to measure them. Or even test for them.

02:05 - 02:07 I'll just read a blog post and find them there!

02:10 - 02:11 I can see them!

02:11 - 02:13 I KNOW I'm an INTJ!

02:15 - 02:17 "Most Te-Si users like to argue!"

02:17 - 02:20 "So the fact that you don't agree with me makes you ESTJ even more!"

02:21 - 02:28 OP just kept digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole. He had 32 downvotes!

02:29 - 02:30 I didn't even realize..

02:30 - 02:32 There were even 32 people on r/mbti!

02:36 - 02:39 Most people take one look at mbti and then nope out...

02:40 - 02:42 I swear I came back to that post 5 hours later

02:50 - 02:55 They were still arguing about whether or not Carl Jung believed that Si users were "mystics"

02:56 - 02:58 And? Are they?

02:58 - 03:04 I don't even know what that means. I guess I need to study the cognitive functions some more...

03:04 - 03:09 Read up on my knowledge of Ne and Si.

03:09 - 03:11 And of course once I'm done with that

03:16 - 03:20 I can go ahead and make my own type me post one day!

03:23 - 03:26 I'll have to be sure not to include anything about my past
