Hello fellow ENFPs! Want to learn how to kick the INTJ and INFJ's asses in a 20-40 time span? In this video, I talk about the advantages of using Ne over Ni if properly focused long term. Now, if you're an INFJ or INTJ, and have demon consume, do your best to watch the video first and don't make an assumption on what it is about, the content is helpful to everyone. If you have demon play (I'm looking at many INFJs out there), chill out, the video is not an attack, lighten up a little. Let me know what you guys think and if the concepts will help you in some way!

ENFP's won't kick anything. They lack the commitment and are too easily bored. Ni is focused and long term engaging.

4 areas? That must feel like hell for ENFPs, to limit themselves to only 4 areas. Also, by the time the ENFP reaches the mastery level in 40 years at 20, the INFJ will be 60 anyways, so who gives a shit anymore? Ni can actually be an expert at something and make money out of it, while Ne will master it by the time it is time to retire anyways.

So... ENFP kicking the ass of INFJ and INTJ? Well...



PS: very curious why he equates Ni to INTJ and INFJ but only equates Ne to ENFPs? This guy conveniently left out the ENTP out of the equation. ENTPs tend to be more successful than ENFP at many things. Maybe not arts... But ENTPs are way more focused than ENFPs despite being Ne doms. So biased. This video sucks and so does the half assed theory. I expected more.

The ass kissing at the end of the video has no redeeming qualities. Trying to manipulate the INFJ and INTJ into "hey, they can be so much better than us if they focus on multiple things", while knowing very well that Ni doesn't work that way. He litteraly starts the video with saying that Ni is bad because it can only focus on one thing. Then ends the video like this. Dude, get the f outta here, who are you trying to manipulate with this $%!+?

 


PS: Hate me, I don't care, I speak the truth and as I see it and I expect lots of saltiness to ensue.

I must say you have a valid point in focus and perseverence, @Respect. Not a bad strategy at all provided you do have the courage to be consistent, which is not everyone's cup of tea.

The only issue is by the time you almost catch us on a specific area we will already moving to next area and maybe level.

The better strategy imho is by using your people charm. Use them to kick our ass, i can assure you we will have a really hard time then.

:laughing:

I suppose the real question here is why you'd want to kick anyone else's ass other than your own ass from yesterday. If the joke is that you can develop a demon to exceed that of another person's savior in the long run, then sure. But that doesn't seem to be possible, given Ni/Si saviors will have naturally higher investments into control. Really the purpose of conquering your demons is to explore an area of guaranteed benefit in contrast to your saviors and then either praise/preach your demons to convey messages of how this can change other Ne/Se doms' lives in ways they cannot currently fathom until they put their heads down and cultivate it for themselves. Either that or just continuously grind toward a point of greatness and burnout.

Interesting video anyhow.

Ugg. I didn’t watch the video. I’m not reading the responses.

Why would you make content about this? Kick butts in what area? Why would I need to compete with anyone? Again, in what area? My priorities are not the same as my INTJ brother and although he has always competed with me in his mind, because competition matters to him, I want none of it. I want a loving mutually supportive relationship where we celebrate each other. .

Plus, Respect.... I don’t really see your Ne or Fi. I never have. The videos I’ve watched and your posts have shown very little of either to me. I’m finally being very honest on that. Of course that’s your area to look into.

This title :laughing: Alas, I bit. :computer:

I was not aware such a competition existed. :shocked: Although that's not true because everything is secretly a competition, but that's beside the point. And all along I thought each type brought different strengths to the table. The problem with saying "The problem with..." another function is that is your subjective opinion. I think your intention was to offer encouragement to ENFP on ways to strengthen Ne by trying to limit the number of interests you goofballs focus on. I don't think you meant to knock INTJ or INFJ and were being a bit playful too. :) All that said, your whole theory operates on the assumption that you have time. Time is not on your side, my friend. You have no guarantee you will make it through this week. Under this alone, WE WINNNNN SUCKAAAA! :) :exterminate:

Well I expected this to happen. Relax INFJs, I made the video in good fun, it's not suppose to be taken very seriously. The point I was making in the video is that Ni users tend to over focus on one area and neglect important areas in their life. For example, my INFJ sister has a tendency to over focus on Yoga which is great, but not enough to prevent health issues as you get older that you can only get from lifting weights, and doing different forms of cardio.

At the same time Ne users like ENFPs tend to be scattered all over the place and if we narrow down our focus to 4 areas, we can really make strides towards mastery.

@FreeKekistan - I'm sorry I triggered you but first, the video was made for an ENFP youtube channel; hence why the ENTPs are not mentioned. Next, I didn't say that Ni is bad, I said it's awesome because you get to master one area in 10 years faster than everyone. The point I made is when you're older, that's when trouble finds you as a result of neglecting other areas of life.

@Llyralen - The video was made as an irony, not as an attack to INFJs or INTJs. I love INFJs and INTJs, my really good friends are typically of those personality types. I was talking more about picking four areas of focus for ENFPs as oppose to 10+. And I was also mentioning that INFJs and INTJs would benefit from expanding their horizon a little by mastering more than one area. About the Ne and Fi, when you make a YouTube video where you're talking to a camera instead of interacting with another human being, the function interaction changes. If you watch Davesuperpowers and he talks about using "blast", it's an interaction between Te+Si so if you don't see me using Ne+Fi, it's because I'm not. If I made a video where I was interviewing someone, then I would definitely be using Ne+Fi more.

The video is obviously over simplified but it's a short video and my goal is not analysis but actionable effectiveness. Ti users like ENTP and INFJ would argue my point here but my goal is not a debate but long term effectiveness so you can be the top 20% of your personality type whether that be ENFP, INFJ or INTJ.

@INTJs - Glad you guys don't take this stuff personally!

First you walk back and then you double down?

Also, not triggered, I pointed out the flaws of the video. I don't know if it's you or not in the video and I don't care. I could have pointed out that the person in the video repeats himself a lot but that was not the point. The idea is what matters and the idea can be called out for being stupid, dumb whatever. See, my Ni's special power is the ability to attack an idea, rather than the person. So, next time when you're hoping around developing stuff, do spare one slot of those 4 in order to develop understanding the difference.

Also, not buying the "buh muh videoz wuz for ENFP". You chose ENFP and associated it with Ne, but when it came to Ni you associated the INFJ and INTJ. If you left out ENTP out of the equation so you can have your narrative or if you overlooked the ENTP and thus proving that your Ne wasn't paying attention to all possibilities, it still doesn't matter. I'll point it out. Anyways, I've explained why I think this is flawed from the start. Ne itself cannot restrain to 4 items. Just like Ni can't surpass 1 item at one time. Your theory falls flat simply because it tries to break the mechanic of how the cognitive functions work.

ENFPs excel at approaching life in their own way, there's no need to try to play at or compete with Ni types.
Ne+Fi = try this, try that, and finally land on something worth it to the individual.
It works out well enough for plenty of ENFPs, so no need for a self-help video trying to rewrite the playbook to act more like Ni types. :happy:

Everyone go eat ice cream.

This made me laugh. I don't know why but, the way you talk about the singular vs multi focus quantified over time just brought to mind this imagery of the yellow wind-up chic's we'd find nestling in the easter baskets of yesteryear. Ninininininninininininininini racing Nene Nene Nene Nene. :p


Functions are interesting but, they don't encapsulate us. Even within the theory (one amongst probably infinite ways of understanding ourselves) we've got 3 other semi-conscious functions scattered around the room and 4 more lurking in the closet. My point is that Ni/Ne doesn't actually show up like this, in reality We're fairly dynamic and multi-faceted as we all have to tackle many aspects of life (like more than 4), to some extent anyway. If you are an ENFP, where's your Fi? The whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking 'why? why do I even want to pit myself up in some competitive construct of 'mastery' that's been reduced to, not even real people but, a process they 'prefer'. It sounds like a fantastic way of ensuring authentic unfulfillment, tbh.

Silly, no offense. But props for putting yourself out there, fully knowing you'll gonna take a lot of shit. I admire that. And if I were going to make an argument on why ENFP's have an edge on the Ni-doms, it'd come down to Fi, having a good grasp on our deepest feelings, hopes, dreams, desires. If I had a penny for every INJ who obsessively pursued 'the vision' for decades, only to get smacked the fuck down by the harsh realization it did not bring whatever contentment they had hoped, I'd have like... 7 pennies or some shit. ;)

ENFPs lack any personal or corporate organizing principle.
INTJs, however, have the awesome power of INTJ CENTRAL COMMAND behind them :
meaning that we can take stock of which areas the INTJs are falling behind on, and
direct a few INTJs to concentrate on those areas until we level up;
and then send out scouts with the dreaded GlitterNKittens (TM) bomb to distract
the hell out of the ENFPs while we forge ahead.

...our only weakness is if the ENFP *women* use their feminine powers to blind us.

How do you track your level progress? And what happens when you marry an ENFP woman?

Very bad video, for reasons @FreeKekistan summed up quite well.

Why in the world is this whole thing framed in hostility? You label it as "beating/ kicking the ass" of IxFJs, the whole tone is competitive, and you even started this thread with "chill out, the video is not an attack, lighten up a little." You appear to be quite reflexive in that, like you're constantly expecting to be chewed out because it happens to you all the time. And well, if that's the case, I can clearly see why. Your whole approach is abrasive.

But 20's ENFP having patience and being committed to things for long terms? Pls provide examples because I don't know any.
*Raises hand.* Yo!

Bookmarked. If somebody still remembers Sailor Moon, they're most likely a boomer / GenX. :D Feel free to drop a message whenever if you ever want to discuss boomer stuff. Old people gotta stick together. /jk
