  Speaker 1: wondered what kind of first impression you have on people?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Thanks to the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, or MBTI, one
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of the most popular and widely used personality tests in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the world, you can have a better idea not only
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: about who you are, but also about who other people
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: perceive you to be. Here is why people might be
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: intimidated by you according to your personality type. Number one, ISFJ,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the defender. Known for being friendly, generous, supportive, patient, and reliable,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: some people may feel intimidated by an ISFJ's uncommonly kind
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: nature and wonder, why are they being so nice to me?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: What's in it for them? Well, the answer is nothing really.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: ISFJs just love helping people for the sake of helping them.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: ISFJs are open, nurturing, and gentle people with no ulterior
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: motive in sight. Number two, ESFJ, the caregiver. Also called
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the console, ESFJs might be intimidating to other people because
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of how effortlessly likable and popular they tend to be.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Social butterflies who everyone wants to be friends with. They're charming, friendly,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and confident. They make life look so easy and fun
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that it's hard not to envy them, but even harder
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: not to love them because of how bubbly, loyal, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: lovable they are. Number three, ISTJ, the logistician. If ESFJs
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: are the vibrant and outgoing life of the party, ISTJs
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: are the complete opposite. They are reserved, dutiful, rational, and steadfast.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: If you're an ISTJ, people are most likely too intimidated
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to approach you because of how matter of fact you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: tend to be. You might also seem a bit harsh
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and cold-hearted because of your tendency to value truth and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: logic more than emotional needs of others. But hey, there's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with being a pragmatist. Number four, ESTJ, the executive.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: One of the most intimidating personality types out there. High-achieving
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: perfectionists ESTJs aren't always the most approachable of people because
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of how strictly they uphold the rules, impose order, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: expect everyone else to do the same. They believe in tradition, organization,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and authority, which is why they have the tendency to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: come off as a bit bossy and controlling at times.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Number five, ISFP, the adventurer. Creative and free-spirited. ISFJs can
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be intimidating because of their constant need to reinvent themselves.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's hard to really get to know an ISFP because
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: who they are is constantly changing. Spontaneous and adventurous, ISFPs
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: love to experiment, which can be intimidating for those of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: us who like to play it safe and stay in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: our comfort zones. They love to push the boundaries when
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it comes to social conventions because they value passionate, artistic self-expression.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Number six, ESFP, the entertainer. One of the most outgoing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and lively people you will ever meet, ESFPs just ooze
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: confidence and charisma. They are irresistibly bold, vibrant, and original.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ESFPs also revel in being in the spotlight, and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: spotlight loves them too. armed with excellent people skills and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a talkative demeanor. ESFPs can seem a little intimidating to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: those of us who aren't as confident in social interactions
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and prefer to listen more than we speak. Number seven, ISTP,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the virtuoso. Known for their fiercely independent and results-oriented attitude,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: ISTPs aren't usually intimidating. In fact, they're often very fun-loving, energetic,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and easygoing. But, In times of serious need and dire situations,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: when everyone else has already started panicking, you can expect
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: them to stay calm and on top of everything. Decisive, determined,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and always in control. ISTPs love thinking on their feet
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and leaping before they look because they're fearless and thrill-seeking individuals.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So befriending an ISTP is definitely not for the faint
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of heart. Number eight, ESTP, the Entrepreneur. one of the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: most perceptive of all the personality types. ESTPs have an
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: uncanny knack for reading people, which can be a bit
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: unsettling for those who prefer to stay closed off and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: guarded about their feelings. Mysterious and observant, ESTPs could easily
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: become master manipulators if they wanted to. Luckily for us, though,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they have no interest in playing mind games. They prefer
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to be open, honest, and direct. There's never any beating
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: around the bush with an ESTP. Number nine. INFJ, the advocate.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: INFJs work tirelessly to save the world and make it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a better place for everyone. Kind, compassionate, and altruistic, INFJs
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: are peace-loving diplomats with a lot of emotional depth. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: this introspective, still waters run deep kind of nature can
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be intimidating for some. especially because INFJs are very hard
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to get to know. They value their privacy a lot
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and tend to seem a bit distant and guarded, even
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: with their closest friends and family. Number 10, ENFJ, the protagonist. Next,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we have the ENFJ, who most people tend to find
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: intimidating for the opposite reason as INFJs. ENFJs are so
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: authentic and genuine that it kind of catches a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of us off guard. Big-hearted and empathetic, they live to

  Speaker 1: inspire others and love taking on the role of mentor,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: supporting their loved ones and providing boundless encouragement. On bad
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: days though, they can come off as a bit condescending
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and patronizing. Number 11, INFP, the mediator. Although they're often
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: seen as thoughtful, innocent, soft-hearted idealists, INFPs have a dark
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: side too. they can be incredibly rigid in their unrealistically
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: high expectations of both themselves and their loved ones. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: if you ever go against their beliefs or fail to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: live up to their idealized version of you, they will
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: most likely begin to distance themselves from you or hold
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a grudge against you for not being the person they
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: thought you were. Number 12, ENFP, the campaigner. If ESTJs

• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and highly creative, ENFPs love to challenge the usual way
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of doing things and going against societal norms. They permanently
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: live outside of the box because they think life's too
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: short to be boring. Number 13, INTP, the logician. An

• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, no one loves a good debate more
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: than an ENTP. And for some people, that can be
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a bit off-putting. to always have everything you say and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: think challenged, but ENTPs don't mean any harm by it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: They just love attacking and defending ideas at every angle,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: taking them apart only to put them back together again.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Number 15, INTJ, the architect. Rational, independent, and self-possessed, INTJs
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: are often viewed as intimidating for the very same reasons
• 7:52

• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of what they want, how to achieve, and stick to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it no matter what. But this decisiveness, competence, and strong
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: sense of efficacy can easily be mistaken as arrogance too.
