Taking a personality test

Hey, and welcome back to another screen

recording video. Haven't actually used

this microphone for a long time. Starting

to think, was this a waste of money? So

someone commented on a video saying that—

suggesting that I take this personality

test. Um, where is it? Oh, here it is.

I think I've actually taken it before a

few years ago, but I can't actually

remember what my results were. So

apparently we can get a freakishly

accurate description of who you are and

why you do things the way you do. Sounds

amazing. No registration required. Let's

just jump straight into it. So, um,

takes less than 12 minutes. That's good.

Answer honestly, even if you don't like

the answer. Try not to leave any neutral

answers. Okay, let's get right into

it. You find it difficult to introduce

yourself to other people. Strongly agree.

I never introduce myself to people. You

know, this kind of people who just go up

to a stranger and say, hey, I'm blah blah

blah. I just can't do that. You often get

so lost in thoughts that you ignore or

forget your surroundings. Strongly agree.

There's so many times at work I forget

what I'm doing or I make a mistake because

I'm like daydreaming. My body is at work,

but My mind is 100 miles away.

You try to respond to your emails as soon

as possible. Well, I don't really get any

emails. No one emails me. The closest

thing I can say is Facebook Messenger. I

always reply straight away. It's because I

have nothing else to do. You find it easy

to stay relaxed and focused even when

there is some pressure. I don't

know. I'm not really the kind of person to

get stressed out in a stressful situation.

For example, when the gypsies, the Irish

people, came shoplifting, I wasn't really

stressed out. I didn't really care. I was

just hoping that it was gonna end soon.

So I'd say something like fairly

agree. You do not usually initiate

conversations. Agree. I never initiate

conversations. I find it so awkward and

uncomfortable. You rarely do something

just out of sheer curiosity.

Um, I'd say disagree because sometimes

I do do weird things just to experiment.

Like, I got that wig, didn't I? I bought

this microphone, I bought that webcam just

to test it out. You feel superior to other

people. Oh shit, I don't know if I should

be— a lot of you are probably gonna hate

me after seeing my answer to this. I'd

probably say Agree. I do feel like I'm

better than other people. I don't know

why, I just kind of look down on people

sometimes. Not on everyone, but let's move

on. Being organized is more important to

you than being adaptable.

That's difficult. I'm gonna have to have a

think about that. I don't know, I don't

really feel like being organized is that

important, you know, just go with the

flow. So I I do disagree. You are usually

highly motivated and energetic.

Highly disagree. Strongly disagree.

No, I'm not highly motivated. Maybe one

day out of 7 days I'm highly motivated.

Winning a debate matters less to you than

making sure no one gets upset.

Yeah, strongly agree. I'm not really

confrontational. I just let the other

person win the argument if it makes them

shut up. You often feel as if you have to

justify yourself to other people. No,

I don't really care what other people

think. I don't really feel like I need to

justify myself. Your home and work

environments are quite tidy. Strongly

disagree. My room is a complete mess. I

haven't tidied it for a long time. You do

not mind being at the center of attention.

That's tricky. If it was on YouTube, I

would enjoy being the center of attention.

But if it's real life, I would really hate

it. So I'd say

moderately disagree. That's tricky. If

it's like a real-life social situation,

I'd absolutely hate it. Or would

I? I'm not sure. I think I put slightly

agree. You consider yourself more

practical than creative. Definitely

disagree. I feel like I'm a very creative

person. People can rarely upset you.

Strongly disagree. Then the poor guy

upsets me pretty much every day. Not

really upsets me, but irritates me. Your

travel plan— your travel plans are usually

well thought out. Strongly disagree. I

never plan anything. I just go to the

country and just get on with it. It is

often difficult for you to relate to other

people's feelings. Strongly agree. I find

it very hard to relate to people and

empathize with people. Is that the right

word? Sympathize. I find that very

difficult. Your mood can change very

quickly. Strongly agree. Definitely.

Sometimes I feel really happy and

energetic, and then sometimes I feel like,

oh, what's the point? Everything's shit.

Nothing's going to work out anyway. Might

as well just give up. Then other days I'm

like, yeah, I want to do this. I want to

make this video. I'm going to do this

drawing. I'm going to make a new website.

I'm going to start a new webcomic. And

I want to give up everything. In a

discussion, truth should be more important

than people's sensitivities. Yeah, I'd say

agree, because when I'm having a

conversation, I like to be very truthful

and not, not like, oh, is this— am I gonna

hurt this person's feelings if I say this?

But usually I, I try not to hurt people's

feelings just because it gets really

awkward, but In reality, I really want to

talk 100% truthfully. I think that was the

proper answer. You rarely worry about how

your actions affect other people. I'd say

disagree. I do think about how my actions

are going to affect other people. Your

work style is closer to a— your what?

Your work style is closer to random energy

spikes than to methodical and organized

approach. Yeah, definitely agree.

Uh, you are often envious of others.

Not really.

Um, I guess I'm envious of other YouTubers

who are more successful, but other

than that, I don't really care. I'd say

moderately disagree.

Uh, change it to a bit more disagree. An

interesting book or video game is often

better than a social event. Strongly

agree. Video games are— video games over

social events any day. Being able to

develop a plan and stick to it is the most

important part of every project. Strongly

disagree. You don't know what's gonna go

wrong. Plans need to be changed. You can't

just make a plan and stick to it 100%.

You have to adapt to the situation. Wow,

we're only 40% of the way through and it's

been 7 minutes. Let's get— let's get a

move on. You really get carried away by

fantasies and ideas. Disagree. I'm always

getting carried away. You often find

yourself lost in thoughts when you are

walking in nature. Yeah, I don't really

walk in nature. I guess my garden is kind

of like walking in nature, isn't it? If

someone does not respond to your email

quickly, you start worrying. Strongly

agree. If they don't reply to me straight

away, I start feeling like— I start

thinking, do they hate me? Why aren't they

replying? What are they doing? I can see

you online. I saw you read my message. As

a parent, you would rather see your child

grow up kind than smart.

Um, yeah, I guess being kind is important,

but being smart is also kind of important.

You do not let other people influence your

actions.

Strongly agree. I usually make decisions

by myself, not influenced by other people.

Your dreams tend to focus on real world

and its events. No. Is that

like my dreams, aspirations for the

future? Was it the dreams that I see when

I'm sleeping? I'm gonna say sleeping

dreams. No, my dreams rarely focus

on real— on the real world. It's usually

like weird fantasies, weird sexual stuff

that I shouldn't really talk about. It

does not take you much time to start

getting involved in social activities at

your new workplace. Strongly disagree.

Nope. The only reason I'm going to the

Christmas party is because they're really

insistent and I don't really have a good

excuse not to go. And I'd rather go to the

Christmas party than have to spend more

hours at work with the bloody Nepal guy.

You are more of a natural improviser than

a careful planner. Um.

I don't know. I've never really been in a

situation where I have to plan something

or where I have to improvise. I'm not

really a careful planner.

So definitely go with a natural

improviser. Your emotions control you more

than you control them. Strongly agree.

Definitely. Sometimes I get into really

bad moods and it just completely ruins my

day. You enjoy going to social events

that involve dress-up or roleplay

activities. I've never been to one.

Although I do find it fun dressing up,

even though I've never actually dressed up

before. It's a confusing one. You often

spend time exploring unrealistic and

impractical yet intriguing ideas.

Sometimes. Not really.

You would rather improvise. There's a lot

of questions about improvising and plans,

isn't there? I've already said I'm more of

an improviser than a planner. It's like

the 3rd question about the same thing.

You are a relatively reserved and quiet

person. Yep. If you had a business, you

would find it very difficult to fire loyal

but underperforming employees.

Yeah, I would actually. I'd be like, oh,

I don't want to fire this person. You

often contemplate the reasons for human

existence. All the time. I'm like, why do

humans exist? Why do we exist? The whole—

if the whole purpose of life is to create

more life, then we're just— it's just like

a never-ending cycle creating more life.

What's the end goal? What's the endgame?

What is the point? Logic is usually more

important than heart when it comes to

making important decisions. No, disagree.

I always make decisions based on my

emotions, how I'm feeling. Keeping your

emotions— keeping your options open is

more important than having a to-do list.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. If

your friend is sad about something— I

don't have any friends, so this is gonna

be tricky. You are more likely to offer

emotional support than suggest ways to

deal with the problem. I don't know.

I, I've never really had this happen to me

because I don't really have any friends.

I've never had friends open up to me about

emotional things where I have to give them

I'd say I would give them emotional

support. It's a hard one. I'm not really

sure. You rarely feel insecure. Strongly

disagree. I always feel insecure. You have

no difficulties coming up with a personal

timetable. Strongly agree. It's another

one about planning, isn't it? Being right

is more important than being cooperative

when it comes to teamwork. Nah, I'd say

just, just suck it up and agree with the

other person and get— try and get along.

You think that everyone's views should be

respected regardless. Yeah, I guess

that's true, even though I think that a

lot of things people believe or think is

stupid. It doesn't mean that they

shouldn't be respected, even though I

don't personally respect what they believe

in. Yeah,

I'll just go with agree. You feel more

energetic after spending time with a group

of people. Disagree. You frequently

misplace your things. Not really. Doesn't

really happen much. You see yourself as

very emotionally stable.

Disagree. Your mind is always buzzing with

unexplored ideas and plans.

Not really. You would not call yourself a

dreamer. No, I am a dreamer. You usually

find it difficult to relax when talking in

front of many people. I don't know, does

doing YouTube count as talking in front of

many people? But there aren't any people

in front of me right now, so I don't think

it counts. Right now I feel very relaxed,

but if it's a real-life situation and

there were a group of people in front of

me, I would find it very difficult to

relax, so I'd say agree.

Generally speaking, you rely more on your

experience than your imagination.

Um, rely on your experience for doing

what? I'm not sure.

Generally speaking, I guess I'd go with

experience. You worry too much about what

other people think. Yeah, I guess so.

When it comes to appearance, I definitely

think I worry too much about what people

think. But when it comes to things like

being a responsible adult and learning to

drive and getting married and stuff like

that, I really couldn't care less what

other people think. So that's a tricky

one. So I go disagree.

Yeah. If the room is full, you stay closer

to the walls, avoiding the center. Agree.

I'd stay right in the corner. You have a

tendency to procrastinate until there is

not enough time to do everything.

Um, no, I like to

get things done before I run out of time.

You feel very anxious in stressful

situations. Yeah, definitely.

You believe it's more rewarding to be

liked by others than to be powerful.

But then if you are liked by others, then

you can become powerful. So if

you're disliked by everyone, then it's

going to be harder to become powerful. So

I'd say I would agree. You have always

been interested in unconventional and

ambiguous things. Not really.

I don't know. I don't really understand

the question. Uh, this is embarrassing,

but what does unconventional mean?

Maybe I shouldn't be showing you this.

This is embarrassing.

Bloody Yahoo search is useless. Take me to

Google.

Not based on— not based on or conforming

to what is generally done or believed.

Yeah, I'd say I'd be interested in that.

You often take initiative in social

situations. Disagree. Whoops. No, wait,

wait, wait, wait. I didn't do the last

question. Fuck. How do I go back?

Um, okay. Let's just look at our results.

Pretend that didn't happen. So my

personality type is mediator. I don't know

what that means. I am 91% introverted.

That's no surprise. I am 76%

intuitive. What?

I'd say I'm more observant than intuitive.

I don't know.

Meh. Nature. I'm more of a feeler

than a thinker. That's true.

Tactics. Prospecting. I don't really know

what that means. My English sucks. This

trait reflects our approach to work

planning and decision-making.

Oh Google, please help me. I don't know

how to speak English. Prospective meaning

expected or expecting to be the specified

thing in the future. What the hell does

that mean? Oh, a prospective buyer.

Someone who's expected to do something.

Oh, I hate English sometimes. I still

don't understand what this means.

Identity turbulent. What the hell does

that mean? They didn't explain anything.

This trait underpins all others, showing

how confident we are in our abilities and

decisions. Why is this

all grayed out?

Oh look, J.R.R. Tolkien is also a mediator

just like me. I'm like William Shakespeare

and Tolkien and Björk, whoever the hell

that is. Ugh, Johnny Depp.

Uh-huh. I thought there's like a

description of my personality. Well,

there is. It's down here, but it's all

greyed out. All right, start reading.

Mediator personalities are true idealists,

always looking for the hint of good in

even the worst of people and events.

Searching for ways to make things better.

While they may be perceived as calm,

reserved, or even shy, mediators have an

inner flame and passion that can truly

shine. Comprising just 4% of the

population. No wonder I feel so alone. No

wonder I feel like I'm such a weirdo,

because there are only— only 4% of the

population are like me. 96% of everyone

else is just completely different to how I

Am. The risk of feeling misunderstood is

unfortunately high for the mediator

personality type. That's extremely true.

I always feel misunderstood, like no one

understands me. Everyone's all responsible

and grown up and mature, and they drive

cars and they get married, but I feel like

I'm completely different to that.

That's why I don't like people, because I

find them all really different to me, and

I find it hard to relate to them. But when

they find like-minded people to spend

their time with, the harmony they feel

will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It sounds

pretty accurate.

Mediators are guided by principles rather

than by logic, excitement, or

practicality. When deciding how

to move forward, they will look to honor,

beauty, morality, and virtue.

I don't know about honor. I'm not really

an honorable person. I mean, I shoplifted

from my own shop, for God's sake.

Mediators are led by the purity of their

intents, not rewards and punishments.

I don't know about that. And one of the

main motivations of doing YouTube is for

money, which is the rewards. That's kind

of bad, isn't it? I don't really see— I

don't really think it's bad having money

as a motivation. We know what we are but

know not what we may be. At their best,

these qualities enable mediators to

communicate deeply with others, easily

speaking in metaphors and parables,

understanding and creating symbols to

share their ideas. Fantasy worlds in

particular fascinate mediators. Yeah,

that's definitely true. More than any

other personality type, the strength of

the visionary communication style lends

itself well to creative works, and it

comes as no surprise that many famous

mediators are poets, writers, and actors.

What about artists? I don't do any of

these things. I guess I do act sometimes

in my cringy skits. Understanding

themselves and their place in the world is

more important to mediators Yeah,

that's true. I do feel like that's

important, understanding who you are.

Hey, look, this is funny. Mediators'

ability with language doesn't stop with

their native tongue. My ability with my

native tongue is terrible. You saw me just

look up the meaning for unconventional and

prospective. Uh,

as with most people who share the diplomat

personality types, they are considered

gifted when it comes to learning a second

or third language. That's true. I do speak

Japanese pretty well and Korean not too

badly. Their gift for communication also

lends itself well to mediators' desire for

harmony, a recurring theme with diplomats,

and helps them to move forwards as they

find their calling. And the last section,

listen to many people but talk to few.

Unlike their extroverted cousins though,

mediators will follow— focus their

attention on just a few people, a single

worthy cause, spread too thinly, they'll

run out of energy and even become dejected

and overwhelmed by all the bad in the

world that they can't fix. This is a sad

sight for mediators' friends who will

become— who will come to depend on their

rosy outlook. If they are not careful,

mediators can lose themselves in their

quest for good and neglect the day-to-day

upkeep that life demands. Mediators often

drift into deep thought, enjoying

contemplating the hypothetical and

philosophical. More than any other

personality type. Left unchecked,

mediators may start to lose touch,

withdrawing into hermit mode, and it can

take a great deal of energy from their

friends or partner to bring them back into

the real world. Yeah, that does

sound a bit like me, I guess.

Um, luckily, like the flowers in spring,

mediators' affection, creativity,

altruism, and idealism will always come

back. Rewarding them and those that they

love, perhaps not with logic and utility,

but with a worldview that inspires

compassion, kindness, and beauty wherever

they go. I feel like I'm listening

to one of those videos made by that

channel School of Life. Don't know if you

know about it, where they always talk

about philosophical things. I don't really

understand what most of that meant, to be

honest. But it's pretty accurate about the

whole introverted side and losing yourself

in your thoughts and not really be

interested, not being interested in people

and just like focusing your attention on a

few people instead of a large group of

people and feeling

misunderstood.

I don't know how accurate this 4% is, but

I would definitely say people like me are

very rare. I've never met another person

who is like me. Every time I meet people,

they're always really outgoing and

sociable and extroverted. That's why I

don't get on with people.

Oh, so that was kind of fun. Oh wait, we

have number 2. All right, we're not done

yet. We're not done yet, guys. Hold on,

hold on. We still have, um, strengths and

weaknesses. Idealistic mediators' friends

and loved ones will come to admire and

depend on them for their optimism. I don't

know about this. The unshaken belief that

all people are inherently good. I think

most people are, are not good most of the

time. You know, they're just greedy and

they think about themselves all the time,

and you don't know when they're gonna lie

to you or stab you in the back. I don't

believe people are inherently good.

I believe some people are good and a lot

of people are bad. Lends itself to an

incredibly resilient attitude in the face

of hardship. I don't know about that.

I'm kind of negative and pessimistic more

than idealistic.

Seek value in harmony. People with the

mediator personality type have no interest

in having power over others. That's true.

I don't care much and don't care much for

domineering attitudes. That's true. Yeah,

I'm more democratic.

Open-minded and flexible, a live and let

live attitude. Yeah, that's true. They

dislike being constrained by rules. 100%

true. Mediators give the benefit of the

doubt too, so long as their principles and

ideas are not being challenged. That's

true. They'll support others' right to do

what they think is right. Very creative.

Mediators combine their visionary nature

with their open-mindedness to allow them

to see things from unconventional

perspectives. Being able to connect many

far-flung dots into a single theme, it's

no wonder that many mediators are

celebrated poets. What about artists?

Artists are creative as well. It's always

about the bloody poets and authors, isn't

it? Passionate and energetic. When

something captures mediators' imagination

and speaks to their beliefs, they go all

in, dedicating their time, energy,

thoughts, and emotions to the project.

Their shyness keeps them from the podium,

but they are the first to lend a helping

hand where it's needed.

I guess so. I don't really understand what

that meant. Dedicated and hardworking.

At work, I'm definitely not dedicated and

hardworking. I'm lazy and I cut corners.

But when it comes to my hobbies, Now even

when it comes to my hobbies, I'm really

lazy and I don't do things properly. So I

guess this is kind of hit and miss. I

mean, some of it is— some of it— some of

it is right, but some of it isn't right.

I'd say I would— I'm not idealistic.

I'm not optimistic. I'm pessimistic.

Very negative. I have an attitude where

it's like, what's the point in trying

because you're just gonna fail? Seek value

and harmony. Seek that— seek and value

harmony. That's kind of true, I guess.

Yeah, I'm very open-minded. I'm not

a traditional person. I'm very, uh,

what's the word, unconformist.

That's true. Very creative, passionate,

and energetic. Yeah, when it comes to my

hobbies, I am. This is definitely not

true. I'm not hardworking at all.

I'm probably the most laziest person in

the world. I really feel sorry for the

person who has to work for me or has to

employ me because I will cut every corner

that I can without getting caught or found

out. So let's look at our weaknesses. Too

idealistic. No, I'm not idealistic. Too

altruistic. Um,

remind me what does altruistic mean?

Damn, my English sucks.

Showing a disinterest and selfless concern

for the well-being of others. Oh, so why

don't you just write unselfish then, for

God's sake? I don't know about that. I

don't think so.

I'm not really a selfless person.

I'm very self-absorbed. I don't really pay

much attention to the people around me.

I'd say I'm very selfish in that regard.

Impractical. When something captures the

mediator's imagination, they can neglect

practical manners. I don't

think so. I make sure that I

get all the things that I need to do done

before I start something. If I need to

clean the kitchen, I'll clean the kitchen

and then I'll start my drawing or I'll

start my video. I like to get things done

before I start things.

Dislike dealing with data.

I'm not sure about that.

I really enjoy looking at the YouTube

analytics data, so I wouldn't say I

dislike dealing with data. You take things

personally. I always take things

personally. That's why I get so upset and

irritated by what people say all the time.

I don't know how to take things less

personally. I just feel insulted a lot

when someone says something that I

disagree with. This is why I don't

talk to people, because I get scared that

they'll say something that I completely

disagree with, and then I feel really

irritated. For example, if someone

starts talking about things that I like in

a negative way, like my dad does all the

time. My dad's really negative about

social media and technology and internet,

and it really pisses me off, to be honest.

I just— I don't talk to my dad about any

of my interests because he's so negative

Difficult to get to know. This is 100%

true.

People don't understand me. They just—

they think that I'm really quiet and

unfriendly and that I'm not interested in

people and they just get it completely

wrong because they don't take the time to

try and understand me. It's like with the

Nepal guy, we don't even talk anymore. He

just, he doesn't even talk to me anymore

because he probably thinks that I'm really

unfriendly and not interested in talking.

So yeah, I am notoriously difficult to get

Yeah, it does contribute to guilt. I do

feel really guilty for coming across as,

um, unfriendly to people.

But it's that I read this thing about

social anxiety disorder. It's people with

social anxiety. It's not that they're

unfriendly or they're not interested in

people. They have a desire to be friendly

and interacts with people, but it's the

anxiety that prevents them from being

friendly and talkative and outgoing. So

it's like you— it's like you want to eat

an orange, but you're scared of touching

the orange, if that makes sense.

Wow, this video went on for a long time.

I was expecting it to last like 10

minutes. I wasn't expecting it to last

this long. So yeah, my results. I am a

mediator, INFP-T, whatever that

means. I'm a diplomat and my

strategy is constant improvement. 91%

introverted. Wow. That's kind of, um, I

don't know if I feel proud about that or

not. I guess I am. I do feel proud. About

being introverted. I don't feel ashamed.

I don't think it's a bad thing to be

introverted. I don't think it's like a

disease.

Yeah, so that was my results. Thanks, um,

what was your name? Minon-chan for

suggesting this for a video. And yeah,

if you want to suggest videos, you can

suggest videos. Just leave your

suggestions in the comments and I will

Think about it. Thanks for watching.
