[@adambankoff8525]

As an INTJ I found it funny that I was interested in the first clip, and why he did what he did. It gave information that I found potently useful to me. In the second clip I lost interest very quickly. I felt more like"why are you telling me this, and how is that useful for me to know."

[@aprilbl00m]

That's interesting. I found the opposite. I am auxiliary Ne, tertiary Si, and I found the first clip sterile and boring. Too rigid. I was much more interested in Adam's setup and hearing what he had to say about individual tools and I liked that he was able to move the whole tool-caddy around and view it from all angles.

[@subtleGradient]

Yeah, that’s more about Oe (Se or Ne) vs Oi (Si or Ni). Adam needs more and more freedom and options. That’s his Ne. The INTJ guy’s Ni needs more and more certainty. So he wants to (literally!) nail down the things so they can’t possibly wander away. This is to avoid the Se chaos.

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

The Ne/Si, if I remember correctly, makes jewellery and so he's likely switching between tools a lot while sitting down and he needs more hand tools for the various crafts he does. Having a movable set up for tools makes more sense. I make jewellery and my tool kit is moveable (more so because I can take it with me so I can craft while at a craft fair). The other guy is using fewer hand tools while standing for construction projects and likely has his hands on them longer and so the board at arm reach level makes sense. I'm Ni/Se and so I don't think the movability is a function of type... it's a function of use/need.

@@emmadaily8052 , I'm an INFJ, and I don't see why story behind tools would be ever important, it just doesn't matter. The important part is what they potentialy can be used for and are they good quality tools(easy to use, doing their job properly, easy to maintain, long lasting).

[@DGolden247]

GimmeAspirine Si users don’t really do that for practical importance, although that matters too or otherwise they wouldn’t bother to build up such a liking for tools that don’t work, but the tool becomes personally sentimental to them, especially over a long period of time. I think it’s beneficial when it comes to comfort, like “you know this tool will work for this job because you’ve used this tool for that other job and it worked so well then so it must work now” sort of thing. Also in a broader sense, Si is really good to have when multiple generations are involved. The older generation can impart not only their practical knowledge but also their own culture, backgrounds, and identities into the younger generation, which promotes both easier memorization (the more personal something becomes, the easier it is to remember) and bonding between both generations. This is further beneficial for both because the older generation isn’t forgotten about and the younger generation knows where their family came from and as a result what they themselves are capable of. Having said that, I’m not saying Ni/Se don’t do something similar when it comes to passing down information throughout multiple generations, I’m moreso just extrapolating from my personal experience as an INFP who indulges their Si a bit too much. Also Se is definitely better to have when you don’t want the personal and just need the practical.

this ni/si distinction makes so much sense for me as an INTJ. I am hard to shop for because I don't particularly care about the gift that I get. If it turns out to be not that useful for me, and it'll just collect dust, I will end up tossing it even though I appreciated the gesture. The bit about ni/se putting importance on the layout and concept more than the details is especially relatable. When I was a kid and re-organized the furniture in my bedroom, I would explain how the new layout is more effective than the old, makes the room look bigger, is easier to walk through, etc. But when shopping online I get so frustrated about having to read about the materials used, the quality, what the differences are...its too many options. I just want what will work for me and what will look good, plain and simple.

[@morningstarhomestead]

This is why you often find Ni types are minimalists.

[@aprilbl00m]

That's interesting. People think of high Si types as very orderly (which they are in some ways), but I also notice that they tend to like a bit of "stuff", a bit of "clutter" around them. There is strong personal attachment to treasured physical objects. They feel comfortable and secure in their Si cave, surrounded by their favourite objects, and have a hard time throwing things away. On the other hand, Ni/Se users seem to be able to part with physical objects much more easily, which would make them well suited to minimalism. Getting rid of clutter isn't the agonising process it is for the Ne/Si user.

I think you can also see Ne in the layout too. Think about the first layout with the Ni user. It was stuck in one place and he considered the project finished. (if I need to make something with these tools, I can just bring the projects here). Whereas, Adam Savage's layout is on wheels. So he can jump from one project to another, bouncing in between, and bring all his tools along with him. And Adam talked about experimenting with the tool holder and did not consider the thing finished. Using Ne.

Depending on the objects in question, I organize by -category- art, movies, books- some categories may have subcategories but ultimately will be organized within their categorical area. safety (heavy/light/avoid possible accidents which could cause more work in the future that I don’t want to deal with) ease of access -if it’s part of something I have a specific order of use for, I may organize it a bit in order of the use- whatever I find easiest... and also aesthetically appealing for me as well (‘-‘ )lol so (color/ size/ or just way it fits together) while minimizing space used to maximize available space.

Idk if that style of scheduling is a typical Ni strategy but I hardcore related to the first workshop, lol.

It makes sense that the 1. guy didn’t go into details about each individual tool because he had no real person to share this talk with. The 2. guy on the other hand had a person to share this talk with in real life. I think it’s obvious that is not as much fun talking into an empty space as it is talking to another person. The viewers aren’t there to listen to him talking to himself for minutes it makes sense for him to stick to the actual important stuff like the layout. And I also think it makes sense that when you’re accompanied by someone you’re more likely to talk about details of each individual tool because that’s what you do after you understood the basic layout.

Best video I have seen differentiating Ni and Si for me. Thank you.

[@uncleankoytusrotbeast4466]

Si: Which carbonated soft drinks you want, Pepsi or Coca-Cola? Ni: Yes

[@alienlizardqueen8748]

Tommy from One Minute Workbench sounds Ti/Ni in his incredibly detailed reasoning process full of caveats. Ni steps in and makes it succinct (and a dupe for Te). I would also like to note both Si and Fe can form sentimental attachments to inanimate objects, but for different reasons. Si has a history with the object whereas Fe anthropomorphizes the object because it looks like a cute face or something... says the person who can’t throw out a rotting Jack-O-Lantern:)

[@debbieken5639]

As an ISFJ with lead Si and auxiliary Fe, this is true. I find it hard getting rid of old stuff because of the memories attached to each of them. I'd somehow find a place to keep them than throw them away. 😂😂😂

[@chadherbert18]

Awesome! I favour basic categories for tool organization with high adaptability because I don’t know how I’ll actually use them and I know that my collection is incomplete. Thus, adaptability becomes the long term winner, but some degree of in depth organization is good because it could take a long time before the current collection evolves... 😂

I think this video finally did it. I used to pitch this personality theory to all my friends, breaking down their demons and telling them about their subconscious weaknesses, but over the last few months I really started to lose that natural enthusiasm for it because I couldn't figure out my type. A long time ago I thought I was INFP, then it went ENFP, then this last summer I discarded ENFP (due to the fact that me and the other ENFPs I think I know are so outrageously different) and then I went INTJ. Since August I didn't have myself fully convinced that I was INTJ, and in the last week I started to suspect INTP (an idea I discarded for a long time I suppose). It started to fit me more and more and now, seeing this video, I know for a fact that I am Ne/Si as I get waaaaay too into my specific tools that are special to me. One of my things I do with people is show them all the fountain pens that I collect and love individually, and I know to lose one of them would have emotional repercussions specific to that pen. Literally half an hour after this video, I considered what it would mean for me to have Ti/ demon Fe, and I started having a series of flashbacks to points in my life when I said some insensitive shit and offended people, not because I meant to put them down, but because I simply just didn't consider other people's emotional needs. It was a subconscious assumption and those little pits I got myself into really stuck with me for much longer than they should have. I would think that this 'Si showing these specific things' extends to your other functions, so INTPs would love to share this Idea/Concept/Framework that really works for them, whereas an INFJ or maybe an ISTP (someone with Ni/Se instead) would be less about the specific idea and more about their journey organizing those ideas within them. Anyway, thank you for this video. It singlehandedly managed to make a lot of this personality theory that I was iffy about make so much more sense. It's a huge relief to know that this last year and a half of watching these videos is finally paying off

[@elainecary2884]

Oh shit! A couple of my friends typed me as ISFJ because I am meticulously organized and use systems. The difference is that my systems don’t have sentimental value. Si: “I organize based on my value of individual parts.” Ni: “I organize because it’s functional”

[@elainecary2884]

Mr. 8-Bit Doggo looks p douchey

[@Itsgonnabeok4]

I think the weird thing about them is how fast they talk

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

OMG 😂

[@Daymare89]

i was waiting for this one quite a long time :) thanks guys. and it was hilarious too 😂

[@attheranch873]

Specific examples like this help a lot.

[@mrjonjoe1895]

Good points overall but some problems here as with most of these reduced contrasted bits/videos. Firstly the context and goal of both videos are quite different, not worlds apart but meaningfully different. One is scripted and intended for outline, a how to general example while the other is dynamic in real time conversation with a person. You and Shannon overly give conditionality reason/parsing to Ni when that's arguably mostly Ti, yes, your Ti even if not front stack. Ni doesn't reason, Ni is not a thinking function so yours and Shannon's anecdotal examples of what you'd explain in your house seems to contain a lot of Ti in it. Mr INTJ 4d Ti, over active shadow Ti that never gets properly credited and instead Ni gets all the glory. Id just say caution with that. Also the personal *granpapi* details about tools and how special the individual tool is, that's not Si exclusively and it doesn't have to be Si at all. That's easily FI and definitely not Ti, Ti would give reasons much like you gave when you said Ni reasons/despite Ni not being a thinking function. You claimed Ti would make this personal stories worse, again Mr INTJ Dave, your understanding on Ti and attempting to definite it as something totally opposite from you seems to be clear. You think you're so distant from Ti, you refute your Ti and call it Ni. Then you start to attribute Fi reasoning to Ti in examples given.

[@mariah5060]

This cleared a lot of things 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@TwoFunPlays]

07:03 omg u got me XDDDDD that wall break was too good man xD that face ssays it all

[@free2Bmelissamarie]

HAHAHAHA this is awesome!! It reminds me of my mom (ISTJ) and me (ENTJ) talking about things such as earrings from Great Gma: Mom will know what date Gma got them, where she wore them or something like that, and I'll retain "these are Great Gmas earrings"...too much!!

[@RunKnitCoffee]

I've watched this several times and every time I'm pained at how much I relate to One Minute Tools guy, including his SLAP! signoff... >.

[@trevorfrayne6418]

After watching this, I'm confident I do not have Si.

[@Nohhbody]

I related more to NI. My "tools" are organized by function. Painting stuff here, wood carving there, everything else is in the big tool box on the shelf.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

I'D RATHER DIE THAN TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THESE TWO GUYS!!!

[@jp_channel1]

LOL 😂 as a Ni savior when a Si person talks I just hear rambling... just stop and get to the point please 😂 Maybe because of this Ni-Se users are better teachers and Ne-Si users are better craftsmen.

[@TheCorvusCoraxx]

I know it's an old video, but I would like to clarify something: It's not the "HISTORY" of the tools that matter in a literal way. It's the "CONTEXT" of the tool itself. Why is this tool here? Is there a reason for having it around? So, when someone asks for the "HISTORY" of a tool, it's not "just cause it's fun mate (: ", it's because we are looking to learn why did YOU choose this tool, in what situations was it USED before and HOW does it work, so that when we encounter one of those situations or have a similar problems to the ones on the "HISTORY", we can go and say "HEY! I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, I KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT! (: ". Si People have... very great memory, in my experience (: (INTP, just in case (: )

[@Leo-xz7tv]

Your Videos were so much better in the past. You showed stuff, you explained stuff. In this you two just sit there and ramble about a topic. As much as I like you too just watching a video, in the past the Videos were way more 'on the point'.

[@mindabobis7601]

Leo They were discussing it “on point”. Dave even emphasised “you’ve got to see the video twice”’for proper understanding. Not every data should be spoon fed, if you know what I mean?

[@Leo-xz7tv]

@@mindabobis7601 "Dave even emphasised “you’ve got to see the video twice”’for proper understanding." - that is the opposite of 'getting to the point'? This is just subjective, you can see it differently. But in my opinion the videos were way more informative in the past. "Not every data should be spoon fed, if you know what I mean?" - tbh I think it's really stupid to argue like that here. Should getting information be hard on purpose? If you can explain something easily, why not "spoon feed" it to people? I really don't get that philosophie.

[@mindabobis7601]

Leo If you can’t see my point, it’s ok. Thank you for your reply. Have a good day

[@Leo-xz7tv]

@@mindabobis7601 I CAN see your points, but I disagree with some of them, so i answered. Was that wrong? (I thought at least on this channel one could discuss things neutrally)

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

Well, here I am struggling with my warehouse pallet stacking job, wasting time being meticulous about creating as many flat surfaces such that (just maybe) I can lay flat another box on top and cultivate a masterpiece stack that doesn't end up looking like a bee hive with malignant cancer and exploding all over an aisle. Ugh... This job is too quick and dirty for me. I should stick to spreadsheets.

The brush hanging on the side because it didn't fit anywhere else.

My husband has the same one lol! and yeah they do get smaller pocket size .

I’m a infj tradie working with a estj one day he lost a $10 wrench and he was upset for days constantly talking about how long he had it and it was such a good one.It just annoyed me I was like “just go and buy another one” he said “you just don’t understand”🙄

[@SOULJAJOE010]

I like the ending part of the video, those clips are cool :D

[@brandonb.3511]

Quality content. Thanks y'all.

[@nb9797]

I was thinking just this same topic guys on my way from the gym this morning. Crazy right on cue

[@OrdinaryCritic]

As an Ne auxiliary (Si tertiary, obviously), I don’t like it when people “declutter” my stuff. They’re not cluttered in the first place. They’ll organize themselves once I’m done working with all of them.

[@Amethyst_J]

Oh wow, I’m confused because I thought I was an ENFJ but now I’m wondering if I’m actually an INFP or ESFP. I am always personalizing my belongings. This was a clear demonstration thank you.

[@dolibert]

This is so fun to watch

[@Shae-ni1fi]

The second ways of organizing is so cluttered it is given me anxiety. 😮😅

[@TheAngiepangie424]

Looks great to use, horrific to set up. I would have a nightmare of a time keeping it orderly. This was a great illustration, I am much more like Adam. This gave me a good example that I am lead Ne, demon Si.

[@kimzszsz1726]

Wow, thank you! This made me more certain that I use ni and se
