salutations and greetings ego hackers
welcome to today's video where we'll be
discussing the first of the eight
cognitive attitudes the hero every
single person has a hero function the
hero or the Apex of our personality is
the leader of our psyche that directs
most of our daily lives using our
specific hero function re-energizes us
for many of us however life
circumstances or trauma have prevented
us from using our hero fully perhaps our
hero wasn't welcomed in our family and
we had to suppress it to survive despite
our circumstances though we need the
hero to be fully ourselves the goal of
this video is for you to understand what
specifically you need through your hero
to become who you are once again it is
called the hero because it has the
energy of a hero a heroic kind of energy
the hero of each of the 16 types is
powerful and capable our most natural
skill lies in whatever function our hero
is expressed through the hero is the
first of the eight cognitive attitudes
and reveals our most constant need while
other functions like the parent inferior
or Nemesis might need a smaller dose of
whatever they seek the hero needs it a
lot and it needs it often ni Heroes for
example need a lot of freedom constantly
te Heroes need a lot of status and
information constantly SI Heroes need to
feel safe and strong constantly this
constant aspect of the hero makes it
incredibly needy however just like a
bodybuilder consumes thousands of
calories a day to perform the hero will
perform to its fullest if its needs are
being met but what is a cognitive
attitude here lies the vital distinction
between a cognitive attitude and a
cognitive function every type has all
eight cognitive attitudes like the hero
parent and child and all eight cognitive
functions like introverted thinking and
extroverted sensing but each function
throughout the 16 types is expressed
differently depending on which attitude
it is in one way to think of an attit
attitude is like a slot that a given
function is expressed through for
example the hero is optimistic and has a
natural can do energy the parent however
is more pessimistic and responsible
looking for ways that things could go
wrong when extroverted Intuition or NE
is in the hero as is the case for the
entp and the ENFP they use NE
optimistically where they are
enthusiastic about the options and
possibilities available to others but
any parent as is the case for inps and
infps they're cautious about
possibilities and opportunities any
parent wants to know how things could go
wrong while any hero is more focused on
how things could go right ultimately
there are eight expressions of each
function extroverted intuition is
expressed in eight different ways like
any child any Nemesis any critic Etc
meaning that understanding the cognitive
function itself is not enough we need to
understand the different ways how a
function is used experienced and
expressed through all the 16 types the
eight hero functions te hero entjs and
estjs are all about understanding
beliefs and Gathering knowledge te
heroes are aware of what others think
like all extroverted functions
extroverted thinking hero is heroic
about Gathering and organizing
information they're also excellent at
forming and upholding standards and
procedures being aware of how others
think entjs and esjs pursue symbols of
achievement to gain status they want to
be regarded or thought of Highly by
other people TI hero inps and istps are
keenly aware of what they think TI
heroes are super fast and accurate
processors of information if a person
tells them their opinion the INTP and
istp are able to dig into that bit of
information faster than any of the types
and test an argument for its strength
and accuracy they sniff out in
consistencies faster than anyone else
intps and istps lead with their
awareness of logical consistency problem
solving and filtering through their mind
first asking a TI hero what they think
will help them respect you quickly Fe
hero enfjs and esfjs are Naturals at
healing others pain and lifting them up
extroverted feeling the function that
governs empathy compassion and ethical
awareness makes enfjs and esfjs
naturally selfless and caring of those
around them the ENFJ and ESFJ are
extremely aware of the emotional states
of others they have a knack for sensing
when someone is off and helping that
person walk through their pain to get
back on track these two types also
enforce social norms expecting others to
follow the rules of a family group or
Society fi hero infps and isfps wear
their hearts on their sleeves and if
they don't they desperately want to fi
hero is sharpened awareness of One's Own
emotions values and moods infps and
isfps have a strong sense of what they
value they don't care much about what
others value in fact they're naturally
skeptical of others worth fi hero makes
infps and isfps also naturally
expressive fi is one of the strongest
functions when it comes to motivating
personal expression whether it be art
Sports craftsmanship philosophy or
academics infps and isfps want to make
their values emotions and moral
philosophies compelling in all they do
any hero entps and enfps live in the
realm of possibilities they see the
world the opportunities in their daily
life relationships and others Pursuits
through the lens of possibility
everything to the entp and ENFP is about
potential part of potential however is
an awareness of consequences entps and
enfps are the Watchers for avoiding bad
outcomes but they can also steer others
toward Prosperity they see the
consequences of an action before anyone
else does and they love to set others up
for a better future but while they are
natur at helping others Futures they
struggle with helping their own the
other aspect of any hero is desirability
both the ntps and enfps instinctively
know how to Garner desire from others
they want to be wanted and go out of
their way to make themselves as
desirable as possible an i hero injs and
INFJs are always thinking about
possibilities for their own Futures
while any heroes are aware of
possibilities for others and I heroes
are aware of possibilities for
themselves injs and INFJs are among the
most Wy of all the types constantly
searching for the future path they want
most and considering the steps of how to
realize that path but ni heroes are
often extremely willful and often
obstinate when they're invested in
pursuing a path they can be very
difficult to derail or deter but they
often pursue their path with such Vigor
that they burn out and when they burn
out they can become like impotent rag
dolls this oscillation between being a
fiery force to be reckoned with and
being a rag doll is something that the
inj and infj have to balance in their
lives they will burn out if they don't
properly manage the desire of their an
injs and INFJs will form detailed
pictures of their path in their mind
even if they don't know what they want
they're always searching for It
ultimately injs and INFJs are looking
for freedom and are seeking the Liberty
to create their own path without their
ni being imposed upon SE hero estps and
esfps are seeking to deliver the
Ultimate Experience to those around them
they are aware of the Comfort level and
attentiveness of others estps and esfps
want to command attention from others
they tend to make other people people
around them comfortable and at ease but
SE heroes are also aware of the strength
and skill of those around them they want
to build up the strength and competence
of others so that the people in their
lives become more capable and more loyal
ultimately estps and esfps are looking
for people who will stick around SI hero
istjs and isfjs are seeking safety
comfort and strength SI heroes are Duty
based types motivated by fulfilling the
role that their Duty requires the istj
and the isfj are among the most reliable
of all the types their SI hero makes
them consistent disciplined and risk
averse the biggest need for istjs and
isfjs is good experiences they want to
gather up good experiences through the
five senses of their introverted sensing
awareness the concept of Creature
Comforts is very important to all the SI
users but especially the SI Heroes they
reward themselves for their hard work by
indulging in activities or food or drink
that they enjoy the two sides of Si hero
are one work and then two enjoy SI
heroes are seeking others who will
respect their boundaries of safety and
comfort but it's not just about the
internal experience of bliss istjs and
isfjs also want to be strong and they
engage in habits and activities that
will increase their strength ultimately
they want to be strong for other people
the limitations of the hero the hero is
our most powerful function but it is not
without its flaws the biggest flaw of
the hero emerges when we assume our hero
can do everything to a hammer everything
looks like a nail and to Our Heroes ever
optimistic and confident everything
seems simple and straightforward when
any obstacle arises our hero naturally
reacts I can do that but this is far
from the case the path of the hero to
True greatness lies in each of the 16
types recognizing how their hero is
limited and that maturity responsibility
and courage are required for each of our
toolkits to be expanded yes the hero may
be each of our hammers but we have all
of the eight cognitive functions within
us and unless we seek to develop the
other seven tools in our psyche the hero
though powerful will remain immature and
not very capable this series on the
eight cognitive attitudes is the first
layer in understanding how to utilize
all the tools in our minds and the
development of the next cognitive
attitude that of the parent is the most
important in the hero's maturity and
ultimately the hero's capability if you
