thank you Sal mutations and greetings
ego hackers my name is Ben and welcome
to today's video where we'll be
discussing the cognitive function known
as te or extroverted thinking
so what is te extroverted thinking is
one of the four judgment functions
within our cognition half of the 16
types use extroverted thinking within
their top four functions
the four tjs entj is estjs intjs and
istjs and the four FPS enfps esfps infps
and isfps they are all of the te users
te is a form of decision making that
utilizes external information to weigh
out the accepted truth of a group
a te user often has a finger to the
pulse when it comes to Common sentiment
amongst a family institution or a nation
they know what people around them think
te gathers information through research
that appeals to data studies and other
credible resources te users are very
concerned with credibility and use the
filter of credibility to decide if
something is worth accepting as true or not
not
the filter of credibility has a benefit
and a danger the upside is that the
credibility filter clears out
distractions so that the te user doesn't
have to listen to everyone or consider
every perspective
some people speak on topics so out of
their league that it would be worse to
listen to them than not to If a person
is talking about a topic they are not
certified in or have no professional
experience with the te user is more
likely to regard that person's opinion
as lower than someone who would have
those credentials
however the danger in this credibility
filter is when the te user dismisses
people solely on the ground of their credentials
credentials
many of the world's most Brilliant Minds
are not certified or have a degree in
their topics of Mastery te users who
naturally occupy powerful leadership
positions especially when it comes to
Media politics and education often
silence the very people whose voices we
need the most credentials aren't
everything so how does te work when
collecting information the te user
gathers a variety of reference points
think of the te user as forming a spider
web of reference Points each cross in
the web indicates a thought or pocket of information
information
a te user Compares and contrasts these
different pockets of information and
siphons the pockets they believe are the
most rational into their own personal
wheelhouse or Library they think and
they talk in reference points
te is not just about data information
however extroverted thinkers aware of
what others think are also aware of what
other people think of them
te users want to be regarded and thought
of Highly by others
te exists on what's called a cognitive
axis with Fi or introverted feeling
what this means is that if the te user
can get other people to think highly of
them then the te user can feel good
about themselves
so te users seek status achievement and
credentials in order to validate their
own worth the reason they are so
concerned with credibility is that they
themselves want to be credible te users
go out of their way to see credentials
degrees diplomas and all the credentials
to be regarded as credible
credibility is what allows the te user
to get what they really want which is influence
influence
if someone is credible especially those
in a position of authority such as a
professor CEO director or therapist then
other people come to them for input and
te users especially as they gather more
research and commit to forming high
quality opinions can be experts at
providing input
their input gives rise to institutions
often relating to education or expertise
that act as a Bedrock that holds a
family group team company or even a
nation together
so if you're in some trouble and need
some guidance the te users in your life
would love it if you ask them for advice
but to regard all te users as power
hungry influencers is incorrect they
want to obtain influence because they
see how poorly ran and disorganized
institutions are
because te users are so rational they
process the world in a rational versus
irrational lens using reasons to justify
its decisions they can be tremendous
organizers and Educators who find the
right place for everything
this ranges from organizing technical
things like the layout of a warehouse to
organizing the minds of students in a
classroom and to even organizing the
clues in a murder case to find the
suspect rationality is the te user's
Rudder that guides their life so in
terms of social engineering how can you
help the te users in your life
the natural blind spot of te users is verification
