Authors@google just released a video on the neuroscience of personality:

(It's over an hour long ... sorry).

Thoughts?

[Aylucid]

Just finished, nothing too special but entertaining enough if you have nothing to do.

[MrFreakaficial]

Very interesting, and just what I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing.

[Chameleon]

I enjoyed it; thank you. Notice how he kept saying 'well except two types'

those darn INTJs and INTPs always causing trouble.

[Eye on Earth]

I'm thinking about buying his book. If his tests are indeed accurate, then there is a biological backing to how we act and I want to know more.

I would have liked to see more about the INTJs. He didn't really mention us, unless we're the X-Mass light people whom he never described with an MBTI name.

[Kalandri]

I found this very interesting! I do wish he spoke more about INTJs, though.

[OwenF]

Interesting video. I'd like to see more of his data, and some further discussion of the results for specific personality types.

Neuroscience of Personality doesn't seem to be available on Amazon.com, but here's a link to a brief description from Radiance House (a Nardi site):

I haven't decided whether to pay my $25 and get the book yet. There should be a substantial amount of information in it, as it's 200 pages long, not one of Nardi's 50-page booklets. If anyone has read it I'd love to hear more about the contents.

Yep, and sample sizes too. This is crucial.

Only watched half an hour so far but it's pretty good. Is it out of place here to say that i would totally do that intro speaker (lovely accent too). I think one of my new goals is going to be embarrassing INTPs hehehe.

The results can be entertaining. I sometimes catch myself thinking of myself as an invisible thinker-observer, and then I suddenly turn out to be visible after all, as is the popcorn in my hair, the freakish look on my face, or whatever it is that everyone finds funny. I need an invisibility cloak!

i only had the patience to skim through the video, so i may have missed the section where this was covered and may not even understand it fully; but i wonder what the independent variable was? they have their assessment of what people's brains indicate their preferences are, and they have those people's own assessments of their preferences (what they think they are), but at what point does the coalescence become controlled, maintained objectively?

*continues watching in case the answer becomes evident*

well, i can totally relate to what he said about INTPs and embarrassment... it's good to know this behavior is almost normal. almost. i also find what he said of ENTJs to be true in my experience; remembering more details, but more often wrong. almost... like... they're remembering... something... the way... they want to.

Nardi said in the presentation that the Christmas tree light people were likely to be NPs.

That could be you.

Interestingly, as I listened to his description of the processing of ENFJ and ENTJ, a couple of people I know actual came to mind as he spoke. I thought his description of their processing was right on.

I also enjoyed how he described the differences in math teaching methods. That is what I have been harping about for years, but it has been falling on deaf ears. I am glad someone not only finally said it but showed why some teaching methods clearly make no sense.

[Megalomania]

Any Japanese INFP's on here?

[TheycallmeJesus]

Don't have time to watch this now, so im commenting in order to be able to trace the post back.
Gonna watch the video tomorrow night and let you know what i think then

I stopped watching T.V a while ago, I't's my opinion that it's the worst thing humanity has ever made. According to his readings watching T.V results in pretty much a complete blank brained state.
Fuck T.V.

[followthehippos]

Don't quote me on this, but, I'm pretty sure Dr. Dario Nardi is an INTP.

It's also been linked to ADHD.

That worries me a bit. I'm an INTP. We do castles in the air quite a lot. Our stuff is usually, either blindingly clear, or way off-base. This stuff doesn't quite seem that clear to me.

[Szepi311]

To: Eye on Earth on this subject, or anyone else interested here is what I found re: that Christmas tree brain.

check out the reference to ultimate brainstormers.

it hardly matters as to the 'clarity' of what he was saying, which was merely outlining patterns in brain activity correlated to MBTI type, but i very much doubt an INTP would be able to do such a good job keeping up a constant, focused stream of chatter, and been able to connect with the audience as well as he did. ENTP is the impression i got. this leaves me wishing he'd mentioned his own type. also that i had the book.

[Szepi311]

I actually found his presentation to be a bit flat starting out. Then when he got to the things that excited him about the project he perked up. So, typing him based on the presentation, ...I don't know??

I've witnessed numerous INTPs and ENTPs give speeches. I'm speaking from experience. This guy is an INTP. Keep in mind that just because someone is comfortable giving speeches doesn't mean they are extroverted. Their are plenty of famous stage individuals who are introverts. Additionally, it appeared to me that the audience was small rather than large. You fail to take into consideration what an INTP can do that has developed himself.

Very interesting.

Along with INFJ we apparently get the blue zen brain the most, where all areas bubble together at a comfortable mild frequency.

Apparently the E.E.G can show 6 solid color brain states, I can't find articles on this site apart from blue and christmas tree though.

I think TV has more of a negative effect during the infant and toddler years when neuron connections are suppose to be created rather rapidly.

he's not just giving a speech from rote, he's actively engaged in discussing his ideas. coherently. over a span of quite some time. but none if this is very relevant, because he could just as easily be an ENTJ, or an INFP.

I'm referring to non-rote speeches. Keep in mind this guy has studied the topic for 5 years. He had to get a PhD wherein he had to write a book and present his ideas to a board (to illustrate that he is more than likely quite competent). I wouldn't doubt he understands the topic well enough to spontaneously discuss and answer questions. How are you exactly eliminating that possibility for INTPs to be able to accomplish such?

Every INTP I know in person is able to speak a long time over a topic that interests him. I'm not basing this off of one or two experiences, I'm basing this off having INTP teachers (who must spontaneously teach the class), presentations by INTPs, having discussions with INTPs about a variety of topics. They can remain engaged quite well. A P preference doesn't infer being scatter brained nor lacking in the ability to focus.

You're right, it's a possibility that he could be any of the 16 types, but he's not. He is INTP. In all honesty, I would bet 100 dollars that this guy is INTP. I'm just unwilling to go through the transaction process if we were able to get a factual definite answer.
