Typing of Kristen Leo

**ZERO typing spoilers in this post**

So I typed Kristen Leo within the first 36 hours of beginning the OP typing process. I thought that this might mean that I must have missed something - isn't thorough typing supposed to take a bit longer than that? I decided to continue to watch videos of her every day to build my case and double check. I haven't found anything that has gone against my original typing.

I wonder: Once one comes to a firm conclusion about what type a person is, does that make them less likely to see something they might be missing? I wonder how long I need to sit with a type before coming to a firm conclusion about it.

Related, without spoiling what you have come up with, has the typing process been any easier or harder with Kristen this week?

I'll be taking another hour today (probably soon, even) to cross check again, but so far my initial typing hasn't been proven wrong by myself. You won't interfere with my personal typing of her, but I don't know how that would play out with others. I guess just put a spoiler warning up so that readers will know that you're including things in your post that might convey a certain type or not. I have no problem sharing mine after I do my final cross checking today.

Here is my typing, spoilers on the attachment: Kristen Leo.pdf (137.95 KB)

That's actually how I make my notes too, so it makes sense to me. I just went back and organized them for clarity. Now we just need TURI to post so we can discuss. I definitely understand your conclusion as well annnnddd u/Turi. This isn't reddit. How do you tag someone to come do this!??Turi

I have just been informed that the proper term is "Yippy Skippy", not "Hippy Dippy". Please disregard.

My typing of Kristen will be terrible (again) - I've been sick for the last week and have been spending a fair amount of time working on basically written OP notes, covering everything in the classes and in the YT vids so we've got it all 'written out' as well - this is taking a while - and, due to being sick, I haven't put as much time into as I'd like.

That said, I have watched a couple of Kristen vids from earlier in the week and basically have been running through at the moment - right now, my notes are indicating that she is possibly Tribe above Self and Organize over Gather though I'm not sold either way (and won't be, the class will be up in a few hours so this is horrendously bad) - and, I believe she may be a Decider over an Observer - if I get time I'll share my reasoning.

So right now, I suppose I'd be looking at an ExxJ, and possibly a Blast one (Ni/Si after the Te/Fe). I haven't determined the letters yet - my observations right now are that she is super sensory - everything is fact fact fact, not a whole lot of abstract anything going on and she tends to literally show everything she talks about on-screen via editing, not to mention her channel has a whole heap of things re: fashion etc.

In and of itself that wouldn't mean anything, but considering I've already built a (tiny little) case for S over N, it adds a little fuel to the fire and falls in line with the pattern - in the video that was linked by OP, she appears to be running straight through an Si perspective in accordance with the Sensing Se vs Si video - this isn't a one-off either as this way of presenting things is consistent throughout her videos - she also does the thing barpantrytalk did in the ST vs NF video where she is just reading straight from the source - that's Sensory or at least, that's how an aspect of it was depicted back in that ST vs NF class.

This will have to be double-checked if I get time, as in the anxiety vid she notes being someone that is usually excited about the future and planning for the future and not really someone that lives in the here and now - this is anecdotal old MBTI BS but it might hint at a mentality that is geared towards imagination over facts (N over S) so I'll have to make sure she's not peacocking the S if I get a chance - she may be using S to support her N position which honestly, given the vid OP linked, doesn't seem unlikely and it does indeed have a similar vibe to some of Casey Neistats vids (can't explain wtf that vibe is and Kristen is more literal than Casey in explaining it).

Kristen reads directly from sources, as in, verbatim - this isn't Phil DeFranco gathering a heap of information and synthesizing it, this is somebody gathering information and sharing it verbatim as is.


EDIT: I've watched a little more, and wouldn't be surprised if she's actually N over S and is using S to support her N abstract points etc - she tends to not so much 'freak out' over Sensory as much as Rick Beato does, but she's got a little something similar there going on - also, her latest video talks about how all of her things are falling apart around her, her camera, her phone, her laptop, her fan etc etc this is all actually due to not respecting the Sensory - now she's not freaking out majorly over this so I'm not sure how serious of a demon this is - it might also be a demon N of sorts not seeing how not respecting the sensory etc will play out into the future/in your imagination, so who knows.


I guess I'm torn on a few things and unfortunately don't have time to really figure anything out before the class is up - there's a case for Observer over Decider, and vica versa - a lot of us, we, you, them speak which would indicate Decider, and there's also her being so inclusive of others etc and wanting people to get on her side, spread the message etc etc which is Tribe. I think, I would place her tribe above self.

With regards to organize/gather, I think she's more organize but I'm not sure whether it's S or N because I can see arguments for both.

I haven't got time to really provide a decent typing of her, my guesstimate is Fe/Ni or Fe/Si.
