I feel like I've learned something, but understood nothing
Indeed.
Same
Wait until you evolve into the Objective Personality system. It's like starting all over again.
Yep
@@CaveyMoth what...... :O
"This is unacceptable. You don't know the f-ing functions?" - loved that.
"Actually there are not 4 functions, there's 8"
I was good untill this part.
Right?! I’m like, this feels like math even though it’s not.
It's actually really easy to understand, if you use introverted intuition LOLOOOLOL
this video was way better for me th-cam.com/video/8kqv9eE8TNw/w-d-xo.html
@@LoveAndSnapple It’s very simple once you discover the patterns.
Let’s say you’re an ENFP
Here’s your stack
Ne, Fi, Te, Si/Ni, Fe, Ti, Se
@@koalakultofficial yeahh I suppose so, I'm Ni dom so it was actually easy to understand and I didn't get why people thought it was so difficult to understand but again I think we all having different degrees of understanding certain things, just like I don't understand Trigonometry easily T-T
"This one, you're an all star, get your game on, go play.
This one, you're terrible at, and now you just need a place to hide away."
Poetry.
God damn, Frank. You may think your old videos are not that great, but this one is just pure gold. Content, editing and everything. Seriously still one of my favourite videos of yours.
well thanks
I totally agree rambling rapscallion. I've watched alot of the new videos, but this one has a certain charm to it and very entertaining.
yesss please do a video on extraverted sensing it’s ruining my life real bad
OK!
LOL literally I said to myself today “why am I so bad at life, like horrible”

@@phlebdouglas lol 😂😂😂
(Yeah but like inferior extraverted sensing. Which is very different than dominant extraverted sensing.)
Professor FJ.
Word
Frank James what is weird about this i was gonna expect you'd be suited to be called Professor before u said it, INFJ btw lol
@@FrankJames professor INFJ
This is so hard. No way am I passing this test. Stop trying to make me learn. I'm here for man feels. I need those salty salty tears.
LOL It's edutainment
6:25 how did you manage to fit a smash mouth reference and a Beatles reference in the same sentence
and so beautifully that they rhyme as well
you should make a video about struggles in school/corporate environments for infj's
That's a good idea
@@FrankJames please do this asap
And INFP's
@@claudiachadwick1995 Yes!
Omg 😭I can
I've watched so many videos to learn about functions and honestly I felt more confused each time, but you made it clear easily, love your vids
Doesn't feel like school unless an overhead projector is involved
Our budget was cut so no projector, no blackboard, just a guy writing in sharpie in a notebook
Just Jae 😂
It's not a problem, all of the students are very good at projecting in their own head.
Thank you Professor Bing.I think I need to do some extra homework on this.
Get some book learnin
"No one knows anything," basically my philosophy in life.
You make my day
You make MY day!
I took notes and I have a lot of crossed out things, but it's cool. I'll probably end up with a C- either way on the pop quiz.
I feel like I'm in college again in my Finite Math class with all these scribbles.
Do INFJ's take notes? I mean I do, but is it a thing for us? do we all do that? I know I can't remember everything so I take notes. When I see people NOT taking notes I think they aren't paying attention.
I do! I like to take notes and lists because I'm a read-learner, meaning I need to see it on paper for me to really understand :)
That's a sign of a good teacher when you cross out things you just wrote because you don't know what information is relevant
thatASMRchick I'm very visual too, I need to see the words written for them to sink in better. If it's just verbal,, I can't seem to follow it. Or my brain feels too slow. Like if someone tries to give me directions, if there are more than 3 steps I am lost. Same thing with grocery store. I can only remember 3 things then I need a list. As soon as I walk in the store, the overwhelming selection makes me forget why I'm there.
thank you professor FJ
Any time ;)
This is really interesting since I've finally put in the effort to look into cognitive functions after being on the fence about INFP or ISFP and ended up discovering that, while sharing three letters, all of the INFP and INFJ functions are opposites! I don't know, that's just incredibly fascinating to me :3
Do I have to leave the house for extraverted sensing? I thought I could just sit here and kinda sense what's going on out there from here. I love you
LOL, you don't have to leave the house, but it can help. Love ya too :)
I don't know. I've managed to grow my extraverted sensing by using intuition... I can read people now but it took a lot of group emotional work to begin to do that. Not sure what you call doing that though based on the functions. I'd actually like to be able to describe that with functions. Maybe that's just extraverted intuition
Yoga? Aerobics? Those are activities I enjoy :).
helps
For some reason I couldn’t really understand this too well, (maybe that’s because it’s 4am and I’m super tired) so I tried to write it down hoping to make sense of it all, and I think I got it! Here’s what I wrote if anyone is interested, hope it helps! :D
INFJ
- Last letter is J so it will follow PJJP
- First letter is I so It will follow IEIE
- P = S or N
- J = F or T
1. Dominant function
- Introverted
- Perceiving
- So it’s IN or IS
- Second letter is N, so it’s IN
2. Middle Function
- Extroverted
- Judging
- So it’s EF or ET
- Third letter is F, so it’s EF
3. Middle Function
- Introverted
- Judging
- So it’s IF or IT
- 3 is opposite 2, so it’s IT
4. Non-dominant Function
- Extroverted
- Perceiving
- So it’s EN or ES
- 4 is opposite 1, so it’s ES
INFP
- First letter is I so It will follow IEIE
- Last letter is P so it will follow JPPJ
- P = S or N
- J = F or T
1. Dominant function

The amount of views this video has vs. his skit videos really says a thing or two about his audience.
Depth vs breadth hm...
This may be the best video I've ever seen on explaining Cognitive Functions and MBTI ever
Yesterday I found your video about "INFJs can't see the trees for the forest", and I must say, I've never laughed out loud to a TH-cam video before. I felt that the tree analogy felt especially true to me as I the same day walked in to a table and also almost got hit by a car a few feet outside of my apartment. * Body awareness *
Thank you Frank James for posting these informative and funny videos.
Would someone please pass me the dunce cap? Also, the close up of the cough...hahahahah
Ha ha
ok that was creepy - I am listening to this while playing bubble shooter and then its like ' hey hey look at me! ' -guilty- Also, this is such an INFJ video. The need to take something interesting to yourself and break it down into a system that is easier to understand for others. We like teaching. :D
you are so right about breaking it down and teaching!
I was on public transit once on an empty car. A blind guy came in and came right to where I was sitting and sat down next to me. HOW do they DO that? It's like he knew I was there. Anyway, he starts talking, and he wants to "see" me. He asks, I know that means he wants to feel my face and I wasn't comfortable with that. So I let him touch my hand. And he started telling me all this stuff about me, and asked if I was a teacher. I wasn't , not in the traditional sense.
Lauren Brothers I can't watch FJ without giving it my full attention. It is a visual treat as well as an auditory one. And those EYES!
It's true, INFJs can make good teachers
I started reading this comment instead of watching the video for a sec and it was like he was talking to me 😂
I've been looking into the functions really in depth for the past few months and it's been helping me a lot with my horrible anxiety because I've been able to come to the realization of how bad I am at Se and just how heavily I rely on Ni. It kind of made me upset when I tried to talk about the MBTI to my best friend a couple months ago and he kind of just wrote it off as a gimmick initially. But I was actually just talking about the functions to him last night and he was sorry he hadn't listened at first, because he could tell it was helping me figure out my thought processes.
5:35 Dear world, may I present you the most beautiful cursive handwriting I've ever seen.
I'm wondering, wouldn't the tests be more accurate, if the questions were more function-based? Since we know that relying on the four letters can be a huge trap.
You are correct, the tests would be much more reliable if they tested for functions
I literally write like that when taking notes...
Am I...
An INFJ?
if you’d like a pretty accurate test based on functions (it also tests the two-letter dichotomies, but they’re separate so you can compare the two), try the sakinorva one at sakinorva.net/functions
Sakinorva actually does use functions. Most tests do, except for 16 personalities, which is why they're kinda infamous for being wrong XD
This all makes sense. As I've been researching MBTI, I've come to understand how to figure out the functions from the letters. But, I actually watched this video hoping that you would explain some things that still do NOT make sense to me: Why does the orientation of the functions have to alternate? (e.g. I, E, I, E)--Why do they have to go in that order? Why can't there be two extraverted functions in a row? For INFJ for example--if the dominant function is introverted intuition, why does the other perceiving function have to be extraverted? Why not introverted sensing too? Why not extraverted feeling and extraverted thinking?
I understand that there's a pattern and know how the pattern applies, but right now it seems like that pattern has been decided arbitrarily by humans. I would trust the MBTI system more as it applies to the human psyche if there was a logical reason for the pattern. (And there probably is, but it doesn't make sense to me yet.) Is there any resource you could point me to, to understand, or could you make a video about this in the future? (Or if anyone else has insight, I'd love it.)
Yes! This sheds some light on what the functions are! So well explained. Thank you from a ENFP
I have a very well developed Se... but boy, my extroverted/introverted thinking actually ruins my life lol. My man is an INTP and we are both convinced I am unable to make logical decisions Lol
At least you are aware of what you need to work on!
That was actually really helpful and your sense of humor always makes me laugh. Thanks! ❤️🙌
why was this so much funnier than any of his comedy skits
(in the best way i love FJ comedy skits❤️)
Got to know the functions to use your type for more than just an entertaining ego boost. I don't know if focusing on developing the inferior function is good advice though. According to personality hacker logic, I would say, learn to keep your inferior function happy without indulging in it and focus on developing your auxiliary function to keep you out of that depressing Ni-Ti, or other, loop.
Well developing the inferior function is all about balancing your life out. Meaning you are imbalanced heavily in favor of your dominant function and can achieve more harmony in life by working on your inferior function. It's not easy though!
I agree the inferior function is the goal. I just think the auxiliary function is the path to reach that goal. Good navigation does not constantly focus on how far you still have to go but tells you where the next turn is.
Professor FJ peeking around that notebook is the cutest thing I've seen all week.
i'm an infp and even though we're one letter off from each other i feel a strange similarity/connection to you, but i see the differences as well. that's what makes it really intriguing! i've been watching some of your videos since i found your channel a few days ago and they're so funny and insightful, it really makes me try to think from a new perspective. it's always fun to hear the intricacies circulating through someone else's head. kinda wish there were more youtubers like you, but then again you're a treasure meant to be unique. stay golden, professor (in)fj :)
4:03 lol. I’m less confused..but hungry 🥞 Thanks:)

Bing Crosby reference was hilarious, also the "doom," sound effect. Dig the simile of personality & op. systems. (brought up on DOS). The Plutocracy of INFJ. Been working on Se a while now.
Idea for Vid: Se & working to improve, practical solutions.
Martin Cichocki yes please!!
Thanks, Martin! It sounds like Se is something a lot of people want to hear about
Frank James Always an educational experience with the dry sense of humor, your Vids! Se been researching & trying to "fix." With your help of course!"Live long & Prosper, FJ."
"if you're trying to type someone else, which i'm terrible at and most people are terrible at cause no one knows anything"
see when i hear that, everything is true 😂
Thank you for making this! It is sooooo nice to know that there are content creators out there that understand the cognitive functions. Keep being great.
Thank you for making cognitive functions so easy to understand! You’re great! I am also an INFJ and you explained it the perfect way for me.
As an INTP I think I may now officially be hooked on this
So glad I've discovered your channel; an absolutely entertaining way to learn about personalities and thus people; in fact that should be the way to learn about everything. As a teacher, who is at times hypercritical to myself, watching your content and concluding that you rock. Envy you, oh from the compersion perspective, of course 🤪 By the way and overall, many thanks for the info. Oh, and, and, remembering all the function of INFJ feels like flattering hahaha Hope its not because you hate us. Signed, an INFJ
When I take the test at 16 personalities I generally get INTP (but borderline on everything but the N). It was only when I studied the functions, took functions tests, researched socionics, read books, watched a ton of videos, and consulted with my typology nerd friends that I became 80-90% sure that I’m an INFJ (the Ni dominant, Se inferior is crazy apparent and while I have very strong Te, I absorb other people’s feelings too readily, and my Fi is all but nonexistent).
ok this really confused me at first but i took a 2 hour long shower and now i get it. the thing that made it confusing is you didn’t really explain how to figure out a types dominant, auxiliary, inferior and whatever number 3 is called. so for anyone who isn’t an infj it’s very hard to figure out your function stack.
but i remembered your video on how to recognise the types of the people around you, and you mentioned something about how the exxp’s and ixxj’s talk more about ideas or experiences whereas exxj’s and ixxp’s talk more about other people or things. this helped me realise that exxp’s and ixxj’s must have a perceiving function as their dominant and inferior functions and their judging one as auxiliary and the 3rd one, and the exxj’s and ixxp’s have a judging function as dominant and inferior, and their perceiving function as auxiliary and 3rd. so for example my own type, an entp, would have a stack like this:
1. _, (perceiving)
2. _, (judging)
3. _, (judging)
4. _, (perceiving)
now to figure out what _ is, all you need to do is look at whether you have an i or an e, whether you are introverted or extroverted. if you are introverted, so is your dominant function and if you are extroverted, the same goes. so as an entp, i am extroverted meaning so is my dominant function.
1. extroverted (perceiving)
2. _, (judging)
3. _, (judging)
4. _, (perceiving)
the next bit is pretty easy because you just need to go extroverted, introverted, extroverted, introverted. so now my stack looks like this:
1. extroverted (perceiving)
2. introverted (judging)
3. extroverted (judging)
4. introverted (perceiving)
now all you need to do is figure out whether you prefer to use sensing or intuition and whether you prefer to use thinking or feeling. you do this by looking at the middle two letters. as an entp, my middle letters are nt, which means i must prefer intuition and thinking. so my dominant function must be intuition and my auxiliary function must be thinking, whereas function number 3 must be feeling and my inferior function must be sensing (basically the opposites to my inferior and auxiliary functions). so now we can complete the function stack:
1. extroverted intuition (ne)
2. introverted thinking (ti)
3. extroverted feeling (fe)
4. introverted sensing (si)
now each type has a sister type, as you explained in a previous video. as an entp, my sister type is an enfp. we share the same dominant and inferior functions, but have different ones at number 2 and 3. here is the function stack of an enfp:
1. ne
2. fi
3. te
4. si
each type also has an opposite type. as an entp, my oposite type is an isfj. an isfj’s function stack would be exactly the opposite of mine. so where I have ne as my dominant function, they have si. where i have ti as my auxiliary function, they have fe, where i have fe as my 3rd function, they have ti and finally where i have si as my inferior function they have ne. here is an isfj’s function stack:
1. si
2. fe
3. ti
4. ne
this system works with any type. take an istp, for example. they are an ixxp type meaning they use a judging function as their dominant. and because they are introverted their stack must go introverted, extroverted, introverted, extroverted. because they have st as their middle letters their dominant and auxiliary functions must be sensing and thinking, and their inferior and 3rd functions must be intuition and feeling. so here is their stack:
1. ti
2.se
3. ni
4. fe
an istps sister type is an intp, and because they share the same dominant and inferior functions but have different functions in the middle, an intp’s stack will look like this:
1. ti
2. ne
3. si
4. fe
and the opposite type to an istp is an enfj, whose stack must look like this:
1. fe
2. ni
3. se
4. ti
in conclusion, that’s how you figure out the function stack of each type, i hope this helped someone even though it’s a mess and probably just confused you even more (sorry).
I'm an ISFJ and I tried following your steps and I got
1. Fi (because I'm introverted)
2. Se
3. Ni
4. Te
Then I read your function stack for the ISFJ and realized I got them all wrong 😂 So now I'm confused, please help!
@@courtneylaine8350 ok the reason you got it wrong is because you are an ixxj type. this means that your dominant function is a perceiving function. the perceiving functions are sensing and intuition. what you did wrong is you put a judging function first (the judging functions are thinking and feeling). you need to put a perceiving function first because ixxj and exxp types have perceiving functions as their dominant functions. your preferred perceiving function, as an isfj, is sensing and because you are introverted, it is introverted sensing (si). so your dominant function is si, an introverted function, meaning that the next function has to be extroverted. it also has to be a judging function because your dominant function is perceiving. since your preferred judging function is feeling, your auxiliary function is fe. and then your 3rd function has to be the opposite of your auxiliary function so it’s ti. finally, your inferior function is ne because it’s the opposite of your dominant function. so here is your function stack:
1. si
2. fe
3. ti
4. ne
i hope this helped if not just tell me what you’re still confused about. sorry about this though i’m not always great at explaining things...
@@oa5538 this did help, I just have a lot to learn about the functions 😅 but thank you, I understand and you did a really good job explaining

Wowee, om fire this morning!!! Nothing like a healthy dose of sarcasm in the morn, I love it!. Carl Jung was all about dreams, would you like to talk about that as a topic, and as an intuitive how they, dreams, play a role in our conscious thought processes as well as being a link to the collective consciousness or something like that? I appreciate ya, Peace,
Ooh, a video about dreams would be interesting
Would love this!
This is quasi-mathematical and I’m LOVIN IT! What’s the FUNCTION?? The function is the most critical component to determine and know in order to arrive at the solution. Know your functions y’all.
Oh, OOOHHHH, VISUALS!! You just brought up a quad diagram! This is speaking to my soul...
Great educational video sir. I love your teaching style. Very entertaining Mr. Crosby lol. The pancakes "stack" waslike a sublimal message. Who else wants pancakes now?
Annie Sussino I don't like pancakes, so not me, but I've seen other comments where they did.
LOL, function stack... of pancakes
I’m here because I really love you as a person, and of course all the content you display :)) and I trust that you can explain this in your unique, resonate way, well, in 9 minutes :))) all the rest are 30 minutes?! And like what?!
1. Introverted Thinking (Ti)
2. Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
3. Introverted Sensing (Si)
4. Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
My guess for INTP. I have no idea if it is correct, but from I could understand it seems to be like this. However, I will look it up and see what it actually is.
Edit: I was right :)
As a hobby mathematician and a programmer, I agree, Functions are all that matter.
Woah, I had no idea that the MBTI ran deeper than just the letters. Cognitive function?! Crazy stuff - I gotta go do some research. Another great video, FJ!
I took the MBTI 3 times and no one ever told me about the functions! Thanks for this. Extroverted Sensing is ruining my life also.
Thank you Frank that was smooth and it slides to mind happily 😭
I think I finally get it, I am supposed to have a list so as ESTJ,
1.Extroverted sensing
2.Extroverted thinking
3.Introverted feeling
4.Introverted intuition
But how these functions work especially the last one 😂I need to learn more, I am in my healing journey hope this help me get to know myself
Good explanation, FJ! I liked the elaboration. I also like Jean Kummerow's Tedx talk on Myers Briggs. She explains the categories, and preference. It helped me to think of the four letters of our Type as explaining how we do four activities: gather energy, collect info, make decisions, and live our lives. Introverts want their energy to go in, want to take time to process rather than put it out to others constantly. I like that extroverted people process externally and we all have difference needs/interpretations of interactions. She talks about silences and talking things out, even talking to ones self. She says some introverts may appear to be extroverts. She talks about Intuition as preference of intuiting rather than real sensing, and how we see the same picture differently because we interpret it differently. Feeling refers to the desire to be in harmony with their internal value system not just facts. She comments that Judging types like to organize, make lists and make plans and decisions rather than options and going with the flow. She makes suggestions for what questions to ask ourselves to balance and develop our subdominant functions. I found it interesting in support of what you've shared. th-cam.com/video/gBkIyJ7kf_I/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, Lori! I have never seen that video, I'll have to check it out, thanks for sharing
Certain other TH-camrs ought to watch your videos. They seem to not know about functions and say crap like 'if you like doing [insert activity] then you're not a [insert type], like me'. Do they not realise you cannot put 7 billion people into 16 neat boxes? Things such as upbringing, traumatic events, social/cultural/religious conditioning will also add to your 'personality' so you might sometimes do things differently even though your mbti type is correct. Thank you for your great videos 😊
Hosted by Bing Crosby... nice lol
Thanks for talking about the function stacks. Your analogy of computer OS really was spot on. I read a book that talked about how for all MBTI types, the fourth function is the weakest of all, equivalent to that of a three year old’s ability to handle/process a situation. I’m grateful you took the time to talk about this. Not entirely sure why, but it doesn’t change that I am. Happy weekend to you!
Top 3 highlights:
°Hairball @2:28
°Allstar reference that flowed SEAMLESSLY into a Beettles reference
°FJ's reckless abandoned towards stapled paper
This was very helpful! I'd like to request a video on how INFJs can develop their inferior (aka crappy) extroverted sensing function (including starting with what exactly it is).
Somebody tell me if this exists, but I would love a series where you go through and explain the cognitive functions of each type.
INTP
1.Introverted thinking (Ti)
2.Extroverted intuition (Ne)
3.Introverted Sensing (Si)
4.Extroverted feeling (Fe)
ESFJ
1.Extroverted feeling (Fe)
2.Introverted sensing (Si)
3.Extroverted intuition (Ne)
4.Introverted thinking (Ti)
this is really good, fascinating. i would like to watch vid about explaining every functions
got recommended to me after your newer video today lol. vibe sure has changed huh
Yep was way more real and authentic before (more Ni and less Fe).
@@timefortee i suppose that's one way to view developing someone's nondominant functions
@@nin_tan It's not about developing them but creating a business model with mainly ADHD audience without any deep-diving.
@@timefortee First of all, I don't think there's anything wrong with being essentially a gateway into MBTI, if anyone that stumbles upon the channel is truly interested, I'm positive that they'll end up finding another, more niche channel that delves deeper into the roles and nuances of each function and their position in the stack. That's a brilliant use of Fe for him, the single largest MBTI channel at the moment. I understand that FJ's more surface level, but through him I started searching more and ended up finding a lot of great channels (and a few not so great channels).
More importantly, I'm talking about how Frank presents himself here and in his updated version specifically. This video is a lot dryer and "uninteresting" compared to his newer version, which, despite being 3.5x longer, is easier to digest. That is growth. I'm an INFP myself so I do like this version and its humor as well, but I'm self aware enough to know that more people find it boring, especially the computer analogy. I think its all in the way he speaks from then and now.
If your have personal grievances about him, or think he's manipulating his audience, I'm not entirely sure how you found my comment, but as far as I know, he's not exploiting anyone here. Went from teacher-entertainer to entertainer-teacher is all.
Sorry for posing as a viewer that agrees with you.
@@nin_tan No worries, it's totally normal to like light and entertaining type of content for the vast majority of people, especially today. It's not entirely your fault for being that way.
That was a clear explanation, thank you for your effort ☺.
And the pipe actually reminded me of Ernest Hemingway.
One of the next topics could be: How can we change the world to better suit INFJs (so our percentage is equivalent to the percentages of other types...I mean, it would be only fair if each type has 6.25% of the population as there are 16 types and not like we have only 2% while some other types have 8%). Although...as an oldtimer, I think the world is already changing...
Ah, interesting idea. I actually think it is a good thing that INFJs are not more prevalent, ha ha. Good idea for a video. I also agree that the world is probably changing
"What you wanna do is figure out what your fourth function is and see where that's ruining your life" As an infp thanks for reminding me it is Te, stuf like regulating, planning, enforcing. All things i havent been able to do like EVER in my life.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💖 I listen to them at work and it really makes my day
Thanks so much :)
Love you too Frank! ❤️p.s. i love all the extra editing you've been doing lately, it's very funny and creative :)
Continuation. I'm not saying the grand old gentleman was wrong, on the contrary, he was very right and voicing out his honest assessment.
i do not approve of this function stuff, it reminds me of maths... i do not like maths.
I felt the same way in the beginning. I also absolutely HATE math. But once you spend a little time on it, it actually turns out to be far far simpler. And far far more interesting :D
That’s rough buddy
Me too 😩👌

I'm getting some yesterday vibes here-
Best video on this topic hands down
Wow. Some professors took 30 minutes to explain this in a complicated way, you managed to do it in 8 minutes in a nice and easy way. 👏🏻👍🏻
this was really helpful for me! i am also an infj and seeing that my extroverted sensing is weak solves a lot of my questions as to why I am always so unaware of my surroundings. today I was painting a classroom with a bunch of strangers and I found myself listening to them talking and trying to figure out exactly who they are while I could completely be inches away from a spider and wouldn’t know it. i probably seem so spacey to others because I try to pay attention to many things at the same time.
Yes, Professor! Fabulous video. I concur with many of your commenters. We need an Extraverted Sensing video before some of us die! Death by inferior function. Such a sad way to go. :(
You exactly express what I felt/thought. My word to describe the MBTI would always have been superficial, but I've never been very satisfied with this word. I'm a hobby ethymologist, btw, but I did not find the right words. To say the MBTI is a personality test or personality chart or something can be very confusing and people do that, because they only rely on the letters and sometimes don't even know about the functions. The MBTI discribes how you react to your surroundings and environment and how you process it - or, as you said, how you perceive and how you judge it. I'm not very satisfied by the word 'reality', because people discuss what reality really is and everybody has their own reality (because everybody has their own filter) Imo most of the tests at the internet are not reliable, because they are just leaked by the real MBTI and, last but not least, you only can type yourself, when you are really, really self-reflecting. Otherwise you will get the type you want to be and/or what others told you about yourself. That might be the reason why so many INFPs mistype themselves for INFJs. Imo you can only find out your type by studying the functions.
Thank you! This should be your very first video. I believed in letters, there was nothing about functions in my favorite test :( Now please, a video about extroverted sensing!
Good idea!
I am good at typing people and you are actually an ENFP wanting the idea of an intuitive thinker INFJ. The self judgement you do is so Ne-Si. The amount of questions you ask yourself together with your Fi, is the En-Fi combo which could be introverted. Your inferior Si could actually trick you to want to be somebody else. Or even think that you will never reach your potential, and that potential hides on your tertiary Te.
Infp
@@Novasterling Me or him? Me, i am just a biased INTP because my Ti is biased on my Si experiences. And i really just want to improve myself.
@@JIROHirokawa FJ is either an infp or enfp.
I had a good time watching this video and learning more about the Myers-Briggs personality type test. I find you very interesting and not in a sexual way, I like men tall and wide. I do find your talks interesting. Have a great day! 😀
Thank you I was lately fixated about MBTI codes until I saw your video, thanks a lot fellow INFJ!
So basically MBTI code INFJ translated to function is Ni-Fe-Ti-Se which is plus minus plus minus or same principal as Yin Yang sign!
1Dominant 2Auxiliary - 3Tertiary 4Inferior the moment that you have developed the second Inferior part you are in balance or well-rounded person.
Lmaoooo... who wouldn't want to be with INFJ if they come up like this creative guy. *much love!
And 10 seconds in and it’s already 10x more welcoming, fun, and interesting 😂 and informational:pppp I love this 😂😂
Just my opinion: We need to reign in Se and strengthen Fe. This analogy (not mine) if life is a pool Ni is the water, Fe is the water slide, Ti and Se are floats you grab when you start sinking. The pool is a lot more fun if you use the slide. Se makes you drink and eat when your stressed, can even be tied to the mess in your room. You know the damage Ti can do. Love your videos.
This was really insightful. Please do more videos like this. You explained the functions in a way I could follow. I've been looking for some more insight on the subject, and this really helps. Thank you
This was really enlightening and cracked me up a few times :) So thanks a lot. Do you maybe have some thoughts on how to work on that pesky fourth function? I would really love to hear about it from your perspective. And this vlogs of yours are officially very good for mental health (at least mine :)), right now I can't stop smiling after feeling down all day (or week? don't remember) So Big thank you. Greetings from other side of the ocean.
Love the Bing Crosby bit! But now I'm going to have VH- Hot for Teacher in my head all day! 🎶 "I don't feel tardy" :) Your videos are the best man! Also looking forward to the next podcast!
LOL, thanks!!!
for me it's still inconclusive which is my type. some years ago, i used to get intp more consistently, but recently i've done tests and i got either infj or intj.
i believed that, because i'm getting older and have to deal with more responsabilities, i feel the need to organize my life and set realistic goals. i still enjoy the thrill of studying a wide range of subjects, as it makes me feel as if i am expanding my inner world, or, conversely, absorbing the external world into myself.
i'd like to have more control over how people act around me, because my biggest problems are related to people's manipulative behavior, or just their lack of empathy towards me. i do understand when people try to use me, but sometimes i can take advantage of this, in order to fulfill some of my objectives.
it doesn't seem like someone like me would be empathetic towards others, but in fact i am. people who get to know me usually come to ask for emotional support and guidance, because i have a lot of experience with emotionally distressing situations. i give a 'zen' vibe, and people feel comfortable with my detached, yet attentive, listening.
my 'i' and 'n' types are always consistent, i'm very creative, and very introverted. the problems are the other two letters, and the functions associated with them. i don't believe i'm infp, i'm not overly emotional, i feel that my inner world is much more organized around logic and creativeness. when dealing with daily-life tasks, particularly when i'm asked to do something, i need everything to be stated clearly and consisely, because i only do what's planned. i feel uncomfortable interacting with people, so i tend to rush when doing activities that involve social interaction with strangers, and this is why i almost never improvise in these kinds of situation, as i just want to get the job done and go back home.
when it comes to close friends, i'm willing to listen to them and to help them solve their problems, or at least deal better with them. i do understand why they feel distressed, and i usually can relate to their issues. people think i'm a good listener, and they value my advice.
i'm not really sure which type describes me better, to be honest. intjs are said to be cold and unnaproachable, but people who are close to me find me approachable and enjoy sharing their time with me. i also feel an intj would keep their space very organized, and that's not my case, as i barely take notice of my surroundings, and i spend most of my time reflecting on abstract ideas.
i'd like to be organized and have a good appearance though, because most people are extremelly shallow, and they can't really understand who i am unless i express myself through my looks. if i don't have good looks, people will spread gossip and/or try to invade my personal space, and i really despise who does this kind of thing, so i'd rather avoid them.
the thing is, i'm not very organized and i don't take too much care of my appearance, because it feels like a waste of time to employ more energy into superficiality than in exploring my inner world. it feels as if the outside world is constraining me and forcing me to comply to their nonsensical expectations, so i can be 'accepted' and 'respected'. and the price i have to pay, is to spend less time with my inner world of ideas, which i value much more than social interactions.
this is roughly the situation i face, so it confuses me a bit which type woudl describe me better. if i'm surrounded by people who are warm and make me feel comfortable, i'd act more like an infj, but if i'm surrounded by strangers and people who want to use me at any cost, i'd behave more like an intj. i don't know if that makes sense, according to the theory of types, but it's basically how things look like right now for me.
Legit though, thanks for being a guiding force in my life change process. You provide a lot of really great insight and it’s been helping me really take a good look at myself in the mirror and be honest with myself, especially when it’s uncomfortable
Thanks. I wrote everything down on my notepad. This is a good start for me learning the cognitive functions.
I cannot even describe properly how MUCH i love your videos! Hilarious and useful! Love the new News ones FJ. Anyway, I call the P function the "HUH?" Function. And the J function the "OHHH. OK THEN!" SeSINeNi= Huh?! or WTF? and TeTiFeFi= "Oh, then now.." Function.
Love the editing style
All of these websites that write about the types and the tests we all take are literally giving us such surface information, and then we all think we know so much. Annoying.
But of course we're too lazy to make sure we understand the research and "functions" behind it.
Now I feel like I know nothing. Thank you for spoon feeding us lol
This guy is the pewdiepie of the MBTI world.
“it doesn’t work that way” got a flashback from the recent video “how mbti take desitions and then i just remembered im a J and i need hin to explain it more detailed omg
seconds later he says that you got to focus in your fourth function and the i re-remembered im an ESFJ so that means i have introverted thinking and i-

1:11 Seeing FJ's soul through his eyes...😳
His eyes are beautiful 😍
This is the first video of this man I’ve seen PLEASE tell me he’s an INFJ as well
The obession of people with extremely monolithic and immovable concepts like this, reminds of the movie "Pi", where a psychopath was obsessed with finding the same mathematical pattern everywhere in nature and had the delusion everything was governed by it.
What are good extraverted sensing activities that could help us improve that function....?? But also not exhaust us... vid please!
sports
Sport is exhausting ☺
I take time during the day to practice mindfulness. Basically, just take a few minutes to just engage in the sensory and shut out the constant internal narrative. It helps a lot with anxiety.
Beyond that, sensory activities that I've found Ni doms tend enjoy include drawing, cooking, and exercise.
sage kath Wow that's so true. When I had a somewhat normal life I did enjoy those things. And Gardening. Camping, backpacking, hiking. Anything outdoors. Far far away from the beaten path. Like it takes a helicopter lift and 2 days to get to the emergency room after the bear attacks you.
Koraljka Miletic Would board games count?
Again left wanting to hug you. 😝 however you have been helping me a lot and being this is an extremely overwhelming time for my all sensories I appreciate your library so much. Now you have me about to jump into this topic on a level I never expected. 😂 ok time to buy meyers books. Keep being the amazing and careful you! 🥰
I see the careful comments in all your videos. 😜
