16 Personalities Around Their Parents.
I only got into it all after I found out about my type, before that I didn't know anything about it and I took a picture of my type after the test so I would remember it
Interesting POV on the topic. Yea I'd like to hear what's your take on the most common and rare types. And I'd also like to know what you think of mistypes on celebrities..
P.s. I love the way you struggle with words. As an ISFP I relate to that a lot 🤣
A common mistype is extroverts thinking they're introverts, simply because they have anxiety! Anxiety is not introversion :)
I have a clearly extroverted friend who started calling himself "beginning to become an introvert" when 2020 started. As an INTJ, clearly I could see he has some issues he needed to solve.
He's doing better now 🙂
(Hoping he fares better during our country's near lockdown due to Delta)
Yes!! So true
Or they just hate people.
I've heard an ENFJ say they were "shy as a kid so..."
I don't understand why they say that. Still makes you an extrovert. 😆
I'm a pro introvert.....When 2020 came around, I was celebrating I didn't have to leave my house. Introverts prefer to stay home and watch a movie rather than go out with friends (guilty of this by giving excuses of why I can't go). It helps to take the MBT with a friend who can tell you the honest truth about yourself.......I'm an ISTP.
INTP: I love planning and doing todo lists. I'm just never able to stick to them but I like how organised it looks :)
Hahaha sooo true, and using all the coloured markers to make the to-do list look fantastic😂..and end up not using it at all. (INFP)
I'm feeling attacked...
As an INTJ, I stopped making todo lists and just thought of what to do.
@PaperRoses Oh, well I'm glad I'm not the only one haha!
I think I'm too lazy to do that (also an INTP) but if I really have to then fiiiiine ugh. 🙄
Most times I try to remember inside my head like an internal list.
For how many years, I identified as INTP (by analyzing the cognitive functions and taking various personality tests), then during the recent years, I felt a major "shift" in myself. Took a quick test as a joke, but I was so surprised when the results showed INFP. From then on, I started reviewing and analyzing the cognitive functions of INFP, and it's bull's eye. Had moments of identity crisis over this, but I think, I've already accepted myself as an INFP. :)
There's a high probability that no one will see this, and if they do, they won't even bother reading through, but I just wanted to share it in here.
For me, I'm the other way around. I'm 99% sure I am INTP now, but back then I thought I was INFP. Its because 16personality of course
The exact same thing happened to me, from the intp mistype to the shift and now to the infp acceptance. Nice to see a fellow infp on this journey
I thought I was an INFJ until I took the test to only find out that I am an ISFP. I already accepted myself to be an ISFP, hating tradition and heavily going against it. No wonder I am so weak in my second language and history simply because I love to upset tradition only to find myself taking another test to find I am an INFP...
I saw read it all! - (probably) ENFP writing 😄
I used to be infp and after a few months of endless tests I finally found out that im estp
Problems with the question how common the types are in society:
- All the stats are really old
- The stats only exist for America, so technically we only know how common each type is in the US, not the rest of the world
- We don't even know if the people in these stats were typed correctly
Ooo that's true, I never really thought about that (because I don't care about the rarity of a type)
Yeah, that's why the stats are hardly accurate + each countries have different aspect of what's the norm, for eg since many ppl have said that ppl in the US tend to be loud, sociable etc it's understandable why many ppl there are likely to be ESxx
Thanks for noticing these flaws so we can think more critically.
It's easy to lie with statistics.
that's why I don't even believe in those stats
Knowing how many ppl type themselves as INFJ to feel rare, I won't be surprised if it came out as the most popular personality worldwide lol.

Thank you very much @Elli m
It's interesting that nobody mistypes themselves as an ENTJ
i feel like many people will say that they are infjs, but they're actually isfjs
Yeah, or INFPs
But my case is exceptional 😂.
I at first got INFJ then on other website I got INTP two times and INTJ(in the same website) then on other website I got INTP again then on other website INFJ then on the same (the first website when I used to ensure my personality)I got INFJ again then on the other website which I used second time to check my personality I got INTJ . Though I think myself more as a INFJ ❤️. I heard that INFJ and INTP are very different from each other then what's my case ?? Can anyone explain it to me??😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@duaa7576 was about to say
When you’re actually an INFJ, it doesn’t feel like something to advertise or revel in. There are plenty of downsides.
@@animadas2306 you sound like infj tbh 😂 I think most infjs get intp/intj because infjs often have pretty strong Tis and get mistyped as thinkers. Also I've noticed a lot of infjs think they're really chaotic and disorganized WHEN THEYRE REALLY FUCKING NOT 😂😂 (coming from infp who's basically human tornado lol) so they often get P when they're most definitely J and are just being overly critical themselves :P but obvs idk cos idk you :)
Being a INFJ is a trendy personality type nowadays since most people claim to be that.. Almost all of my friends and co-workers who are into personality typing are supposedly INFJs. Even the loud and obnoxious ones lol.
Everyone wants to be a special snowflake bc it’s “rare.” I don’t even think it’s that rare for women, much rarer for a woman to be an intj.
Lol super true.
@@ccverdera6298 Really? I'm an infj and my friends that took the test are intjs. That's of course excluding my enfp best friend however.
Once I took a test that gave you 3 matches. I got ISTJ, INTJ, and INFJ. XD lol So, I am either a snowflake or...stormtrooper? idk what would be the opposite of a snowflake.
@@siennacook4013you took

meyer Briggs type indicator test?
Ive seen many INFP get mistyped as INTP because they generally enjoy academic things and use logical thinking, However, their emotions are definitely the more visible and dominant factor. As an INTP, its pretty easy to tell when someone isnt an INTP so when an INFP get mistyped its pretty easy to spot and it shows that the test is flawed in many ways.
Agree, my friend has been telling me she’s either INTP or INFP, but from an outsider’s view, I definitely think she’s more INFP because while she is good at using logic and etc., her emotional side is muchhhhh stronger
As an INTP, I actually tend to get mistyped by some people as an INTJ, not an INFP. People can see immediately that I do not base my decisions on feelings
Im probably one of them idk ;-;
Yes. I had found one in the comments the other day, and they were quite obviously not an INTP.
seriously in this conundrum rn too lmao cause all these years, tests show me that im intp but i always doubted it and second guessed that im an infp, most likely. and im just gonna go with both from now when its convenient 🤣
I typed three times as ENTJ when only doing the test on 16 personalities. Then I looked at the definitions and typical profiles for each type, and I found out I was an ISTP. Moral and story: personality tests don't work for people who aren't introspective.
I appreciate your honesty. Thank you! Also, I cannot agree more with what you stated about introspection; most lack it!
True lol
What’s introspective? (I’m assuming it’s the inner perspective or inner mind but i’ll ask anyway)
@@BigFanOfCocks it's basically like self-reflection, asking yourself how you are, what you think, why you are like that, and finding the answers or creating hypothesis all by yourself too (i could be wrong tho ;-;)
@@Suzy292002 hmmm i’ll take ur definition for it. I should probably use google tho but ehhhh
I think most people get infjs because what most psychological test thinks is÷
I
N open-mindedness
F socially acceptable answers
J organised
Most people end up what they like rather than what they are...
I think it’s ENXJ that most people get as a “wrong” type because most psychological tests think people who don’t give answers they don’t think should be socially acceptable are EJs and that open-minded people are intuitives.
If that were true, then INFJs wouldn't be the rarest type... thus, most people do NOT get INFJ
Why- not everyone wants to be an infj?
If people knew the torture INFJs put themselves through they wouldn't want to be typed like us. 😆😬🤓😳😨🥺
@@michellet796 ISFJs put themselves through similar torture, nevertheless they are a very common type.
INTJ themselves generally don't get mistyped
The other types getting mistyped as intj-
The real INTJ- I am gonna read through all those articles about cognitive functions and loops about INTJ to check if I'm really an INTJ.....
😂 I literally research if after getting it to make sure it seemed accurate.
OMG. I've never felt this seen in my entire life. That's exactly what happened with me (INTJ). For weeks I dove myself into the world of MBTI watching every video, reading every article, knowing all about the functions, just to realize that yes, I'm an INTJ even if I doubted it lol
Literally me rn
@@DIAvs89 Eu também!!!
Em todos os sites que fiz o teste fui tipada como INFP,me identifiquei....Mas mesmo assim fiquei meses estudando e ainda estudo sobre MBTI,porém agora tenho certeza de que sou INFP
Well i did too, and now i know im still not a intj
Just throwing it out there but I bet XXXX types are the worst offenders of mistyping.
💀
Really? Yikes! Because I just looked it up and found out the XXXX is my ideal match. Now I'm not so sure...
@@Revelwoodie 🤣
@@Revelwoodie era vulgaris pic???
@@elises8825 Yep. Not only because QOTSA are awesome, but also because I personally identify with the broken lightbulb image, lol.
Ah, INTPs and INTJs, the same item made with different ingredients.
True lol
But the fact that they are both coldly tasty
>:(
They’re so different though
INTP - Ti, Ne, Si, Fe
INTJ - Ni, Te, Fi, Se
Yeah, not a function in common lol
The feeling embarrassed thing happened to me when I took the test in High School, I got INTJ because at the time I thought being a feeling type was weak and emasculating, but a little later I took the test on my own and answered more honestly and got INFP. When I read about the INFP vs INTJ I definitely think INFP is more accurate to me.
...Also, I learned it's not weak or emasculating to be a feeling type.
I'm an INFP who always hopes really hard to find out I've been mistyped, but every time I take an MBTI test from any website I could find, it always, inevitably, strongly types me as INFP. I'm so strongly INFP that it could break a website.
This is such an INFP comment lol
Lol same!!
Same I was thinking to be more like the ISFP, but whatever. After 3 times I was like "ok guess that how it is."
LITERALLY
I did about 4 different tests and they all said
INFP
It's not about doing the test. It's about learning which cognitive functions you use.
I have no doubt that I am an INFP. I have taken the Meyer's Briggs personality test, and every single time, I have gotten the same result, and the description is 99% spot on. When I was first introduced to all the different personalities, I saw a video describing the INFJ. I thought it sounded so much like me, but then I did more research, and have remained very confident in knowing what my true personality type is. It has helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses.
Same, but I’m a ISFJ
I took the test just because, as in "let's get over this" mindset. Surprise surprise, the more I find, the more it makes sense. I show it to my sister thinking she might enlighten me a bit more, she states I'm not. Take the test again with little changes expecting something different, same result. "Ah, biscuits!"
Been testing as INTP for two decades now. I have taken many different typology quizzes over the years to see how consistent I am and whether maturity changed my answers... If I'm mistyped, then my whole life is a delusion and I'm extremely self-unaware, lol.
no way, this comment is a pure romance
Same with me
S a m e . How would I know I’m lying to myself or not?????? Like- am I brainwashing myself to become INFP? Or am I actually INFP? AghHhgh-
There hasn't been a day where I haven't doubted my identity as an INTP since the day I took the test. I have tried various tests in other websites because I still couldn't believe it 100%. Yet I'm still stuck with the same results. I try to take the test during different moods I experience. The tests claim I'm an INTP, or close to ENTP
Intp's like seeing people's reaction to things, they're very observant and somethimes stubbirn
The fact that the sponsor is skin care and that people can easily mistype their skin type as well is ironic 😅
That's funny...and pretty true!😂
😅
I was thinking the same shit 😂
I feel like sometimes my bubbly personality throws people off as an INTJ. Like yeah I’m cheery but I can still be logical and analytical. Those traits aren’t opposites.
I get sick of "you can't be an intj if you're positive and happy instead of a pessimistic nihilist" like bro it's cognitive functions not behavior
I swear i think I'm not INTJ because I'm too feely and friendly to fit the idea on the internet... I'm still in doubt to know if I'm mistyped because i score INxJ on tests😅
You guys aren't outgoing. You're intelligent manipulators 😉 I know what games you're playing
@@chrisrenfro2058 i can assure you that most INTJs don't care enough to play manipulative games unless they absolutely have to. they don't have enough energy or motivation for it in a regular scenario and a strong Fi to base their values strongly. then again, humans come in all kinds of varieties so maybe you met the ones which were.. but that was my general perspective.
This is so true, I feel like INTJ is sort of misunderstood in the spectrum. We are very intuitive and reserved with people first glance. But once you get to know them, they come off as goofy and weird, come out more comfortable with friends that we are close to. Again, it's a matter of perspective, we can be both thinkers and feelers, though one is more dominant than the other considering the situation and how we perceive it
Personality rarity? Sounds great!
“Most of us want to get the socially acceptable answers”
Me, an INTJ: yes, I remember when I saw that and was like: I know what the socially correct answers is, but I’m gonna ignore it because that’s not me
Intp, and same, because since when have I ever been socially acceptable lol
Who is "Most of us", anyways? ENTP just asking...
@@pebblebrookbooks4852 no idea, ask FJ
ugh, goals. i always fall into the trap of "well it's socially acceptable and maybe i'm biased and don't actually enjoy it and the unacceptable thing must actually be right." it's super annoying
@@StellaLoreley No idea? - No INTJ
I think one of the causes can be the ambiguity of the questions of free online tests. Especially the most popular personality test is quite short and simple, much simpler than the actual MBTI test, and gives results with just a few questions.
And also, this is my personal opinion but I think mental illness can affect the result. When people are under pathological stress, their responses don't actually reflect who they normally are, giving incorrect, distorted results. For example, an extroverted person can answer differently to the question asking if they're happy and energetic when around other people, when they're going through depression. So I think in reality "true" personality is hard to find and can vary.
Completely agree.
Took it 4yrs ago, while undergoing a mental breakdown and came out as infj. Took it again this year, a few times, and came out intj on all. And when I looked deeper into it, and asked my peers if it matched, they all thought I was writing an autobiography due to how accurate it was.
That's so true
What's the most accurate test? I've pretty sure I'm an INFP, but I've been mistyped as both an ENFP and INFJ before as well.
I guess I'll probably never know my true personality then because I've been depressed for quite a few years
Isfj, then infp, then infj
On three tests taken during the last three years from oldest to newest
How can I do the official mbti test
I think INTJs tend to type themselves right, because they are very aware of the way how those tests work. So for me when I see a question I always ask myself “Okay, what’s the question behind the question here?” And we are also aware of what would be the socially acceptable answer in contrast to the accurate answer.
INTJ - yeah, this is my type!
socially acceptable yea yea *says they'd step on other people to get ahead* - me INTJ
I had a hard time accepting that my sister is an INTJ. But she is very certain of her type. I don't want to be rude and question her too much.
Yea but how about those ESFPs who typed themselves as INTJs? They would skew the curve.
I think this is true as well. The INTJs I know are very self aware.
Omg yeah! Definitely my experience with these personality tests as an INTJ. We just know how to read between those lines
ISTJ here and I fell for typology HARD and I love it. It really really really helped (helps) me overcome a lot of my social anxiety. I don't have Ne to figure other people out. My ENTJ husband can do this - reading people, understanding how they work, etc very well. I suck at it and therefore find typology fun and helpful
INTJs are flattered, thanks 😅
No really, everyone's talking about mistyping and unaccuracy of this test. But I've taken it two times times and I've got intj, and I know that I'm an intj without a doubt.
Me too. The first time I took it I was a very raw version of myself and wasn't very informed about the functions. The next time I took it, I got INTJ again but I was older and more interested in typology. So I guess it is pretty accurate.
Me too. I took the test on different platforms, I took those regarding the cognitive functions and the result was always the same: INTJ. I got ENTJ once maybe, since my Te is quite developed.
Ive taken about 4/5 times and sometimes got INTJ or INTP
this
I took 10-15 tests. I totally lost count. The first test I ever took was the Human Mectrics one. It said that I am ISTJ with INTJ tendencies because my S and N were almost 50/50. Most of the results from the other tests supported that result since I got mostly ISTJ and INTJ. One of the the tests I took gave you 3 matches, which also gave me ISTJ and INTJ, but it also said INFJ. I just know I am an IxxJ. XD lol
I'm an INFJ and i took so many different tests, learned about cognitive functions and read a lot about MBTI to make sure i wasn't mistyped 😅 I'm sure i am an INFJ.
It looks like a lot of people want to be INFJs and i dont understand why, i wish i wasn't 🙂
I did the same, to be sure. I spend any hours to reading, understanding and comparing. Why do they want to be INFJ ?
Did they really know this deep feeling to be ignored most of the time, to being misunderstood ? (since the childhood)
These memories remain as traumas. I discovered this channel during depression and anxiety, and it helped me a lot to know myself.
I was in relationship during 10 years, during this time I didn't really thinking about myself. I never knew who I was, what I want, what I really like, why I felt apart from all the other people.
Since this years, I am lonely, even if I appreciate it a lot. 3 Month ago, I was diagnosed dépression and anxiety.
Being lonely, made me thinking to the whole life : past, present, futur, regrets, memories, events that make me feel bad, many questions, too much questions about life, human, myself, my personality.
Since TH-cam/google suggested me this channel, I finally (after 32 years) understand better my life and my personality.
Did they really how it is to feel misunderstood/ignored by own family ? It hurt a lot. I understand most of them, I see all, I see most of the time how all is feel.
Recently, I finally decided to share my feelings and my recent life (depression and anxiety) to my mother and brother by a long texts, told them positive and benevolent things. No one of them answered me. (seems they don't understand the deep things/feelings, think I am weird, I don't know)
I knew this yet, but now I am sure : we are not on the same wavelength. I understand and fell them, but it seems they will never understand/know me (They still stuck with this "I know you", they don't know MBTI or personality things, cognitive functions.)
Actually crying by feeling in same time sad and happy.
I am feeling better when I see others INFJ share on TH-cam comments, feeling closer to them, and less lonely.
Happy they are some people like me.
Being an INFJ is not always easy, it like a fight with ourselves.
When people you think they were close to you, told you : "You think too much", "We will not philosophy this"' and they don't accept your personality like this. It hurt.
I remember days when I was 3 years old at school, all the children took a nap every day except me.
Rare or not, we don't care, it's not important for us, it's not always funny for us.
Remember : "We are all different" 💚 Take care of yourself, and take care of your mental health.
I think that I’m INTJ but I really don’t want to, people often want to be that too.
@@enderman4965You can't change your personality. And you will not change in order to please or not to the others people. Each personality have strengths and weaknesses. No ne of them is perfect, or better than an other. We just learn about ourselves and the others, to live better together.
@@Elodie_N_INTJ_Analyzes thank you I really needed this.
*THIS*
Being an INFJ is not cool as some claim. Always questioning my own existence. Which one is my real self? Am I always real? Why can’t I see that wall I bump into on a regular basis? Can I turn off sensing other people’s energies please? We may look calm and collected outside but inside there’s a constant storm that even ruins our sleep. When I found out I was an INFJ, I really wished I wasn’t. But now I’ve learned to appreciate the positive aspects of it and constantly working on the wacknesses.
As an INTP, I always analyze myself. Like I just question my actions, and I try to understand why I did certain things. But I love myself and I don't wanna change, unless I become toxic.
That is exactly me
Ayy me too
I’m an ISFP and I used to get either INFJ or INFP when taking the test.
It's the same for me. I'm also an ISFP but my first result was ISFJ pretty close by just looking at the letters(I just thought I was more structured). After that I always got INFJ. I was never satisfied with the test result. So I learned about the cognitive functions and than it was really easy for me to type myself as (Te, Fi, Ni and Se). And after a small amount of time it was also pretty clear for me to be an Fi-Hero.
So yes I totally agree that it is hard to type yourself as an ISFP.
@@KadlinAlfadasdottir exactly, learning about the functions is the only way
Ha! I'm an INFJ (reasonably certain), but when I was a young one first taking it, I typed as ISFP! 🤣
I had such a hard time convincing ENTPs they’re not INTP just because they like to have some alone time sometimes haha
One of my friends (90% sure she's an ENFP) told me (an ENTP) I'm a wanna be introvert one day and...she's absolutely right
Yeah, I like my alone time 95% of the time
I've been INTP ever since I took 16personalities test, but when I watch FJ's channel I relate more into ENTP. Also, most of my friends didn't believe that I'm an introvert hahahaha.
So true! I've taken the test a million times and always type as ENTP, but I'm still convinced I'm an introvert. Alone time is my favorite time.
@@ilypirli6501 the I in INTP is not for introvert
I was mistyped as an INFJ for a long time, but I figured out that I’m an INFP. It makes so much more sense when I look up the cognitive functions.
Ngl this is the only comment section I've seen no one says "XXXX-A/XXXX-T" and actually refer themselves with cognitive functions LMAO
People who only use 16p are banned from commenting on FJ's analysis videos /hj
As an INTJ, I wish I *wasn't* sometimes... but when a coworker (specialized in mbti) randomly asked me if I was INTJ after "observing" me... I knew I was stuck with it :/
Had the same “bet I can guess your sign” style conversation from my coworkers. ENTJ
I think I am maybe an INTP because I can be very disorganized and awkward sometimes but always get INTJ in every single personality test ever!
@@rubyred186 try the sakirnova test :)
You and me both, man.
@@rubyred186 same here
A really common mistype is INTP for ISFJs and ENTP for ESFJs, INTJ for IxFP
We usually think our tert function is our dominant's
knowing FJ is an introvert, yet seeing him act so outgoing, I had to go back and watch his oldest video.
you have come a long way, Frank, and we're all so proud of you!
That's a typical INFJ trait, being able to act like someone else. That's even a reason why some people may believe INFJs are actual extroverts when they're really not. It's just a mask to give confidence and being accepted more easily. I took the habit to look like someone confident when I have an oral by mimicking others, just because I knew it would bring me a better note to act this way, since it's what is socially expected. Even though when I'm done, I take off that personality and come back to my natural introverted and shy nature. Now FJ probably actually evolved after those years and I really hope he did. But we should keep in mind that he could act so outgoing because he thinks that it's what is more expected from watchers and could still internally be the same as many years ago regarding that. Only if you knew him in his privacy or if he would decide to answer sincerely you would really know.
I'm concerned this could be interpreted as a want to contradict so I just want to precise it's only informative. I don't have an opinion.
@@kyurei4478 if you mean... Talking when necessary but mostly prefer to be an introvert..🤔🤔 maybe I'm an INFJ too... After watching this video I'm kind of confused
@@isha4496 I think it's not exactly what I mean. It's more knowing how to talk with ease when necessary while still being an introvert along the way. That's certainly not a sufficient indicator to derermine your type. First because anyone could act as someone else, it's acting at the end of the day. It's just that it's a second nature for INFJs.
Moreover, I think deciding to talk when necessary even if you're an introvert only comes to thinking entirely in term of efficiency and being ready to do what it takes to get your objective:
"What do I need to do to get the best results in this specific situation? -> act like that, do that, think this way -> do it". No emotions, no worries, no questions. Everything that could stand in your way is an obstacle that could prevent you from reaching your goal so don't let it be. Thinker types would probably have an easier time undersranding this than an INFJ actually. But the INFJ would more naturally have the skills to do so in this specific scenario of speeches, orals where a partcular attitude is expected.
True, we can act like others. Sometimes I even forget what i am really like
I used to think I was an INFP actually being an ISTP without taking the test. I had just started learning typology and just went with which one I thought was right by watching Frank's vids. Then, I started to do more in depth research and took the quiz then, viola, ISTP. I also felt that most of the time I didn't relate to the INFP but I still wanted to believe I was one, but I relate more to ISTP. The way I act to people is also unlike INFP.
Being an ISTP is so much cooler (my favorite type!). Us INFPs are tragic mistakes.
@@harseik7354 not all INFPs lmao alot of people like to give us slander but some of us are just vibin 😎
ISTPs are pretty epic
@@harseik7354 istps are cool but so are infps. Each type has its strengths. Being an infp myself and having done some shadow work, Integration and self love, I can tell you that as soon as you are in flow and a healthy version infps are truly brilliant and exactly what the planet and humanity need to heal 💖. Take responsibility for how you think, shift the victim mentality to authenticity, acceptance and uniqueness - voila true power!!!
Just want to point out that ISTP has all different functions from INFP. Don't know what test you took, but I probably wouldn't go by the results or anything. 16 Personalities I noticed keeps trying to type me as P type when I'm pretty I'm an IJ. But, imo, the J/P distinctive is... very poorly described.
I’m an INFJ. Most of my liberal arts college friends (mostly philosophy & English majors) also type as INFJs. Because of this, they doubt (ironically) the validity of the MBTI, as INFJs are supposed to be the rarest type. Personally, I think the choice to attend a high-ranking liberal arts college is a strong indicator of a real INFJ. Because of this, I have to remind them that they aren’t the average population. However, these types of intellectuals are also the most likely to overthink a test and give all the “correct” answers - resulting in an INFJ.
So am I right, am I wrong, am I even an INFJ? 🥴🤔🤪
This reads as INFJ to me. I'm INFJ or so I believe...oof...
As an INFJ, not sure, sorry :']
There's always a possibility you're ENFJ or INTJ, two pretty close types. I've also seen ISFJs mistype as intuitives, so might also be a possibility?
Tho i met 3 INFJs in total, 2 of them being in the same class and friends, in high school. INFJs are becoming more 2-3%-ish of the population, so at least most of them might just be INFJs.
You seem like an INFJ or one of the types i mentionned earlier, but i recommend doing other tests like cloverleaf or learning about the cognitive functions in depth before truly typing yourself. Also, keep asking how other people strongly interested in MBTI what type they think you are. Might be a great way to type yourself better. If someone refuses to even try to go further because it doesn't seem important to them, they might be ISFJ (they're Si dominant).
Probably a few ENFPs over there too. Humanities is like the paradise of intuition feeling types.
I think this questioning of their own type could happen to anyone, even me
you shouldn't type yourself based on tests; you are right to doubt the validity of MBTI, since it's controversial and choice to attend a high-ranking liberal arts college is not a strong indicator of an infj. Also there are no correct answers to the test, you didn't mean most socially acceptable bc extroverted people are much more socially acceptable than introverts so what you meant by "correct" answers are the answers indicating who you want to be not who you are. This has nothing to do with overthinking, actually most people type themselves as what they want to be, that's why even the most reliable method(self-typing by cognitive functions) is not that reliable, unless you look at yourself from objective view.
There are so many INFJ mistypes that I couldn't even confidently say I'm one (scared that I maybe a mistype as well). Also, there hasn't been a single time I got typed as INFJ through the 16 personalities test. It took long to figure out and I'm still confused lol.
bts what an amazingly direct question to ask.
I got INFJ in the test but I had my doubts. Still haven't been able to understand whether I'm INFJ or INTJ. At this point, I decided that it's just not worth it hurting myself trying to maybe be someone I'm not so I just stopped caring about it. But yet, here I am.
@@witelightninggamingandmore8168 same...
@@witelightninggamingandmore8168 just read some examples about the cognitive functions. INTJs have extroverted thinking as their parent function. So if someone asking you for help, do you try to get all rational informations out of him and then give him a thinking answer? Or do you have extroverted feeling. Pulling in all the emotions he feel and try to help him through his emotions like he should do what is gut is telling him is right. I know it is hard to answer the question out of nowhere but pay attention to it the next time someone is asking you for help.
@@Eden_H. Was it not an appropriate question or was it weird or..?😅
INTJ here - When I first took the MBTI at 21, I thought it wasn't correct because I had to be an extravert. I didn't have trouble talking with people and I found I could easily manipulate people. I now know I am more "extraverted" when I am stressed. I go from planning the rest of my life to planning my life at 24hrs at a time. You would tend to live your live much differently if you were told you had 24hrs to live vs being told you have 60 years to live. I wasn't into typology and I didn't give it much thought. When I retested about 14 years later, I knew myself much better and I was amazed at how accurate it was and how accurate it had been. 12:40 - Before I even watched the clip I wondered if INTJ's just get it. I feel our view point of the world is so far off that it is enviable that we come to the same conclusion and that is we are not like most people around us. Typology knows me better than every person I have dated and everyone in my family. Lol every part of me want to crap on the "personality tests", I have a strong skeptic on board but dam it, I can't argue with the results! 😆😁
Yeah, firstly I took the test, and appeared to be an ENTJ, second result - INTJ. I read descriptions of both and related to INTJ more
After a year of constant research, taking other typology tests(like enneagram, trinity, sakinorva, etc.) it became clear that I am, eventually, an INTJ. I'm still seeking proofs for that actually, but the general picture now is more clear
I always doubt my type and crave for more information, and that becomes a problem due to overthinking the truthfulness of every material and common image of INTJ
Enfps mistyping as infps is extremely correct .. my first test result was infp and it clicked at first .. but the more I knew about typology the more I found that I'm actually an enfp .. but the doubt never goes away 🙂💔
Same.

I’m an ISFJ and have always been interested in and fascinated by typology. I’ve taken the test multiple times; initially, in my younger years, I tested as ESFJ (on two separate occasions); after that, I tested as ISFJ anytime I took the test…most recent result was still ISFJ…🙂
ISFJ - I had the same results when I was younger (ESFJ) and when I was older (ISFJ). But when I look back, I had a hard time with my reactions. I could be socializing well one evening, and therefore get invited out for the next evening. But after that first evening, I couldn't function for days socially. I felt like I was two different people. It wasn't until I was older and typed as an ISFJ that I looked back and realized that I was having introverted responses to my social life, and it was slowly wearing me down over the years. Now I embrace my introverted side, and I am much more content with life...and people distance.
@@LeeLynn-vq8yq 👍👍👍
Getting a different result from the one you got last time is terrifying
Mostly just for Te users.
@@simpletomash why?
@@nevemsenki4017 because Te users are more prone to believe in test results rather than other people or themselves typing them.
@@simpletomash wow. Sorry but can I ask why again? xD
I got INFJ, but I learned I'm an INTJ after reading a 16Personalities article.
I don't usually believe articles that quickly, but it checked way too many boxes.
When I took the test I didn’t know anything about any of the types and I got INFP. And wow, when I learned more about it, I’ve never felt something so right, like it couldn’t be more right and I love being an INFP. 😊💙✨
Same!
Me too 😊
We are the coolest.
Same
Same. I was ignorant about all the personality types and what it means. I was in denial. After 2 yrs. I guess, I tried analyzing it again. And damn, the description is too accurate to ignore and I'm even oblivious about it. I've been unconsciously an INFP and suppressed it because of being antagonized all the time.
Now, I've never been more aware and just embracing my true nature.
Also, I'm the assertive type so it seems more confusing to others too. I'm less sensitive now because I'm not trying to fight myself anymore.
If they don't get me, I don't care.
I do me, you do you.
I think, like in the enneagram, the more unhealthy we are the easier to type.
When we are mature enough, we tried to balance our personality, and work on our weakneses. Thus result on 'stereotypical behavior' questions don't (fully) apply anymore, which leads to wrong test results.
Thank you! That makes a lot of sense!
I noticed that too. Now that my mental health is doing really good, I'm less strikingly my type
Definitely agree! Even as an IN type, I work really hard on, and trained myself, to be social and be more present. It's a skill I can pull out anytime I need it and I'm sure that would confuse people if they tried to type me.
Yeah I feel like people who deal with some things and then take the test and answer based on that they get certain types.
No wonder why alot of us get infj
*...*
Yes. That's why I was thinking of my child- and teenage years when making a test. Not only NOW because my NOW is mostly a fake. Everybody in family and school hated a little shy infp so it had to CHANGE. But only outside.
I first get ENTP in 16 p and I said " Oh, this is somehow like me, I guess it is correct" but then I reshearched a bit more and thinked of myself as an INTP and online tests also said that. Some time later, I realized how ilogical and feeling person I am, and after reading about all the types, I finnaly typed as an INFJ, It just feels so much like me. English is not my first language so there may be so errors.
Yeah, some of the questions on that test can be worded a bit weird. Your English is pretty good, though, for a non-native speaker!
The INFJ isn't a feeling type they are convergent Ni-Ti users so they're abstract thinkers. Maybe try ISFJ, ISFP or ESFP 😊
@@Tified967 I have it, but they have nothing to do with me. And the INFJ is pretty similar to me.
@@egover3178 in what way is the INFJ similar? Are you basing off type descriptions or fluid cognitive functions?

ESTJ here. Growing up, I've become more in tuned with my introverted side and picking up hobbies that I enjoy on my alone time such as video games (built a gaming pc), skateboarding, fitness, and etc. When I am on my daily basis such as work and college, I am extremely sociable and love to interact with people. It just took me a long time to realize that I should always save some time and energy for myself.
Hello, tell me please, can ESTJ be mistyped with ISTJ?
@@martathompson2364 yeah I’ve taken the tests multiple times and had mixed results between the extroversion and introversion. The best way to find out is to learn the function types.
@@jamesmatthewcastillo2540 ok, thanks. I've always felt my mom is really an extrovert. Now I'm sure.)
I was introduced to the MB personalities typing at an employer’s “Team building” workshop. I was a bit surprised to find out I was INTJ; on the other hand, I finally understood what my “Problem” was LOL!
ISTP here.
Way back when (don't ask me exactly how long ago), I remember getting "The Architect."
Dunno if it was accurate at the time, but I consistently land on ISTP nowadays, and I think the overall characterization fits well.
Though there are times when I feel like some stereotypical ISFP values/moods seem to resonate with me too.
In my lack of interest of actually getting a vice grip on the abstract skeleton of MBTI, and simply cobbling stereotypes and explanations from a handful of MBTI youtubers, I sorta believe myself to be ISxP.
Hello. It is really weird how different the same personality type can be . You identify yourself as an ISTP which is close to ISFP , while I identify myself as an ISTP close to INTP(not sure which one of them , only got into typology early so I need to see Ni/Ne and Si/Se) . This is why people are unique , because we are a combination of things . Anyway , good luck with your day , If I dont delete my comment before you see it
I think the only real way to get your personality right, at least when it comes to MBTI, is to take multiple tests, or the same test multiple times, narrow down the possible types to two or three, and then read articles comparing them and be really honest with oneself.
Yeah, that's a pretty good way. Another smart thing to do is to research cognitive functions and learn about behaviours. With those choices, I think that is the best way to maximise accuracy.
When I took different tests, I got different results each time. I researched my cognitive functions and it seems that I am an infj. I got enfj on truity and intj on sakinorva lol
Also lots of people mistype themselves as N types due to the intuitive bias on the internet. Idk what they find so appealing about that, just embrace your type lmao.
OMG. The ENxP, IxxP, ISFJ confusion is real. I often get close results to these types. I am actually ENTP. Recently, I relate to a lot of INFJ things. I've done so many self improvement stuff over the years so I don't relate to stereotypical ENTPs anymore. But over the course of my personal development, I have related to INFP, ENFP, INTP, and ISTP. I felt like I've become different people in many different years. But from the beginning up to now, I always knew I am an ENTP although I have often question it.
I feel like true infjs would just sit through and read comments rather than point out their opinions. Not sure myself......
I'm an INFJ and my sis and INFP, and that helps me determine our differences. We may be waaay similar, but I adapt my behavior for others while she always prioritizes herself while still being considerate of otherz (I wish I was like that).
Though! Depending on our moods, we've gotten each other's types as results some times.
"The INFJ adapts their behaviors for others while the INFP always prioritizes themselves while still being considerate of others" - all ye who aren't sure if they're an INFJ or INFP, this is a big indicator in my opinion. Good observation.
I'm also INFP with a sister I think is INFJ, but I haven't gotten her to take the test yet. I've noticed she's a lot more driven than me and is super, super passionate and emotional. She burns herself out a lot as a result and tends to get very stressed and anxious. She's a deep-thinking empath and a psychology major, currently studying to go to med-school. I used to think she was an extrovert, but she claims to be introverted and has never had many close friends, despite having a lot of peers who respected her and looked up to her. She loves books and is a very caring and spiritual person. She's neat, organized, likes structure and rigid schedules, and is hard-working and selfless. I don't like guessing people's types because I'm not always right.. but does that sound like an INFJ to you?
Hey, same situation here. I'm an INFJ and my sister is an INFP, and even if we have a similar way of thinking and some similar behaviours, our actions and reactions tend to be very different. She's like a free soul who lives in the present but she also overthinks things, while I'm a 24/7 anxious overthinker, always stressed and thinking about the future and the consequences of my actions, but I wish I could be a free soul like her lol. (Sorry for my English...!)
@@furang94 I'm always anxious and my type is INFP but I assume this anxiety is a school-time product for me. Before that I was a free spirit talking freely about my magical world. Peers crushed me and made me feel I do everything wrong and I am left with all the anxiety and self-contempt and a strong wish to die because I'm so tired with myself....
@@Izabela-ek5nh Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that...It wasn't my intention to say that INFPs can't be anxious, of course everyone feels anxiety and also my sister is an anxious person...what I meant is that anxiety is a major issue in me (also I'm diagnosed with an anxiety disorder)
All I know from experience, doing the MBTI test needs a neutral environment with little to no mood triggers and spectators. It brewed me a lot of trouble appreciating what I am really because even when I don't mean it, I tend to lean more into creating what I am ideally or might be in the past. It's an embarrassing experience as an INTP who should've known their identities clearly.
After this sponsorship, I believe the long awaited make-up tutorial video is just around the corner. 😅 💅
I do workshops on this at work & I like to call these "common misconceptions" out in advance. The big ones I see come up ALL the time are "It's about your preference, NOT your behavior", and "answer how you are, not how you or others think you should be".
I'm a software engineer - and I see ALOT of engineers that register as ST or NT and it's clear that they don't "prefer T" they just "avoid F" - which, that's gotta be some sort of shadow imbalance / trauma thing going on.
Interesting point.
I was really confused with INFP and ENFP. The first time I thought that I was an INFP, according to the test. I was really related to INFP description, but then I did the test again and the result was ENFP. I'm an emotional disaster, I'm deep and creative, I'm really sensitive. I was confused by the "E" of ENFP. My family describes me as an introvert, and my friends as an extrovert. I'm not identified with introversion or extraversion becaue i'm ambivert, I've both traits. I have to recharge energy after intense or boring interactions with my classmates, because I'll be analysing my feelings. I mean, if I talk with my sister I won't need to recharge energy because I won't have pressure and I will begin a clown without analyse myself or feeling judged. I enjoy a lot being alone, but I also enjoy a lot deep, authentic and funny social interactions. I'm an ENFP 😊
PD: I think that it's very important the enneagram here, I'm type 4 and that originated me dudes indentifying my MBTI.
Edit: I read about cognitive functions. I'm INFP
I had the exact same problem. I'm enfp 4w3, but my tritype is 451, which has caused SO much confusion!!! The thing with introvert/extroversion for me is that I need social interaction in order to analyze myself and get creative. I don't think introverts feel the same
I’m ENFJ and you hit it right on the head. Thought I was introverted because I was so drained from full days of talking to every person who existed, then thought I was ENFP.
I'm an ENFJ also. I regularly have to recharge. And I can go long periods of time without people. Extrovert doesn't necessarily mean social all the time. It's a cognitive function. Outwardly expressing how we feel. My daughter is an ENFP and she and I think and feel very different.
i honestly see so so many mistyped infp's. because like some just got mistyped by e.g. 16personalities and others think that infp's always have low self-esteem and no confidence and since they have that they "must be infp". idk why that happens, it's just going on my nerves lol
Its so weird to me that few ISFPs are into typology, because though I’m new to it I really love it ! It satisfies my need to explore my identity and sense of self, lol. I also like Psychology in general so that helps.
me too!!
Same
I’m fairly certain I’m INTP, but I’ve been through a bit of confusion
I thought for a bit that I could be ISTP because of a stereotype that they are very quiet, and I was struggling between whether I was more Se or Ne (I think it was ISTP at least) and I generally don’t relate to the stereotypes of INTPs in FJ’s videos because they are very focused around gaming and memes and while I enjoy both, I’m also way too scared to share them with anyone else hence why I usually don’t relate
I also relate strongly with ENTPs, but I’m a lot more reserved in actually saying aloud things that I disagree with, and I will generally just think it over to myself.
All of this! I relate to the INTP sketches he does. And the ENTP personality ones too. But INTP’s in general I don’t relate with their personality traits really. I looked into the functions and did more research and now I’m thinking I am definitely more an ISTP but part of me is like what if you’re wrong. So I’m stuck right now.
4:28 - I have literally said this AS I was taking these kinds of tests. I will go "oh, So this is the 'Lie and give a socially acceptable answer or be honest with yourself' question". I think a LOT of people lie unfortunately for that reason or when they know just enough information going in to try and manipulate the results for the sake of their egos even though they should logically know the result no longer matters in that case since it's based on false data insertion. I myself didn't like the notion of being INTJ (and tests often put me as INxJ apparently) because my ego doesn't necessarily like the idea that people consider them rather cold bastards, but you have to kill your ego and be honest with yourself if any semblance of truth matters to you.
I also constantly take tests like this at least twice with different perimeters to establish a pattern rather than singular results. I suppose that in of itself COULD be considered an INTJ thing to do even if it's not as efficient, but I care more about doing the necessary work to get the more correct answer anyway.
I am an ESTJ and I have taken the test on various different platforms because I don't trust a single site and on every different site i got the same result. So now I am 100% sure I am an ESTJ 😂
Same here. But sometimes i get Estp or Esfj.
This is exactly why my ISTP typed as an ESTP. He think’s he is way more social than he is in reality. Lol xx
Isfps very often mistype as infps, enfps and intjs. That was my journey and on isfp forums/groups there was a lot of cases like mine ✌🏻 especially infps, because this tertiary Ni can make you really abstract and withdrawn, in your own world. But then, if there's something real going on, we're all for it B)
The first MBTI test I took was a self-assessment on Wikipedia that gave a brief description of each letter and told you to pick one for your result.
Yup, I got INTJ, and it turned out to be right.
I got ENTJ years ago trying to give socially acceptable answers, maybe lacking self awareness. I've since tested as INTJ, my wife is ESFJ, and we feel pretty confident those are accurate based on our research.
I'm gonna say INFJ. I meet a lot of INFJs that simply are NOT. There's just no way.
I have taken NUMEROUS tests...months apart...in different moods. And I ALWAYS get INFJ. One of the tests I took showed where you were and weren't that type. I was almost entirely alligned with INFJ but INFP came second and then ENFP or ENFJ.
Agreed. I know one girl who claims she’s an INFJ, but she’s literally the most extroverted person I’ve ever met and basically just uses the INFJ traits to excuse her rudeness.
which test ?
same but idk i am an infj or enfp
Surprise:
Tests are nearly irrelevant.
Yeah, so many ppl typed as INFJ use sites like 16 personalities and didn't really learn much abt cognitive functions. I notice many of them gives off Fi vibes too tbh
I originally took the real MBTI test with a counselor as a teenager and got ENFJ. Then took the real thing in a corporate job and got INFJ. I have tested as an ISFP once, but most often I get INFP. I got an ebook about deciphering whether you are an INFJ or INFP. After learning about the cognitive functions I am definitely an INFP. Turns out that the ENFJ is my shadow type which makes sense based on what was happening when I was in HS. The J was showing strong when I was working in the corporate world and school etc. But that was purely survival. I am 45 now and have worked for myself for over 10 years were I can do things the way that I prefer vs the corporate culture dictating it. Now I am positive that I am an INFP 9w1 after learning more about about cognitive functions and the driving fear behind Enneagram.
I'm looking for a mixture of all of those you mentioned in 1 human being
Gotta say that every "INFJ" I have met, outside of myself, has eventually been found by me to be ISFJ or INFP. The latter is the easier of the two to figure out if you know the system, by the very nature of having the complete opposite set of preferred cognitive functions. Te would be the function more likely to defer logic to something like an empirical test, whereas I know INFJs and other Ti types (especially Ni Ti) to be more internally questioning of how they fit in the system, as Ti is the more subjective of the two. I found out that my best friend growing up is an INFP, and it perfectly explained our functional processing differences even though we can feel similar for being NF types. Another important note is our 6th function, which has been called the "Demonstrative" function. We all "have" all 8 functions, as they are just domains of interacting with existence, preferences merely indicate which ones we have a natural proclivity to be more comfortable with and operate in more, and to a good extent our skill with said domain. 5-8 are unpreferred, but the 6th could still be considered "strong", just in a somewhat conflicting sense. INFPs and INFJs 6th functions are both the others dominant, and that 6th slot Fi in particular that the INFJ has is what may make them initially come off as having a strong preference for Fi to those who know them less, and/or know the system less. Though Fi often shows up in INFJs with a far more negative tint, and they usually don't identify with it as much outside of stress, as they would more likely prefer to be recognized for their detached and impartial logic and ability to adapt to values and harmony in a given moment.
ISFJs on the other hand defer more to their subjective concrete experience (Si) above all, so whatever they are literally informed of they tend to put more weight on. The ISFJs in my life are initially pretty weary of abstract conjecture and anything that does not line up with their direct experiences (such as MBTI itself), as Si tends to be pretty stability focused and wants to stick to the way it knows things have worked. Not to imply they are incapable of change of course. As a soft rule I have found ISFJs to be less likely to read between the lines than INFJs with someones intentions, where INFJs may be prone to OVERreading sometimes if anything. Conflicts I have had with them are usually over the fact that they usually need and want everything stated outright. We often project the way we work a little bit, especially our dominant function, and I have often in my life overprojected the ability to read into underlying meanings I have onto other people, and then find myself sort of taken aback/disappointed when I am wrong. ISFJs of course are a great type like any other, and are an integral part of keeping society sustained and on track. No one keeps track of details better than an Si dom.
THIS!!!!!!
Or when they say "I'm an INFJ-T/INFJ-A" I literally have a nervous breakdown
INFJ/INFP mistyping happens frequently -- with people who are neither, but can't part with the idea they must be an introverted, intuitive feeler.
The INFJ/INFP mistyping is frequently perpetuated by mistyped INFJs who knee-jerk call out other mistyped INFJs as INFPs. It's the blind (mis)leading the blind.
@@dulles1969 Don't disagree with the latter part, I do see a lot of INFJ gatekeeping by people themselves who do not seem to be the type. If the knee-jerk part was meant to implicate me, I definitely am not swift to bring down the hammer, I know how annoying it is as an INFJ to have to justify the typing almost every time I am in a conversation about types or typing theory.
Ultimately, I think a major problem with mistyping as a whole is the use of tests. I realize there are a slew of reasons why the tests are used. By nature some people are more drawn to an empirical method of typing. I also realize that many people are just experiencing that short and simple euphoria akin to being placed in a Hogwarts House or taking a "What Pokemon am I?" buzzfeed quiz, not actually wanting to go much further than what answer they get.
By its very nature this system relies a lot upon personal logic and your ability to assess a rather vague compilation of traits that fit into certain functional spheres of interacting with existence. In that right, there is a reason that INFJs tend to be one of the most likely types to be drawn to this method of assessment, as Ni-Fe gives them keen insight into reading underlying aspects of people, and Ni-Ti allows them to compound their own system of assessing people off of a little Se data. Only typical shortcoming usually stems from underutilizing their Se and forming a slightly TOO conjectural assessment method that can't easily be applied in reality.
@@TheOtherDrManhattan Agree, I was griping about people who describe themselves as INFJs on social media, who throw around "INFP" to attack others' identity and/or credibility. You have an INFP friend and that is great.
People who understand INFPs on a deeper level would not throw this around lightly. For my part, I've had the good fortune to know a for-real INFJ -- I'm deeply respectful of their potential for good, but quite honestly, I also find INFJs a little unsettling.
@Gauri Joshi Nair I'd recommend "Your Never Sleeping Beauty - Do INFJs Love People" it's on TH-cam, 21 minutes long, and is as INFJ as it gets. The other thing I'd recommend is to self-monitor (and ponder) how you experience intuition. When someone is an intuitive, their constant attention is on this subconscious. If one cannot describe this relationship even metaphorically, welll...
When I first took the tests for it, I'd come out INTJ actually, but what I found was this is what I'd be projecting to protect myself from emotion when I was depressed, because INFJ fit me like a skin tight glove, and when I wasn't depressed, I'd get INFJ on every test, including the one in my career class that was a lot more rigorous. And in that class with 50 people, I was the ONLY one to be an INFJ and the professor teaching it had only ever had a few of us in years teaching the course. Funny enough, I don't get INFJ on the crappy 16Personalities testing though. XD lol
I’m an INTP who has only been mistyped once on the very first time I did any sort of personality test (INFP, unsurprisingly from 16Personalities, lol). I’m definitely Ti-Ne, although I usually get rather high Fi scores which is probably what threw off the results.
I'm an INFP, but I got INFJ as my first result on the dreaded 16Personalities test. My lack of knowledge about MBTI back then caused me to get stuck. All I was interested in was looking into the one type I got, and trying to fit myself into it. The site doesn't offer enough motivation when it comes to studying the cognitive functions, as well as the other personality types. It was such an arduous task coming to terms with the cognitive functions, and eventually understanding how they stack together to form the various personalities. I had no choice but to branch out to find more information. If all you know is 16Personalities, you might only think of the personalities as little cartoon characters, blown way out of proportion. It's not very helpful in real life.
I know that I'm an INFP because I'm an idiot who's always lost in his head, making stupid decisions about crap that doesn't matter, skipping every step possible when it comes to the annoying things that do matter, and thinking that the world could never understand me..or maybe I just don't understand the world. It's all a mess! I want to be left alone, but I don't want to be alone.
My infps friends might lost for 2 weeks or else and no interaction but i still love them :3
Fellow INFP here and you described me right now too haha
The ISTJ narrative of the test I took matched my work style so accurately that I raised both eyebrows on first reading it; on the other hand, certain non-work bits didn't particularly apply. Hm - now I want to reread it…
Every time I took a test on different websites, I always got INFP as a result. When I started understanding a little bit of dichotomy and the cognitive functions it was even more cristal- clear for me ☺️
Ah, it got crystallized? For me the functions made me realize my Ne and Ti are stronger than my Fi, which calls that all into question 😅
The Barnum Effect distracts many people. great video, hoping for more intp content
Hahaha contradictive 😂
INTJ here, and I just love how true your statement is about how accurate and precise we are. I just laughed out loud there 😂
As an ENFP-T, I have been in a bad mental state for soooo long. I was bullied for about 2 years and tried to change myself after year of fighting. I know that's not an ENFP thing but I felt too lonely, dejected and no friends at all. I could withstand if I had even a single friend but anyways. My mental health was in trash and I was having identity crisis, so I decided to take MBTI test to determine who I am. I got INFP 3 times and I could relate to a lot of memes and INFP things but not all of them, like not to a huge part of them. I also know that before my trauma, I had this over-flowing charisma that everyone around loved. I was pretty extroverted and right now I am simply....ambivert? Omnivert? Idk lol, which fits much better with ENFP. I looked more ENFP stuff and I relate way more to ENFPs. I also tried to get to know INFJs (even scored INFJ twice), ENTPs, INFPs and ESFPs because I relate to these types on a lot too but I relate the most to ENFP. I have been working on my mental health and yesterday I finally got ENFP-T type. I gotta check again ofc but I feel like my mental health has improved a lot and I am finding myself all over again. Tho I don't fit in a lot of ENFP stereotypes, I read ENFPs saying how each ENFPs varies so much, not just from other types but from their own type too. They are all too different. Maybe that's what makes us unique lol.
Back before I knew anything about typology, I was typed as ENFP and INFP. I also never really noticed how much I would overthink, mentally journal, constantly schedule and organise in my head, and that I also had to deal with ADHD on top of it.
Now, I think I am INFJ, my dad is INTJ, my brother and a friend might be more extraverted than they think, and my mum is difficult to type. I'm thinking INFP or INFJ, but with the undiagnosed issue she has, I don't think I'll ever know for sure.
I am an INFP like much if not most of your audience, but man. In high school, I typed as an INFJ when we took the mbti in personal finance because I thought it seemed cooler. My teacher was an ESTJ I believe. She hated me.
Also, have fun with your ranch dressing. I hope you were confident in your decision.
Around 8:06 "Let's see if TH-cam plays an ad."
*It did!*
Me: questioning whether I am really a INFP or not
"INFP usually get their type correct"
Oh. Ok, good?😐
Yeah most of the time I can't tell whether I'm enfp or infp
@@nisadapimp same-
@hi ? well it could be you have IN tendancies to certain situations that got you the IN label. I have a friend whos introverted, unless their with friends who are super close, then they become extroverted like.
So it could be that your considered IN in certain situations the test gave you even if it doesn't reflect your EN tendancies in other situations.
If you enjoyed the results, can't wait to learn more about it, and you were completely liberated by the outcome, then you definitely aren't what it said you were.
Bold statement. For Enneagram this might be very true but I doubt it for mbti. You would usually enjoy your result because the answers you give for mbti tests is based on who you'd like to be and contrary to popular belief, the type you'd like to be is probably the one you ARE.
@@varunlale9303 I'm just going to be frank and say that isn't even remotely true. I've been spending the better part of a decade trying my hardest to not be what I always get on these test, which is INTJ, precisely because I do not like the way I act or how it affects the way people I care about perceive me. And pretty much anyone I know who cares about MBTI says, "Yeah, that's you," as if it's some kind of insult. When society rewards you with affirmation, I'm sure you want to be a "Mastermind." But in reality, no, people tend to dislike it and find it off putting.
@@thefreshestslice4105 that means that your moral compass is unhealthy and is imposing too many restrictions on your actions.
@@thefreshestslice4105 you have somehow convinced yourself through a (probably external) idea that acting in the way your personality demands is actually somehow wrong. But unless you actually like acting in the way you do, you wouldn't act that way. Maybe age plays a role here. My idea would apply much more to a teen than to an adult.
@@thefreshestslice4105 a young person will act in the way they feel is what they should be, an adult will have a lot of identities of themselves formed via different interactions with people and hence their expectations or ideas of their way of thinking will be different what they actually are. Of course I'm just rambling here. There isn't much thought or statistic behind this whole idea.
Yes! Do that stats of commonality of each type.
I ALWAYS get ISTJ as an answer, but fit wholly within ISTP... took me years to nail it down
(/long comment) I felt uncomfortable typing myself as infj for a long time, despite narrowing down my choices to it over and over again -- incl. via function stacks. Plus, I didn't initially type as infj on 16p -- whoops. Since it's the "least common" one it made me feel like I was doomed to be either spotlit under pressure or judged and misunderstood. I've been told I'm a pretty warm and open person, so the idea of being any IxxJ put me off at first. Still, since getting over myself and working with that answer, I've made better choices in my household instead of trying to act in a way that didn't work :) Hopefully in the future we'll see new stats that show there are more infjs than we think?... For now, if someone asks me what I am, I instead ask them what they think I am, or why they asked, lol. It always leads to a more interesting & mutual conversation!
p.s. if anyone disagrees with my self-typing I'd love to hear their opinion. We're all here to understand ourselves and where we fit in the world :)
This is insane to me, but i've never been mistyped on any tests. Even on 16 personalities! IDK how 😂 I'm an ENFJ
Funny, I thought ENFJs might mistype themselves more. My ENFJ sister took multiple tests on different sites and got ENFP, ENTJ, and ESFP all on the same day 😅
The first and last time she took the test, she got ENFJ and that seems to be the most accurate one, but after getting mistyped so often we're not 100% sure..
I took the mbti test almost 30 years ago... Before I knew anything about it... And I was ENFJ. Since then, another 4 or 5 times and I'm still ENFJ.
Sameee I took a test without knowing it was based on mbt I ages ago and got enfj- then I did the actual test knowing it was mbti and still got enfj- never been mistyped even after doing a million different tests :)
Also, you might mistype yourself as another type that shares your dominant function. I think that’s very common, because you relate to that type as well.
I've taken the 16 personalities test multiple times and my results are either INFJ or INTJ, mostly the latter. On another site called Truity I'm an INTJ.
I've never really thought of myself as a stoic and analytical problem-solver, which is said to be a stable for INTJ's. I'm a hermit by nature, but also sensitive and caring to my loved ones and tend to cry during sad times. I guess it's because I'm autistic and my brain is wired differently than other INTJs.
The first time i did the test i got ESFJ because I thought I was an outgoing, social and empathetic person who love helping others. 😂
-INTJ
For real! I'm an INTJ, but I talk like an ESFJ and even behave like one when excited.
I'm an INTJ. I've taken the personality test at least 7 times over the last 15 years & I literally thought I'd answered some questions differently than prior testing,😊 yet I still ended up with the result of INTJ every single time! That surprised me!!!
This’ll be interesting as I get mistyped a ton
Also, a lot of ISFJs mistype themselves as INFPs. And yes, in general everyone think they are INFX when they are probably not. I am sure about being a XNXP because every person who hears a description of Ne thinks about me, I'm objectively like each description of a Ne user. I think that I am an INFP or an ENFP because I don't think I have Fe between my functions, I see more logical the Fi.
Wouldn't ISFJs rather mistype themselves as INFJs since both types share the same middle functions? At least, that's how I see it.
Im an xNxP as well
According to the official and very long MBTI exam
Introversion - extroversion
And
Thinking - feeling
Both results were dead center of the spectrum
Where the N and P were well with in their spectrums
@@Blue-re5gz Yes, but they feel their inferior Ne as more strong that it is and think that it is between their first functions and as there is a tertiary Si they know they use it. But yes, they also mistype a lot as INFJs because the definition of Ni is really abstract and they can believe that they use it when they use Si.
@@antonyka-pra-ra learn about cognitive functions. If you're xNxP that means it's likely that you have Ne as your dominant or auxiliary function
@@akiishitster1742 thank you for the reply
I don't see how it is applicable to my statement
Perhaps English is an auxiliary language and the intended diction & syntax was lost
I used to be an ISFJ in high school and thought it made sense to my personality type. When I took the personality test again I got INFJ in my freshman year of college and same as all the other personality tests I had taken and it made so much sense since I love observing people lol. We are not too common which is why I have a hard time making friends. I knew I was an introvert because I love having alone time but also having maybe a small group of friends but I like to have one-on-one time with people for the most part:)
Me: Sees title
Me *an INFP who's tried to type myself as an ISFP, INFJ, INTP, and even a depressed ENFP*: 👀👀👀
(I'm currently wrestling with INTP again...)
How funny! Here's an INTP who tried to check if I'm INFJ , ISTP or broken INFP :D
xd
in my early 20s i would always get INFJ. the last couple of years i believed i was an INFP, but this year i started getting INTP. so now i feel lost haha
I’m an ISTJ who is interested in typology, psychology, and philosophy, all of which I would not assume to be characteristic for my type. When I was about 12, I typed myself from a test in a book that explained the subject pretty simplistically, but multiple reassessments as I’ve thought about Myers-Briggs in different ways keep taking me back to that original result. My last stab at 16 Personalities’ test a week or two ago did type me as an INTJ though! If my life experience is typical for ISTJs, I think we tend to mistype as INTJs because when we’re young we tend to box ourselves into a black and white view of society’s framework, and as we age, we realize our boxes don’t work. As we mature into moving beyond our boxes, we feel more open-minded, which presumably is how it feels to be INTJ? (I realize being an INTJ is a lot less simple than that in reality.)
INTJs... INTJs are confusing, and I say this as an ambiverted INTJ.
Great topic. Over 40 years, I have taken various iterations of MBTI, from 60 to 221 questions, for work, for fun, etc. Always comes out INTJ. Always. Only the percentages differ due to mood, set, and setting, and how many people I've interacted with beforehand that day. :)
I’ve seen so many people get INFP when they aren’t. I am one so I’m wondering if I actually am. But I suit INFP literally perfectly.
