Enjoy Venice - it's my favourite city to visit ❤️ I recommend avoiding the big restaurants along the main streets (they often have Indian waiters, for some reason!) and looking for small places in the back streets. Also, you will get lost. Often. The place is a maze 😂
Love your videos, take care of u. I don't know if u eat red meat/liver and I don't need to know, but it's good to avoid mild anemia. If u eat, try to make a hamburguer patty half minced meat and liver, with salt, garlic, herbs... I know u r a pale boy, and that is ok, but u got to have some rose hues. Pale =/= palor. We
I agree. I'm still writing this novel I have been imagining for years since I was a kid. It evolved a lot. It's still not finished, I probably won't finish anyway. I'm just hoping it would be a masterpiece but deep down, I know it's just trash. It's probably boring and only I would like to read it since I made it. And working on it on and off for years won't make it better, I'm just wasting my time on trash. Just because I've worked on it for years doesn't mean it will turn out as something remarkable and a masterpiece
Hey man, Imma tell you one thing, very easy: Keep it simple first. For real. For example, try first to write short texts, tales... or even small texts where you try to summarize one big idea.. What I'm telling you here is that if you want to make something big like a novel you have to go back and playing small. The INxP quadrant takes that personally haha, but it's the goal anyways, it's the Si goal
As an INFP I: -Write music -Want to get it out there -But am also afraid to -So I don't -But I have huge dreams of putting it out there -It's an endless cycle
Same. But for me its writing. What if its trash? There's already a lot of good works and few masterpieces, what makes my work special? But I can't just give up on it, coz I just want to continue.
As an INFJ, 1000% guilty of researching the abstract nature of a skill and never learning the real skill, as evidenced by my lifelong obsession with sewing and gardening, which consists of a bunch of books, bookmarked-but-never-attended local class schedules, bags full of unopened supplies, and a backyard full of dead plants. Can write whole essays on the ways these skills represent metaphors for the human condition, though!
SAME. I'm really interested in learning how to papier mache (which is weird, I know), but I've watched every video on YT about it, read absurd amounts of blogs, learned its history, have regurgitated all this info to every person I know, and have gone so far as to purchase the supplies, but they sit there staring at me... Laughing at me... Taunting me... ETA: However, I do sew and embroidery and quilt!!! It's totally a skill you'd love if you started small (at least that's how I started).
I know, actually doing things often enough to get good at it is BORING! Currently I’m becoming a master blueberry farmer and accomplished tiny home builder, without ever having done either of course and probably never will (INTJ)
YES, on the INFP. I'm always thinking I need to meet a logical, practical, business savvy person to team up with so my ideas can get out of my head and into the real world.
Get yourself an INTJ. My husband is an INTJ, and he has helped me so much to put my ideas into action. INTJs are my favorite personality type. They are just awesome people and deeply misunderstood. They are loyal, passionate, and loving people. They just don't show those emotions unless they deem you worthy of them lol. I always say they are sort of like INFPs on the inside. We value a lot of the same things... we just express those values differently. I'll stop gushing, but I'm telling you an INTJ will change your life for the better :)
@@bunny_0288 thanks for sharing your experience, I was looking for this because I want to know what type of personality is best for me, as an INFP I have several (and good) ideas developed in my mind, but I never carry them out because the practical part costs me a lot. For example, I've already written about 4 songs and I'm on the fifth (at this rate I'll have an album in no time); my parents love them and they tell me that they are genuine, beautiful, and I should share them because they would help people, but I never set them to music or recorded them, I don't think I have a good voice or know enough about music, so they are there, just inside my notebook . But now I know who I could become productive with.
I rewound the INTP part to make sure that my husband was *really* listening. He has trouble accepting that he is an INTP (as opposed to an ISTP) but... yeah. He's definitely an INTP, and he does this All. Of. The. Time. He's been trying to design his idea of an ideal city for, literally, years, and it's basically like an ongoing thought experiment that he plays with when he's got time on his hands. It's never going to be a thing in the real world, but it makes him happy to think about it, and talk about it. And that's cool. I'm an INTP as well, and have my own thought experiments on the go. I'm just not in denial about it. LOL
while reading this I was like, wait- a married INTP? I didn't know that was possible, and then you said you are one too and everything started having sense again xd
I’m married to an INTP too. He’s always inventing things in his head, but doesn’t do anything about it. Years later, we’ll see his “invention” on the market.
I can relate. Lol I've been writing a fictional book for five years and constantly add on to what I have created. It just never feels ready. I constantly shift, change, rewrite, and erase the world always finding something new to add.
Indeed. As an esfp, I've been mistyped as the other 3 possible options of the stack until I had a catharsis that I am actually an esfp. And that I have to stop torturing myself, punishing me in my mind, because I have this cycle of having a big future plan, step by step, and not being able to follow it because I deviate from the path and because I am not a robot (we have the se-te loop turning us into workaholics too). So, when I finally acknowledged that, and got self aware, I turned it into a strength. "Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar" - Antonio Machado My best try at translating it: "Walker there's no path, the path is made as you walk"
@@marysaotome6375 but I just wanted do know every type’s weird interests :(. Like “INTJs are fascinated by the little world and gigantic strength of bugs” or whatever, I would watch that lol.
Ne and Si: won't start until you have enough ideas and won't finish until the sensory is perfect. Se and Ni: won't start until you have enough experience and won't finish until the vision is perfect.
As an intp, i can tell that most of my ideas sound fascinating in my head but they never come to life. It's just ideas going around nonstop, most of them very impractical or not very useful in the eyes of others
As an ENTP when I get into something sometimes I will fall into a bizarre hyper fixation on one small aspect of the interest as a whole. The obsession isn’t really useful or practical but when it happens it’s all I can think about when I feel like exploring the topic. So naturally the ideas going around my head nonstop that are impractical and not useful I definitely can relate with
Ah, yes. Some of the ideas would take 200 hrs to implement, but 5 seconds to use. All for a simple reason of simplifying a 5 hour task into 5 secods. (worth it)
INTJ here: I don’t see anything troubling about planning out something as big as a trip somewhere, short distance and long distance. It’s nice to know what i’m getting into and have plan A-Z in case something happens.
Plan for likely scenarios, plan for worst case scenarios (usually done in opposite order for me), then go and hope for the best! The overthinking may reduce some stress, but usually just wastes time, as the ENTJ put it. Stress of 1 event in your life vs time you have left of your life (in your current age range too).
The ISTP description was spot on. As an ISTP I’m basically allergic to publicity, when I want to impress someone or share something instead of promoting myself and asking for feedback i keep thinking in my head that If I just make it good enough everybody will automatically value it, so I end up isolating myself and wasting all my time and efforts optimizing something for others that in the end of the day only I care about (spoiler: never works)
And if you do get to the point of putting your work out there that you have made painstakingly perfect for everyone to admire, and then don't get the immediate accolades you feel it deserves, it causes an almost existential crisis and downward spiral about your own worth. I'm married to an ISTP that I have to talk off the ledge pretty often when he doesn't realize that marketing and networking have a purpose. 😂
Not gonna lie, as an infp, I've always had such big ideas ever since I was a kid and people always said im a dreamer, but because of the fear of judgment from others, I never have the confidence to go out and make my dreams a reality. I really don't like that about myself, but I am working on it so hopefully one day my dreams can actually become reality 😊
I've learned this from another youtube artist. If an idea came to you, that is special. Only you could put that into the world, because the idea came to you specifically. Only you could put out that vision to the world. The artist take it as like a moral responsibility. Get it done right away at the moment the idea came, because ideas come and go. I was an infp, now I am an infj. I must say I have some frustrations of not putting out ideas when I was an infp because I was more passionate back then than now. I was more inclined to my own feelings that it touches people sometimes. Just let it out, you have something that others do not have.
For me it’s just procrastination. I planned to spend today working on my children’s book. Instead I searched the internet while watching t.v. all day. It’s evening now and I’m eating pretzels and watching the news while typing this, vowing I’m going to do better tomorrow. I know I have talent and I could do something awesome but I have to get to it. Any INFP’s find an answer to this?
@@kathyann9643 I was an infp. Infj now idk why the change I don't understand that yet, but here's what I do to get things done: I know it doesn't work for everyone but if you want to take a piece and ignore what doesn't work for you, that's fine. I make a small to do list before starting. Don't freak out. It can be done. Just make it simple, scribly, the goal is to write to dos just for the day. I know you want to do a lot because there's lot of ideas but what you can do to really produce is deduce the choices. At least for the day. If you wanna do more, that's a back up plan. Or if you wanna wing it, have a top goal for the day that's non negotiable. Don't be too hard on yourself by putting in the pending to dos on the single last day. Future goals/ inspirations to explore can be written at the back of like say your notebook. I have a notebook of just for the dos/ideas/concepts (put it in one place so when you run out of time for a great idea, it's easy to come back than looking for notes), the other one for the ideas exploration, sketching/ writing- for the draft. Then just polish the draft for "the piece" version. How I think about it, what bare minimum is forgivable for today? Goal to do - 70% of the plan. It works because usually infps have great ideas and vision but they can be perfectionists and get frustrated when outcome is not the same as the idea. I got this 70% learning from youtuber struthless - he's a comic book artist. Hopefully it helps. On the other side it's a shame ideas can't be seen. I know some of them it matters really well and resonates with you. Some infps can just put it out and not have a care how weird it is.
@@katnipkatnips I’ve had some success with a reward system. For ex., if I get the closet cleaned out, then I can paint the picture I’ve been wanting to do. I just have to figure out a way to apply this to something I enjoy doing but procrastinate getting started. Once I start I’m usually okay.
As an ENFP, I've grown tired of just having big ideas without big plans, or big plans without real groundwork. I've slowly been churning away at a passion project and holding myself responsible for getting it done and bringing it to life. I don't have the best preparedness for it, but I've lost steam for other projects by preparing to prepare, so now I'm taking actual steps towards the goal.
i'm an enfp too and i've had the same problem, gearing up so much for the starting line it feels like ive finished the whole race before i've even moved, how are you handling it tho with taking actual steps like are you just forcing yourself to sit down and accomplish smth tangible or are you going about it differently? all my best wishes regardless tho!
@@ros.an. I'm mainly pestering myself to just continue with what I've been doing. It's easier to continue once I take a look at how much has actually gotten done. If I could do that, I can do more. I draw from my potent desire for something to exist and use that to make the thing take shape. Believe me, the feeling of earned accomplishment is much richer than the feeling of a fantastic idea in and of itself.
ENFP here, I've been making videos in UA-cam for awhile now, and there's this weird pattern: I have a great idea for a video(A), let's make it and post it! Then few hours later making the *start* of the vid, oh maybe in another vid(B) we can have smth like that! Oh maybe the characters from (A) can appear in vid (B) oh maybe I can have another vid (C)... Now I have a bunch of unfinished projects and vids on the list lmao
My husband is an INTJ and it drives me crazy that he looks at every single possibility and how it can go wrong or right, then just sits there for a few weeks like a statue. I’m a planner, and I like to check off boxes, but I hardly ever take the first step. I need him to decide on a plan or at least agree with what I’m set on, but it doesn’t happen that way very often 😂
INFJ here with an ISTP husband (who is awesome and amazing) and I often find myself marveling at his inventiveness when creating things. From woodworking projects to Excel spreadsheets, he constantly astonishes me with his intelligence. Whenever I ask him in-depth questions about these creations, he lights up and becomes extremely talkative (which is wholly unlike him) and reveals more about his insights and reasons for creating these things. It's like he turns into a different person for those moments!
Lol, I'm an INFJ married to an INTP (so a bit different) and my husband gets all talkative and excited discussing new lesson plans and experiments, or new tabletop RPG plots he plans on running ^^
I'm an ENFP, and i'm chosing a career path of concept artist, which is (very) basically the field in art of brainstorming. It's about coming up with tons of ideas, and letting others take it without committing to it-
THIS EXISTS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I googled it. I now have concept art school (a 1 year program costing about $50k) on my list of fun things to do when I'm rich. (I have a 5 year plan to get rich. Real estate.) - ENFx
@@CuriouslyCute well for when you are rich you might as well learn another language, and comme to Europe where you can have concept artist formation for 5k ahah (what i'm going to do)
I'm glad you finally got a cat! ;) Congratulations on getting to go to Italy! How wonderful! I would love to go there one day too. The food, the beautiful buildings and scenery...very nice trip. Funny, I actually HAVE fixed my own computer and took it apart. YT videos to the rescue again! Have a great week Frank! :)
A very common area of fascination for INFPs is around Te subject matter like the sciences, especially the big ideas therein (Ne-Te), which is neither weird nor a secret really, but it is something that people severely underassociate with our type. There's a huge chunk of INFPs who work in the sciences and an even bigger chunk who have casual interests there or who look to scientific authority on various matters. I know this applies to me, and I work with science writing for a living (among other freelance things). :)
agreed. my fields of study in college were biology with an IT minor. spent 12 yrs as a programmer and am still a GIANT science geek in my spare time. high five! 💯🙋♀️
That's so true as an infp I am truly fascinated about science and math and am just so tired of being told I should be fascinated with the arts and languages they are just so boring i am like the worst at art and languages, I wish people could stop niching us down to a type bcos we are infps and more
So, the general pattern I’m picking up is that people desperately want to live their 4th function and use their 3rd function, but they mistakenly think they can 1st and 2nd function their way to that point. So for myself as an entp, I want to create a solid structure (Si) from within which my creative ideas a flourish and grow and actually be of value to people (Fe)… but I don’t actually know how and end up just over analyzing (Ne+Ti) the many ways I could, in theory, create said structure without actually doing it. Fun times 👍🏻
Yep pretty much that explains it all, an ENFP here, our dom and inf functions r the same, i like the fact that u can quickly pick up the pattern (thanks to Ne), anyways dw about the fact that u struggle to achieve ur wanted structure, if there's a thing am sure about it's that we r capable of better using those functions the more we mature and gain experience in life, but maintaining a discipline is a lot harder before reaching our thirties.. it needs a lot of work that consumes our energy, am always envying Si users 😢 but hey a world without intuitives would be disastrous right?..
You basically just summed up what each of us is obsessed with ,not just in our goal seeking and dreaming behavior but even the qualities in other poeple that puzzle us and attract us and even that we our selves project when we try to awkwardly" act cool" and be attractive , but there is a weird dynamic I am sensing ,is that while some are obsessed with their inferior functions with in lifes they might reject it and even devalue it in other poeple, take me as an enfj for example, I always tell poeple that all the help I am doing is for me and me only ,it's the can you all be happy and healthy so I can move on with my life ,so my mind can finally take a break from you all and think about me for once , I always have these self improvement plans stacked up ,this hobbies, and then someone fail their exam and I am like wait I gotta start doing their share of house work so they can have more time to recover and study , i IDIOLIZE the poeple out there that seems like they got life under control,I mean who doesn't but they don't have to be all that successful or rich ,they just know what they want ,how they want it ,actually on their way of achieving it and most importantly they want it for them selves and they are entitled to do so cause it's their one chance in life and they have the right to live ,but then I go around labeling poeple as self focused, centered ,entitled and even selfish ,and I am like if your existence doesn't do others any good by any means then why do you even exist, I whole heartedly believe them both so I fall into this weird belief that helping others is somehow gonna get just me enough permission ,allow me to feel entitled to do something for me ,so yeah this probably sounded weird and out of nowhere and just me rephrasing your perfectly well put article into this personal repetitive monologue but yeah you should write a book about this
INFP, "Full of ideas yet they don't do anything to it." HAHAHAHA Definitely. I have started writing novels but do not actually continued or ended it. geez.
This video really helped me understand why the INTJ and ENFP pair so well together! The spontaneous nature of the ENFP will get the INTJ out of that perpetual planning spiral so they can actually do the Thing, and the INTJ will have thought through the important practical details of the Thing that the ENFP didn’t want to think about, to keep it from all falling apart.
Yes though there are some major obstacles when the two Fi clashes and the INTJ starts to try to Te with the ENFP about how their Fi is not what *should* take priority. Also good luck getting the INTJ out of their perpetual planning spiral over and over and over again so that it lines up with the ENFP's goals without being manipulative or pushy. They do work really well together but I think it is more of a project by project basis where clear cut goals can be agreed upon before entering the project rather than say a romance that needs imo flexibility depending on the events that occur to last. The ENFP consistently being told their Fi is not important will drain them.
I actually think INFPs pair better with the INTJ... but I'm extremely biased because that's what my husband and I are. He helps me make my ideas and dreams into a reality, and I help him to be a little more spontaneous and have more fun in life. But, since we're both introverted, we enjoy similar activities so it's much easier to convince him to spontaneously go on a picnic with just the two of us where it's quiet and we won't be bothered. I would never try to spontaneously drag him to a concert lol. That doesn't appeal to either of us, but I could see an ENFP getting frustrated by the more quiet and orderly life. I think INFPs are really adaptable and are more likely to compromise and work with an INTJ than an ENFP would. Now an INTJ that is closer to the middle on I/E scale may be different. My husband is an extreme introvert. I don't see him pairing well with any Extravert at all.
@@bunny_0288 I would think the Fi clash would be worse with the INFP/INTJ match but you, also I would think, help him out with that Se of his More too because the ENFP loves to go experience things but they also trust that they are able to come up with on the fly how to deal with anything that comes up so why plan in detail when what happens determines the best plan?.... and that is frightening to the INTJ.
As an INTJ, if I am fascinated by a place to the point of visiting, you best believe I will research everything about it beforehand. It's like people. If I want to know one, I will launch a research project on them too.
Just make sure that you don't research it so long that you lose the opportunity to go. Some places take years to research, and by then, the place has changed, you have changed, and maybe the world has changed. A lot of people were planning international trips for 2020. Notre Dame is burned out. Don't lose an opportunity by procrastination.
And this is why my husband (INTJ) and I (INFP) are a perfect balance. He helps me plan out how to actually implement my ideas and turn them into a reality, and I help him have more fun and go on adventures. But his planning helps us to not get in horrible situations on those adventures which is really really nice lol. I'll keep saying it. INTJs and INFPs are one of the most compatible pairings :) You just have to learn how the other one communicates. Once you break that code, it makes the relationship sooo easy and peaceful and just fun. We have so much fun together and have the most interesting conversations about the weirdest topics lol. Life is never boring with an INTJ
I am a INTJ and for 50 years had a best friend INFP, it worked out so very well. That is until 2 years ago and politics raised its ugly head and we went our separate ways due to irreconcilable differences in that area. Such a shame to let go of my last friend.
@@cellgrrl I am so so sorry that happened to you. I think it's such a shame that politics has gotten to a point where it divides people who love each other. My husband's family was torn apart because of politics. The liberal side of the family refuses to have anything to do with the conservative side. My family is split. Half liberal and half conservative, but we don't let it affect our relationships. We all love each other and care about each other and we agree to disagree. I hope that perhaps one day y'all can reconcile
INTJs picking out the perfect thing for them to be surprised by, by looking at exactly what it is, what it will do, and how they will most likely react to make themselves as surprised and unsuspecting as possible...
ENFP here: My god, this fits so well. I actually strave for being stable, but I always just think about what I could do and it's hard to do it... It's just so much fun to think about it! 😄
As an INFJ, I predicted that our type would be discussed at the end. And hey, wdyk, I was right. Anyway, to save time and effort, I jumped to my type and I especially agree with the learning of new things because I couldnt be bothered to burden others repeatedly with my problems. If only, I could just live a long life to learn everything I want to learn.
INTP here and I can proudly say that I managed to stop trying to solve a problem once I understood that it is unsolvable. My greatest passion is anomalistic psychology, psychology of superstition and manipulation. I was always dreaming of a world where our civilization wouldn't be superstitious anymore and dedicated 2 decades of my life to learning about these issues and fixing them in myself first and foremost. But at some point I had to admit: humans are superstitious by nature, "thinking slow" and in scientific manner isn't natural for us but it's necessary to think wisely and lastly, making up nonsense takes a second while investigating and potentially debunking it takes a long time and then people don't listen anyways because they're not interested in truth. They just want answers - subtle but crucial difference. Therefore, my dream could never be achieved and humanity is only going to get worse in this regard, especially as attention span keeps shortening. So I gave up on trying to change the world. Now I just want to finish living my life as nicely as possible and die leaving this wacky circus behind. It may sound cynical but I have truly accepted reality and achieved peace with it.
This INTP actually expected you were about to out us for our weird fascination with robots being...errr..."fully functional" (thank you Data). Thankfully you just pointed out how we get locked into an endless loop of trying to figure out how to perfect something before actually doing it, and second guessing each solution we come up with, to the point we look around the room we've been trying to organize for the past 6 months (as both a metaphor and a literal interpretation of releasing our grand ideas into the wild), but keep stopping each time we get a step done because "this may not be the best way to do this, is this how we want to do this?" ...or you know...something like that. So I've been told. (Looking around room I've been trying to organize for 6 months....)
That video really helps a lot when it comes to understanding the 16 personalities. Thanks a lot Frank ! By the way that INTJ segment is extremely relatable. "I'm not prepared enough for this new thing" is a good story of my life in one line. I've always wanted how to draw, but because I can't draw, I decide not to draw, which obviously doesn't help learning. Same story with dancing. When everyone at a party is dancing and I'm sitting in the corner of the room, I'm like : "I want to join them and get some Se experiences". But because I don't know how to dance and it makes me unconfortable, I'd rather not even try to. I want to download a dating app, but because I don't know how the interaction with people on there will go, so I don't download any. The lack of insight stops me from doing things that I want to do.
I can teach you how to dance in two steps 1) Everyone is looking at your hands and not your feet btw 2) Dont put your heels on the ground (with rare exceptions) BOOM! Your a professional dancer!
Partner dancing is the same... What is going on with the hands and arms is more important than the feet. 1) "The woman is always right " which means she always starts off with her right foot and 2) "The man always leads" which means the woman always follows what the man wants to do which is communicated through his arms and hands(mostly the fingertips) . Now you just gotta go find a partner.
@@1lymydog I'm and ENFJ too and I feel just like you. Everyone thinks I'm an introvert, and I feel that I am like this sometimes, but I'm genually an extrovert. I just need to be confortable around people to act extrovert, and it happens when I fell people are confortable with me. This is horrible and I hate it. I always need their reassurance for everthing. I'm continually trying to deal with it
@@1lymydog Yesss, that's exatcly what it is!! I've looked for it in the internet, and you said everything. Whatch a video called "shy extrovertes" from psych2hgo (I can't send the link here). Just because you're extrovert, it doesn't mean you can't be shy
If you want to work on this, but like, on hard mode, you could marry an INTJ like I did 😂 😭 "Honey, sometimes I just need a little bit of encouragement or validation." ... "So, you're saying you need me to tell you ... obvious things? ... Why?" 😑
As an ISTJ I think the way this presents in me is I will get into something - for example D&D podcasts or K-Pop reactors - and I'll start looking to branch out and find more, but I find myself looking for ones that are similar to the ones I already like or that evoke the same emotions. I end up getting frustrated because I think I want to expand but what I really want is more of what I'm already used to.
I feel very called out as an INFP musician and writer who just spends all my time creating but nothing is ever ready enough to share but I definitely have a deep seeded belief someday if I ever share without telling anyone people will see it’s value and it will blow up without me doing any marketing lol. But at this point I’ll be happy if I ever finish anything
I related to both the INFP & the INFJ “fascinations” as an INFJ. My INFP daughter deletes her music because she is so critical of it. I just want to make sure I have everything ready, but even so, it’s ok to make music for fun and personal well-being. You don’t have to do anything with your art. It’s a choice. My INFP daughter is very private, and she wants to remain that way. Also, she can’t stand listening to her own songs over and over again during production. Both I and my INFP daughter love computers, and we like to know how things work. Both of the INTJs I know love to travel and have traveled to many places. They make a plan and just go. Sometimes, spontaneously.
@@alienswillcomeAWC I can't say I love the production stage. It's fun up to a certain point, but then, I just want it to be finished. I love listening to it over and over after it's done😂 I think I need a sound proof room so I don't annoy my INFP daughter. But, I listen to other people's songs over and over again as well. I'm a little bit obsessive/OCD that way. Sometimes OCD comes in handy:)
It’s interesting to think that INFPs and ISTPs want to improve the world and even change it but one for logic and perfection and the other looking for imperfection in logic
Congratulations to your trip to Italy! I've been to Venice a few times and my mom and grandma just went there last week. Beautiful place, amazingly soft light on the water :) have fun!
Holy smokes! I am an ISTP and my obsession is perfectly explained. Why is it that a stranger has a theoretical insight into myself that is so accurate. I didn’t even have a grasp of what was going on myself until this guy just threw it in my face in just a few seconds.
What fascinates me (an INTJ) is how the principles of biological evolution can be used to understand so many seemingly unrelated things, such as geopolitical politics, morality, behavioral science, religion, corruption, and sociology. I wouldn't say the idea of having new sensory experiences FASCINATES me, it's more like it's something I feel like I would like, (maybe, probably), if I had the energy to, which I don't. Hilariously, I am so forward thinking that even if I'm having a unique sensory/social experience I am always sort of thinking in the back of my mind: "this will make such a great and interesting memory later on". Honestly the only time I feel like I can seriously indulge in a sensory experience is when I'm dancing.
Yeah evo psych is interesting and can help explain many of our actions. A lot of people like rebecca watson are trying to discredit it though. Definitely a bit contentious with certain people. Edit This dude called 'myles powers' made a good video on it.
@M A me neither. I have a few friends from high school I talk to online but they are such incredibly different people that I keep my distance from them. Making friends is hard enough for most people, and even harder when you’re INTJ.
As an ENTP that's been working on a Novel for almost 15years... who has world maps and languages built, but only a few dozen pages of actual script.... this one hit hard. Lol
INFP here and it's almost spot on. Only difference is I enjoy taking my computer apart to fix, maintain and upgrade whenever I need/want to! I like to see what makes everything tick
INFP, Today I finally pushed myself to announce my D&D campaign that I have been crafting so my friends can join. I have been procrastinating by working on it and not believing it is ready enough of I don’t know how to DM enough. Not anymore, I still don’t feel ready, but I never will so I shall learn as I go so the opportunity does not slip away.
Ah, the oxymoronic state of being an ISTJ. When you sometimes want to try new things and broaden your horizons but are such a compulsive creature of habit that you either go about it the wrong way….or just flat-out don’t try. 😅
OKAY. As an ENFP border INFP, I can say that "perpetually stays at the brainstorming stage" mixed with "feels that their ideas have not yet been explored enough to be put on board" are way too painfully accurate! 😭😂
@@patriciarose2342 I am an ENFP working with an INFP at the University with the thesis project. I have prepered it by setting a lot of goals that has to be met before we can start analyzing new ideas. Our work hours are so structured, and we work 9:00 am every morning setting all the goals for the day. It is so so so exusting but at the same time so fullfilling to see have much closer we are getting to our degree.
Oh my gosh... this is literally so accurate!! I'm always thinking of ways to structure and better my life but never usually accomplish them...*sigh* ENFP
Watch WheezyWaiter he's the same way so he experiments and binds himself down with scientific method thus actually finding practices that work for him Nothing wrong with being a breath of fresh air even for yourself tho 🤓
the most satisfying thing ever is when i actually do that thing i’ve thinking about, dreaming about and how to do it and the details… so when i feel secure and just finally do it is like a miracle! dream comes truth! and people around me see it and approve it and find it fascinating and interesting! - ENTP
My brother is an ESTP and what you said was spot on. He doesn't do anything in the now to achieve long term goals, but he really enjoys the present and takes opportunities to do something adventurous when they come.
My brother is an INFJ, and the whole learning and then teaching all your friends and family this is very true. Which is great, since I'm an INTP and will just absorb as much information as I can.
I'm an INTP who has been learning Python and am going to be learning full-stack development soon. I was just thinking to myself over the past couple of days of what kind of data I could find to aggregate that would be helpful for others. You read my mind, Frank James.
Totally agree with the INFP. I would add At least personally for me, I come up with all these different ideas to follow because I have these barriers I have to try to get across in order to make those ideas happen and I'm unusually stuck at the barriers. Trying to figure out how to get around the barriers. Kind of like the ants trying to go around the leaf in a bug's life. Except I get sent down a different path rather than finding the line. I keep on looking for the original spot that I was trying to be at and trying to find my way there but new barriers keep on going in and making me swerve and go different way.
As an INFP, I felt embarrassed when I heard Frank’s explanation. It’s true 😭. I want to write a book series. I think the idea is amazing. I think that if I publish it, it could possibly become the next Harry Potter series. Am I delusional? Yes. I can’t even write dialogue properly because I seclude myself from people.😅 My story has been creating itself in my mind since middle school (I’m in my 3rd year in college). But, I’m always changing the smallest hints because I want my story to represent me. Unfortunately, I sometimes feel like I don’t know myself enough to do that. So the story keeps getting delayed.
Try speaking dialogue out loud to yourself as you write it (with the emotion and everything). It might help you get an idea of what feels and sounds the most natural.
Omg I never knew I could be called out so directly. As an ENFP I have a very bad habit of constantly creating to-do lists without actually sticking to it.
What's weird for ISTP just makes them even cooler. haha I thought my biggest weird fascination is MBTI, and with how constructive these are, it makes it even weirder. Appreciate all these ideas. Even if we don't know our type, I think one of the constructive uses for MBTI is just getting ideas such as how you as an INFJ might take the advice from the INTJ segment, or an INFJ might be set to jet in when it comes to anyone's ideas about NJ growth based on their life choices and circumstance, but might really appreciate the advice for the ESFP, ISTJ, INTP segments in your Doctor program videos or realize something about themselves or those in their lives about types that are different than their type. Conceptually, I think the types are similar with one letter difference so INFJs are most similar to ENFP, ENFJs, INFPs, and ISFJs, so maybe they might relate more to those types, but, either, way, can appreciate any ideas to help be joyful. Hope you have a joyful trip, Dr. Mario. With that INTJ, Tank James is back! The INTJ skit characters have been the consistently funniest skit character, and along with your INTJ Batman typing, not surprised anyone would want to relate with an INTJ but ISTP sounds pretty sweet here. Take care, Frank!
Thank you Frank, for the kick in the proverbial behind! I have been watching UA-cam channels for a year now, about how to make Resin 3D flower blooms....always finding more important "actual" busy things to do. The fear of disappointment was stopping me from really doing it! I went straight out after this video, AND DID IT!
You’re so on point with the ENFJ. I got to a point where I didn’t tell people something I wanted to do, or get their thoughts on an idea I have. Only because if they didn’t like it, or basically said “meh,” it discouraged me. I’ve finally been freed (for the most part) in asking people’s opinions about things I don’t need their opinions on.
I am so envious! I want to go to Italy! I hope you vlog about it, it would be so cool to live vicariously through you! 😄 Also might be amusing to hear an INFJs take on exploring a new place! I hope everything goes smoothly & is lots of fun! (ISFP - I resonate lol)
I am INFP and feel so called out! How did you know I was writing a rock opera and all the little pages I’ve written the songs on are stuck in a journal on the side of the bed that no one sleeps on?? Also my mom is ENTJ and that was absolutely correct. She has always had a checklist of things to do every day of my life I’ve known her. If we are having dinner guests next Friday, the table gets set TODAY.
How is it that I can rewatch FJs 16 personalities videos like 20 times in a row without getting bored?? I have a really short attention span, too. Congrats, Dr. Frank.
18:20 "I want to tell my crush I like them" "Ok let's plan it out for 3 months the perfect outcome and how I'll achieve it" Real story, and I still on the planning part, I'm one month away from actually doing it...
@@crunchybunbun Well... that would make everything easier, probably I would accept and start thinking how to make it work for real (And I reach this level of intimacy, I would probably joke about how silly I was for making a giant and complex plan [I wasn't being silly, but everything in favor of a good humor])
I really don't like the intp example because I've wanted to do that for maybe a year now and there could be a potential to market if i ever got around to making a database however whats stopping me is 1. Making a database 2. Marketing
@@RandomGuy-yf4wf To clarify I want to make the database to replace one that stopped updating during 2020. The data I want would theoretically be scrapped from a different website, however this would then mean scraping and sorting through the html to get the values I want. I thought this would be easy since hey, html cant be that hard, right? To which I found out 1. Html is kind of weird (but not horrible, just takes a lot of google for me to understand) 2. I cannot for the life of me find the data I need despite reading it on the page So what I thought would be manually getting data and finding out how to sort it, then finding out how to automate that process, turned into being confused about reading tables in html. Which is annoying so I dropped the idea. It could be marketted because the site that stopped working is wildly convinient and the alternatives I found really dont compare. Ive never made a website before so I dont know how much storage it would take. If I was able to figure that out though, and make the site not look awful, I do think the community that could find use in the site might respond somewhat positively
The tldr is that I have no idea what Im doing and am too lazy to continue the idea since it stopped being interesting. The main reason I still entertain it is because it would be a learning experience in making a website along with managing a databae though
@@buffjesus5348 truly, this has to be the "entpest" reply I've ever read :D it even has that stereotypical LMAO at the end But yea, you ain't wrong, it's just that if I hated isfjs, I'd feel like some god's gonna strike me dead with lightning or something
Holy, the way you just zeroed in on this part of me is crazy! As an INTJ that's so true and it's always been the way I approach new experiences so I never thought it was weird. But now that you explained it, it really does sound ridiculous XD
I went right to INTJ and you nailed it. Planning travel for years, rarely getting around to doing it. When I do travel, I have to schedule activities every day. If someone in my family wants to sleep in, I'm like "We came here to do stuff! You coulda stayed home to sleep!" 😆
I can relate. I pooled $400 of my money with a group to stay 3 days at a hotel by a river so we could go tubing and drink. I brought fancy bars of soap for everyone, and was looking forward to the cardio from jogging further and further upriver to sail down, but they were huffing and puffing from slow walking. They wanted to stay in, snack, and watch UA-cam videos 60% of the time as if it was a fun thing to do. Chubby dudes, watching chubby dudes on UA-cam grumble about cars and how SJWs are ruining sports. I was so PISSED!!! Completely cut myself off from them for a year til today because of it.
infp here I related to a bunch of other personalities problems too; mine of course more :) but also Isfps problem with experience( if it means practice and advancing it fully in this instance) because the deeper you get into something the more you know how much you don’t know and that’s scary and the more you learn to look at realistically the less it appeals to you.
Yeah...You got me. I like to observe how people are doing certain things, compare, analyze, see how others react, and decide if I should act the same in that situation. Something like „how to get experience without doing nothing in the real world. Did this help until now? A few times. Do I feel like I watch a movie instead of living? Yes.
INFJ here. Absolutely true! I love learn new skills so that I can do anything by myself. And I always happy when I can teach my skill to someone. Because of that, I love my job as teacher who teaching physics and math. 🤭
As an INFP, I gotta admit that I always want to do that, but I never do because of the fear that other people will find my ideas stupid, cause I know it will make me doubt myself and my abilities TuT so they always just stay ideas in the end…
@@katelovegood7961 that's a shame Kate. I have learned that lots of people have dumber ideas than I do so I don't worry about it anymore. Just step forward in confidence and fake it til ya make it. I just know I'm a bit too scattered to organize some things.
As an INFJ who has cracked open the back of her computer (SW engineer here, proud member of a geek squad) this video hit close to home 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can confirm I've done all of the above (dwelling on the same info over and over again, analogies of self-growth with methaphors with computer science, etc) before actually repairing my laptop
I fluctuate between INFP and ENFP...and my dad is an ISTP and my mom is an INTP...you hit the nail on the head...you're VERY intelligent and I applaud the practical and amusing way you deliver your messages to us:)
INFJ, your example was spot - on as in me with the computer!!!!! I am forever doing this or researching things in general. Really great insights in general.
INFP here. In my experience, getting feedback on my ideas before executing them is very difficult as my ideas as so out there that they are difficult to communicate. I usually sound crazy or stupid for thinking it might work. Someone would need to give me the benefit of the doubt, and that happens very rarely. Even with people who know me and have seen me pull off crazy ideas before. And once you get a reputation for having dumb ideas, it's a lot more difficult to get anyone to take a chance on you. A lot easier to present a finished product and wait for people to be amazed at my genius. :)
This is my favorite video of yours that I have seen so far. I watched your explanation of every type, and saw the parallels to people I know. Pretty eye-opening, including for my own type
I can vouch for what you said about ESTJ. My husband does this. He attaches some arbitrary condition to whatever he (or the family) wants. I always thought it was so he had someone or something to blame if it doesn't come to fruition. But, what you are saying is that he is hard-wired to do this. (He can work on it, I know, but this is his base line.) I'm INFP. Recently, we were cleaning out the basement. I found so many business plans that I have written over the years. I never started any of them. In fact, several have since been started by other (random) people and are successful. So many missed opportunities. I still do this. I have all these ideas and I love all the background planning and research, but never go through with it. My 21 year old is a "do-er". She comes home and forces me to carry though with things now. I also have been watching Dan Johnston's Dreams Around the World YT channel.
I’m an INFP too, I already have an idea for my future I want to be an oncologist or a different kind of doctor, but I really don’t know if I want to be an oncologist or a dermatologist or a gastroenterologist because I like those ideas, but I have a dream that I’m gonna have my dream house and a husband and 2 kids, when I know it probably won’t be that easy, lmao, I will just have to see what the future has in store for me, I guess.
As an INTJ this is so true. I've been fascinated with the idea of traveling or trying certain activities, but often get paralyzed in the idea or planning phase. Then I look back on the last few years of my life only to be distressed by the feeling I haven't actually done anything. Then I want to be that "take a leap" kind of person but my anxiety rises at thought of not thinking it through and somehow messing it up or not getting the best experience I could have. Logically, I get I won't have any experiences that I don't take, but that doesn't just cancel my hesitation. Also, while INTJs are known for planning, and we certainly like it for certain things, its also very tiring at times. Sometimes the planning feels more like a compulsion, needed for peace of mind, rather than just a tool to get something done. We're always mentally searching out the paths forward, which can be incredibly productive. However, the flip side of that is when we can't see the path, or where there's overwhelming steps or branches, it can also be very paralyzing. Great video, hope you have a great trip Frank!

great video
Enjoy Venice - it's my favourite city to visit ❤️ I recommend avoiding the big restaurants along the main streets (they often have Indian waiters, for some reason!) and looking for small places in the back streets. Also, you will get lost. Often. The place is a maze 😂
Do you mean, you prefer watching porn or thinking about it instead of getting married?
Love your videos, take care of u. I don't know if u eat red meat/liver and I don't need to know, but it's good to avoid mild anemia. If u eat, try to make a hamburguer patty half minced meat and liver, with salt, garlic, herbs... I know u r a pale boy, and that is ok, but u got to have some rose hues. Pale =/= palor. We
Venice is great, i hope you get the best experience
Gotta admit, I skipped directly to my type
Me too. INTJ, as per usual, is second to last...
@@talyahfeigenbaum9486 ENTP here. He was spitting facts
Same lol
Intj as well

INFP....so many ideas and thats where it ends. I even had the idea of writing a book about my ideas and it's still and idea.
I agree. I'm still writing this novel I have been imagining for years since I was a kid. It evolved a lot. It's still not finished, I probably won't finish anyway. I'm just hoping it would be a masterpiece but deep down, I know it's just trash. It's probably boring and only I would like to read it since I made it. And working on it on and off for years won't make it better, I'm just wasting my time on trash. Just because I've worked on it for years doesn't mean it will turn out as something remarkable and a masterpiece
@@onegaimatte1845 I know I’ve never read it but I feel like you’re underselling yourself. I’m sure it’s much better than you think it is. Seriously😁
Best sellers are often non fiction. Give it a go ! I’m INFP too 😊
Hey man, Imma tell you one thing, very easy: Keep it simple first. For real. For example, try first to write short texts, tales... or even small texts where you try to summarize one big idea..
What I'm telling you here is that if you want to make something big like a novel you have to go back and playing small. The INxP quadrant takes that personally haha, but it's the goal anyways, it's the Si goal
As an INFP I:
-Write music
-Want to get it out there
-But am also afraid to
-So I don't
-But I have huge dreams of putting it out there
-It's an endless cycle
Me but replace music with story concepts and art
Same. But for me its writing. What if its trash? There's already a lot of good works and few masterpieces, what makes my work special? But I can't just give up on it, coz I just want to continue.
@@onegaimatte1845 because there is a public for everything and yours is different so why can't it be good and a masterpiece?
UA-cam would be a great place to start to get it out! If you posted a link here I bet we all would listen to it!
I started writing 3 songs, but I want perfect lyrics, so I add one line every year.
As an INFJ, 1000% guilty of researching the abstract nature of a skill and never learning the real skill, as evidenced by my lifelong obsession with sewing and gardening, which consists of a bunch of books, bookmarked-but-never-attended local class schedules, bags full of unopened supplies, and a backyard full of dead plants. Can write whole essays on the ways these skills represent metaphors for the human condition, though!
SAME. I'm really interested in learning how to papier mache (which is weird, I know), but I've watched every video on YT about it, read absurd amounts of blogs, learned its history, have regurgitated all this info to every person I know, and have gone so far as to purchase the supplies, but they sit there staring at me... Laughing at me... Taunting me...
ETA: However, I do sew and embroidery and quilt!!! It's totally a skill you'd love if you started small (at least that's how I started).
I whole heartedly agree!
I know, actually doing things often enough to get good at it is BORING! Currently I’m becoming a master blueberry farmer and accomplished tiny home builder, without ever having done either of course and probably never will (INTJ)

YES, on the INFP. I'm always thinking I need to meet a logical, practical, business savvy person to team up with so my ideas can get out of my head and into the real world.
Fr 😭
Get yourself an INTJ. My husband is an INTJ, and he has helped me so much to put my ideas into action. INTJs are my favorite personality type. They are just awesome people and deeply misunderstood. They are loyal, passionate, and loving people. They just don't show those emotions unless they deem you worthy of them lol. I always say they are sort of like INFPs on the inside. We value a lot of the same things... we just express those values differently. I'll stop gushing, but I'm telling you an INTJ will change your life for the better :)
That’s why I love ENTJ’s
@@bunny_0288 thanks for sharing your experience, I was looking for this because I want to know what type of personality is best for me, as an INFP I have several (and good) ideas developed in my mind, but I never carry them out because the practical part costs me a lot. For example, I've already written about 4 songs and I'm on the fifth (at this rate I'll have an album in no time); my parents love them and they tell me that they are genuine, beautiful, and I should share them because they would help people, but I never set them to music or recorded them, I don't think I have a good voice or know enough about music, so they are there, just inside my notebook . But now I know who I could become productive with.
same
I rewound the INTP part to make sure that my husband was *really* listening. He has trouble accepting that he is an INTP (as opposed to an ISTP) but... yeah. He's definitely an INTP, and he does this All. Of. The. Time. He's been trying to design his idea of an ideal city for, literally, years, and it's basically like an ongoing thought experiment that he plays with when he's got time on his hands. It's never going to be a thing in the real world, but it makes him happy to think about it, and talk about it. And that's cool. I'm an INTP as well, and have my own thought experiments on the go. I'm just not in denial about it. LOL
while reading this I was like, wait- a married INTP? I didn't know that was possible, and then you said you are one too and everything started having sense again xd
I wonder how you get together
INTP and INTP? Yooooo this is the first time i ever heard this!
I’m married to an INTP too. He’s always inventing things in his head, but doesn’t do anything about it. Years later, we’ll see his “invention” on the market.
I can relate. Lol I've been writing a fictional book for five years and constantly add on to what I have created. It just never feels ready. I constantly shift, change, rewrite, and erase the world always finding something new to add.
This isn’t how I would define a fascination. A better title would be: “How do the 16 personalities SUFFER from their OWN personalities?!”
that cound be the title to any video that mentions the personalities inferior functions tbh hahahhahah *cries*
Indeed. As an esfp, I've been mistyped as the other 3 possible options of the stack until I had a catharsis that I am actually an esfp. And that I have to stop torturing myself, punishing me in my mind, because I have this cycle of having a big future plan, step by step, and not being able to follow it because I deviate from the path and because I am not a robot (we have the se-te loop turning us into workaholics too). So, when I finally acknowledged that, and got self aware, I turned it into a strength.

"perpetually at the brainstorming stage" was a bit of an oof, lol
@@marysaotome6375 but I just wanted do know every type’s weird interests :(. Like “INTJs are fascinated by the little world and gigantic strength of bugs” or whatever, I would watch that lol.
Ne and Si: won't start until you have enough ideas and won't finish until the sensory is perfect.
Se and Ni: won't start until you have enough experience and won't finish until the vision is perfect.
As an intp, i can tell that most of my ideas sound fascinating in my head but they never come to life. It's just ideas going around nonstop, most of them very impractical or not very useful in the eyes of others
As an ENTP when I get into something sometimes I will fall into a bizarre hyper fixation on one small aspect of the interest as a whole. The obsession isn’t really useful or practical but when it happens it’s all I can think about when I feel like exploring the topic.
So naturally the ideas going around my head nonstop that are impractical and not useful I definitely can relate with
Same lol
Ah, yes. Some of the ideas would take 200 hrs to implement, but 5 seconds to use. All for a simple reason of simplifying a 5 hour task into 5 secods.
(worth it)
INTJ here:
I don’t see anything troubling about planning out something as big as a trip somewhere, short distance and long distance. It’s nice to know what i’m getting into and have plan A-Z in case something happens.
Or we could just wing it.
-INTP
Or we could make a good enough plan and DO IT NOW, instead of wasting time. 😈
-ENTJ
Woow I only have plans like A-G, (like the piano keys) infj, they were driven mostly by worries of the worst.
If you don't plan properly you could die.
Plan for likely scenarios, plan for worst case scenarios (usually done in opposite order for me), then go and hope for the best!
The overthinking may reduce some stress, but usually just wastes time, as the ENTJ put it. Stress of 1 event in your life vs time you have left of your life (in your current age range too).
The ISTP description was spot on. As an ISTP I’m basically allergic to publicity, when I want to impress someone or share something instead of promoting myself and asking for feedback i keep thinking in my head that If I just make it good enough everybody will automatically value it, so I end up isolating myself and wasting all my time and efforts optimizing something for others that in the end of the day only I care about (spoiler: never works)
Yea same
Agree
relatable aahhhhhh
And if you do get to the point of putting your work out there that you have made painstakingly perfect for everyone to admire, and then don't get the immediate accolades you feel it deserves, it causes an almost existential crisis and downward spiral about your own worth.
I'm married to an ISTP that I have to talk off the ledge pretty often when he doesn't realize that marketing and networking have a purpose. 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only ISTP allergic to publicity
Not gonna lie, as an infp, I've always had such big ideas ever since I was a kid and people always said im a dreamer, but because of the fear of judgment from others, I never have the confidence to go out and make my dreams a reality. I really don't like that about myself, but I am working on it so hopefully one day my dreams can actually become reality 😊
I've learned this from another youtube artist. If an idea came to you, that is special. Only you could put that into the world, because the idea came to you specifically. Only you could put out that vision to the world. The artist take it as like a moral responsibility. Get it done right away at the moment the idea came, because ideas come and go.
I was an infp, now I am an infj. I must say I have some frustrations of not putting out ideas when I was an infp because I was more passionate back then than now. I was more inclined to my own feelings that it touches people sometimes. Just let it out, you have something that others do not have.
@@katnipkatnips that's so sweet and beautiful 🥺 thank you~
For me it’s just procrastination. I planned to spend today working on my children’s book. Instead I searched the internet while watching t.v. all day. It’s evening now and I’m eating pretzels and watching the news while typing this, vowing I’m going to do better tomorrow. I know I have talent and I could do something awesome but I have to get to it. Any INFP’s find an answer to this?
@@kathyann9643 I was an infp. Infj now idk why the change I don't understand that yet, but here's what I do to get things done:
I know it doesn't work for everyone but if you want to take a piece and ignore what doesn't work for you, that's fine.
I make a small to do list before starting. Don't freak out. It can be done. Just make it simple, scribly, the goal is to write to dos just for the day. I know you want to do a lot because there's lot of ideas but what you can do to really produce is deduce the choices. At least for the day. If you wanna do more, that's a back up plan. Or if you wanna wing it, have a top goal for the day that's non negotiable. Don't be too hard on yourself by putting in the pending to dos on the single last day. Future goals/ inspirations to explore can be written at the back of like say your notebook. I have a notebook of just for the dos/ideas/concepts (put it in one place so when you run out of time for a great idea, it's easy to come back than looking for notes), the other one for the ideas exploration, sketching/ writing- for the draft. Then just polish the draft for "the piece" version.
How I think about it, what bare minimum is forgivable for today? Goal to do - 70% of the plan. It works because usually infps have great ideas and vision but they can be perfectionists and get frustrated when outcome is not the same as the idea.
I got this 70% learning from youtuber struthless - he's a comic book artist.
Hopefully it helps.
On the other side it's a shame ideas can't be seen. I know some of them it matters really well and resonates with you. Some infps can just put it out and not have a care how weird it is.
@@katnipkatnips I’ve had some success with a reward system. For ex., if I get the closet cleaned out, then I can paint the picture I’ve been wanting to do. I just have to figure out a way to apply this to something I enjoy doing but procrastinate getting started. Once I start I’m usually okay.
As an ENFP, I've grown tired of just having big ideas without big plans, or big plans without real groundwork. I've slowly been churning away at a passion project and holding myself responsible for getting it done and bringing it to life.
I don't have the best preparedness for it, but I've lost steam for other projects by preparing to prepare, so now I'm taking actual steps towards the goal.
Good for you! Best of luck :)
i'm an enfp too and i've had the same problem, gearing up so much for the starting line it feels like ive finished the whole race before i've even moved, how are you handling it tho with taking actual steps like are you just forcing yourself to sit down and accomplish smth tangible or are you going about it differently? all my best wishes regardless tho!
@@Shiri_Yam Thank you!
@@ros.an. I'm mainly pestering myself to just continue with what I've been doing. It's easier to continue once I take a look at how much has actually gotten done. If I could do that, I can do more.
I draw from my potent desire for something to exist and use that to make the thing take shape. Believe me, the feeling of earned accomplishment is much richer than the feeling of a fantastic idea in and of itself.
ENFP here, I've been making videos in UA-cam for awhile now, and there's this weird pattern: I have a great idea for a video(A), let's make it and post it! Then few hours later making the *start* of the vid, oh maybe in another vid(B) we can have smth like that! Oh maybe the characters from (A) can appear in vid (B) oh maybe I can have another vid (C)...
Now I have a bunch of unfinished projects and vids on the list lmao
Omg I am an INTJ and literally over 90 percent of my life is planning and researching and thinking and not actually doing anything
This 😭 I work very hard to get myself out of the loop and take action. My ENFP friends help me so much
Me too.
It actually sounds like INTP's stuff.
INTJ are too determined for it.
@@ІринаПанасюк-я4у Yes, as an INTJ i see no problem in making plans and executing them. But the planning part is the most difficult one
My husband is an INTJ and it drives me crazy that he looks at every single possibility and how it can go wrong or right, then just sits there for a few weeks like a statue. I’m a planner, and I like to check off boxes, but I hardly ever take the first step. I need him to decide on a plan or at least agree with what I’m set on, but it doesn’t happen that way very often 😂
INFJ here with an ISTP husband (who is awesome and amazing) and I often find myself marveling at his inventiveness when creating things. From woodworking projects to Excel spreadsheets, he constantly astonishes me with his intelligence. Whenever I ask him in-depth questions about these creations, he lights up and becomes extremely talkative (which is wholly unlike him) and reveals more about his insights and reasons for creating these things. It's like he turns into a different person for those moments!
this sounds wonderful :)
I am INFJ (w/ some INFPness) and was curious what personality type I might do well with and was thinkin' about the ISTP - love what you shared.
Lol, I'm an INFJ married to an INTP (so a bit different) and my husband gets all talkative and excited discussing new lesson plans and experiments, or new tabletop RPG plots he plans on running ^^
@@emilyharvey4930 It's weird how there's almost this childlike glee when they're talking about stuff that interests them. I love INTPs, btw!
That's a typical ISTP at it's happiest.
I'm an ENFP, and i'm chosing a career path of concept artist, which is (very) basically the field in art of brainstorming. It's about coming up with tons of ideas, and letting others take it without committing to it-
That would be my ideal job,though I don't know if my art would be good enough for that
Oh what a dream
THIS EXISTS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I googled it. I now have concept art school (a 1 year program costing about $50k) on my list of fun things to do when I'm rich. (I have a 5 year plan to get rich. Real estate.)
- ENFx
@@CuriouslyCute well for when you are rich you might as well learn another language, and comme to Europe where you can have concept artist formation for 5k ahah (what i'm going to do)
What a nice career path
The INFP part is depressingly accurate. But that encourages me to be more aware of it and know what to do differently!
Same
Way to break out of the un-helpable INFP stereotype!
I'm glad you finally got a cat! ;) Congratulations on getting to go to Italy! How wonderful! I would love to go there one day too. The food, the beautiful buildings and scenery...very nice trip. Funny, I actually HAVE fixed my own computer and took it apart. YT videos to the rescue again! Have a great week Frank! :)
That's a sweet comment. I also want to go to Italy someday. We can be jealous of his trip together lol
@@gongoozleriam9783 Hopefully he'll share some videos of his time there and let us see! :)
is his cat even alive?
as an italian (esfp btw) i can promise you won’t regret visiting my country, everything is beautiful except for the politics unfortunately :,)
me from Italy: 👀😁
A very common area of fascination for INFPs is around Te subject matter like the sciences, especially the big ideas therein (Ne-Te), which is neither weird nor a secret really, but it is something that people severely underassociate with our type. There's a huge chunk of INFPs who work in the sciences and an even bigger chunk who have casual interests there or who look to scientific authority on various matters.
I know this applies to me, and I work with science writing for a living (among other freelance things). :)
agreed. my fields of study in college were biology with an IT minor. spent 12 yrs as a programmer and am still a GIANT science geek in my spare time. high five! 💯🙋♀️
That's so true as an infp I am truly fascinated about science and math and am just so tired of being told I should be fascinated with the arts and languages they are just so boring i am like the worst at art and languages, I wish people could stop niching us down to a type bcos we are infps and more
I like STATS ❤
"Why should I work with you? you aren't even worthy." is the word that still teriffies me.
-INFP
So, the general pattern I’m picking up is that people desperately want to live their 4th function and use their 3rd function, but they mistakenly think they can 1st and 2nd function their way to that point. So for myself as an entp, I want to create a solid structure (Si) from within which my creative ideas a flourish and grow and actually be of value to people (Fe)… but I don’t actually know how and end up just over analyzing (Ne+Ti) the many ways I could, in theory, create said structure without actually doing it. Fun times 👍🏻
Yep pretty much that explains it all, an ENFP here, our dom and inf functions r the same, i like the fact that u can quickly pick up the pattern (thanks to Ne), anyways dw about the fact that u struggle to achieve ur wanted structure, if there's a thing am sure about it's that we r capable of better using those functions the more we mature and gain experience in life, but maintaining a discipline is a lot harder before reaching our thirties.. it needs a lot of work that consumes our energy, am always envying Si users 😢 but hey a world without intuitives would be disastrous right?..
You basically just summed up what each of us is obsessed with ,not just in our goal seeking and dreaming behavior but even the qualities in other poeple that puzzle us and attract us and even that we our selves project when we try to awkwardly" act cool" and be attractive , but there is a weird dynamic I am sensing ,is that while some are obsessed with their inferior functions with in lifes they might reject it and even devalue it in other poeple, take me as an enfj for example, I always tell poeple that all the help I am doing is for me and me only ,it's the can you all be happy and healthy so I can move on with my life ,so my mind can finally take a break from you all and think about me for once , I always have these self improvement plans stacked up ,this hobbies, and then someone fail their exam and I am like wait I gotta start doing their share of house work so they can have more time to recover and study , i IDIOLIZE the poeple out there that seems like they got life under control,I mean who doesn't but they don't have to be all that successful or rich ,they just know what they want ,how they want it ,actually on their way of achieving it and most importantly they want it for them selves and they are entitled to do so cause it's their one chance in life and they have the right to live ,but then I go around labeling poeple as self focused, centered ,entitled and even selfish ,and I am like if your existence doesn't do others any good by any means then why do you even exist, I whole heartedly believe them both so I fall into this weird belief that helping others is somehow gonna get just me enough permission ,allow me to feel entitled to do something for me ,so yeah this probably sounded weird and out of nowhere and just me rephrasing your perfectly well put article into this personal repetitive monologue but yeah you should write a book about this
INFP, "Full of ideas yet they don't do anything to it."
HAHAHAHA Definitely. I have started writing novels but do not actually continued or ended it. geez.
This video really helped me understand why the INTJ and ENFP pair so well together! The spontaneous nature of the ENFP will get the INTJ out of that perpetual planning spiral so they can actually do the Thing, and the INTJ will have thought through the important practical details of the Thing that the ENFP didn’t want to think about, to keep it from all falling apart.
Totally agreed!
❤️
Yes though there are some major obstacles when the two Fi clashes and the INTJ starts to try to Te with the ENFP about how their Fi is not what *should* take priority. Also good luck getting the INTJ out of their perpetual planning spiral over and over and over again so that it lines up with the ENFP's goals without being manipulative or pushy. They do work really well together but I think it is more of a project by project basis where clear cut goals can be agreed upon before entering the project rather than say a romance that needs imo flexibility depending on the events that occur to last. The ENFP consistently being told their Fi is not important will drain them.
I actually think INFPs pair better with the INTJ... but I'm extremely biased because that's what my husband and I are. He helps me make my ideas and dreams into a reality, and I help him to be a little more spontaneous and have more fun in life. But, since we're both introverted, we enjoy similar activities so it's much easier to convince him to spontaneously go on a picnic with just the two of us where it's quiet and we won't be bothered. I would never try to spontaneously drag him to a concert lol. That doesn't appeal to either of us, but I could see an ENFP getting frustrated by the more quiet and orderly life. I think INFPs are really adaptable and are more likely to compromise and work with an INTJ than an ENFP would. Now an INTJ that is closer to the middle on I/E scale may be different. My husband is an extreme introvert. I don't see him pairing well with any Extravert at all.
@@bunny_0288 I would think the Fi clash would be worse with the INFP/INTJ match but you, also I would think, help him out with that Se of his More too because the ENFP loves to go experience things but they also trust that they are able to come up with on the fly how to deal with anything that comes up so why plan in detail when what happens determines the best plan?.... and that is frightening to the INTJ.
Frank is all 16 personalities as he knows how to play each personality 🤣
TYPOLOGY is my fascination. But I don't really try to hide it lol
Idk why someone would hide it, I personally dont
As an INTJ, if I am fascinated by a place to the point of visiting, you best believe I will research everything about it beforehand. It's like people. If I want to know one, I will launch a research project on them too.
I feel this comment in my bones, fellow INTJ.
@@combat_tournament nice to be able to relate, isn't it?
@@Wajiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 100%
Just make sure that you don't research it so long that you lose the opportunity to go. Some places take years to research, and by then, the place has changed, you have changed, and maybe the world has changed. A lot of people were planning international trips for 2020. Notre Dame is burned out. Don't lose an opportunity by procrastination.
@@edennis8578 That's why you set a tentative date so there's a deadline for all that research.
And this is why my husband (INTJ) and I (INFP) are a perfect balance. He helps me plan out how to actually implement my ideas and turn them into a reality, and I help him have more fun and go on adventures. But his planning helps us to not get in horrible situations on those adventures which is really really nice lol. I'll keep saying it. INTJs and INFPs are one of the most compatible pairings :) You just have to learn how the other one communicates. Once you break that code, it makes the relationship sooo easy and peaceful and just fun. We have so much fun together and have the most interesting conversations about the weirdest topics lol. Life is never boring with an INTJ
I am a INTJ and for 50 years had a best friend INFP, it worked out so very well. That is until 2 years ago and politics raised its ugly head and we went our separate ways due to irreconcilable differences in that area. Such a shame to let go of my last friend.
@@cellgrrl I am so so sorry that happened to you. I think it's such a shame that politics has gotten to a point where it divides people who love each other. My husband's family was torn apart because of politics. The liberal side of the family refuses to have anything to do with the conservative side. My family is split. Half liberal and half conservative, but we don't let it affect our relationships. We all love each other and care about each other and we agree to disagree. I hope that perhaps one day y'all can reconcile
INTJs picking out the perfect thing for them to be surprised by, by looking at exactly what it is, what it will do, and how they will most likely react to make themselves as surprised and unsuspecting as possible...
ENFP here: My god, this fits so well. I actually strave for being stable, but I always just think about what I could do and it's hard to do it... It's just so much fun to think about it! 😄
Ooohhh, Frank spilling our secrets!!
As an INFJ, I predicted that our type would be discussed at the end. And hey, wdyk, I was right. Anyway, to save time and effort, I jumped to my type and I especially agree with the learning of new things because I couldnt be bothered to burden others repeatedly with my problems. If only, I could just live a long life to learn everything I want to learn.
I feel you! I have said this same sentence a million times now😂 I wish there were more hours in the day!!!
I've said that phrase more times than I can count - "If only I could live long enough to learn everything I want to learn."
I also said it in my head 😅
INTP here and I can proudly say that I managed to stop trying to solve a problem once I understood that it is unsolvable. My greatest passion is anomalistic psychology, psychology of superstition and manipulation. I was always dreaming of a world where our civilization wouldn't be superstitious anymore and dedicated 2 decades of my life to learning about these issues and fixing them in myself first and foremost. But at some point I had to admit: humans are superstitious by nature, "thinking slow" and in scientific manner isn't natural for us but it's necessary to think wisely and lastly, making up nonsense takes a second while investigating and potentially debunking it takes a long time and then people don't listen anyways because they're not interested in truth. They just want answers - subtle but crucial difference. Therefore, my dream could never be achieved and humanity is only going to get worse in this regard, especially as attention span keeps shortening. So I gave up on trying to change the world. Now I just want to finish living my life as nicely as possible and die leaving this wacky circus behind. It may sound cynical but I have truly accepted reality and achieved peace with it.
This INTP actually expected you were about to out us for our weird fascination with robots being...errr..."fully functional" (thank you Data). Thankfully you just pointed out how we get locked into an endless loop of trying to figure out how to perfect something before actually doing it, and second guessing each solution we come up with, to the point we look around the room we've been trying to organize for the past 6 months (as both a metaphor and a literal interpretation of releasing our grand ideas into the wild), but keep stopping each time we get a step done because "this may not be the best way to do this, is this how we want to do this?" ...or you know...something like that. So I've been told. (Looking around room I've been trying to organize for 6 months....)
That video really helps a lot when it comes to understanding the 16 personalities. Thanks a lot Frank !
By the way that INTJ segment is extremely relatable. "I'm not prepared enough for this new thing" is a good story of my life in one line. I've always wanted how to draw, but because I can't draw, I decide not to draw, which obviously doesn't help learning. Same story with dancing. When everyone at a party is dancing and I'm sitting in the corner of the room, I'm like : "I want to join them and get some Se experiences". But because I don't know how to dance and it makes me unconfortable, I'd rather not even try to.
I want to download a dating app, but because I don't know how the interaction with people on there will go, so I don't download any.
The lack of insight stops me from doing things that I want to do.
I'm INTJ too and I can totally relate.
Even if I'm a INFP I can totally relate with this
I can teach you how to dance in two steps 1) Everyone is looking at your hands and not your feet btw 2) Dont put your heels on the ground (with rare exceptions) BOOM! Your a professional dancer!
Partner dancing is the same... What is going on with the hands and arms is more important than the feet. 1) "The woman is always right " which means she always starts off with her right foot and 2) "The man always leads" which means the woman always follows what the man wants to do which is communicated through his arms and hands(mostly the fingertips) . Now you just gotta go find a partner.
@@carissahill3414 Thanks I guess :D
I guess I need to become confortable doing that now tho :/
As an ENFJ, I have never been so offended by something I 100% agree with. I always need reassurance to take breaks and stuff, I just can't help it.
@@1lymydog I'm and ENFJ too and I feel just like you. Everyone thinks I'm an introvert, and I feel that I am like this sometimes, but I'm genually an extrovert. I just need to be confortable around people to act extrovert, and it happens when I fell people are confortable with me. This is horrible and I hate it. I always need their reassurance for everthing. I'm continually trying to deal with it
@@1lymydog Yesss, that's exatcly what it is!! I've looked for it in the internet, and you said everything. Whatch a video called "shy extrovertes" from psych2hgo (I can't send the link here). Just because you're extrovert, it doesn't mean you can't be shy
If you want to work on this, but like, on hard mode, you could marry an INTJ like I did 😂 😭 "Honey, sometimes I just need a little bit of encouragement or validation." ... "So, you're saying you need me to tell you ... obvious things? ... Why?" 😑
As an ISTJ I think the way this presents in me is I will get into something - for example D&D podcasts or K-Pop reactors - and I'll start looking to branch out and find more, but I find myself looking for ones that are similar to the ones I already like or that evoke the same emotions. I end up getting frustrated because I think I want to expand but what I really want is more of what I'm already used to.
That's interesting. I'm usually an ISTJ, but I relate more to the ESTJ example in this specific video
I feel very called out as an INFP musician and writer who just spends all my time creating but nothing is ever ready enough to share but I definitely have a deep seeded belief someday if I ever share without telling anyone people will see it’s value and it will blow up without me doing any marketing lol. But at this point I’ll be happy if I ever finish anything
I related to both the INFP & the INFJ “fascinations” as an INFJ. My INFP daughter deletes her music because she is so critical of it. I just want to make sure I have everything ready, but even so, it’s ok to make music for fun and personal well-being. You don’t have to do anything with your art. It’s a choice. My INFP daughter is very private, and she wants to remain that way. Also, she can’t stand listening to her own songs over and over again during production. Both I and my INFP daughter love computers, and we like to know how things work. Both of the INTJs I know love to travel and have traveled to many places. They make a plan and just go. Sometimes, spontaneously.
I kinda relate, as a composer. I actually love the production stage but then after it's done I can't stand it
@@alienswillcomeAWC I can't say I love the production stage. It's fun up to a certain point, but then, I just want it to be finished. I love listening to it over and over after it's done😂 I think I need a sound proof room so I don't annoy my INFP daughter. But, I listen to other people's songs over and over again as well. I'm a little bit obsessive/OCD that way. Sometimes OCD comes in handy:)
And here I am, an INFJ, obsessively studying interior decoration for years and barely doing anything with my apartment.
Love your content a lot FJ!
Same!
It’s interesting to think that INFPs and ISTPs want to improve the world and even change it but one for logic and perfection and the other looking for imperfection in logic
Congratulations to your trip to Italy! I've been to Venice a few times and my mom and grandma just went there last week. Beautiful place, amazingly soft light on the water :) have fun!
Holy smokes! I am an ISTP and my obsession is perfectly explained. Why is it that a stranger has a theoretical insight into myself that is so accurate. I didn’t even have a grasp of what was going on myself until this guy just threw it in my face in just a few seconds.
What fascinates me (an INTJ) is how the principles of biological evolution can be used to understand so many seemingly unrelated things, such as geopolitical politics, morality, behavioral science, religion, corruption, and sociology.
I wouldn't say the idea of having new sensory experiences FASCINATES me, it's more like it's something I feel like I would like, (maybe, probably), if I had the energy to, which I don't. Hilariously, I am so forward thinking that even if I'm having a unique sensory/social experience I am always sort of thinking in the back of my mind: "this will make such a great and interesting memory later on". Honestly the only time I feel like I can seriously indulge in a sensory experience is when I'm dancing.
Yeah evo psych is interesting and can help explain many of our actions. A lot of people like rebecca watson are trying to discredit it though. Definitely a bit contentious with certain people.
Edit
This dude called 'myles powers' made a good video on it.
@M A me neither. I have a few friends from high school I talk to online but they are such incredibly different people that I keep my distance from them. Making friends is hard enough for most people, and even harder when you’re INTJ.
As an ENTP that's been working on a Novel for almost 15years... who has world maps and languages built, but only a few dozen pages of actual script.... this one hit hard. Lol
I think this is one of the best FJ videos ever. Learnt so much and I can see how these apply.
The examples and explanations were very insightful.
INFP here and it's almost spot on. Only difference is I enjoy taking my computer apart to fix, maintain and upgrade whenever I need/want to! I like to see what makes everything tick
hi! could you talk more about that? I'm an enfj and what you said is so exactly my infp friend too
INFP, Today I finally pushed myself to announce my D&D campaign that I have been crafting so my friends can join. I have been procrastinating by working on it and not believing it is ready enough of I don’t know how to DM enough. Not anymore, I still don’t feel ready, but I never will so I shall learn as I go so the opportunity does not slip away.
Ah, the oxymoronic state of being an ISTJ. When you sometimes want to try new things and broaden your horizons but are such a compulsive creature of habit that you either go about it the wrong way….or just flat-out don’t try. 😅
OKAY. As an ENFP border INFP, I can say that "perpetually stays at the brainstorming stage" mixed with "feels that their ideas have not yet been explored enough to be put on board" are way too painfully accurate! 😭😂
Infp too. Ideas never explored enough, never enough research and maybe even not enough education to share ideas or expect to be taken seriously. 😣
@@patriciarose2342 I am an ENFP working with an INFP at the University with the thesis project. I have prepered it by setting a lot of goals that has to be met before we can start analyzing new ideas.
Our work hours are so structured, and we work 9:00 am every morning setting all the goals for the day. It is so so so exusting but at the same time so fullfilling to see have much closer we are getting to our degree.
Oh my gosh... this is literally so accurate!! I'm always thinking of ways to structure and better my life but never usually accomplish them...*sigh*
ENFP
Watch WheezyWaiter he's the same way so he experiments and binds himself down with scientific method thus actually finding practices that work for him
Nothing wrong with being a breath of fresh air even for yourself tho 🤓
the most satisfying thing ever is when i actually do that thing i’ve thinking about, dreaming about and how to do it and the details… so when i feel secure and just finally do it is like a miracle! dream comes truth! and people around me see it and approve it and find it fascinating and interesting! - ENTP
The INFP one was excruciatingly painfully accurate.
My brother is an ESTP and what you said was spot on. He doesn't do anything in the now to achieve long term goals, but he really enjoys the present and takes opportunities to do something adventurous when they come.
My brother is an INFJ, and the whole learning and then teaching all your friends and family this is very true. Which is great, since I'm an INTP and will just absorb as much information as I can.
9:36
I, an entj that is planning to open a café/restaurant in the future because i love food and cooking/baking is offended and is felt attacked.
I'm an INTP who has been learning Python and am going to be learning full-stack development soon. I was just thinking to myself over the past couple of days of what kind of data I could find to aggregate that would be helpful for others. You read my mind, Frank James.
Totally agree with the INFP. I would add At least personally for me, I come up with all these different ideas to follow because I have these barriers I have to try to get across in order to make those ideas happen and I'm unusually stuck at the barriers. Trying to figure out how to get around the barriers. Kind of like the ants trying to go around the leaf in a bug's life. Except I get sent down a different path rather than finding the line. I keep on looking for the original spot that I was trying to be at and trying to find my way there but new barriers keep on going in and making me swerve and go different way.
Ohh. I feel this during my jobhunt :(
As an INFP, I felt embarrassed when I heard Frank’s explanation. It’s true 😭. I want to write a book series. I think the idea is amazing. I think that if I publish it, it could possibly become the next Harry Potter series. Am I delusional? Yes. I can’t even write dialogue properly because I seclude myself from people.😅 My story has been creating itself in my mind since middle school (I’m in my 3rd year in college). But, I’m always changing the smallest hints because I want my story to represent me. Unfortunately, I sometimes feel like I don’t know myself enough to do that. So the story keeps getting delayed.
Try speaking dialogue out loud to yourself as you write it (with the emotion and everything). It might help you get an idea of what feels and sounds the most natural.
@@TiaTam Thank you!
@@abbasturd You're welcome!
Omg I never knew I could be called out so directly. As an ENFP I have a very bad habit of constantly creating to-do lists without actually sticking to it.
What's weird for ISTP just makes them even cooler. haha I thought my biggest weird fascination is MBTI, and with how constructive these are, it makes it even weirder. Appreciate all these ideas. Even if we don't know our type, I think one of the constructive uses for MBTI is just getting ideas such as how you as an INFJ might take the advice from the INTJ segment, or an INFJ might be set to jet in when it comes to anyone's ideas about NJ growth based on their life choices and circumstance, but might really appreciate the advice for the ESFP, ISTJ, INTP segments in your Doctor program videos or realize something about themselves or those in their lives about types that are different than their type. Conceptually, I think the types are similar with one letter difference so INFJs are most similar to ENFP, ENFJs, INFPs, and ISFJs, so maybe they might relate more to those types, but, either, way, can appreciate any ideas to help be joyful.
Hope you have a joyful trip, Dr. Mario. With that INTJ, Tank James is back! The INTJ skit characters have been the consistently funniest skit character, and along with your INTJ Batman typing, not surprised anyone would want to relate with an INTJ but ISTP sounds pretty sweet here. Take care, Frank!
You expose me so much and I love how it hurts 😭
The ISFP one makes me think of all the times I had to figure something out and was like "I need more clues to be 100% sure!"
Yess exactly and it's such a pain in the ass bc we never get anything done
Thank you Frank, for the kick in the proverbial behind!
I have been watching UA-cam channels for a year now, about how to make Resin 3D flower blooms....always finding more important "actual" busy things to do. The fear of disappointment was stopping me from really doing it! I went straight out after this video, AND DID IT!
@Melissa Phillis That's so cool!
Waiting on the "I'm not that frank James" video lol
You’re so on point with the ENFJ. I got to a point where I didn’t tell people something I wanted to do, or get their thoughts on an idea I have. Only because if they didn’t like it, or basically said “meh,” it discouraged me. I’ve finally been freed (for the most part) in asking people’s opinions about things I don’t need their opinions on.
I am so envious! I want to go to Italy! I hope you vlog about it, it would be so cool to live vicariously through you! 😄 Also might be amusing to hear an INFJs take on exploring a new place! I hope everything goes smoothly & is lots of fun! (ISFP - I resonate lol)
I am INFP and feel so called out! How did you know I was writing a rock opera and all the little pages I’ve written the songs on are stuck in a journal on the side of the bed that no one sleeps on?? Also my mom is ENTJ and that was absolutely correct. She has always had a checklist of things to do every day of my life I’ve known her. If we are having dinner guests next Friday, the table gets set TODAY.
How is it that I can rewatch FJs 16 personalities videos like 20 times in a row without getting bored?? I have a really short attention span, too. Congrats, Dr. Frank.

I want to make the database to replace one that stopped updating during 2020.

So what I thought would be manually getting data and finding out how to sort it, then finding out how to automate that process, turned into being confused about reading tables in html. Which is annoying so I dropped the idea.
It could be marketted because the site that stopped working is wildly convinient and the alternatives I found really dont compare. Ive never made a website before so I dont know how much storage it would take. If I was able to figure that out though, and make the site not look awful, I do think the community that could find use in the site might respond somewhat positively
The tldr is that I have no idea what Im doing and am too lazy to continue the idea since it stopped being interesting. The main reason I still entertain it is because it would be a learning experience in making a website along with managing a databae though
Once again, ESFP, your on point! I want to have everything planned out.. and plan on doing something Theater related (or teaching).
weird things that fascinates me as an entp are isfjs tbh they’re cute
Everyone likes isfjs ^^ I think you kinda have to - they're just too nice
@@legasius9358 sry to be like that but nope, I know a lot of ppl who hate them LMAO
@@buffjesus5348 truly, this has to be the "entpest" reply I've ever read :D it even has that stereotypical LMAO at the end
But yea, you ain't wrong, it's just that if I hated isfjs, I'd feel like some god's gonna strike me dead with lightning or something
Holy, the way you just zeroed in on this part of me is crazy! As an INTJ that's so true and it's always been the way I approach new experiences so I never thought it was weird. But now that you explained it, it really does sound ridiculous XD
I went right to INTJ and you nailed it. Planning travel for years, rarely getting around to doing it. When I do travel, I have to schedule activities every day. If someone in my family wants to sleep in, I'm like "We came here to do stuff! You coulda stayed home to sleep!" 😆
I can relate.
I pooled $400 of my money with a group to stay 3 days at a hotel by a river so we could go tubing and drink.
I brought fancy bars of soap for everyone, and was looking forward to the cardio from jogging further and further upriver to sail down, but they were huffing and puffing from slow walking.
They wanted to stay in, snack, and watch UA-cam videos 60% of the time as if it was a fun thing to do. Chubby dudes, watching chubby dudes on UA-cam grumble about cars and how SJWs are ruining sports.
I was so PISSED!!! Completely cut myself off from them for a year til today because of it.
infp here I related to a bunch of other personalities problems too; mine of course more :) but also Isfps problem with experience( if it means practice and advancing it fully in this instance) because the deeper you get into something the more you know how much you don’t know and that’s scary and the more you learn to look at realistically the less it appeals to you.
Are you really going to Italy soon? That’s so cool! Venice is amazing, I hope you have a wondrous trip!
Man, you nailed this ENFP to the wall... 🙈 This got personal fast for me! Also, I loved the visualization on the board. That was super helpful!
INTJ - wants to do new things/experiences... plans for any and all possibilities so we don't look like an idiot/unprepared while doing it - yup...
Yeah...You got me.
I like to observe how people are doing certain things, compare, analyze, see how others react, and decide if I should act the same in that situation. Something like „how to get experience without doing nothing in the real world.
Did this help until now? A few times.
Do I feel like I watch a movie instead of living? Yes.
Not an ESTP, but that 5-year plan quote hit me like a train
INFJ here. Absolutely true! I love learn new skills so that I can do anything by myself. And I always happy when I can teach my skill to someone. Because of that, I love my job as teacher who teaching physics and math. 🤭
As an infp I try to give my decent ideas to someone else to run with if they want to.
INFP here. I'm too selfish, I could never do that.
As an INFP, I gotta admit that I always want to do that, but I never do because of the fear that other people will find my ideas stupid, cause I know it will make me doubt myself and my abilities TuT so they always just stay ideas in the end…
In my case I just do that with ideas I know I won't be working on
@@katelovegood7961 that's a shame Kate. I have learned that lots of people have dumber ideas than I do so I don't worry about it anymore. Just step forward in confidence and fake it til ya make it. I just know I'm a bit too scattered to organize some things.
I really appreciate the concrete examples you've put in! The Venice example and all that
I thought you were going to kink shame the personalities for 20 minutes
As an INFJ who has cracked open the back of her computer (SW engineer here, proud member of a geek squad) this video hit close to home 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can confirm I've done all of the above (dwelling on the same info over and over again, analogies of self-growth with methaphors with computer science, etc) before actually repairing my laptop
I didn’t see him post last Sunday so I’m happy he posted today! 😅
Woooooooowwww infj here and this was spot on!!!!! 🤯
I fluctuate between INFP and ENFP...and my dad is an ISTP and my mom is an INTP...you hit the nail on the head...you're VERY intelligent and I applaud the practical and amusing way you deliver your messages to us:)
INFJ, your example was spot - on as in me with the computer!!!!! I am forever doing this or researching things in general. Really great insights in general.
INFP here. In my experience, getting feedback on my ideas before executing them is very difficult as my ideas as so out there that they are difficult to communicate. I usually sound crazy or stupid for thinking it might work. Someone would need to give me the benefit of the doubt, and that happens very rarely. Even with people who know me and have seen me pull off crazy ideas before. And once you get a reputation for having dumb ideas, it's a lot more difficult to get anyone to take a chance on you.
A lot easier to present a finished product and wait for people to be amazed at my genius. :)
Your next video should be in Venice riding a gondola.
I'm loving the hair today Frank
This is my favorite video of yours that I have seen so far. I watched your explanation of every type, and saw the parallels to people I know. Pretty eye-opening, including for my own type
I can vouch for what you said about ESTJ. My husband does this. He attaches some arbitrary condition to whatever he (or the family) wants. I always thought it was so he had someone or something to blame if it doesn't come to fruition. But, what you are saying is that he is hard-wired to do this. (He can work on it, I know, but this is his base line.)
I'm INFP. Recently, we were cleaning out the basement. I found so many business plans that I have written over the years. I never started any of them. In fact, several have since been started by other (random) people and are successful. So many missed opportunities. I still do this. I have all these ideas and I love all the background planning and research, but never go through with it. My 21 year old is a "do-er". She comes home and forces me to carry though with things now. I also have been watching Dan Johnston's Dreams Around the World YT channel.
I’m an INFP too, I already have an idea for my future I want to be an oncologist or a different kind of doctor, but I really don’t know if I want to be an oncologist or a dermatologist or a gastroenterologist because I like those ideas, but I have a dream that I’m gonna have my dream house and a husband and 2 kids, when I know it probably won’t be that easy, lmao, I will just have to see what the future has in store for me, I guess.
Right now I’m also debating doing something in psychology, like being a counsellor or a therapist, but I really don’t know
@@Kiwi-np3sy I wish you the best in whichever direction you choose.😃
As an INTJ this is so true. I've been fascinated with the idea of traveling or trying certain activities, but often get paralyzed in the idea or planning phase. Then I look back on the last few years of my life only to be distressed by the feeling I haven't actually done anything. Then I want to be that "take a leap" kind of person but my anxiety rises at thought of not thinking it through and somehow messing it up or not getting the best experience I could have. Logically, I get I won't have any experiences that I don't take, but that doesn't just cancel my hesitation.
Also, while INTJs are known for planning, and we certainly like it for certain things, its also very tiring at times. Sometimes the planning feels more like a compulsion, needed for peace of mind, rather than just a tool to get something done. We're always mentally searching out the paths forward, which can be incredibly productive. However, the flip side of that is when we can't see the path, or where there's overwhelming steps or branches, it can also be very paralyzing.
Great video, hope you have a great trip Frank!
