      I know you didn’t ask but I think a "cool and attractive" skit idea would be you to typing all major characters of the Wizard of Oz while playing each part yourself. What type would play the scare crow? My guess would be ENTP lol Also if you do decide to, please play Glinda as her as the manipulative witch she actually was.

      You gave me exactly what I needed without meaning to. Thank you for making my studies into how exactly my brain works 1000000000000000% easier! Now I can precisely identify each section of the brain and how it specifically functions and then cross reference with autism and how it affects the brain and ultimately understand myself at levels one only achieves on inhumane doses of acid.
      Wow I got off track way to fast there just thank you xD

      The book I've been writing is a Lynchian battle of the sexes told as a noire detective thriller. There is suspicion, jealousy, violence and halfway through the story the borders between reality begin to blur and characters' relationships to one another get turned upside down. Even I have no idea what it all means, but I just feel it makes sense somehow.
      I already have written a third draft in the form of a play, but I lost it somewhere in my laptop (I forgot the working title).
      The only book I've read that comes close to mine is Ice by Anna Kavan.

      No real Neurologist would believe such flimsy pseudo-science. Even bachelor level social science and psych students know this is an ineffectual, inconsistent method. The Myers-Briggs personality test is outdated real scientists have worked tirelessly and devised better systems for evaluating personality for nearly a century since this test was first conceived. It should have as about much scientific validity as fairies at the bottom of the garden, unicorns and astrology.
      Perhaps before flaunting titles you should have articulated how your background in Neuroscience has equipped you with the tools and data necessary to make the claim that this is as you say "Anatomically correct and serves the purposes stated"?

    INFP's don't mean to let anyone down, but sometimes it's hard to show up, depending on how we feel at the moment, and that is filed away in the guilt portion of the brain. That's why it looks like we are ignoring everyone's wishes and doing what we want instead. Frank's analysis is very well thought-out and scaringly accurate.

Even though i treated him harshly most of the times , he's always the one that brightened up my day. Your relationships , your connections with other people is not determined by what mbti you got or what mbti type matches with yours , it's how you adapt with them and learn to accept them. I have to say this because i lost my INFP buddy and i miss him so much. Treat your buds nicely. You'll miss them.

ENFPs for the point of view and ENTJ's for tips to achive your goals, time management etc. Once you actually start working towards your goals, it will get easier. the Inspirational flow never stops also do the things even if you are not feeling god emotionally. No pain no gain, it will be worth it in the end. I always felt bed if I did nothing. Life is way to short to simply think about all the ideas.

    This video is brilliant! That's my INFP brain and my husband's, most likely our eldest son's too, and possibly our youngest too. Imagining what our lives look like... It would give you all the input for a hilarious new comedy. Sometimes it's hard trying to figure out the 'blessing' side of this situation but then we all love each other so much, weirds and all!

    INFP and yep, youve pretty much nailed us. The imaginary conversations part of the brain is often actually closely linked with the "book they've been writing for the lasy 5 years" part (or like 20 years in my case), as often you will find us daydreaming conversations between two or more completely imaginary people who exist in the book 🤓 it is often heavily activated when going out for a walk, or taking a shower.

    This is both painfully and comedically accurate and relatable. There is barely anything to disagree ok. Good job. My only addition would be some Procrastination Center or something where the brain suddenly locks the ability to proceed to do whatever the INFP is suppose to do in the moment for no apparent reason for no defined amount of time.
    Also, my "writing a book for 5 years" area works rather as a "having dozens unfinished stories for years" which are similar only stored there and no where else.

    omg the mood regulation and doing the opposite of what people want parts. 😂 There's no better way to get the exact opposite effect than telling me "aww cheer up, dude" or "naw, calm down" like... First I'll process the feelings way longer than I would've by myself, then I'm able to remain upset only to antagonize you.
    There's nothing I hate more than being told what to do, and this part of my personality is becoming more prominent as I get older. Much more than being afraid of what people will think tbh. It was my biggest issue for like 28 years or so, then I made peace with myself and learnt to love who I am. Now I realize that I basically stopped caring, I exist and the more people expect me to change my way of being, the more I insist on being myself and ignoring them and their outraged reactions. ✨

    I have written my book on pages for years, over and over, becuz it must be correct and as the times change, the correctness becomes dis-correct, or mis-correct, or mal-correct, depending upon the times. I aim to be accurate. This takes time. And repetition. And more thought, observation and intuitive inspiration. That's the job!

    This is way too accurate. I always find myself asking, tho--does this not apply to every single human being??? People actually exist that aren't like this?
    I recently had a conversation with my mom about autism and it still blows my mind that other people don't all go through the same thought process I do 😂 I know we are all unique and different, but man, it's still strange that others don't have anxiety 24/7, heavy emotional reactions, constant replays of anything in their head, etc...
