I feel like I've learned something, but understood nothing
Indeed.
Same
Wait until you evolve into the Objective Personality system. It's like starting all over again.
Yep
@@CaveyMoth what...... :O
"This is unacceptable. You don't know the f-ing functions?" - loved that.
"Actually there are not 4 functions, there's 8"
I was good untill this part.
Right?! I’m like, this feels like math even though it’s not.
It's actually really easy to understand, if you use introverted intuition LOLOOOLOL
this video was way better for me ua-cam.com/video/8kqv9eE8TNw/v-deo.html
@@LoveAndSnapple It’s very simple once you discover the patterns.
Let’s say you’re an ENFP
Here’s your stack
Ne, Fi, Te, Si/Ni, Fe, Ti, Se
@@koalakultofficial yeahh I suppose so, I'm Ni dom so it was actually easy to understand and I didn't get why people thought it was so difficult to understand but again I think we all having different degrees of understanding certain things, just like I don't understand Trigonometry easily T-T
"This one, you're an all star, get your game on, go play.
This one, you're terrible at, and now you just need a place to hide away."

Frank James what is weird about this i was gonna expect you'd be suited to be called Professor before u said it, INFJ btw lol
@@FrankJames professor INFJ
yesss please do a video on extraverted sensing it’s ruining my life real bad
OK!
LOL literally I said to myself today “why am I so bad at life, like horrible”
ua-cam.com/video/p_f6gf0a0i4/v-deo.html
@@phlebdouglas lol 😂😂😂
(Yeah but like inferior extraverted sensing. Which is very different than dominant extraverted sensing.)
God damn, Frank. You may think your old videos are not that great, but this one is just pure gold. Content, editing and everything. Seriously still one of my favourite videos of yours.
well thanks
I totally agree rambling rapscallion. I've watched alot of the new videos, but this one has a certain charm to it and very entertaining.
Doesn't feel like school unless an overhead projector is involved
Our budget was cut so no projector, no blackboard, just a guy writing in sharpie in a notebook
Just Jae 😂
It's not a problem, all of the students are very good at projecting in their own head.
6:25 how did you manage to fit a smash mouth reference and a Beatles reference in the same sentence
and so beautifully that they rhyme as well
"No one knows anything," basically my philosophy in life.
This is so hard. No way am I passing this test. Stop trying to make me learn. I'm here for man feels. I need those salty salty tears.
LOL It's edutainment
you should make a video about struggles in school/corporate environments for infj's
That's a good idea
@@FrankJames please do this asap
And INFP's
@@claudiachadwick1995 Yes!
Omg 😭I can
Thank you Professor Bing.I think I need to do some extra homework on this.
Get some book learnin
I've watched so many videos to learn about functions and honestly I felt more confused each time, but you made it clear easily, love your vids
You make my day
You make MY day!
thank you professor FJ
Any time ;)
Do I have to leave the house for extraverted sensing? I thought I could just sit here and kinda sense what's going on out there from here. I love you
LOL, you don't have to leave the house, but it can help. Love ya too :)
I don't know. I've managed to grow my extraverted sensing by using intuition... I can read people now but it took a lot of group emotional work to begin to do that. Not sure what you call doing that though based on the functions. I'd actually like to be able to describe that with functions. Maybe that's just extraverted intuition
Yoga? Aerobics? Those are activities I enjoy :).
helps
Thank you for making this! It is sooooo nice to know that there are content creators out there that understand the cognitive functions. Keep being great.
I took notes and I have a lot of crossed out things, but it's cool. I'll probably end up with a C- either way on the pop quiz.
I feel like I'm in college again in my Finite Math class with all these scribbles.
Do INFJ's take notes? I mean I do, but is it a thing for us? do we all do that? I know I can't remember everything so I take notes. When I see people NOT taking notes I think they aren't paying attention.
I do! I like to take notes and lists because I'm a read-learner, meaning I need to see it on paper for me to really understand :)
That's a sign of a good teacher when you cross out things you just wrote because you don't know what information is relevant
thatASMRchick I'm very visual too, I need to see the words written for them to sink in better. If it's just verbal,, I can't seem to follow it. Or my brain feels too slow. Like if someone tries to give me directions, if there are more than 3 steps I am lost. Same thing with grocery store. I can only remember 3 things then I need a list. As soon as I walk in the store, the overwhelming selection makes me forget why I'm there.
Would someone please pass me the dunce cap? Also, the close up of the cough...hahahahah
Ha ha
The amount of views this video has vs. his skit videos really says a thing or two about his audience.
Depth vs breadth hm...
This is really interesting since I've finally put in the effort to look into cognitive functions after being on the fence about INFP or ISFP and ended up discovering that, while sharing three letters, all of the INFP and INFJ functions are opposites! I don't know, that's just incredibly fascinating to me :3
That was actually really helpful and your sense of humor always makes me laugh. Thanks! ❤️🙌
This may be the best video I've ever seen on explaining Cognitive Functions and MBTI ever
Thank you for making cognitive functions so easy to understand! You’re great! I am also an INFJ and you explained it the perfect way for me.
Yes! This sheds some light on what the functions are! So well explained. Thank you from a ENFP
Yesterday I found your video about "INFJs can't see the trees for the forest", and I must say, I've never laughed out loud to a UA-cam video before. I felt that the tree analogy felt especially true to me as I the same day walked in to a table and also almost got hit by a car a few feet outside of my apartment. * Body awareness *
Thank you Frank James for posting these informative and funny videos.
Hosted by Bing Crosby... nice lol
Thanks for talking about the function stacks. Your analogy of computer OS really was spot on. I read a book that talked about how for all MBTI types, the fourth function is the weakest of all, equivalent to that of a three year old’s ability to handle/process a situation. I’m grateful you took the time to talk about this. Not entirely sure why, but it doesn’t change that I am. Happy weekend to you!
why was this so much funnier than any of his comedy skits
(in the best way i love FJ comedy skits❤️)
This was really insightful. Please do more videos like this. You explained the functions in a way I could follow. I've been looking for some more insight on the subject, and this really helps. Thank you
I've been looking into the functions really in depth for the past few months and it's been helping me a lot with my horrible anxiety because I've been able to come to the realization of how bad I am at Se and just how heavily I rely on Ni. It kind of made me upset when I tried to talk about the MBTI to my best friend a couple months ago and he kind of just wrote it off as a gimmick initially. But I was actually just talking about the functions to him last night and he was sorry he hadn't listened at first, because he could tell it was helping me figure out my thought processes.
Love you too Frank! ❤️p.s. i love all the extra editing you've been doing lately, it's very funny and creative :)
I’m here because I really love you as a person, and of course all the content you display :)) and I trust that you can explain this in your unique, resonate way, well, in 9 minutes :))) all the rest are 30 minutes?! And like what?!
Legit though, thanks for being a guiding force in my life change process. You provide a lot of really great insight and it’s been helping me really take a good look at myself in the mirror and be honest with myself, especially when it’s uncomfortable
i'm an infp and even though we're one letter off from each other i feel a strange similarity/connection to you, but i see the differences as well. that's what makes it really intriguing! i've been watching some of your videos since i found your channel a few days ago and they're so funny and insightful, it really makes me try to think from a new perspective. it's always fun to hear the intricacies circulating through someone else's head. kinda wish there were more youtubers like you, but then again you're a treasure meant to be unique. stay golden, professor (in)fj :)
For some reason I couldn’t really understand this too well, (maybe that’s because it’s 4am and I’m super tired) so I tried to write it down hoping to make sense of it all, and I think I got it! Here’s what I wrote if anyone is interested, hope it helps! :D
INFJ
- Last letter is J so it will follow PJJP
- First letter is I so It will follow IEIE
- P = S or N
- J = F or T
1. Dominant function
- Introverted
- Perceiving
- So it’s IN or IS
- Second letter is N, so it’s IN
2. Middle Function
- Extroverted
- Judging
- So it’s EF or ET
- Third letter is F, so it’s EF
3. Middle Function
- Introverted
- Judging
- So it’s IF or IT
- 3 is opposite 2, so it’s IT
4. Non-dominant Function
- Extroverted
- Perceiving
- So it’s EN or ES
- 4 is opposite 1, so it’s ES
INFP
- First letter is I so It will follow IEIE
- Last letter is P so it will follow JPPJ
- P = S or N

- Third letter is F, so it’s IF
2. Middle Function

The best explanation of functions I've seen/heard! Thanks so much! :)
5:35 Dear world, may I present you the most beautiful cursive handwriting I've ever seen.
I'm wondering, wouldn't the tests be more accurate, if the questions were more function-based? Since we know that relying on the four letters can be a huge trap.
You are correct, the tests would be much more reliable if they tested for functions
I literally write like that when taking notes...
Am I...
An INFJ?
if you’d like a pretty accurate test based on functions (it also tests the two-letter dichotomies, but they’re separate so you can compare the two), try the sakinorva one at sakinorva.net/functions
Sakinorva actually does use functions. Most tests do, except for 16 personalities, which is why they're kinda infamous for being wrong XD
ok that was creepy - I am listening to this while playing bubble shooter and then its like ' hey hey look at me! ' -guilty- Also, this is such an INFJ video. The need to take something interesting to yourself and break it down into a system that is easier to understand for others. We like teaching. :D
you are so right about breaking it down and teaching!
I was on public transit once on an empty car. A blind guy came in and came right to where I was sitting and sat down next to me. HOW do they DO that? It's like he knew I was there. Anyway, he starts talking, and he wants to "see" me. He asks, I know that means he wants to feel my face and I wasn't comfortable with that. So I let him touch my hand. And he started telling me all this stuff about me, and asked if I was a teacher. I wasn't , not in the traditional sense.
Lauren Brothers I can't watch FJ without giving it my full attention. It is a visual treat as well as an auditory one. And those EYES!
It's true, INFJs can make good teachers
I started reading this comment instead of watching the video for a sec and it was like he was talking to me 😂
So glad I've discovered your channel; an absolutely entertaining way to learn about personalities and thus people; in fact that should be the way to learn about everything. As a teacher, who is at times hypercritical to myself, watching your content and concluding that you rock. Envy you, oh from the compersion perspective, of course 🤪 By the way and overall, many thanks for the info. Oh, and, and, remembering all the function of INFJ feels like flattering hahaha Hope its not because you hate us. Signed, an INFJ
Thanks. I wrote everything down on my notepad. This is a good start for me learning the cognitive functions.
Thank you Frank that was smooth and it slides to mind happily 😭
Professor FJ peeking around that notebook is the cutest thing I've seen all week.
Wow! You simplified and delivered that knowledge excellently
this was really helpful for me! i am also an infj and seeing that my extroverted sensing is weak solves a lot of my questions as to why I am always so unaware of my surroundings. today I was painting a classroom with a bunch of strangers and I found myself listening to them talking and trying to figure out exactly who they are while I could completely be inches away from a spider and wouldn’t know it. i probably seem so spacey to others because I try to pay attention to many things at the same time.
Woah, I had no idea that the MBTI ran deeper than just the letters. Cognitive function?! Crazy stuff - I gotta go do some research. Another great video, FJ!
I have a very well developed Se... but boy, my extroverted/introverted thinking actually ruins my life lol. My man is an INTP and we are both convinced I am unable to make logical decisions Lol
At least you are aware of what you need to work on!
Bing Crosby reference was hilarious, also the "doom," sound effect. Dig the simile of personality & op. systems. (brought up on DOS). The Plutocracy of INFJ. Been working on Se a while now.
Idea for Vid: Se & working to improve, practical solutions.
Martin Cichocki yes please!!
Thanks, Martin! It sounds like Se is something a lot of people want to hear about
Frank James Always an educational experience with the dry sense of humor, your Vids! Se been researching & trying to "fix." With your help of course!"Live long & Prosper, FJ."
4:03 lol. I’m less confused..but hungry 🥞 Thanks:)
How about a room tour? Or day in the life? Also how do we get our “stay cool and attractive” tee’s? 😎
#fjmerch
FJ merch!
Probably over 15,000 people, only some of whom are subscribed.
LOL a room tour would be the most depressing thing ever
Do it!
Subscribers get them free. Nonsubscribers got a pay double
This was really enlightening and cracked me up a few times :) So thanks a lot. Do you maybe have some thoughts on how to work on that pesky fourth function? I would really love to hear about it from your perspective. And this vlogs of yours are officially very good for mental health (at least mine :)), right now I can't stop smiling after feeling down all day (or week? don't remember) So Big thank you. Greetings from other side of the ocean.
You crack me up. And thanks for getting that song stuck in my head.
Good explanation, FJ! I liked the elaboration. I also like Jean Kummerow's Tedx talk on Myers Briggs. She explains the categories, and preference. It helped me to think of the four letters of our Type as explaining how we do four activities: gather energy, collect info, make decisions, and live our lives. Introverts want their energy to go in, want to take time to process rather than put it out to others constantly. I like that extroverted people process externally and we all have difference needs/interpretations of interactions. She talks about silences and talking things out, even talking to ones self. She says some introverts may appear to be extroverts. She talks about Intuition as preference of intuiting rather than real sensing, and how we see the same picture differently because we interpret it differently. Feeling refers to the desire to be in harmony with their internal value system not just facts. She comments that Judging types like to organize, make lists and make plans and decisions rather than options and going with the flow. She makes suggestions for what questions to ask ourselves to balance and develop our subdominant functions. I found it interesting in support of what you've shared. ua-cam.com/video/gBkIyJ7kf_I/v-deo.html
Thanks, Lori! I have never seen that video, I'll have to check it out, thanks for sharing
So I looked for a longer video outside of your channel for a more in-depth explanation, but they all fell short. This was the best explanation of cognitive functions I have heard so far, and it was concise AND hilarious! The Smash Mouth reference got me! 🤣 I should have known to start with Frank James the Cool and Attractive. ❤️😁❤️
Love the Bing Crosby bit! But now I'm going to have VH- Hot for Teacher in my head all day! 🎶 "I don't feel tardy" :) Your videos are the best man! Also looking forward to the next podcast!
LOL, thanks!!!
"if you're trying to type someone else, which i'm terrible at and most people are terrible at cause no one knows anything"
see when i hear that, everything is true 😂
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💖 I listen to them at work and it really makes my day
Thanks so much :)
Got to know the functions to use your type for more than just an entertaining ego boost. I don't know if focusing on developing the inferior function is good advice though. According to personality hacker logic, I would say, learn to keep your inferior function happy without indulging in it and focus on developing your auxiliary function to keep you out of that depressing Ni-Ti, or other, loop.
Well developing the inferior function is all about balancing your life out. Meaning you are imbalanced heavily in favor of your dominant function and can achieve more harmony in life by working on your inferior function. It's not easy though!
I agree the inferior function is the goal. I just think the auxiliary function is the path to reach that goal. Good navigation does not constantly focus on how far you still have to go but tells you where the next turn is.
Brilliant explanation! Thank you!
Love the editing style
Omg! So confusing. But love watching you!
Ha ha, thanks, Adam!
As an INTP I think I may now officially be hooked on this
And 10 seconds in and it’s already 10x more welcoming, fun, and interesting 😂 and informational:pppp I love this 😂😂
This is a bit (very 👀) late but i just want to thank you for your remedial class on this. 😅 I've been searching for the simplest explanation for the functions for a long time. Love your lessons, they're simple and easy to understand.😊
This information was really helpful! I did a little more reasearch and now I know for sure I'm an ENTP :)
That was a lot to take in with my first cup of coffee! lol, good info though! I agree with the others about a Se function vid. Thanks for not being warm and homely.
Thank you so much for this Frank!!!! I really didn't know how the funtions work... 😅
Best video on this topic hands down
This is quasi-mathematical and I’m LOVIN IT! What’s the FUNCTION?? The function is the most critical component to determine and know in order to arrive at the solution. Know your functions y’all.
Oh, OOOHHHH, VISUALS!! You just brought up a quad diagram! This is speaking to my soul...
This all makes sense. As I've been researching MBTI, I've come to understand how to figure out the functions from the letters. But, I actually watched this video hoping that you would explain some things that still do NOT make sense to me: Why does the orientation of the functions have to alternate? (e.g. I, E, I, E)--Why do they have to go in that order? Why can't there be two extraverted functions in a row? For INFJ for example--if the dominant function is introverted intuition, why does the other perceiving function have to be extraverted? Why not introverted sensing too? Why not extraverted feeling and extraverted thinking?
I understand that there's a pattern and know how the pattern applies, but right now it seems like that pattern has been decided arbitrarily by humans. I would trust the MBTI system more as it applies to the human psyche if there was a logical reason for the pattern. (And there probably is, but it doesn't make sense to me yet.) Is there any resource you could point me to, to understand, or could you make a video about this in the future? (Or if anyone else has insight, I'd love it.)
Wow. Some professors took 30 minutes to explain this in a complicated way, you managed to do it in 8 minutes in a nice and easy way. 👏🏻👍🏻
You make me laugh! 😆 Thanks for this video - very helpful!
I have thus been educated... accompanied by giggles. Thank you so very much for being you. Lol I absolutely adore this. ❤💯😹
..."get it together baby"... lolol
YES SIR! Lol 💯❤💯
Loved this. I think you presented this really well. Have just read a detailed study of INFJ functions and, after reading that, I am amazed that we can function at all..............
I really appreciate your videos. They make me feel less alone in my INFJ world. I also love how quirky you are.👌🏻
I cannot even describe properly how MUCH i love your videos! Hilarious and useful! Love the new News ones FJ. Anyway, I call the P function the "HUH?" Function. And the J function the "OHHH. OK THEN!" SeSINeNi= Huh?! or WTF? and TeTiFeFi= "Oh, then now.." Function.
Great educational video sir. I love your teaching style. Very entertaining Mr. Crosby lol. The pancakes "stack" waslike a sublimal message. Who else wants pancakes now?
Annie Sussino I don't like pancakes, so not me, but I've seen other comments where they did.
LOL, function stack... of pancakes
Wowee, om fire this morning!!! Nothing like a healthy dose of sarcasm in the morn, I love it!. Carl Jung was all about dreams, would you like to talk about that as a topic, and as an intuitive how they, dreams, play a role in our conscious thought processes as well as being a link to the collective consciousness or something like that? I appreciate ya, Peace,
Ooh, a video about dreams would be interesting
Would love this!
When I take the test at 16 personalities I generally get INTP (but borderline on everything but the N). It was only when I studied the functions, took functions tests, researched socionics, read books, watched a ton of videos, and consulted with my typology nerd friends that I became 80-90% sure that I’m an INFJ (the Ni dominant, Se inferior is crazy apparent and while I have very strong Te, I absorb other people’s feelings too readily, and my Fi is all but nonexistent).
haha Frank I've shared this at least three different times now. Indispensable info for when seriously seeking to understand MBTI!
this is really good, fascinating. i would like to watch vid about explaining every functions
I had a good time watching this video and learning more about the Myers-Briggs personality type test. I find you very interesting and not in a sexual way, I like men tall and wide. I do find your talks interesting. Have a great day! 😀
Thank you! I finally understand
A really great video Frank. Excellent content. And thank God for the world in my mind. My happy place. I’ll rewatch it it to capture all your analysis. Those D functions.
Thanks Randy!!
You rock FJ! Thank you!!
I'm an ENFJ and I love your videos. You're really great at this.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Man, this helped me so much.
Yes, Professor! Fabulous video. I concur with many of your commenters. We need an Extraverted Sensing video before some of us die! Death by inferior function. Such a sad way to go. :(
Hilarious AND informative. Thanks, Bing.
Again left wanting to hug you. 😝 however you have been helping me a lot and being this is an extremely overwhelming time for my all sensories I appreciate your library so much. Now you have me about to jump into this topic on a level I never expected. 😂 ok time to buy meyers books. Keep being the amazing and careful you! 🥰
I see the careful comments in all your videos. 😜
This was very helpful! I'd like to request a video on how INFJs can develop their inferior (aka crappy) extroverted sensing function (including starting with what exactly it is).
You're awesome! You crack me up! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘
best explanation ever 👏🏾
"It doesn't work that way"--I accept your challenge! lol Great video.
I took the MBTI 3 times and no one ever told me about the functions! Thanks for this. Extroverted Sensing is ruining my life also.
Thank u this was so helpful ❤️
Excellent!
😂😂😂Your videos just keep getting better 👏👏👏
Thanks, Jasmine!
Haaaa, you said, "Get it together ..." :D :D :D I fall into the "no one knows anything" category. I don't live by the dictates of my test results, I just dig how you explain them :D Love you, too :D
Thanks, Deborah :)
This was very helpful👏🏻
AND ALLLLLL THAT GLITTERS IS GOOOOLDDD
