I'm an INFJ in a long time marriage to an ISTJ. He skipped right past flirtation, showed me his list of requirements for a wife (!), told me I was the only woman he'd met who had them all, and told me he wanted to marry me less than two weeks later. Very efficient, lol.
@@meagiesmuse2334bro got straight to the point 😂. I once had a coworker (pretty sure she was INFJ too) act like this around me for literally like 4 months and I NEVER picked up on it. Then I got a new job and moved away and one of my other coworkers was texting me and said "damn dude she really misses you, she had such a huge crush on you", and my response was just ".....wait wut".
Watching INFJ - struggle and not allow herself to say what she want directly - but also keep hinting what she want and hoping he will recognize the sign - mission failed , he's totally clueless - feel hopeless , never come back here again This is so relatable XD
Yep, completely accurate, though I’m an INFP. I flirted the exact same way and he was just as oblivious 😂😂 😕😟😫. >>>oh and the shirt INFP!Frank was wearing cracked me up when I noticed what it said lol>>
They didn't include us either. I'm the ENTP that also realized there's insufficient and outdated information in the libraries and I forget to return them so the bills tend to get higher than when I just straight up purchase the random subject knowledge books. I have finished my collection of classics and philosophy. Law is next.
I sympathise, but my library allows us to access circulating books in all the other county public libraries in the state of Maryland through a system called Marina Library Services. I also have access to an online service called Overdrive for the online books in Prince George's County Memorial Library System. You need to move to Maryland.
As an INFP, I think I've read a bit too much books cause I do actually narrate stuff in my head while staring after accidentally developing a habit of it- I even have imaginary conversations and get mad at people before realizing it was all in my head-
I am an ENTJ, married an ISTJ. This was painfully accurate. My flirting strategy was to simply have his best friend say, “She is interested in you and she will be asking you out soon. Prepare yourself.”
let me tell you, @@queenseabee8113 , i died a little inside. undeveloped ENTP resting too much on "eff the System!" Should have exercised that creative noodle and used a post-it.
Love the INFP narrator/tour guide, INFJ's and ISTJ's little 'interaction', ESFJ's little story and INTP's comments, how some of the mbtis parts converge, and the connecting story too!! ❤❤❤ I love this skit
Well they technically could go back and say "I wasn't being direct earlier, will you go out with me?" Then if the ISTJ says no I could see them never wanting to go back lol.
I once worked as a blue collar worker and had an ENFP co-worker. One day, the industrial hygienist selected said co-worker to place noise-level measuring devices on. It was meant to detect the ambient noise and noise coming from equipment to determine if we needed hearing protection while working. The equipment wasn't deemed noisy enough to require hearing protection, but apparently being near my ENFP coworker when she got excited was (I'm not joking).
Ohhhhhhhh are ENFP loud? Must be why my boyfriend is always telling me to lower my voice everywhere we go 🤣 he's always saying "why are you shouting, I'm right here!" 🤣
This might just be my favourite video of yours yet! I'm so invested in all the plots and characters. The INTPs relatability, the love story, the character that you think might just plan to commit a murder (until the end), the archival quality paper bookmarks :'), etc etc etc. So good!

@@medievaldigger I've never understood how this happens. I remember greeting my friend standing right next to her and it took her like 5 seconds to realize that I was there.
ESTPs and ESFPs are the types most focused on the present and what's happening around them, because they are SE dominant (or extroverted sensing), so I wouldn't agree with that.
This INTJ manages public libraries. I fully support the future of libraries and open access to trustworthy and reliable physical and digital resources.
This INTJ used to work at numerous school districts where each library got smaller and smaller with each year and people were sad that I told them libraries will eventually be no more. XD
It's just that the INTJ doesn't need help navigating the catalog and downloading their e-books....so we're in and out of the library in like 10 minutes these days
Yeah, this INTJ lives and dies by my library card... And my Kindle Unlimited account... And my Audible account... Have I mentioned that I hate Libby? Bring back Overdrive!
As an INTJ I haven’t been in a library for over a decade because I just buy every book I want. Four of the rooms in my house have shelves full of books, plus heaps more in boxes.
INTJ here who belongs to and supports several libraries! Though, I am seldom in them for myself because usually I’m using Overdrive/Libby or buying (actually have a book arriving today). My kids love going to the library.
My favorite video so far, from an introverted retired librarian (public, college, and corporate). I've met all those characters, worked with all those librarians. Have you every worked in a library, or been a librarian? Great "liberry" video.
The INFJ struggling to be direct wanting permission to be direct was spot on. And libraries have always been a place that I have loved to be in, so this is another one of my favorite 16 personalities videos of yours Frank.
I'm definitely INTJ in real life but in this video, definitely ISTJ. Completely clueless about dating and relationships. If anybody has ever flirted with me, I've been oblivious.
No offenses, but it you're so clueless about someone flirted with you, maybe you're more to an ISTJ rather than INTJ. Honestly speaking, mbti test could be wrong because they assumed by certain words such as : ‘possibilities’, ‘imagination’, and ‘deep’ apply only to intuitives, when in fact sensors can also enjoy possibilities, be imaginative, and enjoying deep conversations. INTJ always sees outside the box, that's why actually they're more tune to their Emotions as they have Ni as their dominant function which makes them always see all possibilities. On the other hand, ISTJ knows and livings only based on what they've told and barely thinks outside the box (Ne is their inferior thing), makes them ignored some possibilities. In this case : a possibility of someone's being crush on them. Their cognitive functions and how their response under "the grip" become a big difference which also the main reason why an INTJ could act outside the norms and ignores morals while ISTJ could not. Just like me, i personally could ignore norms, morals or religion as i hold 'the value' inwards (my own value, personally, subjectively). As someone who has an ISTJ's brother and a long terms of ex spouse INTJ, i could clearly see the differences. Greetings from INFJ-A 🙋♀️
This longer format was really great. At some point I felt like I was watching a pilot episode of a quirky tv series. And the dialogues as always witty and fun. Great work FJ 👏
My impressions: 1. Damn, Frank created a whole sitcom episode out of this one, love it 2. In the INFJ-ISTJ interaction I'm both people (also am I tripping or does he look attractive playing both of these characters?) 3. INFP being a somewhat cool main character for a change is nice (though tbh I am not real clear on the concept of "cool") 4. INTP is 100% what I'd be like as a parent, luckily I'm not, I can't even parent ME
For a second I was thinking " what's wrong with ESTJ this time" until things turned out brilliantly, she is the best selling crime author 👍 I love the interaction between INFJ/ ISTJ it was the best part of this video. The cluelessness of ISTJ 😂 That was 8 min, I didn't feel them. Great job 😎👍
@@FrankJames i was watching it 2 times in a row and didn t feel the time passing by😊😊... Thank you Frank, for posting a vid on women's day after such a longfelt break ❤ hope to see istj librarian and infj get on that date one day. 😊😊 Ps. I still hope after half a year that you will continue with the "how a xxxx brain works" can t wait especially for infj and istp ))) please please
(2:35-2:40) As an ISTJ, I have to say that is painfully accurate. Dating involves talking about emotions and allowing yourself to feel emotions. Neither of which is my strong suit. Being open about what you're feeling with another person and having to deal with your heart and those pesky emotions that are erratic and not logical at all? Not gonna happen. Edit, I will fully admit that as an ISTJ, I am in fact, totally clueless when someone is flirting with me or trying to show they're interested in me.
And as an INFJ, I would never put myself out there like that. I would totally hint, and ask questions I already new the answer to in order to spend more time with someone I was interested in, but at the same not show I was interested just in case they weren't interested. I too would never go back to that library. Sound like that sketch was spot on with both of us.
@@julieharden2433 what's with the hints and stuff? If you like someone just tell that person already. What's the worst that can happen? Edit - I'm INTJ
INFP who worked as a library aide for 3 years and you really do get all kinds of people in the library! (the good, the bad, and everyone in between) Could really relate to the ISTP librarian at 3:20 - if you work long enough, you really DO have a good sense of where everything is, even if you haven't completely memorized the whole catalogue😂
This video is made for INFP happiness 😊 The ESTJ being a famous author really took me off guard, it was genius! FJ, have you ever considered writing your own mystery novel? Your creative skills are awesome, I'd definitely read it 😃
I'm an INFJ. I had a huge crush on a friend, but I wanted to figure out how he felt first before saying anything. Me: "If you had a friend that was interested in you, would you rather that she tell you or that she keep it to herself?" Him: "What would I prefer? (pause) I don't know. That kind of thing doesn't ever happen to me."
I helped in the school library as a kid. It was like the most quiet place in school during breaks 😅 and I knew I could always hide between bookshelves to avoid people 😂 INFP 😊
One of my neighbors thought I worked at the public library. She asked the librarian if I was working. The library informed them I was not working. She found me holding four books in my hand and putting one back after I decided I was not ready to go back to that series. She pulled me and told the librarian she found me. The librarian looks at me and realizes I did not work there. Then another person walks over to me ask if I know if they had this book. They did and I told them where to find it. I cried when the library shut down during Covid and wrote an ode to the dying library during Covid. I read 180 books that year. Almost maxed out the amount of books I checked out from the library.
In a world where youtubers make similar videos on the same topics over and over again I really appreciate this channel. It's unique and something I never expect yet all videos end up being amazing. I appreciate your hard work Frank!
Unfortunately the INFJ hasn't learned that for successful communication you have to make it in a way the other party understands, something like "Would you like to go on a date with me?" especially if the plan for the failed communication is never seeing this person again, the sting of rejection has to be less than the agony of self recrimination for failing to be brave.
@@KarlJeager Of course being straight forward is the most effective way. However, the INFJ made it SO obvious. Therefore , the ISTJ must develop more awareness of social cues. So both of them were responsible for the lack of communication in my opinion.
please at least be a little more direct. I'm gong to steal from another comment I saw on here: You should ask them directly if they would date you if hypothetically you were to ask them out on a date. Schrodinger's hypothetical
Hello, this is your (trying-to-be) friendly neighbourhood INTJ telling you all to get a damn library card. Even if you don't use it, it can help them get desperately needed funding and regardless of what you may think, libraries perform an essential function in our society and we will miss them if they ever do disappear
I'm an INTJ, and I personally adore libraries & bookstores. So much knowledge & brain-entertainment 🤩 Nowadays, I prefer exploring digital texts due to the increased range of accessibility; when I was younger (too young to drive) my parents would regularly drop me off at a public library, or a bookstore, for HOURS while they ran errands. 📚

Me too! Mom dropped me off at the library in town and went grocery shopping, to the pharmacy, to the hair salon, etc every week. By age 9 I could have been the librarian for the whole kids section!
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE ✨ As an INFP with an ENFP sister, I can confirm 100% accuracy. (Also, the INFJ and ISTJ’s unrequited love hit a little too close to home.) Thank you so much for this video ❤️
I worked at a library. I was tech services… I did digitization for a bunch of Roman law books… did FRIDA services… The library is still there but thanks to my team and I… physical books are all self check out, everything is E-books… the stacks have diminished, and now there’s a coffee shop and hangout area for the students. If you want actual books they’d have to request them online and they get delivered. So stacks management is done by the delivery team, no more crazy librarians, you’d automatically get your credit card charged or your tuition bill goes up for late returns, and the university saves money. I’m very proud of my accomplishments. We are in a new era. I no longer work for that library. But everyone who still has a job there remembers me.
Good to know that I’m neatly fitting into the INTJ type by saying something nobody would care to think about and leaving without anyone caring or lacking the knowledge that I was there
The INTP Dad and bitey toddler interactions are very much like my relationship with my late father was during my childhood. He was always trying to teach me something...and I was constantly creeping away to get up to mischief. As a small child, I used to think my full name ended in "COME HERE!". 😂
😂 Ha ha. I relate! My Dad is INTP, too, and he used to set us kids occasional test papers to assess what we'd learned from him! But we would scoot away for fun. What's your mischievous MBTI?
@@SelenaSeaInfj, according to another one of their comments. As an infj myself, this makes me happy 😂 no one talks about our mischievous side enough. I drove my parents nuts allllll the time.
Poor Miss INFJ!! She was so close…and yet so far, lol!! 😂 Like so many others, I’m also so invested in the INFJ-ISTJ storyline! :) Encore!! I totally also relate to the ISFJ loving the old-school feel of books…and also in an essentially kindhearted way letting an accidentally judgmental statement slip out, lol! 🥹🥹 (I test INFP, but i relate also to a lot of the ISFJ life, lol!!) Such great freewheeling interactions at the library amongst the types, loved this episode!! 😊🙏🙏
I'm an INFJ who has worked at a library. This is creepily accurate. Especially the kid biting the toe and a man not wearing pants just being another day at work. lol
Honestly, yes😂 INFP, former library aide here - one of the most common things I noticed at my library is that so many people take their shoes off. *Grown adults*. Sometimes, the kids have better library etiquette than their parents!
Infj and istj are soooo well written 😂😂 , tbh the ISTJ was doing his job . i believe he wouldn't mind dating the infj if she was clear about dating him . again great job fj
That was fantastic. Intricate storytelling that weaves together many disconnected plotlines. All driven by characters with agency, navigating the library driven by their own personal motivations. Masterful.
Frank: the people have spoken!!! Definitely follow-up episodes of INFJ & ISTJ - - I can see it now……….. Thanks for this, possibly the most ‘real’ episode of all!!
That was perfect, FJ! I'm now waiting for you to write a movie!! The INFJ had a blessing there, ISTJ can't catch the thread, and it's really a very true estimation of how we truly communicate with people we're checking out to see if they could be a close friend.....then we can open up fully because they get our threads!!
Wow, that was fun! I loved the ongoing saga of INFJ trying to ask out ISTP! What a clueless dude! The ENFP with no pants was a riot, too! Great skit, Frank! You know, that kid has terrible parents.🙌💜
Man, this one is PACKED with subplots! Thanks Frank, this might be the single video that made me physically laugh the most times (and that includes compilations!). Hats off!
PETITION TO DO 16 PERSONALTIES IN THEATRE I’m a theatre kid and a ENFJ and all the different personalities are hilarious in even my community theatre. ❤❤
Oh this was amazing! I love the ISTP being a librarian. My absolute dream job and I already know the library catalogue, without even having the job yet :D
LOVED. IT!! Every minute! Way to flesh out the 16 Characters, FJ! And the sub-plots are delightfully entertaining! [Special mentions would take pages, but... Rocko the Taco flew a plane to Morocco and I cry-laughed, the mega-efficient but hopelessly clueless ISTJ librarian/poor darling INFJ, the roaming-toe-biting toddler alone is a whole feeling/Love!... Also remember 🤣, the dog-earring & Dorito-stained books was traumatising lol, E/INTJ how blasphemous! To use the toilets... only?!? ... Then: Yes, what if your boyfriend was a vampire?! 🤣] You touched upon the big questions again, philosopher FJ, and with such flair! Here's another 🧡 to keep you going! 😃👋
Can confirm that I enjoy overanalysing the deeper metaphorical aspects of classic childhood books (although I’m far too shy to actually speak, lol) - an INTP :)
"Rocko the Taco flew a plane to Morocco" 😂. I love your videos because they helped me so much to better understand my personality type, never skipped a single video since subscribing to your channel 2 years ago. A fellow Infj from Morocco 😊
Okay ... hands down... now I shipp ISTJ and INFJ - that's so cute and so saaaaad. As INFJs it's so hard to ask someone out... But this could evolve to a wholesome lovestory. Next week my mum (ISFJ) and I will go to the library, maybe I should keep my eyes open. - hopelessly single INFJ that don't like dating apps. 😘 P.S. Great video the storytelling is awesome. Love it.
Wow. You have been working hard on creating this video. I love your dedication and time spent on writing and acting. A one person show that aims to portray 16 different ways of thinking. If I can just be honest, I don’t see myself in my own personality type. Don’t get me wrong, I think the character was fun and amusing. Perhaps it does show a type of a type that I simply am not. On the inside, I actually have the: I do what I want! written. Or, since I am ennea 1, I will put it differently: I comply to external rules as long as they suit my ideals and don’t crush my sense of freedom and autonomy. I don’t pursue people. I want to befriend them while being placed in a social circle and I usually ask a lot of questions (which is normal for me), but if it doesn’t work, I go back to my ‘usual’ self that thrives while creating things, visualizing possibilities (and probably wondering how to make them come true and if they are even worth the effort I place in them). And even if something is ‘done’, I go back to working on it because I am not satisfied. Tbh, I am actually a rebel in disguise. I have always known that, although I am aware that in order for others to see it, they need to really know me. That is because I try not to be ‘too much’ , so I dial it down (until a certain point where I feel immense external pressure that takes my freedom of choice and expression away). I think I have mentioned that Mathilda (from the 2022 musical) is my type of a type. She is a social 1 so watching her on the screen was like having a mirror placed in front of me. Especially her defiance to rules. Do you think it will ever be possible to consider her sort of a character (and well, also mine) while writing the part for our personality type? It is closer to the essence of the type.
For the record, if INTJ showed up, INTJ would be in the corner with a laptop and one or two select books (that they brought from home), watching the surroundings silently in supervillain mode, not going for the purpose of loudly slamming book-readers for going to libraries.
Dog ear dog world made me laugh so hard Also I'm an infj who works in children's section of a library so this is great (I'm also married to an istj lol)
Was actually thinking that the ISTJ in this video was quite handsome and then his handsomeness gets referenced twice in the video. Now I need to watch again ro analyse what's making him handsome.
@@AdorableOracle Right? I think the hair framed his face very well. Glasses may have helped. The colour of his shirt and probably the relaxed, neutral facial expressions.

Yeah, this INTJ lives and dies by my library card... And my Kindle Unlimited account... And my Audible account... Have I mentioned that I hate Libby? Bring back Overdrive!
As an INTJ I haven’t been in a library for over a decade because I just buy every book I want. Four of the rooms in my house have shelves full of books, plus heaps more in boxes.
INTJ here who belongs to and supports several libraries! Though, I am seldom in them for myself because usually I’m using Overdrive/Libby or buying (actually have a book arriving today). My kids love going to the library.
My favorite video so far, from an introverted retired librarian (public, college, and corporate). I've met all those characters, worked with all those librarians. Have you every worked in a library, or been a librarian? Great "liberry" video.
The INFJ struggling to be direct wanting permission to be direct was spot on. And libraries have always been a place that I have loved to be in, so this is another one of my favorite 16 personalities videos of yours Frank.
I'm definitely INTJ in real life but in this video, definitely ISTJ. Completely clueless about dating and relationships. If anybody has ever flirted with me, I've been oblivious.
I'm an INTJ but I understand if someone flirts. Flirting back though is a complete exotic science that I have no understanding of
No offenses, but it you're so clueless about someone flirted with you, maybe you're more to an ISTJ rather than INTJ. Honestly speaking, mbti test could be wrong because they assumed by certain words such as : ‘possibilities’, ‘imagination’, and ‘deep’ apply only to intuitives, when in fact sensors can also enjoy possibilities, be imaginative, and enjoying deep conversations.
INTJ always sees outside the box, that's why actually they're more tune to their Emotions as they have Ni as their dominant function which makes them always see all possibilities. On the other hand, ISTJ knows and livings only based on what they've told and barely thinks outside the box (Ne is their inferior thing), makes them ignored some possibilities. In this case : a possibility of someone's being crush on them. Their cognitive functions and how their response under "the grip" become a big difference which also the main reason why an INTJ could act outside the norms and ignores morals while ISTJ could not. Just like me, i personally could ignore norms, morals or religion as i hold 'the value' inwards (my own value, personally, subjectively).
As someone who has an ISTJ's brother and a long terms of ex spouse INTJ, i could clearly see the differences.
Greetings from INFJ-A 🙋♀️
This longer format was really great. At some point I felt like I was watching a pilot episode of a quirky tv series. And the dialogues as always witty and fun. Great work FJ 👏
thanks!!
THAT!!! That is exactly what it feels like!!!!
I agree 100% with this comment.
My impressions:
1. Damn, Frank created a whole sitcom episode out of this one, love it
2. In the INFJ-ISTJ interaction I'm both people (also am I tripping or does he look attractive playing both of these characters?)
3. INFP being a somewhat cool main character for a change is nice (though tbh I am not real clear on the concept of "cool")
4. INTP is 100% what I'd be like as a parent, luckily I'm not, I can't even parent ME
For a second I was thinking " what's wrong with ESTJ this time" until things turned out brilliantly, she is the best selling crime author 👍
I love the interaction between INFJ/ ISTJ it was the best part of this video. The cluelessness of ISTJ 😂
That was 8 min, I didn't feel them. Great job 😎👍
thanks so much!!!
@@FrankJames i was watching it 2 times in a row and didn t feel the time passing by😊😊... Thank you Frank, for posting a vid on women's day after such a longfelt break ❤ hope to see istj librarian and infj get on that date one day. 😊😊
Ps. I still hope after half a year that you will continue with the "how a xxxx brain works" can t wait especially for infj and istp ))) please please
I was getting the "doing research for a novel" vibes from ESTJ
Me too! As an ESTJ, I was kinda let down at first that once more, we're only seen as angry boss's or co-workers who judge others.
This was so fun to watch! Especially the INFJ and ISTJ part lol
You keep making your content better Frank keep it up
I love your videos! As an INFP, just walking around and seeing what others are doing, and commenting on it in my head was pretty relatable 😂
YESSS!!! 😂
INFPs are just naturally life's narrators
Absolutely!!!
Why am I shipping him with himself?
Narcissus!
lol 😂😂
Nah fr😭
(2:35-2:40) As an ISTJ, I have to say that is painfully accurate. Dating involves talking about emotions and allowing yourself to feel emotions. Neither of which is my strong suit. Being open about what you're feeling with another person and having to deal with your heart and those pesky emotions that are erratic and not logical at all? Not gonna happen. Edit, I will fully admit that as an ISTJ, I am in fact, totally clueless when someone is flirting with me or trying to show they're interested in me.
And as an INFJ, I would never put myself out there like that. I would totally hint, and ask questions I already new the answer to in order to spend more time with someone I was interested in, but at the same not show I was interested just in case they weren't interested.
I too would never go back to that library.
Sound like that sketch was spot on with both of us.
Lol i rarely see sensors on mbti videos
@@julieharden2433 what's with the hints and stuff? If you like someone just tell that person already. What's the worst that can happen?
Edit - I'm INTJ
Real if you want to date me just say it so I can assess you and decline or start evaluating you right away
Yep I'm like that too. Also an ISTJ
Love that the INFP feels so comfortable there that they became the narrator :DD
INFP who worked as a library aide for 3 years and you really do get all kinds of people in the library! (the good, the bad, and everyone in between) Could really relate to the ISTP librarian at 3:20 - if you work long enough, you really DO have a good sense of where everything is, even if you haven't completely memorized the whole catalogue😂
Girl, you had my dream job...!!! What an AWESOME opportunity 😎
Totes! 😄 Fellow INFP library assistant here too, love how everyday you come across different people and the regulars too ❤
@@theneriiren For sure! That was one of my favorite parts of the job - getting to know the community😊
@@madeleinemilligan8155 💯🥰
Lol Infp and actually need to finish my application for an aide.
This video is made for INFP happiness 😊
The ESTJ being a famous author really took me off guard, it was genius! FJ, have you ever considered writing your own mystery novel? Your creative skills are awesome, I'd definitely read it 😃
the INFP's shirt "I do what I want" killed me.
I'm an INFJ. I had a huge crush on a friend, but I wanted to figure out how he felt first before saying anything.
Me: "If you had a friend that was interested in you, would you rather that she tell you or that she keep it to herself?"
Him: "What would I prefer? (pause) I don't know. That kind of thing doesn't ever happen to me."
The Library is the INFP's homeland ☺
It was my homeland too. 😊
I was friends with the librarians. In my free time I helped others find books for fun.
@@wimsylogic65 Aw, that's so cool :)
I know I escaped there every chance I got as a kid. Real life was always just not great 😑
I helped in the school library as a kid. It was like the most quiet place in school during breaks 😅 and I knew I could always hide between bookshelves to avoid people 😂 INFP 😊
One of my neighbors thought I worked at the public library. She asked the librarian if I was working. The library informed them I was not working. She found me holding four books in my hand and putting one back after I decided I was not ready to go back to that series. She pulled me and told the librarian she found me. The librarian looks at me and realizes I did not work there. Then another person walks over to me ask if I know if they had this book. They did and I told them where to find it. I cried when the library shut down during Covid and wrote an ode to the dying library during Covid. I read 180 books that year. Almost maxed out the amount of books I checked out from the library.
In a world where youtubers make similar videos on the same topics over and over again I really appreciate this channel. It's unique and something I never expect yet all videos end up being amazing.
I appreciate your hard work Frank!
Thank you very much!
I wanted INFJ to get that date SO bad.
IKR me too
Same! I wish she got the date.
Unfortunately the INFJ hasn't learned that for successful communication you have to make it in a way the other party understands, something like "Would you like to go on a date with me?" especially if the plan for the failed communication is never seeing this person again, the sting of rejection has to be less than the agony of self recrimination for failing to be brave.
@@KarlJeager
Of course being straight forward is the most effective way. However, the INFJ made it SO obvious. Therefore , the ISTJ must develop more awareness of social cues.
So both of them were responsible for the lack of communication in my opinion.
@@KarlJeager just be direct and ask them out
ISTJ really suits being in library, something they expert to do and really organized, is like the were born there. 😄👏
I like the fact how fast infj spotted the infp. As one of the latter I can speak out loud and no one will notice. Only infjs do from my experience
As an ENFP i can guarantee i would never enter the library for any purposes that the library is actually made for. Great skit FJ loved it so much xD
Yep. That’s me the INFJ. Asking questions and trying to gauge interest before making any kind of move that could maybe invite a move….
...and they wonder why we never make a move 🤦🏻
please at least be a little more direct. I'm gong to steal from another comment I saw on here:
You should ask them directly if they would date you if hypothetically you were to ask them out on a date. Schrodinger's hypothetical
@@ivangrozny496 Oooh, mind if I try this method?
@princesserika9899 please do, let me know how it goes
Hello, this is your (trying-to-be) friendly neighbourhood INTJ telling you all to get a damn library card. Even if you don't use it, it can help them get desperately needed funding and regardless of what you may think, libraries perform an essential function in our society and we will miss them if they ever do disappear
I would like to help fund libraries, but how can I help get rid of public education?
I'm an INTJ, and I personally adore libraries & bookstores. So much knowledge & brain-entertainment 🤩
Nowadays, I prefer exploring digital texts due to the increased range of accessibility; when I was younger (too young to drive) my parents would regularly drop me off at a public library, or a bookstore, for HOURS while they ran errands. 📚
Matilda is an INTJ, and loves the library too
I'm also an INTJ, and I personally adore libraries & bookstores. So much knowledge & brain-entertainment
Nowadays, I prefer exploring digital texts due to the increased range of accessibility; when I was younger (too young to drive) my parents would regularly drop me off at a public library, or a bookstore, for HOURS while they ran errands. Is it plagiarism if every single word you wrote applies to me?
@@wingman4356 Lol, for a shorter version to convey the meaning of your reply, you could phrase it in the way the teens nowadays uses: "SAME"
Me too! Mom dropped me off at the library in town and went grocery shopping, to the pharmacy, to the hair salon, etc every week. By age 9 I could have been the librarian for the whole kids section!
You are on fire FJ! Sincerely, a long time INFP fan who just answered “I do what I want” to the poll before seeing this. 🎯
INFP being the narrator is hilarious! INFJ trying to hint to her crush is relatable! I am ISFJ and that was too real!
oh my gosh, I'm an ENFP with a degree in music tech and I have a db & Hz meter on my phone!!! I love that thing!
As an ISTJ, I loved this sketch lmao. Yes, I too would be completely oblivious and focused on the task, thanks.
I know I felt called out. Like how am I supposed to know you aren’t really just interested in finding books?
You are great 😂
As an INFJ/INTP who dreamed of being a librarian, this one was made for me.
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE ✨ As an INFP with an ENFP sister, I can confirm 100% accuracy. (Also, the INFJ and ISTJ’s unrequited love hit a little too close to home.) Thank you so much for this video ❤️
thanks for your kind comment!!
_1....FJ is surprisingly fetching as a blonde. 2...I still miss the old card catalogues. Just saying._
I worked at a library. I was tech services… I did digitization for a bunch of Roman law books… did FRIDA services…
The library is still there but thanks to my team and I… physical books are all self check out, everything is E-books… the stacks have diminished, and now there’s a coffee shop and hangout area for the students.
If you want actual books they’d have to request them online and they get delivered.
So stacks management is done by the delivery team, no more crazy librarians, you’d automatically get your credit card charged or your tuition bill goes up for late returns, and the university saves money.
I’m very proud of my accomplishments.
We are in a new era.
I no longer work for that library. But everyone who still has a job there remembers me.
Good to know that I’m neatly fitting into the INTJ type by saying something nobody would care to think about and leaving without anyone caring or lacking the knowledge that I was there
5:16 😮💨True, i couldn't count how many times I've had to ask people to put their clothes back on while working at a library
The INTP Dad and bitey toddler interactions are very much like my relationship with my late father was during my childhood. He was always trying to teach me something...and I was constantly creeping away to get up to mischief. As a small child, I used to think my full name ended in "COME HERE!". 😂
😂 Ha ha. I relate! My Dad is INTP, too, and he used to set us kids occasional test papers to assess what we'd learned from him! But we would scoot away for fun. What's your mischievous MBTI?
@@SelenaSeaInfj, according to another one of their comments. As an infj myself, this makes me happy 😂 no one talks about our mischievous side enough. I drove my parents nuts allllll the time.
Poor Miss INFJ!! She was so close…and yet so far, lol!! 😂 Like so many others, I’m also so invested in the INFJ-ISTJ storyline! :) Encore!!
I totally also relate to the ISFJ loving the old-school feel of books…and also in an essentially kindhearted way letting an accidentally judgmental statement slip out, lol! 🥹🥹 (I test INFP, but i relate also to a lot of the ISFJ life, lol!!) Such great freewheeling interactions at the library amongst the types, loved this episode!! 😊🙏🙏
I'm an INFJ who has worked at a library. This is creepily accurate. Especially the kid biting the toe and a man not wearing pants just being another day at work. lol
Honestly, yes😂 INFP, former library aide here - one of the most common things I noticed at my library is that so many people take their shoes off. *Grown adults*. Sometimes, the kids have better library etiquette than their parents!
Omg, I'm an INFJ and dated an ISTJ. I swear half our conversations were exactly like the characters 😂
As in INFJ I really felt the trying to get the guy to ask her out.
Awww I love the cute interaction between INFJ and ISTJ
Infj and istj are soooo well written 😂😂 , tbh the ISTJ was doing his job . i believe he wouldn't mind dating the infj if she was clear about dating him .
again great job fj
am istj, can confirm I would be extremely oblivious, but indeed wouldn't mind dating the infj if I somehow picked up on her signals
I’m an INFJ and i confirm I would totally do that 😂. My bf is an ISFP but I can see some ISTJ in him
@shubikl9826 tell the rest of your kind to stop being so cryptic
@ivangrozny496 we can't 😅
@kissmelicia81 not saying don't be cryptic, just make your crypticity comprehensible to us robots
That was fantastic. Intricate storytelling that weaves together many disconnected plotlines. All driven by characters with agency, navigating the library driven by their own personal motivations.
Masterful.
Idea : The 16 personalities as Geek/Anime fans
Yesss voting for it
Yes please 🙏🏼
Frank: the people have spoken!!! Definitely follow-up episodes of INFJ & ISTJ - - I can see it now……….. Thanks for this, possibly the most ‘real’ episode of all!!
That was perfect, FJ! I'm now waiting for you to write a movie!! The INFJ had a blessing there, ISTJ can't catch the thread, and it's really a very true estimation of how we truly communicate with people we're checking out to see if they could be a close friend.....then we can open up fully because they get our threads!!
The pairings in this one is spectacular.
My fav is the ESTJ & the ISTP 😂
As an INFJ I would 100% flirt like this and it’s upsetting to know. lol 😂
THIS is a masterpiece!!!!! You are so attractive as the INFJ woman btw :D and as her love interest aswell...
Yep
Wow, that was fun! I loved the ongoing saga of INFJ trying to ask out ISTP! What a clueless dude! The ENFP with no pants was a riot, too! Great skit, Frank! You know, that kid has terrible parents.🙌💜
glad you enjoyed!
ENFP:why noone likes me
ISTJ:thats a point
It is the ISTJ dude 😂
It's the ISTJ. You don't even pay attention
I'm an ENFP.😂
I was so invested in that INFJ and ISTJ love story lol
Man, this one is PACKED with subplots! Thanks Frank, this might be the single video that made me physically laugh the most times (and that includes compilations!). Hats off!
I was so hooked to the infj/istj storyline!
PETITION TO DO 16 PERSONALTIES IN THEATRE
I’m a theatre kid and a ENFJ and all the different personalities are hilarious in even my community theatre. ❤❤
He is a fellow theatre kid!!! I’ll sign the petition!
I'm an INFJ and I love reading, I love libraries, I love booooks😍
Oh this was amazing! I love the ISTP being a librarian. My absolute dream job and I already know the library catalogue, without even having the job yet :D
LOVED. IT!! Every minute! Way to flesh out the 16 Characters, FJ! And the sub-plots are delightfully entertaining! [Special mentions would take pages, but... Rocko the Taco flew a plane to Morocco and I cry-laughed, the mega-efficient but hopelessly clueless ISTJ librarian/poor darling INFJ, the roaming-toe-biting toddler alone is a whole feeling/Love!... Also remember 🤣, the dog-earring & Dorito-stained books was traumatising lol, E/INTJ how blasphemous! To use the toilets... only?!? ... Then: Yes, what if your boyfriend was a vampire?! 🤣] You touched upon the big questions again, philosopher FJ, and with such flair! Here's another 🧡 to keep you going! 😃👋
my friend and i are entj and intj and we have had that exact connversation.
Can confirm that I enjoy overanalysing the deeper metaphorical aspects of classic childhood books (although I’m far too shy to actually speak, lol)
- an INTP :)
"Rocko the Taco flew a plane to Morocco" 😂. I love your videos because they helped me so much to better understand my personality type, never skipped a single video since subscribing to your channel 2 years ago. A fellow Infj from Morocco 😊
yay! Thanks so much for your kind words!! Hooray Morocco!
@@FrankJames 🌹🌹❤
Okay ... hands down... now I shipp ISTJ and INFJ - that's so cute and so saaaaad. As INFJs it's so hard to ask someone out... But this could evolve to a wholesome lovestory. Next week my mum (ISFJ) and I will go to the library, maybe I should keep my eyes open. - hopelessly single INFJ that don't like dating apps. 😘
P.S. Great video the storytelling is awesome. Love it.
This was awesome. I used to volunteer at my library's used bookstore for ten years.
As an INFJ with ISTJ boyfriend, thank you for reliving my past trauma! 😂
We NEED more of the INTP dad
Wow. You have been working hard on creating this video. I love your dedication and time spent on writing and acting. A one person show that aims to portray 16 different ways of thinking. If I can just be honest, I don’t see myself in my own personality type. Don’t get me wrong, I think the character was fun and amusing. Perhaps it does show a type of a type that I simply am not. On the inside, I actually have the: I do what I want! written. Or, since I am ennea 1, I will put it differently: I comply to external rules as long as they suit my ideals and don’t crush my sense of freedom and autonomy. I don’t pursue people. I want to befriend them while being placed in a social circle and I usually ask a lot of questions (which is normal for me), but if it doesn’t work, I go back to my ‘usual’ self that thrives while creating things, visualizing possibilities (and probably wondering how to make them come true and if they are even worth the effort I place in them). And even if something is ‘done’, I go back to working on it because I am not satisfied. Tbh, I am actually a rebel in disguise. I have always known that, although I am aware that in order for others to see it, they need to really know me. That is because I try not to be ‘too much’ , so I dial it down (until a certain point where I feel immense external pressure that takes my freedom of choice and expression away). I think I have mentioned that Mathilda (from the 2022 musical) is my type of a type. She is a social 1 so watching her on the screen was like having a mirror placed in front of me. Especially her defiance to rules. Do you think it will ever be possible to consider her sort of a character (and well, also mine) while writing the part for our personality type? It is closer to the essence of the type.
The INFP as the narrator is so accurate as an INFP-T.
For the record, if INTJ showed up, INTJ would be in the corner with a laptop and one or two select books (that they brought from home), watching the surroundings silently in supervillain mode, not going for the purpose of loudly slamming book-readers for going to libraries.
I 100% believe in the importance of libraries and fully support greater funding - from a distance.
Sincerely,
an INTJ.
I was really rooting for INFJ
Yeah 🥲
Same
Dog ear dog world made me laugh so hard
Also I'm an infj who works in children's section of a library so this is great (I'm also married to an istj lol)
I’m an INFJ who used to work at a library and I really loved this. Also my dad used to work at a library and met my mom (a patron) there
Was actually thinking that the ISTJ in this video was quite handsome and then his handsomeness gets referenced twice in the video.
Now I need to watch again ro analyse what's making him handsome.
It’s the hair and the sweater I think. And of course the face. Hehe the ISTJ has a handsome face
@@AdorableOracle Right? I think the hair framed his face very well. Glasses may have helped. The colour of his shirt and probably the relaxed, neutral facial expressions.
The glasses. ☺️
I know we are supposed to select mate based on his strengths, but screw Darwin, I love men in glasses.
@@hengi333 Yes!! It's become the norm these days to associate a bespectacled human with intelligence, and their is no greater strength than intelligence.

This was HILARIOUS!!! 😂😂😂 I literally LOLed many times. I love how it had multiple interweaving stories. The ending was also very satisfying. 😌
