      Yup. As an ISTP, one thing I've had to learn to do to be more disciplined, focused, and purposeful is to learn to appreciate limitations. Say I have a task at work, but there's a set of restrictions placed on me. After the initial flare of anger, I try to force myself to look at things more as a challenge, a puzzle to be solved. It forces me to be creative and to think laterally, be resourceful, try new things. It can be pretty satisfying just in the attempt itself, let alone actually achieving my goal.

      I dont think for the Ne types its so much future focused searching as much as idea-collecting, where as Se is experience collecting. The ideas can be future or present or past or not bound to time (correct me if I'm wrong I know nothing)

    • @luneakvic
      @luneakvic Před 3 lety +49

      @@sourgrapes7482 Exactly. Ideas are not bound by time, I'm guessing that OP was generalizing on what Frank said at 10:55, which can be misleading.
      N is not necessarily future-focused, it is about seeking patterns in concepts. They tend to skip ahead on the information from the five senses, as they are "obvious, mundane, and irrelevant to their worldview". People with Ne-dom or the _N_P types especially, they find connections and branch very wide, because they don't want to miss anything out. They just tend not to go deep into the gathered information because they seek variety.
      Ni-dom or _N_J types tend to organize the abstract information gathered to form their own strong foundation, which is why they restrict themselves because they focus on organizing the patterns, not seeking variety. Which is why they tend to be "future-focused", it's just because they try to generalize as much stuff as possible from the strong foundation they built to make better decisions in the future according to themselves.
      TLDR: N types are not necessarily future-focused. Especially not for _N_P types (doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to focus on the future)

    INFP here. I generally find something I like, learn about everything I need to know about it, throw it away, and then search for something new.
    For instance :
    - Suddenly wants to draw
    - Starts drawing
    - Realizes it doesn't look good
    - Reads books, practices
    - After one week : knows where to put shadows, realized it's better to draw with landmarks, learned about human anatomy. Still bad at drawing though.
    - Forgets about drawing. Gets interested in anthropology and human anatomy.

      5. MEMES

      7. My friend seem less depressed somehow.. Result! Even though I didn't do anything 🤣

      I am infp and can't relate, I drew since I am very young and rather keep going and try out new materials to keep me going. I am a perfectionist, I wanna get better and better but it frustrates me if I see others being so extremely good in one field. Still, it helps me processing things through, same for music and writing. I wanna try out new things but I rather stay in the same field to get better. That doesn't mean I don't try out things and give it up, like knitting, I am bad, I always was, it's a waste of time for me. But other than that, rarely I give up on something easily.

    I'm an INTP who marries an ISFJ. I'm often amazed to see how she gets things done while I'm still busy thinking of how things could be. When we moved to where we live now, we saw an unkempt backyard. My NP brain couldn't help but overwhelmed by the thought of how much work needs to be done. Cleaning, hoeing, carrying gravels, paving blocks, etc. But my wife was determined to make a garden, so she started working right away while I was thinking what is the most efficient way to do it. In the end, her way of doing things worked. We now have a nice garden in the backyard with vegetables, flowers, gravel pathway, and picnic area. Internet is full of intuitives discussing because sensors are out there in the real world, working and actually get things done. Respect for sensors.

      I'm ENFP with an ENFP dad and an ISTJ mom. She was always super judgmental of everything I did, how I looked, what I wore, what I ate. I hated it. My Dad wasn't that way with me, but he was incredibly strict on my schooling, because he saw my aptitude and didn't want me to end up like him. He never applied himself because of his P, so he ended up in dead end blue collar jobs for years. He wanted more for me than that, so he pushed me hard in school.
      The result is that I have a very boring clothing style and am unsure how to spruce it up. I also had a very hard time figuring out what I like and didn't like... so there has been a lot of exploration as an adult to discover who the heck I am.
      Also, I can be incredibly organized and put together, but it requires all my focus. I feel like a failure if any one thing goes wrong in my plans. I am perfectionistic with my work. And I'm utterly drained and want to throw it all away and head for a tropical paradise by the end of the day. I also crave travel like crazy because I need something interesting to do and see and experience.
      Anyway, it's so weird how upbringing can augment the natural flow of someone's type. Yet, it wasn't able to change it.

    These things are so nuanced! For example, my husband and I (like everyone else) got into chess this year.
    He’s ENTP. He played for 1 month and already entered and competed in 2 competitions. He’s obsessed with meeting and playing other chess players, and improving his ranking. He’s played 200+ games.
    I’m INTJ. I’ve played for one month and have been hung up on learning all the variations of the Sicilian Defense and knowing the game theory deeply. In my theory obsession, I’ve only played about 27 games total. My ranking is worse than his, but my win/loss ratio is way better. Also, the idea of competing against a real person or going to a competition feels really premature to me.
    Very different approaches to the same game!

I became really obsessed with the game and I wanted to learn as quickly and efficiently as possible the wining strategies and the tactics. I was watching videos, analyzing games from grand masters, reading etc.... But as a student, I eventually had to temper this newly found obsession out. It was frustrating at first, but eventually I got my focus back on what truly matters for the time being (aka my studies). I didn't drop chess altogether though. I do like it and I plan on taking it back once things get a bit more steady (currently in the middle of exams). Ni can fairly easily become obsessed toward something that has triggered the individual's interest. So speaking from experience; if you currently have important matters to attend to, don't start chess now haha.

      @@FrankJames I saw the J/P's first picture of your video so a comment was spontaneous. I think J/P dicothomy is nonsense, if you use it to determine organization level of someone.
      The reason is pretty simple: for example, how should INFJs be NECESSARILY organized if Ni+Fe is not about structure, productivity and planning?
      Maybe an MBTI IxxJ can have those characteristics, but it's a pretty individual factor: we can't associate everything to dicothomies (and, however, dichotomies are the worst typing method, because if you do like this, using tests like 16personalities, your results will change according to the mood, because you're not OR an x OR an y).

    • @mattiat.6697
      @mattiat.6697 Před 3 lety +4

      (2/2) The problem is this: IxxJ are, in reality, PERCEIVING dominant; and IxxP are JUDGING dominant.
      So Myers-Briggs has done a huge interpretative mistake in deciding J and P on external world apparent structure or flexibility, because in the original "Psychological Types" by Carl Jung, the fourth dicotomy (rational and irrational) wasn't necessarily determined by an external point of view.
      This is just a convention that Myers-Briggs exstablished to determine which people would apparently function best in a work environment, but, in my opinion, the stack and her definition of J/P are pretty in contradiction in introverts.

    • @reonaranara
      @reonaranara Před 3 lety +3

      @@mattiat.6697 IxxJ are introverted perceiving dominant. Saying introverted perceiving dominant would make them anything like an high extroverted perceiving user would be like saying that just because a duck can swim it's a fish. This isn't the best explanation, but the introverted functions process the outside world, which is brought in by the extroverted functions. Bringing in definitions of J and P- J is narrowing down while P is including everything. So, IxxJ will process (by S/N (which is actually just Si/Ni lmao) and store all of their information internally, while they narrow down the stream of outside information externally. But, since you need to have information before processing it, the introverted function will act like a "filter" before finalizing everything. This is why IxxJs are more "judgey"- they have a filter, with bias towards N or S, and then the world is more narrowed down by their judging function, before finally being processed and stored. For IxxPs, they will have a filter of T or F before storing things. IxxPs tend to have an internal structure of stuff. So, technically, introverts are more "judgey" than their extroverted counterparts because they don't immediately take their information in.
      Also, for the record, I agree that typing by dichotomies is nonsense. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, shape, or form. The thing is, J/P isn't dichotomies- it's functions. (This is why I'm fine with xSxJ or IxxP but not as fine with something like xNFx- xSxJ is Si user, IxxP is Ti or Fi dominant, xNFx is... Ni or Ne and Fi or Fe in some order which is kinda sorta pointless but its still fINe)

      First you find your extroverted function, because it's the most obvious one.
      So, do you relate more to Fe, Te, Ne or Se? (as an xnfj you should relate more to Fe)
      If you chose Fe or Te, you must now see whether you relate more to Ni or Si.
      If you chose Ne or Se, you must find out if you relate more to Ti or Fi.
      And now you have two possible types. Now let's see how you act under a lot of stress. The function you use in very stressful situation is your inferior function.

Plans were often broken, he'd show up at my place spontaneously, or want me to be available when he had a whim... it was kind of exhausting 😂 But there were some fun times when he got me out of my comfort zone.

    INTP here. But I find it weird that as an employee at work I am the person who always get things done, right away, efficiently (as my co-workers/boss say) and fast. But when it comes to my side jobs and hobbies, I procrastinate until the last minute.
    Now that I managed to get one of those side jobs as my main income source and quit my day job, I get more overwhelmed each day with the amount of projects I have in mind, kept hoarding information on how to do it, and ended up not doing it for months until I ran out of money and need to do it. 😅😅😅

      Reading tip: "Was that really me" by Naomi Quenk. This book is all about the expression of the inferior function in each type in normal and in stressful circumstances. So it's all about the grip. Interesting read. As you stated above, inferior functions are a great help with typing.

Also since I jump around a lot I basically know a little bit about a lot of things. Sometimes I wish I could just stick with one thing to learn a lot about and be satisfied with that but either I lose interest after learning the basics or I start to feel like I’m missing out on other things by spending so much time on just one thing.

    ENFP here. From when I was in high school and my friends knew what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives and I was like “but I want to do all of the things, and see all of the places in the world, and meet all of these different nationalities and cultures and learn how they view and integrate with the world... how am I supposed to choose just one career path when I can do many different careers”?! It truly is this unquenchable thirst for knowledge and experiences we have. ENFPs aren’t just fun party people. We want to know about EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! Usually in a very disorganized chaotic way, but our quest for knowledge is often overlooked. Thanks FJ for explaining this so well 😀🙌

    11:45 I’m an esfp and my wife is an ENFP. Whenever we have discussions regarding social justice issues, you can REALLY see our differences. My focus is on things like “I saw person x being treated in this way when I was at X. It makes me feel like doo-doo.” She won’t use examples- she’ll instead talk about concepts like “generational trauma leads to X attitude, which impacts X. But it also impacts Y. And Z!” Both are accurate, but are from totally different planets as far as extroverted sensing is concerned.

    Me personally as an INFP don't have too much problems working with extroverts, but often having more troubles with S types. Lots of conversations between me and S types ended with "You can only see things right in front of you and never learn any lessions" vs. "You're so off the ground and tries to predict everything without clear facts". N and S are the biggest difference between people sharing ideas for what I see personally😂

      @youngcrone456 Před 3 lety +2

      I'm also INFP and I definitely agree. I have always had more extroverts in my life than introverts, and extroversion is not what makes things challenging. With S types I always think, "Why can't you see the bigger picture? Why can't you see what's really happening here?" While the S types look at me like I've just sprouted a second head.

    @kristenpeaceinmn5791 Před 3 lety +13

    I’m an INFJ and I’m spontaneous as long as I plan it.🤣 The problem I have is with my N and my J. The N makes me act outwardly like a P. My N can sometimes (mostly I get things right away and can’t explain why I think something) take a while to “get it” “have an insight” however you want to call it and until I get it I keep gathering info. But I agree that I funnel information, I generally have a working theory and I seem to mostly gather data to support my theory. I don’t know if anyone else relates to that because as an INFJ I feel I’m odd. Yes I’m rambling as I said I can’t explain well! Love the videos Frank thanks for trying to explain the almost unexplainable.

    • @gabrielbolanos3871
      @gabrielbolanos3871 Před 3 lety +2

      No, I’m pretty much the same. (also INFJ by the way) For example, I hate talking to people if I haven’t planned it out / played it out in my brain beforehand, and often I end up misinterpreting things that people say because I mistakenly thought it had something to do with a random topic I was thinking about. I think I’m rambling too...

    • @Tia-vf2pq
      @Tia-vf2pq Před 3 lety +4

      I'm an INFJ and I don't like being limited mainly in time tables (which is described here as a P trait) and planning my day in advance. It's like I'm being tamed by time but at the same time I can't get anything done without planning. I won't do anything that I haven't planned beforehand. I pretty much agree with everything else. Also about jumping hobbies as P types do,I can't do that. It takes me ages and lots of information and insights to convince myself to get into anything new. Hell I can't even watch a show or movie without reading about its theme, reviews etc. and then convince myself to finally start watching it. As an N type I like to see why the things are happening ,make a theory about it and then gather information to support that theory rather than just seeing everything as facts. From what I understood here is that xNxJ are likely to be convergent . Like converging and linking everything into one.

    Wow I'm literally learning so much from your videos. You break things down to where I can understand something that I know is very complex. I was one of those people that kinda fixated myself into a personality (INTJ) until I learned that its not really about that. Its about what you prefer on how you deal with things in the world big or small and that you can grow from the basics of your personality and understand that you need balance-not to change yourself 100% but to really create balance and not be so one sided or I guess you could say one-dimensional. I just wanted to say that you are incredibly open-minded and your videos are very much appreciated.

  • @lilystanleylowe

    INTP here, and most of my friends are too (we can sense our own kind). Our mantra seems to be “I need more data”. The bright side is we are adventurous; the bad side is making major purchases tend to be excruciating, because we need to explore all possibilities, and by the time we collect all current data there is new data. The term “analysis paralysis” was coined for us. The other downside is that if I don’t have new experiences and input or access to it, I die inside. I also strongly agree with your NP vs NJ analogy. I work in the software world and my job title includes the word “innovation”. My job is to find new ways to use things, and explore possibilities, and you described exactly how my brain works. To me, I most often look at a thing, and rather than seeing what it is, I see its potential and possibilities, or how it could be improved upon. Thankfully, we have NJs whose job it is to distill those ideas.
