Frank love your channel a lot! thanks for all the valuee provided! how about a video on the correlation of enneagram including instinctual variant , mbti , temperament , and most impartantly the archetypes? I'm more than certain i'm an Intj , i've studied the functions, and just found this subject to be very interesting! What I concluded is that ,all the other tests (along with the mbti) helped me gain much more insight on the human puzzle! my tritype is 854 which is rare for an intj, so I had to dive deeper into all that to gain a better perspective and i've come up with some theories about the subject as well! so I believe a video on this topic would be very valuable! Thanks a lot once again brother!
I wanna know what's the difference between INFP-T &INFP-A I don't know if it worth a whole vedio, so if you tell me in the replies it'll be great😶 I really love your channel a lot and I really wish i'm not bothering you😶💙
Maybe a weird way to define someones Type could be to explain whats going on when this paticular Type is in depression and what could help best... Maybe many people could benefit from content like that...
you mightve gotten same results multiple time but u still might not be tht type for example i got infp all the time on the tests but after i got to kno bout typology i think i am not an infp but an istj but i am still not sure
😂 Has one personality type come out at least more than once? Cuz if every single time it’s a diff one then wow! You’re so mysterious and unique that no personality test can ever reduce you to a four-letter abbreviation. “No one puts Baby in a box”
@@TheWhistlingBireme lol idk if different ones come out for me cause I don’t ever remember the letters. 😂😂 but for ppl that do get multiple results than it’s so cool! I wonder how it would change results if ppl take the test with a specific social situation in mind? 🤔 and then take it multiple times w different situations to see if it changes?? 🤔🤔
@@juliarunn5009 Aww, maybe there could’ve been one? Some tests are super super wacky w the results. It’s like “what’s this site on?” Btw I’ve tried that! Like if the test has way too many questions that can go either way due to situations etc, then I’ve gone “hmmm, let me see. If I were at work ...” lol And they can also change A LOT if you go the circumstantial route. Otherwise, I try *rly hard* to go the “most of the time, based on real situations” route, cuz if not ... I’d be stuck on the darn things from here until eternity.
@@juliarunn5009 lol oh yeah, it would be brutal ... def not something to do w the longer ones, unless you’re forced to sit+wait somewhere and have a lot of time to kill. Such as: in a waiting room or waiting on a dentist and no one wants to talk. 😂
I've gotten INFP and INFJ before. After reading more about them, I thought that I am more INFP. Your channel, for better or worse, has solidified that.
Yeah the same with my sister, she got INFJ more than INFP but when reading more about INFPs she seemed to fit it more and when watching frank, the way he portrays INFPs is her, like the zoom one which mr whiskers was so accurate and another one where he said they just wanna be a lone and play Skyrim which is her 😂
Not related but FJ has really been upping his thumbnail game and his channel's overall visuals lately (the popping colors, the well-distributed lighting, the saturation etc). The vid quality keeps improving. 11/10. In relation to the vid, I get diff results everytime. ENTP, ESFP, ISFP, ISTP, INTP the list goes on...
16 personalities Judging vs perceiving = level of organization Mbti Judging vs perceiving = the way you make decisions & the way you take in information
@@barrydworak 16P actually says it themselves on their About page. I do wish that they would put it on the front page or in the results so the MBTI community wouldn't be so confused, but it explicitly says that it's a Big Five test but they wanted to use MBTI letters. They've changed: -Openness into Intuition -Low Openness into Sensing -Conscientiousness into Judging -Low Conscientiousness into Perceiving -Kept Social Introversion and Extroversion the same from OCEAN/B5, of course. -Agreeableness into Feeling -Disagreeableness into Thinking -And Neuroticism into their own Assertive and Turbulent modifiers. The reason that it still kind of works for SOME people is that the external behavior patterns measured by OCEAN can stem from the traits that 16Personalities assigned to them. If Thinkers are more concerned with concepts and ideas than they are with people and relationships then, sure, a lot of Thinkers would behave in a disagreeable way. If a dominant function is introverted then an MBTI introvert may spend more time keeping their own counsel than socializing. If an Introverted Sensor thinks there's a right way and a wrong way to do something then they would rank low on Openness in OCEAN and therefore also be labelled as a Sensor by 16Personalities. But since MBTI is about how your brain works, judging surface behaviors will often lead people astray in typology. Like, being a Thinker definitely doesn't mean you are innately a jerkface. Take it from a socially introverted ENTP that used to not care about how people reacted to uncomfortable truths but learned to grow and choose which hills to die on. Likewise, a Sensor might be inclined to prefer to do things the same way all the time but learn the value of experimenting and trying new things -- hell, xSTx types are heavily represented in the science community, and that's all about experimentation and innovation. So, you see how looking at the surface like OCEAN does can fail to predict Myers-Briggs type.
@@FalconOfStorms I've taken so many tests now I didn't notice! Thanks for posting that. 🙂 I always come out the same except that on their test I went from T to A after some serious inner work, EMDR, etc.
This was me. I was supposedly an INFJ for years, but it never seemed to fit. Then I learned about the functions and realized I’m an ISFJ. I think most internet INFJs are mistyped.
@@lauraw353 I think so as well. I think quite a few INFJs are mistyped cus people aren't realizing that ISFJs are also able to daydream and spend several days just doing the same thing (Si), like watching youtube. I feel like people are assuming that all high Se and Si are more extroverted than Ni and Ne and therefore being on the S-side means you want to go out and do shit all the time, which just isn't true haha. And people also always scream "but there are more N interested in mbti!! we're all just in one place!!!", no carla you are just mistyped, read up
@@demonickitten "And people also always scream "but there are more N interested in mbti!! we're all just in one place!!!", no carla you are just mistyped, read up" Best thing I've read all week.
i feel like i’m actually an infj, i’ve taken the test so many times and the only time i’ve gotten different results is when i got enfj instead. but after reading about every personality i don’t think i’m mistyped
When I answer multiple personality tests like I behave at work, I get INTJ every time. When I answer multiple personality tests like I behave at home, I get INFJ every time. The trick to this is that behavior is incredibly relative to environment.
it's not even a real mbti test, since it's based on behaviour it's exactly like a Big Five test. introversion and extroversion are openness, thinking and feeling are agreeableness, and the turbulent/assertive part is level of neuroticity, for example. it doesn't even consider the cognitive functions, which is what the real test is based on. however it's much better to look into the functions and figure out your type on your own.
@@larsswig912 Oh that's exactly why I've taken multiple types of personality tests. I'm not just talking about 16Personalities or the free stuff when I say what I did; my results are pretty consistent across every type of MBTI test I've taken. The point still stands is that behavior is incredibly relative to environment. There will be trends in which cognitive functions you prefer in different situations, but extremely rarely will one set will define how a person reacts in all situations. People don't have personality types, they have personality preferences.
@@ryanbarker3978 you've got a point. cognitive functions are more based on thought processes rather than behaviour, as I've observed. thought processes or the way you think, will affect your behaviour. but so will the environment. for example, you might prefer to speak up against injustice but the environment might prevent you from doing that, so you wouldnt do it. which means that the way people interpret questions can be different when it comes to personality tests (is this asking whether I would do it if I could, or whether I would do it regardless of any situation?) I suppose that's why people might get different results. so imo, it's best to just look into the essence of the tests (in this case, cognitive functions) and determine your own type yourself.
@@larsswig912 Completely agreed. Also experiences shape thought processes and thought processes can absolutely be altered by experiences, which then can chain all the way down the line. The lonely kid who grew up socially rejected often experiences huge personality shifts when they finally figure out how to break out of their shell. Human beings have innate needs for control, acceptance, and consistency. When somebody doesn't have those three things healthfully balanced, it drastically alters who they are. This may seem like a tangent, but I point it out because most of the people you will meet these days will be off center on one of these three axes. Modern times are distancing young people more and more from each other every year, and if they're not careful, that can distance them from who they really are.
Pasting this from mbti-notes, all the credit goes to that blog Hope it helps ;_; Dominant Ti (ISTP & INTP): Ti is a judging function that relies on a personal framework of knowledge Ti uses factual knowledge and skill to prevent/avoid/solve problems Ti uses mastery over oneself to achieve a state of self-sufficiency IxTPs are naturals at impartial assessment of facts and problems Healthy IxTPs are calm, capable, able to change as facts change Mature IxTPs are known for being masters of their chosen craft. They are relied upon for knowledge, expertise, and troubleshooting. At their best, they dissect and analyze situations with impressive confidence, precision, and accuracy, easily coming up with elegant solutions to problems. Immature IxTPs display the negative aspects of Ti due to overly reductive logic and excessively critical judgment, carelessly ignoring any information that doesn’t “make sense” to them. They tend to be loners, arrogant, dismissive, or inhospitable/irresponsible in their dealings with people. Signs that someone is NOT Ti dominant: isn’t aware of or doesn’t care about logical fallacies/contradictions afraid/wary of criticism; doesn’t like to be challenged on the facts relies heavily on routine, order, structure, or organizing to function easily confused; often suffers from conflicted feelings/emotions Dominant Fi (ISFP & INFP): Fi is a judging function that relies on personal feelings of congruency Fi uses feelings to derive value judgments about good/bad Fi uses feelings of integrity to encourage honorable character IxFPs are naturals at honest self-appraisal, authentic self-expression Healthy IxFPs are gentle, passionate, loyal, empathetic Mature IxFPs are known for caring very deeply, so their actions always align with their values. They appreciate individual uniqueness, advocate for moral causes, and defend the vulnerable. At their best, they keep people in touch with their humanity and encourage unconditional self-acceptance. Immature IxFPs display the negative aspects of Fi due to being easily misled/blinded by their feelings, perhaps unable to relate to things outside of their personal experience. They tend to be moody, alienating, and even self-righteous, treating their feelings as fact and unaware of their own biases. Signs that someone is NOT Fi dominant: weak identity; fuzzy moral judgment; no/few strong passions/preferences not very affected by the personal; able to function fine even if unhappy wary of intense feelings; more affected by others’ (than own) feelings poor emotional awareness; believes feelings are biased/unreliable
@@Daisyhatingugolyee wow we are same...when I try learning who I'm I getting sentimental / live music's / get sad easily like INFP...but when I'm working n around people INTP personality getting to me....I didn't really care about others / no small talk....so I just except it this is me & will not change it for other's....
Typed as ISTJ in high school. Nowadays when I take the test, I'm pretty consistently INTJ with borderline INTP marks. EDIT: Turns out I'm an INTP all along.
I have always tested ESFJ, but only as a post-middle aged adult did I realize I was an ENFJ. I didn't understand the concept of Introverted Intuition. I used to think intuition was only what I now realize to be Ne. When I starting learning about Ni, I started to really see that part of myself. Learning the nuances of the cognitive functions opened up a whole new world for me!
It's easier when you get old enough to look at yourself and what you've chosen to do, objectively. Can fix most anything, program computers with little formal training, curious about how things work, into action sports of all kinds, own a Jeep and a motorcycle, high awareness of environment, drive fast with one hand, like movement and practicing skills, find myself alone a lot. Can't emote for the camera. Have a hard time trusting my feelings even when I know I should. Uninterested in abstract meanderings but good with patterns. Don't really understand how to just "connect" with random people, good with dogs though. I tested INFP, ENFP when I was younger because I had no clue about myself other than the P which was obvious and the I which I was trying to fight against, since I grew up lonely AF. The idea that I was an NF type is just ludicrous to me now. I'm pretty damned obviously an ISTP - but again I had to get to where I could just observe myself, not project. 🙂
I'm having a hard time knowing for sure what my type is. Last year when I took the test, I was an unhealthy INFP. But since then a ton of things have changed, but I know so much abt Myers Briggs that I'm afraid I'm unconsciously skewing the results, and I'm also an overthinker, meaning I interpret the same questions a million different ways depending on the day. I also admire the Thinking over Feeling aspect, so I can't tell if I am more of a thinker, or if I'm a feeler trying to act like a thinker. So in short I'm probably still an INFP who overthinks everything until I don't know who I am anymore lol
FJ, I appreciate that you have a tendency in your long-form videos to reiterate an idea in several different variations. It makes the content more readily accessible to different types of folks. It's almost like you've taken a tendency to justify your statements, and turned it into a tendency to provide accessible clarification. It's a trip. Thank you for this video. You're rad.
I first heard about MBTI when my stenography teacher had us take a test in class. Half of us tested as INFJ. My interest was sparked and about 6 months later, through reading and more understanding, I more accuratly typed as INFP. I wonder how many of us mistyped as INFJ just because we were immersed in a daily activity and mindset that makes INFJs in flow and so the functions of an INFJ felt increased in us at that moment. Does that make sense to you?
I believe that people get mistyped as INFJs mainly because they confuse instinct with NI...all people have instincts like gut feelings but NI is something else
I took this test thrice and got INFJ everytime. This was legit for me. (Tho the difference between J and P FOR ME is low-key narrow) Dafuq so many likes how even- Guyzzz but I equally relate to infp too so I'm an INFJ-P ig
I think sometimes it's a matter of making the final call ourselves. If we get mixed results, we might intuitively know which type fits us best after reading into the types we got.
Yep, I got ESFJ the first time because I was answering how I thought was "correct" to be or how I would want to be, but then the description had nothing to do with me, I even felt kinda the opposite of what was written, then did it again being honest with myself and got INTJ and then I felt like I was naked when reading the description of it. I did it again after a time and got ISTJ, when I read it, I again felt like I didn't identify. I did it a fourth time and got INTJ again 😅 Now I don't trust the test, and went to read about the letters and cognitive functions and now I'm like "Yep, I'm definetely an INTJ"
In my case, after reading into them a little bit, I still thought they both fit me. So my final conclusion was that I'm both INTJ and INTP, I just switch between them depending on the situation and environment. I always enjoy planning ahead and preparing for many possibilities and undertake huge projects like an INTJ, but like an INTP I can easily drop my plans when I realize they no longer fit and I often leave projects unfinished because some other project caught my focus (or I just get burnout and take a break that isn't supposed to be indefinite but may end up being so).
I read a comment for a different site found out im intp looked it up and realized that this makes so much more sense for me infj didn't infp did fit me when I was younger but when I got infj on 16 personality that's when things stopped making sense
I think both works, either one are a learning and self discovery tool anyway so why bother limiting yourself to a single option. In another perspective I see it as this way, if 1 site tells me a different result than another site, I maybe have something more to think about myself and discover a more definite way to define myself then maybe I'll get the same result in both test. I think it's fair to say each method have their own perspective and I'm interested to see how I can use it to reflect to myself. Don't you think it's boring if you only have 1 definite answer and perspective to define yourself? I think it is, from an ENFP XD
@@98KyleStyle Hidden on their page is this disclaimer that 16Personalities is a Big Five/OCEAN Personality test, and doesn't use anything from MBTI except the letters: "We use the acronym format introduced by Myers-Briggs for its simplicity and convenience, with an extra letter to accommodate five rather than four scales. However, unlike Myers-Briggs or other theories based on the Jungian model, we have not incorporated Jungian concepts such as cognitive functions, or their prioritization. Jungian concepts are very difficult to measure and validate scientifically, so we’ve instead chosen to rework and rebalance the dimensions of personality called the Big Five personality traits, a model that dominates modern psychological and social research." If you're going to take it, keep in mind that it is not MBTI and was never trying to be.
I got INTP 1st time I took the test a few years back (on 16 personalities website), I dont 100% resonate with it anymore, mostly, but not completely, so I just retook it and got INFP, I belive im a combination of both. Humans are complex with varying personality traits that evolve and change throughout the years. So of course it will change and alter thoughtout time. Makes sense 😁
I think both. I mean most times someone gets infj id say is a mistype, nut also Ni also makes it very appealing. That’s usually why you see a lot of INFJ/INTJ online Id assume.
If you take the test HONESTLY, meaning you pick what is actually true for you and not what you wish was true, you should get the correct typing for you. I love personality tests, and I also really know myself. I consistently get INFP on every test and I would never expect anything different
I think more the former. People like INFJs are often interested in things like psychology and personality *and* tend to like organizing/systematizing, which typology helps do for human nature. On top of that, IN types in general are overrepresented on the internet. If 'socially correct' answers were such a big factor, I'd think that would skew things in a more extroverted direction.
Me thinking that thinkers are smarter: gets INFP Me not caring whether I'm a feeler or thinker and even answering that I prefer heart over head: gets INTP WTF?!
@@perpetuallyamethyst7704 I always switch between INFJ and INTJ. I am also 49-51% for F/T and I can not figure out which one I am. I relate to both just depending on my mood.
T people ALSO have feeling..... They can be emotional and have strong emotions as well. They can even be empathic. They just choose to listen to the head over the emotion. That is a HUGE misunderstanding by the people who does MTBI reading. Being a T does not make you smarter or less emotional. It makes you choose rational thinking and solutions over acting on emotion or base on the feeling. You will go totally against your feeling if it sounds the right thing to do when you are T as listening to your feeling feel biased and not reliable enough for you.( I am not saying this is true, only the way it is perceived ). Also, an F people can be just as smart or smarter than a T. They will just listen to their feeling over a logical solution going against what they feel.
How on Earth do u get such a wide range of types every time? I keep getting ISFP and am confident I am one ^^ but the test apparently only determines some of ur type so it’s not 100% accurate it’s just like a nice little point in the right direction if ya know what I mean
I was unsure about my type from 2018-2020. I evolved from originally thinking INFP, to INFJ, to INTJ, to INFJ, to ENFJ, to ESFJ, to ESTJ, to ENTP, to ENFP, to ESTJ, to ESFJ. I am now 100% sure of my type and that is ESFJ
God I used to get so many mixed results from 16 Personalities. Went from ENFJ to INFJ to INFP to ENFP to ENTP lol Edit: Holy heck guys, you've had it way worse than me. And I think the best personality type test at this point is just studying the functions and observing people lmao
I went from infp to infj to enfp to enfj and back to enfp to discovering that this website is a hoax and not a real mbti test. I'm an ENFP, which I deduced after looking at cognitive functions.
@fruityeden. sakinorva net try the test on that website, I can't post links for some reason so Google "sakinorva mbti" and you'll find it, it has 96 questions edit: it's better to have prior knowledge of functions before you take this test, otherwise results will be mixed. and this test is pretty prone to user error because when you take the test you might be overestimating how good your functions are. so that's a little heads-up I had to add :D
@@larsswig912 I think im intp. But 70% of test are intp and 30% is infp or infj. On sakinorva i get intp but infj was too accurate. When i try some free socionics test i get yusually EII. In free eneagram test i have 5w6 (this test i took only one time.) I should be Phlegmatic.
No you don't, it's that tests are wrong. 16personalities is just wrong itself, while others aren't always 100% reliable. I can't link stuff, but you can look up on google "mbti-notes tumblr theory", click on function theory guide and go to part III, the role of the dominant function
Your channel has helped me so much. I'm an INFJ- but I wasn't quite sure 5-10 years ago since you could never be too sure when you're not aware of what you're working with, and ridicously, I also didn't fit the stereotype completely, only in certain parts. I investigated more about the functions for a few months, and then I could confirm that I was an INFJ. The problem was that I'm probably 6w7 in the enneagram. Thank you for these videos, James!
I remember when i first got into MBTI i took multiple tests and as you may already guess, i got different results in each one, i got so confused because in one i got ESFP, in another one i got ENFJ and so on. Thats when i realized the importance of knowing the cognitive functions and i started to read and watch videos about it, and also i watched videos of how each cognitive function manifested in an specific personality type and after months of searching i finally got to the conclusion im actually an ENFP. So if any of you are still struggling with this dont worry, i will recommend to fr search about the cognitive functions by itself and how it impacts the way of acting in each personality type because sometimes this are way more accurate than just the main description on the personality itself.
I am ambivert and my test result always shifts between INFJ and INTJ. Nothing wrong has more than one personality in us. Sometime we change along with things we've learned and ppl we've met. Knowledge and life experience make us what we are.
When I took the 16 personalities test in 2016 my result was INFJ. When I did it again several times later the results were INFP. But then when I took this test in English (before I did it in my native language) the result was ISFP... 😂 But don't worry guys - I did a lot of other tests which gave me clearer results and invested time in getting to know the whole MBTI system better. I won't bash the 16 personalities test because it can give a good overview and I really like the avatars - but I think it is important to get deeper into the MBTI topic - the 16 personalities test just scratches the surface (in my opinion). So the cognitive Functions and the letters E/I N/S T/F P/J are important factors that are not really mentioned. Instead the -T / -A thing in mentioned that isn't really MBTI. I'm excited for the video :D Really like your channel Frank :D
I always get ENFP, and I'm pretty sure I'm one (if I hear any kind of music, for example phone ringing on the street, I immediately start dancing to the music), but I'm looking forward to this!
my sister in law got two times in a row ISFP but it doesn't fit very well. so I looked at her results and saw it could also be INFP we read the description and she shouted very quietly "thats more like me" after I asked her. My wife got INFJ on her first try and nowadays always ISFJ, but I know she has to be an INFJ. She panicked, because she feels like an INFJ she wants to be an INFJ ... I always got the INTP but I know I can't do the test anymore, because I know what to do to get the result I'm looking for, if I want.
At first I would get a mix of INTJ and ISTJ (mostly INTJ) but then I read about the types and learned that I really dislike using sensing and have a huuuuge preference for intuition, INTJ was more accurate. Later on I decided to try like 10 different tests and got INTJ each time so guess that was the right one
Same here And I've also done a lot of research but I couldn't determine if I'm an INTJ or ISTJ. For example, in Frank's sketches about how the 16 personality types are reacting to some event, I find that both ISTJ and INTJ reactions resonate with me on the same level, like I can't decide which one is closer to my personality. In the 16 personalities on being single, for example, I changed my comment 3 times and then I was like why would I overthink this? Let it be what it be, it's not a mental illness or something. So, meh!
as INTJ I will advice you to analyze your Ni whether is dominant (tendency to predict future, alternative results, being intuitive about someone's personality to rely on them for example, focus on your future etc) or you are more Si. I have personally come to the conclusion that intuitive people tend to be more visionary, we like to imagine what would it be if something happened, even if that thing is improbable to happen and that sort of things. But there it also a chance of having both Ni and Si extremely developed
You all need to read about the cognitive functions,both intj has introverted intuition as their cognitive function and istj has something with sensing,they both are really different,just read about cognitive function,you will find out what you are.
I keep getting enfp enfj and esfj my personality is funny , emotional , caring, put others in front and chaotic + I love everyone. If anyone thinks they know what I am reply😩
INFP I retook a test a year after a crap ton of hardship which forced me to develop my TE/SE at an extreme rate. In otherwise would have forgone lol but I retook the test and it told me I’m infj. I am very self aware and know I am truly an INFP but I have just highly developed my TE/SE. I’m ok with being a more well rounded superhero INFP 👩🏻🎤
Wow, literally me. Consistently would get infp, went through a rough year that I know changed me, was curious to see if the test result would be different and it was. I got infj. Both fit very well but I'm more of an infp. I know I'm not the only one but it's cool to see someone else in the same boat.
This is my infp stuff. (Stephylynn f) not much but it’s more of a feast and famine hobby. Also same one fb sand insta. Less sciency and more humorous random stuff.
@D-ana Ned yes same to me. I've took the test many times and I end up always as an INFP, the only difference is jumping between Turbulent and assertive. I'm also turbulent cause I'm very sensitive to what others are thinking or what they say. It drives me crazy cause I always read between lines in things that they say. I really wanted to be normal. My dream is to just live with nature and animals cause I won't get negative vibes from people. Such a sad fate. I feel you.
@@DiscoveryWonders err pretty sure those two wont change their personality or anything, meditation might help you come to terms with your turbulence and accept it, but uh pls dont do drugs unless prescribed by a certified professional
When you use -A -T it makes you stick out like a sore thumb, that you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Stop using 16 personalities and learn cognitive functions.
I'm tested as an INTP in college, I love knowledge, science, geography, history and culture as a student. I also like debates and competing with others. I'm a bit selfish too and hate anything nonesense like people going to the parties, drinking, talking nonesense and acting like crazy, like why would you waste your time on those activies? But later on when I became a teacher, I have nurtured my feeling side. I started thinking less of myself and had a desire to help and care for others. I was always emotional even when I was child but I supressed it because I lack social skills before, since I'm an introvert. I took the personality type test again and it classifies me as an INFP. Now I'm confused, am I always an INFP behaving like an INTP? Or an INTP with high emotional quotient? (sorry for bad english, english is my 3rd language).
I also got multiple answers, but then I found a little information about each letter and choose based on my self awareness with a help of my mother a little bit. ( hope this way is more correct than tests ) Currently I am typed as ISFJ, but your idea of tracking your own actions is a really good idea, I may do that 😊. Also your channel is awesome, informative and funny, and I found it cuz I wanted to type my characters from my story and now I am addicted😂
Most questions were one of two answers for me, because to me the answers were situational and mainly depended on ‘who, how and why’.. So, it was kinda obvious why I got different results.
It's alright, i don't love it. I feel like it got lucky with the time it met me. Type 4 with a twist of 5 baby. Still it's a fun thing to know. Enfp too. In case you were.. ahm.. wondering
When I first took a 16 personalities test, my result was INFJ-T. Read about it a bit, didn't dig too deep though. The fact that INFJs are rare and feel as if they don't belong was enough for me to resonate with the type. Then a random comment on YT told me that I seemed like an INFP, which freaked me out so I took another test...sure enough, result was INFP-T. Read about it some....a few things seemed right, others not so much. I concluded that I flip-flop between results of INFJ and INFP depending on my emotional state when taking the test. If I'm focused within and really keeping tabs on my feelings, I test as INFP, whenever I block out some of my emotions because they're too overwhelming and put my focus more outside of myself I test as INFJ. I do think I am an INFP though, don't think I'm smart enough to be an INFJ and 90% of the time I'm more focused on my inner workings than the outside world.
Same! I flip-flop between INFP and INFJ depending on my emotional state too! But 75% of the time, I think I'm INFP. It spooked me the first time I got INFJ on a test though 😂 had to do some serious self-reflection to figure all that out.
@@lunalanyi2671 Yeah, takes a lot of inner work to get to the core of it all. The thing that stumped me at first was that I didn't wholly identify with the INFP type, mostly because of the stereotypes surrounding us online. We're not all magical unicorns that daydream 24/7 and always know exactly what we're feeling at any given time haha
With years of people telling me how I react to things and my own almost constant analysis of myself over the years I have good self awareness. I always get your very self aware and intuitive. Now it really wasn't till recently that I really started to trust my intuition. I'm a INFP. I like different tools to know myself more. I strive to be authentic now and not a people pleaser. I like you as a person. You talk about subjects that most people wouldn't dare to talk about. That takes guts.
Step 1: Realize that 16 Personalities is inconsistent and inherently flawed Step 2: Learn cognitive functions and get typed by a person instead of a test
So here's an interesting thing, I've always been VERY enfj. I first took this test years ago and there was no question. I also have bipolar disorder that eventually became crippling and now I'm doing a lot better on medication. I'm finding that now, after finally building coping skills and finding out more about who I actually was underneath the delusions, depression, etc, that I'm pretty 50/50 enfj/p. I think when my life was incredibly disordered and constantly changing I really appreciated detailed planning and having some amount of consistency, but now I want to explore. I kind of like this blend because unlike many enfp's, I'm not only dreaming of all these crazy things but the enfj in me is actually making it happen. I'm excitedly talking to immigration services and plan to move abroad for grad school. I feel more in control and happy than I ever have in my entire life, and I'm looking forward to learning more about myself :) To anyone else who's switched types, what's your story?
I'm kinda the reverse when it comes to when I was more about planning versus not. I originally tested as INTJ-A, and by the time I retook the test about 6+ months later (the recommended minimum time to retake the 16personalities test) I had undergone an absolutely MASSIVE life change to the point where it almost feels like I just entered this world and my life before the change was just some backstory someone handed to me, and I re-tested as INTP-A. Before, I was extremely organized, I had my life together, and I was confident to the point of arrogance and an over-inflated sense of self-grandiosity. After the change, while still greatly valuing planning, I found myself to be experiencing _extremely_ severe burnout (and maybe PTSD and depression), and I now lacked the motivation to actually go through with my plans, and I became disorganized. I felt like I was just being carried through the waters of life. After retaking the test again another 6 months later, I got INTP-A again, and only a few days later I took a different MBTI test for an AP Psychology assignment and got INTJ. By this point, I would consider myself to be both INTJ-A and INTP-A, I just switch depending upon the environment and situation I find myself in. I try to plan anything I can and I undertake huge projects that take years to complete (and even when I think I'm done I still go back and make changes to it; perfectionism is a blessing and a curse), but I also roll with the punches and drop or make changes to previously constructed plans as necessary, and I often abandon projects because others happen to catch my interest.
Maybe that is why the ENFP type end up supposedly being the most "actualized" ... people naturally, strangers, friends, family give unsolicited feedback all the time as to who I am and how I come off to others. How do I turn off that life-time self awareness challenge is my question? Can I go to a social setting like a bar just for ONCE and not have someone puzzling over me? AND venting to me about it?
I always wondering when FJ made comedy sketches, did he made them based on 16personalities or from how each types use their functions ? Because I thought he used the former method.
6:07 Re: Keep it simple + type - specific A counseling psych prof said about the same, but added that shifts are natural through time. Those shifts may happen around transitions (graduation, first real job, marriage, etc), and have varied permanence. And, the more variables tested, the more visible those shifts may be. Kiersey, MBTI, Big Five, they all have uses, but Life shakes stuff up, and people adapt. And, I'd really like to see a collab between Frank and people who specialize in those other methods. It would be Excellent. Stay awesome. 😎
For me, after taking multiple tests, I gave up on them and actually looked at what the letters meant. I ended up with ISFP. I went on the subreddit for that type and holy crap we all think the same way
Dude im 15 12years of my life i was an ENTJ then gotta a burn out became an ENFP Tried fixing my life became an ENFJ Life threw me in hell and became an INFJ assertive Now the thing is , I have very strong ENTJ traits in my INFJ You see my point here
The Meyers Briggs website gave me ISFJ nearly every time I took the test and only parts of it were relatable so I never got into it. I was determined a couple of years ago to figure this it out after watching a Frank James video and through watching an ISFJ vs INFJ video (not FJ) I had a revelation of my INFJness!! It was like a lightbulb came on in my head! It has benefited me so much in my personal development and being more aware of myself.
I continuously get ISTP, but there are parts of it that I really think fit better with others. All that I can really say for sure is that I'm an IxTx. The other letters could be any combination 😕
Sure. Real-life people won't always fit neatly into one of the types, and some of us are more mixed/balanced in certain areas than any of the 16 types allow for. They're just archetypes, and even the creator of the system said that most real people are not entirely going to fit into any of them. Personally I prefer to think of myself as more of an umbrella of types that I relate to and whose mindsets I frequently venture into, with INFP at the center of that umbrella in my case.
Gonna have to look into Jung's book. I pretty much know what I am ('cept for those pesky cognitive funtions), but it's others I want to figure out so I can understand them better. Thanks for all the info Frank!👍🙂
@@detective3940 True, it gets infuriating when you get the same result because you remember a question and answer the same just like you would in a normal test.
I can't link stuff, but you can look up on google "mbti-notes tumblr theory", click on function theory guide and go to part III, the role of the dominant function
This is really interesting and helpful stuff. But I also watch your videos because I love the clear pronunciation. I'm from Germany and I can always understand without subtitles. It's good to improve my English. I learned a lot of new words.
So... My girlfriend and past girlfriends say I'm manipulative, while I just try being considerate. I am 100% in the introvert and intuition spectrum and I realize that I have started saying I feel like, much more since I have looked into typology and I do think about the whys and the values of things and always think about what others feel like. I have had a hard time trying to find out who I was, so I created an evil persona for myself, that was pretty epic and people actually liked it, but after a while even that felt wrong. I always give good advice, I get to know people fast and can easily describe them in a way that they agree with. I give off a vibe of not wanting to talk and it repelled 99% of the people that I encountered. Even the ones I became friends with and given them advice that helped them get through things. Until I have not treated having a girlfriend as a challenge, they always got randomly mad and started hating on me from one day to an other. My current girlfriend loves me and it seems like this will be the first long distance relationship, that will actually grow into living together with her. Third time is the charm as they say. So, I talked about myself. I think I am an INFJ. I do have problems with listening to people around me and many times I space out. I think of shedding tears of sadness as unmanly, but I started shedding tears of joy after getting into a much deeper connection with my girlfriend. I also have found typology, after I was intrigued by psychology and started planning on becoming a psychologist one day. I am good with patterns and I try to find my own way to do things, while I am not opposed to do them in ways that works for others.
Testing our ‘whole makeup’; kid/teen/adult & family/friends/dating/play/school/work. Questions aren’t about what you’ve created & what it’s like right now.. Do that & typings bound to chronically change. ie A dog owner asks: How do you treat your dog? You just say I don’t have a dog. Think about if you ever did/didn’t have any pets & would/wouldn’t ever have any & how did/would you treat them. Don’t be so literal & look for possibilities & patterns in your & life… #INFP & their #possibilities & #patterns 😆 Proud mom of an ESTP daughter & ENFJ son
When I learn anything, I read everything about the subject to make my own conclusions. Know thyself. Yes, I asked my friends. Plus, I'm forever making connections on other subjects like Sociology, Ennogram types and environmental factors, such as culture, family, work ect... That effects out cognitive functions too. I am an airhead at times, and my brain is everywhere, and I don't like control. But its OK, because I am who I am. Im never logical, because I do not believe in an Absulute Truth in anything. Anything is possible. The more I think I know, I relize that I don't know anything. My life can be an illusion, or someone else's dream, who knows. We just know what we have been taught, but there are so many things we really don't KNOW. Who knows anything for certain? I'm still learning... Lol I enjoy your channel, keep it going... I'll watch...
Same here. The limited functional stacks provided for the 16 types do not cover all the possibilities, at all. However, a) you don't *have* to box yourself into a single type if that isn't adequate for you; b) to some extent, more life experience can make things clearer. I never could have chosen between Fi and Ti when I was younger because I was a big user of both and they were both really important to me, but in the long run, my life decisions - and the interests/passions I tended to stick with most - were more rooted in Fi. So it makes sense that I'm fundamentally more of an INFP - but I still have more in common with INTPs than an INFP 'should'.
If you're an ambivert you'll sure be in the middle of the thing, like the most extraverted introvert, or the more introverted extravert. But you're for sure 49% 51% each.
I always identify with everything you say about yoursef in your videos but everytime I take the test I get a different personality type and it makes me so confused I just decided to ignore the tests results and continue watching your videos.
i love that the biggest mbti channel is actually well educated on the subject and not just a one dimensional pop psychology channel that tells ppl what they wanna hear but also who produces digestible content for people who aren't obssessed with jung and functions and just want a fun 'hey that type is me this is so relatable haha'

Frank love your channel a lot! thanks for all the valuee provided!
how about a video on the correlation of enneagram including instinctual variant , mbti , temperament , and most impartantly the archetypes?
I'm more than certain i'm an Intj , i've studied the functions, and just found this subject to be very interesting!
What I concluded is that ,all the other tests (along with the mbti) helped me gain much more insight on the human puzzle!
my tritype is 854 which is rare for an intj, so I had to dive deeper into all that to gain a better perspective and i've come up with some theories about the subject as well!
so I believe a video on this topic would be very valuable!
Thanks a lot once again brother!
I wanna know what's the difference between INFP-T &INFP-A
I don't know if it worth a whole vedio, so if you tell me in the replies it'll be great😶
I really love your channel a lot and I really wish i'm not bothering you😶💙
Maybe a weird way to define someones Type could be to explain whats going on when this paticular Type is in depression and what could help best... Maybe many people could benefit from content like that...
Thank you.👌💛 Best channel

Not related but FJ has really been upping his thumbnail game and his channel's overall visuals lately (the popping colors, the well-distributed lighting, the saturation etc).

Big brain
Dude just read the cognitive function descriptions and you will know. No need to play around.
I'm just glad I have a personality. Ha.
16 personalities
Judging vs perceiving = level of organization
Mbti
Judging vs perceiving = the way you make decisions & the way you take in information
Isn't it 16p that is a MBTI recast of the Big 5? I think it was Frank who explained this. His take on it is right on.
I hate how 16p judge and perceive mbti
@@barrydworak 16P actually says it themselves on their About page. I do wish that they would put it on the front page or in the results so the MBTI community wouldn't be so confused, but it explicitly says that it's a Big Five test but they wanted to use MBTI letters.
They've changed:
-Openness into Intuition
-Low Openness into Sensing
-Conscientiousness into Judging
-Low Conscientiousness into Perceiving
-Kept Social Introversion and Extroversion the same from OCEAN/B5, of course.
-Agreeableness into Feeling
-Disagreeableness into Thinking
-And Neuroticism into their own Assertive and Turbulent modifiers.
The reason that it still kind of works for SOME people is that the external behavior patterns measured by OCEAN can stem from the traits that 16Personalities assigned to them. If Thinkers are more concerned with concepts and ideas than they are with people and relationships then, sure, a lot of Thinkers would behave in a disagreeable way. If a dominant function is introverted then an MBTI introvert may spend more time keeping their own counsel than socializing. If an Introverted Sensor thinks there's a right way and a wrong way to do something then they would rank low on Openness in OCEAN and therefore also be labelled as a Sensor by 16Personalities.
But since MBTI is about how your brain works, judging surface behaviors will often lead people astray in typology. Like, being a Thinker definitely doesn't mean you are innately a jerkface. Take it from a socially introverted ENTP that used to not care about how people reacted to uncomfortable truths but learned to grow and choose which hills to die on. Likewise, a Sensor might be inclined to prefer to do things the same way all the time but learn the value of experimenting and trying new things -- hell, xSTx types are heavily represented in the science community, and that's all about experimentation and innovation. So, you see how looking at the surface like OCEAN does can fail to predict Myers-Briggs type.
@@FalconOfStorms I've taken so many tests now I didn't notice! Thanks for posting that. 🙂
I always come out the same except that on their test I went from T to A after some serious inner work, EMDR, etc.
@@barrydworak Quite welcome my dude, edited to add examples of mistyping through OCEAN.
"We all like to think we're self aware" is why there are so many XNFJ mistypings. Probably mostly from SFs.
Definitely. And the SF stereotypes don’t exactly make people think “oooo, that’s me!”
This was me. I was supposedly an INFJ for years, but it never seemed to fit. Then I learned about the functions and realized I’m an ISFJ. I think most internet INFJs are mistyped.
@@lauraw353 I think so as well. I think quite a few INFJs are mistyped cus people aren't realizing that ISFJs are also able to daydream and spend several days just doing the same thing (Si), like watching youtube. I feel like people are assuming that all high Se and Si are more extroverted than Ni and Ne and therefore being on the S-side means you want to go out and do shit all the time, which just isn't true haha.

@@demonickitten "And people also always scream "but there are more N interested in mbti!! we're all just in one place!!!", no carla you are just mistyped, read up"
Best thing I've read all week.
i feel like i’m actually an infj, i’ve taken the test so many times and the only time i’ve gotten different results is when i
got enfj instead. but after reading about every personality i don’t think i’m mistyped
When I answer multiple personality tests like I behave at work, I get INTJ every time.
When I answer multiple personality tests like I behave at home, I get INFJ every time.
The
trick to this is that behavior is incredibly relative to environment.
it's not even a real mbti test, since it's based on behaviour it's exactly like a Big Five test. introversion and extroversion are openness, thinking and feeling are agreeableness, and the turbulent/assertive part is level of neuroticity, for example.
it doesn't even consider the cognitive functions, which is what the real test is based on.
however it's much better to look into the functions and figure out your type on your own.
Every time I took the mbti personality test I get either INTJ A or INTJ T
@@larsswig912 Oh that's exactly why I've taken multiple types of personality tests. I'm not just talking about 16Personalities or the free stuff when I say what I did; my results are pretty consistent across every type of MBTI test I've taken.
The point still stands is that behavior is incredibly relative to environment. There will be trends in which cognitive functions you prefer in different situations, but extremely rarely will one set will define how a person reacts in all situations.
People don't have personality types, they have personality preferences.
@@ryanbarker3978 you've got a point. cognitive functions are more based on thought processes rather than behaviour, as I've observed. thought processes or the way you think, will affect your behaviour. but so will the environment.
for example, you might prefer to speak up against injustice but the environment might prevent you from doing that, so you wouldnt do it.
which means that the way people interpret questions can be different when it comes to personality tests (is this asking whether I would do it if I could, or whether I would do it regardless of any situation?) I suppose that's why people might get different results.
so imo, it's best to just look into the essence of the tests (in this case, cognitive functions) and determine your own type yourself.
@@larsswig912 Completely agreed. Also experiences shape thought processes and thought processes can absolutely be altered by experiences, which then can chain all the way down the line. The lonely kid who grew up socially rejected often experiences huge personality shifts when they finally figure out how to break out of their shell. Human beings have innate needs for control, acceptance, and consistency. When somebody doesn't have those three things healthfully balanced, it drastically alters who they are.
This may seem like a tangent, but I point it out because most of the people you will meet these days will be off center on one of these three axes. Modern times are distancing young people more and more from each other every year, and if they're not careful, that can distance them from who they really are.
"You got INTJ one place, INTP another place"

Pasting this from mbti-notes, all the credit goes to that blog
Hope it helps ;_;
Dominant Ti (ISTP & INTP):
Ti is a judging function that relies on a personal framework of knowledge
Ti uses factual knowledge and skill to prevent/avoid/solve problems
Ti uses mastery over oneself to achieve a state of self-sufficiency
IxTPs are naturals at impartial assessment of facts and problems
Healthy IxTPs are calm, capable, able to change as facts change
Mature IxTPs are known for being masters of their chosen craft. They are relied upon for knowledge, expertise, and troubleshooting. At their best, they dissect and analyze situations with impressive confidence, precision, and accuracy, easily coming up with elegant solutions to problems.
Immature IxTPs display the negative aspects of Ti due to overly reductive logic and excessively critical judgment, carelessly ignoring any information that doesn’t “make sense” to them. They tend to be loners, arrogant, dismissive, or inhospitable/irresponsible in their dealings with people.
Signs that someone is NOT Ti dominant:
isn’t aware of or doesn’t care about logical fallacies/contradictions
afraid/wary of criticism; doesn’t like to be challenged on the facts
relies heavily on routine, order, structure, or organizing to function
easily confused; often suffers from conflicted feelings/emotions
Dominant Fi (ISFP & INFP):
Fi is a judging function that relies on personal feelings of congruency
Fi uses feelings to derive value judgments about good/bad
Fi uses feelings of integrity to encourage honorable character
IxFPs are naturals at honest self-appraisal, authentic self-expression
Healthy IxFPs are gentle, passionate, loyal, empathetic
Mature IxFPs are known for caring very deeply, so their actions always align with their values. They appreciate individual uniqueness, advocate for moral causes, and defend the vulnerable. At their best, they keep people in touch with their humanity and encourage unconditional self-acceptance.
Immature IxFPs display the negative aspects of Fi due to being easily misled/blinded by their feelings, perhaps unable to relate to things outside of their personal experience. They tend to be moody, alienating, and even self-righteous, treating their feelings as fact and unaware of their own biases.
Signs that someone is NOT Fi dominant:
weak identity; fuzzy moral judgment; no/few strong passions/preferences
not very affected by the personal; able to function fine even if unhappy
wary of intense feelings; more affected by others’ (than own) feelings
poor emotional awareness; believes feelings are biased/unreliable

Typed as ISTJ in high school. Nowadays when I take the test, I'm pretty consistently INTJ with borderline INTP marks.
EDIT: Turns out I'm an INTP all along.
I have always tested ESFJ, but only as a post-middle aged adult did I realize I was an ENFJ. I didn't understand the concept of Introverted Intuition. I used to think intuition was only what I now realize to be Ne. When I starting learning about Ni, I started to really see that part of myself. Learning the nuances of the cognitive functions opened up a whole new world for me!

It's easier when you get old enough to look at yourself and what you've chosen to do, objectively.
Can fix most anything, program computers with little formal training, curious about how things work, into action sports of all kinds, own a Jeep and a motorcycle, high awareness of environment, drive fast with one hand, like movement and practicing skills, find myself alone a lot.
Can't emote for the camera. Have a hard time trusting my feelings even when I know I should. Uninterested in abstract meanderings but good with patterns. Don't really understand how to just "connect" with random people, good with dogs though.
I tested INFP, ENFP when I was younger because I had no clue about myself other than the P which was obvious and the I which I was trying to fight against, since I grew up lonely AF.
The idea that I was an NF type is just ludicrous to me now. I'm pretty damned obviously an ISTP - but again I had to get to where I could just observe myself, not project. 🙂
I'm having a hard time knowing for sure what my type is. Last year when I took the test, I was an unhealthy INFP. But since then a ton of things have changed, but I know so much abt Myers Briggs that I'm afraid I'm unconsciously skewing the results, and I'm also an overthinker, meaning I interpret the same questions a million different ways depending on the day. I also admire the Thinking over Feeling aspect, so I can't tell if I am more of a thinker, or if I'm a feeler trying to act like a thinker. So in short I'm probably still an INFP who overthinks everything until I don't know who I am anymore lol
I am INFP and definitely overthink every question like that lol
FJ, I appreciate that you have a tendency in your long-form videos to reiterate an idea in several different variations. It makes the content more readily accessible to different types of folks. It's almost like you've taken a tendency to justify your statements, and turned it into a tendency to provide accessible clarification. It's a trip. Thank you for this video. You're rad.
I first heard about MBTI when my stenography teacher had us take a test in class. Half of us tested as INFJ. My interest was sparked and about 6 months later, through reading and more understanding, I more accuratly typed as INFP. I wonder how many of us mistyped as INFJ just because we were immersed in a daily activity and mindset that makes INFJs in flow and so the functions of an INFJ felt increased in us at that moment. Does that make sense to you?
In that case, I would expect a stenography class to be typed as Sensors?
I believe that people get mistyped as INFJs mainly because they confuse instinct with NI...all people have instincts like gut feelings but NI is something else
So your daily activities involved a lot of Ni, Fe, and some Ti. Interesting conclusion and very understandable explanation.
I never got a mixed result.... I will always be an INFP
I took this test thrice and got INFJ everytime. This was legit for me.
(Tho the difference between J and P FOR ME is low-key narrow)
Dafuq so many likes how even-
Guyzzz but I equally relate to infp too so I'm an INFJ-P ig
i did too for a while and now its saying im infp like whaaaaa
Yaaaaay team INFJ
hello fellow infj!
Omg same, every time and i did quite a lot of them. High five ✋🏻
I always get INFJ but it's like 55% Judging and 45% Perceiving so idrk
I think sometimes it's a matter of making the final call ourselves. If we get mixed results, we might intuitively know which type fits us best after reading into the types we got.
Yep, I got ESFJ the first time because I was answering how I thought was "correct" to be or how I would want to be, but then the description had nothing to do with me, I even felt kinda the opposite of what was written, then did it again being honest with myself and got INTJ and then I felt like I was naked when reading the description of it. I did it again after a time and got ISTJ, when I read it, I again felt like I didn't identify. I did it a fourth time and got INTJ again 😅
Now I don't trust the test, and went to read about the letters and cognitive functions and now I'm like "Yep, I'm definetely an INTJ"
In my case, after reading into them a little bit, I still thought they both fit me. So my final conclusion was that I'm both INTJ and INTP, I just switch between them depending on the situation and environment. I always enjoy planning ahead and preparing for many possibilities and undertake huge projects like an INTJ, but like an INTP I can easily drop my plans when I realize they no longer fit and I often leave projects unfinished because some other project caught my focus (or I just get burnout and take a break that isn't supposed to be indefinite but may end up being so).
Step 1: Never use 16personalities.
Step 2: NEVER use 16personalities.
👏🏻
could u explain to me why so? :)
I read a comment for a different site found out im intp looked it up and realized that this makes so much more sense for me infj didn't infp did fit me when I was younger but when I got infj on 16 personality that's when things stopped making sense
I think both works, either one are a learning and self discovery tool anyway so why bother limiting yourself to a single option. In another perspective I see it as this way, if 1 site tells me a different result than another site, I maybe have something more to think about myself and discover a more definite way to define myself then maybe I'll get the same result in both test. I think it's fair to say each method have their own perspective and I'm interested to see how I can use it to reflect to myself. Don't you think it's boring if you only have 1 definite answer and perspective to define yourself? I think it is, from an ENFP XD
@@98KyleStyle Hidden on their page is this disclaimer that 16Personalities is a Big Five/OCEAN Personality test, and doesn't use anything from MBTI except the letters:
"We use the acronym format introduced by Myers-Briggs for its simplicity and convenience, with an extra letter to accommodate five rather than four scales. However, unlike Myers-Briggs or other theories based on the Jungian model, we have not incorporated Jungian concepts such as cognitive functions, or their prioritization. Jungian concepts are very difficult to measure and validate scientifically, so we’ve instead chosen to rework and rebalance the dimensions of personality called the Big Five personality traits, a model that dominates modern psychological and social research."
If you're going to take it, keep in mind that it is not MBTI and was never trying to be.
I got INTP 1st time I took the test a few years back (on 16 personalities website), I dont 100% resonate with it anymore, mostly, but not completely, so I just retook it and got INFP, I belive im a combination of both. Humans are complex with varying personality traits that evolve and change throughout the years. So of course it will change and alter thoughtout time. Makes sense 😁
@@wiedzmakBober same
I took the test multiple times and the result was always INFP. Turns out I am an ISTJ 😓
I guess I was in Si-Fi loop, so I was similar to INFPs
I'm wondering if personality tests naturally attract INFJs or if the socially correct answers lead to an INFJ typing 🤔
I think both. I mean most times someone gets infj id say is a mistype, nut also Ni also makes it very appealing. That’s usually why you see a lot of INFJ/INTJ online Id assume.
I took the test twice and i got INFJ twice
Genuinely i wouldn't get surprised if INxx types and Ne doms represent about 85% of people on the internet.
If you take the test HONESTLY, meaning you pick what is actually true for you and not what you wish was true, you should get the correct typing for you. I love personality tests, and I also really know myself. I consistently get INFP on every test and I would never expect anything different
I think more the former. People like INFJs are often interested in things like psychology and personality *and* tend to like organizing/systematizing, which typology helps do for human nature. On top of that, IN types in general are overrepresented on the internet. If 'socially correct' answers were such a big factor, I'd think that would skew things in a more extroverted direction.

Whats the percentage you get for your T/F?
@@perpetuallyamethyst7704 I always switch between INFJ and INTJ. I am also 49-51% for F/T and I can not figure out which one I am. I relate to both just depending on my mood.
I suggest you to look at the cognitive functions which describe you much more accurately (and are more interesting) than a simple dichotomy system
T people ALSO have feeling..... They can be emotional and have strong emotions as well. They can even be empathic. They just choose to listen to the head over the emotion. That is a HUGE misunderstanding by the people who does MTBI reading. Being a T does not make you smarter or less emotional. It makes you choose rational thinking and solutions over acting on emotion or base on the feeling. You will go totally against your feeling if it sounds the right thing to do when you are T as listening to your feeling feel biased and not reliable enough for you.( I am not saying this is true, only the way it is perceived ). Also, an F people can be just as smart or smarter than a T. They will just listen to their feeling over a logical solution going against what they feel.
For me it's infj and infp

I was unsure about my type from 2018-2020. I evolved from originally thinking INFP, to INFJ, to INTJ, to INFJ, to ENFJ, to ESFJ, to ESTJ, to ENTP, to ENFP, to ESTJ, to ESFJ. I am now 100% sure of my type and that is ESFJ

Edit: Holy heck guys, you've had it way worse than me. And I think the best personality type test at this point is just studying the functions and observing people lmao
I went from infp to infj to enfp to enfj and back to enfp to discovering that this website is a hoax and not a real mbti test.
I'm an ENFP, which I deduced after looking at cognitive functions.
@fruityeden. sakinorva net
try the test on that website, I can't post links for some reason
so Google "sakinorva mbti" and you'll find it, it has 96 questions
edit: it's better to have prior knowledge of functions before you take this test, otherwise results will be mixed. and this test is pretty prone to user error because when you take the test you might be overestimating how good your functions are. so that's a little heads-up I had to add :D

Your channel has helped me so much. I'm an INFJ- but I wasn't quite sure 5-10 years ago since you could never be too sure when you're not aware of what you're working with, and ridicously, I also didn't fit the stereotype completely, only in certain parts. I investigated more about the functions for a few months, and then I could confirm that I was an INFJ. The problem was that I'm probably 6w7 in the enneagram. Thank you for these videos, James!

I remember when i first got into MBTI i took multiple tests and as you may already guess, i got different results in each one, i got so confused because in one i got ESFP, in another one i got ENFJ and so on. Thats when i realized the importance of knowing the cognitive functions and i started to read and watch videos about it, and also i watched videos of how each cognitive function manifested in an specific personality type and after months of searching i finally got to the conclusion im actually an ENFP. So if any of you are still struggling with this dont worry, i will recommend to fr search about the cognitive functions by itself and how it impacts the way of acting in each personality type because sometimes this are way more accurate than just the main description on the personality itself.
I am ambivert and my test result always shifts between INFJ and INTJ. Nothing wrong has more than one personality in us. Sometime we change along with things we've learned and ppl we've met. Knowledge and life experience make us what we are.
Btw thanks for building this channel, it's probably a lot of work but it is one of my favourite things in the world
When I took the 16 personalities test in 2016 my result was INFJ.
When I did it again several times later the results were INFP. But then when I took this test in English (before I did it in my native language) the result was ISFP... 😂
But don't worry guys - I did a lot of other tests which gave me clearer results and invested time in getting to know the whole MBTI system better. I won't bash the 16 personalities test because it can give a good overview and I really like the avatars - but I think it is important to get deeper into the MBTI topic - the 16 personalities test just scratches the surface (in my opinion). So the cognitive Functions and the letters E/I N/S T/F P/J are important factors that are not really mentioned. Instead the -T / -A thing in mentioned that isn't really MBTI.
I'm excited for the video :D
Really like your channel Frank :D

Happened to me too, I get INTJ,ISTJ and ISTP
But usually it's INTJ
I always get ENFP, and I'm pretty sure I'm one (if I hear any kind of music, for example phone ringing on the street, I immediately start dancing to the music), but I'm looking forward to this!
I can't run from the reality of being an INFJ, no matter how many different MBTI tests I take
my sister in law got two times in a row ISFP but it doesn't fit very well. so I looked at her results and saw it could also be INFP we read the description and she shouted very quietly "thats more like me" after I asked her.
My wife got INFJ on her first try and nowadays always ISFJ, but I know she has to be an INFJ. She panicked, because she feels like an INFJ she wants to be an INFJ ...
I always got the INTP but I know I can't do the test anymore, because I know what to do to get the result I'm looking for, if I want.
this channel is growing so fast and I’m so proud (;
At first I would get a mix of INTJ and ISTJ (mostly INTJ) but then I read about the types and learned that I really dislike using sensing and have a huuuuge preference for intuition, INTJ was more accurate. Later on I decided to try like 10 different tests and got INTJ each time so guess that was the right one
I've never had this problem, as I've gotten the same results every time, but my friend has, so I'll be on my merry way and just send this to her
I've taken so many tests multiple times, all INTJ one ISTJ. And I've done a ton of research, I'm an INTJ 😂
Same here
And I've also done a lot of research but I couldn't determine if I'm an INTJ or ISTJ.
For example, in Frank's sketches about how the 16 personality types are reacting to some event, I find that both ISTJ and INTJ reactions resonate with me on the same level, like I can't decide which one is closer to my personality.
In the 16 personalities on being single, for example, I changed my comment 3 times and then I was like why would I overthink this? Let it be what it be, it's not a mental illness or something. So, meh!
Oh good, I'm not the only person who has no idea if they're an INTJ or ISTJ... I'm preeety sure I'm one of them
as INTJ I will advice you to analyze your Ni whether is dominant (tendency to predict future, alternative results, being intuitive about someone's personality to rely on them for example, focus on your future etc) or you are more Si. I have personally come to the conclusion that intuitive people tend to be more visionary, we like to imagine what would it be if something happened, even if that thing is improbable to happen and that sort of things. But there it also a chance of having both Ni and Si extremely developed
You all need to read about the cognitive functions,both intj has introverted intuition as their cognitive function and istj has something with sensing,they both are really different,just read about cognitive function,you will find out what you are.
@@lauraamo I already told you that with a lot of research I've come the the conclusion I'm an INTJ

INFP I retook a test a year after a crap ton of hardship which forced me to develop my TE/SE at an extreme rate. In otherwise would have forgone lol but I retook the test and it told me I’m infj.

Glad u understand who u are
Wow, literally me. Consistently would get infp, went through a rough year that I know changed me, was curious to see if the test result would be different and it was. I got infj. Both fit very well but I'm more of an infp. I know I'm not the only one but it's cool to see someone else in the same boat.
This is my infp stuff. (Stephylynn f) not much but it’s more of a feast and famine hobby. Also same one fb sand insta. Less sciency and more humorous random stuff.
I'm an INFP-T which is very susceptible to comments people throw out so lightly. Being turbulent is frustrating. I want to be normal.
@D-ana Ned yes same to me. I've took the test many times and I end up always as an INFP, the only difference is jumping between Turbulent and assertive. I'm also turbulent cause I'm very sensitive to what others are thinking or what they say. It drives me crazy cause I always read between lines in things that they say. I really wanted to be normal.
My dream is to just live with nature and animals cause I won't get negative vibes from people. Such a sad fate. I feel you.
Perhaps try meditation or weed 😋
@@DiscoveryWonders err pretty sure those two wont change their personality or anything, meditation might help you come to terms with your turbulence and accept it, but uh pls dont do drugs unless prescribed by a certified professional
”Turbulent/Assertive” doesnt exist within MBTI
Sorry, 16personalities lied to you.
When you use -A -T it makes you stick out like a sore thumb, that you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Stop using 16 personalities and learn cognitive functions.
I'm tested as an INTP in college, I love knowledge, science, geography, history and culture as a student. I also like debates and competing with others. I'm a bit selfish too and hate anything nonesense like people going to the parties, drinking, talking nonesense and acting like crazy, like why would you waste your time on those activies?
But later on when I became a teacher, I have nurtured my feeling side. I started thinking less of myself and had a desire to help and care for others. I was always emotional even when I was child but I supressed it because I lack social skills before, since I'm an introvert. I took the personality type test again and it classifies me as an INFP. Now I'm confused, am I always an INFP behaving like an INTP? Or an INTP with high emotional quotient?
(sorry for bad english, english is my 3rd language).
I also got multiple answers, but then I found a little information about each letter and choose based on my self awareness with a help of my mother a little bit. ( hope this way is more correct than tests )
Currently I am typed as ISFJ, but your idea of tracking your own actions is a really good idea, I may do that 😊.
Also your channel is awesome, informative and funny, and I found it cuz I wanted to type my characters from my story and now I am addicted😂
Most questions were one of two answers for me, because to me the answers were situational and mainly depended on ‘who, how and why’.. So, it was kinda obvious why I got different results.
No matter how much we try to run away from cognitive functions, we have to read them if we're really curious 🙂
what is ur top function
Has anyone tried Enneagram? I am blown away by the results. It is so, so accurate and I will recommend everyone to try that 💯
Yee I’m a 9w1
I looked into it and didn't relate to any of the type descriptions. 4, somewhat. but not really, not even considering wings and tritypes
It's alright, i don't love it. I feel like it got lucky with the time it met me. Type 4 with a twist of 5 baby. Still it's a fun thing to know. Enfp too. In case you were.. ahm.. wondering
ENFP 6w7. It's useful for knowledge, and it's also pretty interesting.
When I first took a 16 personalities test, my result was INFJ-T. Read about it a bit, didn't dig too deep though. The fact that INFJs are rare and feel as if they don't belong was enough for me to resonate with the type.
Then a random comment on YT told me that I seemed like an INFP, which freaked me out so I took another test...sure enough, result was INFP-T. Read about it some....a few things seemed right, others not so much.
I concluded that I flip-flop between results of INFJ and INFP depending on my emotional state when taking the test. If I'm focused within and really keeping tabs on my feelings, I test as INFP, whenever I block out some of my emotions because they're too overwhelming and put my focus more outside of myself I test as INFJ.
I do think I am an INFP though, don't think I'm smart enough to be an INFJ and 90% of the time I'm more focused on my inner workings than the outside world.
Same! I flip-flop between INFP and INFJ depending on my emotional state too! But 75% of the time, I think I'm INFP. It spooked me the first time I got INFJ on a test though 😂 had to do some serious self-reflection to figure all that out.
@@lunalanyi2671 Yeah, takes a lot of inner work to get to the core of it all. The thing that stumped me at first was that I didn't wholly identify with the INFP type, mostly because of the stereotypes surrounding us online. We're not all magical unicorns that daydream 24/7 and always know exactly what we're feeling at any given time haha
With years of people telling me how I react to things and my own almost constant analysis of myself over the years I have good self awareness. I always get your very self aware and intuitive. Now it really wasn't till recently that I really started to trust my intuition. I'm a INFP. I like different tools to know myself more. I strive to be authentic now and not a people pleaser. I like you as a person. You talk about subjects that most people wouldn't dare to talk about. That takes guts.
Step 1: Realize that 16 Personalities is inconsistent and inherently flawed
Step 2: Learn cognitive functions and get typed by a person instead of a test
i've gotten INFJ and ISFJ both FOUR TIMES. and don't ask me why i've taken the test so many times because i don't know
So here's an interesting thing, I've always been VERY enfj. I first took this test years ago and there was no question. I also have bipolar disorder that eventually became crippling and now I'm doing a lot better on medication. I'm finding that now, after finally building coping skills and finding out more about who I actually was underneath the delusions, depression, etc, that I'm pretty 50/50 enfj/p. I think when my life was incredibly disordered and constantly changing I really appreciated detailed planning and having some amount of consistency, but now I want to explore. I kind of like this blend because unlike many enfp's, I'm not only dreaming of all these crazy things but the enfj in me is actually making it happen. I'm excitedly talking to immigration services and plan to move abroad for grad school. I feel more in control and happy than I ever have in my entire life, and I'm looking forward to learning more about myself :)
To anyone else who's switched types, what's your story?
I'm kinda the reverse when it comes to when I was more about planning versus not. I originally tested as INTJ-A, and by the time I retook the test about 6+ months later (the recommended minimum time to retake the 16personalities test) I had undergone an absolutely MASSIVE life change to the point where it almost feels like I just entered this world and my life before the change was just some backstory someone handed to me, and I re-tested as INTP-A. Before, I was extremely organized, I had my life together, and I was confident to the point of arrogance and an over-inflated sense of self-grandiosity. After the change, while still greatly valuing planning, I found myself to be experiencing _extremely_ severe burnout (and maybe PTSD and depression), and I now lacked the motivation to actually go through with my plans, and I became disorganized. I felt like I was just being carried through the waters of life. After retaking the test again another 6 months later, I got INTP-A again, and only a few days later I took a different MBTI test for an AP Psychology assignment and got INTJ. By this point, I would consider myself to be both INTJ-A and INTP-A, I just switch depending upon the environment and situation I find myself in. I try to plan anything I can and I undertake huge projects that take years to complete (and even when I think I'm done I still go back and make changes to it; perfectionism is a blessing and a curse), but I also roll with the punches and drop or make changes to previously constructed plans as necessary, and I often abandon projects because others happen to catch my interest.
Maybe that is why the ENFP type end up supposedly being the most "actualized" ... people naturally, strangers, friends, family give unsolicited feedback all the time as to who I am and how I come off to others. How do I turn off that life-time self awareness challenge is my question? Can I go to a social setting like a bar just for ONCE and not have someone puzzling over me? AND venting to me about it?
Every Enfp's watching this : *trying not to get distracted by Frank's little up hair :>
I always wondering when FJ made comedy sketches, did he made them based on 16personalities or from how each types use their functions ? Because I thought he used the former method.
6:07
Re: Keep it simple + type - specific
A counseling psych prof said about the same, but added that shifts are natural through time. Those shifts may happen around transitions (graduation, first real job, marriage, etc), and have varied permanence.
And, the more variables tested, the more visible those shifts may be.
Kiersey, MBTI, Big Five, they all have uses, but Life shakes stuff up, and people adapt.
And, I'd really like to see a collab between Frank and people who specialize in those other methods. It would be Excellent.
Stay awesome.

I get different results depending on which language I take the test. Apparently I am more pessimistic and introverted in my mother language.
I took it 5 times and got INFP 4 times and INFJ once which threw me off
For me, after taking multiple tests, I gave up on them and actually looked at what the letters meant.
I ended up with ISFP. I went on the subreddit for that type and holy crap we all think the same way
did you look into cognitive functions?
@Sayo I already did, I'm positive that I'm an ENFP :)
I’ve tested mostly INFP when I’ve tried, and now, having learnt about the cognitive functions, I can confirm the test was right 😅
Dude im 15
12years of my life i was an ENTJ
then gotta a burn out became an ENFP
Tried fixing my life became an ENFJ
Life threw me in hell and became an INFJ assertive
Now the thing is , I have very strong ENTJ traits in my INFJ
You see my point here
The Meyers Briggs website gave me ISFJ nearly every time I took the test and only parts of it were relatable so I never got into it. I was determined a couple of years ago to figure this it out after watching a Frank James video and through watching an ISFJ vs INFJ video (not FJ) I had a revelation of my INFJness!! It was like a lightbulb came on in my head! It has benefited me so much in my personal development and being more aware of myself.
I continuously get ISTP, but there are parts of it that I really think fit better with others. All that I can really say for sure is that I'm an IxTx. The other letters could be any combination 😕
Sure. Real-life people won't always fit neatly into one of the types, and some of us are more mixed/balanced in certain areas than any of the 16 types allow for. They're just archetypes, and even the creator of the system said that most real people are not entirely going to fit into any of them. Personally I prefer to think of myself as more of an umbrella of types that I relate to and whose mindsets I frequently venture into, with INFP at the center of that umbrella in my case.
Type yourself based on cognitive functions instead of looking at the letters of each type.
I'm lucky as I always get INTP the only time I got something different was when I got INFP as a teenager.
I spent months believing I was an INFP
I slowly started to realize how I am actually super amazing for those suckers.
ENFP GANG
Gonna have to look into Jung's book. I pretty much know what I am ('cept for those pesky cognitive funtions), but it's others I want to figure out so I can understand them better. Thanks for all the info Frank!👍🙂

So... My girlfriend and past girlfriends say I'm manipulative, while I just try being considerate. I am 100% in the introvert and intuition spectrum and I realize that I have started saying I feel like, much more since I have looked into typology and I do think about the whys and the values of things and always think about what others feel like. I have had a hard time trying to find out who I was, so I created an evil persona for myself, that was pretty epic and people actually liked it, but after a while even that felt wrong.
I always give good advice, I get to know people fast and can easily describe them in a way that they agree with. I give off a vibe of not wanting to talk and it repelled 99% of the people that I encountered. Even the ones I became friends with and given them advice that helped them get through things.
Until I have not treated having a girlfriend as a challenge, they always got randomly mad and started hating on me from one day to an other.
My current girlfriend loves me and it seems like this will be the first long distance relationship, that will actually grow into living together with her. Third time is the charm as they say.
So, I talked about myself. I think I am an INFJ. I do have problems with listening to people around me and many times I space out. I think of shedding tears of sadness as unmanly, but I started shedding tears of joy after getting into a much deeper connection with my girlfriend.
I also have found typology, after I was intrigued by psychology and started planning on becoming a psychologist one day.
I am good with patterns and I try to find my own way to do things, while I am not opposed to do them in ways that works for others.
I have only ever got INTJ, so...

Questions aren’t about what you’ve created & what it’s like right now.. Do that & typings bound to chronically change.
ie A dog owner asks: How do you treat your dog? You just say I don’t have a dog. Think about if you ever did/didn’t have any pets & would/wouldn’t ever have any & how did/would you treat them.
Don’t be so literal & look for possibilities & patterns in your & life…
#INFP & their #possibilities & #patterns 😆

When I learn anything, I read everything about the subject to make my own conclusions. Know thyself. Yes, I asked my friends. Plus, I'm forever making connections on other subjects like Sociology, Ennogram types and environmental factors,
such as culture, family, work ect... That effects out cognitive functions too.
I am an airhead at times, and my brain is everywhere, and I don't like control. But its OK, because I am who I am. Im never logical, because I do not believe in an Absulute Truth in anything. Anything is possible. The more I think I know, I relize that I don't know anything. My life can be an illusion, or someone else's dream, who knows. We just know what we have been taught, but there are so many things we really don't KNOW. Who knows anything for certain? I'm still learning... Lol
I enjoy your channel, keep it going... I'll watch...
Mixed results is an understatement.studying the cognitive functions made it worse for me. Cause I use fi and ti.
Same here. The limited functional stacks provided for the 16 types do not cover all the possibilities, at all. However, a) you don't *have* to box yourself into a single type if that isn't adequate for you; b) to some extent, more life experience can make things clearer. I never could have chosen between Fi and Ti when I was younger because I was a big user of both and they were both really important to me, but in the long run, my life decisions - and the interests/passions I tended to stick with most - were more rooted in Fi. So it makes sense that I'm fundamentally more of an INFP - but I still have more in common with INTPs than an INFP 'should'.
Im an ambivert.
The rest is self explanatory
No your not
If you're an ambivert you'll sure be in the middle of the thing, like the most extraverted introvert, or the more introverted extravert. But you're for sure 49% 51% each.
@@misce_ yep
Everyone is slightly more one than the other. Even if you are like 51% introvert and 49% extrovert, your type would still be considered introvert.
Me too!
My type is EISNFTPJ
I really know myself
I always identify with everything you say about yoursef in your videos but everytime I take the test I get a different personality type and it makes me so confused I just decided to ignore the tests results and continue watching your videos.
i love that the biggest mbti channel is actually well educated on the subject and not just a one dimensional pop psychology channel that tells ppl what they wanna hear
but also who produces digestible content for people who aren't obssessed with jung and functions and just want a fun 'hey that type is me this is so relatable haha'
This channel is perfect balanced 👌
