I am an ISTP. I LOVE building furniture. My husband (INFJ) is always struggling in the background, while I get it done. We now have the mutual understanding that I am the furniture builder and he will stand aside

As an INTJ I love putting together IKEA furniture. It's like playing with giant legos and I loved that as a small child. I actually think of creating a side hustle where people hire me to assemble things for them but I don't know how keen they'd be on hiring a minor.

[@bethnix7382]

yeah im an INTJ and i could easily go all day just building furniture its fun :)

[@AskForDoodles]

Giant legos is accurate, I love it. Now if only I could actually afford this IKEA-assembly addiction...

maybe you are an ISTJ

[@ehmaree]

I'm sure ENTJ is willing to pay you a dollar. Better than his nephew.

[@Liat.]

If you do a good job and are polite and respectful towards the adults you'd get hired easily. Most adults would rather pay than deal with this type of stuff. Same goes for house maintenance, yard maintenance etc., all the jobs that require a bunch of strength, stamina and patience, traits that seem to decrease with age.

[@mmh2695]

As an ISTP, Two years ago I had the same situation with my friend I did all the work while they were arguing about dividing it, luckily building things is my nature, it took them 45 minutes to realize that the bench is already ready to be used.

As a Swedish person it is always fun to hear people try and say the names of the items! Great Video!

[@Bitter_Beauty_Music]

I know a bit of Swedish and the feeling of superiority when I can pronounce the names correctly and understand them is enough to keep me cackling for a day

[@Elyandarin]

As a Swedish person I never really got why people apparently like furniture better if they're named in my language. ...Though I guess it's harder to actively make fun of IKEA's weird-ass naming sense if you can't understand the words. Who the frak names an office chair "Wolverine Mountain"?

[@desertforest2221]

Jajamensan!

[@Seca95]

As a Dane I found this funny too, although Swedish and Danish have very different pronunciations despite being related languages. But we’re brought up learning a bit of Swedish and Norwegian at school, so it’s easier for us to pronounce compared to, say, Americans (Americans in particular though!🤣).

[@barrydworak]

Back in the '60s, Sweden switched the entire country from driving on the left like the UK to driving on the right like most of continental Europe -- in one weekend! The logistics behind this are astounding. A country with that level of organization and initiative should be able to clean up the language so it doesn't need all those extra weird symbols. Just saying.

I wonder if INFJ is my type too because I always wait till I am alone to put things together. Otherwise people will try to do it for me and I don't always want that.

[@celestialnichole]

as an INFJ who consistently calls her dad to “help” her with furniture (put it together for me), this is accurate😂😂

[@youngcrone456]

My dad is very elderly now, and is most likely an ENFP. However, even in his younger days, he was the worse person to call for this sort of thing. My mother, however, (who we suspect was an ISTJ) was actually able to assemble flat pack furniture.

Lord INTJs IKEA being a metaphor for Life is spot on! Also loved the wit in this one!❤️

[@Elyandarin]

I figure it took special circumstances for the INTJ to decide on shopping furniture in the first place. My INTJ brother moved into an empty new apartment and was like, "Eh, I'm only going to live here a year or two, tops. I'll put a sleeping bag on the floor and call it done, it'll save me so much hassle when I move out."

Yes, as a single INTP I'd be able to put that furniture together pretty easily (I'm even the one my mom calls to put hers together... Not even her husband 😂).

It's so nice that they include some highly interpretable guidelines to MAYBE keep in mind for the less intuitive among us.

[@augustinian2018]

INTPs have an additional step to assembling such items that was omitted: procrastinating from assembling them for several months or years. (I have a book shelf that I didn’t assemble until after I’d moved/relocated twice.)

[@keylimepie3143]

My mom had gotten me a filing drawer thing to build to organize my ostomy supplies in one Christmas. It took me about a year shortly before next Christmas to finally get around to building the thing. Now after a month or so later I have still yet to organize the rest of my supplies in it as it sits awkwardly positioned off the side of the foot of my bed being used as extra table space.

At this point, I just know they're including extra screws in case I lose one. They're so thoughtful. But I'm clean and organized and never lose them. That's why I put the extra screws in an unlabeled box with a ton of other extra parts from various different things!

Maybe it's hormones, but the INFJ-ISTP scene made me shed a tear because I felt so much love there for some reason between them. The INFJ, stuck in their head, only to be pulled out by the ISTP doing that act of service for them. The INFJ probably had a great convo (over text) with the ISTP later.

[@iPhony_16]

And the ISTP didn't care! (As an ISTP myself I know that I wouldn't care because I do this thing all the time).

[@gonebytrain]

As an INFJ who loves ikea(just grab your headphones and focus on what you need, it’s big enough that staff won’t talk to you, and few people on the weekdays) and putting together furniture I might be the minority, mostly because I love making my house as cozy as possible so I have a good reason never to leave. And building is all about logic and it helps me take my mind if everything else! Though maybe not the best idea while I was suppose to be working 😅

[@just.callmemack]

Okay same I love going through furniture stores (I don’t think I’ve been in an ikea ever… but it’s probably the same feeling I would get in a forever 21 unless it’s organized like a charming Charlie’s lol) because I get stuck in my imagination of decor and story lines and everything in between … I also like the forced concentration that putting together furniture can cause and I usually like to do it by myself because it’s my time to think but I like for people to do the bigger stuff for me because it can take so much energy but so rewarding, also side note if I could I’d buy every house fully furnished/assembled and I’ll do like book shelves and maybe a dresser or two

ENTJ's "As a busy professional, I ain't got time to put this stuff together, okay?" is 100% my mom (who is an ENTJ) 😂 So she usually ends up calling me to help and luckily for both of us, I find assembling IKEA furniture a fun puzzle-like activity and I (an INFP) love puzzles, so it all usually works out! 😁

[@Thetruthgirl]

I’m an ENTJ and a busy college student and when I don’t have time to do something I call my mom to do it for me, who is also an ENTJ. My mom is a pre-k teacher and keeps a very busy life aside from that helping all 4 of us kids all the time, lol. If I see I can help her in some way when she’s busy and I’m not then I do and when she really needs help she makes the whole family help and tells us what specific task she wants each person to do and how she wants them to do it. She does things with us because she is afraid we’ll mess things up without her, but she calls in everyone so that we get it done much faster with more people. As an ENTJ though I do enjoy putting furniture together like a puzzle if I have the time to do it!

[@maxineberrios510]

I am an INFJ who actually loves going to IKEA and loves to build IKEA furniture by myself 🤷‍♀️ My husband on the other hand is an ISTP and he will judge the living daylights out of the materials (not good quality, he's a wood worker) so it gets to the point that I can't hear myself think so I have to tell him to leave so I can finish assembling the furniture 😂 no point in asking for help, same thing happens every time so I build it and only call him when I need help picking it up

My dad also criticizes the quality of IKEA products, I don't know his type, but I'm the ISTP of the house.

[@marta83809]

As an ISFJ I love putting ikea furniture together! Just like I love sewing, pottery and loved lego sets as a kid. It's building something useful out of seemingly nothing by following the instructions. Perfect thing to use my Ti and make it sensory and tangible!

[@AskForDoodles]

I'm INTP and I love assembling stuff, literally any stuff. It's like enrichment for me. Never understood why IKEA ended up with a reputation of endless frustration.

[@annaskogscoachenbillman87]

Same. When my husband (istp) and I (intp) bild IKEA-furniture he dives right in while I read the manual first (he goes by "when everything else fails: read the manual"). We ended up with the perfect teamwork: I read the manual and tell him what, where and when, plus hand him the correct screws etc. Once I assembled a big cupboard with the help of my youngest daughter (5-6 yo) and she took care of all the screws and small stuff. Only problem was that I had to use the correct "name" of each screw to get it from "her store"... So we still use some of those terms! A round sort of anchor for a screw is still "a sumo wrestler"... 😂😂😂

[@sarielle85]

I'm also an INTP and actually wanted to make a comment, writing pretty much exactly what you wrote. IKEA is really great compared to others. The building techniques are so very efficient, they achieve a high grade of stability with the least amount of extra materials used.

[@CandaceDesignedStore]

Yep, exactly. With an ISTP husband and an INTP son, this INFJ is set, just in case my thoughts take over while I’m putting my stuff together. They both basically put things together with their eyes closed. I could definitely do it myself, but they do it much faster.. and I can help them feel more fulfilled in life - it’s a win-win. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@karmicguzzler]

The ENTP is scarily accurate. As a kid, I used to build Lego sets by looking at the finished set cover photo. Apparently that skill doesn't translate to IKEA furniture, but I'm going to keep trying until it does 🤙

[@Thetruthgirl]

This reminds me of my best friend who is an ESFP. I’m an ENTJ and once we built furniture together and decided to split up the work since we had to put the tiny things together before we needed to move big things together one at a time. She is extremely extroverted, overconfident, and assertive. She said in the beginning, “I’ve got this just by looking at the pictures, I’ve worked around my dad’s job my whole life”. Her dad is a car mechanic. I told her I think you should really read it but she didn’t. Next thing I know, my part is done and me and our other friend are putting it together while she and another friend run to get food, and realizing we don’t have the screws we need because she used the wrong ones in earlier steps and that she also put screws and other things holding it together in the wrong places. So then we had to undo and redo nearly everything she did while she was out

[@roonarific1086]

My INTP representation is absolutely right in that these things are a lot easier and straightforward when you just do it alone. Everything I put together solo, works fine, the one project I let my Dad help with, and the keyboard tray is wonky. I let it pass because I use that desk for my work laptop, and don't need/use the keyboard tray, but still, should've done it alone. And Mr. Perkins is ridiculously accurate. An old friend had a cat who loved boxes. We did watch him once spend 10 minutes squeezing himself into a box half his size, he successfully just about managed it. Proud of his commitment to his weird fascination with boxes

[@ArcticaTheFox]

The first time I had to build something with an instruction manual was a lego set which took way too long, but I got weirdly into it so much so I think I spent 6 hours straight building it and forgot to eat. The second time was an office chair that I spent 2 hours sweating over wether or not I screwed everything in properly and spent another day or two being too scared to sit on it because I didn't trust my own handiwork.

[@BluMacaw]

It's the first time since forever that I as an INFJ don't fit the image Frank has shown us and it's always near perfect. For a change I'm great with IKEA furniture, in the past I've always assembled them on my own for my parents, it was just fun exercise and a way to use tools I otherwise never even see. And IKEA isn't a maze, like you just follow the lines, it's a very non-linear path I will give you that, but it's one directional. Then again I'm great with maps and orientation, if I go anywhere on foot I can retrace my steps always and I mean always, no matter how many years ago it was. Comes handy during vacation and when playing games. But I can deffnitely see how others could have problems with either and just because I'm good at these things doesn't mean you have to, but then again I'm sure you can get there with just a little nudge.

[@herbivi-cus5382]

Same here, you decsribed my experience as well. INFJ and I love putting stuff together, and I'm good at following maps etc. It's just stereotypes what Frank puts on the videos, so I expected INFJ to be confused and overthinking one. It bores me sometimes but it's supposed to be a funny video, so. But when it comes to reality - I think skills like orientation and perception are barely influenced by personality. It just depends if you had an opportunity to develop those skills in your life or not. Some personalities are just driven to develop them, and some aren't. I always liked "real life puzzle" like fixing stuff and doing manual things like art.

[@jamielaw4749]

I'm good at building ikea furniture and directions, but I agree with Frank in the sense that 1) ikea is a sensory overload and 2) I can put together furniture, but often someone else appears and does it for me, e.g., like a sibling. It's just a strategy. - INFJ

[@Seca95]

I agree. I too enjoy assembling furniture and I am very good with maps and directions too, so much so that people call me a walking GPS, and I’m the one who holds the map on vacations etc. Sometimes it makes me doubt my MBTI and consider if I’m actually ISFJ. But I don’t feel like an Si dominant. Ni dom + Se inf define me better. But perhaps this thing with directions and assembling furniture can be explained with one’s enneagram too? -INFJ 6w5

[@herbivi-cus5382]

@@Seca95 It has almost nothing to do with personality, man. Niether MBTI, nor Ennagram. The skills you have are based on what you have learnt and what you've been taught, and your environment that shaped you and gave you opportunities. Also, if your parents were good at something you probably inhereted those skills, such as good perception skills or good math skills. Personality and cognitive skills (like IQ, perception, memory, attention) run in genes, but there're two totally different things. Personality can drive some people to explore and develop some skills, or make people like certain activities more than others, but it's not limiting anyone from what they can do. Personality is more about how you make decisions, not what skills you are good at. For your own good and peace of mind - there's no point searching for a personality explaination why you're good with certain skills. And there's no point doubting your personality if you don't fit a very simplified stereotype of it.

[@Mart00091]

Because infjs are Se inferior meaning Infj and intjs involving themselves in the external world comes less naturally to them and can sometimes overwhelm them

[@Deardahliax]

Infj & istp is spot on me & my best friend. I zone off talking, turn around & all my furniture is complete. Win win 😅

[@lailanitukuafu]

Last month I put a small cabinet together all by myself even though the instructions said not to. I'm such a rebel 😎 -INFP

[@kietsuhime]

Ok, this is one case in which I diverge from the average INFP. I am handy AF! I have built so many pieces of furniture for the house, installed blinds, installed outlets, switched out door knobs / door handles, installed light fixtures, etc. I love building things. I am also a jack of all trades artist and I make my own cosplays from scratch too. I love willing things into existence with my own hands. It's so fun for me!

[@ianaxel1111]

Have a great weekend. Stay cool and attractive 😎

[@FrankJames]

Thanks so much!!

[@merlin0552]

0:05 It’s the middle of the night, but I couldn’t suppress the most startled laugh when I saw that x’D

[@Superkid33]

Why is the INFP imaginary friend thing so relatable! XD (even though I’m an ENFP)

[@starz5282]

I feel like this was a total missed opportunity for ISTJ. That furniture would have been put together perfectly after explicitly following the detailed instructions.

[@junewins5216]

I have ISTP female friend and she help me to assemble the damn wardrobe of mine just in 3 hours. Well, if that myself who done it, maybe need 9 hours and it's gonna upside down. Love ya ISTP. INTJ speaking.

[@nataliegivan8726]

When I lived in NYC, my friend’s husband helped assemble furniture. Now I live in a place that doesn’t have a narrow entry and I can buy furniture assembled and delivered to avoid this nightmare.

[@mekhakreature]

Even as an INTJ, I've typically had the ISTP experience. They're just big old Legos and I love seeing something come together just right! I used to volunteer to put together stuff for my friends as long as they promised to minimize conversations and socializing with we while I worked. I'm not as efficient as my mom is, though, she's got a special skill for this stuff!

[@L_Eres]

Lost in IKEA is so true, though I usually get lost while imagining where would all those fit best and how would it look. But don't know about other INFJs I like assembling those consturctors and even more - upgrading them in the process (rarely though and only if every single piece will be unique)

[@mrsinfjudith]

Swedish INFJ here! 🇸🇪 I like going to IKEA once in a while, but not too often. My ESFP husband really likes the meatballs, and so do I 🙂

[@erikavaleries]

Your government or Ikea should pay you for the endorsement! And Frank 🤣

[@louisejoel]

I move often enough that IKEA or knock offs are my favorite brands

[@siena1576]

As a beatlemaniac here, I appreciated the reference. Also, we love the new name tages you had us vote on!!

[@JellyIsland]

As a Swedish INFJ I love the puzzles of putting IKEA furniture together. 😎👍it's fun and gives you a feeling of accomplishment as well 😂

[@alinavoliarchuk]

INFJ here 🙋🏽‍♀️I was very intrigued when I heard about that guy's IKEA journey. Storytelling is everything

[@erikavaleries]

Will IKEA sponsor this if you make a series!? 🤣 16 personalities as IKEA furniture, as unpronounceable names, as meatball sauces & Swedish condiments, as couples arguing in IKEA, as alternative uses for cardboard boxes and leftovers wrenches, wow I see why your job is fun now!

[@Aria9391]

INFJ here. You know, getting stuff from IKEA delivered is a blessing. I've been to IKEA twice and the last time was in 2014. I love building furniture, it's a satisfying struggle and I'm good at it lol

[@ilveyouful]

The ISFJ humor was spot on 😅

[@LunaC...]

My sister is ENTJ and actually did get our nephew to put together her furniture from Ikea so this is spot on.

[@theoriginalwaterbaby]

ENFJ having the mega-optomism to call up "Avengers" to help is too accurate!! 😂 "You did all that... for THAT??"

[@jamiew83831]

100% accurate INFP. Can’t remember one instance where I had help. Do I not have friends at all, or do I have people in my life but I just don’t consider them friends? 🤔

[@affinity266]

"unless you know something I don't know, and our office is moving to the top floor of the leaning tower of Pisa, this ain''t gonna cut it" 😂sounds like something I would say when I'm mad 😁 This is my favorite ESTJ joke so far.

[@FrankJames]

haha thanks i was proud of it

[@KayNanArie]

I helped two friends move in one month and both times I broke down all the furniture with my own tools, loaded the truck, drove, unloaded the truck, and put all the furniture back together by myself while the friends were sorting through their storage units. Wasn't bad at all and totally worth the free food. ~istp

[@Miraiana]

As an ENFP growing up with 2 ISFJs (and dad never did the test, so yeah...) I was always the one in charge of putting stuff together. Last project "we" did "together" was some chairs+bench+table balcony/garden set, that I sanded, assembled and varnished by myself. 😂 (My bro just occasionally dropped by to ask "if I need any help" knowing that I don't need help lol) Now, I'm married to an INTJ and oh boy, our projects are a bunch of fun, and surprisingly, we make a good team. Productivity at its best.

[@youngcrone456]

My ENFP best friend would definitely excel at this as long as it holds her interest. She will quickly become an expert at something until she gets bored with it. But while she is in that zone, she is the go to person!

[@heddelviven]

I'm just impressed by the wide range of colors of his plain shirts.

[@sketchyskies8531]

IKEA is the only place you can summon a demon in less than 30 seconds INFP is accurate

[@laurynreynolds3350]

“I’m at my limit for socializing today…” 🤣🤣🤣 SO TRUE Yours Truly, ISTP

[@VGNaluri]

Despite being an INFP, I actually enjoy doing DIY projects on my own. Even assembled a glass display case bigger and way heavier than me on my own. Almost crushed my foot and hand under it but it was fun building it. 😆

[@Homesicktraveler]

As an infj, I can confirm I love istps (and intps, of course- the Ti gang are the best:)

[@morghan_]

What this video taught me is I need an ISTP to put together my furniture while I dissociate. Sounds perfect! 🤣

[@Yetipigen]

Im an INFJ… and I LOVE building IKEA items (alone of cause). Nothing like sorting all the bits and pieces into groups. Also love to go to IKEA (also alone of cause. Perfect place for observing behavior. When I get home I sleep for hours.

[@erikavaleries]

Frank, your videos cheer me up perfectly on Fridays! TY I would totally construct a complicated wardrobe for you!!

[@louisejoel]

Funny because I've noticed how complicated Frank's wardrobe is

[@hosanna3803]

I'm an INTJ. Normally I'll get something with the expectation of being able to get it put together right away - but it will sit in a box until I actually have the time to put it together (or the energy). Once started, I can usually get the things assembled pretty easily.

[@cecelialandries541]

As an ISFJ, yes. Please let me hide in my box until I learn to tell people no and put myself first. 😹

[@theliterarytarot]

You are my favorite entertainment now I know why I spent most of COVID obsessing over MBTI

[@nana-pi9hi]

You know it's the good part of the week when FJ releases 16 personalities comedy sketches. BTW, you joke about the INTJ, but assembling furniture causes me existential crises for real. That inner emptiness and dissatisfaction I feel every single time, ahhh.

[@hourlymichi2594]

i love the infj-istp duo!! 😭 haha i relate to this a lot, happened to me w my brother.

[@kindofanmol]

0:54 I'm an ENTJ but I'd like to assemble my IKEA furniture myself. Mostly cuz I fear that someone else might not pull it off the way I want to lol.

[@JangMun00]

INFP here and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IKEA AND BUILDING THE FURNITURE BY MYSELF (not bc i'm single, haha, but because I want to enjoy it alone✨️)

[@juste710]

putting together IKEA furniture is like putting together a puzzle really fun - ISTP

[@natasagajic1061]

This INFP heartily agrees! 😁

[@erikavaleries]

ENFP yes indeed

[@MelanieFromCanada]

INTJ was sooo good! Also, really diggin the name tags :D

[@madamecurious]

Hahaha 😂 you made my miserable day today a whole lot better … tack själv (thank you) 💙

[@stevester9148]

I'm an ISTJ who is convinced the instructions are written by some NFP type because I cannot for the life of me decipher them.

[@kosmogyeom15]

0:39 teamwork makes the dreamwork😭

[@elphieofkiamoko]

I'm an INFJ and bro, IKEA is my happy place 🤣 It's my world of pure imagination, okay? I get to play in all the showrooms, live a hundred make-believe lives, and then stock up on fake plants and cozy blankies for my nest (aka: my bed 🤣)! And I really enjoy putting the furniture together, too--the sense of accomplishment I get when I finish a piece of furniture is *so* emotionally fulfilling. But ENFP's "Larry Wrench" monologue was amazing, I'm in love.

[@erikavaleries]

Do other ENFPs love to build IKEA stuff? I ❤️ it & Swedish meatballs. Remember when people filmed a soap opera in an Ikea? And someone changed all the arrows in the floor plan? I should move to Sweden.

[@bloom4096]

I don’t, but my teenage ENFP son loves it and does it with so much ease. While following instructions! 🤯 He also loves puzzles and complicated LEGO projects. -ENFP

[@amirahaliden7672]

Love your videos Frank! been supporting you since day 1

[@staffan-]

Well, Järvfjället is a pretty badass name. It means wolverine mountain! As a Swede, this is hilarious to watch. Ikea was founded as part of Sweden's secret plan to make the world suffer.

[@erikavaleries]

WHOA 🤣 Where do they think of this stuff 😂

[@erikavaleries]

I HAVE THAT CHAIR 🤣 It's kind of uncomfortable but looks expensive and ergonomic.

[@chilibillybean4233]

INTP here. I quite enjoy building furniture and when I had put furniture together with my ISFP mom I kept fixing where her mistakes were.
