FJ,What's your enneagram type?

[@ravinmarokef]

I think openness to experience also correlates with J/P. So NPs are the most open while SJs are the least. Maybe a similar thing for agreableness but to a lesser extent (ie. FPs slightly more agreeable than FJs)

How did you change your thoughts? I'm an INFJ-T and still struggling, though I've tried my best to get away from it as I want to be a positive person :(

[@devonreviegarrisongordon2586]

@@cantid8509 well in my experience, the our inferior cognitive function, extroverted sensing, is a big factor. It's responseble for getting out of your head, seeing the world for what it is and accepting it instead of trying to find patterns and making sense of it ( search Ni-Ti loop to understand more) What help me is to develop the extroverted sensing function by being a bit more materialistic and superficial in the way you dress and how you veiw your attraction to people.( BTW we're naturally intuitive and we like to feel people emotional state. By being more materialistic and superficial, you will see overtime that you won't be over thinking as much as you won't be overstimulated all the time during non introverted events. Essentially you will find a balance overtime.

I think that an INFJ can become any of both types A or T; depending on the environment and how life is embracing to an INFJ. As the INFJ evolves in his or her life things can go from an assertive to turbulent or vise versa

[@Paasy]

From my experience that is somewhat true. When my life went uphill and the worries i once had mattered less, i've gotten way more assertive. I just did what the fuck i wanted to develope myself. I felt like the chains that once held me down were gone. Now that life has hit back, i start to worry a lot more again and do less of the stuff i am supposed to do. Maybe the sub-categories are bound to mental health, but this observation i can only make with myself in mind. Back then i had a goal and nothing could stop me, now im stumbling through life and wondering where i'll end up.

[@maxime1776]

I was a fan of MBTI a couple of years ago and I was really into it. I was INFJ-T back then, but I wanted to do the test again today and I was sure I wasn’t going to get INFJ because my mental health has been 300% better. I got INFJ-A. 🎉

[@freshstrt3140]

What did you do to improve your mental health?

[@maxime1776]

You want to know the secret? Glad you asked! I could share you my whole story but I think a list of key items would be preferable. Here goes: - A good mental health starts with good habits. Keep this mindset in mind. - First thing in the morning I do my bed - that’s one thing I never did before and doing it gives you that first success of the day. - Of course, a good night of sleep is necessary. I’m sure you already know that. - I then do my whole morning routine - nothing out of the ordinary (I can share it with you if you ask) - Here, I’m sure going about your day is the hardest part - or I don’t know; I don’t know you - but one thing that really helped me is having a “Third Place”. It’s a sociological concept - it’s about having a third place where you hangout with friends or basically anybody. The first place being your home, the second your workplace/school. I don’t know your age, but for me my third place is the board game club at my college. I really enjoy it there and just yesterday we all went out together, it was lots of fun. - One thing that reeeeaaaaally helped me was meditating. I don’t know if you heard this advice a lot - it may also sound goofy at first because meditation is for Buddhist monks am I right? Well, turns out it’s helpful for everyone. One of my biggest struggles was anxiety and meditation really helps you with that. I recommend you the free app called Medito if you want to start. - Next, I haaave to recommend you this book called “Lost Connections” by Johann Hari. I read it in my sociology classes and I wish I had read it before! Just read it bro, trust me 😝 - it’s also an easy read, written in an easy to understand tone; not formal at all -. - Ok, next thing that really helped me is finding what you’re passionate about an pursuing it. For exemple, learning guitar, practicing a new language, watching movies from a cinephile perspective and actually trying to explain the movies is a heck of a fun thing to do too. Also listening to new artists (I discovered The Beatles back then, that was one heck of a ride I loved it!) - Also, reading before bed is super fun too, I’m reading Don Quixote right now and I love talking about it. - Next tip is one of the most important. I don’t know if you struggle right now because all this seems like a lot. The thing that helped me the most was doing this journey with my friend who was also struggling a lot back then too. We would write to each other when we completed our morning routine, for example. That’s one small thing but knowing you are not alone in this changes everything. I think that’s all I have to say. I will keep thinking about it, maybe I will find other advice. Do not hesitate to ask me questions. I’m happy to help :).

You made me realise that I can never be fully certain of my INFJ-ness, so it is better to not be a self-proclaimed one (not that I would scream it from the rooftops). I think there is also the danger of establishing one's identity too much on the 'INFJ' result - because we like the results we may try to live up to its stereotypes (and accordingly exhaust ourselves if we are in fact mistyped).

What I appreciate about your way of explaining information, as an INFJ myself, is how in-depth you go and how you show that everything isn't simple and clearcut and can be digested down to "stereotypes" and these stereotypes taken as the only truth and fact and that you can make decisions based on these incomplete facts alone. You show that everything is multidimensional, has layers, is sophisticated! And that's what I, as an Ni user, always saw things to be like - sophisticated. It's not simple, although it seems like simple things to me because I'm wired to view things in this way, which other people just don't do, which has always prompted some challenge when talking about topics to other people (like needing to go into very lengthy explanations that might have varying success, or simplify and compromise this sophistication, which might or might not amount to better understanding from the other person based on how skilled you are to pick the right things to focus on / present this consise version of the information to them), and why I always appreciate when information is presented multi-dimensionally, because it more easily furthers my understanding of the things being talked about (because I just love understanding how things operate) This all just boils down to me saying, thank you for creating and formatting your content exactly as you do!

[@xkenny-personalitydatabase5604]

NPR says "And while personality traits are relatively stable over time, they can and often do gradually change across the life span. What's more, those changes are usually for the better. Many studies, including some of my own, show that most adults become more agreeable, conscientious and emotionally resilient as they age. But these changes tend to unfold across years or decades, rather than days or weeks. Sudden, dramatic changes in personality are rare."

[@Kanuea]

I think so. I'm 28 now and I believe I've moved to become much more in the middle between T and A than I used to be in my early twenties. I think the change has come especially with a growth in confidence spurred on by having people around me that believe in me and encourage me to be confident.

[@Laurkiller]

Ofcourse you can, confidence can always be changed and that's what turbulent and assertive boils down to. A really confident person isn't gonna ruminate around every little detail.

[@ranaelizdenis6507]

@@xkenny-personalitydatabase5604 Makes sense. It's a work in progress. I do believe though I have changed for the better over a 2-3 year span of just consistently working on my anxiety, confidence and boundaries (boundaries being a big one). I still need to improve in areas of course. I'd have to say though what I have learnt about myself (turning a somewhat negative into a positive) as a turbulent INFJ I always want to do better/find a better way and I never settle for mediocre. A lot of people envy that even though it can SUCK at times.

[@matthewmcree1992]

INFJ with ADHD here lol. I always have people ask "Did you remember to do ____?", and the answer is usually "No, I got distracted reading ___ and forgot. Sorry." I also get caught deep in thought constantly to the point where I don't notice basic details that seem mundane to me, but are important to others (like following specific regulations or unwritten/unspoken work rules) and get yelled at. Being "twice exceptional" (aka "cognitively gifted" but with a learning disability) is complicated. Due to a high IQ, I was able to do great in school even as I lost or forgot homework constantly and got distracted, and even though my official IQ test results showed what should have been a mega red flag for a learning disability, I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until age 18. Being so absent-minded and so obsessed with abstract concepts and theories and data analyses, I am insanely unorganized and messy, although I'm not dirty. Also, people are always confused by how I know and can understand and explain so many theories and facts and figures, yet fail so miserably at basic things that regular people find totally easy like remembering to close the refrigerator at work. INFJ's already suck at noticing basic details about our surroundings due to our interior Se function, but add ADHD to that and life becomes a clusterfuck of tardiness, disorganization, distraction, and procrastination. Hence why I graduated from a phenomenal and prestigious college and yet work as a barista as a 27 year old. Anyone else relate?

When I first took the 16 Personalities Test I came out as ENFJ. Then, after a lot of research on cognitive functions and talking with others, I realized I'm actually an ISFJ. Very different, but it feels like it really fits! You really have to take these tests with a grain of salt.

[@nellybaez978]

Angela M I took the 16 personalities test and then I decided to retake it and I got the same answer. But I wasn’t quite sure if what I got was legit, so, I decided to take another test on a different but reliable website and I got the same and I started to understand that I’m really am an INFJ and I’m still young, I’m only 16 and it can change but I can’t ever see me actually changing. I do agree 16 personalities could be wrong but it wasn’t wrong about me.

Thanks for such an interesting video! I didn’t know what the A or T meant...I am definitely a T. I first took an official MBTI test when I was 18 during a university psychology class and was an ISFJ. Almost two decades later, I was working in Human Resources and we loved MBTI! Our team took an official MBTI test and I also received an ISFJ result. The great thing about this second test was it showed where you were on the spectrum of each letter. I feel that I have less introversion now than when I was 18 but am definitely still an “I”. I remember two of my colleagues had the same four letters and we were dumbfounded because they were so different. When we looked at their spectrums, it all made sense. For instance, one was super introversion and the other was almost to the boarder of introversion/extroversion. It was so really neat to see.

When you talked about the different personnality tests (especially MBTI ones or 16personnalities), it really made me think about how many people have false results (and I'm not saying they are doing it on purpose). That's why I feel that it's important to read more about the personnality types, and really understand what they stand for, to know if what you got from one test is accurate or not :)

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

These tests are bullshit IMO. There is no/very limited scientific backing for them and some kinds of people (mainly Autistic people such as myself) don't fit into the mold of these tests as they are designed by NTs for NTs. What's even worse is employers are using these tests for hiring now and thanks to them Autistic people have a 80% unemployment rate...

[@donkeykunk9526]

I am INFJ-T according to 16 personalities. It fits pretty well as I worry about basically everything and everyone, except myself most of the time. Luckily I have finally managed to just focus on myself and it has helped me be less negative as I do things I want to do rather than do what my friends would have done. All and all you can't control what others will think or feel you can only control what you think or feel yourself and control how you present yourself to others. Wow that sounds like something you would read on the back of some cereal, but it is true in a way. hahah

[@noturcinderella]

This last part is so freaking true. You are self blind and more likely to pay attention to your weaknesses and the times you overcame them because those are points where you feel extreme pride in yourself. I thought I was mistyped for a very long time. I didn't believe that I was an INFJ. In my mind, I am a very logical person. I am organized and I am capable of immediate response in stressful situations. I see myself as forceful, pushing constantly for efficiency. In reality, those are bullshit lies I told myself. When I think of those descriptors I can recall certain instances where I reacted in ways that I felt really good about. They were times where I performed outside of my norm, almost super human... for me, anyway. In order to type myself accurately, I felt that it required not just self reporting.. but also the input of friends and family. In the end, I paid someone to type me as well. Despite my self reporting giving me INTJ, consistently those around me were identifying me as INFJ. I haaaated it. There is nothing I hate more than being told I am a big feeler baby. I have never met another INFJ that I feel/felt "gets me" and the stereotypes of INFJ are ridiculous. Not only that, but in the groups that I participate in... INFJ are wildly unpopular at the moment. I hate that I might be dissuaded from the truth by group mind, but that probably had a lot to do with my rejection of the truth. I would literally rather be any other type. Probably ENFP, they seem fun. Or maybe an ENTJ because who wouldnt want that? But I think also, thats how I knew it was true... because I didn't like it. I think a lot of us spend a lot of time lying to ourselves or trying to pretend we are something we are not. It is probably a defense mechanism of the ego. Self preservation. Idk. These days, I recommend strongly that people ask those around them for their opinions about their type if they want accuracy. "But nobody can see me like I can see me," is what they typically say... which is what I also said in those situations. And I just tell them the same thing... that is called denial and self-delusion. Your brain lies to you.

I don't wanna listen to anyone's thoughts and I don't wanna be with anyone, I only have my girlfriend and she gets me sometimes it's hard to communicate but I try my hardest so she could understand. In school I couldn't go with the "friends" I had I couldn't do anything with me all I wanted to do is just to stay in the class and listen to music, I didn't wanna be asked too many questions and I never wanted to have friends cause I always felt uncomfortable being around them or around anyone else. If you ever think it's cool being or having this kind of personality you are wrong it sucks.

I agree that when taking a test that involves evaluating yourself, the result can end up not being accurate.

Apart from that, great video!

I’m the INFJ-A … I’m pretty amazed at this test how it reveals so much about a person. In my job I had to have the confidence to make changes when conditions were arose so I needed to be level headed and able to think outside the box…I wrote contracts and sometimes while managing them big decisions needed to be made usually as a result of acts of God or other type changes/ conditions. In my line of work I needed to be extremely organized so my personality type fit perfectly for this type work and it was an ISTJ who said I’d be good at that type work and he was right…but I can’t be micromanaged and I recently retired because of a micro manager who would not let me do my job and after 20+ years of doing what I did, for an income, I didn’t need a baby sitter.

[@CreateNColour]

Strangely, I took the 16 personalities test 6 years ago and got ENFP-T, did it again this year and got INFP-A. Both times, the T and the A were at 68%. But I think I’m actually INFJ, because I’ve watched a bunch of your INFP videos and didn’t feel a connection at all, too much emotion, too sensitive, not me… then I checked out the INFJ because the P was only at 51% and suddenly everything made sense, you were describing the way I make decisions and experience conversations, bad listener who seems like a good listener, and seeking the external value placed on things, the opinions of others, and don’t feel emotions too deeply but can shift and change and adapt… a chameleon, that’s exactly me! So that test is certainly not always 100% accurate, but it helped narrow things down quite a bit. My partner thinks his result was perfect, though, so it works for some.

[@alllscination]

Thank you for breaking that down! I got INFP as a result in that test Big 5 based test but that doesn't make sense at all because I am very focused outward when it come to my feeling capacity so much so that I struggle to feel my own feelings but feel everything around me. If I don't externalise my feelings in some way like speaking with someone or consuming something that fits my current disposition like music, a book or a movie or at least talking to myself about how I am feeling then I often don't know where I'm at. It's rather irritating. Reading about extroverted feeling has been a real eye opener for me. And while I ike to think I'm open-minded or working towards it, I know, I always try to fit everything into my bigger picture understanding and am quite rigid about that which I take to mean my intuition is introverted. I watched that video where you explain that one can't be both INFP and INFJ, which I found very entertaining. Is there a thing about INFP and INFJ especially getting mixed up?
