[@LunaOscura666]

As an INTP who lives with an INFP, I can agree with the passive thing. We can't stand being with other people too much (I've less patience I must admit), but we can be together for hours without problem and doing our own thing. It's fantastic.

[@delll372]

omg so true! experiencing this for the first time in my life, with my INFP partner (I'm INTP). we talk for 3+ hours everyday, and not dead, infact we feel better. bamboozling!

[@LeeLeeBellePBJLee]

INFP dating an INTP here and YAY! We communicate similarly and we can talk for hours or sit in silence doing our own stuff, it's great. People underestimate how similar Ti and Fi really are, still distinctly different but actually rather similar. For us it probably also helps that I'm an enneagram tritype 952 and he's 593, so our 2 top types are the same but reversed. I am often told I'm a very logical thinker (despite INFP's being considered anything but logical), I've even been told that I'm one of the most logical women some people have ever known 😂. My ENTJ boss both loves and hates when I explain why I'm doing something differently than expected and I break it down super logically. He'll just stop and be like "your logic is terrifyingly accurate" then walk off. But as for INTP's AND INFP's, sharing our 2 middle functions helps as well and I think we use them similarly. It comes out a lot in our senses of humor 😉.

[@Multitudes_]

@@LeeLeeBellePBJLee Agreed! Makes me sad when I see INTPs build up walls between their type and ours based on assumptions about Fi - because we're really so often kindred spirits! Fi is not the enemy of Ti.

INTP with an ENTJ bf here. I know that experience. It drives me nuts! I just want him to back up and sit down or something. He's always trying to direct everyone and everything. If he's outside when the trash trucks collect the trash, he'll start instructing them on how to handle our bins. Why? What are you even doing? It's like he thinks the world will stop turning if he's not manually spinning it. I just want to take the time to figure things out because that may lead to me finding a pattern that will not only solve the immediate issue at hand, but will also resolve all future related problems as well as informing me on other peripheral issues. I just need to experiment in solitude.

[@swxqt6826]

He’s not trying to take everything out of your hands, he just wants to help you be more efficient. As an INTJ, I think the best way to do it is to just give him a copy, and let him solve it for himself, while you’re trying to do it yourself. He’ll then give you the solution once he’s done and let you read off of it when you need to. That way, he isn’t forced into pure OCD suffering, while you get to mind your own business.

The fact that he teaches us about the personality types while being humorous, creative and at the same time explaining it properly so that we understand is amazing. Nice video. This 👑 for u

MBTI is the subject that you'll find Frank. His explanations give the knowledge that actually helps you understand the subject. And humor is what makes Frank stand out from others that always keeps you wanting to hear more without getting worn out from all the explanations and details day after day. Frank James knew exactly what he was doing, even if it was his subconscious telling him to do so.

INFP dating an INTP here and the two types are much more similar than we get credit for. Ti and Fi (when healthy) are very similar, especially when balanced by healthy Fe and Te, respectively. I find my INTP bf very easy to be around, we communicate similarly and usually arrive at similar conclusions. We don't feel the need to push each other in anything, that's nice... and having NeSi in common helps a lot... I think that's where our senses of humor come out a lot, haha. He likes that he never has to explain his jokes to me (most people's eyes just glaze over and don't get his jokes). Maybe it helps that my values are usually based in some kind of logic that, if people will shut up long enough for me to talk, I can explain. 🤷‍♀️

Wow! That is so nice. I am an INFP and I have an INTP bestfriend, we get each other like no other.

[@carissahill3414]

The issue with "if people will shut up long enough for me to talk" might be that A LOT of people are AFRAID of silence.

[@carissahill3414]

I guess what I mean to say is sometimes I will just take a deep breath as if I am going to say something and gauge whether they are able to listen before even speaking. If not, I don't waste my energy with my voice. ...But it fills the silence that they might be afraid of that keeps them chattering.

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

A lot of discussions in my FJ-TJ household revolve around efficiency, so the TJ can get more work done, and so the FJ can spend more time with happy things. Also about what the end-result of all that work is supposed to be, some kind of happiness supposedly, something coherent, something valueable, or is the pleasure of getting it done itself the reward?

I’m an infj and one of my close friends who I relate to a lot is an infp. Unlike what is described and occurs in more casual situations, we enjoy having deep conversations with each other. The main difference however is I will open up to pretty much anyone but still feeling misunderstood while she just doesn’t open up to people. I guess as we got to know each other better (we were at a sleep away camp) we both realized that we wanted to open up differently. We first seriously opened up to each other 3 nights before the last day of camp, and I think it was then that we both realized we needed someone to talk to who understood us, and that was why we connected in the way that we have. We don’t live close to each other but we talk at least once a week and if either of us is having a problem or a hard day we know we can always talk to each other if we need. I am so great full to have her as a friend

This was really fun to watch as I imagined my interaction with certain people in my life whom I know their MBTI. And from them is my INFP bestie. I'm an INFJ and when we both interact we have the deepest conversations ever, whether it's about real life matters or theoritical things we understand each other very well and would keep fascinating each other with our knowledge. Until now though, conflict has never happened with us at all during our friendship, even though we have been friends for 2 years. And the thing is, they almost happened a few times before, but I just hid my true thoughts from her not wanting to risk any conflicts or awkwardness. I actually have never tried to forcedly shove my values upon someone's throat before, but tried to understand them and kind of blend in with them like a chameleon. I gave her the full room to express herself and her thoughts while I acted like my own "opinion" didn't exist. I was too afraid of "Agreeing to disagree" or brushing things off because I thought it would harm our friendship in a way, I didn't want to risk anything as I was afraid of losing her. It all led me to act like someone I was not at times. And while it did make her comfortable it wasn't the same for me, I wasn't very happy about having to hide certain sides of me from her especially that I consider her a best friend. I opressed my own emotions to not cause conflict, which is wrong. Disclosure and honesty are the key to a friendship and a little bit of conflict or argument is necessary to help it grow and make us understand each other better, and I will try to understand that.

as an infp, my best friend in the whole world is an entp and i really value our friendship. i don't know if it's because our values mostly match or anything but we get along wayy too well almost like we can read each other's thoughts. i personally love (healthy) entps because talking with them is always inspiring, mentally challenging and fun. i guess it depends on the type of fp you're dealing with also, if they're really sensitive about their values not matching with others it could be challenging but if not i bet they would enjoy the deep conversations.

Free idea: How does MBTI typing interact with personality disorders? 🧐

[@daedricdragon5976]

I'd say it's about what's more likely, aka, probabilities. Like ExTx are more likely to be narcissistic, Intuitives might be more likely to suffer from schizoid, schizophrenia, IxTx (as well as ExTx) might be more prone to antisocial behaviour (antisocial personality disorder), xxxJ types could be in higher risk of OCPD, etc.

But when someone gives me the help I don't want their help because I think I can solve it by myself, even if their form of solve the problem is more effective than mine I would never let them do the work for me.

We complement each other when we try to reach a conclusion, because i share many ideas that she orders and integrates with hers, but normally we are incompatible at all other work because my thoughts and ideas are disordered while theirs are focused, so our ways of working are very different. pd: aside from that, she says I'm a 12 years old, smart and dumbass, and i say that she is as if the devil was, deep down inside, a good person lol.

As an ISTP, I just wanted to add to the xTxP/xFxP interaction a bit, from my experience. I think this applies more to xNFP's than xSFP's, because at least xSFP's share Se with me(so we can connect with that), but I've found FP's to be extremely confusing and frustrating, at times. I think the main issue is that a lot of their decision-making doesn't make sense, to me. They won't do certain things or won't listen, and when I try to understand why, they can't give me an answer. Most of the time, I let it go, but with Fi friends of mine, I've pried a bit to understand their reasoning and it always just boils down to, "no, I'm not going there." I'll ask "why," and it's just "because, I'm not." It's insanely frustrating, because there's no logical reason (hence, Fi), for their conclusion and no amount of logic can convince them otherwise; it's like talking to a brick wall. No shade to xFxP's, btw. It's just a difference in how we function. Just wanted to shed a bit of light on Fi from a Ti perspective. Edit: Just to add, I'd be totally cool with accepting that their reasoning/conclusion differs from mine, but they can't explain why they've come to the conclusion that they have. I can't follow any line of reasoning, because it's value driven. It's just so foreign to me.

I’m not sure if this explanation will be sufficient, but when an xNFP values something, things that don’t align with those values just won’t be seen as worth doing. I’m an INFP who simply wants to live a life that’s meaningful and that allows me to reach my creative potential. Being a bohemian-type is also central to my identity, and I don’t want to become the thing I dislike. If you force me to, say, become a stock broker-even if it allows me to eventually find the time to be independently creative-it would directly clash with my sense of identity while also distracting me from what I would rather be doing. I would hate myself for becoming part of the corporate world I resent, and I would feel like I’m WASTING time by pursuing money, since it means less time sitting alone with a pile of philosophy books or at a piano. To me, ENJOYING my time absorbing art is more meaningful than money or work or social status or figuring things out…even if the other route makes more sense. To others, what I like to do looks like a big waste of time; to me, doing what I don’t enjoy is a big waste of time. That’s not to say my way is superior at all (if anything, it sucks eggs)-it’s just how my brain works. Hope this helps!

INFJ here, and agree with TJ being our opposite and bomb... They prioritize getting things done, and that is all that matters and I am annoyed by that; it feels robot-like; not to mention them getting smug about their way and trying to actively or passively control everything and solve, fix things for you. There is no space for chilling, not even taking time to solve things, or go in-depth and analyze different sides - it needs to be done as quickly as possible to be checked of the list and move to the next thing. I feel pressured and forced and rushed and I HATE IT. I need time to think things through and NOT OUT LOUD, and get them done the right way, not the rushed way. I do not care about time efficiency. It annoys me. We can discuss who does what I am all fine with that but breathing down my neck, checking in, bouncing off their ideas is just a waste of time. As for FPs, and TPs, I get them needing to work alone but I do not like how us trying to harmonize oftentimes is demonized. I respect you guys doing stuff on your own and honestly, being introverted I prefer that too. But the big picture is missed out a lot - if it is a group project and everyone does their own without prior debate as to who takes what, how will that work? There is a bit of irony in that as they want to do their own thing not wanting to share and wanting to be left alone but then complain how people do not understand - how can I understand if you do not tell me? I am respecting doing things in individual ways but when that is not taken to the extreme where it becomes contra-productive and the goal gets lost. Harmony does not necessarily need to be we all work as one, just that we make a plan who tackles which aspect; even in friendships, we are portrayed as wanting to "harmonize" but the number of times FPs and TPs would have taken their eyes out or pulled each other's hairs because of clash of personal values is ridiculous. And if we do that like sometimes they do it, just stuck in our own feelings and care for ourselves and what is aligned whatnot, then how can society in general work? Balance is key.

[@captainjacksparrow2152]

Hi! ISTP here with an INFP sister (and an INFP friend). Maybe perhaps we both lead with introverted judging functions, there really isn't much clash between the two types. We (both ISTPs and INFPs) don't like to impose things (like our values or logical reasonings) onto other people and onto each other, which is much appreciated by both parties. I say, we get along well. But! There are times that I would get super drained with my sister's Ne ideas because it's my blind function, and I end up coming off as cold and uninterested in her ideas and stories esp when the conversation gets too long. On the flip side, I think she gets drained when I drag her with me when I want to tap into my Se through always going out the house and experiencing things. Because yeah, Se is her blind function. In the end, it's just a matter of give and take. I give in to her Ne talks and she gives in to my Se adventures. Though we have contrasting functions, we share a lot of common ground with our interests. When I find myself in a grip, she reassures me of my individuality and really makes me feel a lot better. When she gets into a grip, I remind her of the logical context behind her situation and she realizes that what she feels isn't necessarily the truth of the situation. In the end, I think we complement each other well. She's the closest person to me and basically the only person I actually open up to. :)

"The FP types will get along best with the TJs in their interactions because of their shared thinking and feeling functions." - This is such a common and, I think, wrongheaded assumption based purely on theorizing. In reality, as an INFP, Te-doms (especially unhealthy ones) are the people I am most likely to clash with, and I think this is true for many Fi-doms. The opposite function order makes a massive difference in how we operate, and there can be a sense of each having their priorities in life backwards. Te-doms are also the most likely to bulldoze through people's feelings and individuality, or have an aggressive/forceful manner that may be offensive or repulsive to gentle people (and I know we can be frustrating to them in some ways too). That said, I've gotten along decently with some healthy Te-doms in academic and professional contexts - and people like IXTJs who have more of a Te/Fi balance are often easier to get along with. I suppose things would be easiest for the EPs and the IJs, though even there, ISTJs and ENFPs can clash due to their strong Si/Ne preferences. The FP-FJ assessment is pretty accurate for me. There can definitely be some common ground and shared values between the two, but similar to TJs, some FJs can lack the level of acceptance of people's individuality that I desire from and give to people (while I can lack some of the adherence to shared values and norms they might like). There is a general difference in our independent vs. communal approaches to life. Fi-doms are very self-guided and often don't want the advice or guidance that high Fe users want to provide. A lot of Fi-doms also prefer to process their feelings independently and don't share them as openly as Fe-doms, which can sometimes be frustrating for the latter. Contrary to stereotypes, I've often played the 'counselor' role for Fe-doms in my life because they want to talk about their feelings and problems, while I don't really want to talk about mine and would rather listen to theirs. I also like providing the validation that many high Fe users seek. TPs can be easy or hard for me to interact with depending on whether they have Ne or Se. Se is my worst function, and I usually have little in common with high Se users. But Ne can be a major source of common ground, and INTPs are actually the type I get along with most easily, aside from fellow NFPs. The shared introversion, independence, and individuality plus shared Ne makes it easy to get along and have fun playing around together in the world of ideas. Also, I personally value and don't have trouble with logic, so Ti is not a problem for me. At times, I have felt the need to remind some Ti-doms, especially younger ones, to be considerate toward people's feelings and help impart a bit of emotional intelligence upon them, but I've rarely been personally offended by them because I get where they're coming from and they're rarely aggressive in the manner of (some) Te-doms. Types that are less heavy on judging functions, like Ni-doms, can be more of a toss-up - and the perceiving functions themselves affect things too - but this post is long enough as it is. (And yeah, I realize I'm just a rando who's not representative of all INFPs - just felt like sharing my experiences/observations.)

[@messinalyle4030]

Strongly agree with the first paragraph. I never have understood why people talk about INFPs and ENTJs or God forbid, ESTJs as a good match. As an INFP, I don't have much patience with people who don't boundary well or respect my individual needs. Of course I'm sure that my gut level reaction to this idea of INFPs being a good match with our opposite types is based on my experience with the most unhealthy ENTJs and ESTJs that I have encountered in my life--and, I guess, just people who are pushy in general and want to enforce conformity. I probably have healthier ENTJ and ESTJ friends with whom I get along okay and don't even know it. I wonder if the whole "opposites attract" theory is just less true for strong Fi users in general?

While there are exceptions, for the most part, people are drawn to those they share similarities and common ground with, i.e., things they can actually connect and bond over. Differences can be intriguing or exciting sometimes, but they're not the glue that holds a relationship together. But the "people with the same functions in opposite order are compatible with each other" idea is based on the assumption that such types are more similar to each other than they actually are. Unless both people are very balanced across those functions, they're usually extremely different.

[@messinalyle4030]

@@Multitudes_ Yeah, that lines up with my lived experience. At least in regards to people who are the opposite of me, a Fi dom.

[@gel2234]

I completely agree with everything here esp about the TJs and FPs since I have an ISTJ and ISFP friend and they arent exactly compatible with each other. Although regarding to what frank said Im pretty sure he based the interactions if the Types were healthier. So they could understand where each other was coming from, either from a logical point of view or through feeling (from both sides, not just one type) Since my ISTJ friend can also work fairly well with my ENFP friend although they have the opposite order function stack :) but aside from that, Ive definitley seen other TJ and FP types clashing with each other! Which is why I still agree with that

[@aprilhelm518]

I don't generally feel like I get along well with Fi types the best (as an ISTJ), and I get that kind of reaction from them, like they feel that Te is aggressive. Likewise, I feel it can be difficult to reason with them and have them understand or appreciate my side of things. But at the same time I think there's a certain amount of understanding I have with Fi that I don't have with Ti/Fe types. And personally, I think my biggest/worst disagreements are with Fe types. But I also imagine this is relative. Sometimes with Ti people, I have similar problems. So I think it's... situational and individual, personally. Definitely I tend to feel it's the similarities that attract... and differences can be barriers to understanding in a friendship or any type of relationship that people, if they want to keep that connection, maybe have... figure out.

[@marjoriew5989]

Random question that might be fun to answer: Which letter makes a personality type the most different. For example which are the most alike and most different out of INFP-ENFP INFP-ISFP INFP-INTP INFP-INFJ I have a sneaking suspicion (f & t?) but I would like to know your opinion!

[@Multitudes_]

I think it's generally assumed to be J/P since adjacent J/P types are ascribed completely different functions - though in practice, they can often have a lot in common. Meanwhile, the I/E versions have all the same functions and so should be the most similar in theory. Otherwise, I think it may depend on the individual and the strength of their preferences... For me, I was on the fence between INFP and INTP for years because I'm kind of 50/50 thinking/feeling and use both Fi and Ti a lot. But I've seen others on the fence about every one of these pairings.

[@nasrinnski]

definitely all the J/P types. I/E still holds the same function w different position, N/S and T/F have two different functions in 4 stacks (and 4 in 8 stacks). J/P have entirely different function and position

[@popmashups6568]

I read somewhere that the ones with different middle two letters are their respective most opposite type (different Xe/Xi functions in total opposite order). INFP most opposite type would be ISTP. I think the Extraversion/Introversion dicotomy is the least sustancial difference between types (although it's usually the easiest to point out). INFP's more similar type (cognitively) would be ENFP. If we go by how the types behave, I think P/J are the most difficult to just guess at first sight. INFPs for example are commonly mistype as INFJs because they act very similar in social contexts (yet they don't share one single function). Also the one with the four opposite letters seems the most different (same Xe/Xi functions in opposite order). An INFP may seem totally different compared to an ESTJ but they're only "half way different" from a strict cognitive functions point of view and can actually face each other closely as they develop.

[@randomfornow]

INFP and INTP are clearly most different, like you said. But INFP and INFJ are also pretty different. Really, like everyone else here, I think the J and P make the most difference cuz my parents are INFP and INTP, and while there is a huge divide between their feeling and thinking functions, they still have a certain similar vibe overall that I, as an INFJ doesn't have in the slightest. INFP and ENFP run along the same emotional track, and INFP and ISFP's are both kind of quiet and artistic. I love this question btw, it IS fun to answer

[@nasrinnski]

@@randomfornow nah not really lmao. INTP and INFP shared 2 functions, Ne and Si. The same can also be applied to N/S difference, as INTP and ISTP both have Ti-Fe as their dominant-inferior function, while INFP and ISFP have Fi-Te. J/P however have entirely different functions, so INTP and INTJ going to be a lot different from each other

[@katarinastanic4315]

I am ISTP-A and get along great with turbulent INFP-T . Actually she says that I am the only person that understands her, listens to her and is not trying to prove her wrong (I think the main philosophy of the ISTP personality is: live and let the others people live). We definitely have very different approach to life and what motivates us are completely different things but neither of us is trying to convince the other one - my way is the right way. I just understand her and accept her as she is. And I see and feel how unique and caring, fragile and beautiful her soul is. She is my favourite cousin. 😊And I am opposite of fragile, wild and always humouristic. I think our opposites bring us together strongly. -female ISTP😎

this is one of your best videos hands down.

[@brittanyholman2720]

I love your stuff!!! Not that I'm a scientist. But your character you play is warm, WHOLESOME, unimposing, funny, confident, and seems like a super great character! Stay cool and attractive Frank! ✌️

[@Mindywright27]

I really appreciate the way you set us up for commercials. It somehow makes them less jarring and more tolerable. So, bravo buddy! 👏 Also, (probably should have led with this) your content is so good! Thank you 🙏

As a INTP, I don’t have many TJ or TP friends… couldn’t guess why… I communicate with many humans! I think one of my friends is a ExTJ and we are normally fine with eachover but sometimes we do get mad at eachover and when she does around 1h later we are talking again. FJ types generally annoy me. My mother is a ESFJ and we don’t get along 99% of the time. I do seem get along with INFJ types tho they seem to get me and understand me well. Most of my friends are FP types and we share common interests and we rarely argue. I have however had a debate with a TJ and FP type about a controversial topic. They both argued the same point they felt strongly about so I played devils advocate and went against them… they did not like that!
