[@eyalmeirbarnea8706]

fine , the INTJ mental age is not elderly , my large ego can afford that hit . But did you really have to put the ESFP above us ? I didn't lost my respect for you because you are the greatest MBTI comedy channel but it seems a bit unfair . I get that you wanted to illustrate why ESFP's are misunderstood , and i agree but i don't think this is the way to fix it . it's true that INTJ's think they know everything but it's because we are considering things very deeply and sacrifice our sensory tasks for the purpose of understanding things and gaining experience . you know very well that ESFP's are way more carefree and irresponsible (relatively to INTJ , but in general it's not allwase clear )

I'm a 40 year old, Christian INFP, and my strong impression is that most individuals just... well... 'don't know what to make' of me. At least, in casual or professional settings. I don't think INFP's respond to others in ways others (who are not INFP's) consider normal. You're right, we're in our own category.

[@XGalaxyPlqyZ]

As an INFP, I was pleasantly surprised and honored to be given that much consideration and having a category just for my type. Like yes, I do act like a child, but I feel much older on the inside. It's just that, I don't think anyone would believe me if I say I'm mature unless I act like it, and it's just hard. I was half expecting to be put in baby section but I'm so glad that someone actually acknowledged our (atleast mine) true mental age.

[@Cuteemogirl94]

That's because we don't open up to most people. They don't know what to say because we sound awkward if we are forced to do smalltalk but if someone would ask us straight up what our opinion on slavery, human traffiking, space, the deep sea, death and life etc. Are we would open up and start a deep conversation

As an INTP, I kinda feel like we appear like we age backward. We’re very mature for our age when we’re younger and then eventually there’s a crossover and we’re still perpetual children even as adults.

[@commenter3343]

IKRRR I literally said that to a friend of mine recently that i feel like i age backwardss

[@louisejoel]

That's because we've been here before 😆

[@InternetNonsense]

Exactly, the curiosity and social awkwardness doesn't really go away. We seem as well behaved mature kids for naturally good grades and not getting in trouble much. But the secret is that deep down we are perpetually immature, only showing that wacky side of us to selected few. When we grow up and academia success is not the most important marker for maturity anymore, we lag behind. We're not the ones to dive into relationships and families as everything must be thought and overthought to highest details. Making (at least semi) permanent decisions like partnership and housing the bane of us, because what if, what if, what if. May even translate into jobs "what if something better is around the corner, I don't want to be stuck here". Our indecisive need of always keeping one foot out can be bane of our commitment, which is usually maturity marker later on. Unless the stars align and we're fully passionate and engulfed in our commitments. I wish the life worth obsessing over to all my fellow INTPs 😆.

[@sehrishzarin2431]

as another intp i think i kind a disagree, we're always mid in everything, i have entj and intj as my siblings and their mental age was older when they were at my age, of course we get things done eventually by not even trying to, whether if its about understanding others intentions and living our own path, but we're always in the middle of "should i leave everything' and ' i need attention' zone, we're really like young adults that has both sides

My best friend is a very stereotypical INFP. She has a lot of childlike interests and often acts like a 13 year old (she's actually 19), but when someone hurts her feelings, her morals or her interests, she becomes the most mature and wisest person in the room. She's childish on the outside, maybe to cope with her problems, but is internally extremely mature.

I’m an Infp and that’s also how my father described me once, quite spot on. I’m also a Pisces so that might explain the wise characteristic

[@kittyscreativecorner]

As someone who is about as INFP as possible, this could not have been more accurate. I recently had to write a memoir of my adolescence for an education class focusing on the adolescent, and I basically came to the conclusion that I feel like I have simultaneously been an adult since I was 5, and yet am still very much a sensitive child in my 20s, and I am not entirely if I ever had an adolescence, or if I am just going to be perpetually stuck in adolescence because I feel like I am both an adult and a child at the same time.

As an INFP I can confirm.. I have been told, that I am an old soul living in a wrong century AND I have been told that im immature and I have to grow up. I was genuinely expecting Frank to divide INFPs into ancient and baby. Life would be easier for us it we could actually take some kind of benefit from both sides of maturity, it is more likely used against us. We are either too "boring" and not wanting to join in on other people´s fun activities, or acting childish and super silly and doing random goofy things, which makes people uncomfortable, why are we so silly when your not 10 anymore, and why are we so bored and uninterested, when we are not 70. It is sure a journey.

[@SugarandSarcasm]

Oh shoot. The relatability of this post made me laugh so hard. God, I just hate being like this. And I have been like this for ages, since birth maybe. Somehow I can't change it. I don't want to at times. But like what the hell! It's really disadvantageous. Doesn't it make INFPs less attractive in conventional terms? I feel that all the time. I hate it. Its sometimes like being bipolar. And you know what! you are not actually getting on the side of anyone by being like this but still you still innately remain like this. Not joining in when you could have benefitted from it because hey, it's too much and then doing really random stuff that no one can make a head or tail of.( I like doing the random stuff to be honest). Nowadays, it's like the whole world is having a party. And you want to have fun but there's a zip going on prompting you not go and to feel left out like an observer, never a participant.

As an INFP I think that our position being both the oldest and youngest really fits.

I don't know how or why but it really does feel just right to be both the youngest and the oldest in terms of mental age.

I once did a random what's your mental age test and got the result that my mental age was 18. Then I did the same test again and selected the least likely options for my least accurate mental age. And got 19. 😆 Analyzing the questions and my answers the results provided, I basically answered so completely opposite ends of the spectrum between 1-40 that the test got confused and threw me in the middle somewhere, and then I did the opposite, which still was so divided that I was thrown in the middle anyway. My actual age at the time was 17.

On one hand, I feel like a child; I can get extremely happy or upset about little things, and I believe I still haven't grown up. On the other hand, I'm more mature than my peers, as if I've reached the end of my life; I keep contemplating the ultimate purpose of life. In short, I found myself torn between two extremes. After watching the video, I couldn't believe it; my eyes welled up with tears. I'm astonished by how well you understand this - you explained the INFP personality perfectly. Thank you. ❤🎉

[@tired-chicken]

Amazing way to view INFP. I was ok being in my own category, but an ancient baby sounds nice too. I guess it’s because we shape our personality to match with the person we’re talking to, so it’s hard to see where we belong in terms of “mental age”.

My INTP boyfriend literally complimented me (I am an INFP) by saying when we first met he thought I was pretty but like super dumb. Just air headed now really here. So he had not much interest in me. Until I randomly started crying while talking to him with a smile on my face. He said it was creepy but now he was curious. No one just starts crying while talking with a smile plasterd. I ended up opening up to him about how basically traumtizing my life was at an early age & that I force myself to wake up everyday by living in a constant state of delusion. If I am constantly in a fanasty world I never have to be sad, but when I remember why I am forcing this upon myself I get sad & my mask breaks temporarily. He developed a crush on me after realizing I wasn't some dumb blonde with no substance. But instead I had a lot of depth to me & actually incredibly intelligent for my age. He liked that everyday he always learned something new about me. Even now I still surprise him with new things. I can keep him intellectually simulated plus make him actually emotional when he's normally an unemotional person I changed his perspective on something when he was sure he was right.

As an INFP, it's funny that with the basic common sense pertaining the practical aspect of life, I'm such a beginner navigating my way through it; but in the meantime, I also have the comprehension of "life" in a much larger sense since a young age. I remember in college, a friend told me that "you have a youthful spirit but also an old soul". I always like to compare life as a game, and I would say that, I have a pretty good understanding of the concept of the game, but pretty slow at actually playing the game. I'm very comfortable just staying out of everything and just observing human.

[@Ninjaflyingpinkducks]

I'm ISTJ here. I approve of where you put us on the age chart. I was "that child" in the sandbox. I married an INFP and I have yet to figure out if he acts older or younger than I do. One minute he is having more fun playing dinosaurs with a 4 year old than the child is, the next he looks like he is Gandalf carrying the weight of middle earth on his shoulders and has a zero fun attitude about him that can only be described as Carl from Up. Our personalities clash a lot but only if he speaks too much gibberish that I can't make sense of. Once he can later translate it to understandable English, things run smoothly. 😂 I think inside the box. If I do think outside of the box, it is simply thinking in a *different* box. His thinking has no box or no boundaries. His mind is like a galaxy that is filled with more imagination than I could ever dream to have. I always love it when he takes me on trips into his imagination. (In the safety of my rocketship box) 😂

[@shiroko6333]

I'm INFP and that's the best descirption of INFP I ever seen in my life :3 Even since I was a little child, I didn't act like one. I kinda never "fit my age", I always befriended those, who were younger or older than me. I was too mature and too childish to my classmates at the same time. It's a bit upsetting,but I could switch between kid and adult/elder in a second and because of that I could learn from them a lot of things. It's kinda win-win for me but I needed to grow up to accept this xd I think our emotional intelligence, wild imagination, empathy and sensitivity help us to "live more than once", and help us to deal with people expericenced by life. At the same time this child-like curiosity, idealism, innocence and avoiding conflicts make us look immature.

I feel like I've gone through so much in my life and I feel things so deeply that it's utterly exhausting and I feel as though I am much older than I am. You did the only thing you could do by putting us in both categories. This is what it's like to be an INFP. We are a living paradox.

Frank, you know INTJs so well. I was just about to respond to your placement of my type on your yardstick when you offered us the opportunity to angrily respond! Made me laugh but not out loud. P.S. INTJs are old souls from childhood. In some ways, we’re burdened with purpose because intuitively we understand consequence, which drives our need to plan a better way. I’d put us in the ancient category because building for the sake of building, a young adult’s reasoning, is not our motivator. It’s to save the world from what we know can happen BECAUSE WE KNOW WE’RE RIGHT!!! (A bit grandiose, aren’t we?!!)

[@eltedelarosa]

[@sandraspeery6317]

As an ENFP, I think you miss the “external” constant intake lighting fast neural connections firing. We are not “middle school”. We can see connections that so many miss. As a historian, being ENFP allows me to find those connections of culture, languages - basically the human condition and how as humans we are connected to other living beings and to the atoms of the very universe we are in. Yes - I am wise enough to know that the generations coming after me in my courses are going to take it further and hopefully make the future sustainable. They keep me informed and in touch with my liberal “we’re all in this together” mindset. We are goofy and most ENFP’s are MENSA range IQ’s. I don’t want to “get the glory” for solving or figuring out a problem. I lean on finding solutions that make everyone’s life better. I/we don’t need the spot light, but our ability to process external information lightning fast lead to real solutions. We are in it for a win-win for everyone. We are the ones out protesting and sitting up all night debating everything from string theory to how Homo sapiens are neuron-wired to repeat patterns of thought/behavior globally to individually. That’s NOT middle school. Read some of the brain scanning done on ENFP’s and how when shown information, all five areas of the brain involved in processing and analyzing light up.

[@martinusv7433]

Yep 👏 The INFJs and INFPs so desperately want to be the "misunderstood" types 😂🤦, but the one's that are truly misunderstood are apparently the ENFPs... People seem to think that ENFPs are goofing around and they don't take things "seriously", simply because they (we) see the bigger picture (through all the haze) and realize that most of that "serious" stuff is actually utter nonsense that doesn't even deserve to be taken seriously (and deserves to be mocked / ridiculed instead). I've always felt like an observer (not an active participant) in this life because I understand the basic truths about (human) existence, while most of the other people are like squirrels in a wheel (running around blindly for no meaningful reason whatsoever) 🤷

[@m_n_a_b]

While I do not work in an occupation anywhere near as intellectually complex as what you shared, my INTJ husband and I work in a very involved field requiring a ton of problem solving. One of my favorite ways about how my Ne and his Ni operate together is when he will state a current obstacle in our shared career, ask me if we should solve it with X or Y, and then I will suggest Z, A, B, C and D. He then extrapolates all the details that would be involved with seeing each option through to completion, and we both land on the best solution together. Our problem solving skills as a team shocks everyone around us, but these two functions simply work very well together. I also agree we are not middle school aged mentally. However, I do have a very childlike heart and love to be goofy and have fun. Kiddos love hanging around me and even my husband... he has a goofy side, too. It simply doesn't come out as often. Also, my absolute favorite type of activity is brainstorming. When I was a child, teachers would mention we were going to brainstorm for a certain topic, and my hand would shoot up into the air before they could finish their sentence. I would already have five or six ideas brimming beneath the surface and selected the best ones to share first... because usually my teachers would tell me I needed to give someone else a chance to answer, too. They were correct... other students needed to be involved in the learning process, but in my young mind, I just couldn't understand why every amazing idea of my own wouldn't spark even more creative ideas in theirs. So, I wanted to share so they could be inspired, too. My brain works crazy fast when it comes to ideas. It takes me a hundred times longer to explain all the ideas than it does for my brain to generate them. 😂

I am honestly surprised by the categorization of my personality type (INFP). The "being ancient (or old?) and childish at the same time" bit is so accurate. There is one time that I attented a funeral and I approached someone who is still emotional and I asked the typical asking assurance questions i.e. "Are you alright?" related-type of questions. Then we started a conversation contemplating the "whys of life" and the "uncertainties" of human existence and "death". Then out of nowhere, I said within the lines of: "Death is an act of deliverance into the being that we were once meant to be. We may never get to see them through our eyes, feel them with our hands, and such but their footprint that they left within this land will always remain within the confines of our minds and hearts". And they were shocked asking how do I know these stuff and I just replied: Idk tbh... eh idk now lol

[@megan8932]

Yeah we can grasp and comprehend the idea of how we came to understand these things but these sort of things are abstract and dont like logic, reason, and order, hence why its hard to explain, i think the trick to understanding things is understanding that logic and reason cant fully explain abstract ideas, so you need to let go of thinking that it has to make sense, or proceed linearly, life is not linear, plus logic and reason will never be able to explain where creation itself came from, but it exists so there has to be a why to the existance of existance, or the reality that things exist, cause there cant be a cause to cause an effect without something causing the cause, that caused the effect.

As an ENFP who is now in his late 60s, I have noticed that I am more balanced and have become a lot more balanced in my outlook and actions. Life has beaten the crap, er, smoothed off the rough edges, er, taught me that there is no one way to be. I started off life as an old soul due to tragedy and abuse, got out of the situation, became the child I never got to be, got smooshed by life because of it, became more introverted but no less reflective, and still like people. I suspect that this happens a lot to people as they age no matter their Myers-Briggs personality. I enjoy being alone but when I am around people I like, which is almost everyone, they can't get me to shut up. Hence, my comments on YouBoob for people who don't really care. 😁

The way you ranked these made me think about the shifting of my personality over the years, and it kinda makes sense! Between 2013 and 2023 I have taken the test 4 times and got 4 different results. I was ENFP in college..which makes sense..a few years later and I’m INFP. This is when I started to mature into adulthood. Things were getting more serious, and I yearned for simpler and more carefree times, while at the same time I’m starting to be more independent. I had been through a lot in my life (abusive relationships and struggling with my mental health and such) even up until that point, and wasn’t done. Around 2018 or 2019 I took the test again and got INFJ. At that point, among other things, I had already lost one of my parents. I was still in my 20s. It changed my entire perspective of everything, and life in general and my relationships. I did get pretty withdrawn for a period of time, fighting my own demons. A few months ago, I just turned 34, and took the test again. I’m ENFJ, and I legitimately almost died twice in the last 2 years (taken by ambulance for lengthy stays in the hospital, involving surgeries and blood transfusions). This year alone has been a wild ride. I still yearn for a simpler time, before I knew of any loss. I realize the importance of reaching out and cherishing time with your loved ones, and I try to do it more. I am less withdrawn, my circle is smaller than when I was younger, but I have a closer relationship with the people who have stuck around long term, and I am now working in peer support to help other people overcome their own struggles. I want to get out more and live life to the fullest, and try to help other people too, to the best of my ability. I realize I’m no hero, though. But I do my best, and I believe in doing your best and being the best, most authentic version of yourself. No matter who you are, you deserve to be loved for you. ❤

Several things I learned while watching this: 1. Editor Kevin is my favorite human being (this is subject to change). I have laughed really hard at the wild, blink-or-you'll-miss-it jokes he threw in there while watching this. He has infinitely made this channel so much better. 2. Interesting that Frank tied the ENFP and ENTJ with each other. IMHO, ENFPs do tend to be more emotionally mature than ENTJs but ENTJs are pretty analytical and more go-getter than ENFPs. For example, ENTJs tend to be the bossy ones in the group, but ENFPs do tend to not listen and do their own thing since ENTJs do tend to overreact to certain things. ENTJs over time will respect ENFP's boundaries and sense of wonder and will let them do things the way they do them. 3. Funny how Frank ranks INFJs pretty high on this scale (no bias at all lol), but I would argue that INTJs belong up there with the INFJs. INFJs have a very emotional core which they hide very well. INTJs may know how to temper their emotions better, but they might have a hard time addressing how they feel. Though INFJs are more open, INTJs are hardened. I'm on the fence whether INFJs are older than INTJs, but I think INTJs do have a wisdom beyond their years which should not be disregarded. 4. Glad Frank redeemed himself after unnecessarily bashing the INFPs in the last ranking video. However, I think more thought should be given in regard to the youthfulness of the INFP. They do appear to be paradoxical since they have a youthful sense of wonder, but also a taste for the ancient and finer things in life. I would put them lower than the INTJs for that, but still pretty high. This is the rant of an ENFP who obviously is pretty biased. I do not know many Sensors so I cannot speak as to their ranking. Take what I say with a grain of salt!

[@MarcusCaddock]

As an INTJ, I have never identified with teenagers with the exception of being ready and willing to critically think through others' plans (i.e. criticize). As a child, teenager, and young adult, I've been more ready to identify with seniors (my grandparents, church members) than most groups, but I have also been far more adept at technology than them. It makes more sense for INTJs to be placed at middle-aged or at a crotchety old soul who is ready and willing to tell people how things should be.

[@crwlh6721]

💯I've never known an INTJ that was truly "young at heart." To classify INTJ as teenagers based on them being future focused is irrational.

An awkward., old soul who looks 16 trying to flirt… you can imagine how well that turned out! I was kind of bummed and melancholy at the prospect of being INFP because of the stereotypes, and then I realized that’s possibly an INFP way to look at it … hehe Anyway! Thanks for the cool video and word of the week. It’s nice to have weekly inspiration. I cannot believe your little one is 9 months old :) he’s too cute! Sorry about the book.

[@FrankJames]

haha thanks for the book!!

Learn about the cognitive functions to clarify which type you are.

[@albertocordobesrodriguez8296]

Only an INFP could transform a commentary into a book

[@AnniePants367]

:) I’m very wordy that’s for sure.

[@imabookworm]

That description IS LITTERLY ME. Up until like a year ago I thought I was an ENFP that turned into an INFP when intense an intense period of sadness hit. But life is complex. Learned I was an INFP that had a little personality of ENFP that shined through 😅

[@freeone77]

Thank you once again for affirming what I could not quite articulate about myself. I am an ancient child. I love you for loving the temperaments!

[@deborahjones3956]

Thank you, FJ! While I felt validated enough when you put us off the chart with your green drink, my head exploded with warm, fuzzy kittens when you cut us in two and placed us on both ends of the continuum/infinity loop! Looking forward to your wotw.

INFP here, so many times in life i feel like I'm stuck watching my friends and family make mistakes that seem so obvious (dating manipulative people, thinking their actions wont have consequences, blaming others for their own issues, etc.). I feel like I have that lifetime of wisdom and experience to know better than to do what they are. Yet at the same time I still have that hope/idealism that lets me see the world for what it should/could be and strive to work towards that kind of life for myself and those around me. Your placement for us couldn't be any more fitting, Wise beyond our years, but "held back" (depending on your perspective) by a childlike Idealism. Able to view the world both for what it is AND for what it could be.

[@unionunicorn6776]

Yes! It takes wisdom to see what could be. I hate that being “naive” and “idealistic” is considered a bad thing :/

[@22pepperjack]

@@unionunicorn6776well personally I would still say that being naive is a bad thing. Choosing to live life in denial or clinging to a fantasy is unhealthy both for the naive individual and those around them. But a lot of people confuse idealism for naivety when the two are completely different. Idealism is seeing the difference between what is and what could be and choosing to work hard so that reality can edge closer to the ideal, where as In My personal experience naivety often means seeing the world through a lens of idealism and insisting that it is reality. Those who are naive are unable to see that difference. Choosing instead to believe that they have already achieved the ideal and need not try any further.

[@justinbassit8336]

As an INFP, this was a compliment

[@daniella4800]

Same here 😅

[@Rmetr0]

You KNEW what you were doing with INFP... It genuinely felt the most right to be the "end" and the "beginning" at the same time for me and and your final speech really made me emotional... 🙊

[@bonjolivent7130]

Love this video. So detailed. And accurate.

[@RoseCadenza]

As an ISTP, I usually act younger than my age (probably because I get told that I look younger than my age). But I feel like my mental age is older than a lot of others. I have a very disciplined and serious side when I'm in the focused mode (which I think others see me as a little scary because of it). So, this feels accurate.

[@pizzaparker7424]

Relatable. People tend to think I'm younger than I am too. I'm pretty sure it's because of my height even though when they explain it they say it's because of how my face looks. They can't fool me...

[@ep2223]

ISTP's can seem intimidating to others because they usually have things all thought out. That's why we are in the old category when it comes to process. But, I agree with others saying I seem younger than my age. There's something in or spirits that drive us to play hard.

[@user-fe7mg5ot9z]

I used to look much younger than my age, but now I just look like an old hag! And feel it. Even as a teenager, I felt old, old, old, and yet I also feel like I can't grow up. The biggest problem I find is that very few people can relate to me on any level, and it doesn't help that I generally lack effective communication skills. I used to absorb new information like a sponge and always analyzed every tidbit of information. The end result is almost like an overloaded computer, trying to correlate all the data. Cause and effect going in endless circles. I have taken the M-B a few times, and the result each time was (I was told) unusually strong. Am I alone in this?

[@pizzaparker7424]

@@user-fe7mg5ot9z A lot of the things you said aren't hard for me to understand and relate to to be honest.

[@nol2521]

im an istp but idrc i act like a child and i will never be old

[@annamallard2730]

I feel so special as an INFP after this 🥰 and you summed up our age perfectly, hehe thank you Frank! 🧚‍♀️

[@karolbryczek4519]

I totally wanna hug you after what you said about infp, watching your videos trully help me to live a life i want to and build up my confidence and start doing things a lot faster, wich us INFP's struggle with. Thank youz this is one of the best KZbin channels i found in my life❤

[@sugarapplepie]

This was so enjoyable to watch! I'm glad I clicked on it. Lmaooo everything you said was so funny and spot on. I was laughing at how accurate your thought process and criteria was for all of them! It's the first time seeing someone nail a video about the MBTI quiz for all the results!! And you did it in such a fun way, highlighting the key points for each one yet not only mentioning the surface level results 👏👏👏 This was really a perfectly done good video!! 🎉 I don't think the personality types are set in stone, it definitely goes through a cycle depending on what life stage you're at regardless of age-- and this video proves it with the ending 😂

[@AndersWatches]

As an INFP who is simultaneously ancient brained and childlike, yeah, accurate 😂

[@SDoesNotKnow]

As an INFP, I’ve had a growing suspicion that we were really meant to be the people in the village who can’t really participate in society so we are cloistered and made to be part of the clergy or religious sect and who people go to hit up (like a piñata) when they need a whack of some of that abstract and somewhat vague philosophy that they then can take however they want to make it useful to their lives. This video just added more fuel to the flame of that idea.

[@user-qy2kw9kx3o]

I love that idea. I’ve sometimes thought of myself as an anchorite.

[@irenecheca6575]

As I started watching the video I was already commenting on how Frank forgot the teen stage. I always felt like a teenager, even as child, and later as adult. Glad to see the category was added and INTJ & ENTJ in it. The rebeld spirit, the " some / most people or adults are idiots", the " me against the world "specially... the angst inside, while you Keep being efficient and not succumbing to peer-pressure. It totally makes sense to me
