I love it when James does M.B.T.I.-specific videos, especially when they’re not about relationships/crushes (I’m not massively into that stuff when it comes to taking the time to watch clips of that ilk on KZbin). The videos where he just uses ‘introvert’ as a general descriptor he tends to be talking about passive IxFPs than anyone-else and I hardly relate to them at-all. This, on the other hand, is the sort of stuff I love to see. Well-in, Frank. Please keep it up.

[@axelsebastian777]

As an INFP, I've never heard a more accurate description. I was the quietest kid in class, my class literally clapped for me the first time I asked my teacher to repeat themself. It's also very surprising how confident I am in front of the spotlight, whenever I did a presentation or got on stage my class's jaws dropped.

[@weshlesang6860]

Yeees I relate so much, like in my class when the super extroverts make a presentation they're not that confident and stress but when I do presentation I'm just sooo confident and look at everyone (even the teacher asked if we wanted to present in front of the class or only in front of the teacher and the extroverts said just in front of the teacher but me the contrary)

[@weshlesang6860]

Also my English may be not that good lol*

[@bloodymares]

It's that validation seeking. We love positive attention and can feel like rockstars if we're doing something we enjoy and get rightfully praised. But negative attention makes us want to turn invisible and crawl under a rock.

[@twitzmixx8374]

@@bloodymares holy sheet lmao that's accurate asf

[@pogpogpurinn]

Honestly I'm surprised as I was never really the quietest kid, I think I was the type that bounced between the categories he stated, if I was in a class with no friends I would be quiet and doodle except asking and answering questions in some classes but other times I'd get in trouble for talking to my friends in class non stop, me and my friend were moved away from eachother as we would spend all maths talking to eachother even though we werent the disruptive type (still think its unfair when the more popular girls were so disruptive haha) I had many groups I would float to and basically talk to whoever would talk to me but had only 3 close friends at the time, I was into sports and had a friendly rivalry at least on my side and super outgoing in those types or areas, but liked being on my own and getting on with work, sitting alone and being quiet was pretty typical I guess, but I was never the quietest overall. I hate presentations, the introvert in me terrified of standing in front of people and presenting something, but I liked the part where we would work in a group for it haha, but would step up to talk when others couldn't. I'm absolutely an infp, I'm painfully introverted really and am absolutely terrible at maintaining any social connections, everything he mentioned really described me too, and especially the interest changing and having something you accidently stand out with(for me, art) but I find it interesting how even tho we may be infps, not all of our experiences are the same. I do have adhd and autism so perhaps some of my differences and more talkative tendacies are due to that haha

[@ghost.ink.]

As an INTP, I can confirm, homework is the last thing I think about. And there are some subjects that I already know a lot about and it's just boring, some of them seem useless, or there are some that are just dislikable. Although the biggest struggle of them all, personally, is having to work in groups or having to learn at the others' speed.

[@Jason-vi8ny]

I still have PTSD from when the teacher would say 'Break yourselves into groups." Group projects were terrible. Group projects where the teacher didn't pick your partners for you was worse

[@ghost.ink.]

@@Jason-vi8ny And even if they did, it still was awkward! Because if they are your friends, it's painful to try to make them work without being rude, end up doing all the work, or even worse: awkwardness because you don't know who you were assigned with.

[@JoaoGomes-jx2el]

[@tsa0809]

I completely agree with the INTP ones. I will be suddenly hooked to a random topic while doing homework and assignments. And tada! The work remains incomplete or it is completed at the very last moment. "Learning is more important than grades" I couldn’t agree more to this. We are bound to make mistakes in exam but that doesn’t necessarily determine our intelligence or capability. When I was in the middle school, I was at the extreme spectrum of introversion and struggled in communicating. But now with the passage of time, I improved a lot.

[@botdbq]

lol i'm the exact same

[@dune.3297]

Same! I’m currently preparing for a law school entrance exam so I have to go through a lot of current affairs and static GK for one of the sections but the problem is that when I find a topic that I’m interested in, I would research about it in detail to the point that it’s not actually required and am falling back in catching up to new stuff… Hope everything goes well lmao I have to stop doing it but it’s so hard!

[@Missmagazinebura]

I only get incomplete at private school

[@TheShadoes-zf9ts]

I usually complete my assignments early, if only so I can back to learning. "Learning is more important than grades" should be a motto or something.

[@kpmathis71]

I'm a mix of procrastination & get down early so I can do what I want.

[@hazelmclardy8450]

As an INFP, listening to the part about switching interests was so enlightening *stares at the many interest collections around my room. It definitely explains my sudden obsessions that die down just as quickly and return from the ashes after a few months

[@heathertoomey7068]

I do that, too! ~ ENFP

[@Lucas-mq2pd]

yeah! im exactly like that

[@akshishah7119]

Same (an INFP) but know i don't know what to do in the future as a career cause my interest keep changing every few weeks and i have to decide in like a few months with exam pressure also going on

[@NikkTheMage]

This is very true. We're the same as ENFP's.

[@bloodymares]

@@akshishah7119 Right? It seems like any field might work for us with exceptions that you DEFINITELY know are not for you which are very few... I realized that any kind of sales jobs is an instant pass for me. Trying to find an approach to a client was fun but the predatory nature of the business really made me dislike it. Any mindless manual labor is boring, too, even though we can become very good at it if it's not physically demanding. Trying to start a business sounds like a nightmare so I avoid it even though I have cool ideas in my brain. Other than that it feels like anything can fit us if we put enough effort.

[@jamesonweston]

As an INTJ, I cannot agree more! Literally the part where you said "oh there's a test today?" I was dying, I never studied once in school because it was boring haha and managed to keep a 3.9 GPA k-12 and a 4.0 in college. I do have a little bit of some overlap with the INFJ though as my thinking vs feeling is so close at 52% Thinking 48% Feeling. So I was a little more social than an average INTJ but not by much.

[@ahlaammohamed3206]

I never studied in school. Got good grades in middle school, until teachers and students bullied me. I went from an A-B student to C,D, and F because screw you. To think I wanted to be a teacher.

[@Gr_YoruToshiro]

Your not an intj then sorry brotha cause I am one lol

[@mikehintz]

@@Gr_YoruToshiro me? mate the teachers and students fucked me over in middle school and tried to frame me for things I didn't do like threatening to shoot up the school. I actually pity teachers somewhat now because they are foolish bastards who fell for the meme that they can change minds. I had a teacher who would refuse to let explain why a 9lb bowling will float but a 14lb will sink. He said it was not true. BULLSHIT you bald bastard. It is because a 9lb bowling ball is made of dense foam which will float, but starting around 11-12 pound balls, they add a metal core in the center.

[@NFSMAN50]

Im an INFP and what you said about us is completely spot on, im both the quiet and reserved kid who doesn't cause issues or trouble, but I was also the guy who stood out and was unique in school. I definitely defied social norms forsure, by being friendly, sensitive, kind, quiet, and had a very unique and unconventional presence about me. I was the dude who got along with everyone mostly, and was somewhat popular with the ladies, in a friendly way though. Most people thought that I was very kind, sensitive, easygoing, and a bit of an oddball at times. I was bullied though at times.

[@twitzmixx8374]

Yep. Spot on. Even for me. Especially the ladies part that you mentioned was also thesame for me. Funny thing is I'm like more close to the ladies than the guys, in a friendly way ofc. But if I need to I'll have no trouble talking to guys and I'd be totally fine if I stay there. This is one of the videos that really tells me that I'm an INFP.

[@TricksterWicked]

INTJ married to an INTJ. We were high school sweethearts. My spouse literally calculated exactly how much work he was required to do to get what he considered an acceptable grade in each class, and would do no more or less than that amount. Many teachers just gave up asking about his homework and he drove everyone insane because he never, ever studied but scored extremely high. Went to college for exactly one semester before ditching it completely and going a different route. I focused my energy on getting the highest possible scores in every class because it was part of my long-term plan to get as many scholarships as possible so I could attend college. Ironically the thing that kept me out of the best schools was not my grades/test scores, which were impeccable, but the fact that I had no extracurricular passions or social life. I got to college and was interested in information but not grades so much; it also occurred to me that I'd never actually tried in school? Makes me wonder what I could have accomplished if I'd actually put some effort in. TLDR: Frank, please stop stalking us, it's getting out of hand.

[@HeartlandHunny]

[@samsurleau]

INFP here. I can attest that I have been both in my life, the quiet loner in the corner in my teens and 20s, and now the weirdo who can't help standing out in my 30s. As I've become more comfortable with myself and my weirdness, I absolutely love the chance to dress up, to show off, to stand out, in everything. All the things I felt self conscious about in my teens, I now flaunt in shameless exhibition. As I've gotten older, I have let all f***s fly away in the wind, and behold, I have none left to give.

[@ayshaghanawi9941]

How did you overcome your insecurities? Any advice would help

[@samsurleau]

@@ayshaghanawi9941 Oh sweetheart, I would love to help... For mental insecurities and depression issues... Just finding a good therapist works wonders. Explore art in any way you can, express yourself. But mostly... Just time. The longer you go, the more you realize that all the things you don't like about yourself, either nobody sees them or they don't care or... they find them loveable. With time, learn to love and accept yourself. 🫂 Everyone else can f*** off. 😉

[@IndieRockerHippy]

This resonates so much with me! Just turned 33 and I've never felt as happy and confident in who I am. Lots of therapy and daily meditation for the past 3 years helped me more than words can express. I swear i'm like a whole new person. Pretty much all anxiety, second guessing and overthinking is now a thing of the past. I'm just living in the moment and taking life as it comes.

Agreed with INTP. I had a physics exam one day, I got so interested in Gravitation that I started next grade Gravitational Concepts instead of doing the rest of the topics. Ended up getting 94% in that test. Turned out, the rest of the kids didn't know that we were supposed to have a Gravitation Test. (I didn't know that it was only a Gravitational Concept Test)

Im also intj, I have 17 absences this semester already, and my mom got a phone call from the school. I cant miss anymore days, and Im dreading next semester because im going to get burnt out so quickly. The dean also knows this isn’t affecting my grades either because he is my precalc teacher, and I have a 99.

[@coopersingleton]

As an INTJ, I can confirm this is spot on (I'm in my first semester of college). I never take notes, don't study for tests, and struggle to get myself to do homework. In spite of all this I have over 95% in half of my classes and under 65% in the other half, and have since 9th grade.

[@DarthRavenous]

As an INFJ, I can really agree with what you said about having a lot of friends and acquaintances without realizing it at first, because we don't like to expose who we really are to many people so we end up masking ourselves to fit in more which can draw the appeal of the general populous with which we socialize. Although, we are able to drop the mask when we're with the people we really trust on a deeper level making for wonderful close relationships that are beneficial for everyone involved.

He's an engineer now, surprise, surprise.

[@nieshuchangwhitleyss2468]

[@DARKGIRL312]

As an INTP I can second the part about only studying what I’m interested in. My grades in college were terrible because they never tested the things I took interest in and knew, though I acknowledge that my grades suffered also because I ditched a lot of classes (due to oversleeping, indiscipline, and indifference about boring things ofc). But after graduation I still managed to have the job for which I obtained my degree, only specialized in the teeny-tiny bit that I really like.

I failed English multiple times, while I got perfect scores on math hw/tests. Math isn't my favorite but I do enjoy things that stay the same no matter what, like a math equation. I think the only thing in school I was good at was math, art(i was very detailed oriented), and band (played the clarinet). Every other subject was boring and useless to me

[@err_what]

@@deathbymajorityvote5448 I’m about average in English, I wouldn’t call myself very creative but just a bit.

[@Brandyrose111]

As an INFP: I can say he is SO RIGHT! I was very introverted and didn’t really talk to anyone unless they talked to me. But when it came to choir I would constantly go out of my way to try out (and get) every solo there was. I was even in the after school jazz choirs(yes two of them) and at the end of the year my class voted me best alto. And yet I never had really any close friends. And was still very shy. So that definitely all adds up, at least with me.

[@hotpink3459]

I was the exact same. I was so shy in my regular classes and wouldn't raise my hand, but I was choir president and had lots of solos. 😂

[@bakarka]

Me too (INFP), but it was in band and orchestra, I played in every group I could fit in my schedule and got selected to play solos and even a concerto, all while thinking I wasn't good enough and wishing somebody else would do it. It was a curious blend of wanting to avoid the spotlight, but not wanting to disappoint my teachers, and thinking the experience would be "good for me". Mostly I just loved playing in a group and not being noticed, and still do. Feeling a part of a harmonious whole, producing something of beauty, brings out my best self.

[@Interestking]

Alto sax? If so, me too!! ^_^ Edit: "me too!!" about playing alto sax. I do band and vocals at school, but I can't imagine I'm the best in either. -an INFP

[@Tumpz]

ISTP, I remember several teachers being very surprised before exams when they were prepping us, especially I recall my English teacher being mindblown at my English knowledge which she thought was nonexistent due to my lack of saying anything during classes 😂 oh and my math teacher who thought I cheated during the iq tests we did because my scores were pretty high and she thought I was stupid cause I was borderline failing her classes. Good times.

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

Also ISTP with some similar experiences. I had a COLLEGE prof intimate I plagiarized my creative writing papers. I had issues with Math that required showing work since a lot of math work is intuitive in my brain, and it's not really logically working step-by-step in my chaotic brain. "Well how did you get this answer then?!" "Ermm...well is it right or isn't it???"

[@Kate-qi7rn]

ISTP too. We used to have this extra 10 question "common knowledge" sheet in with our math tests. Everyone hated the common knowledge test cause it was apparently harder than the topical test. I loved it cause I'd always get most of the common knowledge answers right and then couldn't be bothered studying for the actual topic test.

[@annyanny43]

I have experienced too much of the ‘teachers were certain I cheated’ situations than I’d like to admit lol but I also got into one of the top 3 unis in my country and they all have nothing to say about it, not too sure if it has anything to do with me being an ISTP tho.

You got INFPs perfectly! I was the shy kid that sat in the back of the room, but I also was in theatre. It makes zero sense, and now as an adult I can't believe I used to get on stage and perform in front of hundreds of people. Also the varying interests thing.... I'm still like that hahahaha.

[@CamzCritiques]

aaaa that's me rn. known to be extremely quiet until you see me on stage. theatre has changed me so much i love it

[@kirstenanderson608]

There might be something to that. I fit the description of the shy loner INFP to a T. But as far as performing on stage, or singing, or making a presentation or report in front of anyone, or even just playing an instrument...no way, no how. Probably because I have no skill or talent in those areas, but I believe if I did I would still be only very slightly more apt to put myself out there, on display to other people. However, on thinking about this, I realize that in my job as a school librarian (yes, I do fit the stereotype of the mousy shy librarian 🙄), when I read to the younger kids I do tend to emote and add different voices to the characters in storybooks. Dry reading with no emotion or just spoken like a recitation always annoyed me. So, in that area alone, I am very expressive and let my weirdness shine forth. Perhaps I am feeling that the young kids don't mind my zaniness, in fact might even like it? Hmmm, that might indeed be a not-so-odd part of my INFP nature.

[@bunny_0288]

@@kirstenanderson608 Doing school reports was a million times worse than theatre. On stage the lights blind you and you can't really see anyone in the crowd. You are also pretending to be someone else and rehearse a million times. Standing in front of a classroom with ppl staring at me was always way worse 😂. I also emote when reading stories to kids! It's so much fun! My niece and nephews used to beg me to read to them when they were little. I always did funny voices for the different characters lol. And I always do silly voices and talk for animals. I'll make up what I think they would be saying if they could talk. It's so silly, but my husband finds it funny. I always wonder if other INFPs do it too. I also started to get my masters in library science, but I got married and never finished, so we sound very similar 😂. I wish I knew an INFP in real life.

INTP here but that's relateable

[@jhemp]

I really never had much trouble even through my masters degree. There were a couple classes I struggled in, but it wasn't that they were hard it's that they either made the class too early for me to do much since I worked midnights or they gave an overwhelming amount of homework. I've never really thought homework was a good idea and I've never really did more than the bare minimum to get by. I want to play games or read or something, what's the point of homework if you just talk yourself through and understand stuff you did in class then it's just not necessary.

[@karlafernanda2715]

INFP, what you said about being shy and standing out at the same time is on point for me. I was hoping you would talk about how INFPs do academically. Reason being that that's how I stand out, I get the best grades, I participate a lot in class, I tend to be competitive tbh, but I'm so shy it's not even funny. I'm currently in Highschool, so the pandemic didn't help. I went the first two years without actual friends, and then when I finally made 3 close friends, some circumstances led to me losing them.

As an INFP i never understood why i was 'known.' there was always a rumor or talk about me and i never know it. The guy i have a crush on found out the day I 'told a friend.' Granted, I like achieving academically. Straight A's, and questionably teachers' favorite (I just try my best). I like presentation time (one way, no questions), joining the local chess event, intracampus declamations, intracampus solo-singing. But i never won. And when I did that, I remember i did that to help push myself to be able to communicate better. But it's a learnt skill. Perhaps that helped me be less shy, but still not very social enough. Some classmates think me weird, the group i hung out took me as a pushover, and the batchmates who only hear about me are intimidated. But no one really felt like they genuinely wanted to hang out. I'd have one or 2 friends at a time in a whole school year. And even they weren't constants. Once i had a friend who told me all her secrets, dating problems, etc. And i thought we were best friends until she left me. And then i realized, i was always asking about her, she never thought to ask about me. So, usually, I work best alone - haha. Not antisocial but very misunderstood for whatever reason

[@SketchySquirrel]

As an INFP (15:58) I was blown away by how SPOT ON your description of me at school is. I was thinking "How does this person know who I am". How I sometimes go out of my way to demonstrate being unique while striving to fade into the background at other times. Also the loosely formed friendships that are difficult to maintain, also hit the nail on the head. Amazing video. :D You also got my family pretty much spot on too.

I'm an INFJ and I can confirm the whole being an underachiever because of our introversion part is true because that just happened to me in school. In a recent group project nobody was cooperating and this one person was way too passive aggressive to another person and while they both had great ideas, they wouldn't try and cooperate and put their ideas together because I think both of their ideas together could get us a Level 4 which our teacher rarely gives out. Although, because of the introverted part of me I ended up not really pointing that out and agreed to go ahead with our project even though it was very lacking.

[@Pencil2.0]

​@@Jaxan-dq2jy That's exactly how I felt while working on the group project, if nobody wants to cooperate then what can I do anyways? I think the thing about INFJs is that even though we know we have the ability to do something, we feel there would be too much energy used, too much conflict and too much redirecting like you said which is the introverted part of us which then brings forth the underachiever side of us.

[@Pencil2.0]

​@@lux_URIOUS I think that makes sense because I searched it up and: "INTJs base decisions on logic, while INFJs tend to consider the emotions" so INTJs like you probably feel the need to be perfect especially since you know you can be with more logical approaches to your situations while INFJs like me don't feel the need to be perfect nearly as much because we consider how we'd feel about things before we consider the logic needed to make our decision. I don't know about MBTI types that much though so the INTJ might not be true for you but at least that's what I think it is.

Like you said, we can stand out or be completely invisible. when there are presentations I make sure to project my voice and when i really need help ill ask for it. its funny bc every circumstance outside of that I'm quiet/ then BOOM the ultimate plot twist: I became school captain with no previous experience, just solid morals and presentation. anything is possible my introverted friends!!

I'm an ENFJ and this is way too true. For so many group projects, I've taken on most or all of the work silently, without telling the teachers that I was the one who did everything. I just cared too much about the work itself, as well as being worried that I would sour my relations with my groupmates if I just kept forcing them to do their parts to a level I believed to be satisfactory. I'm a bit too much of a people-pleaser in a way, not as in the manner of a teacher's pet but simply avoiding offending or inconveniencing them. It has made me a little salty about it as it continued happening, but at the same time, I couldn't help but silently resign myself to that cycle.

I was a main singer in the a cappella group...even into my college years too I sang. I played piano lessons for 9 years and voice lessons for 5. I was able to compose some songs and did a senior recital. I had some lead roles in musicals. I was also the MVP XC runner and swimmer in the school. I was known for saying absolutely absurd things that got many teachers to actually like me, with some hating me. I would always joke about having a bunch of drugs and getting high even though everyone knew that I didn't and would never take them. I bounced from social circle to social circle. However, I mostly stayed away from the popular kids even though I knew they respected me. I wasn't valedictorian, but I was in all honors classes and never looked at my grades. I didn't care. I was pursuing my interests/talents. I still finished with a 3.85 gpa. I am now finishing my bachelors degree in biochemistry in a few days and I've maintained good grades. I sang in the best choir and group in my university.

I was (still am) known for saying the most absurd and out of pocket things 🥴, my teachers have noticed, my friends have noticed, even my parents have said that my little mind is too compicated to understand.

More than a missed opportunity, it frustrates me. It's like I need people to know that I know the answer. Most of my friends don't even try to understand the way I behave in class lol, I'm both always volunteering & super participative, AND an extremely anxious person when it comes to relationships (but that is more related to mental disorder I have).

If I have to spend multiple hour learning the day before to do well on a test, the test is useless to me. trough the tests I want to know what I actually learned, not what I was able to awkwardly shove into my memory the day before. learning must come has a natural consequence of being interested in a subject and paying attention in class, not furiously shoving as much raw information as possible into that noggin of yours ! by doing that, you don't actually learn, you simply blindly memorize everything.

I am either INTP or INTJ. I always did/do the assigned work, though studying for tests was more like reading it once the day before the test. Most homework was done either last second or immediatly after assigned. I knew the roster and test schedules perfectly. Sometimes when bored in class I was a chapter ahead of the rest to the point the teachers did not allow me to do that anymore. So then I would be bored..............and play with my school supplies during class. Folding origami, doodling,...not really paying attention at all etc... I hated reading the same thing repeatedly just for the sake of a good grade, I just like learning things in general. So many times I tought when other students asked questions " ugh...That was already discussed last month, sheesh don't you remember and its right there in the book....just read that first for ffs."

[@mostfrozenburrito]

I’m an INFP and I was absolutely the kid who sat in the back corner of the classroom who you forgot was in your class because I never talked to anybody and just spent all my time writing poetry and short stories but I totally was so eager every time a new school year came around and we had to introduce ourselves to our peers. I wanted to stand out and be interesting. I would put hard work into assignments where I’d have to present something in front of the class and make special effort to come across as unique. I always really liked school, both in learning new things and in getting to observe the strange behaviors of humanity on a daily basis.

[@KyzoBricks]

As an INTJ, you absolutely nailed this, all throughout school, I'd bust out my calculator to see what the minimal amount of effort I could put into a class was, and I graduated high school last year with a 3.6, so nothing too great but my attention was never truly on academics. Also I have no friends so you got that part right too.

[@daviti_u]

Most subjects were propaganda due to post soviet country I am from. So I was studying from different books I was interested in. That is why I did not care about grades.However still I could manage to get good grades in fields I was interested in. E.g. physics. However that subject teaching was not as good as chemistry. I loved chemistry, but my future plan was to become a physicist. I did not have any friends there. I was socially isolated somehow. - INTJ

[@lampylightbulb]

The INTP is pretty accurate to me Admittedly I tried less in some subjects like math and chemistry due to being more interested in art and creative writing but anything aside from those? Well, I was definitely more interested in the learning part than the testing part. Honestly I could probably blame some of my struggles on the school's focus on grades rather than actually giving students time to learn and invest in the subjects being taught TwT If only

[@aeramisu.]

As an INFJ, I kinda agree with this. I have small circle of friends and have a lot of acquaintances. I think I blend with people because mirroring other people’s actions and would treat them like how they treated me. I’m currently our class president and a research group leader, most of the times I end up frustrating silently because my classmates won’t listen to me maybe because of my introversion. I don’t have the confidence to speak up too. I am working on it though.

[@exolove2240]

Wrong move to be a Leader. We as a INFJ are the ones who make a King and manipulates them in the shadow doing our bidding.

[@natashadavis2959]

Very accurate with the INTP. I was an A and B student the first semester. Then, after winter break, the teachers would review and do busy work and start teaching to the test. I would then space out. I would not do the busy work, waste of time, I'd rather be in the library the whole second semester, then spend two weeks learning what was taught in the whole 4 months of review, busy work and test-prep. This got me held back in 7th grade. Also if the teacher was... shallow in knowledge, I would ignore that class. I just wanted to learn, not jump through hoops to make the teacher look good. If you looked at my tests, I aced them, frustration abounded through out my whole school career. I took my GED test before I even entered into Highschool. I went to Highschool because I wanted to learn. What I learned is, if you go to school strictly to learn and not for the goal of earning your diploma, then you will be sorely disappointed. There were good teachers who taught very well and were very knowledgeable, but most were not, and my school's goal was to funnel as many students as possible into the local university. There whole curriculum was geared towards what the university wanted. Not towards a well rounded eduation and not towards prepareration for adult life. I left and went to Tech-School. Let's just say my time in the Public Education System has left me bitter. I homeschool my kids.

[@myoaklee]

I relate so much to this! I am disappointed with the public education and currently homeschool my kids as well.

[@heathertoomey7068]

I love and appreciate your tactfulness when describing a teacher whose knowledge was lacking and made the course less fun!

[@jackraiden6180]

I'm an INFP and darn, I like learning but not that much XD School was easy due to everything you just said but that's what made it fun. XD

[@Ichthyodactyl]

I think I'm going to have to homeschool my kids for this reason. Public education failed me and though I nearly aced my GED, that really doesn't matter as much as they keep saying. If my kids are anything like me, public education just won't be a realistic option if they are going to keep their options open later in life.

INFJ. Always had a lot of acquaintances, not too many close friends. A lot of people who knew me probably thought 'he's fine' while I was going through a mental crisis because I looked so friendly. It just so happens that my definition of 'friend' was different than most people, so I had no one to share my personal worries to.

We don't consider them as a friend. As a INFJ! They just do what ever we want to do.

[@A52_E92]

As an intj, I’m kind of the opposite of what was said. I pay attention in all classes, almost always sit in the front and know what assignments are due weeks in advance. But still I do zone off and not pay attention for long periods of time every once in a while 😅

[@abhishekjain3148]

infj - Went on 4 class trips, 2 of them were camping trips, each time separated into different groups, tents, seats etc. which is why I had to hang out with whomever I was with, and surprisingly always had a great time with 2-3 acquaintances and still do the nod when we passed each other in school

[@julieporter7805]

When I had a question in English classes, I would answer with all of the knowledge that I had. When it came to Math and Science, I clammed up. Also, I was very private and shy and only joined groups on topics that I was interested in and obsessed with. The life of an INTJ/Bookworm who has since became a Remote Book Reviewer and Editor.

[@jijitters]

ISFP - I was usually in drama or film but would also enjoy hanging out in the classrooms with windows for the view. I also had trouble making friends because I disliked cliques and didn't know how to talk to people who weren't into the same things as me. Too on-point!

[@kkatgurl]

I agree

[@anyadarlingg]

I completely agree with the INFJ part! I am an INFJ but I always hated how introverted/shy I was (still kinda am, just way less now). Especially in high school years, there were certain goals I wanted to achieve, but were too shy to. Things like sports, theater- and just wanting to be more outgoing in general. I put myself in drama classes two years in a row, and then a public speaker course later in community College, all to help me feel more confident in larger settings. It has helped me to continue pushing myself, and I find it way easier now to be in front of large groups

Yay! Thank you so much for making this video! I am making a school and want it to be great for all personality types, so this helps me a lot!! And a lot of future students! I'm an ENFP. and I excelled in school, getting virtually all A's. I was only a class clown as a kid when I needed attention, and once in 8th grade for one semester, until I had gotten my fill. I do have many social circles, but not based on whatever my "current obsession" is. I have many, many interests, and I want to be friends with virtually everybody, so I just find a shared interest and keep the friendship as long as we naturally cross paths in life. And sometimes beyond. I did great in school because I love learning and am interested in virtually everything, but I often wouldn't do math homework because it was too boring to me.

INFJ so true 🤔 In social media i created small group of people that support and help to prepare to exams to each other (we dont see each other in real life, we are in completely different cities). We all are recording a study time in yeolpumpta so we have motivation while see like other guys studying And this is very heart warming ❤

[@rob91ification]

ENTP here, I was notoriously difficult to work with in group projects in school (though I also did well so people tended to want to be in my group until they actually worked with me). My energy is all over the place so I'd be super productive only in small parts, generally the last minute. I also changed ideas frequently and tended to take over projects because of it. One of the worst examples was a Year 9 Geography project in which we worked on a natural disaster and at the last minute I changed my mind about what I wanted us to do and re-did the whole project by myself. I was hoping to discover that I broke stereotypes but I was on the debating team. Also I was lazy academically and still was top 4 in my year...sorry everyone else. And did everything at the very last minute to boot.

[@mirae1525]

Damn same 😂...

[@tonai]

Sameee

[@yogs8280]

Lol I was, that's why when I see there another people who excited to lead the group project, I tend to let him/her lead and follow their way. I think that's happen because we haven't understand the timing in improving and deciding. We thought it's okay to improve this part or that part since we still have many time. But if we could figure out clearly how the improvement affect the to do list, it could make us decide better whether we really want to improve or not. After learnt project management, I really enjoy to lead many projects in the same time, because it's being so clear about the real deadline in improving & deviding. One of the most things I like is, I don't need to do other's job only to make sure the idea is being executed lol

Also, I was a competitive dancer and a theater/choir kid in school and I can confirm, the tech kids, especially sound engineers, love feeling in control! And if they are good at it, they might just be the most important person in that room! In my thespian troop, our sound guy had so many points, they had to invent a new rank for him.

INTJ is shockingly accurate for me. I never studied like ever, and had never had anything lower than an A-, and even then it damaged my ego.🗿I always just sat in the back of the class playing unblocked games and watchingKZbin. Also I was considered to be one of the "gifted" kids, which makes me agree even more on the fact that it makes being an adult, or growing up in general harder, because you realize either you weren't actually smart, or that you can't coast through life the same you did school.

Cheated only on these subjects and rarely, and when I did, I hated it. Scared to speak up and often answering incorrectly on purpose when asked bc I was too afraid and shy. Often the teachers would mark me as absent when I wasn't and somehow they haven't learnt my name throughout all the years.
