Hi frank... Can you please make videos on the inferior functions of each type the way you did about INFJ's inferior Se in one of your past videos🙃Please. You are really providing us such insight !😇😇

[@72marshflower15]

I subbed to you a while back cause I see that you might be fairly insightful. However, it’s easy to notice a lot of hipsters out there recently that are successful due to their socialization skills, not due to any actual merits of study or work. Given there are so many fakes in the world, and all this while America is “on the brink”, it would be in your interest to stand out from others in your pursuits to help people, the country, and the world by asserting your back ground experience in regards to education and passion. In short, can you please post your background academics in your links so people can have a quantifiable means of gauging your videos and posts? People should trust your intellectual background AS WELL as your suave smile 🤗 Please and thank you. Signed, a male INFJ Heyoka.. #UberRare

@@artscience9981 In my honest opinion, personality types aren't a very good representation for personal character because people can think and feel one way one day and just change the other. I'm like that, sometimes I'm an extrovert, sometimes an ambivert sometimes an introvert, sometimes I care what people think sometimes I don't, it just depends on how I'm feeling and if I want to put in the social effort. I can't even describe myself within the bounds of these 4 types because I've always felt like I had a piece of each one. I think the best judge of character is the one you actively wish people thought that you were, not categorized. P.s I know you didn't ask, but when it comes to my description above for the types, it comes from an all-world, sort of observer of the world type view, not that I am or think that I'm good enough to be, but that just sometimes I feel like that, if that makes sense.

One thing I've never seen addressed in personality type videos is how anxiety and shyness are often seen as being synonymous with introversion. It seems like anxiety is a diagnosable, treatable condition. A preference for being is not that. I've always found people draining but have never been shy or had any type of anxiety. I enjoy being alone. I'm pretty self-confident. Maybe it's age. I think a lot of people who fashion themselves introverts are really just anxious or shy or possibly both, and if those issues were dealt with they would find they are actually extroverts. That's just me going down the rabbit hole.

[@sunnyvirtue4498]

@Colleen Quigley I'm the same way. I prefer to be by myself as well and I also don't speak much but not because I have anxiety or I'm shy. I think people identify with either being introverted or extroverted because of socially constructed roles and categorization of personalities. Maybe the question should be more on self-confidence and self-esteem as opposed to being either intro- or extroverted. Many blessings and be well 😊🙏💖

Are you an INTP? Same for me when I was in school, but this is because I like things to be done my way (the right way), work alone and think other people are stupid very often. In the University when I found my group of competent and reliable people I would let them lead and just do my part. Today at work I never take the lead, work in IT, lot of competent people, still need things to be done my way and like to do things alone. Note: it make me look like an ashole talking about the dumb people, but in school I always notice that people just did not care to have things done with quality. That always make me take the lead.

Me (INTP) in a group project: Oh God no one else is organizing it or taking initiative, does that mean I have to? -> Tries to lead but it's very draining -> No one else actually contributes much -> Does everything myself -> Eventually expected to do everything myself evey time -> complains to friends Friends: Why don't you delegate tasks to your group members?

INTP female here.

So far they are quite responsible even tho the quality of each individual work doesn't always meet expectations, but it's okay bcs that's teamwork at least we got the job done and I hate it if people taking advantages of me by making me do all the jobs lol. What I do is try to understand each person ability in my team, delegate the work according to that, and make some to do list/brief procedures that have to be accomplished (but be sure not to be so rigid).

@@sadlittletroll1738 ah I see. When I was younger, I used to act that way. And the way you act I think pretty much similar with some of my intj acquaintances.

Not only we can make them to be responsible, we can also help them to learn in their own way & give them confidence in their ability. Because I know how awful it feels when people in my team underestimate my ability & think that my work is pontless, so I try my best not gonna do the same to others.

[@swopekat]

Watching this has been really interesting. Since I figured out that I'm an INFP, I've really enjoyed figuring out what other people's types are. Normally I can have trouble connecting with people, but when I do meet that rare person, it can feel really intense and I'm drawn to them like we've known each other our whole lives. I now think that indescribable feeling is related to NF. From watching this video in particular, I realized that my best friend in college was an ENFJ. We had very similar tastes and loved having long conversations about our observations and theories, but she also had this great maternal/take-the-lead/decisive quality which was great since I'm a shy. I also fell really hard for a guy in high school that was definitely an F type. I'm less sure what his whole type was, but probably also contained NF. Having an abrasive INTJ father, it was so intoxicating to meet a guy like that. Unfortunately, I've only ever felt that spark with those two. I really enjoyed the great memories that this video brought up.

[@airacarillo5834]

In short, IxxP’s place high value on the ‘ intention behind ‘ everything they do, and what others do. Also value one’s own unique identity and authenticity that’s why we’re kind of creative in a way that is uniquely different from everyone else. The way we see how we’re self-focused, we understand that other people have their own identity inside as well..
