INTP here. He strikes me as an INFP. I’ve known both INFPs and INFJs. I’ve seen what I call “dead face” in INFPs: their eyes look dead to emotion, as if they are staring in your direction, but not engaging with you or showing any emotion with their eyes. INFJs are more direct, inviting, and absorbing information with their eyes. He seems to be at ease and enjoy relating emotional experiences. The INFJs that I know, do not open up with ease. They also relate emotional experiences with a more detached, serious, and almost academic/analyzed style. There’s more, but I am tired.
First, he has the dead face to me. Second, camera is way easier to talk to a camera than a person. I don't know if these are even proper measures though, so it might not even matter.
@@RRRsimracing Yeah cause Si is aaaallllll about a person's own experiences, couple tht with Fi and it turns into personal experiences. Definitely INFP
INFJ share too much information about themselves too. I know an INFJ, and she is far more open about her personal life than me (INFP). I am far reserved than her.
Exactly what I thought...this guy is bursting with his own emotional interpretation of the world around him and inside himself (FI). He's a sopping wet rag of (his own) rich emotional life, just like the best INFPs....Def INFP.
Exactly...It surprises me a great deal just how many people actually remotely seen an INFJ in him. He's such an INFP. He has such obvious Fi, Ne and Si. He literally shows all of them in pretty much every video. How can anyone miss that?
I respect this opinion but I do not share it. To me, Frank James is a typical INFJ! But Pucokie knows best, I guess, because she knows FJ in real life, so maybe she should decide if FJ should be jailed or not? I found his channel as he had just around 4000 subs. It's been a great ride to witness FJ 's personal growth, hear about his experiences. I love his authentic and unique way of inviting the viewers into his world and sharing his insights, ideas, music and humour with us. What do I find so very INFJ about FJ ??? -He is a cameleon, he is a bit (or much!) different in each vid and still remains authentic, his complexity is striking. -Overthinking and overanalyzing is so FJ and so INFJ. They are the most thinking folks among the feelers and the most feeling individuals among the thinkers. Always worried about how others perceive them and whether they like them or not... - INFJ do talk a LOT about their experiences, how they feel, what they think - others often perceive us as egocentric. But hey, these are our main functions, we are introverted and intuitive, so yeah - we will likely talk more about ourselves than about others or the weather or some new fashion trends. Which does not mean that we are egoists, who do not care about others. In fact we do care. Way too much... -which brings us to an INFJ super power: empathy. We care so much about those around us, that we tend to oversee our boundries and limits. The lines are so blurred to us, that we often fail to feel where we end and where the other person starts! -"Did I say something upsetting? Is it my fault? " Caring so much about how others feel and pondering if we did/said sth wrong. - being very, very polite :)) - very, very imaginative and creative, - unique sense of humor, -unique looks, -a perfectionist, - loves music and art, is a musician and a writer, -very sensitive, -a philosopher, - great counseling talent... That was FJ in a pill. I could go on with this, but it's cold and snowing outside and I do miss my comfy warm bed. So ...goodnight! Btw , I doubt one can type a complete stranger based on just two youtube vids. So I suggest you take a trip to jail yourself, for judging FJ without gathering a substantial evidence ^^
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople that is interesting... I just watched Michelle in your video but I dont see myself as ENFP. My sister is that type though. Actually I am 93% introverted :)
@last of the wilds. Those behaviours sound very much like me as an INFP. And yes I know that INFP and INFJ share a lot of the same altruistic qualities. Not that I'm any expert. I guess that's where it comes down to the cognitive functions.
Maybe an idea for a new series: Types who have been found guilty, can have a discussion with Eric, who then is not the Type Police , but the Type Judge. They can choose to defend their own case, or someone else who believes they're the original type can defend them. Or maybe someone else is the Judge, and Both Eric and the other are both lawyers defending their ideas
PowerRedBull I second that. They have to be their own layer. Really, if this keeps getting bigger soon enough Eric will start doing reality TV on the cops life. Getting to respond to comments, being accused of misuse of police force. We see the other side of the coin.
there are so many INFJ... and nobody knows if it is for real, so would it be possible to show a few infj-suspects and we have to pickout the one you think to be the true infj....?
Well people can become so locked up in their own minded that they are blind to certain aspects of their personality. Getting an outside perspective definitely helps.
One way to figure out if someone is INFP or INFJ is to use intertype relations theory. If he's INFP, he should resemble ISFP/INTP. If he's INFJ, he should resemble INTJ/ISFJ.
@elemental theory INFJs can be boring too, although i agree not as much as ISFJ. the similarity between these two types is in their preoccupation with right vs wrong way of doing things. also both these types are very ethics focused.
@elemental theory yeah, i'm not saying INFJs and ISFJs get along. i'm just saying they can look similar at times. the relationship is called 'look-a-like' in socionics. it's when the even numbered functions are the same. it's called a 'look-a-like' relationship b/c these two types can look similar.
@elemental theory and clearly you're determined to elevate INFJs above other types. INFJs can be boring because all people can be boring. Erik Thor is an INFJ who is super boring to listen to, although probably right about a lot of things. Look-a-like relations are not my idea, that's a well known intertype relation in socionics.
@elemental theory 'Boring INFJ' and 'interesting ISFJ' are not some kind of oxymoron as you seem to believe. I don't use those terms as if they are an exception to the rule. INFJs are not fascinating by default, and ISFJs are not boring by default. That's just some dumbass notion, probably being spread by egomaniac INFJ's, and fanboy ENTPs. No one's elevating your type bro. You're the one who's putting yourself on a pedestal. It's OK, I understand, you're one of those INFJ's who has some kind of mild to severe narcissistic personality disorder wherein they think everyone else sees them as super special, as your posts show. You're projecting your own inflated beliefs about your type onto me.
Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but if I recall, FJ has actually stated before that it's entirely possible he may be mistyped. He has maintained, however, that he believes he's infj. So do I. Many, many of his experiences have mirrored my own, and I always test infj. I will say, I don't necessarily think mbti is exactly accurate. There's a reason it's considered a pseudoscience. But there's a lot of truth in it, most definitely. One has to consider an individual's personal experiences, such as upbringing. We all have all 8 cognitive functions. Everyone in a particular type group is not going to be the same. But I respect the opinions of others.
I’m and ENTP but I don’t always seem like an ENTP cause I have high Ne and Ni I also have high Ti and high Te. I’m even more logical than most ENTPs with extremely high Ti. Im like a messy disorganized INTJ that likes people and new ideas 😂 I still can’t understand myself.
I think you got it wrong man I’ve always tested as an INFJ and Frank described exactly what I struggle with a lot in the second video. Just having people unload on me and then when it starts to feel draining or like they’re all take and no give I feel resentful and have to cut ties for a while. Happens to me frequently. Even just being in the same space as someone who’s stressed out gives me anxiety because I can feel that energy radiating off of them. At work I always leave the room when someone’s in that kinda mood. Who knows maybe that makes me an INFP as well but I’ve always scored around 95% J on those tests. Idk man feels like you don’t really understand the INFJ perspective yourself. No offense though I think the video is cool, just that part of it felt like you were misunderstanding what INFJs feel in that sort of situation.
Just remember tests are not the best way to go. There's a lot of factors that can affect the accuracy of an online test. If you want to make sure you're an INFJ please use other techniques that are more accurate.
Ohhhhh come on guys, FJ aint an Infp. let's take his word for it. He's an Infj. I mean, his expositions are VERY abstract, conceptual, and all that points to an intuition dominated mind. Based on what he has presented in his vids, and described empirically, he has Fe...not Fi! The more you watch his videos the more you will agree with him!
Ive seen tons of his videos. I think he is infj. The toothache video is not a typical FJ video. As soon as I saw that was the video Type Police was going to use, I correctly predicted to myself he would be “thrown in jail”. He was under physical pain, plus he just had a breakup, plus TP just interviewed his ex so all this added up to him going to Type Prison. I can’t say which of the many vids FJ made best illustrate his type, but Over time I found myself identifying a lot with some of his outlooks and experiences in dealing with life. It’s fun to try and figure out someones Type based on limited information, but one has to be honest that we cannot always know.
All day long! I watch tons of his stuff too (INFJ). If he was a strong Fi user I'd feel quite a disconnect with him as I do with INFPs. I can find interest in their take on things but I'll never feel that they're like me in any way. That's how I feel about Leon from Type Tips - he's an obvious INFP.
I've been watching his videos since he started his channels too. I actually enjoy them. He shares some entertaining experiences. I like listening to him talk about the scripts he's written. I also enjoy his emphasis of the good old bubbly black. That "gee-tar!?" Oh, yes. The gee-tar. But, how about that tooth ache? I don't know though. Tough to tell if he's more like Kurt Cobain or Pauly Shore. One thing's for sure: He sure isn't close to any Michael Pierce. I don't care how subjective the objective ends have justified the means with a healthy dose of Fe blind. The bigger the INFJ hat... The smaller the INFJ heart. Perhaps sad. But, True.
I think your understanding of Fi and Fe is coming from a Fi polar and 3rd spot (Ti) Fe. I think Fi polar doesnt value Fi and 3rd Fe is more image conscious but less effective than 2nd Fe which does value Fi higher than Fi polar. Being nature's counselor, INFJs tend to have people come to them wirh their problems. I find it fullfills my heart but physically drains my body where I need to recoup. I wish I was extroverted so maybe I could handle it better. But setting boundaries with others and self care is part of the maturing process.
The type police is a very Politically Incorrect concept and only an ENTP could realy have done it ! I love it ! Congratulations this idea is a winner !! I think that in the end of the day it is a win/win situation cause if you're dealing with a geniune usurper, it can help him and protect the community ( the newbies)from been purposely misinformed. On the other hand if you're dealing with someone who has mistyped himself out of a lack of understanding or only by reliying on oneline tests, it could help him and, if he/she has been correctly typed by you in the process or at least untyped by process of elimination, it could help him and others cause he/she would have learned the lesson the.....hard way !
Hmm I think it might need clarification, what you’re saying about the feelings, because I always feel completely drained by what other people want or need from me as an INFJ. I can see how they’re reacting to what I say and when there’s discord or some hint that I’m doing something that isn’t received well, it hurts and I need to fix it. I’ve heard infj needs objective harmony where infp needs personal harmony. I need there not to be dislike or anger, negative emotions or it sets me into anxiety. When I enter a room I can feel the overall energy of it and can be drained by this - it is why I always need to limit my time out unless I’m drinking. Feel like infps know from their experience what people are feeling but when they’ve never experienced it, they cannot relate. They also value their own feelings more and don’t mind the discord as much
My understanding of it is it can be draining for both high Fe and high Fi users, but Fe would build anxiety from the discord and try to solve it at any cost without breaking the relationship. On the other end Fi users would build resentment from the discord and try to defend their own feelings (fight or flee) with less regards for maintaining the relationship if they are not happy with the outcome Fe in conflict: Wants to talk about it if overwhelmed, usually discusses issue without raising their voice, wants to find compromise on issue, expects the other to keep harmony and never to yell at them even if very frustrated Fi in conflict: Wants to be alone if overwhelmed, likely loud heated arguments, wants sincere apology, expects the other to understand them (use of silence treatment)
@@Nooom91 Oo no - I think strong Fe users have heated arguments and Fi users evoke a sense of calm. I'm INFJ and (maybe also due to Se) I can become quite shouty whilst my INFP sister never does. I think there's a misconception about Fe with some people wherein they think it's some kind of cutesy function but it's actually not afraid of drama.
INFJs want to "manage people" because we are feeling overwhelmed... Frank is talking about overwhelm, not about the importance of feelings. Yeah, we do not like conflict, we do not want to hurt other people because we want harmony. We get disrupted in our inner worlds (Ni) when something is happening (to us or to others), good or bad, we feel it and it drains us. It is a struggle and we are sometimes not as nice and understanding as we are perceived, in an unhealthy state we are people pleasers, we also idealise, after introspecting we might suddenly tell you what we do not like about you, but often, we do not come to a conclusion until we burn out and something has to change. Then, we might door slam you or expect you to do something because we do not know how to go on. INFPs, as I understand it, value relationships and secure attachments. What Frank means by "intellectual process" is that INFPs listen and then through reflecting take on emotions as their own, by kind of rebuilding them inside them. INFJs suck up what another person is feeling at that moment through "vibes" they are sending out. That is what he meant by "sponge". By thinking about it, we then evaluate the situation to make sense of it. So yeah, this is intellectual too, but it might take us long to come to a conclusion about the matter. While an INFP might choose not to empathise if they do not like the emotion at hand, an INFJ might not make a difference between the emotion they felt was by this person and their own feeling till they maybe shut down and become cold, kind of stop feeling because they feel like it is too much. To me, what Frank says makes a lot of sense and I heard other (supposed) INFJs talking about this, too, also it fits my own experience. Also, I tested as INFP when I took Myers-Briggs, but by looking at the information (e.g. about the functions) and the people claiming to be INFJs or INFPs, I am quite sure that I am an INFJ.
I don't know, but I see a lot of INFJ videos talking about feeling burdened by other people's emotions and being unloaded or dumped on and feeling pushed on. He isn't alone in that aspect. But then again I think, truthfully a lot of "INFJ" videos describe a lot of experiences related to being human and not just "INFJ", thus why I suspect there exists a lot of INFJ typing online. People are identifying with the openness of the speakers. A lot of the internet seems being brutally open about self and experiences, thoughts and feelings = "INFJ". This experience highlighted, I don't fully share, Yes I've had people unload stuff, and I can feel a bit worn out or pick up their anxiety, but my thoughts during the time tend to be towards trying to help the person find a solution to their problem as well as validate their emotions at the time. Saying "No" comes hard but if I am pushed to it, I'll go through my mind visualizing whether I want to cut them off or if I want to just stay there nod along and wait for a moment to speak up or exit myself. When it comes to giving and the chance of future resentment I kind of analyze it pretty early on and decide if I'm going to be resentful later, then I won't give my time. Simple as that.
How would adding the information of him being an HSP add to or change your observations? What if he is helping others by purposely doing videos on his weaknesses so others relate and feel less awkward in this world. Frank's channel was never meant to be a typing channel per se but instead a place where people who feel like strangers in a strange world could gather and feel comfortable. Did you ever think that perhaps he also came from a drama background such as doing plays which influences how he creates his art. In the end, I don't believe he ever thought he would have more than 500 viewers and the reason he has 30 thousand is that he attempts to be entertaining and yet real and authentic at the same time. And as an infj myself, when I know there are eyes on me, I can come across as awkward or fake or incredibly intelligent. But, after he makes a video and posts it, if Frank feels that he has helped a couple people who are suffering from the same types of feelings that he is suffering from then it was worth it. I spent most of my life waiting to get out of this life because I don't understand it and I don't understand people. But in about 3 minutes, I can make anyone feel as if they are known and understood and honestly cared about. That's the part of me that is an empath. So I guess what I'm saying is maybe sometimes it's harder to type with the rarest of the rare especially when you have to factor in a highly sensitive person, perhaps genetic depression, and the need to appear as worthwhile and in control to others and truly never wanting to hurt another person's feelings. And in the end, you don't pay attention to how you really feel and you don't really take care of yourself. My joy in life has always had to come from knowing that I brought joy to someone else. And because I'm so aware of each individual person that is near me and it's easy to become more animated or less emotional and more scientific in order to match the other person, It doesn't make me a fake. Makes me an insecure person who has the demon of depression on my back and too much love in my heart to see anyone hurt and not do something about it. Maybe that makes me an abcd? And as for looking straight into camera, about 99.9% of people know that Frank James has green eyes because if you went through all of his videos you see that most of them he's staring right at you. He just got a new camera instead of looking at himself as he's talking he has to look into the blank lens and then off to the side he can see himself. Isn't almost everyone a little insecure about what they look especially when they're spilling their guts. Sorry to take up so much for your time, Officer. Most sincerely, Carly
If he's not an INFJ, he's definitely not an INFP, I don't recognize myself in him, except for the general introverted disposition. He has Se somewhere, and just because he was talking about his physical experiences, this does not equate to Si. He has a "showman" quality, that's why I say Se. I don't see a lot of Fi at all. INFP's are not typically that dramatic when telling a story, and if we are, it's different, because we don't exaggerate our emotional responses. Blind Te in his lack of concise way of explaining things. I would type him as an INFJ, but maybe he's not himself in his videos, so it's hard to see.
I predicted an INFP might come along and say they don't recognise him as their type because to me it's very clear he's INFJ. It seems that INFJs are seeing that he's INFJ and other INFPs would probably also say he's not like them. It's only (largely?) NTs who are saying he's not INFJ for some reason. I was also going to make the point elsewhere that he's too showy for an INFP - we can be that way due to Fe/Se. I think maybe people on here are used to seeing very watery INFJs like that Opaloid guy.
Allie B Yes! Of course the types manifest in so many different ways. INFP's can be very perfectionistic, but more so when it comes to being natural and feeling consistent with who we are internally. INFJ's seem more perfectionistic in their "vision" of their message and that message being understood by others, so they are welcoming and inviting everyone in to be alongside them. Both types want to be authentic and do have a message for the world, but go about it so differently. Also both often consider themselves empathetic, although anyone can be, but how we deal with the situation is different.
Maybe he is confusing ENFP and INFP. Like my sister can definitely just "feel" people's emotions and is very aware of their motivations. I can do that... but I really more often intellectualize it and put myself in another's shoes to do that. But I'm also not one for trying to socially engineer anything.... But.... maybe... I have Fe??? But if I am a true ENFP, then I have Fe in my 6th slot so it would kind of "overlook" on everything... Though... my mind is so confused... Who's to know who is right about all of this information? I've been really wondering lately who is right and what actually are these functions.... And... another thing... what is a direct effect of a function and what is a singularly personal experience?
Well... Fe is about perceptions and what others think. You countervalue that, which just means you don't think we ought prioritize appearances when they conflict with other considerations. Assuming you're ENFP, that is. ENFPs are "good at Fe," which means they play as authentic to other intuitives, while 6th slot ESFP Fe plays as fake and forceful.
Michelle Wilson where do you get your information? After I heard INFJ’s are overly caring, always putting others first (like Mother Theresa) I thought that’s not me - I seem cold until I get to know people and I have very few friends, but I’m fiercely loyal to people I care about - I put them ahead of myself. I’m still searching for the answers.
About what you said of the frustration of INFJ of not knowing what’s real and what’s responsive to their social engineering, i think it’s more than frustration.
I want to see Eric do some more critical research because though you say in the comments “you could be wrong” that doesn’t translate in what’s being projected through these videos. Someone only goes to jail when all of the facts are presented and judged equally. What you’re doing is bringing someone to a court where you’re the judge, and they don’t get a lawyer OR a chance to testify. Things you could be teaching instead: 1. The value of adequate research 2. How same functions can (at surface level) appear differently on different people 3. What’s the point of any of this? It’s clear you have some desire to teach or verbalize your opinion. But for what use? Is it so people can learn more about the functions? Actually improve their lives? Is this just for entertainment?
I suspected Frank of being INFP at first sight , and although he may very well be, only he truly knows despite the scrutiny of others. What he states about INFJ’s is rather spot on, INFJ are more often than not emotional empaths ( sponges) of the woes of others, and the many habitual habits of INFJ’s he describes are accurate,. Not to mention that part about stating that INFJ come to the conclusion of other peoples feeling through an intellectual route is inaccurate , thats INFP. Basically INFP’s can be emotional empaths aswell but they distance themselves from the emotional contagion and see things more (subjectively) project themselves in the others persons shoes (sympathy) and that helps them see more productive solution as opposed to feeling overwhelmed or bogged down by the other. Yes, INFJ’s have Ti which helps them come to calculated conclusions but not in real time which is why its not a parent function, it simmers in the background, but there Ni works as a fly catcher for alot of junk. INFP, s have Ne as a parent which helps make connections to find a source , and find probable and multiple solutions. Heres another reason why you might be wrong about Frank, he’s a four on the ennegram, and INFJ 4’s attend to look more unceuth and hippie, its part of their expressive nature given the overwhelming emotions that they have knowledge of the human experience, if you look carefully , even though he looks random and messy , there is order in his madness, look at his room, look at his style and even his cadence in voice, he may just lean heavier in the individual aspect of the 4 and learned to suppress the placateness of his Fe.
- The moments people describe traits of the type they think they are or even actually are, is the least trustworthy moment to classify them, because unless the type they describe is really opposite from themselves, they can much more easily find a way to recognize themself in a description. It's the least 'raw' moment to see them just act without thinking about it much. - The fact that he does not "dress randomy, but with an an order in his syle" , does actually fit the INFP better than dressing totally random. INFP's usually have a distinct style (somewhat non mainstream) style they go for in order to expres their unique self, and usually do invest time and effort in making their style look consistant. - to state that "only he knows his type despite the scrutiny of others" is not correct. It is implied here that the individual themselves somehow are more right about their own typing, because they are the ones that are being typed? It even goes as far as saying that one 'knows' their own type, as if ones own subjective idea about their own is somehow just always true. That makes no logical sense. That seems like an Fi-statement. It is possible an individual is incorrect about their typing, but others are right. It's also possible both parties are right, or neither parties are right about the correct typing of a person.
PowerRedBull INFJ’s have a tendency to dress more conservatively, with solid bright colors but not off color, they pay attention to symmetry and presentation. Although , INFP, have a less conformist style “less mainstream” they often dress abstract (random), where things can often miss and match, they can also dress mainly for comfort, but given that he is a 4, i would imagine he would focus more on unique individual presentation which would differ from the atypical INFJ. As far as him knowing better , well, indeed personality theory is subjective , we cannot truely quantify peoples personas , but only in part because the identity is intangible, as the basis of most psychology, its alot of hit and mis not to mention , it does not fit neatly in a box. However, because only he can answer particular questions of his temperament and has unique introspection to himself, he is in a position others are not, that is not without saying he does not have biases, as we all do. He has also spent the most time with himself and is obviously studious in MBTI theory, So, i would say again he has the best odds of typing himself correctly whether that be with outside consulting of a second or third perspective in conjunction with his own.
@@rustycage7491 He is indeed in a position we're not in, but at the same time we're in a position he's not in. He knows things we do not know, but by knowing more and being within something, it can also make it harder to see somethings for what it really is. If you zoom in enough on anything, it becomes harder to see what it really is. One can not compare themselves as easily to others, as one is able to compare different persons who are both not the self, since in the latter case ones viewpoint-perspective is the same. One is looking at 2 other people in the external world. That's an optimal way to compare things. If you're within a vehicle, its harder to compare if your vehicle looks the same as other vehicles than if you one would just compare 2 vehicles outside the vehicle. The third party perspective at least provides the ability to compare from the same engle. Also, I would argue that it hugely depends on the type too, whether ones functions are optimal for self typing or not. I'd say sensors are probalbly more often wrong on their types than intuitives. Intuitives can look at things more abstractly (like one self), while the sensor does not have that ability to that extend. Also I'd guess that Ti is better for self observation than Fi, because Fi is more aimed on values and desires than truth.
PowerRedBull Ti is good for material observable objectivity , but Fi can help understand the motives that form people's beliefs and biases. Both very useful in typing
Sorry, but how do you reliably type someone based on how they present themselves in a (edited & produced) video? His channel is more about entertainment than MBTI. You must not know many entertainers or performers personally, as most will tell you there is not a 1:1 relationship between who they are and how they present themselves to an audience. You’re essentially typing “Frank James” the character.
I thought you might think so as you're INFJ and we seem to be able to recognise each other just from RUclips let alone the fact you dated him! I agree by the way.
@@pucokie Everyone probably has - I don't even agree with all the Type Police conclusions on here i.e. that the ESTP woman is ESFJ. But I don't think you're wrong in this case.
I get people that open up to me about a lot of things. At some point, I find a way to disengage politely. I don't have the energy for that nowadays. Personally, I'm not a big fan of some of these Fi vs. Fe descriptions. Anyone can imagine themselves in another person's bad situation, and conclude that it would suck. It does help if I've also had a similar experience. Really, if someone just got broken up with, it's not difficult to think "If that happened to me, I'd be sad." If you're capable of having empathy, then any type should be able to do that. Maybe the modern description of Fe gets mixed up with what being empathic is supposed to be.
I agree that INFJ understands other people’s motivations and perceptions rather than feel their feelings. Because they interact with the Fe, absorb through it, but inside the INFJ there is Ti.
This is a very old video, and not correct in conclusions, but it's just a type police video, not a real typing session. You should watch some of my newer vids.
LOL He's Infj... He's processing his emotions in his video by talking them out! i bet when he's done filming he's like is that what i'm actually feeling??? Cause i totally just said those things outloud..
Great point! I think this is similar to how Ne users sometimes need to talk out ideas and concepts. Fi users know how they feel but are afraid to air those feelings. Once you pass the ball into another person's court, Fi can fear losing ownership.
You're forgetting a key point though... These videos are edited every 10 seconds so he's just NOT just rambling feelings unaware of it. He's completely aware of it by sharing how he feels openly and making sure his feelings is firmly expressed and that's an INFP not J
He’s not INFP. His eye movement pattern is in line with extroverted sensing, and his body language is too relaxed and natural, which also indicates extroverted sensing. I don’t think he’s infj either though.
Hi Eric, I just started watching your channel so I'm sorry if I'm asking an already-answered question, but your descriptions of Fe vs Fi are turning my understanding upside-down. I've heard from others that Fe is capable of true empathy whereas Fi is capable of sympathy, and Fe absorbs from the emotional climate, whereas Fi-users only relate to others through an understanding of their own feelings (and thus can also be seen as selfish). For a while I was questioning whether I was actually an INTP or perhaps an INFP. I'm actually still not 100% certain and open to input. But after a lot of research I tentatively settled on the conclusion that INTP with more developed aspirational inferior Fe, which seemed more feasible than INFP. However, since my typing was hinged mainly on the difference between Fe and Fi, by seemingly reversing the definitions I've come to accept as true, you have me questioning whether I'm an INFP again. Thanks 😀 My question is: from where do your definitions of Fe and Fi originate? Or could you possibly elaborate on what you make this distinction and clearly expound upon the differences? Is there a video you've already made that you think would be helpful? I just see it as more plausible that I'm an INTP with perhaps better Fe than the stereotypical INTP, as opposed to being an INFP who values logic. I'm fairly certain my mother is an INFP (who also has borderline personality disorder), which makes what I perceive the distinctions between Fi and Fe to be more apparent to me. I just can't see myself being an Fi dom, regardless of how I've heard Fi can resemble a Ti framework. It takes me _so long_ to figure out how I feel and what I really want and value. When my mom would ask me what I wanted for Christmas as a kid, I would say, "I don't know." "How do you feel?" Me: "Let me think about that and get back to you." It's often not until I can remove myself from a social situation and contemplate in solitude that I figure out what I actually feel. I hate shopping (okay, there's some Fi lol), but when I do go shopping, if I see something I think I like, I leave the store without buying anything and go home and sleep on it to figure out if I actually like the item in question. Although I did relate to a lot of what Frank James said in this video. 🤔 People use me as a sounding board, and as much as I've tried to set stronger boundaries, I still self-sabotage by continuing to listen whilst building resentment. I'm probably most certain about using the Ne/Si axis, although I have had people try to convince me I'm an INFJ. Interestingly enough, it was a self-proclaimed INFJ on Frank's channel that asserted my Fe-use made me an INFJ and that I didn't realize I was using Ni. 🙄 It may be worth noting this person also seemed to confuse Ni with Si. All that being said, I'd like to consider myself unbiased (aside from a certain amount of bias that seems to be inherent in the human experience)... Well, let's just say I strive towards eliminating bias, so I have no emotional investment in being one type or the other. I really just want to know which model, or taxonomy, as you might clarify, is correct once and for all. I'm keeping an open mind to new possibilities as well. Please educate me!
Hi Heather, I relate to a lot of what you’ve expressed...seeing INTP and INFP (some days even INFJ) as possibilities, yet not seeming like a true representative of any of them; taking forever to know what I want or what I’m feeling, sometimes never coming to a conclusion; needing time after an experience, especially after interacting with others, to process how I feel, etc. It seems like I have the capacity to both sympathize (understand because of my own experience) and empathize (feel “with” moods and emotions of others in real time), but the skills of response (in either case) are another matter...something I’m still trying to learn. A lot of this, I believe, has to do with childhood circumstances, where my feelings, wants, and needs were irrelevant and chronically dismissed...essentially, my “job,” in my parents eyes, was to be who THEY needed me to be. In their eyes, I was there to meet THEIR needs, not vice versa.
Maybe you just don't fit in neatly into the matrix. I mean, imagine that - right? You might not snugly fit into a measly 16 archetypes. It doesn't mean you don't have a place, it only means you don't have a place ***in the system*** (as it's practiced).
I am an INFP, I love INFJs but somehow dont get along with INFPs. I watched like 5 FJ vids and couldn't really continue lol. He's adorable and expressive and I can see why he's relatable but since I don't seem to LOVE him alot, clear sign of INFP i guess (jk...but not really)
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople Ahh I believed he was INFJ from the start! There was a video of him explaining and breaking down INFJ and ISFJs functions and he fitted the INFJs perfectly.
Sorry, but I don't think you know that much about INFJs, because pretty much everything that he's talking about is true and are well known to be INFJ attributes.
Nope. Do you think that us INFJs just never talk about our health? Of course we do - we're just human like everyone else. MJ said we have Si as a role function so it's where a lot of our fears are located. And as for the 'struggling explaining things' - Ni is difficult to get into language - we have to go through a process using Fe and Ti to do it and that all takes time. That's why if I were to make RUclips videos I'd have prompts next to me to keep me on track. As it is FJ tends to cut out a lot of his pausing time in the longer videos. It's strong Ne/Se/Te users who are good at verbalising their thoughts quickly. It's irritating actually as I already explained all this in a long comment further down but the poster has deleted his post so my comment has also gone. I relate to FJ way too much for him to be INFP as we share no functions - they always seem quite alien to me. Plus the INFPs on here are saying 'Not one of ours guv'.
If he were an INFP, i would think that the stories he would be retelling that involve the introverted sensing function would be a more positive thing for him that would be giving him energy because INFPs prefer introverted sensing to extroverted sensing.
He appears more INFJ to me in this vid as he talks about psychoanalyzing a person in an abstract way where he is not in touch with the present moment. I can relate to that and been told by another that I psychoanalyze. Its just the way my mind works to understand people but sometimes I lose touch with being in the present moment and using enough Fe. I suppose its bit of a NiTi loop. He also talks about the big picture and wanting to know the end goal in his work which seems NJ to me. He did reference DaveSuperPowers Ni definition but his further does seem more Ni oriented to me. Dave was also on FJs podcast if you want to listen to them both in two way convo. The podcast link should be on FJs channel. ruclips.net/video/LiIsg2KaW8w/видео.html
H.E. My comments are really directed directly towards you. Some of the other viewers are hitting it off with me but apparently some of my comments have drawn somewhat negative. My BPD (emotional disregulation) has been in full flare in the very recent days. In my own mind this explains a bit why I'm hyper-giddy to have found the channel. But if viewers behave like the locals where I live (i.e. provincial--"You can't join our club") I am likely to disappear quickly. I can't take rejection. I write here because this old video is less likely to attract attention. The videos are long, which makes it difficult to listen to the entire video. Yet I don't want to miss a moment. Really unusual for me to enjoy a channel so much. I am not interested in typology. I conclude it must be your charisma. I'm always a little wary of charisma. But I like yours. Why is that unwelcome here? Or is this just my imagination? I need someone to listen. 12:30 The acronyms continue to alienate me.
I was thinking about 6th slot "countervalue". And i was thinking that my relationship with my own Ni is different that with other's Ni. In my case, im very aware of it, but i don't trust it. It may have to do with the fact that i can't validate the knowledge with Ti. So i dont trust it but i dont dismiss it either. Its kind of there. If i was made to sit in my own Ni, i think it would be exhausting. Cause it would raise so many avenues that i would then need to check. What if for infjs, they experience the feelings all the time, but its too particular if it conflicts with their Ni. So they always have this Fi in the background. And having ppl make them experience that by sharing their feelings makes it exhausting because it triggers their own Fi response. And then all they experience needs to somehow fit into their Ni worldview. Which seems like a lot of work. Idk if this applies to all type.
Um, I heard Fe described similarly in a podcast, Personality Hacker. They have a vid on both INFJ and INFP, they explain Fe like a radar, and Fi as going through a filter kind of...So...Im confused. He seems Fe to me. Im still learning though, but I dont understand how hes wrong at all...
never really watched frank james but in that last video he is a dead ringer for an INFP in my life. i relate somewhat to his feeling drained from "emotional baggage." but i'm an INTJ HSP. too bad there's not much content on it.
Hey this is random but I took the test MBTI test like 6 months apart, at first I got INTP, second I got INFJ. I resonate with both. What do you make of that? I don’t have any videos of myself up, I’m just asking. ... I like James I’ve been following him, but I don’t feel very similar to him.
TJmusic24 I got the same thing. P first, then J. Then I read some stuff and thought I related to ISFJ. So if he’s not INFJ, I wonder what he is? Some things I relate to and some I don’t, so it would help to know what he actually is.
*Classical INFP* : Very dramatic/whiny/chidlike/the general orientation is the self and his feelings/experiences A lot of his videos do not seem that Fe aimed at the people either, but just himself and his FI-Si experiences where he often deviates from whatever he explaining, only to wonder about something totally unrelated next. He was starting this other video about some subject, and suddenly was wondering about something like night/day or the amount of days in a year-something and it took minutes for him to finish that before he got sorta back on the topic. He deviated like 3 times before he even got on topic to begin with. These devations were very Ne. I typed a long list of things why I thought was an INFP in one of his video's comment sections, because of particular things he all did all seemed INFP-ish, but can't seem to find it back. Not sure if the comment is deleted either (not sure if we commenters can even see it - but he never replied to it). If anyone finds it, please let me know. (even his styling is stereotypical artsy looking INFP. The hair, the guitar, and the sort of retro clothing some other videos - He also lives with his parent(s) - which is way more typically INFP than INFJ too)
I don't have time to list all the reasons why he's an obvious INFJ but I listed a few in a comment reply somewhere above. I'm kind of surprised that it's not as obvious as I thought though. Also not meaning to be rude but PRB doesn't think Meghan LeVota is ENFJ so I have to wonder whether he has problems recognising NFJs. Maybe his gf is an ESFP or something like that?
@M J '9 times out of 10 an INFJ will proceed to make fun of themselves.' Yeah that's another thing about him that I relate to - he's self-deprecating and I don't seem to see this in INFPs. It hasn't been noticed on here but he very often does a kind of smirk/ironic snigger thing if he does something wrong - say with the tech or whatever - which is actually mocking himself. I do that fairly often so I recognise it. I can at times have that Fe/Se energy thing where I make people laugh and get a kick out of it but overall he's more comical than me - I think I was more like that years ago. And come on - his Fe comedy faces - he's so full of expression! Also some people claiming he's too into Si stuff - well INFJs do actually bother with their health at times. It's not like we just let everything go and never go to the dentist or doctors - that would just be dumb. Some INFJs even do 'clean eating' and are vegans (not just due to political views).
@M J You state "He is Fe > Fi because he accurately describes the INFJ Fe process". The least trustworthy moment to type anyone is when a person describes their type by a textbook type description. It's a much better source to see how types behave when they not literally talk about their own type. Of course they're generally going to be right if they bassically just describe the typical description of a type, since they believe it's them. It's much more accurate to see if they actually ACT the way the type is supposed to act, preferably by observe them doing or saying about things that are a bit further removed from type descriptions to so they display a more "raw" view on their true self.
@@user-jb2dd2hd8i You state "Maybe it's the Fe users who are whiny since they make misinformed and biased claims about Fi when they have no clue what the function is actually like". This is incorrect. Even if someone makes a poor description or observation of a type, as you suggest I do, than that does not automatically mean that suddenly "Fe users are whiny", because I used the word 'whiny'. If I would inaccuratly describe you to be a female, it would not mean I was suddenly a female by thinking you are a female. This would simply mean I would would be wrong. (Not that I think I'm wrong)
We feel other people's feelings but we get into the pattern and reason behind it . How to solve the problem ? If we can summarize the advice for the root cause of the emotion or problem . Because absorbing other people's emotions tires us. So better to end it, To feel calm and at peace. Which I feel when I am alone. I can shut my Fe . This happens when there is nothing to heal the situation. Here I can be cold. When I shut my Fe down for any reason , I am in Ni and Ti. I am cold and indifferent or extremely angry. I can shut my Fe down at well. And feel nothing. It is about doing something with what I pick upon from those feelings. Otherwise it is pointless to process surrgoutlly for others. I am an INFJ. I think he is an INFP.
FJ did an MBTI test for his viewers and did not get INFJ, which he laughed about. I’ve taken the test various times, and have gotten different types, but INFJ more often than not. I think there is probably overlap? Your comments about INFJ certainly rang true with me, I thought they were very astute. But jail time for FJ? If Hillary Clinton didn’t go to jail, FJ certainly won’t.
Hey lady, listen. Sometimes we beat up and arrest someone and taze him and loose the K9s and such. That's just part of the job. And sure, sometimes it's the wrong guy. And sure, sometimes that's because we're lazy, sloppy, but sometimes it's just because we do investigations deemed by various officials as "lack-luster," "unprofessional," "haphazard," and even "woefully incompetent." But you gotta remember, sister. Lives are at stake every time we climb into that squad car. We're the thin blue line between you and typological armageddon. So don't question the Type Police! What are you gonna do when you come across a fake INFP one night in a dark alley? Call the regular police? I don't think so.
I think I've had dreams about this comment section. If FJ is an INFP, he will no longer have his initials in his type and everything will be ruined! RUINED! His videos have made me question Fe so much, if his description of Fe was actually Fi, that makes me extra sure that I'm not an F type at all because I don't relate to either of those concepts you've presented. (Right now I think I'm INTJ with tertiary Fi) These videos make me wish I did more talking videos, I want to be put under scrutiny. 😜
Hey Stephanie! Did you see pucokie's chat with the INFP a few days ago? That was helpful for me in distinguishing Fi and Fe. When the INFP described having a well-organized catalog of feelings, I was like ooooh no, I'm emotionally intelligent but not in that way. I also can relate to projecting a warmer demeanor than I feel inwardly. I often have an agenda or goal I'm working towards. Fe as a tool is pretty spot on for me. For what it's worth if you are INTJ, you're a particularly amiable one :)
@@jlryder97 'I also can relate to projecting a warmer demeanor than I feel inwardly.' - Exactly the same for me. I do it to seem sociable or not rude or just 'cause I feel it's expected of me in that moment - that kind of thing. I suppose that's why some NTs think INFJs are fake - I hadn't analysed it til I saw them say that. After seeing them say that and analysing it, I realised I'm not meaning to be fake - this Fe thing just kicks in without me summoning it especially (or even mainly) with strangers. The more I know someone the less I bother with seeming socially appropriate; I let my true Ni self out bit by bit as I get to know someone. So maybe the Fe is similar to a defence mechanism 'cause I'm wary of someone new.
Survival Fe! Lol! :) Traveling abroad hones the Fe for me. Which is such a relief because a lot of Te is demanded of me in my job and by close family members.
@@jlryder97 Thanks! I will say that when I talked it through with a few close friends (and a few friends who know about MBTI), it became a lot easier to attribute my general aura of positivity to practice and habits, and it's not how I naturally was as a kid. I built a habit of smiling all the time when I was little because I didn't want people to bother me! (ie kids running up asking "What's wrong?" because I would walk by myself at recess looking at the ground) It wasn't fake, I genuinely couldn't think of anything wrong, so I just decided to smile. That habit was harder to get rid of than it was to keep, and I kept making friends and stuff, so I just became "the girl who smiles a lot." And then speaking of Te, my job is teaching music to elementary age kids. I'm facilitating a huge amount of problem solving on a mass scale, all day. Ultimately my goal is to give students the tools they need to solve their own musical problems. I do that fairly naturally, I think ;)
Stephanie Douglass >> Lol, you and me both! The stuff about his initials has been weighing heavy on my troubled mind too - what will this mean for him, what will this mean for the planet as a whole? Will the world as we know it cease to exist? Honestly though, I really HAVE been dreading this day and in a way I hoped it could be avoided. Every time I think about how he feels right now I get severe pain in my chest and kinda feel like throwing up. The perks of being an INFP I guess :p I do really wish and hope he can use this as a guidebook and a tool for growth, instead of a catalyst for the apocalypse. These things are of course easier to spot in retrospect, so if he just manages to chill for a little bit and doesn’t freak out too much and cause too much damage to himself I’m sure he will be able to see the bigger picture eventually. I still worry about his well-being this very moment though. Like a lot :/ Interesting we were talking about this yesterday before this was released, btw. ^^
mARTin L No. He counter-values Ne, has talked about his difficulties with Ti and explained his though process which is very Ni (visual, synthesising and symbolic). Also he is very Fe conscious not to offend anybody, not that INTPs cant be, but they usually are just formal with role Fi and poor Fe to avoid social mistakes. He has an interview with Ben Vaserlan, the only channel that features Model G in Socionics. If you watch it it’s pretty clear he is Beta Quadra, Dom Ni and has polr Te.
Sympathy vs empathy-Gives INFJ/INFP away every time. The INFJ is the authentic FE and other people’s emotions are absorbed, but only if we have a vested interest and despite our tree hugging, unicorn persona...cognitively INFJ’s truly, sacrificially love very few. We are kinda a holes and I don’t get the preoccupation.
Some back ground info on FJ. It was his brother who first told him he thought FJ was INFJ. FJ didnt take a test or get into MBTI until months after that event. He tested INFJ and started learning about it. I can see why people would type him INFP. That was my first thought with his artsy appearance and talking about feelings etc. He said he originally cut his vids to get rid of his pauses. I guess I didnt notice the Ne appearance ramblings. After being around Ne doms for so long, I subconsciously dont acknowledge it most of the time. Usually he looks in the camera a lot more and toothache vid was a bit out of his norm. It seems he's been doing some experimenting with vid angles and new cam since moving into his new place (He no longer lives with parents). He has some social anxiety. He does have a way of drawing people into him and so many people say they relate to him. Perhaps its Fi authenticity or actually working some Fe magic that may not be obvious. I'm not saying he isnt INFP or INFJ at this time. You make some interesting points. I can't think of anything obvious to say INFJ at the moment although my gut still says dont rule it out. I like FJ and will watch his vids no matter his type. I dont think feeling others feelings is an FI thing. I havent seen any self proclaimed INFPs say that and Ive seen some people claiming INFJ claim to feel others feelings. Even an ENTP friend told me he can pick up on others feelings. I'm not sure if that is something psychological or biological possibly thru dna etc. I've been dna tested and I have a gene that has increased empathy and supposedly 1 in 4 people have it. Personality Hackers had a blog about infj and infp feelings. Both their moms are said to be INFJ. I think I more intuitively know how someone may feel and may get a vibe but I dont think its that strong. But something does drain me when people are highly emotional. I also dont like to be in crowds long as I get drained by it and even when I talk to no one. Its the presence of people and I cant say I consciously feel much. It may be subconsciously. www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs53576(G;G)
All I see is INFJs in 'INFJ Women' on FB claiming to feel other people's feelings - it's part of being an empath. I have only felt someone else's mood on one occasion though and that's 'cause we had a toxic connection but it's definitely an Fe rather than an Fi thing. Frank is so INFJ it's funny - I'm amazed anyone wouldn't see it straight off. When I first came upon his channel I immediately felt the kindred spirit thing that I get when I see another INFJ - I never feel that with INFPs. He also has the 'distant but warm' Ni eyes that we all seem to share. Also people shouldn't go by how he dresses or the fact he has candles in his room (someone in this thread seems to think INFJs wouldn't have those). INFJs can be very into mood lighting and making our environment comfortable - I love lighting candles in the autumn/winter and I absolutely hate those fluorescent strip lights in offices. He's probably a 'highly sensitive person' which is nothing to do with type per se but I imagine that it's very common in IN**s. I am also one - well a borderline one. You basically overreact to sensory stimuli. He also has a lot of social anxiety which is far from uncommon with INFJs - it's all inferior Se related. I always find INFPs more sturdy in themselves so they don't seem to worry about the things we do in that sense.
@@AllieB-11.11 Yeah I have some type of sensory overstimulation thing going on sometimes. Low lights, prefer quiet, and time alone. I dont really do candles but I do have a salt rock lamp. Candles can be Se or Si (ritual) depending how you look at it. He does have those "distant but warm" eyes like my daughter has. When locked in, they can be warm. But when lost in Ni, they can be distant. I used to have to tap my daughter to focus on her school work. Now I understand that was probably Ni at work. Ive never really observed myself externally to see it. But I know I drift off at times. To be honest, FJ was the one to get me to start commenting on youtube again.
INFP can feel what other people feel. But we dont talk much about it. Just to some close relative that we trust... Because it is an introvert function.
To be honest I've wondered a couple of times about Frank's personality type, he is quite self-absorbed. However I also was at a young age, and pucoki also strikes me as quite self-absorbed. However, you obviously do not regularly follow Frank James channel h, and if you did you might know that now is not the best time to be attacking him. Maybe you should just let people have their delusions, if delusions they be.
Yes, I agree with you that now is not a good time to be attacking him. There never is a good time to be attacking people who are depressed and have social anxiety. It’s not kind or helpful in any way.
The only thing I’m sure of is I’m an I. I don’t know what the other 3 letters are and where to learn about it. The more videos I watch the more confused I’m getting, especially now that you’re saying FJ isn’t an FJ. Where can I learn what the differences are between internal and external everything except introverted/extroverted? I need to know and you seem to really understand - taking the test doesn’t help because I’m different depending on the day. Also I love cheese.
Funny idea for type police videos: In the end where they're "being send to jail" , some sound effect together with a visual effect of a big stamp like they use on files to say stuff like 'case closed" with the correct type. Or simply something like "GUILTY" , or ' "TO TYPE JAIL"or whatever..Just because it's funny and fits the theme
Talking with Famous People if you think editing in sounds is too much work, you can always let some other device let that sound play (like MP3 player) close to the microphone
An INFJ is aware of how other people feel but, not what they feel themselves. An INFP is aware of what other people think. INFP’s don’t listen because they’re interested in how someone feels, they only care how they feel themselves. You’re wrong Type Police. I deleted my initial comment because you did a better job clarifying towards the end of the video. Edit: correction below this comment about INFP’s and feeling.
Agreed about Fe (fe user myself). "INFP’s don’t listen because they’re interested in how someone feels, they only care how they feel themselves." - That might be a bit strongly worded. Also, I snooped this dude's channel, and he's kind of all over the place. His Big Five personality test results were very interesting. I actually find myself resonating with him quite a bit, in a way that I don't typically experience with Fi users. He puts on an engaging (albeit somewhat manic) show in some videos and is more contemplative and/or scatterbrained in others.... you know, he's a moody dude... I get that. Juries out for me.
I should rephrase. INFP’s care about feeling comfortable and not if you’re comfortable. That’s what I mean by that except combined comfort and feeling for some reason. To correct myself, they do care about feelings but, I think it’s more of an interest in what a person’s experienced and the decisions they want to make.
This comment made me think Franktipus, thank you. It opened up an interesting discussion with my INTP other half (I'm an INFP). We realise that I don't give a damn how he *feels* about a topic because I already know how I feel - but I have no idea what to *think* about a topic so tap his Ti. Alternately he doesn't give a damn what I *think* about a topic because he already knows what he thinks - he has no idea how to *feel* about a topic so taps my Fi. I agree that as an INFP despite feeling bad about it (my Fe Nemesis making me worry I'm a bad person?) I do ultimately care more about my own comfort. I try and be more mindful of others now but that has come with maturity and not something that comes naturally to me as an Fi user. I think the way in which an INFP was parented plays a huge role here. If an INFP is raised in a loving home where their needs were met and from that place of 'comfort' were taught that other people's feelings matter too then you get an entirely different flavour of INFP. I don't think its fair to say ALL INFP's don't care about other people's comfort. It is a learned skill.
As an INFJ, I strongly feel he is an INFJ because of relatability. But hey, maybe Im not actually INFJ. Only thing I cant relate to is his way of speaking. He seems to just... able to freely express his thoughts relatively well, in a detailed manner? Just bing bong bong bing (as Donald Trump would say). I dont know. But yeah, those "INFJ" eyes. I know you cant type just based on eyes, but... eyes...
But how is relatability a good argument? In theory you could have mistyped yourself and thus also identify with another mistyped person who thinks they're the same type? I am not saying you are mistyped...but in theory that is possible
I’m a little late chiming in on Frank here....however, after careful consideration, my guess is ESFP. I, too, see all the Fi, but that’s consistent with 2nd slot (and leads some ESFPs to feel they are introverted) and he radiates too much Se for it to be PoLR (as in an INFP) or even inferior (as in an INFJ).
just want to say a lot but or all comes down @ Eric enjoying this, and you are not only the right person to do this but also who can do this!!! and also chapeau that you are not afraid to pick out a 'big' guy with a lot of followers (devoted followers), what makes it even more tricky and interesting. because followers can react emotionally upset. the music theme great idear! and maybe the option that they can be on parole - not sure how to wright that. like that you are not editing
My english and nu autocorrect is blah, but think I mean to say put some of them in forarrest.... wow all the things jou can do with your new concept, I am sure lots of you tube watchers have been wanting and hoping a knowledgable person would stand-up and do this job👨✈️👏👍🏻
Definitely not an INFJ. Most likely ISFP (at least Fi Dom)... My thoughts. Strong Se presence. Strong Fi internal confidence or any real lack of care whether his topic connects with his audience in a Fe way. Fi/Se artistry with filming and editing and presentation that is very viceral yet also highly personal. Inferior Ni projection of a specific future scenario that may happen into a major concern as though it has already happened (my ISFP sister does this all the time amd I think it may have something to do with lack of seeing other Ne possibilities) Te? Exactly. Where was there any unless as narrated it was demonstrated in a completely over the top manner that far exceeded the needs of the situation. Anyway. Just my thoughts. Argue with me why I'm wrong. I just enjoy the game of working out types in my head and I never take anyone's personal word for it. Just can't. Goes against my grain. In fact it provokes me into taking the role of devil's advocate. Only way I can be sure in my mind.
And btw TWFP... I think you will need to go to jail as you don't stick to you own judgements as sergeant but revoke them too often which discredits yourself. Your findings mostly seem true to ke when you state them until you silly tertiary Fe hears others comments and i find you are dissuaded from the truth in the comments section. Stick to your initial unbiased intuition lol. Jokes... But seriously
Kurtis1996 Yeah hahaha. I commented to see how many people would believe she’s ENTP. “She’s all over the place, must be Ne”. No. Thats called Ti polr... Btw, I just saw your new video (was wandering about your type). That explained why you came across as Se and didn’t identify with Ne polr or inferior.
Kurtis1996 In that video you came across as STP. I noticed in the original video that you projected an Se image, but I discarded besides a marker that sensor>intuitive. From what I can recall you didn’t fit Ne porl and neither inferior. So having it as a role function makes sense, not valued but decent enough. I though you were more individualistic in a Fi sense, but in your comments you say you like to overcome your enemy, the glory etc.... that indicates Se over Si and Fe over Fi. I think is a solid typing for now. You don’t seem Ti polr, so no ESFP. You cared too much to disregard bad/contradictory information to find or validate a truth like what does X function in X place. So we discarded all intuitives, then both SFJs, ISTJ, SFPs. The ones remaining are ESTP, ISTP and ESTJ. ISTP is off, ESTJ has too much Te, so ESTP seems fair. On top of that your values are Beta>Delta in the video.
So , im not the only one who doesn't see FJ as an INFJ ...(had that impression from the first time i saw a vid of him and it only became stronger after that... especially that vid where he took the big5 and scored minimally on conscientiouness , he may have taken that vid down though , would not be surprised by that) ... The info he gives though is often pretty on point , as in : he does seem to have studied the functions. But when it comes to describing his own mental processes , it doesn't seem to come out in any ''Ni kind of way'' (organized and abstract) ...
I'd like to be policed too but I'm not a RUclipsr. 😂 But indeed, I resonate with INFJ and others' feelings: I am less likely to feel another person's feelings than to think about those feelings. I tend to follow the person's train of thought and assume what they feel along with those thoughts. It feels deep, I guess, but it all comes from a very mental place at first before it goes to the "heart." But what is it with INFJ and big eyes??? I notice too that a lot do that upward gaze when thinking.
We seem to have big eyes - my optometrist even commented on mine! We also stare off to the left/middle distance whilst thinking as if we're looking for a ship coming in on the horizon.
@@AllieB-11.11 I also have this sudden turning my eyes to the right when I'm absorbing things and then an AHA will follow. But the funniest is when I'm looking up, thinking, and people will look up too, wondering if there's something on the ceiling. 😂
Types with big eyes usually just have a small skull. So the size is just relatively big. (A smaller supporting bone structure for the eyes)/ People who take HGH (human growth hormone) or other steroids typically tend to get smaller eyes, because their cheekbones and browbones grow bigger, which makes the visibility of the eyes smaller and less round-ish.
@@PowerRedBullTypology Scientifically speaking, yes. Makes you wonder if there's a correlation between skull size/shape (or is it the orbits) and type. Personally though, I am not sure if it's the size of the eyes, exactly, or if it's the intensity of the gaze. (I've never met an East Asian INFJ so I can't say if one would have bigger eyes compared to other East Asians.)
The 16Personalities MBTI test often mistypes INFPs as INFJs (and INFJs as INFPs) so he may legitimately have gotten an INFJ result and now views all he reads about INFJs through the lens of *knowing* that's his type. It's an easy error to make and having a pretty big following it would be tough for him to admit not only to himself that he's been mistyped but even more so to his large audience of followers. Additionally RUclips is full of INFPs (hello) and that makes us feel common and bland...it's definitely tempting to imagine we're something we're not (a rare INFJ). I often worry that maybe I've mistyped myself (as an INFP) but all the things I hate about myself fit pretty neatly into an INFP box...so I am pretty sure I'm not delusional ;)
@@ChaoticallyMe - It could make sense that an INFP would think they're INFJ because INFP's are in a way quite 'judgy", cause their Fi judges stuff a lot . - Are there actually more INFP's than INFJ's on youtube? It seems to me there are more INFJ's, but of course somehow youtube could just suggest me a lot of INFJ videos and not a lot of INFP videos of course..
@@PowerRedBullTypology - Definitely understandable, I'm married to an INTP and we're both very judgey with his Ti and my Fi :) Good point about RUclips suggestions skewing our observations. For me I feel like I've stumbled across INFPs in several different 'genres' on RUclips (ASMR, Van Life-Vegan-Minimalists etc.) but also seem to stumble across INFPs a lot in the comments section of all kinds of videos. It could totally just be that the kinds of things I'm interested in watching are attracting other INFPs and giving me the impression that we're everywhere ;)
@@ChaoticallyMe I would say it's indeed very plausible that other INFPs have somewhat the same interests. I'd say that veganism has huge over representation of types like INFP's (possibly the most common type there - just a guess) Is it not hard being married to an INTP as INFP? It seems to me that whenever I'm with INFPs (i'm INTP) both seem so very stubborn about their judgements, that it seems hard to settle for stuff. They should be ethically correct and logically correct? They often seem contradictory.
I go to their house, put them in cuffs, and lock them in cages for months. There's a SUPER LOT of driving being in the type police, because I sometimes arrest people in several different countries in a single day..
Yeah, this guy’s an INFP. This is worrying, all this misinformation being spread by these RUclipsrs. You should do the INTJ/INFP cafe channel next for TypePolice. I believe their types are accurate, but the INFP girl seems really extroverted.
She's an interesting case I think. She does seem very extroverted in the videos, but at the same time not adaptable like ENFP's usually are. I'm not sure what to think of her. Her bunny ears and such seem quite INFP-like.
Calypso. Yeah, she goes down the road of some enfps insisting they are introverted. She recently did a video with an esfp. The dynamic was fascinating. I highly recommend watching that one.
My intuition tells me, your emotions are involved in this one. I think you like Pucokie and the fact that she dated this guy, which i didn't know, triggered your dominance instinct, making you want to character assassinate the guy to display your higher value. i could say i dont care if he's an infj or not, but i am a fan of him and my emotions could be getting in the way making this a fucking mess. you've set it yourself that your emotions get in the way of grading your students.
You are wrong here too! Frank James is an INFJ. He is an awesome INFJ. You have no clue. My family is INFJ and INFP people. You need to study more. Stop your judgement about all these people. You need to be fired. He inspires people. So how many people you get to like your page. He got millions and thousands of viewers you don’t come close. You are so wrong. Stop going after people. Stop judging. You have no right.
how did u guys type urselves? through cognitive functions? u seem to judge credibility based on how many people are subscribed to him and I’m guessing, maybe even judge intelligence based on grades
Congrats! This is the most annoying video I've ever encountered on RUclips. You really went above and beyond here. Incorrectly judging and typing another person would not have been annoying enough on its own. Thankfully, you added smoking, picking your teeth, and frequently pausing to make ignorant statements. Please don't quit your day job, as there's no award for this rare achievement.
Actually what you hate about this channel, I like. He's a real person...he's himself...just smokes and picks his teeth and whatever...that's who he is. I like that. But he is a bit full of himself and thinks he always knows the answer better than anyone else (which also reminds me of CS Joseph, another ENTP). But the "I know better than you...You all are stupid" is a little off putting to me. BUT it's ALSO being himself...so I guess that why I enjoy this channel. He's not fake.
Frank is 100% INFJ. I'm 100% INFJ and he is 100% like me. Honestly I don't think you chose his best videos. Also as most INFJs they are misunderstood. I guess this is the case right now as well.
My juror vote: Not guilty. He's an INFJ. Due to inferior SE, isn't it common for INFJs to neglect physical needs/ sensations (I.e., hunger, sleep) until it's often too late?? IMHO, I think it would be completely understandable for an INFJ to finally take notice & become freaked out by the toothache that has forced him into the present-tense, in-the-moment reality and out of the internalized dream world of NI. Those SE moments are usually anxiety-provoking for us. For myself as an INFJ, my memory and attention to detail is often enhanced during SE demanding events, especially for the emotions I am/was feeling at the time of the SE event. I would argue that THAT is exactly what we are seeing here with FJ. Furthermore, I understood SI to be memories about things in the past. Although the toothache was 1-2 weeks before the video, he was still describing his response to the event in the moment (SE). The details he provided were about his own perspective of the stressful SE event; otherwise, the info was pretty general and gave no indication of any tangible details (i.e., snowy weather, clothes he was wearing, how fast his brother was driving home). His memory was hyperfocused on his own SE experience of the event. And, again, he described his experience with heightened anxiety, suggesting that SE is low on his stack and not well developed.
Shannon Logue no it is also the case for Se at the 7th position/super-ego block Se Se is objective details for Ni memory Si is subjective details his response would seem to be subjective bcos he didnt focus on the tangible details like u said
That was a misstatement on my part, what I really meant was masculine energy, which is not necessarily type related and he has said it himself. As far as him being manly or not, that is much more subjective, and my opinion is really not relevant in that regard.
pucokie has said he is an alcoholic, unstable, feminine , dump him and made like 3 videos bashing him... I think she is a narcissist and he was his victim
Wait wait wait... What...? What's going on here...? So... You claim here he's infp...right? And in your video about FJ you claim he's definitely an infj. Sorry, i am confused. I know that you've probably changed your mind or something but still... I'm confused and i had to share my feelings. (Maybe because i struggle with typing myself and i need confirmation that i'm an infj, hah, never mind.) Great video btw❤
@@thereisnospoon1109 The reason why he changed his mind is cause he realized tht his judgement was wrong. Most likely because in the first place he didn't actually verify what his type is. Now in his response to you he won't even admit that at a point in time in this life that he was just flat out wrong and gives you a bs excuse to not look bad, because if he looks bad in front of us he's gonna feel bad himself. Good job for seeing his discrepancies.
@@thereisnospoon1109 iGet that and that's good tht you did, but him being a content creator who has a following that relies on him for the accuracy of the information that he puts out on his channel. He should be more direct about taking accountability for his mistakes rather than being indirect by alluding to him acknowledging tht he was wrong, but not actually making a concrete statement that he was. Sorry, but seeing tht bothers my Fe critic do much that ican'thelp but express my feelings on the matter, juss my opinion tho. Kudos to your sensibility and understanding
this is so interesting! because FJ has so many followers that we accept that he is the type he says. as with a lot of others with a large community. He is for sure a really funny and interesting guy. I am not experienced in typing but I do notice INFP is very good at listening, without giving advise
A lot of people saying FJ might be an INFP, but to be honest, I've been thinking he's more INTJ. While I relate to much of his videos, I've also found myself not relating sometimes too. He also comes across as unusually clinical and cold sometimes. The youtuber Ren's Room is a more accurate INFJ to me.
My INFJ boyfriend actually complains that I don’t dump ENOUGH emotions on him. He says he needs it to connect to me in a meaningful way. He doesn’t like when I show less of how I feel than him. Fe-dom people love when others open up to them, and they actually need it to connect to others. And this guy is talking quite a lot about how he feels, and never about how he is perceived or how he relates to others, which suggests Fi
When he said, "The truth is we can be a little cold at times." That's when I knew for sure he's either ENFP or INFP. Before that thought maybe ISTJ but that's something they wouldn't say. Fe critic/nemesis on display there. Plus his Ti trickster/demon is so obvious. Think he said something like, "Take whatever you wanna take from that" or something along those lines. Very obvious weak Ti and low Ni. His facial expression is that of an Fi user for sure, so he's absolutely not an INFJ. After watching the rest of the video and reading some of the comments, we can safely conclude he's INFP. The way he councils INFJ about them absorbing other people's emotions screams ENFJ shadow. ENFP talks slightly faster and more like they're talking to an audience (even if just a single person they're kinda like that). He's more like talking one on one. INFP 💯
INTP here. He strikes me as an INFP. I’ve known both INFPs and INFJs. I’ve seen what I call “dead face” in INFPs: their eyes look dead to emotion, as if they are staring in your direction, but not engaging with you or showing any emotion with their eyes. INFJs are more direct, inviting, and absorbing information with their eyes. He seems to be at ease and enjoy relating emotional experiences. The INFJs that I know, do not open up with ease. They also relate emotional experiences with a more detached, serious, and almost academic/analyzed style.
There’s more, but I am tired.
First, he has the dead face to me. Second, camera is way easier to talk to a camera than a person.
I don't know if these are even proper measures though, so it might not even matter.
The guy shares way to much personal info than any INFJ would ever do. It's just me,me,me,my,my,my,I,I,I with Mr. James every video, 100% Fi user
@@RRRsimracing Yeah cause Si is aaaallllll about a person's own experiences, couple tht with Fi and it turns into personal experiences. Definitely INFP
INFJ share too much information about themselves too. I know an INFJ, and she is far more open about her personal life than me (INFP). I am far reserved than her.
@@rayanrafea5869 Share too much info with whom?
Exactly what I thought...this guy is bursting with his own emotional interpretation of the world around him and inside himself (FI). He's a sopping wet rag of (his own) rich emotional life, just like the best INFPs....Def INFP.
Exactly...It surprises me a great deal just how many people actually remotely seen an INFJ in him. He's such an INFP. He has such obvious Fi, Ne and Si. He literally shows all of them in pretty much every video. How can anyone miss that?
@@PowerRedBullTypology Agree. Well said.
I respect this opinion but I do not share it. To me, Frank James is a typical INFJ!
But Pucokie knows best, I guess, because she knows FJ in real life, so maybe she should decide if FJ should be jailed or not?
I found his channel as he had just around 4000 subs. It's been a great ride to witness FJ 's personal growth, hear about his experiences. I love his authentic and unique way of inviting the viewers into his world and sharing his insights, ideas, music and humour with us.
What do I find so very INFJ about FJ ???
-He is a cameleon, he is a bit (or much!) different in each vid and still remains authentic, his complexity is striking.
-Overthinking and overanalyzing is so FJ and so INFJ. They are the most thinking folks among the feelers and the most feeling individuals among the thinkers. Always worried about how others perceive them and whether they like them or not...
- INFJ do talk a LOT about their experiences, how they feel, what they think - others often perceive us as egocentric. But hey, these are our main functions, we are introverted and intuitive, so yeah - we will likely talk more about ourselves than about others or the weather or some new fashion trends. Which does not mean that we are egoists, who do not care about others. In fact we do care. Way too much...
-which brings us to an INFJ super power: empathy. We care so much about those around us, that we tend to oversee our boundries and limits. The lines are so blurred to us, that we often fail to feel where we end and where the other person starts!
-"Did I say something upsetting? Is it my fault? " Caring so much about how others feel and pondering if we did/said sth wrong.
- being very, very polite :))
- very, very imaginative and creative,
- unique sense of humor,
-unique looks,
-a perfectionist,
- loves music and art, is a musician and a writer,
-very sensitive,
-a philosopher,
- great counseling talent...
That was FJ in a pill.
I could go on with this, but it's cold and snowing outside and I do miss my comfy warm bed. So ...goodnight!
Btw , I doubt one can type a complete stranger based on just two youtube vids.
So I suggest you take a trip to jail yourself, for judging FJ without gathering a substantial evidence ^^
You're sounding a bit like an MBTI protester: ruclips.net/video/zq2zEqowtgI/видео.html
Agreed - INFJ all the way! Pucokie said on here yesterday that she reckons FJ is INFJ.
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople
that is interesting...
I just watched Michelle in your video but I dont see myself as ENFP. My sister is that type though.
Actually I am 93% introverted :)
@last of the wilds. Those behaviours sound very much like me as an INFP. And yes I know that INFP and INFJ share a lot of the same altruistic qualities. Not that I'm any expert. I guess that's where it comes down to the cognitive functions.
Wow, you described me as well. Guess I may actually be an INFj.
Maybe an idea for a new series: Types who have been found guilty, can have a discussion with Eric, who then is not the Type Police , but the Type Judge. They can choose to defend their own case, or someone else who believes they're the original type can defend them. Or maybe someone else is the Judge, and Both Eric and the other are both lawyers defending their ideas
PowerRedBull I second that. They have to be their own layer.
Really, if this keeps getting bigger soon enough Eric will start doing reality TV on the cops life. Getting to respond to comments, being accused of misuse of police force. We see the other side of the coin.
@@Outofontology hahaha
there are so many INFJ... and nobody knows if it is for real, so would it be possible to show a few infj-suspects and we have to pickout the one you think to be the true infj....?
I love how people think they know a person's type better than that person, who has spent countless hours thinking and studying about it.
In additon to being the only human who truly knows their own mind.
Well people can become so locked up in their own minded that they are blind to certain aspects of their personality. Getting an outside perspective definitely helps.
@@austintexas9440 that perspective needs to be more than just a couple of videos worth
Same
It's all different perspectives
One way to figure out if someone is INFP or INFJ is to use intertype relations theory. If he's INFP, he should resemble ISFP/INTP. If he's INFJ, he should resemble INTJ/ISFJ.
@elemental theory INFJs can be boring too, although i agree not as much as ISFJ. the similarity between these two types is in their preoccupation with right vs wrong way of doing things. also both these types are very ethics focused.
@elemental theory yeah, i'm not saying INFJs and ISFJs get along. i'm just saying they can look similar at times. the relationship is called 'look-a-like' in socionics. it's when the even numbered functions are the same. it's called a 'look-a-like' relationship b/c these two types can look similar.
@elemental theory and clearly you're determined to elevate INFJs above other types. INFJs can be boring because all people can be boring. Erik Thor is an INFJ who is super boring to listen to, although probably right about a lot of things. Look-a-like relations are not my idea, that's a well known intertype relation in socionics.
@elemental theory 'Boring INFJ' and 'interesting ISFJ' are not some kind of oxymoron as you seem to believe. I don't use those terms as if they are an exception to the rule. INFJs are not fascinating by default, and ISFJs are not boring by default. That's just some dumbass notion, probably being spread by egomaniac INFJ's, and fanboy ENTPs. No one's elevating your type bro. You're the one who's putting yourself on a pedestal. It's OK, I understand, you're one of those INFJ's who has some kind of mild to severe narcissistic personality disorder wherein they think everyone else sees them as super special, as your posts show. You're projecting your own inflated beliefs about your type onto me.
@@geriatricward which is more boring ISFJ or ISTJ
Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but if I recall, FJ has actually stated before that it's entirely possible he may be mistyped. He has maintained, however, that he believes he's infj. So do I. Many, many of his experiences have mirrored my own, and I always test infj. I will say, I don't necessarily think mbti is exactly accurate. There's a reason it's considered a pseudoscience. But there's a lot of truth in it, most definitely. One has to consider an individual's personal experiences, such as upbringing. We all have all 8 cognitive functions. Everyone in a particular type group is not going to be the same. But I respect the opinions of others.
I’m and ENTP but I don’t always seem like an ENTP cause I have high Ne and Ni I also have high Ti and high Te. I’m even more logical than most ENTPs with extremely high Ti. Im like a messy disorganized INTJ that likes people and new ideas 😂 I still can’t understand myself.
I think you got it wrong man I’ve always tested as an INFJ and Frank described exactly what I struggle with a lot in the second video. Just having people unload on me and then when it starts to feel draining or like they’re all take and no give I feel resentful and have to cut ties for a while. Happens to me frequently. Even just being in the same space as someone who’s stressed out gives me anxiety because I can feel that energy radiating off of them. At work I always leave the room when someone’s in that kinda mood. Who knows maybe that makes me an INFP as well but I’ve always scored around 95% J on those tests. Idk man feels like you don’t really understand the INFJ perspective yourself. No offense though I think the video is cool, just that part of it felt like you were misunderstanding what INFJs feel in that sort of situation.
Just remember tests are not the best way to go. There's a lot of factors that can affect the accuracy of an online test. If you want to make sure you're an INFJ please use other techniques that are more accurate.
@@XXXMUXICISLIFEXXX I do use other techniques.
Im infp and I relate with him 100%. but im not making any conclusions just sharing that.
@@MCJOHNSON95 same and part of it is probably just being in tune with emotions.
He got it right
Ohhhhh come on guys, FJ aint an Infp. let's take his word for it. He's an Infj. I mean, his expositions are VERY abstract, conceptual, and all that points to an intuition dominated mind. Based on what he has presented in his vids, and described empirically, he has Fe...not Fi! The more you watch his videos the more you will agree with him!
I smell sarcasm.
Am i wrong?
@@reo2030 no sarcasm!
frank james is devoid of any logical consistency
Ive seen tons of his videos. I think he is infj. The toothache video is not a typical FJ video. As soon as I saw that was the video Type Police was going to use, I correctly predicted to myself he would be “thrown in jail”.
He was under physical pain, plus he just had a breakup, plus TP just interviewed his ex so all this added up to him going to Type Prison.
I can’t say which of the many vids FJ made best illustrate his type, but Over time I found myself identifying a lot with some of his outlooks and experiences in dealing with life.
It’s fun to try and figure out someones Type based on limited information, but one has to be honest that we cannot always know.
All day long! I watch tons of his stuff too (INFJ). If he was a strong Fi user I'd feel quite a disconnect with him as I do with INFPs. I can find interest in their take on things but I'll never feel that they're like me in any way. That's how I feel about Leon from Type Tips - he's an obvious INFP.
in which video(s) do you think he shows most typical INFJ behaviour?
I've been watching his videos since he started his channels too. I actually enjoy them. He shares some entertaining experiences.
I like listening to him talk about the scripts he's written. I also enjoy his emphasis of the good old bubbly black. That "gee-tar!?" Oh, yes. The gee-tar. But, how about that tooth ache?
I don't know though.
Tough to tell if he's more like Kurt Cobain or Pauly Shore.
One thing's for sure: He sure isn't close to any Michael Pierce. I don't care how subjective the objective ends have justified the means with a healthy dose of Fe blind.
The bigger the INFJ hat...
The smaller the INFJ heart.
Perhaps sad.
But, True.
I think your understanding of Fi and Fe is coming from a Fi polar and 3rd spot (Ti) Fe. I think Fi polar doesnt value Fi and 3rd Fe is more image conscious but less effective than 2nd Fe which does value Fi higher than Fi polar. Being nature's counselor, INFJs tend to have people come to them wirh their problems. I find it fullfills my heart but physically drains my body where I need to recoup. I wish I was extroverted so maybe I could handle it better. But setting boundaries with others and self care is part of the maturing process.
Polr is a socionics concept, it isn't relevant to MBTI, which is a 4 function model as opposed to using 8 functions like socionics.
The type police is a very Politically Incorrect concept and only an ENTP could realy have done it ! I love it ! Congratulations this idea is a winner !! I think that in the end of the day it is a win/win situation cause if you're dealing with a geniune usurper, it can help him and protect the community ( the newbies)from been purposely misinformed. On the other hand if you're dealing with someone who has mistyped himself out of a lack of understanding or only by reliying on oneline tests, it could help him and, if he/she has been correctly typed by you in the process or at least untyped by process of elimination, it could help him and others cause he/she would have learned the lesson the.....hard way !
Hmm I think it might need clarification, what you’re saying about the feelings, because I always feel completely drained by what other people want or need from me as an INFJ. I can see how they’re reacting to what I say and when there’s discord or some hint that I’m doing something that isn’t received well, it hurts and I need to fix it. I’ve heard infj needs objective harmony where infp needs personal harmony. I need there not to be dislike or anger, negative emotions or it sets me into anxiety. When I enter a room I can feel the overall energy of it and can be drained by this - it is why I always need to limit my time out unless I’m drinking. Feel like infps know from their experience what people are feeling but when they’ve never experienced it, they cannot relate. They also value their own feelings more and don’t mind the discord as much
As an fe user this is my experience as well.
My understanding of it is it can be draining for both high Fe and high Fi users, but Fe would build anxiety from the discord and try to solve it at any cost without breaking the relationship. On the other end Fi users would build resentment from the discord and try to defend their own feelings (fight or flee) with less regards for maintaining the relationship if they are not happy with the outcome
Fe in conflict: Wants to talk about it if overwhelmed, usually discusses issue without raising their voice, wants to find compromise on issue, expects the other to keep harmony and never to yell at them even if very frustrated
Fi in conflict: Wants to be alone if overwhelmed, likely loud heated arguments, wants sincere apology, expects the other to understand them (use of silence treatment)
@@Nooom91 Oo no - I think strong Fe users have heated arguments and Fi users evoke a sense of calm. I'm INFJ and (maybe also due to Se) I can become quite shouty whilst my INFP sister never does. I think there's a misconception about Fe with some people wherein they think it's some kind of cutesy function but it's actually not afraid of drama.
THIS. Fuck yes
@@Nooom91 We are in fight of flight, too. Much more so as it seems from my overall experience
INFJs want to "manage people" because we are feeling overwhelmed... Frank is talking about overwhelm, not about the importance of feelings. Yeah, we do not like conflict, we do not want to hurt other people because we want harmony. We get disrupted in our inner worlds (Ni) when something is happening (to us or to others), good or bad, we feel it and it drains us. It is a struggle and we are sometimes not as nice and understanding as we are perceived, in an unhealthy state we are people pleasers, we also idealise, after introspecting we might suddenly tell you what we do not like about you, but often, we do not come to a conclusion until we burn out and something has to change. Then, we might door slam you or expect you to do something because we do not know how to go on. INFPs, as I understand it, value relationships and secure attachments. What Frank means by "intellectual process" is that INFPs listen and then through reflecting take on emotions as their own, by kind of rebuilding them inside them. INFJs suck up what another person is feeling at that moment through "vibes" they are sending out. That is what he meant by "sponge". By thinking about it, we then evaluate the situation to make sense of it. So yeah, this is intellectual too, but it might take us long to come to a conclusion about the matter. While an INFP might choose not to empathise if they do not like the emotion at hand, an INFJ might not make a difference between the emotion they felt was by this person and their own feeling till they maybe shut down and become cold, kind of stop feeling because they feel like it is too much. To me, what Frank says makes a lot of sense and I heard other (supposed) INFJs talking about this, too, also it fits my own experience. Also, I tested as INFP when I took Myers-Briggs, but by looking at the information (e.g. about the functions) and the people claiming to be INFJs or INFPs, I am quite sure that I am an INFJ.
Congratulations, you've stated the obvious
Please learn to use paragraphs.
Hey, Eric I have watched your other commentaries on Frank James videos; what do you think now; do you still, think he is an INFP and not an INFJ?
No, he's INFJ. I got this one wrong.
I don't know, but I see a lot of INFJ videos talking about feeling burdened by other people's emotions and being unloaded or dumped on and feeling pushed on. He isn't alone in that aspect. But then again I think, truthfully a lot of "INFJ" videos describe a lot of experiences related to being human and not just "INFJ", thus why I suspect there exists a lot of INFJ typing online. People are identifying with the openness of the speakers. A lot of the internet seems being brutally open about self and experiences, thoughts and feelings = "INFJ".
This experience highlighted, I don't fully share, Yes I've had people unload stuff, and I can feel a bit worn out or pick up their anxiety, but my thoughts during the time tend to be towards trying to help the person find a solution to their problem as well as validate their emotions at the time. Saying "No" comes hard but if I am pushed to it, I'll go through my mind visualizing whether I want to cut them off or if I want to just stay there nod along and wait for a moment to speak up or exit myself. When it comes to giving and the chance of future resentment I kind of analyze it pretty early on and decide if I'm going to be resentful later, then I won't give my time. Simple as that.
How would adding the information of him being an HSP add to or change your observations? What if he is helping others by purposely doing videos on his weaknesses so others relate and feel less awkward in this world. Frank's channel was never meant to be a typing channel per se but instead a place where people who feel like strangers in a strange world could gather and feel comfortable. Did you ever think that perhaps he also came from a drama background such as doing plays which influences how he creates his art. In the end, I don't believe he ever thought he would have more than 500 viewers and the reason he has 30 thousand is that he attempts to be entertaining and yet real and authentic at the same time. And as an infj myself, when I know there are eyes on me, I can come across as awkward or fake or incredibly intelligent. But, after he makes a video and posts it, if Frank feels that he has helped a couple people who are suffering from the same types of feelings that he is suffering from then it was worth it. I spent most of my life waiting to get out of this life because I don't understand it and I don't understand people. But in about 3 minutes, I can make anyone feel as if they are known and understood and honestly cared about. That's the part of me that is an empath. So I guess what I'm saying is maybe sometimes it's harder to type with the rarest of the rare especially when you have to factor in a highly sensitive person, perhaps genetic depression, and the need to appear as worthwhile and in control to others and truly never wanting to hurt another person's feelings. And in the end, you don't pay attention to how you really feel and you don't really take care of yourself. My joy in life has always had to come from knowing that I brought joy to someone else. And because I'm so aware of each individual person that is near me and it's easy to become more animated or less emotional and more scientific in order to match the other person, It doesn't make me a fake. Makes me an insecure person who has the demon of depression on my back and too much love in my heart to see anyone hurt and not do something about it. Maybe that makes me an abcd? And as for looking straight into camera, about 99.9% of people know that Frank James has green eyes because if you went through all of his videos you see that most of them he's staring right at you. He just got a new camera instead of looking at himself as he's talking he has to look into the blank lens and then off to the side he can see himself. Isn't almost everyone a little insecure about what they look especially when they're spilling their guts. Sorry to take up so much for your time, Officer. Most sincerely, Carly
If he's not an INFJ, he's definitely not an INFP, I don't recognize myself in him, except for the general introverted disposition. He has Se somewhere, and just because he was talking about his physical experiences, this does not equate to Si. He has a "showman" quality, that's why I say Se. I don't see a lot of Fi at all. INFP's are not typically that dramatic when telling a story, and if we are, it's different, because we don't exaggerate our emotional responses. Blind Te in his lack of concise way of explaining things. I would type him as an INFJ, but maybe he's not himself in his videos, so it's hard to see.
I predicted an INFP might come along and say they don't recognise him as their type because to me it's very clear he's INFJ. It seems that INFJs are seeing that he's INFJ and other INFPs would probably also say he's not like them. It's only (largely?) NTs who are saying he's not INFJ for some reason. I was also going to make the point elsewhere that he's too showy for an INFP - we can be that way due to Fe/Se. I think maybe people on here are used to seeing very watery INFJs like that Opaloid guy.
Allie B Yes! Of course the types manifest in so many different ways. INFP's can be very perfectionistic, but more so when it comes to being natural and feeling consistent with who we are internally. INFJ's seem more perfectionistic in their "vision" of their message and that message being understood by others, so they are welcoming and inviting everyone in to be alongside them. Both types want to be authentic and do have a message for the world, but go about it so differently. Also both often consider themselves empathetic, although anyone can be, but how we deal with the situation is different.
@@AllieB-11.11 I agree that he's blatantly an INFJ.
It's often hard to recognize someone else with your own type, so this doesn't really mean anything.
Maybe he is confusing ENFP and INFP. Like my sister can definitely just "feel" people's emotions and is very aware of their motivations. I can do that... but I really more often intellectualize it and put myself in another's shoes to do that. But I'm also not one for trying to socially engineer anything.... But.... maybe... I have Fe??? But if I am a true ENFP, then I have Fe in my 6th slot so it would kind of "overlook" on everything... Though... my mind is so confused...
Who's to know who is right about all of this information? I've been really wondering lately who is right and what actually are these functions.... And... another thing... what is a direct effect of a function and what is a singularly personal experience?
Michelle Wilson Are you going to do Ti? Don’t, it will kill your spirit.
@@Outofontology i gotta learn eventually.... right?
Well... Fe is about perceptions and what others think. You countervalue that, which just means you don't think we ought prioritize appearances when they conflict with other considerations. Assuming you're ENFP, that is. ENFPs are "good at Fe," which means they play as authentic to other intuitives, while 6th slot ESFP Fe plays as fake and forceful.
Talking with Famous People you need to write a book. Thanks.
Michelle Wilson where do you get your information? After I heard INFJ’s are overly caring, always putting others first (like Mother Theresa) I thought that’s not me - I seem cold until I get to know people and I have very few friends, but I’m fiercely loyal to people I care about - I put them ahead of myself. I’m still searching for the answers.
This is random but I can relate, tooth pain is the worst pain I've had ☠️
About what you said of the frustration of INFJ of not knowing what’s real and what’s responsive to their social engineering, i think it’s more than frustration.
I want to see Eric do some more critical research because though you say in the comments “you could be wrong” that doesn’t translate in what’s being projected through these videos.
Someone only goes to jail when all of the facts are presented and judged equally. What you’re doing is bringing someone to a court where you’re the judge, and they don’t get a lawyer OR a chance to testify.
Things you could be teaching instead:
1. The value of adequate research
2. How same functions can (at surface level) appear differently on different people
3. What’s the point of any of this? It’s clear you have some desire to teach or verbalize your opinion. But for what use? Is it so people can learn more about the functions? Actually improve their lives? Is this just for entertainment?
L J he was 100% right about you not being INTJ
L J
Fair points.
I shared my personal typing video, anyone on that thread was free to view it.
Kurtis1996 nah bro
At the end of the day it’s his channel and it really doesn’t matter wtf I say
I suspected Frank of being INFP at first sight , and although he may very well be, only he truly knows despite the scrutiny of others. What he states about INFJ’s is rather spot on, INFJ are more often than not emotional empaths ( sponges) of the woes of others, and the many habitual habits of INFJ’s he describes are accurate,. Not to mention that part about stating that INFJ come to the conclusion of other peoples feeling through an intellectual route is inaccurate , thats INFP. Basically INFP’s can be emotional empaths aswell but they distance themselves from the emotional contagion and see things more (subjectively) project themselves in the others persons shoes (sympathy) and that helps them see more productive solution as opposed to feeling overwhelmed or bogged down by the other. Yes, INFJ’s have Ti which helps them come to calculated conclusions but not in real time which is why its not a parent function, it simmers in the background, but there Ni works as a fly catcher for alot of junk. INFP, s have Ne as a parent which helps make connections to find a source , and find probable and multiple solutions. Heres another reason why you might be wrong about Frank, he’s a four on the ennegram, and INFJ 4’s attend to look more unceuth and hippie, its part of their expressive nature given the overwhelming emotions that they have knowledge of the human experience, if you look carefully , even though he looks random and messy , there is order in his madness, look at his room, look at his style and even his cadence in voice, he may just lean heavier in the individual aspect of the 4 and learned to suppress the placateness of his Fe.
- The moments people describe traits of the type they think they are or even actually are, is the least trustworthy moment to classify them, because unless the type they describe is really opposite from themselves, they can much more easily find a way to recognize themself in a description. It's the least 'raw' moment to see them just act without thinking about it much.
- The fact that he does not "dress randomy, but with an an order in his syle" , does actually fit the INFP better than dressing totally random. INFP's usually have a distinct style (somewhat non mainstream) style they go for in order to expres their unique self, and usually do invest time and effort in making their style look consistant.
- to state that "only he knows his type despite the scrutiny of others" is not correct. It is implied here that the individual themselves somehow are more right about their own typing, because they are the ones that are being typed? It even goes as far as saying that one 'knows' their own type, as if ones own subjective idea about their own is somehow just always true. That makes no logical sense. That seems like an Fi-statement. It is possible an individual is incorrect about their typing, but others are right. It's also possible both parties are right, or neither parties are right about the correct typing of a person.
PowerRedBull INFJ’s have a tendency to dress more conservatively, with solid bright colors but not off color, they pay attention to symmetry and presentation. Although , INFP, have a less conformist style “less mainstream” they often dress abstract (random), where things can often miss and match, they can also dress mainly for comfort, but given that he is a 4, i would imagine he would focus more on unique individual presentation which would differ from the atypical INFJ.
As far as him knowing better , well, indeed personality theory is subjective , we cannot truely quantify peoples personas , but only in part because the identity is intangible, as the basis of most psychology, its alot of hit and mis not to mention , it does not fit neatly in a box. However, because only he can answer particular questions of his temperament and has unique introspection to himself, he is in a position others are not, that is not without saying he does not have biases, as we all do. He has also spent the most time with himself and is obviously studious in MBTI theory, So, i would say again he has the best odds of typing himself correctly whether that be with outside consulting of a second or third perspective in conjunction with his own.
@@rustycage7491 He is indeed in a position we're not in, but at the same time we're in a position he's not in. He knows things we do not know, but by knowing more and being within something, it can also make it harder to see somethings for what it really is. If you zoom in enough on anything, it becomes harder to see what it really is. One can not compare themselves as easily to others, as one is able to compare different persons who are both not the self, since in the latter case ones viewpoint-perspective is the same. One is looking at 2 other people in the external world. That's an optimal way to compare things. If you're within a vehicle, its harder to compare if your vehicle looks the same as other vehicles than if you one would just compare 2 vehicles outside the vehicle. The third party perspective at least provides the ability to compare from the same engle.
Also, I would argue that it hugely depends on the type too, whether ones functions are optimal for self typing or not. I'd say sensors are probalbly more often wrong on their types than intuitives. Intuitives can look at things more abstractly (like one self), while the sensor does not have that ability to that extend. Also I'd guess that Ti is better for self observation than Fi, because Fi is more aimed on values and desires than truth.
PowerRedBull Ti is good for material observable objectivity , but Fi can help understand the motives that form people's beliefs and biases. Both very useful in typing

Sorry, but how do you reliably type someone based on how they present themselves in a (edited & produced) video? His channel is more about entertainment than MBTI. You must not know many entertainers or performers personally, as most will tell you there is not a 1:1 relationship between who they are and how they present themselves to an audience. You’re essentially typing “Frank James” the character.
He's not the only one who typed him.as an infp
If this holds any merit, I personally think he is an INFJ.
I thought you might think so as you're INFJ and we seem to be able to recognise each other just from RUclips let alone the fact you dated him! I agree by the way.
@M J No, Eric already had him in mind!
@@AllieB-11.11 Yeah, but I have been wrong before!
@@pucokie Everyone probably has - I don't even agree with all the Type Police conclusions on here i.e. that the ESTP woman is ESFJ. But I don't think you're wrong in this case.
@@AllieB-11.11 I suggested Frank james in some other type police video (not sure though if Eric already wanted to do him before that though)
I get people that open up to me about a lot of things. At some point, I find a way to disengage politely. I don't have the energy for that nowadays. Personally, I'm not a big fan of some of these Fi vs. Fe descriptions. Anyone can imagine themselves in another person's bad situation, and conclude that it would suck. It does help if I've also had a similar experience. Really, if someone just got broken up with, it's not difficult to think "If that happened to me, I'd be sad." If you're capable of having empathy, then any type should be able to do that. Maybe the modern description of Fe gets mixed up with what being empathic is supposed to be.
I agree that INFJ understands other people’s motivations and perceptions rather than feel their feelings. Because they interact with the Fe, absorb through it, but inside the INFJ there is Ti.
This is a very old video, and not correct in conclusions, but it's just a type police video, not a real typing session. You should watch some of my newer vids.
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople ok, thank you.
LOL He's Infj... He's processing his emotions in his video by talking them out! i bet when he's done filming he's like is that what i'm actually feeling??? Cause i totally just said those things outloud..
Great point! I think this is similar to how Ne users sometimes need to talk out ideas and concepts. Fi users know how they feel but are afraid to air those feelings. Once you pass the ball into another person's court, Fi can fear losing ownership.
INFJ's don't talk about feelings.
@@royalpeasant4196 They rather can say that they can feel how others are this way or that way.
You're forgetting a key point though... These videos are edited every 10 seconds so he's just NOT just rambling feelings unaware of it. He's completely aware of it by sharing how he feels openly and making sure his feelings is firmly expressed and that's an INFP not J
He’s not INFP. His eye movement pattern is in line with extroverted sensing, and his body language is too relaxed and natural, which also indicates extroverted sensing. I don’t think he’s infj either though.
Hi Eric, I just started watching your channel so I'm sorry if I'm asking an already-answered question, but your descriptions of Fe vs Fi are turning my understanding upside-down. I've heard from others that Fe is capable of true empathy whereas Fi is capable of sympathy, and Fe absorbs from the emotional climate, whereas Fi-users only relate to others through an understanding of their own feelings (and thus can also be seen as selfish). For a while I was questioning whether I was actually an INTP or perhaps an INFP. I'm actually still not 100% certain and open to input. But after a lot of research I tentatively settled on the conclusion that INTP with more developed aspirational inferior Fe, which seemed more feasible than INFP. However, since my typing was hinged mainly on the difference between Fe and Fi, by seemingly reversing the definitions I've come to accept as true, you have me questioning whether I'm an INFP again. Thanks 😀 My question is: from where do your definitions of Fe and Fi originate? Or could you possibly elaborate on what you make this distinction and clearly expound upon the differences? Is there a video you've already made that you think would be helpful?
I just see it as more plausible that I'm an INTP with perhaps better Fe than the stereotypical INTP, as opposed to being an INFP who values logic. I'm fairly certain my mother is an INFP (who also has borderline personality disorder), which makes what I perceive the distinctions between Fi and Fe to be more apparent to me. I just can't see myself being an Fi dom, regardless of how I've heard Fi can resemble a Ti framework. It takes me _so long_ to figure out how I feel and what I really want and value. When my mom would ask me what I wanted for Christmas as a kid, I would say, "I don't know." "How do you feel?" Me: "Let me think about that and get back to you." It's often not until I can remove myself from a social situation and contemplate in solitude that I figure out what I actually feel. I hate shopping (okay, there's some Fi lol), but when I do go shopping, if I see something I think I like, I leave the store without buying anything and go home and sleep on it to figure out if I actually like the item in question. Although I did relate to a lot of what Frank James said in this video. 🤔 People use me as a sounding board, and as much as I've tried to set stronger boundaries, I still self-sabotage by continuing to listen whilst building resentment.
I'm probably most certain about using the Ne/Si axis, although I have had people try to convince me I'm an INFJ. Interestingly enough, it was a self-proclaimed INFJ on Frank's channel that asserted my Fe-use made me an INFJ and that I didn't realize I was using Ni. 🙄 It may be worth noting this person also seemed to confuse Ni with Si.
All that being said, I'd like to consider myself unbiased (aside from a certain amount of bias that seems to be inherent in the human experience)... Well, let's just say I strive towards eliminating bias, so I have no emotional investment in being one type or the other. I really just want to know which model, or taxonomy, as you might clarify, is correct once and for all. I'm keeping an open mind to new possibilities as well. Please educate me!
Hi Heather, I relate to a lot of what you’ve expressed...seeing INTP and INFP (some days even INFJ) as possibilities, yet not seeming like a true representative of any of them; taking forever to know what I want or what I’m feeling, sometimes never coming to a conclusion; needing time after an experience, especially after interacting with others, to process how I feel, etc. It seems like I have the capacity to both sympathize (understand because of my own experience) and empathize (feel “with” moods and emotions of others in real time), but the skills of response (in either case) are another matter...something I’m still trying to learn. A lot of this, I believe, has to do with childhood circumstances, where my feelings, wants, and needs were irrelevant and chronically dismissed...essentially, my “job,” in my parents eyes, was to be who THEY needed me to be. In their eyes, I was there to meet THEIR needs, not vice versa.
Maybe you just don't fit in neatly into the matrix. I mean, imagine that - right? You might not snugly fit into a measly 16 archetypes. It doesn't mean you don't have a place, it only means you don't have a place ***in the system*** (as it's practiced).
-NN- I don’t mind being a bit of an MBTI Mongrel. 😉
I am an INFP, I love INFJs but somehow dont get along with INFPs. I watched like 5 FJ vids and couldn't really continue lol. He's adorable and expressive and I can see why he's relatable but since I don't seem to LOVE him alot, clear sign of INFP i guess (jk...but not really)
Yeah, he's an INFJ. I disavowed this arrest shortly thereafter.
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople ok! thanks for the clarification ! love your fascinating videos by the way 😍
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople Ahh I believed he was INFJ from the start! There was a video of him explaining and breaking down INFJ and ISFJs functions and he fitted the INFJs perfectly.
Sorry, but I don't think you know that much about INFJs, because pretty much everything that he's talking about is true and are well known to be INFJ attributes.
Grr, this video is confusing me! I still have so much to learn about the functions.
I think Eric may need to be called out on his knowledge of the functions.....
Heavily leaning infp telling a story Si struggling explaining things inferior Te.
Nope. Do you think that us INFJs just never talk about our health? Of course we do - we're just human like everyone else. MJ said we have Si as a role function so it's where a lot of our fears are located. And as for the 'struggling explaining things' - Ni is difficult to get into language - we have to go through a process using Fe and Ti to do it and that all takes time. That's why if I were to make RUclips videos I'd have prompts next to me to keep me on track. As it is FJ tends to cut out a lot of his pausing time in the longer videos. It's strong Ne/Se/Te users who are good at verbalising their thoughts quickly. It's irritating actually as I already explained all this in a long comment further down but the poster has deleted his post so my comment has also gone. I relate to FJ way too much for him to be INFP as we share no functions - they always seem quite alien to me. Plus the INFPs on here are saying 'Not one of ours guv'.
If he were an INFP, i would think that the stories he would be retelling that involve the introverted sensing function would be a more positive thing for him that would be giving him energy because INFPs prefer introverted sensing to extroverted sensing.
He appears more INFJ to me in this vid as he talks about psychoanalyzing a person in an abstract way where he is not in touch with the present moment. I can relate to that and been told by another that I psychoanalyze. Its just the way my mind works to understand people but sometimes I lose touch with being in the present moment and using enough Fe. I suppose its bit of a NiTi loop. He also talks about the big picture and wanting to know the end goal in his work which seems NJ to me. He did reference DaveSuperPowers Ni definition but his further does seem more Ni oriented to me. Dave was also on FJs podcast if you want to listen to them both in two way convo. The podcast link should be on FJs channel.

H.E. My comments are really directed directly towards you. Some of the other viewers are hitting it off with me but apparently some of my comments have drawn somewhat negative. My BPD (emotional disregulation) has been in full flare in the very recent days. In my own mind this explains a bit why I'm hyper-giddy to have found the channel. But if viewers behave like the locals where I live (i.e. provincial--"You can't join our club") I am likely to disappear quickly. I can't take rejection.
I write here because this old video is less likely to attract attention.
The videos are long, which makes it difficult to listen to the entire video. Yet I don't want to miss a moment. Really unusual for me to enjoy a channel so much. I am not interested in typology. I conclude it must be your charisma.
I'm always a little wary of charisma. But I like yours.
Why is that unwelcome here? Or is this just my imagination?
I need someone to listen. 12:30
The acronyms continue to alienate me.
I was thinking about 6th slot "countervalue". And i was thinking that my relationship with my own Ni is different that with other's Ni.
In my case, im very aware of it, but i don't trust it. It may have to do with the fact that i can't validate the knowledge with Ti. So i dont trust it but i dont dismiss it either. Its kind of there. If i was made to sit in my own Ni, i think it would be exhausting. Cause it would raise so many avenues that i would then need to check.
What if for infjs, they experience the feelings all the time, but its too particular if it conflicts with their Ni. So they always have this Fi in the background. And having ppl make them experience that by sharing their feelings makes it exhausting because it triggers their own Fi response. And then all they experience needs to somehow fit into their Ni worldview. Which seems like a lot of work.
Idk if this applies to all type.
Um, I heard Fe described similarly in a podcast, Personality Hacker. They have a vid on both INFJ and INFP, they explain Fe like a radar, and Fi as going through a filter kind of...So...Im confused. He seems Fe to me. Im still learning though, but I dont understand how hes wrong at all...
He’s either INFP or ENFP.
Wha type is this dude meant to be?
Reminds me of some ENFPs.
His theory about his toothache ''i MAY have healed it with my mind'' ... that is just so Ne.
never really watched frank james but in that last video he is a dead ringer for an INFP in my life.
i relate somewhat to his feeling drained from "emotional baggage." but i'm an INTJ HSP. too bad there's not much content on it.
Hey this is random but I took the test MBTI test like 6 months apart, at first I got INTP, second I got INFJ. I resonate with both. What do you make of that? I don’t have any videos of myself up, I’m just asking.
... I like James I’ve been following him, but I don’t feel very similar to him.
TJmusic24 I got the same thing. P first, then J. Then I read some stuff and thought I related to ISFJ. So if he’s not INFJ, I wonder what he is? Some things I relate to and some I don’t, so it would help to know what he actually is.
*Classical INFP* : Very dramatic/whiny/chidlike/the general orientation is the self and his feelings/experiences
A lot of his videos do not seem that Fe aimed at the people either, but just himself and his FI-Si experiences where he often deviates from whatever he explaining, only to wonder about something totally unrelated next. He was starting this other video about some subject, and suddenly was wondering about something like night/day or the amount of days in a year-something and it took minutes for him to finish that before he got sorta back on the topic. He deviated like 3 times before he even got on topic to begin with. These devations were very Ne.
I typed a long list of things why I thought was an INFP in one of his video's comment sections, because of particular things he all did all seemed INFP-ish, but can't seem to find it back. Not sure if the comment is deleted either (not sure if we commenters can even see it - but he never replied to it). If anyone finds it, please let me know.
(even his styling is stereotypical artsy looking INFP. The hair, the guitar, and the sort of retro clothing some other videos - He also lives with his parent(s) - which is way more typically INFP than INFJ too)
interesting!
I don't have time to list all the reasons why he's an obvious INFJ but I listed a few in a comment reply somewhere above. I'm kind of surprised that it's not as obvious as I thought though. Also not meaning to be rude but PRB doesn't think Meghan LeVota is ENFJ so I have to wonder whether he has problems recognising NFJs. Maybe his gf is an ESFP or something like that?
@M J '9 times out of 10 an INFJ will proceed to make fun of themselves.' Yeah that's another thing about him that I relate to - he's self-deprecating and I don't seem to see this in INFPs. It hasn't been noticed on here but he very often does a kind of smirk/ironic snigger thing if he does something wrong - say with the tech or whatever - which is actually mocking himself. I do that fairly often so I recognise it. I can at times have that Fe/Se energy thing where I make people laugh and get a kick out of it but overall he's more comical than me - I think I was more like that years ago. And come on - his Fe comedy faces - he's so full of expression! Also some people claiming he's too into Si stuff - well INFJs do actually bother with their health at times. It's not like we just let everything go and never go to the dentist or doctors - that would just be dumb. Some INFJs even do 'clean eating' and are vegans (not just due to political views).
@M J You state "He is Fe > Fi because he accurately describes the INFJ Fe process". The least trustworthy moment to type anyone is when a person describes their type by a textbook type description. It's a much better source to see how types behave when they not literally talk about their own type. Of course they're generally going to be right if they bassically just describe the typical description of a type, since they believe it's them. It's much more accurate to see if they actually ACT the way the type is supposed to act, preferably by observe them doing or saying about things that are a bit further removed from type descriptions to so they display a more "raw" view on their true self.
@@user-jb2dd2hd8i You state "Maybe it's the Fe users who are whiny since they make misinformed and biased claims about Fi when they have no clue what the function is actually like". This is incorrect. Even if someone makes a poor description or observation of a type, as you suggest I do, than that does not automatically mean that suddenly "Fe users are whiny", because I used the word 'whiny'. If I would inaccuratly describe you to be a female, it would not mean I was suddenly a female by thinking you are a female. This would simply mean I would would be wrong.
(Not that I think I'm wrong)
We feel other people's feelings but we get into the pattern and reason behind it . How to solve the problem ? If we can summarize the advice for the root cause of the emotion or problem . Because absorbing other people's emotions tires us. So better to end it, To feel calm and at peace. Which I feel when I am alone. I can shut my Fe . This happens when there is nothing to heal the situation. Here I can be cold.
When I shut my Fe down for any reason , I am in Ni and Ti. I am cold and indifferent or extremely angry.
I can shut my Fe down at well. And feel nothing. It is about doing something with what I pick upon from those feelings. Otherwise it is pointless to process surrgoutlly for others.
I am an INFJ. I think he is an INFP.
May I ask who are you? Are u an expert on MEYERS BRIGGS? Do u have a channel here other than this.
Yes you may ask. Yes, I'm an expert. Yes I have other channels, but this is the main one.
FJ did an MBTI test for his viewers and did not get INFJ, which he laughed about. I’ve taken the test various times, and have gotten different types, but INFJ more often than not. I think there is probably overlap? Your comments about INFJ certainly rang true with me, I thought they were very astute. But jail time for FJ? If Hillary Clinton didn’t go to jail, FJ certainly won’t.
Hey lady, listen. Sometimes we beat up and arrest someone and taze him and loose the K9s and such. That's just part of the job. And sure, sometimes it's the wrong guy. And sure, sometimes that's because we're lazy, sloppy, but sometimes it's just because we do investigations deemed by various officials as "lack-luster," "unprofessional," "haphazard," and even "woefully incompetent." But you gotta remember, sister. Lives are at stake every time we climb into that squad car. We're the thin blue line between you and typological armageddon. So don't question the Type Police! What are you gonna do when you come across a fake INFP one night in a dark alley? Call the regular police? I don't think so.
I think I've had dreams about this comment section. If FJ is an INFP, he will no longer have his initials in his type and everything will be ruined! RUINED!
His videos have made me question Fe so much, if his description of Fe was actually Fi, that makes me extra sure that I'm not an F type at all because I don't relate to either of those concepts you've presented. (Right now I think I'm INTJ with tertiary Fi)
These videos make me wish I did more talking videos, I want to be put under scrutiny. 😜
Hey Stephanie! Did you see pucokie's chat with the INFP a few days ago? That was helpful for me in distinguishing Fi and Fe. When the INFP described having a well-organized catalog of feelings, I was like ooooh no, I'm emotionally intelligent but not in that way. I also can relate to projecting a warmer demeanor than I feel inwardly. I often have an agenda or goal I'm working towards. Fe as a tool is pretty spot on for me. For what it's worth if you are INTJ, you're a particularly amiable one :)
@@jlryder97 'I also can relate to projecting a warmer demeanor than I feel inwardly.' - Exactly the same for me. I do it to seem sociable or not rude or just 'cause I feel it's expected of me in that moment - that kind of thing. I suppose that's why some NTs think INFJs are fake - I hadn't analysed it til I saw them say that. After seeing them say that and analysing it, I realised I'm not meaning to be fake - this Fe thing just kicks in without me summoning it especially (or even mainly) with strangers. The more I know someone the less I bother with seeming socially appropriate; I let my true Ni self out bit by bit as I get to know someone. So maybe the Fe is similar to a defence mechanism 'cause I'm wary of someone new.
Survival Fe! Lol! :) Traveling abroad hones the Fe for me. Which is such a relief because a lot of Te is demanded of me in my job and by close family members.
@@jlryder97 Thanks! I will say that when I talked it through with a few close friends (and a few friends who know about MBTI), it became a lot easier to attribute my general aura of positivity to practice and habits, and it's not how I naturally was as a kid.
I built a habit of smiling all the time when I was little because I didn't want people to bother me! (ie kids running up asking "What's wrong?" because I would walk by myself at recess looking at the ground) It wasn't fake, I genuinely couldn't think of anything wrong, so I just decided to smile. That habit was harder to get rid of than it was to keep, and I kept making friends and stuff, so I just became "the girl who smiles a lot."
And then speaking of Te, my job is teaching music to elementary age kids. I'm facilitating a huge amount of problem solving on a mass scale, all day. Ultimately my goal is to give students the tools they need to solve their own musical problems. I do that fairly naturally, I think ;)
Stephanie Douglass >> Lol, you and me both! The stuff about his initials has been weighing heavy on my troubled mind too - what will this mean for him, what will this mean for the planet as a whole? Will the world as we know it cease to exist?
Honestly though, I really HAVE been dreading this day and in a way I hoped it could be avoided. Every time I think about how he feels right now I get severe pain in my chest and kinda feel like throwing up. The perks of being an INFP I guess :p
I do really wish and hope he can use this as a guidebook and a tool for growth, instead of a catalyst for the apocalypse. These things are of course easier to spot in retrospect, so if he just manages to chill for a little bit and doesn’t freak out too much and cause too much damage to himself I’m sure he will be able to see the bigger picture eventually. I still worry about his well-being this very moment though. Like a lot :/
Interesting we were talking about this yesterday before this was released, btw. ^^
You should type Michael pierce who also claims INFJ. I actually believe him but I’d still like to hear your take.
He is an INTP
mARTin L No. He counter-values Ne, has talked about his difficulties with Ti and explained his though process which is very Ni (visual, synthesising and symbolic). Also he is very Fe conscious not to offend anybody, not that INTPs cant be, but they usually are just formal with role Fi and poor Fe to avoid social mistakes. He has an interview with Ben Vaserlan, the only channel that features Model G in Socionics. If you watch it it’s pretty clear he is Beta Quadra, Dom Ni and has polr Te.
@@mARTin-Alexander Lol.
He is INFJ, 100%. Don't worry about him!
@@Outofontology This.
Sympathy vs empathy-Gives INFJ/INFP away every time. The INFJ is the authentic FE and other people’s emotions are absorbed, but only if we have a vested interest and despite our tree hugging, unicorn persona...cognitively INFJ’s truly, sacrificially love very few. We are kinda a holes and I don’t get the preoccupation.
Can you do Kurtis Conner? He also thinks he's an INFJ but I think he's an INFP almost definitely...
Some back ground info on FJ. It was his brother who first told him he thought FJ was INFJ. FJ didnt take a test or get into MBTI until months after that event. He tested INFJ and started learning about it. I can see why people would type him INFP. That was my first thought with his artsy appearance and talking about feelings etc. He said he originally cut his vids to get rid of his pauses. I guess I didnt notice the Ne appearance ramblings. After being around Ne doms for so long, I subconsciously dont acknowledge it most of the time. Usually he looks in the camera a lot more and toothache vid was a bit out of his norm. It seems he's been doing some experimenting with vid angles and new cam since moving into his new place (He no longer lives with parents). He has some social anxiety. He does have a way of drawing people into him and so many people say they relate to him. Perhaps its Fi authenticity or actually working some Fe magic that may not be obvious. I'm not saying he isnt INFP or INFJ at this time. You make some interesting points. I can't think of anything obvious to say INFJ at the moment although my gut still says dont rule it out. I like FJ and will watch his vids no matter his type.
I dont think feeling others feelings is an FI thing. I havent seen any self proclaimed INFPs say that and Ive seen some people claiming INFJ claim to feel others feelings. Even an ENTP friend told me he can pick up on others feelings. I'm not sure if that is something psychological or biological possibly thru dna etc. I've been dna tested and I have a gene that has increased empathy and supposedly 1 in 4 people have it. Personality Hackers had a blog about infj and infp feelings. Both their moms are said to be INFJ. I think I more intuitively know how someone may feel and may get a vibe but I dont think its that strong. But something does drain me when people are highly emotional. I also dont like to be in crowds long as I get drained by it and even when I talk to no one. Its the presence of people and I cant say I consciously feel much. It may be subconsciously.

All I see is INFJs in 'INFJ Women' on FB claiming to feel other people's feelings - it's part of being an empath. I have only felt someone else's mood on one occasion though and that's 'cause we had a toxic connection but it's definitely an Fe rather than an Fi thing. Frank is so INFJ it's funny - I'm amazed anyone wouldn't see it straight off. When I first came upon his channel I immediately felt the kindred spirit thing that I get when I see another INFJ - I never feel that with INFPs. He also has the 'distant but warm' Ni eyes that we all seem to share. Also people shouldn't go by how he dresses or the fact he has candles in his room (someone in this thread seems to think INFJs wouldn't have those). INFJs can be very into mood lighting and making our environment comfortable - I love lighting candles in the autumn/winter and I absolutely hate those fluorescent strip lights in offices. He's probably a 'highly sensitive person' which is nothing to do with type per se but I imagine that it's very common in IN**s. I am also one - well a borderline one. You basically overreact to sensory stimuli. He also has a lot of social anxiety which is far from uncommon with INFJs - it's all inferior Se related. I always find INFPs more sturdy in themselves so they don't seem to worry about the things we do in that sense.
@@AllieB-11.11 Yeah I have some type of sensory overstimulation thing going on sometimes. Low lights, prefer quiet, and time alone. I dont really do candles but I do have a salt rock lamp. Candles can be Se or Si (ritual) depending how you look at it. He does have those "distant but warm" eyes like my daughter has. When locked in, they can be warm. But when lost in Ni, they can be distant. I used to have to tap my daughter to focus on her school work. Now I understand that was probably Ni at work. Ive never really observed myself externally to see it. But I know I drift off at times. To be honest, FJ was the one to get me to start commenting on youtube again.
I was shocked when I came across FJ's channel 'cause I felt he's like some sort of long lost male relative - freaked me out!
@@AllieB-11.11 If there are past lives, I swear I met FJ before hahaha.
INFP can feel what other people feel. But we dont talk much about it. Just to some close relative that we trust... Because it is an introvert function.
To be honest I've wondered a couple of times about Frank's personality type, he is quite self-absorbed. However I also was at a young age, and pucoki also strikes me as quite self-absorbed. However, you obviously do not regularly follow Frank James channel h, and if you did you might know that now is not the best time to be attacking him. Maybe you should just let people have their delusions, if delusions they be.
To be clear, though, I do think he's an infj.
Yes, I agree with you that now is not a good time to be attacking him. There never is a good time to be attacking people who are depressed and have social anxiety. It’s not kind or helpful in any way.
Bad call.
Frank James, probably INFJ 4.
I need a badge number, sir, for this blatant abuse.
Nope clear INFP
Idk why I’m doing this, but davesuperpowers typed him infj
Dave believes Te dominants are most likely to type themselves as Fi-dominants too..
The only thing I’m sure of is I’m an I. I don’t know what the other 3 letters are and where to learn about it. The more videos I watch the more confused I’m getting, especially now that you’re saying FJ isn’t an FJ. Where can I learn what the differences are between internal and external everything except introverted/extroverted? I need to know and you seem to really understand - taking the test doesn’t help because I’m different depending on the day. Also I love cheese.
Sasuke did I say I feel other people’s thoughts? I don’t believe I did.
An INFP has Ne parent. They’re aware of other people’s intentions. So yes, in a way, they can feel thoughts.
Franktipus Rogerstun Ne doesn’t make you aware of desires, personal or collective.
Funny idea for type police videos: In the end where they're "being send to jail" , some sound effect together with a visual effect of a big stamp like they use on files to say stuff like 'case closed" with the correct type. Or simply something like "GUILTY" , or ' "TO TYPE JAIL"or whatever..Just because it's funny and fits the theme
PowerRedBull He could write a little jingle to play after the verdict. The trademark song of the series.
Kim wants me to use a jail door closing sound effect. I'll try to incorporate something like that.
I have a theme song in the works.
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople haha..a type police video theme song?
Talking with Famous People if you think editing in sounds is too much work, you can always let some other device let that sound play (like MP3 player) close to the microphone
An INFJ is aware of how other people feel but, not what they feel themselves. An INFP is aware of what other people think. INFP’s don’t listen because they’re interested in how someone feels, they only care how they feel themselves. You’re wrong Type Police.
I deleted my initial comment because you did a better job clarifying towards the end of the video.
Edit: correction below this comment about INFP’s and feeling.
Agreed about Fe (fe user myself). "INFP’s don’t listen because they’re interested in how someone feels, they only care how they feel themselves." - That might be a bit strongly worded. Also, I snooped this dude's channel, and he's kind of all over the place. His Big Five personality test results were very interesting. I actually find myself resonating with him quite a bit, in a way that I don't typically experience with Fi users. He puts on an engaging (albeit somewhat manic) show in some videos and is more contemplative and/or scatterbrained in others.... you know, he's a moody dude... I get that. Juries out for me.
I should rephrase. INFP’s care about feeling comfortable and not if you’re comfortable. That’s what I mean by that except combined comfort and feeling for some reason. To correct myself, they do care about feelings but, I think it’s more of an interest in what a person’s experienced and the decisions they want to make.
This comment made me think Franktipus, thank you. It opened up an interesting discussion with my INTP other half (I'm an INFP). We realise that I don't give a damn how he *feels* about a topic because I already know how I feel - but I have no idea what to *think* about a topic so tap his Ti. Alternately he doesn't give a damn what I *think* about a topic because he already knows what he thinks - he has no idea how to *feel* about a topic so taps my Fi. I agree that as an INFP despite feeling bad about it (my Fe Nemesis making me worry I'm a bad person?) I do ultimately care more about my own comfort. I try and be more mindful of others now but that has come with maturity and not something that comes naturally to me as an Fi user. I think the way in which an INFP was parented plays a huge role here. If an INFP is raised in a loving home where their needs were met and from that place of 'comfort' were taught that other people's feelings matter too then you get an entirely different flavour of INFP. I don't think its fair to say ALL INFP's don't care about other people's comfort. It is a learned skill.
That makes sense.
As an INFJ, I strongly feel he is an INFJ because of relatability. But hey, maybe Im not actually INFJ. Only thing I cant relate to is his way of speaking. He seems to just... able to freely express his thoughts relatively well, in a detailed manner? Just bing bong bong bing (as Donald Trump would say). I dont know. But yeah, those "INFJ" eyes. I know you cant type just based on eyes, but... eyes...
But how is relatability a good argument? In theory you could have mistyped yourself and thus also identify with another mistyped person who thinks they're the same type? I am not saying you are mistyped...but in theory that is possible
I’m a little late chiming in on Frank here....however, after careful consideration, my guess is ESFP. I, too, see all the Fi, but that’s consistent with 2nd slot (and leads some ESFPs to feel they are introverted) and he radiates too much Se for it to be PoLR (as in an INFP) or even inferior (as in an INFJ).
Somebody call the police on me😂
just want to say a lot but or all comes down @ Eric enjoying this, and you are not only the right person to do this but also who can do this!!! and also chapeau that you are not afraid to pick out a 'big' guy with a lot of followers (devoted followers), what makes it even more tricky and interesting. because followers can react emotionally upset.
the music theme great idear!
and maybe the option that they can be on parole - not sure how to wright that.
like that you are not editing
My english and nu autocorrect is blah, but think I mean to say put some of them in forarrest.... wow all the things jou can do with your new concept, I am sure lots of you tube watchers have been wanting and hoping a knowledgable person would stand-up and do this job👨✈️👏👍🏻
Yes followers can react emotionally upset. They can also just flat out disagree especially those of us who are INFJs like FJ is an INFJ.
As a text book INFP I relate to his channel 100%
Amen!!!
Do Wenzes?
Yeah, haha... that would be interesting ;)
She’s definitely an INFJ imo
16:33 Frank James - INFP
18:16
Hes an enfp
Definitely not an INFJ. Most likely ISFP (at least Fi Dom)... My thoughts. Strong Se presence. Strong Fi internal confidence or any real lack of care whether his topic connects with his audience in a Fe way. Fi/Se artistry with filming and editing and presentation that is very viceral yet also highly personal. Inferior Ni projection of a specific future scenario that may happen into a major concern as though it has already happened (my ISFP sister does this all the time amd I think it may have something to do with lack of seeing other Ne possibilities) Te? Exactly. Where was there any unless as narrated it was demonstrated in a completely over the top manner that far exceeded the needs of the situation.
Anyway. Just my thoughts. Argue with me why I'm wrong. I just enjoy the game of working out types in my head and I never take anyone's personal word for it. Just can't. Goes against my grain. In fact it provokes me into taking the role of devil's advocate. Only way I can be sure in my mind.
And btw TWFP... I think you will need to go to jail as you don't stick to you own judgements as sergeant but revoke them too often which discredits yourself. Your findings mostly seem true to ke when you state them until you silly tertiary Fe hears others comments and i find you are dissuaded from the truth in the comments section. Stick to your initial unbiased intuition lol. Jokes... But seriously
pucokie just interviewed “female ENTP”
😂😂😂
I’m dead 😵
Kurtis1996 Yeah hahaha. I commented to see how many people would believe she’s ENTP. “She’s all over the place, must be Ne”. No. Thats called Ti polr...
Btw, I just saw your new video (was wandering about your type). That explained why you came across as Se and didn’t identify with Ne polr or inferior.
Andrés Coar so what type are you saying I am? Taylor thinks ESTP
Kurtis1996 In that video you came across as STP. I noticed in the original video that you projected an Se image, but I discarded besides a marker that sensor>intuitive. From what I can recall you didn’t fit Ne porl and neither inferior. So having it as a role function makes sense, not valued but decent enough. I though you were more individualistic in a Fi sense, but in your comments you say you like to overcome your enemy, the glory etc.... that indicates Se over Si and Fe over Fi. I think is a solid typing for now. You don’t seem Ti polr, so no ESFP. You cared too much to disregard bad/contradictory information to find or validate a truth like what does X function in X place. So we discarded all intuitives, then both SFJs, ISTJ, SFPs. The ones remaining are ESTP, ISTP and ESTJ. ISTP is off, ESTJ has too much Te, so ESTP seems fair. On top of that your values are Beta>Delta in the video.
So , im not the only one who doesn't see FJ as an INFJ ...(had that impression from the first time i saw a vid of him and it only became stronger after that... especially that vid where he took the big5 and scored minimally on conscientiouness , he may have taken that vid down though , would not be surprised by that) ... The info he gives though is often pretty on point , as in : he does seem to have studied the functions. But when it comes to describing his own mental processes , it doesn't seem to come out in any ''Ni kind of way'' (organized and abstract) ...
I'd like to be policed too but I'm not a RUclipsr. 😂 But indeed, I resonate with INFJ and others' feelings: I am less likely to feel another person's feelings than to think about those feelings. I tend to follow the person's train of thought and assume what they feel along with those thoughts. It feels deep, I guess, but it all comes from a very mental place at first before it goes to the "heart."
But what is it with INFJ and big eyes??? I notice too that a lot do that upward gaze when thinking.
vierblith make a RUclips video ! Haha
We seem to have big eyes - my optometrist even commented on mine! We also stare off to the left/middle distance whilst thinking as if we're looking for a ship coming in on the horizon.
@@AllieB-11.11 I also have this sudden turning my eyes to the right when I'm absorbing things and then an AHA will follow. But the funniest is when I'm looking up, thinking, and people will look up too, wondering if there's something on the ceiling. 😂
Types with big eyes usually just have a small skull. So the size is just relatively big. (A smaller supporting bone structure for the eyes)/ People who take HGH (human growth hormone) or other steroids typically tend to get smaller eyes, because their cheekbones and browbones grow bigger, which makes the visibility of the eyes smaller and less round-ish.
@@PowerRedBullTypology Scientifically speaking, yes. Makes you wonder if there's a correlation between skull size/shape (or is it the orbits) and type. Personally though, I am not sure if it's the size of the eyes, exactly, or if it's the intensity of the gaze. (I've never met an East Asian INFJ so I can't say if one would have bigger eyes compared to other East Asians.)
This came up in my playlist. Do I care if he is INFJ? Nah. I like his vibe and what he shares. He has said he may be mistyped. And?
Sorry to say this but your desktop is really unorganized and it's freaking me out.
Infp
Good job. James is a dead on INFP. Judge should ask what is his true motivation for taking the 'INFJ' handle.
Infps get less subs 😂
The 16Personalities MBTI test often mistypes INFPs as INFJs (and INFJs as INFPs) so he may legitimately have gotten an INFJ result and now views all he reads about INFJs through the lens of *knowing* that's his type. It's an easy error to make and having a pretty big following it would be tough for him to admit not only to himself that he's been mistyped but even more so to his large audience of followers. Additionally RUclips is full of INFPs (hello) and that makes us feel common and bland...it's definitely tempting to imagine we're something we're not (a rare INFJ). I often worry that maybe I've mistyped myself (as an INFP) but all the things I hate about myself fit pretty neatly into an INFP box...so I am pretty sure I'm not delusional ;)
@@ChaoticallyMe
- It could make sense that an INFP would think they're INFJ because INFP's are in a way quite 'judgy", cause their Fi judges stuff a lot .
- Are there actually more INFP's than INFJ's on youtube? It seems to me there are more INFJ's, but of course somehow youtube could just suggest me a lot of INFJ videos and not a lot of INFP videos of course..
@@PowerRedBullTypology - Definitely understandable, I'm married to an INTP and we're both very judgey with his Ti and my Fi :) Good point about RUclips suggestions skewing our observations. For me I feel like I've stumbled across INFPs in several different 'genres' on RUclips (ASMR, Van Life-Vegan-Minimalists etc.) but also seem to stumble across INFPs a lot in the comments section of all kinds of videos. It could totally just be that the kinds of things I'm interested in watching are attracting other INFPs and giving me the impression that we're everywhere ;)
@@ChaoticallyMe I would say it's indeed very plausible that other INFPs have somewhat the same interests. I'd say that veganism has huge over representation of types like INFP's (possibly the most common type there - just a guess)
Is it not hard being married to an INTP as INFP? It seems to me that whenever I'm with INFPs (i'm INTP) both seem so very stubborn about their judgements, that it seems hard to settle for stuff. They should be ethically correct and logically correct? They often seem contradictory.
What do you mean he’s going to jail?
I go to their house, put them in cuffs, and lock them in cages for months. There's a SUPER LOT of driving being in the type police, because I sometimes arrest people in several different countries in a single day..
Talking with Famous People Hilarious.
Yeah, this guy’s an INFP. This is worrying, all this misinformation being spread by these RUclipsrs.
You should do the INTJ/INFP cafe channel next for TypePolice. I believe their types are accurate, but the INFP girl seems really extroverted.
She's an interesting case I think. She does seem very extroverted in the videos, but at the same time not adaptable like ENFP's usually are. I'm not sure what to think of her. Her bunny ears and such seem quite INFP-like.
Calypso. Yeah, she goes down the road of some enfps insisting they are introverted. She recently did a video with an esfp. The dynamic was fascinating. I highly recommend watching that one.
She's enfp most likely but Alex is intj
@@ToddHa Is her name Calypso and she is Asian? Hahaha (INFJ)
Yes
Fe in 2nd spot is very experiential. Experience followed by introspection and analysis absent other people to fit it in our framework.
Kurt Cobain or Pauly Shore.
Oh, and of course...
" *GEE-TAR!* "
My intuition tells me, your emotions are involved in this one. I think you like Pucokie and the fact that she dated this guy, which i didn't know, triggered your dominance instinct, making you want to character assassinate the guy to display your higher value. i could say i dont care if he's an infj or not, but i am a fan of him and my emotions could be getting in the way making this a fucking mess. you've set it yourself that your emotions get in the way of grading your students.
hey you always seem so at peace with your life?, what is your secret? how do you deal with depression?
Being old helps. I'm a lucky guy. I have a good life. I feel annoyed sometimes when I'm out of drugs though.
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople so basically being a drugged guy helps ..;)
You are wrong here too! Frank James is an INFJ. He is an awesome INFJ. You have no clue. My family is INFJ and INFP people. You need to study more. Stop your judgement about all these people. You need to be fired. He inspires people. So how many people you get to like your page. He got millions and thousands of viewers you don’t come close. You are so wrong. Stop going after people. Stop judging. You have no right.
Ha ha ha... yes he is an INFJ. I concluded that sometime after this episode. Chill out lady, fercrissakes.
how did u guys type urselves? through cognitive functions? u seem to judge credibility based on how many people are subscribed to him
and I’m guessing, maybe even judge intelligence based on grades
He would be on the fence between I and E. Lots of my ENFJ brother in this. I'm INFJ and nowhere near as extraverted.
Congrats! This is the most annoying video I've ever encountered on RUclips. You really went above and beyond here. Incorrectly judging and typing another person would not have been annoying enough on its own. Thankfully, you added smoking, picking your teeth, and frequently pausing to make ignorant statements. Please don't quit your day job, as there's no award for this rare achievement.
Oh you silly goose. Think a bit before you comment.
Actually what you hate about this channel, I like. He's a real person...he's himself...just smokes and picks his teeth and whatever...that's who he is. I like that. But he is a bit full of himself and thinks he always knows the answer better than anyone else (which also reminds me of CS Joseph, another ENTP). But the "I know better than you...You all are stupid" is a little off putting to me. BUT it's ALSO being himself...so I guess that why I enjoy this channel. He's not fake.
Frank is 100% INFJ. I'm 100% INFJ and he is 100% like me. Honestly I don't think you chose his best videos. Also as most INFJs they are misunderstood. I guess this is the case right now as well.
My juror vote: Not guilty. He's an INFJ.
Due to inferior SE, isn't it common for INFJs to neglect physical needs/ sensations (I.e., hunger, sleep) until it's often too late?? IMHO, I think it would be completely understandable for an INFJ to finally take notice & become freaked out by the toothache that has forced him into the present-tense, in-the-moment reality and out of the internalized dream world of NI. Those SE moments are usually anxiety-provoking for us. For myself as an INFJ, my memory and attention to detail is often enhanced during SE demanding events, especially for the emotions I am/was feeling at the time of the SE event. I would argue that THAT is exactly what we are seeing here with FJ.
Furthermore, I understood SI to be memories about things in the past. Although the toothache was 1-2 weeks before the video, he was still describing his response to the event in the moment (SE). The details he provided were about his own perspective of the stressful SE event; otherwise, the info was pretty general and gave no indication of any tangible details (i.e., snowy weather, clothes he was wearing, how fast his brother was driving home). His memory was hyperfocused on his own SE experience of the event. And, again, he described his experience with heightened anxiety, suggesting that SE is low on his stack and not well developed.
Shannon Logue no it is also the case for Se at the 7th position/super-ego block Se
Se is objective details for Ni memory
Si is subjective details
his response would seem to be subjective
bcos he didnt focus on the tangible details like u said
lol pukoci said that frank is not manly hahahaha
She has also just said she thinks he's INFJ.
That was a misstatement on my part, what I really meant was masculine energy, which is not necessarily type related and he has said it himself. As far as him being manly or not, that is much more subjective, and my opinion is really not relevant in that regard.
@@pucokie obviously being masculine or feminine has nothing to do with type
@@bennyhinn7239 exactly!
pucokie has said he is an alcoholic, unstable, feminine , dump him and made like 3 videos bashing him... I think she is a narcissist and he was his victim
Wait wait wait... What...? What's going on here...? So... You claim here he's infp...right? And in your video about FJ you claim he's definitely an infj. Sorry, i am confused. I know that you've probably changed your mind or something but still... I'm confused and i had to share my feelings. (Maybe because i struggle with typing myself and i need confirmation that i'm an infj, hah, never mind.) Great video btw❤
Yeah, Sergeant Host Eric is sometimes a little trigger happy. Regular Host Eric is a little less hasty to throw someone in the slammer.
@@Talkingwithfamouspeople Ah, ok😁
@@thereisnospoon1109 The reason why he changed his mind is cause he realized tht his judgement was wrong. Most likely because in the first place he didn't actually verify what his type is. Now in his response to you he won't even admit that at a point in time in this life that he was just flat out wrong and gives you a bs excuse to not look bad, because if he looks bad in front of us he's gonna feel bad himself. Good job for seeing his discrepancies.
@@GVOESPEE np, i took that response as admitting that he was wrong. It's ok.
@@thereisnospoon1109 iGet that and that's good tht you did, but him being a content creator who has a following that relies on him for the accuracy of the information that he puts out on his channel. He should be more direct about taking accountability for his mistakes rather than being indirect by alluding to him acknowledging tht he was wrong, but not actually making a concrete statement that he was. Sorry, but seeing tht bothers my Fe critic do much that ican'thelp but express my feelings on the matter, juss my opinion tho. Kudos to your sensibility and understanding
this is so interesting! because FJ has so many followers that we accept that he is the type he says. as with a lot of others with a large community. He is for sure a really funny and interesting guy. I am not experienced in typing but I do notice INFP is very good at listening, without giving advise
Lol, I think he's ENFP😂
no wayyyyyyyy
A lot of people saying FJ might be an INFP, but to be honest, I've been thinking he's more INTJ. While I relate to much of his videos, I've also found myself not relating sometimes too. He also comes across as unusually clinical and cold sometimes. The youtuber Ren's Room is a more accurate INFJ to me.
My INFJ boyfriend actually complains that I don’t dump ENOUGH emotions on him. He says he needs it to connect to me in a meaningful way. He doesn’t like when I show less of how I feel than him. Fe-dom people love when others open up to them, and they actually need it to connect to others.
And this guy is talking quite a lot about how he feels, and never about how he is perceived or how he relates to others, which suggests Fi
Sounds like a real INFJ.
TheAwakenedINFJ right there with ya jonas remember when we commented on Em embracing franks kneck?
I love FJ. He’s INFJ cuz I’m a lot like him and I’m INFJ. Lol
This is wrong.
why?
Si dom ISFJ
The way he talks about Fe makes it seems like Fi. He definitely had me questioning my own understanding of it tbh.
When he said, "The truth is we can be a little cold at times." That's when I knew for sure he's either ENFP or INFP. Before that thought maybe ISTJ but that's something they wouldn't say. Fe critic/nemesis on display there. Plus his Ti trickster/demon is so obvious. Think he said something like, "Take whatever you wanna take from that" or something along those lines. Very obvious weak Ti and low Ni. His facial expression is that of an Fi user for sure, so he's absolutely not an INFJ.
After watching the rest of the video and reading some of the comments, we can safely conclude he's INFP. The way he councils INFJ about them absorbing other people's emotions screams ENFJ shadow. ENFP talks slightly faster and more like they're talking to an audience (even if just a single person they're kinda like that). He's more like talking one on one.
INFP 💯
