    My eldest is an ENFP and he’s a chatterbox, jumping from idea to idea, it’s hard to get a word in edgewise and he always corrects what others are saying, but doesn’t really actually correct them because he interjects his opinion not fact, and doesn’t even finish explaining his opinion before going off topic. He’s bossy, dominant and extremely funny. My second child is an INFP, she’s extremely introverted, artistic, creative and highly academic, but similarly to her big brother, she will get really chatty sometimes, continually interrupt and start telling off topic stories. My 3rd child is an INTP, and both his older siblings talk over him, and he lets them, in fact the INFP constant tries to talk on his behalf, but he will cut in and correct her, because he’s extremely logical and factual and her opinions in not fact, he’s quick to point that out. The youngest is an ENFJ who has all of the ideas in the world, often with a well formulated structure and order to those ideas too, and wants to express her plans to change our lives, but usually just ends up crying because the ENFP and INFP have taken the conversation in so many directions and changed the topic so many times, that she can’t actually express her ideas for the bigger picture. Lol! It’s a mad house 😂

      Just big 😊 😊😊😊😊😊
      It sounds SO funny!
      Your whole family seems to have no problem to communicate one another due to no big barriers b/w S and N so no struggles but their different ideas or opinions.
      I feel I became a human since I understand sensory language at least at work 🙃
      EN types are at least able to be across S&N but IN seems to have hard time at their younger age to fit in.
      I can imagine how only EN and IN interaction looks like in your family. It would be fantastic and never be dull for sure 😅
      Ps;
      I feel
      House -> community -> world -> universe
      S conversation usually stay in their house so their language is very specific and detail
      EN conversation usually stay in their community and world and occasionally in their house so their language is way more broad and fluid like since most people can at least understand what they say.
      IN conversation usually stay in the world and universe and occasionally in the community and rarely in their house. Their language is extremely abstract and theoretical for INxP or in their own system especially for INxJ, who don’t follow the system but build up their own system so most people have no clue on what they want to say lol 😂
      Becoming a human for INxx types is a challenge for sure.
      Becoming a human feels like being captured in a small cage though 😅😅

    I feel like seriously.. from all my exes, partners! I have never been understood so deep and trusted as my wife (INFP) as an ENFP , few people can hang with you when u go steroid mode on the NE! Most people fall off and dont quite understand what is happening. INFP will ground u when needed, but will fucking let u do ur thing and motivate u in ur passion.. and at the same time, I help my infp wife to get more out in the world. Get new experiences.. so we create harmony in our relationship 😍
    My exes were ESFJ and ESTJ and they were like worse ever 😂😂
    Intj, infj and intp are great as friends, but I could never have them as partners.

    Great video! As an ENFP who thought I was an INFP for a long time, the other major factors that helped me realize I was an ENFP is that emotion/values alone are not enough when I am making decisions. I need logic to align; otherwise, I have a very hard time making a decision and can be incredibly indecisive. Also, repressed Si can translate into hypochondria, which is something I struggle with a lot - I have way too many things I want to accomplish in life and not enough time to do them all and the threat of a serious illness is my biggest fear for this reason. Hopefully this rant demonstrates what balance between Fi-Te and imbalance between Ne-Si looks like

      As INFP, based on my experiences through my coworkers and my younger brother, their Ne go too far without processing through from the surface to the depth but it’s VERY pleasant and easy to communicate with but I can not rely on them.
      Fi in INFP brings questions on them
      Fi in ENFP makes them fly with their feelings.

    10:50 Hands down the best description ever. For years my test results were INFP and I even thought that I'm an introvert since my so called battery is super low capacity and the stereotypes about ENFP are super energetic, super happy, super positive everything and loud all the time... and it's just not me. My BPD undiagnosed autism and social anxiety just take too much of my mental capacity, I'm timid and literally tired all the time, I'm a master ENFProcastrinator. After I understood the cognitive functions, and especially the shadow and trickster functions were clear I'm indeed an ENFP. Never thought about it but actually I never enjoyed activities alone, I could play by myself alone for hours just fine but I always need at least one companion to connect with and be on the same wavelength. However I hate crowd and large groups of people, I'm an ambivert so I like around 5 people at max and focus on 1-2 person at the time and bombard them with my questions. I just pick up small details and put them together quite good. As I read reddit ENFP who are just not this stereotype, it was just made by shallow people who can only see the top of the iceberg.
    Even tho I'm not an INFP, I still love them ☺, they are fascinating, When I met actual INFPs I was amazed. Their creativity is awesome, similar to us but focused down on a point like a magnifying glass do, so they can create insanely good stuff. I never realized they are actually hard to open up to people because I open them up in seconds so I thought that's normal. They need pull out their shell to show the world their greatness. Like a shy kid at the talent show who makes the crowd drop their jaw.
    So back to the bird example, if you let us fly or show us some love when we're down, we will take your hand and you can fly with us. we make sure you will feel the same as we are.

    Very interesting. I relate more to the ENFP, but people around me see me as more introverted for some reason. I feel like I move between INFP and ENFP a lot. I do struggle with routine, but I also struggle to conform, though I will do it if I have to e.g. cutting my hair shorter to get a job, though it took me two years to reach that point haha.

    Any INFP's who do attach to the bad Si memories and make yourself feel depressed over and over again for years on end? I am always looping and can become a quite negative person and be hard on myself. Anyone else like this? Also any INFP's with ADHD who are also pretty bad with Si along with Te?

      The world we live in is not healthy AT ALL so INxx types are more likely experiencing the existential crisis since INxx types minds or brains operate at different levels for the reality.
      Only way to overcome is knowing yourself very well and going along with the main stream in the world but still aware of what is true on yourself and reality.
      ADHD?
      Dumb down population can not see more that their levels.
      Basically knowing yourself is a starting point to get rid of all labels this sick society label INxx types.
      Cheers and continue growing mentally emotionally spiritually physically 🙃😅😊
      Ps; sensors or EN are programmed based on superficial reality plus EN god complex but that’s our objective reality they claim so INxx types turn into some strange creatures among robot like humans ; easily to be trained and programmed but no own thoughts or question on whatever come up! EN god complex takes to another level though!
      Zachary Denman helps us see true insightful reality.
      Based on my self study, INxx types are living as how humans are supposed to be so don’t hard on yourself but be strong to keep who you are but get along with the main stream for our sake😇

    OH... MY GOD! So I am an ENFP after all! For a very little difference! I was so so confused between these 2 specially because tests type me as INFP, maybe because I am a little bit more quiet or introverted than the average ENFP or the ENFP stereotype. I thought I was INFP, like i was so sure but it didnt suit me that much... This is kind of a relief because I didnt like being INFP... It was not fun lol 😂 THANK YOU!❤❤❤

    There is something a little paradoxal and fun with theses 2 types and it's interesting.
    Surely because : ENFP Extrovert driven by intuition, and INFP Introvert driven by deep emotions.
    That I noticed :
    Intuition N and thinking T look like more detached from the animated/social real world SF. (I noticed the T & N, look less extroverted than the S & F types.)
    INFP : Introvert but Decider, take decisions quickly.
    ENFP : Extrovert but Observer, on this part look like Ni dom, more calm and relax at first view.
    I noticed both INFP & ENFP are attracted to us INTJ, and seems ambiverts. Due to the combination.The e with the N, and the i with the F, is really something a little maybe weird. Even if I think all types have their own weirdness and uniqueness.
    It's not like the Ni Dom, very detached, and the Se Dom very in the world.

    • @Ella-qg4bq
      @Ella-qg4bq 2 года назад +2

      I sort of disagree to some parts.
      The quality of Ne in INFP & ENFP is not the same.
      ENFP Ne want possibilities related to reality and want to fly with Fi. They are oriented by reality.
      Ne in INFP is related to ifs and pursues truths through why/how. Their authentic approach appears judgmental however, they just express how they feel. Their back mind continues thinking of and keep it open until they dig the bottom of truth though. INFP are not only observers but also listeners.
      EN is heavily attached to reality
      IN is attached to not only reality but also way way way more deeper.
      INxx types are not easy to be understood vs EN for sure since we easily see EN due to their outward behaviors vs hidden agenda in IN.
      I never have seen IN want mind games but EN always willing to involve mind game and they are good at.
      In general,
      EN bring psychological drama to their workplace. IS are good people vs ES are basically like immature childish behaviors; ESFP/ESTP are like wild children who can not control their instinct. ESTJ strict rule followers without common sense and ESFJ at least but still live on the surface in reality 100%.

    Great video! It would also be interesting to see a comparison between INFP with INTP. I suspect these two types are extremely similar in many ways. When you talk about the INFP, I see a lot of myself in it. Except I think I'm an INTP because I'm known for having high logical reasoning ability. But like the INFP, I'm usually pretty reserved and laidback until something comes up that I feel very strongly about -- then I'm more expressive. However, I tend to support my point of view with logical reasoning, which is something I suspect the INFP is not as good at doing. For example, I feel strongly about equality between types in the typology community (I'm against bias towards certain types resulting in unfair portrayals and even discrimination towards those types) -- and I would argue about that issue by using facts and logic. So I think INTPs are similar to INFPs in that they both have issues they "care" a lot about, but the INTP will just approach it in a more logical manner. At least that's my understanding so far.

    • @pearlsb45wine
      @pearlsb45wine 2 года назад +3

      I understand and have this self-typing "issue" as well. I will say that you're likely an INFP since Fi is/can be ambiguous in what it chooses to "value". Another approach to take would be to look at the 4 sides of the mind model for INTPs & INFPs. Both have Ni as their critic function.
      Also, remember that feeling IS considered a "rational" function just like thinking and has/ is ultimately more concerned with how things rank based on value, not the more commonly perceived feel-y, squishy "irrational" feelings.

    Is it possible for someone to be both ENFP and an INFP ? Depending when I take the test I get different results. I hear your explanation about the differences, yet sometimes I am exactly like an ENFP and sometime like an INFP. Sometimes I get things started and adventurous will to try out new things… Other times I cannot get things started. At time I enjoy the crowd and can be the center of attention, yet I am shy inside and a bit socially awkward but nobody see’s that… Yet at other times I just watch other in groups of friends and wish I could join in, but don’t know where to start. Is it possible to be both ENFP and INFP or can one switch back and forth. I really am perplexed… as I have times that I feel I am one or the other. I am so confused.

    • @define2675
      @define2675 2 года назад +1

      Very valuable question but the answer is much more complicated than you’d probably like. The obvious answer for one is that tests can be very inaccurate for this reason always being wrong and changing depending on the day, this can play into apart our mental state how we’re feeling, or just the state we are in for our lives. But, i think the answer i want to give you is that we humans are complicated and understanding ourselves to the fullest extent is a troubling task. For one, we can not mirror our types perfectly, so you getting an ENFP result instead of an INFP one can mean that you may be more Ne reliant, so a bit more extroverted. But, that doesn’t change whether or not your type must be different. So then you ask, ok how do you understand? Well you look at your other functions and how do they relate to yourself. It takes a lot of time and completely unbiased research to understand this stuff so don’t feel like you’re different or lacking for really not understanding. To your question, by definition no you can’t be both, but you can relate to both while being one to the other, and especially so if they have the same functions. But, to end here realize you aren’t your type but a unique version of it, where there you and a small portion of you is that type. Hope this helps.
