Your next step: write a book. I'm totally serious, please think about it. You are a cogent thinker, articulate spokesman, and I believe you are, in essence, a teacher. Among the many things I appreciate about this video, I love that you pull out old-school vinyl. You're an old soul, and that's part of your appeal. But dude, no cellophane should remain on your vinyl albums! I learned the hard way, back in the 80s (yes, I'm ancient) that the plastic continues to shrink, and will warp your records. Sadly, I have some hopelessly wonky Springsteen and Eurythmics albums to prove it. Please learn from my mistake! I love your content, Frank; for me, you're the most relatable KZfaq creator out there. And I'll add this: Your VEDA videos are among my all-time favorites of yours. You have, I think, a new-found confidence and comfort-level in front of the camera that shines through.

Motive = Feeling Reason = Thinking

I love you frank. your charm chokes me up like a beatles song.

Been listening to "In my Life" all day today. I got so teary when hearing it for the first time. Just beautiful! Thanks FJ

The thinking vs feeling is so tricky in relationships, and hard to get just right. You can be super intellectually compatible with someone and even find them attractive, but there just isn’t that extra feeling of magic to it, but you can have these strong irresistible feelings for someone that doesn’t make any rational sense to be with. It seems that psychology often explains this through childhood attachments. But this doesn’t get us any closer to understanding what’s right for us. Though if we are heavy on the F, probably a relationship won’t feel satisfying if those strong feelings aren’t there.

Though I'm not an INFJ, you're becoming one of my favourite KZfaqrs. I was literally looking forward for today's video. #BeatlesForever

This is a random comment that I’m leaving here. When I finally let my guard down (wish that guard would just go the f away) I finally reach out to people. And you know what? That’s what we’re supposed to be doing as human beings. Talking to each other, working and laughing together, helping each other. You are doing all that with your channel, and I thank you for that inspiration.

I looove examples with music and lyrics, I grew up listening and analyzing lyrics on my own all the time, and I love when other people do it too!

YES! I'm loving the Beatles analogies!

I loved it. I like to think as an infj I'm pretty balanced on this one. I'm heavier on the thinking in business and heavier on the feeling in social life. The thinkers can be a bit more emotionally out of touch in relationships but be more grounded to the external facts of everyday life responsibilities like taking care of finances Etc. They collect data from the five senses predominantly. Feelers are more in tune with the soul Realm and are grounded by the unseen World of intangible values. The answer to the why questions are a huge motivation to them.

Could you possibly talk more about The Beatles and maybe even other music? You have a way of explaining things in such an emotional way and without losing sensibility. Would love to see you review records ❤️

I always struggle when it comes to thinking and feeling, like for example, I start thinking about something and suddenly it turns to feelings if that makes any sense. Great video man​.

I love the Beatles, so I was excited when I woke up to this video on my birthday

Frank! You’ve done! Your channel is my Favorite cuz I’ve been a huge Beatles Fan forever. Great video Mate!

You’re so deep and I absolutely love your Beatles analogies! Keep up the great work.

"Bring the man to me." The songs at the end make my day. Sometimes it's difficult to understand whether I'm thinking about something and being super rational or if it's just my feelings towards something. I think the way you explain it. As always great video FJ.

I'm really enjoying all you're sharing with us this month 😁

It’s so inspirational seeing how far you’ve come Frank. I’ve watched you for almost 4 years.❤❤❤

I love that you made a vid talking about the Beatles. I was gonna suggest that yesterday, and here you did it. ☺️

You absolutely glow when talking about the Beatles. RESPECT!! Also dawned on me how perfect an example of how double deciding works when you read GHs lyrics to a Northern Song. You can almost feel the Fe Ti talking to each other. Thanks FJ!

Man, you're really enjoying video editing. I love it.

What an original way to interpret these functions! This has made me see these lyrics in a whole new light : )

Thank you Frank for this great video!!! "In my life, I love you more...." brought me a tear ....

I think I feel good about this video you made. Really like your outro songs because honestly it's such a delight to laugh at 6AM.

This is the best video I could ask for. My 2 favourite things, MBTI and the Beatles.

Cool jingles at the end of your videos. I experience the world with feelingy sort of feelings.

Loved the beatles analogy, Shoehorn it right in as it works 😊

In this video you combined my love for mbti and the Beatles. This is it bro. You have reached the top 😊.

Great Morning stretch from our man FJ! More Beatles yay! 👨‍🎤✌ and love!

Another smart cookie assessment. Thanks for clarity & discernment. These points actually make a BIG DIFFERENCE in how we communicate. 💘📘🤫

Thank you, FJ! For me personally, it's harder to understand than Sensing vs. Intuition. But you gave us a great explanation. Please do more of these videos. Extremely appreciated)

I love that you used The Beatles to explain this concept in a very simple yet effective way. Also like you, I can't help getting choked up when i listen to or even think about 'In My Life'. Guess that's my INFJ traits kicking in. Also thanks for talking about George. He's my favorite.

Thank you, FJ! I love this type of explanation. That song...oh the feels. It's the 50th anniversary of The Beatles: Yellow Submarine film. They're having a screening of it here at the end of the month. No list of reasons needed to go.

I enjoyed your Beatles idea. So I paused your video. I started thinking of classical music. Sure enough a whole slue of classical musical writers popped up. I have to tell you it was amazing to listen to all the different styles. I enjoyed them all. Some would drive me insane if I wasn’t in the mood. Others I could really sense their vibe. Not that I understand all MBTI yet. I’m only in the learning phase. I did find the INFJ more relaxing for me. I think I’m an INFJ still exploring. Sometimes I get lost and have to find my way out. What a hoot 🦉! Hooty Hoo! I don’t know if that means anything but certainly gives me another way of checking things out. I first thought of Mozart and found that much more aggressive than others. Thank you! 😊 it makes me smile. You’re a genius!

the beatles rock my heart and soul...grew up as a teen in the 80s in THIS is what i listened to...no cyndi lauper, janet jackson, metallica....beatles. hits my heart

Perfect outtro for this vid. I think the scales symbolize Feeling. Its weighing/evaluating what's more important and may be what a person likes. I don't think its about emotions per say. Although, people can have strong emotions on the things they value. More often than not, the best decisions coming from combining Thinking & Feeling. The brain and the heart are both satisfied.

I’m really enjoying listening to you talk about music history/lyric meaning. 💛

Good Morning, Professor James. Thank you from Annie in Oregon

u r the one who got me into the bugs so ty

"simplify simplify" -Kanye

Just the fact you actually have the old school vinyls...oh man, that’s just beautiful. Now I’m choked up...

So, Paul is more sensing and thinking, and john is intuition and feeling. This is great. A very interesting angle on Beatles, man!! I love it

Thanks for helping explain though Beatles' songs. This really helps me understand how this concept works. 😊👍

I'm finding this hilariously mindblowing. I'm an F (in theory) and referencing "When I'm 64" as practical and thinking from Sir Paul is fascinating to me. My absolute shot in the dark guess based off this video and my own thoughts and feelings on McCartney and Lennon is that Sir Paul is a T and Lennon an F.....and I've always preferred the simplicity with which Sir Paul has sung about love. In addition to the one you used as an example, my personal favorite love song of his is "I Will." This is so fascinating. I love that you've used the Beatles to illustrate and educate. It only I'd stumbled across you and this sooner.

You're really funny I subscribed right away :)

I loved this...thank you.

I know very few songs of the Beatles, but you squeezed me with In My Life. and I can't go to bed now.

Yessss another beatles video

I like you. And your channel. And this video. Hope you have a great day!

I am loving your outro music lately.

You know that one teacher you had in school that was way too excited about the subject she was teaching? And it made you laugh at her and how rambunctious she got over telling you things? And then you realized that you retain the information so much better because she put it in a way that almost drew you in? That's the feeling I get when you discuss music on your Channel. I've been neglecting learning things musically for maybe a decade I've just been kind of stuck. I just listen to things because they sounded good to my ears and didn't put much thought into the meaning behind it. I thought maybe it was just because I was getting older and had different priorities but now I realize this spark was still there for how much I love music and how much I want to know about music. So thank you very much for that! And now I've got a question for you. In relation to Myers-Briggs do you think that there is a band that encompasses a healthy balance for infj specifically?

When you ended the video the rhythm made me think of, "Hey! You've got to hide your love away." Thinking & feeling? I believe it is on one of the anthology albums. I truly enjoyed this, and as a INFJ music can help me to recharge.

Thanks for including George this time. He's a possible fellow INFJ ;)

Love this!

I love that song. That song ALWAYS makes me cry. "There are places I remember......

Well, I guess we can add yoga to your ever-lengthening list of skills, because that stretching was top-notch. :) It's interesting to note that T types seem to be able to use their more developed logic and reason to make an emotional appeal. In "When I'm Sixty-Four," the imagery of a cottage, grandchildren, etc, evoke emotions such as well-being, security, and contentment. And perhaps F types can sometimes use their feelings to reach more sound conclusions than someone who aims for objectivity alone. The first example that comes to mind is how Winnie the Pooh will often say something very wise and thoughtful, while Rabbit can't see what's right under his nose because he has too many pre-conceived notions that he assumes are fact.

Fraaank, My boyfriend is now watching your videos with me. :) He really appreciated you talking about Northern Song! Hope you are well. :)

Great post this morning FJ. Of course In My Life can rip our hearts right out of our throats!! I'm not sure if it's just me or my synesthesia but for me all of your examples leave me Both thinking and feeling :) Not many years back I had a house full of 25-30ish folks visiting and Not a One of them had ever seen nor heard of Yellow Submarine!!!! Can you even imagine such a thing?!?! So I put it on for them and sat back to watch their reactions :) Priceless is all I can say, absolutely priceless! Who raised these kids that they'd never even heard of or seen Yellow Submarine!!! Blasphemous!!!! Fyi, my Yellow Submarine lamp and some first edition Beatles LP's for sale in pristine condition and kept in heavy plastic sleeves for sale or trade. From some things you've said in other KZfaq's in think you're only a couple hours south of me or less. I'll gladly trade you those for doing my very, very easy taxes :D And it's very pretty up here for a fun day adventure. There's even a Drive-in :)

Revolution 9: deconstructing music and culture while still adhering to rhythmic and semiotic motifs and progressions while evoking a perhaps not always pleasant emotional response. (Beatles thinkers song example; Ne/Ti imo) Great video. Your humor is fucking lovely.

Another cool vid for this morning, Frank. Today, I'm celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary with my wife that I met online, and we're both Beatles fans who were getting married for our second time. One of the funny coincidences we found out about each other before we met each other in person is that we both picked "In My Life" as our father-daughter/mother-son song to dance to at our wedding receptions for our first weddings. And we both joke from time to time about the "When I'm 64" song. Anyway, the combination of your mentions of those two songs and online dating in addition to the timing of my anniversary was totally worth dropping a comment on here. Usually, I just hit the like button and/or type a long comment that I end up deleting before sending. Keep on keeping on.

Rubber Soul is my favorite. I'm going to tell you a beautiful story and then ask a stupid question. I played "In My Life" at my wedding. The wedding party had already walked down the aisle, and my dad and I stood at a balcony that was sheltered by a wall of ivy. The saxophone quartet started playing and I played the first verse on my flugelhorn. I could only see a few faces. The flugelhorn for me is such an instrument that I don't ever have to try - the sound just pulls out of me. When I turned around my dad had tears streaming down his face. I had been so calm until that point. He walked me down the stairs and I got married. My husband didn't know I was planning on doing that. (Kind of made it awkward when he asked if he could do the mother/son dance to "In My Life.") I think I was confused by something in another video, so could you please clarify if you have time - T/F are the judging functions? It makes sense, BUT why is Ni the dominant function of INFJ? I think I missed something. For some reason I had it in my mind like the J meant that a judging function was the dominant function, so I thought N/S were the judging functions. Your channel is inspiring me a lot in these last few days. :) Take care.

I'm so glad this channel is cage free, but, is it also organic and gluten free? I'm sensitive :/

You are an awesome teacher 🤓😊

I´d generally say that Feelers tend to interpret more meaning into their emotions, they can´t stand the fact there might be the possibility this heavy reaction they´re experiencing is not of much or sufficient value.

I finally get! Thanks!

As a huge Beatles I've been digging the MBTI/Beatles vids. I'd love it if you could type the other Beatles besides John. I think it'd be especially interesting to see George typed as he's often considered an INFJ. I'd love to see if you agree with that assessment. I also really appreciate Only a Northern Song. Jamie Hoover did a pretty cool cover of it. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out. It's not as weird as the original, but I find it interesting as it's a totally different take on the song...much more upbeat.

I love your channel because of you and your personality. You make me laugh, going over Myers Briggs and that is quite a feat. Maybe take that Rubber Soul out of the plastic! If it gets hot that’s insulation and you could warp your vinyl, man! 😱

Hey Frank! Could you please do these videos for all the types? I vs E and J vs P? These videos are really helpful to me, since I don't know myself very well anymore, but I want to. And the way you explain it... just makes so much sense.

Interesting interpretation...10 Years and TOOL have some pretty good thinking vs feeling songs. You should check em’ out if you haven’t ;) Have a good one, Frank.

Super helpful. Frick... Thank you so much!! Edit: The part where James compared thinking to a resume and feeling to a dating profile. You wouldn't normally put your resume on a dating profile. I got confused with the music. They both sound like Thinking to me or atleast based on how they were described

FJ-I enjoy and learn so much from you that this INTP is actually taking 10 seconds to tell you. You can say "cool" but of course, don't expect a follow-up comment... just know that I am still here....watching....analyzing....planning...accomplishing very little of course....

I'm an INFP watching this channel. This is cool

I would like to see more of these comparisons using Beatles songs, especially P/J

in my life always makes me feel some type of way too. john’s keyboard solo too!!!

Thanks for including George. I love George

Yes! Uncaging my mind here

I value objectivity but maybe I do because I feel like it’s the right thing to do. I remember learning about the scientific method in the third grade I still have that text book, if only I thought more. Thanks for the videos.

Not a big Beatles fan but I think I got your point about Feeling and Thinking. I had a drink in a yellow submarine once. It was a bar in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia. It was an actual WW2 submarine painted yellow.

Thank you, FJ, for explaining the differences between the functions. One of my primary grievances with the MB test is you take it, it gives you insight into how you think, but no one else. And that's a problem for introverts cus 70% of the pop are extroverts. And that's a problem for INFJs because we often smell when something is amiss, but can't really explain why, and then that thing turns out to be bigger than we imagined. And I'm sorry for feeding into paranoia

I saw the Beatles album cover in the thumbnail, I clicked subscription.

I feel a super deep connection to the Beatles too. Always have

YES! ANOTHER BEATLES VIDEO!

You crack me up!

It chokes me up to think of you getting choked up over a song, typical INFJ

Who needs to go to the gym to work out when you can do yoga with FJ ;) lol! The explanation of T vs. F is hilariously stretched , but it actually makes a lot of sense! I’m really digging those songs at the end of the videos (:

Can you do a Q&A one day and share your fav songs from the Beatles one day????

My daughter lifted all my Beatles records and I let her have them. She is a profound Beatles fan. Millenials are wonderful and I feel more in touch with them than my own generation. Maybe Beatles songs are etched in my heart or I took them for granted as I released my records to her. But were old yard sale scratchy records. This makes me want to start a new pristine collection, and play the lovelies on my record player. Will cost a pretty penny me thinks. I did obsessively listen to Beatles and Elvis in Junior High, a bit retro then even, saving up all my allowance to order an album called History of British Rock. Phases of two obsessions at a time with music, a pattern. And I ramble.

When I'm 64. Thinking...with feeling not far behind. Great song choice. Feeling and thinking is in the back...I think!: )

Gah! I came to this video after reading up on both T and F and I still came away on the fence. I use both! All of my other functions were quite easy to discern (INxJ) , but for some reason I can’t seem to pinpoint which of the judging functions are dominant in me. Is there a way to discern between the two when it quite literally depends on the situation?

I love him. So much. Thinking 💚 Feeling

lol you’re the best!

I am a T person (INTP) and The Beatles are my favourite band in Universe. My favourite Beatles' song is "In my Life", it's so amazing how John described that sense of nostalgia. I can feel it. I love feelers singers songwriters, as John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, James Blunt, because they make me connect me with my inner feelings. It is so good cry listening a great song.

Dunno ....Thinking or feeling songs are ultimately all “feeling” songs to me ..... they either trigger or nurture emotions that very little else can. Music either helps to make sense of some abstract thoughts or deep set feelings or I’ll use music to communicate and influence my own thoughts/feelings ....neurologically, in the neurosciences there’s some great evidence for how music influences neurotransmitters, grey matter and cognition. Great book to read is Daniel Levitin’s ‘This is your Brain on Music’ ........now why did I say all this again?

Rocky Raccoon is one of my (INFP) faves because it's so weird so I totally get your reasoning.

I’ve been an INTP for most of my life, but I think I’m becoming an INFP. Thanks for this explanation!

Feelers generally ask for example their child what colour shoes they want out of a and b (even if its same shoes) whereas thinkers don't see logic in asking for preference if it's same shoe or any point in asking since they're just a child.

Ok everyone, pull out your Sergeant Pepper :D Also Only a Northern song is possibly my favourite Beatles song, thanks for bringing that up

Maybe you could do some Wings’ songs in your next video 👍🏻

I dont really understand it all about the mbti, but it seems to me that intuition and feeling really get along, while sensing and thinking get together pretty well too. It all sounds kind of the same to me. If a person preceive the world by intuiting, he gets everything in his mind via abstract ideas, it sounds to me like he feels everything. Nothing has an actual reason, its just feels right or feels wrong. And the same goes for sensing and thinking- if you precive the world by your five senses, if you view it all in a concrete way, doesnt it mean that you will probably also make decitions the same way? By stating actuall reasons for something? Objective reasons, based on facts, facts that you know because you used your senses? How can it be anyway different? Again, theres a lot I dont quite understand about it, Im not sure everything I wrote here made sense...

Hahahaha!! Bravo!! Enjoyed doing yoga with you Frank
