Cmon, we all are very creative in procrastination

"I have pain- I need to express it" - A very accurate quote for me and my fellow INFP's

Idk which personality frank chooses but, INFPs really are one of the most creative personalities at finding new ways on how to procrastinate.

・16 personalities on the beach ・16 personalities in the principal's office ・16 personalities getting lost ・16 personalities in the haunted house ・16 personalities reading the instruction manual ・16 personalities on a field trip　 ・16 personalities as taxi drivers

Im that person that has really good idea but doesnt know how to execute it properly and in the end left it unfinished and starts a new idea. My life - INFP

I am an INFP and a poet. I like to come up with images that are bizarre and out there to communicate emotions and ideas. I draw a lot from my feelings and personal life. I definitely fit with the idea of introverted feelers trying to express their pain. I want to have people who understand me, but still be somewhat mysterious. A quote that resonates with me as a creative is “Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide” - D.W. Winnicott

Me as an INFP: I have pain that I need to get out I need to express it Also me: I want to express something. I NEED PAIN (proceeds to watch a heavy drama and write a poem after)

As an INTP artist (and poet), people always mistake me for being an INFP due to feelers always being stereotyped as creatives. I want to mention that thinking doesn't necessarily mean being cold and calculating, and that Thinking creators also exist!

As an ENFP, I find that I'm most creative when I'm not trying to be creative. 😊🎶 I can compose music that I like when I improvise but have a hard time when I force myself to compose in my head using manuscripts. I also enjoy writing but it's hard when there are deadlines.

This transformed into “Which of the 16 personalities are creative in which ways?” almost immediately, just as all the SJs expected.

I'm an INTJ, and I love fantasy writing. Getting transported to another world and being able to communicate that expands the horizon for what you believe is possible, in my experience.

I almost caught this live. Literally clicked on it and heard "stay cool and attractive" and then it was over. So close!

I believe the NF types tend to be the most creative, but hey any type can be creative and every type is, in its own way, super unique and creative!

ENTP here. It’s fascinating to see all these S types talking about how creative they are at following rules. By the way, it’s not random, we just don’t have the patience to pull the car over so some people can orient their maps.

As an INFP I find it hard to be creative under even mild pressure and I really need externally imposed structure, which is why I picked a more conventional career path. I think a lot of INFPs go into less "creative" careers for this reason, and I think a lot of creative types get mistyped as INFP (Marcel Proust for example)

"I HAVE PAIN" Man, that was so true I laughed

That countdown before the premiere was so absorbing

Frank: It's possible that the extraverted intuitive types are the most creative. Ne users: We already knew that.

As an ENFP. My connections and ideas I explore are never random to me. Like they make complete sense and I often don’t realise other people don’t know it. An example of this is in conversation with someone where I jump seemingly randomly between topics and brainstorming all these ideas and concepts that other people can’t keep up with. But I’m living in my happiest state and most other people are like “what?!”. I love it when I have another XNXP in those situations who can also see these links or offer new ones of their own that we can explore and Bounce ideas off of. I’m defiantly at my best when I can do that.

As an INTJ, I've started writing a fantasy novel. It's very cerebral and makes you think for yourself about different universal questions, as it doesn't give an explicit answer by the end. This is the way I love to express my creativity, through writing that can sort of guide someone through different ideas while still being entertaining.

INTP: Writer, concept artist, video game programmer/designer/artist/musician-eventually... The "What ifs" never stop in my head.

“I have pain, I have to express it” I am an INFP and that is literally the best INFP quote in the history. I really am into writing and it really makes me express myself through the emotions of the characters I create.

INTP, as one myself, and being in an art community on Instagram, you do come across INTP's so I think they definitely are creative in some aspects especially on deeper lvls. I pride myself on being creative, being able to create things in my head but struggle to convey it. and being able to be aesthetic, just understanding what's pretty and what's not, "sensing" as Frank said.

Frank may be only an INFJ but his knowledge and understanding make him a Sage of 16 Personalities

darker sketches: 16 personalities/the enneagram -having depression -having anxiety -having the virus -at a funeral -as a cult leader

As an ISFP and an artist who tries the best to be creative, I relate to everything you said about it

Ngl I'm kinda curious how the 16 personalities will react when the pandemic ends

As I'm sure you're well aware Frank, Fe isn't just "what do people enjoy?" it's also, "what do people need to come out of this?"

I think why there's so many INFP's on this channel isn't because there's a lot of us, (which ik is also true) it's just that we're generally the only ones who look for this type of video.

I'm a Book Reviewer and Editor so a lot of my creativity is involved in an appreciation and love for the written word. There is intuitive thinking analysis to discover deeper meaning in the books like theme and metaphor. Also, the judgemental ability to critique books by weighing what I like and don't like and building that network by scheduling my entries and sticking to deadlines. Also because I work from home that plays on my introversion and private time to explore those deep thoughts in literature. So I consider it a perfect career for an INTJ.

16 personalities in the Hunger Games? -INTP Love your videos, FJ! thanks for introducing me to MBTI!

As a classic ENFP, this is very true for me. I’ve been in sales and visual arts my entire life. I love listening to these videos because I feel like I’m finally putting the pieces of myself together and seeing the puzzle that is me;).

ENFP, is my prediction before the premiere. Why? Ne as sensitivity for scouting opportunities and strange connections, Fi to put it in their unique perspective, Te to carry it out into an organised product, and Si to manage the fabrication process and details. Edit: ;D

I consider myself highly creative as an INTP. I'm self-employed, and my job is to bridge the abstract with the tangible, by grounding broad concepts with logic or some sort of schematic. The shock value bit was dead-on. I love blowing the minds of unsuspecting people. My motive is to present my findings, connections, and fundamental basis for applied philosophy or ethics, with the goal to ultimately let the person decide their own interpretation. I don't ever argue to be right, that's too relative, I argue (discuss) to be challenged because my creative side lives for that; it helps expand my theories. Yes, I love making "mental systems of connections", however, I equally love reorganizing them, tweaking them, refining them, and sometimes, I start from scratch, for fun. I'm grateful you didn't gloss over us with some lame joke about being a robot whilst completely invalidating the inherently creative nature rooted in the act of seeking to make connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. I like to think of INTPs as "seekers" but many types may feel the same; I'm not restricting the act of "seeking" to just INTPs, as it relates to dismantling and recreating the connections we observe, however, INTPs are excellent pattern seekers and that goes well beyond programming, gaming or whatever other general stereotype attributed to INTPs suggest. There is a lot of beauty in patterns, we just aren't always aware we are observing one. A beautiful piece of music, a dance, a piece of art, a mathematical formula, the plotline of a play (as well as the archetypes and character arcs. within that plotline, and writing technique, etc), and so on. These are all calculatable -- and yet, that doesn't make them any less moving. Those familiar with the golden ratio will recognize this ancient point that I've brought up. My theory is that everyone uses these patterns as "tools" for their creativity, but perhaps some aren't as aware on a conscious level, that is what they're doing; those who lead with "feelings" are acting on those same patterns but they're processing them in a different way, as our subconscious picks up on patterns almost non-stop, and is responsible for 95-97% of our cognitive activity, while our conscious awareness is only 3-5%. I have enjoyed reading how all of the different types define and relate to creativity, within this comment section. I will have to save this video in a playlist so I can continue to read more of the comments after the video has been up a little longer. It's wonderful to get a glimpse of someone else's reality, especially when related to the functions that govern and create said reality.

ISFP here. I love to make things, particularly with my hands, and always have. It's therapeutic for dealing with MY PAIN (lol I felt called out by that) and keeps me out of trouble, more or less.

Thinking creatively (in business) is one of my husband‘s top strengths (ESTJ). He is very creative in his own way and can instantly “see” abstract processes in 3-D in his head. He can tell you right away what effect a tweak or change will have on a system, organization, whatever. It’s amazing. And, yeah. He’s very creative in how to get things done and working.

My brain generates infinite amount of ideas 24/7, but I'm unable to actualize it. It's as if my brain has copyrighted all my ideas, and I'm not allowed to share it🤣🤣🤣 (ENFP)

INFP here... I have had several hobbies but my longstanding favorite is cooking ... Fi- I make what I want. Ne- I'll use almost any ingredient and I'm constantly switching up recipes. SI- food is comfort home is comfort TE- me struggling to get myself to tell others about my recipes or food... Great post FJ😊

I am an ENFP and my husband is an ISTJ. I am creative in artistic ways like painting, textiles, ect. My husband is creative in his work. He comes up with innovative ideas, builds arches, builds domes, ect. We both appreciate each other's abilities.

As an infj, I am creatively at my best when I feel like fooling around with a bit of creative intent in my mind or with a really big drive of enthusiasm when looking up to a concept, artist or idea. I create fully by thinking, rarely putting feeling or aesthetic in front, and rather focusing on the meaning, symbolism and connections and functional framework of a piece (music mostly), and later work on aesthetics, functionality or accessibility to other people.

Yessss finally validation for the ENTP classical violinist here. I totally make music in order to express truth through interconnection of seemingly random things, in order to make others feel a certain way, and it being a craft is bonus points. NeTiFeSi for the win. To become a professional though, I've had to polish my Te and Se so much that by now they're both stronger than my Si. Maybe this explains why I've always not quite seen myself fit in the function stack of ENTP.

*No one can imagine how Creative Introverts in their head*

Really really thank u!!!!!!! Perfect video as always, this is crazy!!!! Thank u so much!!!!!

As an INTJ, my experience has been that I'm better at perfecting something than creating something new.

ENFP here, and I feel very cool now, but also seen, as he's on point that we have a lot of natural creativity largely because we're random AF, and also that things that seem random to a bunch of people we tell it to (and we tell everyone everything we are excited about, so trust me the ideas have been unofficially focus grouped to THE MAX) seem almost logical to us, and often it can be like, ENFP has this thought or project and then thinks, nah that's ordinary or ugh how derivative and lots of other people are like, oh how creative. In the same way an ENTJ or INTJ designs an airplane that can fly and holds x number of people and goes however fast without refueling too much but also meets safety standards and doesnt feel like a sky coffin when you fly in it, and often the ENTJ/INTJ's creativity is overlooked because the world expects airplanes.

I'm not just stereotypically the artist or the poet. I usually give my novels titles with different meanings, because only one is too simple.:-D- INFP

You don't have an idea of how much I missed your content. Thanks Frank.

I'm an INTP and when I was in Art School I loved to create works that brought together a lot of stuff from various fields I was into (astronomy, animals, languages, etc...) and to make a lot of different things like sketches, haikus, space installations with lights and sounds... Everything looked really random from the outside (like why would you create a light installation with fabric jellyfishes and put a modified sound of frogs that sounded like pulsars???) but when I was explaining it to my teachers everything made sense, really, haha (I had graduated with really good grades) Thanks for the video :)

It would be interesting for all the types to go to a sip and paint night. Because then you will see the same painting in many different ways. I realized this when me, an infp, and my sister, an infj, painted the same painting. Her brush strokes were bigger and simpler and mines was small and detailed. Edit: by saying this I am not saying one was better. Actually everyone’s was very good!

"I have pain. I must express it!" This is very true for my melancholic INFP self. Recently I read a poem and some of the words in it inspired me to write my own. It started out in a beautiful, romantic fashion, but when I looked at the finished poem it had of course turned into something dark about existential dread. Yay! Still beautiful though, imo.

Well , I am an INFP and I am really creative with finding new ways to waste my time.

I loved this video. I take as example my dad. He is a very proud ISTJ and, while he is very conservative on his moral values and ethics, he is the most creative human being that i know. He solve problems like no one else, he has the most intelligent and amazing ideas as an architect, his thinking is so flexible in terms of possibilities, like there is no limit for him but he is always studying new things, analysing new ways of matching things up, doing and redoing projects after calculating and taking in so many details. His infinite creativity is a very technically-based

Hey there, just another INFP here, grateful for such an accurate validation, Frank! Thumbs up!! I am either all pain or all the solemnity and euphoria. Both states of mind, body and soul should be immediately implemented into some creaking creative kind of stuff : music, singing, creating poems, writing... I self reflect through creating something which deeply resonates with the depth of my inner abyss

As an ESFP, that's pretty accurate ! Cool video as always 😉

Been watching you for 2-3 years now Frank. You’re the bomb!

Below are my thoughts on each type: INFJ - incredible imaginations, but not necessarily the most creative, doesn’t want to do things outside of comfort zone and so can limit their ability to create something truly unique. But when they do take a risk, the result is quite creative! e.g. think of their humor which I think can be incredibly funny and unique! ENFJ - more expressive than INFJs but limited bc they also focus on how people will respond, which can keep them from darker/weirder/more unique creative expressions ISFJ - crafty as heck but not creative ISTJ - insightful when it comes to logical implications, but not necessarily creative ESFJ - picks up on trendy things that creatives like, but not creative ESTJ - INSIGHTFUL when it comes to logical/business implications, but not necessarily creative ENTP - come up with very unique pathways to argue a point, so I give them a high creativity rating, also really good liars which requires imagination and creativity ENFP - semi-decent liars, so I give them some credit. I do think they appreciate creativity more than produce it, but I’m probably just biased bc they annoy me with how little they listen to others and how often they’re logically wayy off when expressing an idea :p ESFP - although they are performers, they seem to express themselves in conventional artistic forms ESTP - semi-decent liars but I can’t say I’ve seen them be all that creative. Honestly, I only think they're ok at lying bc they do it so often, not bc they're creative. Video idea: which types LIE THE MOST? INTJ - I suspect they are WILDLY creative, but we’ll never know bc they keep it all to themselves or they do it in areas that no one understands anyways ENTJ - I think they have the potential to be creative but they value getting things done so much that they cut off any creative thoughts in favor of efficiency ISTP - omg who knowssss?? INTP (me) -surely creative, but of a limited imagination that best handles the abstract and tends to stick to more esoteric areas of expression that no one cares about anyways ISFP - the MOST creative. they follow their own path 100% and do it with feeling and a good sense of what is unique v. what is a phony re-representation INFP - the SECOND MOST creative, though I think their ideas lose value bc they do not understand that some of their expressions come off as grand depictions of their own self-loathing (i.e. deeply self-involved and melodramatic) while the ISFP is actually creating things that other people can have a private, personal, and meaningful response to.

As an INFP, Fi seemed to be like my one and only friend for so long. In drama class, we'd play this game where our teacher would give us a theme and we had to represent that theme through one static body pose. And I was always the best at that game. We also had another where we had to express ourselves through one hand gesture, and my teacher said mine was the best and if he could grade it, he'd give me full marks. Those games absolutely embodied Fi and self-expression.

As an INFJ and a choreographer, I have literally said outloud to a room full of dancers "I want this to make people cry."

As usual, so informative. I feel I understand myself a little more

As an INFP poet, I do hold my self to a high standard when I write haha 😂 but when people comment, I usually say, “thanks and that’s awesome”. However, if I don’t like it then I will do all that I can to rewrite it again and again.

I like the pop-up opening on this one and last week.😄 Someone suggested you do one in how the different types deal with regret? I'd like thst one too.😊✌️

I like to think I'm creative but then I remember I worry too much about what I'm doing right and wrong lol

I just love these kind of videos !

I love Ne, such a cool function!

I'm an ESFP and I've always been obsessed with arts: acting, singing, music, writing, etc | I felt like I was mis-typing myself as ENFP because I liked to write books, but honestly it just feels mandatory that if you like to write books and be creative you are intuitive. But really, you can be a strong sensor and still be able to write books, it's just sensors are more interested in worlds that have already been built, like Earth, and the present time in Earth, and intuitives are more likely to build their own worlds with a bunch of fantasies or sci-fis. Then again, I don't think interests should always be mixed with MBTI because it really sets a different view of someone. (Also my ESFJ friend and I both won writing awards fictionally so you can't really fight with that lmao)

I love being creative.

Wow! Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge the way you did. You have a brilliant mind, and a "man of my dreams" kind of energy and kindness. You must be pretty rare too, because, by the end of your video, I wished I could meet you in person. Vibration, your eyes, energy, understanding of what you're talking about, eye contact, subtle jokes..... Keep the great vids coming, coz people like you are hard to find xxx

You hit the nail on the head with this video. I'm an ISTJ. I'm not generally a very creative person, but I'm actually a very creative cook. I've been told my food is quite good (by my multiple ENTJ and ESTJ relatives, so I can trust they're being honest 🙂). I'm a creative problem solver too, provided it's a problem involving tools or logistics.

I've always had endless ideas as an infp. I really have to be alone most of the time- and the key to opening up my creativity is really starting with NOTHING. Like, not even background noise. Just my mind. Haha 😂

Once a classmate (ENFP) told me an mnemonic for biology which was completely random. Another classmate (ESFJ) couldn't understand it but to me (INFP) it was very logical and helpful

This is very insightful and helped me a lot with understanding creativity according to the different personality types. It’s very accurate in my opinion. I’m an infj, I’m writing a fiction series and my writing mentor is an entp. They’ve taught me a ridiculous amount about being creative and opening my mind to the boundless potentials of constructing worlds and characters.

I am an INFJ-A you explain it to me so perfectly! Thankx for a useful information...

My boyfriend is an INFP and I totally recognize that boost of creativity in him, especially in storytelling. As for me, an INTJ, I am kind of off character in here. I have episodes of extreme inspiration for visual arts (illustration, fashion, photography, makeup) but then it goes back to hibernation. But I recognize my creativity usually comes in the form of looking for solutions.

You nailed ISFJ. I crochet, and I’m pretty good at it. But that’s because I’m following a pattern and perfecting a specific set of skills. I don’t come up with new ideas well.

Your gift of explanation.. is a gift to All types. Thanks

Wow wow wowwwww thank u!!!!! Huge thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm an ENFP and I like to find the balance between socially relevant art (people-related issues) and actually interacting with the people whom I source the art from. Dream in the future is to be a muralist in NYC or something, so that people can feel heard and relay important concepts of equality and community.

I really Appreciate frank james content . 5 star for your performance.

Two years later, and I don’t know you, but I think you are awesome🎉

The atmosphere outside the window looks so cool I'd love to take a walk in such breeze :D

that's the first time whene thare was actually an ad after he said 'i will wait to see if youtube want to show an ad'

Yeah as an INTJ I tend to make stuff that I think will sell (may or may not end up that way but that's how I decide what I will make) or I make useful items for people I love, like sewing up baby carrier cover & bibs for my pregnant sister, that's better than what's typically on the market. I also tend to make items for myself that I just don't see for sale anywhere. I guess if I were an ENTJ I would turn that stuff into a successful business but I tend to lack energy and motivation to go to that much trouble. I am also a 5 with a strong 4 wing and was always much better at stuff like creative writing than math, in school. But sometimes I would create things that no one else seemed to quite understand. I also got into major arguments with teachers in high school and college when I would have a different interpretation of some literature.

Hey knucklehead, this absolutely made me chuckle, loudly.

Yesss as intp I love since and art 🎨 💕 😍 great 👍🏻 👌🏻 👏🏻 video

Day 2: Organize a zoom call with one person of each personality type, record their interactions and then edit the video making some comments on how their behaviours and interactions with others are affected from the functions

Hi, I'm a an writer and artist (but it's difficult to bring all my ideas to paper tho) - INFP

About Ne, when FJ started saying Extraverted Intuition "is all over the place and random", I thought, as an ENFP, "nooo, but everything is connected in a meaningful way to me 😭" and the next second he says "but it all makes sense to these types"... I felt understood again 😜 Love your videos, as always! Thank, Frank!!

As I have always been extremely creative and with ice skaters, they are a huge expression of emotion they express as a timeless work of art into their routines, Wow!!! I am so impressed!!

I laughed so hard at the Extraverted Intuition part😂 I am literally the randomness in person and I’m absolutely proud of it😂

Oh well- this was so accurate! I'm an INFP that started writing to express troubled feelings and ended up planning out a huge series with hundreds of characters and a lot of events which everyone says "how are they even connected" about.😅

Really interesting with functions explanation 👌

This video is so important to me specially at the current phase of my career

Ne : doesn't feel random at all, to the user. We are experts at finding patterns in seemingly "random" things. But, everything is interconnected! Ya, very creative, in every way: it can actually be overwhelming to have so many ideas! 😨😂

As an isfp artist, I don’t need or want an idea. The best artwork I’ve ever done starts with how I’m feeling emotionally. It’s only when it’s nearing completion that I can see the meaning in it. I don’t need an idea, I go inside to be more aware of myself, then go from there. I stay mindful of my internal state the entire time I’m drawing or painting. It’s mindfulness, and presence. Intuitive’s seem to think they are more creative, but let them try too go about it like that 😀

Such a nice lava lamp! ( and a really interesting video as well :D )

kind of irrelevant but i love seeing you growing both in yt and mentally. You have nice vibes man

This is so accurate! However, a consideration: I can see how Ne naturally most creative, pains me to say, BUT in practice creativity, or at least making art (one can argue the most creative application of creativity ;) requires boiling things down to simplest form, hence INFJ wins :D No bias there I'm sure ha ha.

I’m an istj and I think I just realized that I’m not very creative... I like painting and now that I think about it, I always paint very realistically, I don’t think I’ve ever painted while “thinking outside of the box.” And I find that every interesting.

I am an ENFJ and I love music,arts & literature. I have these weird great ideas for my poetry and my stories I have problems in finishing my written works but storytelling is my passion and I love it so much. I hope I'd be able to let all the creativity out, its stuck somewhere deep and it seems hard to reach it.

That intuition/sensing complementary thing really speaks to me because my husband will have the wildest most fun ideas (let's turn the garage into a mini movie theater!), and I'm the one who will see it done (buying shelves, storing stuff, having the projector installed, etc).
