Why do us ENFPs gotta be so weird? :) lol jk I like it. Unless you actually do have an answer for that...I'd listen.

I've always wondered what makes a personality type. What causes the different function preferences?

@@lilatov7823 Yes, we wanna know

Can you be ENTP without being sarcastic? Like, only mildly and playfully sarcastic?

About Ni and Ne, Si and Se please :D

I mean, even a life without limitations would still be limited by the fact that there's no limitations. You can't exist, and therefore live, without limitations -INTP, if it wasn't clear

Cheezy burgers, my infp's tiny miny brainy couldn't tolerate this kind of intellectual😔

Yup. As an ISTP, one thing I've had to learn to do to be more disciplined, focused, and purposeful is to learn to appreciate limitations. Say I have a task at work, but there's a set of restrictions placed on me. After the initial flare of anger, I try to force myself to look at things more as a challenge, a puzzle to be solved. It forces me to be creative and to think laterally, be resourceful, try new things. It can be pretty satisfying just in the attempt itself, let alone actually achieving my goal.

Also being completely unable to follow the discipline of others and equally unable to create your own.

Same lol

While _Never Enough_ playing as a background song.

Lol I am infp and I used to send the song "Never Enough"by Loren Allred to my infj husband all the time😂

Us P types want to learn everything and have everything and feel everything... and yet, the one thing we never understand is satisfaction.

Yeah, I want to learn thousand languages on my own, create many fantasy worlds inside my head, draw in every style that exists, see other cultures, write all the stories in my head down, do gymnastics and vaulting ... It's both exciting and frustrating to have too many hobbies 😂 - INFP

Thank you, that was so thoughtful of you, and you saved me & others time. [T]You thought to take all he said and predict what others might need if confused [N]. Said it in fewer words and refined it [J]. Since you didn't ask anyone before taking time to make this summary; I do believe you are as stated [I]ntrovert.

Future-focused?

I dont think for the Ne types its so much future focused searching as much as idea-collecting, where as Se is experience collecting. The ideas can be future or present or past or not bound to time (correct me if I'm wrong I know nothing)

@@sourgrapes7482 Exactly. Ideas are not bound by time, I'm guessing that OP was generalizing on what Frank said at 10:55, which can be misleading. N is not necessarily future-focused, it is about seeking patterns in concepts. They tend to skip ahead on the information from the five senses, as they are "obvious, mundane, and irrelevant to their worldview". People with Ne-dom or the _N_P types especially, they find connections and branch very wide, because they don't want to miss anything out. They just tend not to go deep into the gathered information because they seek variety. Ni-dom or _N_J types tend to organize the abstract information gathered to form their own strong foundation, which is why they restrict themselves because they focus on organizing the patterns, not seeking variety. Which is why they tend to be "future-focused", it's just because they try to generalize as much stuff as possible from the strong foundation they built to make better decisions in the future according to themselves. TLDR: N types are not necessarily future-focused. Especially not for _N_P types (doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to focus on the future)

@@sourgrapes7482 Sensing = What IS Intuition = What IF It's a generalization, it ain't that deep bro.

Challenge accepted. - INTJ

@@greatwavefan397 how is the plan going?

Me, the ENFP just met some nice strangers on the way and follow their itinerary, was awesome.

This is my husband and me to the tee. I’ve learned to find balance by planning out the hotels and researching activities in the area, but leaving each individual day open for us to improvise based on how we’re feeling. That way he doesn’t feel too oppressed, but I don’t feel too much anxiety.

I'm INTJ, husband ESTP. I keep him grounded. He makes me explore.

Yes just yes I'm a INFJ

Planning trips to a tee is just so boring! I'd rather pick a direction, start walking towards it and see what we can find along the way 😊

@@sophiaredwood5825 yup, that's relatable 😂

Lol same -INFP

My teacher says I go off on too many tangents and I’m not concise enough because I have so many ideas but I don’t know which ones are more important because I think it’s all important-ENFP. However if I have a routine, I want to stick to it. Everything else I can not stick to a plan, in fact I hate being trapped and restricted. But I like routine (if that makes sense?) like I can explore and do things while still sticking to a routine. Mostly I follow random impulses and burst of energy,

@@Meg_intheclouds It makes sense. I like routine too, but not if it's boring. Without routine I'm so unproductive

I'm sorry to hear that, I have an ISTJ dad but I'm an ESTJ so I while I don't agree with him on everything I appreciate the job my parents did raising me. I feel like the other extreme (not giving your kids any direction or discipline) is a worse parenting style.

same here 🤦🏾‍♀️ They believe things that "Authority figures" told them even if they didn't observe it for themselves They are also judgemental of anybody who feels or thinks differently or has different ideas than them My curiosity and joy for new things was seen as naïveté and being irresponsible. I agree it's better as an Adult as you can finally do what you think is best and discover new things for yourself and even explore even new areas you were holding back from. I wish I had had an ENFP or INFP mother It was painful at times

I'm ENFP with an ENFP dad and an ISTJ mom. She was always super judgmental of everything I did, how I looked, what I wore, what I ate. I hated it. My Dad wasn't that way with me, but he was incredibly strict on my schooling, because he saw my aptitude and didn't want me to end up like him. He never applied himself because of his P, so he ended up in dead end blue collar jobs for years. He wanted more for me than that, so he pushed me hard in school. The result is that I have a very boring clothing style and am unsure how to spruce it up. I also had a very hard time figuring out what I like and didn't like... so there has been a lot of exploration as an adult to discover who the heck I am. Also, I can be incredibly organized and put together, but it requires all my focus. I feel like a failure if any one thing goes wrong in my plans. I am perfectionistic with my work. And I'm utterly drained and want to throw it all away and head for a tropical paradise by the end of the day. I also crave travel like crazy because I need something interesting to do and see and experience. Anyway, it's so weird how upbringing can augment the natural flow of someone's type. Yet, it wasn't able to change it.

I was in a similar situation.

and the same about any other!

@@neraimathik6547 INTJ here. I spent my entire winter break playing chess and ignoring everything else. I became really obsessed with the game and I wanted to learn as quickly and efficiently as possible the wining strategies and the tactics. I was watching videos, analyzing games from grand masters, reading etc.... But as a student, I eventually had to temper this newly found obsession out. It was frustrating at first, but eventually I got my focus back on what truly matters for the time being (aka my studies). I didn't drop chess altogether though. I do like it and I plan on taking it back once things get a bit more steady (currently in the middle of exams). Ni can fairly easily become obsessed toward something that has triggered the individual's interest. So speaking from experience; if you currently have important matters to attend to, don't start chess now haha.

Well, we do lead with a perceiving function after all 🙂

Js and Ps are very often confused with each other because we focus on how organized they are. Actually, they're distinguished by _where_ they like to get their info from, not _how,_ as the Sensors and Intuitives.

I read the comments just to see if any other INFJ’s were as confused as me!! Glad I’m not alone!! lol First time that I thought I might not be an INFJ!! 😂

I came because one test typed me as an INFJ and I was like, "cool, let's get more info on that". Nope definitely still an INFP lol

Yep that one too

Yeah same. I often struggle to identify which one a person is

I found a way to understand it because I'm an N type and my brother a S type, and we learn things very differently. How did you learn school ? If you learned more by heart, it's more on the S side and if you needed to understand what's behind everything, you're more on the N side. In example, to learn history, a N type will see why it happened and how different elements are linked when a S type will gather dates, facts, names and anecdotes.

@@Qwervy I care about the understanding of a lot of things

@@aikokumi6301 As do I, but I need to understand one thing at a time. If you do that you're more likely a J type. If you're priority is more things rather than understanding each thing as it comes you're probably a P

yes, looking at weaknesses helps a lot with determining type!

@@FrankJames well, great! It's nice to finally think I might understand. This video was very helpful.

@@FrankJames I saw the J/P's first picture of your video so a comment was spontaneous. I think J/P dicothomy is nonsense, if you use it to determine organization level of someone. The reason is pretty simple: for example, how should INFJs be NECESSARILY organized if Ni+Fe is not about structure, productivity and planning? Maybe an MBTI IxxJ can have those characteristics, but it's a pretty individual factor: we can't associate everything to dicothomies (and, however, dichotomies are the worst typing method, because if you do like this, using tests like 16personalities, your results will change according to the mood, because you're not OR an x OR an y).

(2/2) The problem is this: IxxJ are, in reality, PERCEIVING dominant; and IxxP are JUDGING dominant. So Myers-Briggs has done a huge interpretative mistake in deciding J and P on external world apparent structure or flexibility, because in the original "Psychological Types" by Carl Jung, the fourth dicotomy (rational and irrational) wasn't necessarily determined by an external point of view. This is just a convention that Myers-Briggs exstablished to determine which people would apparently function best in a work environment, but, in my opinion, the stack and her definition of J/P are pretty in contradiction in introverts.

@@mattiat.6697 IxxJ are introverted perceiving dominant. Saying introverted perceiving dominant would make them anything like an high extroverted perceiving user would be like saying that just because a duck can swim it's a fish. This isn't the best explanation, but the introverted functions process the outside world, which is brought in by the extroverted functions. Bringing in definitions of J and P- J is narrowing down while P is including everything. So, IxxJ will process (by S/N (which is actually just Si/Ni lmao) and store all of their information internally, while they narrow down the stream of outside information externally. But, since you need to have information before processing it, the introverted function will act like a "filter" before finalizing everything. This is why IxxJs are more "judgey"- they have a filter, with bias towards N or S, and then the world is more narrowed down by their judging function, before finally being processed and stored. For IxxPs, they will have a filter of T or F before storing things. IxxPs tend to have an internal structure of stuff. So, technically, introverts are more "judgey" than their extroverted counterparts because they don't immediately take their information in. Also, for the record, I agree that typing by dichotomies is nonsense. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, shape, or form. The thing is, J/P isn't dichotomies- it's functions. (This is why I'm fine with xSxJ or IxxP but not as fine with something like xNFx- xSxJ is Si user, IxxP is Ti or Fi dominant, xNFx is... Ni or Ne and Fi or Fe in some order which is kinda sorta pointless but its still fINe)

but keep it organised!

UGH ME. 🙋🏻‍♀️

ENTJ's have Te as their first function so they do a lot quickly and get things done. The Se in 3rd slot makes them like to relax or play while being in the body or experience the word. Those functions can make them look like a crazy tornado (or a manager with the skills of a sergeant) but their actions are still linear (because J)

@@probablynotasith5355 INTJ in a horror movie: Live or die. It's your choice.

The difference has also to do with the functions the types use the most

I've seen a way to find your type somewhere in Instagram: First you find your extroverted function, because it's the most obvious one. So, do you relate more to Fe, Te, Ne or Se? (as an xnfj you should relate more to Fe) If you chose Fe or Te, you must now see whether you relate more to Ni or Si. If you chose Ne or Se, you must find out if you relate more to Ti or Fi. And now you have two possible types. Now let's see how you act under a lot of stress. The function you use in very stressful situation is your inferior function. I found that info on Ig @myidentity_co

If you're stuck between INFJ and ENFJ its pretty likely you're INFJ since INFJ is on the more extroverted side of the introvert spectrum :D but to know for sure you'll need to look into cognitive functions :)

@@reonaranara i dont know about that, ENFJs are not always the most Extrovert type. Im an ENFJ and i always doubted because of being almost 50/50 with the I or E. Its very personal i guess. I think its also reading through the types and seeing where you relate more too. Infjs and enfjs are more differnet than they seem

I'm the same, jutst with ISFJ and INFJ.

Reading tip: "Was that really me" by Naomi Quenk. This book is all about the expression of the inferior function in each type in normal and in stressful circumstances. So it's all about the grip. Interesting read. As you stated above, inferior functions are a great help with typing.

No, I’m pretty much the same. (also INFJ by the way) For example, I hate talking to people if I haven’t planned it out / played it out in my brain beforehand, and often I end up misinterpreting things that people say because I mistakenly thought it had something to do with a random topic I was thinking about. I think I’m rambling too...

I'm an INFJ and I don't like being limited mainly in time tables (which is described here as a P trait) and planning my day in advance. It's like I'm being tamed by time but at the same time I can't get anything done without planning. I won't do anything that I haven't planned beforehand. I pretty much agree with everything else. Also about jumping hobbies as P types do,I can't do that. It takes me ages and lots of information and insights to convince myself to get into anything new. Hell I can't even watch a show or movie without reading about its theme, reviews etc. and then convince myself to finally start watching it. As an N type I like to see why the things are happening ,make a theory about it and then gather information to support that theory rather than just seeing everything as facts. From what I understood here is that xNxJ are likely to be convergent . Like converging and linking everything into one.

i'm an infj very much the same

My best friend is an ENFP. She has also wanted to do all of the things, and see all of the places. And she makes every experience so much fun, no matter what it is. She helps the rest of us open our eyes, broaden our interest, and deepen our curiosity.

So weird. I am ENFJ but I really recognize myself in your story.

This is exactly me. In high school people were like, “What are you going to do after you graduate?” I never had an answer so I would just say random things.
