i think the reason why you find more infjs even though they're the said most rarest type is bcz infj are also the type to be most likely to be interested in mbti and personality types which makes that people who talks about or tell you about their own mbti happens to be infj

I love how Frank cracks himself up all the time. A true introvert.

[shypuplps]

Can people just accept that their type is common? there isn't anything wrong with it. You don't have to be quirky. Its just statistics. Don't let it decide how important you are.

INFP : 4, 4%
Me finding almost every INFP comments in all of his videos 🤯

A little reminder: being a common type its cool too! You have more chances to feel more understood and represented out there:)

[luisadumont]

Every time I see something about how rare each personality is, I remember the phrase "it's kind of nice that ENTJs correspond to a small percentage of the population". Well, it's hard to introduce yourself as ENTJ without people thinking you're some kind of villain or a rich person.

[asdf]

INTP is low at 3.3%. No wonder every time I try to talk to people about physics, psychology, economics, or anything I'm interested in, most don't seem to get engaged. There are only three people I've met so far that I've managed to get along with very well so I had them take the test too, two were both INTPs like me, and the other was an INTJ.

[persephoneblack]

I remember when I was typed as an INFJ. Being a rare type doesn't really mean anything. You understand who you are more and why you are what you are but being an INFJ has been an isolating experience. I'm always at the fringes of everything, and I just mold myself to fit along with whatever "character" I have to play day by day.

[dramaticintrovert]

I feel like chip is just all the cringe jokes he wrote into the script when he was extremely sleep deprived and it was too late to get rid of them so he just... ran with it.

[Nick-kfio]

Apparently INTJ females though are the rarest type overall when you account for gender. I feel alienated as an INTJ male so I can only imagine how a female INTJ feels

[aleksycitriauskidis]

As an ENFP, I know that most % of our type are women, so as a male I feel quite rare, but would like to meet more male ENFP to make life more intresting

[Hypnosis]

It can actually be so tiring being an ENFJ. I'm in a constant state of recharging my social battery because I'm just a natural people pleaser lol. On top of that, because empathy is massive with us, people are always coming to me for advice on their problems and man, absorbing all those feelings isn't fun :(

PSA for anyone out there - If a friend ever says that they're more introverted than extroverted, PLEASE believe them. It sucks being misunderstood as a social butterfly all the time when in most cases, I just want to stay at home doing my own thing.

[ellybean]

Frank laughing at himself as Chip is making me unreasonably amused

[laomedeia]

ESFJ - 5.7
INTP - 4.8
ENTP - 4.3
INTJ - 2.8
INFJ - 2.3
ENFJ - 2.2
ENTJ - 1.8

[dabbler]

That's one of the problems with Myers-Briggs. "Everybody" wants to be:

1. the RAREST type (so they can feel "special")

2. an INTP or an INTJ (so they can feel "smart") or

3. an ENTJ (so they can be "in-charge" and give orders).

No one!-- ever says: " Hi, I'm one of the 2 most common Types. I'm pretty-darn common and ordinary and I couldn't be happier about it." NO ONE!

[yurie.channel]

As someone who is in the INFJ group (or even people from ENFJ/TJ), It might sounds special since you are in a very rare category but it just meant that less people would understand you and it is frikkin hard to socialize or make friends with people.

[naginiriddle]

So, INFP here, and a math major.

don't trust. The math behind it is fine, but it's everything else about it I don't trust. The gathering of data and interpretation of it, not to mention the way it typically gets presented--which is usually in a technical sounding title meant to mislead the general population that doesn't understand math.

It does seem very odd that INFJ would be the rarest, considering I-F-J were all more common in the letter stage. In fact, it seems even more strange that ISFJ be most common and then INFJ be least common. (The ISFJ did make sense as being most common considering every letter in the type was also more common)
If anything, it would make more sense that ENTP be the least common.
I would be a lot more interest in Frank showing the commonality of the cognitive functions rather than the letters, seeing as he did mention the NJs were least common.

Also, I am curious how the data is gathered. Given we already know people mistype themselves on tests, makes me wonder if the data is skewed.

i'm so conflicted because on the one hand, i really enjoy quirky videos about mbti that make me laugh, but on the other hand i recognize in myself the urge to do something to mbti like people have done to astrology. i find these videos so funny but also need to use this tool to become a superhero. these videos are like a relief from the hard work of looking inward. i guess people want to put infj on a pedestal because they're so rare, but in actuality i think it's kind of just...being excited to be different. there's nothing wrong with it, but when i learned i was infp, i immediately started commiserating with other infps about how i 'just dont belong' and 'everyone is mean' but then i started thinking about it and i don't need advice from other infps. it's not enough to have an excuse for habits that don't help me. i need to do more research and stop aggrandizing personality types as if they're greek myths or something. being an infp doesn't elevate me. if you're reading this rambling comment i am so so sorry and thanks. have a nice day happy learning

Great fun video on MBTI with interesting stats on the rarity of the types.

My type is the second rarest going by these stats.

Our type sees the world a bit differently than moat.
