[INFJ] Youtubers???

[Icedream]

I'm surprised to see this hasn't been made yet. Let's type some youtubers.

I haven't found any suspected INFJs yet, but I'll keep looking

Edit: If you're typing a new youtuber, please do a detailed analysis of why you think they are that type, including instances of behavior to prove your point.

ALSO: you're not limited to INFJs, just encouraged to seek them out.

I know some who are, but I'm cheating: it's from MBTI-youtubers who outed themselves.

 

[Icedream]

XD it's a start. Go ahead and post them.

Erik Thor

Host Ken, TwFP

Tom Davison

solohouette

The Vase Face host, Kaylia

There are probably many more...

I updated the thread

I was going to say the same thing @Ginny posted.
The cool thing about these videos, though is if people are outing themselves as a type, we can study them in order to type others. Hee hee.

Have you see this video? I don't know any of these Youtubers:

 

[Ginny]

What I'd find difficult with youtubers is if they script their shows. Members from big channels like WhatCulture or Cracked ought to be really hard to type, because sometimes what they show are just personas. But I'd like to type some of the original cast members from cracked.com, like Soren Bowie or Daniel O'Brien.

Twitter could help too (some YTers are to be found on twitter as well), analysing type related language patterns in writing. Should be fun, if only I didn't stay away from social media. TMI overload!

Edit: I'd wanted to start with: @Asa I also have no idea who these people are.

 

[Icedream]

That's a good point, but there's certainly a good portion of youtubers who don't do any scripting.

@Asa I only recognised the last one.

 

[MrSquared]

My boy...Michael Pierce. Scripting. In a non-gaming sense. LOL.

 

[Ginny]

I just found this. What do you think?

I'm two minutes thirty seconds in, and I must disagree. He claims that looking at people for a short amount of time yields an answer from Ni. I will admit that it gives a good guess, but appearance and body language can only tell you so much, and give you an outer layer. not everyone who looks depressed is an INFP, and not all INFPs are depressed.

I thought much the same. I am always skeptic of people who claim something right off the bat, and in general, the introverted functions aren't "visible," at least not directly, that's why they are introverted. Or am I being too generalistic?

 

[Icedream]

Okay, I guessed right but that proves nothing

Not sure

guessed right?

 

[Icedream]

guessed the ENFP right too, but that was just obvious. the other two were INTP and ISFP

 

[Icedream]

guessed right?

did you watch the whole video?

Plus comment

I see

 

[Icedream]

But that's just by his logic. on the surface, they may appear to be something, but there are several variations of each type, and he's not really addressing that here
