YouTube Typology channel "Talking with Famous People" has for years conducted Personality Typing through interactive interviews, each typically lasting an hour or longer. If the interview subject gives permission, the typing is published on YouTube. Public review, critique, and feedback improve the typing process.

Because I have odd ideas, I recently excerpted information from 102 typing videos and turned it into statistical spreadsheet data. The data came from about 25 months of Talking with Famous People's published typing sessions.

The results on INFPs were shocking, to the point that I considered whether to say something or quietly shelve it.

People often insist they want "Truth". So, I present here stark statistical data relevant to INFP personality typing. Full credit for all statistics cited goes to years of published typing sessions run by Personality Typologist HostEric of Talking with Famous People.

The data in this video should give every INFP pause. They certainly gave me pause.
