Part 1/10
The “Wait… What?” Feeling
Have you ever had that moment where someone looks at you and you get the strange feeling they can see… a bit too much?
Not in a creepy way — just enough to make your heart do a small “wait… what?”
It’s stressful, because you don’t know what they want.
But somehow it also feels good — like being understood without needing the whole explanation.This little 10-part thing is basically me poking at that feeling.
Why it happens.
Whether it’s real or just your brain having fun.
Whether someone actually senses you… or whether it’s one of those moments that feels bigger than it is.A lot of companies use MBTI to figure people out. Writers use it too, just to make sure their characters don’t suddenly act like they’ve changed into another human.
I even use MBTI with my clients — especially the difficult ones — because sometimes it’s the only way to understand what planet they’re operating from.Take Game of Thrones, for example.
Remember how Daenerys suddenly behaved like a completely different person near the end?
That uncomfortable “this is not her” feeling?
That’s what happens when someone breaks their own psychological pattern so badly that even the audience feels it in their stomach.And the fun part is… there’s actually a reason for that.
What I want to do here is show you a small idea that makes people a bit easier to read.
People already say you’re a mind reader — and honestly, I kind of believe it — but this gives you the structure behind your intuition.
A tiny superhuman / supervillain upgrade. (Depending on which mood you’re in.)And just so it’s clear:
I’m writing this because I enjoy this stuff, and because these thoughts show up in my head whether I write them or not.
It’s not about hiding emotions or judging anyone.
Just a quiet space where thinking out loud feels… nice.And if you ever want to interact with it — throw in a thought, a question, a challenge — you can.
I can even shape the next parts in ways that make them more playful to respond to.
No pressure. Just an open door you can walk through or ignore, depending on the day.If you ever feel curious, you can try a free MBTI test.
Keep the result for yourself — it’s your secret.
Just remember the test isn’t perfect; sometimes it takes a bit of reading before the right type clicks.Good luck. 😉

About Types (and Why People Rarely Fit Them)
If you tried an MBTI test, you probably have a rough idea of your type by now.
And if you didn’t… that’s also fine. This isn’t homework, and there will be no quiz at the end.
One thing becomes clear pretty quickly: people don’t really fit into neat boxes. They tend to spill out of them.
MBTI isn’t about labeling people — it’s more like trying to guess which operating system is running in the background…
while the user insists everything is “working fine,” even though at least three tabs are clearly frozen.
It looks at things like:
how someone processes information,
where their attention naturally goes,
what gives them energy,
what quietly drains it,
and what throws them off balance before they even realize what happened.
After a while, patterns start to show up. Not in a creepy way — more in a “oh… that explains that conversation from three years ago” way.
You notice what values someone takes very seriously, which topics they instinctively avoid, what sparks curiosity, and what just… doesn’t.
Like most tools, this can be misused.
Used properly, it mostly just helps people understand each other a little better — or at least saves a few unnecessary misunderstandings.
Some personality types are easy to spot. They announce themselves.
Others are quieter — like they forgot to turn the volume up, but not the depth. Most of the activity happens somewhere inside, where no one else can see it.
One type that often gets misunderstood because of this is INFJ.
Not because they’re trying to be mysterious — but because their inner world tends to do most of the talking, even when the outside looks calm.
And of course, not all INFJs are the same. There are different “flavors.”
Some people call these subtypes, which is really just a polite way of saying: two people can run the same operating system and still behave very differently.
One of those variations is sometimes called the Oracle type.
Yes, like The Matrix — minus the prophecies, the cookies, and the pressure.
Usually it just means noticing things early… and not always knowing what to do with that yet.
If you’re curious what that looks like in practice, this video explains it better than words usually can:
Being misunderstood shows up often for INFJs.
Not necessarily because they communicate badly — sometimes it’s just that not everyone is listening on the same frequency.
That’s where a lot of quiet paradoxes live:
seeing a lot, saying little.
feeling deeply, appearing calm.
understanding others… while occasionally wondering why that isn’t obvious.
This short video describes INFJs in just a few words and does it surprisingly well.
Like most descriptions, it captures some things clearly and misses others.
In the next part, I’ll look at how these patterns show up in stories and movies.
Sometimes it’s easier to recognize yourself there than in descriptions.

Just Vibes (Ni)
A friend sent me a cool website earlier — it has nothing to do with this topic, but it’s Sunday and it felt like it belonged here. I clicked around for a bit, followed some of the little characters, and it honestly made me smile.
Update: Writing the blog is getting more difficult!
There isn’t a clear logical reason to keep writing this right now.
At least, none that would survive a serious explanation.
Honestly, what kind of blog is this?
But hey — it’s the day after a video shoot, and my imagination department is currently closed for maintenance.
I have a schedule for these ten parts. It made sense at the time I wrote it down, but now it feels a bit off.
Then I asked myself why I am 100% wanting to write today, even though logically I probably shouldn’t!
few of the logical reasons not to write are:
-if it is educational it looks like I am trying to teach, I think I am better or have authority. Honestly, I don’t see it that way
-if it is analyitical, don’t even think about it.
-movies and art? (Okay, I love this one!)
At that point, nothing else quite feels like the right direction.
And yet, some strong inner pull keeps telling me to continue.
That pull is often called Introverted Intuition (Ni) — at least, probably. It’s the primary cognitive function in some personality types.
In MBTI, there are eight basic ways the mind processes information:
Se, Si, Te, Ti, Ne, Ni, Fe, and Fi.

I know today’s part isn’t very cohesive — but hey, I’ll use it as an excuse to introduce a few movie directors and one actress whose work often reflects some really interesting MBTI dynamics.
I personally enjoy INFJ and INTJ characters in films. They’re usually portrayed as deep, private, quietly compelling — often carrying strong moral questions beneath the surface.
If you’re curious, try looking up Joe Wright and Keira Knightley. There are probably many better examples out there, but these happen to be my favorites.
Interestingly, Keira Knightley is often typed as an INTJ, and her ability to convey intuitive depth allows her to portray Ni-heavy, INFJ-like inner worlds with remarkable clarity. Her performances tend to communicate a lot without over-explaining — which feels very on-brand for Ni.
Enjoy watching your movies 🙂
Your message will be anonymous. Just click send, no name or email needed.
Honestly, I was planning to post something at 6pm.
It felt like a cool time. Start of the evening, you know what I mean.
I spent way too long searching for something clever.
MBTI Christmas jokes, something funny — the usual rabbit hole.
I found a few things that made me smile.
But in the end, I probably should’ve just gone with the simple:
🎄 Merry Christmas
Maybe not the most brilliant message ever, I know.
But it’s an “infoluensa” sick day, and right now my imagination maxes out at two words and one emoji.
Part 4/10
Still Not Firing Deb
Hey, I hope you’re great!
It’s getting close to New Year, and you’re probably busy
but hey, it’s Sunday, and I need to introduce some of my friends to you.
First up is, naturally, Larry.
And as you might have guessed… he’s a movie enthusiast.
Larry hasn’t been the same since Titanic.
He says he’s fine.
He’s not.
He saw the Titanic.
Had three people and one violin.
Unforgettable.
He wants to know which movies you’ve watched.
Just tell him.
He won’t bite.
…Wait.
Your message will be anonymous. Just click send, no name or email needed.
Oh, you’re wondering who the pigeon is below the send button?
That’s Deborah.
She’s supposed to deliver your messages to me.
Supposed to.
So far she’s just… standing there.
Looking important.
Doing absolutely nothing.
And the worst part?
She’s getting paid.
Because you haven’t sent her anything yet.
Who is Deb?
Deb is the HR manager nobody hired.
She means well.
She’s not very bright.
She delivers messages very slowly sometimes upside down.
She tries.
She really wants to be useful.
But mostly, she just stands there looking like she has a job.
She’s unionized.
I can’t fire her.
But if you finally send something…
she might finally feel accomplished.
No pressure.
Deb’s been pretending to work for weeks.
This Isn’t Just About Sharks and Pigeons (Unfortunately)
We learn about our MBTI types not to label ourselves —
but to notice one or two of our recurring tendencies that might be holding us back.
You can look it up online anytime.
For example:
INFJs might come across something called a Ni–Ti loop.
It’s like being stuck in your own head with no feedback…
