Brain Regions : how INFJs use Fp1

Fp1 “Chief Judge”

• Provide a reason

• Decide between options

• Detect an error

Helps us decide quickly and explain our reasoning. Helps us ignore unwanted, negative ideas and feedback.

INFJs probably use the Fp1 region at the front left of the brain much less well relative to other personality types. While INFJs are capable of making decisions, providing reasons for decisions, deciding between options, detecting errors, I don't think they are particularly good at doing so under stress (or at a rapid pace and at a high volume for a prolonged period of time with limited resources).

If INFJs have to decide very quickly, decide between many options, explain their complex reasoning for a decision, detect a lot of errors, and ignore a lot of negativity while doing so, they are likely to become overwhelmed or pressured rather quickly compared with those with a very strong executive ability. Overuse of this region sounds particularly exhausting.

In MBTI terms, probably those with higher extroversion (E) and higher extroverted thinking (Te) would use Fp1 with greater ease.

Brain regions INFJs underuse

In a previous post, I listed which brain regions I think INFJs use to a high degree. I suggested that INFJs have a strong back right bias.

Here are regions I think INFJs underuse.

While I can’t be sure without an actual scan, I have an idea that INFJs don't use these regions so much:

Fp1

And I think that they use these regions somewhat moderately:

Main Character Energy : ISTJ

It is rare that an introverted actor is hired to play the lead role in a popular tv series, where they carry the show and where their personality bleeds into the main character.

Here, an ISTJ lead actor stars as Elena Gilbert, a popular teen with a mysterious adoptive past struggling to live a normal life in a supernatural teen drama about vampires.

Main Character Energy : ENTJ

It is rare that an intuitive actor is hired to play the lead role in a popular tv series, where they carry the show and where their personality bleeds into the main character.

Here, an ENTJ lead actor stars in a popular coming of age sitcom.

Main Character Energy : INFJ

It is rare that an introvert or an introverted intuitive actor is hired to play the lead role in a popular tv series, where they carry the show and where their personality bleeds into the main character.

Here, an INFJ lead actor stars as Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend who helps guide King Arthur to the throne.

Here is a look at American Presidents and their MBTI types (since 1933 and adequate television footage).

Harry S. Truman (April 12, 1945-January 20, 1953) ESFP

Franklin D. Roosevelt (March 4, 1933–April 12, 1945) ESFP

Totals out of 15 American Presidents:

6 ESFP

2 ESTP

2 ESTJ

2 ESFJ

1 ENTJ

1 ENTP

1 ISTJ

14 E types

13 S types

9 P types

8 F types

7 T types

6 J types

2 N types

1 I types

* Nine types have not been American President (since 1933) including: ENFP, ENFJ, ISTP, ISFP, ISFJ, INTJ, INFJ, INTP, INFP

Trends

Regardless of party affiliation, Americans overwhelming vote for a show and elect extroverted S types, especially ESFPs!

The United States of America has a constitutional federal representative republic system of government. Citizens vote directly for their President and Americans tend to elect showy leaders over competent administrators with less personal charisma.

Extroverts are very overwhelmingly preferred to introverts. Only 1/15 or 7% of Presidents have been introverts. This lone introvert, Vice President Gerald Ford (ISTJ) succeeded to the office of President without running for election after President Richard Nixon's (ENTJ) resignation due to the Watergate scandal. He lost the following presidential race to another extrovert, Jimmy Carter (ESFJ).

Feelers are slightly preferred to thinkers. 8/15 or 53% of Presidents have been feelers, while 7/15 or 47% of Presidents have been thinkers. There does not seem to be any substantial differences in party affiliation for Presidents of feeling and thinking preferences.

There are overwhelmingly more sensors than intuitives. 13/15 Presidents (or 87%) have been sensors while 2/15 (or 13%) were intuitives. Both intuitive types were extroverted, thinking types: Richard Nixon (ENTJ), a Republican has auxiliary introverted intuition; Barack Obama (ENTP), a Democrat has dominant extroverted intuition. There does not seem to be any substantial difference in party affiliation for Presidents of sensing and intuiting preferences.

Perceiving type Presidents are elected somewhat more often than judging types. There have been 9/15 or 60% perceiving and 6/15 or 40% judging type Presidents (since 1933).

Introversion followed by intuiting appear to be significant inhibitors to becoming President of the United States of America.

*Note: since 1933, there has been a relatively even division of the Presidency between the two main political parties with eight Democrat Presidents (or 53%) and seven Republican Presidents (or 47%).
