Suffused with impressions from just having spent time with an ENFP/INFJ couple and their adult INTJ child, I was inspired to muse aloud in a video--writing exchange with an INFJ friend about this fledgling cognitive functional hypothesis as to why I have often found this to be true.
Rough, improvisational, idiosyncratic, and potty-mouthed, as usual.
Thank you for your patience and any thoughtful input you'd like to share about this exploration, dear viewers!

![Fastest armchair-typing, ever (INFP)*
. . . that I also felt 100% confident was correct. Of singer // songwriter // musician *** ELLIOTT SMITH (1969 - 2003) ***. Perhaps those of you who are INFPs or who, like me, have known and loved many INFPs, will quickly understand why. ;-) Well see . . .
The lightning-round typing of Elliott Smith happened watching the first 18 seconds of a 1998 MTV interview of the musician and songwriter by a whipper-snapper Carson Daly the first video footage Id ever seen of Smith: this extracted 3-min. clip, specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSqumt6Bt-g&t=38s
If youd like to see more of what he was like and think about the matter yourself, I suggest watching this whole Elliott Smith interview compilation reel I referred to in the video (which includes at the beginning a fresh-faced Lou Barlow [ ! ], talking with Smith about the ups and downs of touring): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0reukeg4q0&t=707s
//// One of Elliott Smiths many great songs, Somebody I Used To Know (2000) from the album Figure 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaBdt9lwvQQ //// Fastest armchair-typing, ever (INFP)*](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e6gyQzldjyw/mqdefault.jpg)
