I'm an INTP but I think the best way to achieve most efficient, social understanding and awareness with other people that aren't INTP is just to achieve a balance between all 8 MBTI characteristics. Strive for XXXX. You're choice obviously.
This vid is an excellent example of why I like working w/ INTPs. The few I've met seem to get trapped in the fractals, thus easier to galvanize their attention & deploy knowing it'll be executed correctly, the first time. Xanatos Speed Chess FTW! INTPs FTW!
Ironically, I'm not an INTP only because of +1% point. Maybe that's why I have such an affinity.
I'm an INFP and I've always wondered on the nature of Ti and how it differs to my native Fi. I assume in many ways they would parallel each other in terms of structure but with a larger difference in the data being utilised in that structure. I'm assuming it is just as ineffable to explain though to those who don't use it!
I don't get what this videos purpose is? I mean fractals don't represent INTPs.... lol
I'm an INTP. I'd like to meet another one in real life, but I'd probably be annoyed with them and just likely disagree with them on many things, even if we apparently collect and organise our perceptions similarly. etc.. lol Whatev.. it makes me feel better knowing there are others like me out there at least. But, I'm not a nerdy geek, I'm social, and slim, and I like doing a lot of things outdoors.
@omegaroyal yup we make u guys in control heres an example my mother is an INTP (just like i am) how the dude she's with is a feeling type of person any way he thinks he's in control while my mother is in control so booyeah booyeah
@Haygirl345 You can definitely be the boss.... it sounds way too stressful for me. I can understand how your type would enjoy this role. To each his own. No worries.
@Cessations not super amazing but unique in the way we process information and ideas. the way we do it is trail blazing and highly effective at producing results that work.
I think the fractal represents the infinite possibilities we think of for a given situation, even if the first 18 were good, why not keep going? Ride that though process to the Nth degree, then move on to another.
I recently thought of describing my mind like a fractal, more like a Julia set though. Everything is interconnected, and when you zoom in there is lots of detail and complexity there. However, I'm not sure that describing my mind like a fractal accurately captures the huge network of connections between ideas... maybe more like a self-connected fractal? With certain parts looping back on each other?
Kinda makes sense, you started (thinking) somewhere, you came to many different possibilities, you even forgot where you started from (which first thought made you come to all the conclusions/abstractions). The pictures seem to have sorts of 'edges' which i can relate as our Thinking (T) analyzing/restricting/observing our ideas, or more like it's keeping our thoughts in check.
google "our universe may be a black hole" first hit is something
I figured that out about 8-12 months ago, basing it off of the idea of those fractal patterns and how they look
it just kind of made sense when I realized black holes expand faster and faster, our universe is, we have a "limit/edge" to our universe from what I've heard, and there'd have to be expansion/reduction in size balancing out in the end for a universe to work
expanding/retracting universe in micro, balanced in macro :P
@noobler9 but that's not very impressive, anyone could do that, right, so what?
no, actually most apparently can't (be bothered to, or are incapable of doing so), and I don't get why either, but there you go
you can't judge yourself in a void either, you have to compare to others, which is the entire point
:> of course, once again INTP doesn't automatically mean you're able to do that kind of thing, it means you're a general group with the absolute highest predisposition for that kind of thing
@noobler9 "our known universe is a black hole" was the only answer I could see fitting all those prerequisites, I'm not a big fan of making magical properties up... just to make a theory work, unless it works really well and generally follows the known rules in some sort of "spiritual sense" akin to the "spirit of the law" as opposed to the "wording of the law"
if you're an INTP based on an actual MBTI test, you'd have a lot more swaying power, it's not an argument from authority, but a simple fact that the online tests, while reasonably based on the actual ones, aren't the actual ones and the internet is full of polluting sources, also, the typification is to give a title to a noted preference
anyways, I've come up with freudian theory at 15, thought up vectors at around 7-9, and thought up a theory about black holes that someone did a paper recently
@noobler9 much of it was based on previous knowledge and of course there's possible biases based on the fact that I figured it out via a fair bit of knowledge of pop psychology and basic psychology for freudian theory, and being immersed in philosophy of science stuff as well, but the fact is I had to put it all together into a cohesive theory, I can do that, not necessarily controllable, but there you go, I do it, and I've done it many times
so saying INTP's aren't like that because you aren't
I'm an INTP, and I disagree with this video. Perhaps we do sometimes have very complex theoretical structures in our internal world, but I don't think it's necessarily comparable to fractals. With the title of the video I was expecting something more along the lines of an analysis of our mindset, something that would be able to explain it further. Of course, this (unfortunately) isn't what I got.
Hello Im INTP too. I always have this question in my mind. did we made our personality. or we born as we are. in other word can someone change his personality or being changed by life and society. for example from INTP to INTJ? or ISFP to INTP
@kawaiinekochick2 talk to enough people about abstract theories in any way that resembles enthusiasm and you'll find out just how fast you can outpace others, do it enough times with enough people, and you'll find that compared to the others (the MBTI is about comparisons, remember?)
you probably are, in fact, "that complex", probably at least, and to others, which is what the comparison is about, period
@kawaiinekochick2 well every thing it said was true about me, it was as tho i'd written it mysef...just accept it, INTP's are what make's existance interesting
hahahahan funny video! although I must agree with cessations that this video is kinda pretentious....Apparently I'm an INTP, and though the personality description blurbs I found on google were quite accurate, I don't think of myself as being particularly smart.
I'm sorry to admit that my mind isn't as complex as a fractal, although the idea does appeal to my vanity a bit. =]
@omegaroyal i think your confidence in your own mind is fabulous. Having said that, im not sure how it relates to a computer graphic but i dont pretend to know everything; and I was never very good at deciphering art
ok im an intp, ..how can u filter personality through anxiety disroders? idk im still pretty sure im an intp..fit the description..lazy and unmotivated unless im interested in what im doin, good at everything but not a fukin master at anything.the only thing that i cant do is a hoolahoop, tho im a varsity allstar in 2 of 3 sports..dnt even like sports, parents push me into doin shit thats why im depressed i think.. im in a restless, deep depression now and ive changed.is this normal?gimme a pmsg
I personally like the 16 personality types, it's a way to accept yourself, For me at least I've strived to be someone I'm not for the 16 years I've been alive. I've am introvert so I've tried to be an extrovert and it just hasn't worked out. It wasn't good to be quiet in my previous mindset, but this test offers a way to accept yourself for who you are and provides role models (famous people of your type). It also serves as a way to understand other people.

Do you really like the 16 personality types or do you try to appreciate them? You sound very polite, but in my personal experience, ES's usually are narrow minded people, and I specially dislike ISTJ's. They could be very unbearable: selfish, controlling, they hate those who don't act according to their ideas and try to impose theirs...
@MensSuperMateriam I like the system itself, not all of the personalities. I should have worded my first comment more clearly. I may dislike some of the personalities, but I do not hate any of them. For me, the system serves as a way to deepen understanding of human behavior. If you understand the motivations for peoples actions, it is easier to accept the people, and potentiality resolve the problems that they are causing if any. So yes, I do try to appreciate the different personalities.
@Cessations I couldnt agree more as a fellow INTP - lets be more realistic. There is a kind of impediment inherent in endless introspection anyway in that pronderousness doesnt tend to led to skill learning or the realisation of ideas. I also have read that the neuronal pathway of extroverts is a lot faster than that of introverts especially in reaction to stimuli. So I dont think we should be tooting our own horns regardless of what we are riding.
As an INFP, this video actually makes a lot of sense to me. I've taken acid a few times and one of the most memorable (and scary) experiences I've had is viewing the world as if I was "falling into a fractal". That may well have just been the drugs however and nothing to do with being an INFP however. And to be honest, it's not something I'd want to experience again.
Ah I know what you mean, sometimes it is somewhat hard being the outcast. My brother is ESTJ, Dad ISTP and Mam ESFJ. So me being messy all the times gets on their backs as they're all S's
dude, my mam is esfj, pops is istj, sis is istj. my family thinks i'm hell bound for being messy/not wanting to go to mega-church/hating the 9-5 job schedule. sucks to be intp if your family is all sj.
Haha that must be interesting. Do you have trouble connecting to them beccause of their sensing? My father is and ENFJ and my mother is an ISFJ :) No ones really interested when I try to communicate abstract ideas in my family because they're all sensing or feeling.
Their sensing does sort of block them from understanding my improvising ways or ideas. My brother's TJ, I think, totally restricts any sort of positive relationship forming. I find him to be harsh and narrow minded and he think's I'm oversensitive and irrational. Your parents both being FJ and you TP, that must be interesting! I know the frustration of having your own family not understanding your ideas and theories... Can be a nuisance!
hmm interesting.. im 17 .. iim an intp .. the only reason i can relate this to my mind is the way that the end nvr comes.. it reminds me of deep thinkingand nvr being able to come to an outcome,,cool
Yes I agree. No specific personality type is super amazing. There are amazing people with many different personalities. But I think he's just trying to express what we are somewhat like. Exaggerating or not. I'm an INTP too by the way.
@Cessations Aye. Also, I always found fractals kind of ugly. Aesthetically, anyway. I never learned about what they actually were but I'd like to learn the theory. So I suppose if that's the point the video maker was trying to make, well, point proven, I suppose.
I think of the nature of reality and consciousness all the time. My mind is my laboratory - I always discover new ways to hacking my mind and test them. Fractals are at the core of how I see the world.
I had a geometry book that had the whole chaos formula thing in the back and it had like a 5 page warning on why you whouldnt read about saying it could alter the way you see things such as flowers and stuff I read it and I was in shock for like a day!
Consider the family of monic centered polynomials Poly(d) of degree d > 2. The connectedness locus C(d) is the set of f ∊ Poly(d) having connected filled Julia set K(f). When d = 2, m = C(2) is the well-known Mandelbrot set. There exist an infinitely many small copies of the Mandelbrot set in itself; for any z^2 + c0 ∊ M such that the critical point 0 is periodic, there exists a homeomorphism x: M M such that c0 ∊ M, the boundary of M is contained in that of M and X(c0) = 0.
heya guys, most comments here are rather arrogant. You guys sound so full of it and that you are more intelligent than the other types. Well maybe, but try not to walk around thinking your very unique and special. But then again its good knowing there are other INTPs around and that my behavior is very similar to these traits you guys listed.
I assume I'm not the only INTP that feels this way:
we try not to act too arrogant, but the loneliness resulting from the lack of similar mindsets in our social environment corrodes us... we're just lonely :P
deep down we know all types have strenghts and weaknesses, and that society needs all of them
I gree. INTPs are not arrogant. That's just the way our specific nervous system wiring controls our facial muscles and speech.
When we INTPs learn about the concept of Brain Types [and we DO seek that knowledge] we realize that "it takes all kinds."
DarkMessiah6, I love the way you described that dichotomy, the outward misperception of the INTP by another Brain Type. For a few seconds a part of me weeped; the other part of me smiled that someone besides myself finally understood.
we might seem arrogant but an INTP (being an NT type) is one of the fastest types to notice their own faults/incompotences and will also sometimes idolise those who they beleive to be more compotent than themselves the reason others consider us arrogant is because we do (gennerally) hold our selves as being more compotent than the average person (which i find as a public highschool student to be rather well deserved
@Computernerd545 I completely agree, I've spent most of my time in a class room setting in the honor/ap classes, and recently took a business law class to have an easy do-nothing class, so I could have more time to prepare for A.P.tests, and I was rudely awakened by the way the people who take the easy classes act, and most people do take the easy classes in my school. Yet I thought I was an average person till those classes, I only wish they would use their brains as well.
@Computernerd545 Almost hilarious that 35 masterminds thumbs upped a comment by a guy who cant spell competent or competencies. I guess one thing we aren't is good spellers.
i wish you could be an intj so i could see something like this for me. it would start off one big thing and breaking itself down into components while playing nine inch nails or something
Ahh, if there was only one image, one image at all, that describes us INTPs, it must be that of the mandelbrot. Thanks for the vid. Not much can crack open the feelings, but this did it perfectly lol. I only wish there were more of us so I had someone who can abstract with me. Maybe even challenge me lol. Not since I was a child has someone been able to intellectually keep up and challenge me. This has been very disheartening and makes me worry about humanity. I am not THAT complex...am I?
INTP and INFJ just connect, we are totally different in our way of thinking in a way that complements each other perfectly. Hart to describe, but the discussions that can take form between these two types are incredible. :D
I bet INFJ + INTP rock the socks off of INFP + INTJ.
Ahahah. Your answer to @gaggOLF is a clear example of how an INTP could be externally perceived as over-critical when his/her true intention is to point out a truth o to show the fails in arguments provided by other people.
For male INTP's, feeling attracted to female NF's is frequent, maybe as a resource for potentiate the inferior Fe function. But as I'm getting older, I tend to think that the best option is doing as female INTP's, which usually seek for similar types...
I've been doing it for so long I find it hard to explain my thoughts to people. I stumble on my words and have trouble picking the right ones. I am constantly trying to reiterate my thoughts into words that won't deter a target audience from listening to what I have to say. It can get frustrating, especially in interviews. Don't get in the habit of dumbing your words down...its very difficult to break. With so many stupid people, it becomes second nature with huge ramifications.
Very well done! I am an INFP, but I think INTPs share the same 'thinking processes' as us, only intellect and logic are the focus rather than people and values. I could very much relate to the abstraction, only my 'focus' topic would be the aforementioned. Yeah.:)
while I liked the video (very pretty), what I had trouble understanding was your portrayal of the INTP mind to that of the fractals.
my understanding of fractals is that the same pattern creates a whole of the bigger pattern and so on. i would think the INTP mind is a lot more complicated than that... i would think fractals were probably more representative of the Sensing types... but that's just my thought. :)
the INTP is focussed on extrapolation of concepts?
fractals are a recursively applied procedure. The mandelbrot has infinite variety (not just infinite detail).. so i suppose the point could be the INTP mind is continually attempting to synthesize new ideas.
or maybe you're right... i have trouble understanding INTP's mindset no matter how much I study them... the only thing that i find clear enough would be... the Ne and Ti as opposed to INTJ's Ni and Te, and for some reason, extrapolation never really occurs to me as a natural process of thought. Might be the Ti thing...
Very nice =). I couldn't stop smiling actually haha. Your symbolism may fall upon deaf ears most of the time with this video...but not with me =). 157/5 stars.
Harshly responding to someone's _supposed_ intentions is pointless beyond self-gratification in the merit of being detached of emotions. In other words, grow up
"that" whatever it is you're talking about, speaks only of the words that they are. Anything else is self-satisfyingly met via a jump the span of worlds. That is how far you jump to conclusions - by worlds. I admire your mental athleticism.
Wait, that's not what I meant. I meant you must really be reaching for substance when you're posting videos like this which you didn't even create yourself!
MBTI is not designed to tell you what your definitive and objective preferences are in each of its 4 dichotomies. Its designed to show you your primary 'behavior' in each dichotomy, it doesn't mean because it says you are intuitive that you aren't sensing, just that in this dichotomy your personality is more heavily weighed to intuitive perception.
The problem with these tests is that people want an OBJECTIVE assessment to a fundamentally SUBJECTIVE set of traits.
Your result is highly dependent on your mindset when you take it, who is giving it to you, your own concious bias, your subconcious bias (you think your something with absolute certainty when there may be a lot more to it then that). I have never met a single person who took the test in complete seriousness whose results didnt pin them to the wall, it described me to the letter. Its also a test that has been upgraded every year since the 60s, so it has 50 years of psycho analysis behind it
It must be administered on a day when you are feeling 'normal' (not depressed, and not super happy), when you are not cognitively impaired, in complete isolation (away from ANY stimui (aka a white room with a desk and a chair)).
If you want accurate results, you must also already have predefined confidence in the MBTI, otherwise you will either purposefully (conciously) or subconsciously manipulate your responses, and hijack them to reflect what YOU think your personality is and should be
The correct administration of the MBTI requires you to completely expose your total raw, and transparent pysche. You must understand and be completely comfortable with the fact that you are entering a state of complete CONCIOUS vulnerability.
This is difficult for ANYBODY, and impossible for many (and our brains naturally resist this subconsciously and consciously unmasking, as, whether you know it or not, your mind may have compartmentalized traumatic thoughts/events, EVEN if you didn't perceive them to be traumatic (but your subconcious does).
exactly.

I personally like the 16 personality types, it's a way to accept yourself, For me at least I've strived to be someone I'm not for the 16 years I've been alive. I've am introvert so I've tried to be an extrovert and it just hasn't worked out. It wasn't good to be quiet in my previous mindset, but this test offers a way to accept yourself for who you are and provides role models (famous people of your type). It also serves as a way to understand other people.
virtuosoikingpin 1 year ago
Do you really like the 16 personality types or do you try to appreciate them? You sound very polite, but in my personal experience, ES's usually are narrow minded people, and I specially dislike ISTJ's. They could be very unbearable: selfish, controlling, they hate those who don't act according to their ideas and try to impose theirs...

@MensSuperMateriam I like the system itself, not all of the personalities. I should have worded my first comment more clearly. I may dislike some of the personalities, but I do not hate any of them. For me, the system serves as a way to deepen understanding of human behavior. If you understand the motivations for peoples actions, it is easier to accept the people, and potentiality resolve the problems that they are causing if any. So yes, I do try to appreciate the different personalities.

@virtuosoikingpin I cannot disagree with you. MBTI, as any model trying to describe
reality, is imperfect (not completed). But as any model, is useful. As you say, it can provide
information which can be used for better understanding ourselves and others.
But I suspect you're trying to use this model in order to improve
your socialization. It's OK when others are valuable persons, but not everybody deserves it.
Do not subordine Ti to Fe. Nobody can be happy against his true nature.

@MensSuperMateriam You're exactly right.

@Cessations I couldnt agree more as a fellow INTP - lets be more realistic. There is a kind of impediment inherent in endless introspection anyway in that pronderousness doesnt tend to led to skill learning or the realisation of ideas. I also have read that the neuronal pathway of extroverts is a lot faster than that of introverts especially in reaction to stimuli. So I dont think we should be tooting our own horns regardless of what we are riding.

As an INFP, this video actually makes a lot of sense to me. I've taken acid a few times and one of the most memorable (and scary) experiences I've had is viewing the world as if I was "falling into a fractal". That may well have just been the drugs however and nothing to do with being an INFP however. And to be honest, it's not something I'd want to experience again.

Their sensing does sort of block them from understanding my improvising ways or ideas. My brother's TJ, I think, totally restricts any sort of positive relationship forming. I find him to be harsh and narrow minded and he think's I'm oversensitive and irrational. Your parents both being FJ and you TP, that must be interesting!

Giblinono 2 years ago 3
Consider the family of monic centered polynomials Poly(d) of degree d > 2. The connectedness locus C(d) is the set of f ∊ Poly(d) having connected filled Julia set K(f). When d = 2, m = C(2) is the well-known Mandelbrot set. There exist an infinitely many small copies of the Mandelbrot set in itself; for any z^2 + c0 ∊ M such that the critical point 0 is periodic, there exists a homeomorphism x: M M such that c0 ∊ M, the boundary of M is contained in that of M and X(c0) = 0.

damoo1982 2 years ago
I assume I'm not the only INTP that feels this way:
we try not to act too arrogant, but the loneliness resulting from the lack of similar mindsets in our social environment corrodes us... we're just lonely :P
deep down we know all types have strenghts and weaknesses, and that society needs all of them
DarkMessiah6 2 years ago 5
I gree. INTPs are not arrogant. That's just the way our specific nervous system wiring controls our facial muscles and speech.
When we INTPs learn about the concept of Brain Types [and we DO seek that knowledge] we realize that "it takes all kinds."
DarkMessiah6, I love the way you described that dichotomy, the outward misperception of the INTP by another Brain Type. For a few seconds a part of me weeped; the other part of me smiled that someone besides myself finally understood.
Thanks.

haha don't sweat it
even though that's not exactly what I said
our "arrogance" is the result of the corrosion caused by loneliness

DarkMessiah6 2 years ago 3
we might seem arrogant but an INTP (being an NT type) is one of the fastest types to notice their own faults/incompotences and will also sometimes idolise those who they beleive to be more compotent than themselves the reason others consider us arrogant is because we do (gennerally) hold our selves as being more compotent than the average person (which i find as a public highschool student to be rather well deserved

@Computernerd545 I completely agree, I've spent most of my time in a class room setting in the honor/ap classes, and recently took a business law class to have an easy do-nothing class, so I could have more time to prepare for A.P.tests, and I was rudely awakened by the way the people who take the easy classes act, and most people do take the easy classes in my school. Yet I thought I was an average person till those classes, I only wish they would use their brains as well.

Ahahah. Your answer to @gaggOLF is a clear example of how an INTP could be externally perceived as over-critical when his/her true intention is to point out a truth o to show the fails in arguments provided by other people.
For male INTP's, feeling attracted to female NF's is frequent, maybe as a resource for potentiate the inferior Fe function. But as I'm getting older, I tend to think that the best option is doing as female INTP's, which usually seek for similar types...

INTPs like us can change the world into a better place only if we develop our E-S-F-J aspects and synthesize it into our inborn I-N-T-P aspects.

Very well done! I am an INFP, but I think INTPs share the same 'thinking processes' as us, only intellect and logic are the focus rather than people and values. I could very much relate to the abstraction, only my 'focus' topic would be the aforementioned. Yeah.:)
billplatypus 3 years ago
while I liked the video (very pretty), what I had trouble understanding was your portrayal of the INTP mind to that of the fractals.
my understanding of fractals is that the same pattern creates a whole of the bigger pattern and so on. i would think the INTP mind is a lot more complicated than that... i would think fractals were probably more representative of the Sensing types... but that's just my thought. :)
blckprljin 3 years ago
ah... not an INTP btw... INTJ here... so maybe i'm just here to confuse you... you never know~
blckprljin 3 years ago
the INTP is focussed on extrapolation of concepts?
fractals are a recursively applied procedure. The mandelbrot has infinite variety (not just infinite detail).. so i suppose the point could be the INTP mind is continually attempting to synthesize new ideas.
or maybe not :)
walter0bz 3 years ago
or maybe you're right... i have trouble understanding INTP's mindset no matter how much I study them... the only thing that i find clear enough would be... the Ne and Ti as opposed to INTJ's Ni and Te, and for some reason, extrapolation never really occurs to me as a natural process of thought. Might be the Ti thing...

MBTI is not designed to tell you what your definitive and objective preferences are in each of its 4 dichotomies. Its designed to show you your primary 'behavior' in each dichotomy, it doesn't mean because it says you are intuitive that you aren't sensing, just that in this dichotomy your personality is more heavily weighed to intuitive perception.
The problem with these tests is that people want an OBJECTIVE assessment to a fundamentally SUBJECTIVE set of traits.

TakunaNuva 3 years ago
Your result is highly dependent on your mindset when you take it, who is giving it to you, your own concious bias, your subconcious bias (you think your something with absolute certainty when there may be a lot more to it then that). I have never met a single person who took the test in complete seriousness whose results didnt pin them to the wall, it described me to the letter. Its also a test that has been upgraded every year since the 60s, so it has 50 years of psycho analysis behind it
mdma4life 3 years ago
I'm not sure of what you're trying to get at...
TakunaNuva 3 years ago
The results you obtain from an MBTI assessment are premeditatively, situationally, and environmentally influenced
Thats why the correct, and supported method of administering it needs to be given by a trained professional, preferably by a credited psychotherapist
mdma4life 3 years ago
It must be administered on a day when you are feeling 'normal' (not depressed, and not super happy), when you are not cognitively impaired, in complete isolation (away from ANY stimui (aka a white room with a desk and a chair)).
If you want accurate results, you must also already have predefined confidence in the MBTI, otherwise you will either purposefully (conciously) or subconsciously manipulate your responses, and hijack them to reflect what YOU think your personality is and should be
mdma4life 3 years ago
The correct administration of the MBTI requires you to completely expose your total raw, and transparent pysche. You must understand and be completely comfortable with the fact that you are entering a state of complete CONCIOUS vulnerability.
mdma4life 3 years ago
This is difficult for ANYBODY, and impossible for many (and our brains naturally resist this subconsciously and consciously unmasking, as, whether you know it or not, your mind may have compartmentalized traumatic thoughts/events, EVEN if you didn't perceive them to be traumatic (but your subconcious does).
