yeah.. often people think I'm crazy, I will be super emotional and awkward, people laugh at me when I walk by :( And I'm a girl, for crying out loud! the personality page said people tend to think girl INTP are somewhat dumb!!
the only thing that will make my awkwardness fades in one good day is lack of sleep for days and didn't shower in the next morning. All of that will decrease my awkwardness.But that's not a good strategy!
its a good thing there are people that engage in the same problems!
I just took the test and it turns out I am an INTP as well. Einstein, Darwin, and Jefferson are among some of the examples of this type. It is nice to be in good company! It also says that there aren't many INTPs....I wonder if that is why most people seem rediculous to me?
Something like that. Perhaps other people aren't as drawn to MBTI as myself but I REALLY LIKE IT. Too much so. I find myself classifying others, myself, ect. I try to get away from it, because people will try to "fit in" to a certain type once they discover MBTI. Of course, I'm talking about myself. I prefer, however, to move in a direction that coincides with my moral values....rather this affects my personality is ehh...NATURE VS NURTURE 8956203465does not compute
@FeelingFreshSon yea I don't believe personality can be so clear cut that u can fit perfectly with ur result. You can take some out of it but no one shud go as far to define themselves completely by it and dismiss new things they discover about themselves simply b/c it goes against their result. Labels are never good cuz it stops u from seeing anything different. I don't get what you mean that it conflcts with your morals thou.

if you didn't umm and ah all the way through this video it would probably only run to 5 minutes instead of over ten. i thought INTPs were meant to be fluent speakers.
seriously, it seems as if most of you look through the personality types first, chose a rare one and then took the test repeatedly until you got it.
This test is always frustrating. Every other time I take it, I get either INTJ or INTP. I'm literally half J and half P, and depending on each specific test, it takes ONE question to place me in either J or P. Argh!
Same here. I switch between INTP-INTJ (perhaps INFP) depending on the situation. When a judgment is needed or I'm in that mood, it's INTJ. When I'm surfing the web, it's INTP. When I'm social engineering or in a relationship, it's INFP-INTP-INTJ.
I doubt most people are not 100% in ALL categories. Many are 100% introvert on the scale, but can't be 100% of the time, for practical reasons, in daily life.
As an INFP/INTP, I like to think a lot. However I'm very driven to help people, and care about other people's feelings. However I really am very self centered and want to focus on the thoughts and structures of thought needed to be able to describe a visual world full of change. Calculus provides a framework for this, and if you think about the target of the mathematical base, you'll see a connective framework that does a lot of self reflection and analysis, so I really enjoy them.
What a relief it was when i found out i was INTP. All this time i just assumed i was crazy. I'll tell you i spent a lot of time thinking of why i was so different. Sure personality type doesnt explain everything but its nice to know there are 'others'. Just imagine how our lives would be different if the majority of the population was INTP instead of being dominanted by Extroverts,Feelers, and Judgers. Its tough being the oddball.
Great video mort! I am also an intp. There is actually this great site that you can join to connect you with other intps called personalitycafe. Just go on google and search for the keyword personalitycafe. I met alot of my intp friends there and many more!
I don't think we're geeks and nerds. That is just how the less-intelligent view us. I'm a INTP and in school people hold me in suprisingly high esteem. I even hit off pretty well with some of the babes :)
Just scroll down to the header titled "Example: The Shy INTP"
It completely described me and i'm more aware of how I think of and in social situtions and now i'm getting a lot better at it! INTP's have a lot of potential... you just gotta know how to think according to the situation and have the right mindset.
@wikitiki10 Thanks! I'm checking out now. Update from my comment from 2 years ago: I gave a girl the MBTI, she scored INTP (VERY RARE for females). She's been my girlfriend (and a size 0) for over a year. No fights or drama.
@RodCornholio speak for yourself.. I am an INTP - definitely not a geek nor a nerd... and I most definitely score. I maybe introverted, detached and overly cynical, but Im good at everything, adapt to my surroundings and im smart as fuck and i use that to my advantage. Getting with women is all about strategy my friend. Like the proverbial lion waiting for the deer, knowing when and how to pounce is key..from establishing the initial groundwork upto the ultimate prize, its like a game of chess.
I am INTP but im a dumby in book work and in school work.. I have serverly bizzare thinking pattrens though and a high unconventional way of perceiving.. but i am by no means a "genius" i hate being INTP because im in a constant search mood and its very draining
mista, you become worked up in the modern way of living. slow down your physical body and topical desires. try thinking about bigger things like the world, or your neighborhood.
Having considered myself INTp instead of INFp, I can say your video was very interesting. I don't fit any stereotype, but I can relate to a lot of your mannerisms. Gj.
intp's are very curious about themselves and the internet. thats why so many people over internet seem to be intp. i think. also, they love to advertise themselves.
I've taken the Myers-Briggs 4 times over the past 10 years with my job, and each time I've come up as ENFJ...but I think I'm an INFJ because I go INWARDS to rejuvenate. But I do get energized in social setting and by other people. So I guess I am an ENFJ (the NFJ is dead on).
Ohyeah, I love that website on INTP description....I finally understood myself, the day I read that...and like you, I had to laugh (...at myself sort of)!
What fascinates me? Physics, Engineering and Stock Market speculation with an emphasis on "technical trading" (trying to exploit price structures/signals)....LOL
I'm an INTP, 16, and a girl. I took different tests on this multiple times and got INTP everytime except one time I got INTJ. Almost everything it says about INTPs definately describes me!
You're fortunate to know this about yourself at such a young age. Many people have lived long lives, never knowing why they feel different or who they are, thus any hope of applying this self knowledge.
@RodCornholio Yes. But I doubt many INTPs do not know about their special uniquness. I also felt that way for a few years. Couldn't really comprehend my sense of alienation to other people. Now that I have a better understanding of my identity, I can live a happier life and I'm even somewhat proud of my personality.
I always thought the James description of INTP fit me best. Just amazing when you find something that spot on. As far as the emotional component, it's definitely there in both male and female INTP's. The problem is it comes out strong and over the top so it must be suppressed to avoid embarrassment. We cry watching movies too. We just tend to do it alone.
You can change your personality type just as much as you can change your species.
Tests are worse than worthless. They only scratch the superficial surface. The text you read does a pretty good job with that single type, but doesn't truly explain the system.
Reality is much more fine grained than that and the system takes that into account. I highly recommend "Personality Type" by Lenore Thomson if you want to totally nerd out about how all this stuff works.
I am female intp, we are even more reare then male intps around and no female intps are not much emotional! we share the same exact attributes as you intp guys do!
INTP here. I can completely relate to the suppressed smiles and occasional chuckles as he reads the profile. That was me the first time I ever took an MBTI test...
The type-logic site is more entertaining than an accurate reference to myers-brigs typologies. The profile descriptions imply that nearly all intellectuals are INTPs and that INTJs are intellectually sterile. Check out Kiersey, its a little less biased.
Now i know why i find all your videos to be so entertaining, INTP...you haven't said anything in any of your videos that i don't really agree with..makes sense now heh
Yeah that describes me fairly accurately. I don't think these tests can ever be completely accurate... these are after all only sixteen generalised variations seeking to define the entire breadth of human diversity.
The tests are moderately entertaining. A bit shallow for my taste. Too many variables unaccounted for to make it more than a palour game. More accurate than astrology, but not enough science to make it a valid assessment of any individual.
i love the way you smile when you recognize yourself*S*. i heard of lot of what i have seen in you and i must be the same or close to it...recognize a great deal of myself in what you read...
I think when I was younger, I scored more to the J side, but I just retook the test and scored as an INTP. Meh... still interesting. Reading those descriptions, I could be an INTJ or an INTP, and I'm pretty close to an ENTP as well. I was starting to think that all the descriptions could be me, until I hit the S and F types.
