How do INTJs (The Ranger) compare to INTPs (The Ardent)? | INTJ vs INTP | CS Joseph 

INTPs are aware of all the social norms. And we think they are all stupid

I’m an INTP and my brother is INTJ. We will cure cancer.

This happened quite a while ago, I am an INTP and my cousin is an INTJ for reference, we happened to also be work colleagues. After an overnight shift where we worked, we decided to go to taco bell with two of our coworkers. After we had eaten, we started looking through MBTI comparison memes on tumbler. We stumbled across a notebook comparison photograph of an INTP and an INTJ. The INTP's was what you would expect it to be, a jumbled mess written in a way that the INTP could understand. The INTJ notebook looked uniform and sectioned incredibly neatly. My cousin decided to examine this photograph of the INTJ notebook to see what the notes were about. The following conversation ensued. INTJ: "I can't even read this, this has to be Calculus." INTP: "Hold on, let me see that." INTP: "It's in Russian." Our ENFJ/INFP coworkers just started laughing. To be fair, it was a notebook written in Russian about Calculus. We were both right.

"INTPs have no clue what they want" Relatable much

You are the only one in the mbti community that I can watch a whole 30+ video of without getting bored or distracted that's because your presentation is on point and the information you offer is priceless , I can't wait for types compatibility videos that would be great.

I've noticed that everytime you talk about INTP's, (being one myself) i feel like you're buttering us up with the ways you describe our mastery of logic. And i like it.

Watching your videos is way more interesting than actually socialising. -INTP

Lol this video made me laugh so hard at some points. "The INTP is always worried that everyone around them is stupid *points at Ti*. They don't have to worry about the INTJ being stupid *points at Te*"

I'm an INTP who stagnated for most of my 20s, until something just snapped in me and I started focusing on getting my shit together, and I the results of my efforts never cease to amaze me. It has really hit home how much my own views of myself were limiting my potential for most of my life.

Now that I think about it, do you know why you run into INTJs so often on the internet? You post information and we're doing research.

It's never shown, but there is definitely a ceiling fan in this room. (Yes, that's my contribution to this.)

BESIDES the exceedingly well researched material and the permanent myth-busting you do in practically all of your videos, the best part of any of them is when you imitate somebody else's voice. hilarious! congratulations on an incredibly well done job! which of course i'm sure you already knew it was, but external validation and appreciation right? must feel nice to know you're making everybody else feel good ;) - an actual INTJ

Basically, me(INTP) and my friend(INTJ) for more than a decade. He's the researcher while i do the crunching. He tells me to get shit done while i just yeah... yeah... just keep em coming.

I'm an INTP and last week my INTJ told me that I'm "the dopest". LOL

I'm an Intp and my best friend is an Intj. We know each other since highschool and we would always do presetations together. I swear you have never seen such well structured, well researched and well articulated presentations. The combination of Intj structure and research and Intp interpretation and ideas is scarily efficient

"Fe is able to absorb the morals of the INTJ and behave morally themselves." I thought about this. My morals as an INTP are mostly learned and adapted as my own. It's like they were learned observing others, over the years, including Fi users. After learning many morals this way, I went to purge many of them and be more careful about the process. My sense of justice is more built in than my morals.

I'm sad that the fashion thing is true. My INTJ friends are so well dress and I, the INTP, just wear baggy tshirts and jeans every day

"The INTP doesn't let itself want because it sees that everyone else's wants are irrational and it doesn't want to be irrational." Oof, I feel that. -INTP

This was GOLD. This coming from an INTP. Thanks man you are quite intelligent I like you. Subscribed

I had no idea about the intp want/responsibility thing. It makes so much sense for me. I get so stangnant and know that I need to want or need something but I can't properly motivate myself because I can't allow myself to really work towards something.

INTPs are super computers, INTJs are nuclear missiles.

The conversation you made between an INTJ and an INTP about loyalty is still making me laugh about it. It´s basically the relationship I have with a friend of mine wich is an INTP too, and let me say it is really healthy for me hearing from an informed person that they do actually remember the good experiences we INTJ give to them... It's simply a priceless feeling of wholesomeness. By the way, yes, I won't deny I'm researching about his personality type to be aware on how to make him feel comfortable around me.

I just wanted to tell you that I went back to your first video and it seems that you have not been on RU-vid very long. I have seen you mention that you where homeless and you got back on your feet. I did see your intro video and I do understand your vision. I just want to give you props. It just seems like you came out of nowhere and are killing it on RU-vid. I know it's a lot of work, but keep it coming. You are doing great. - INTJ

This is so crazy. I am an INTP with an INTJ sister and it's so crazy how good we work together. Whenever we get together to work together, reseaching a certain topic , or even our dynamic when we go out is so cohesive. Sometimes I feel like we can read each others thoughts with just a simple look. This was so accurate it was scary.

I´m an INTP and my best friend is an INTJ. Dude just walked up to me at the bus stop one day and starting talking to me. Pals for six years.

I have no clue where my INTP is , prolly cus I haven't searched every basement. -INTJ

It makes more sense to call NT's intellectuals, to be honest. I hate it when mistakes like calling us all "rationalists" get ingrained in the language.

I finally understand the letters! they don't matter... thumbs up for that rant.

Wow! Thanks to your video I've realised why I can not fully let go of my very first relationship that ended SIX years ago - that's because I'm a hardcore INTJ and my ex boyfriend an INTP. We met in the government-sponsored fun/study camp for gifted kids. We never spoke a word to each other until a common friend asked him if he liked anyone around and he pointed at me, and that's how it started. When we got stuck on solving one math/physics problem or another, I'd come and tell him from which angle to tackle it from and he'd use the raw computational power I lacked to confirm the approach to be right. People literally had to catch me in the embrace to slow me down, and sometimes I would literally collapse on the ground if I could't MOVE towards something I absolutely HAD to get RIGHT now. His kindness and patience corrected it, as well as explanations i.e ''Let's dance naked on the window sill when people from outside can not see us"'. And I admired how he applied his ruthless intelligence and methodology to everything, including the ruthless methodology of bringing me to an orgasm :D What was really saddening for me is that he was so apathetic (?) that he couldn't dare to dream of anything. So I was constantly kicking his ass to raise his awareness of what he WANTED from life. Unfortunately for us, I knew what I wanted, and it was emigrating to New Zealand, and it broke both of our hearts when we had to part our ways. Now, 6 years later, I'm working as a structural engineer in Auckland and he is working in the science lab that researches DNA and cancer treatment. I have 160 wishes in my bucket list, with 80 ticked off already, and he is still unsure of what he wants to do after Masters/ Phd. I'm obsessed with optimising EVERY process in my life and being as rational and efficient as possible and he is still a kinder and better person than I am. Our relationship is long over but there's still a part of my soul (even though souls do not exist) that cares about him and wishes all the best things in life to him.

Please do videos on choosing the the most suitable jobs or careers for each personality type . Much respect to you 👏🏼

20:10 hahahaha my loyalty is almost philosophical. Even if I /want/ to be with someone else, I won't let it happen because I believe in loyalty for the sake of loyalty. I feel like this might be an INFP/INTP thing with controlling their desires out of principle. Because their decision to be loyal is core to who they are as a person, they would probably be very comforting to an INTJ/INFJ type that is insecure about loyalty :)

INTJ - Clear communication of Sentences and ideas over 90% of the time. INTP- Unclear, unrefined communication of Sentences and Ideas half the time.

I am an INTP and really enjoy your videos mate. Had plenty of troubles in my life and your videos have helped me understand where I have gone wrong with the Si child and stagnating. You are right as I have felt for years like my very soul is dying, despite being very comfortable and seemingly doing well. It's not that simple for us and I would never have figured it out had it not been for MBTI and the good works of people like you. CHEERS! I still have a long way to go but I feel like I am gaining powerful knowledge I can use to bounce back from a 8 year slump. A costly slump as I am now 38 and my youth is over. But I am trying to look back less and forward more ( hard for us INTP's in regard to what I want and need ) easy in regards to future events and others. I really thought I was a lost cause despite being highly intelligent and excellent at my job something has always felt like it's missing. I am hoping to figure out all these things in time but it's still early days. Your videos add an entertaining flavour to it as well as I love metaphors and clever talk. Good work man!

Very informative videos and straight to the point; I usually click off videos but I watched this through. INTP here too

You do a great job of framing each type in a negative and positive light as compared to a lot of other sources seem to try to make everyone sound like super versions of themselves and for that you've earned my sub!

My relationship with INTJ female was a very exhausting experience. I don't understand my emotions and she doesn't understand emotions of others, so establishing emotional connection was a nightmare. I couldn't even develop a good model of our relationship emotional dynamics with her because she didn't listen to me - instead she has been developing _ad hoc_ her own arbitrary solution for each single issue I was talking about; and flooding me with Te ,then asking questions about *her* plan... I understand her feeling of moral obligation to fix everything and everyone, but I was just trying to understand things and mechanics to see the big picture. Her plans and solutions, based on incomplete data weren't useful to me but overwhelming. Talking with her were sometimes resulting in me doubting in my own thoughts and perception. So it doesn't always work so good...

Thank You so much for calling out the duality garbage! I have found myself in the position of informally giving people relationship advice. I’m so frustrated when people cling to the opposites have to be together argument. Off the bat I intuitively know as I have interacted with different kinds of people as an INTJ. I know that an ESFP and INTJ is not a very satisfying, and can be a train wreck. And I know everyone says that two mature people can make anything work. But let’s be honest about the percentage of situations where all the stars align....

Regarding INTJ's making seemingly ''premature decisions'' without regards to the other persons point of view here's my explanation. An INTJ behaves and analyzes according to a framework. With SE being their last function current events are merely an hindrance to the ''reality of the situation''. As paradoxical as it sounds. Let's say an INTJ breaks up with you ''all of a sudden'' without letting you know or trying to ''fix'' whatever area wasn't working or even giving you an opportunity to convince you to give it a try. It's because they don't want you to, they have anticipated so further down the relationship and assessed your level of compatibility in a way that explaining to you how in 3 to 4 months everything would fall apart due to ''X' and ''X'' behaviour would make them sound crazy although hating to admit that most of the time, well ''THEY WERE RIGHT''. This is done both for your and their sake of not losing time, energy and emotions in something that is doom to fail. NI is focused on long term possibilities, TE deconstruction and analysis, FI How this affects me emotionally and what I believe in, put those function together and you get an individual who is constantly living life in fast forward internally meanwhile appearing out of it externally due to inferior SE. In conclusion nothing about the INTJ is ''impulsive'' although to others it may appear so, they've actually weighed this out for a long time and often struggle to put an end to the relationship because we're believers at heart. Now imagine having to explain all of this to your partner. It's useless and most of the time you'll get the usual ''you're exaggerating, going too far etc'' so we learn from an early age to trust our understanding and avoid pouring energy into having our views invalidated due to the perceived ''unlikelihood'' or the incapacity of your interlocutor to project as far like we're some kind of fortune teller. I've been in relationship with an INTP and even he, being an intuitive, thought the NI process was perplexing I'd have to make a lot of effort to explain TE wise what came ''magically'' to me and he'd always question WHERE was the information taken from (typical TI dom). Also, good video, informational, opinionated and yet humorous.

You just described me INTP and my wife INTJ very accurately.

I’m an intj and I feel like my intp friend constantly bullies me :D

The conversational back and forth is amazing. Please don't ever stop doing that in your videos!

As an INTP this is super useful as I do have a huge crush on an INTJ. I mean, like spooky huge, and I am not usually like that at all. Now I understand why, thanks!!! BTW, you're super funny, had a great time watching.

Watched some of your long lectures and they honestly feel like three minutes because they're so intriguing. I'm an INTP and my s/o is an INTJ. He really does help me develop morals and pull me out of my nihilistic void, while I help him explore and make him more trusting. Accurate!

SFJs jump to conclusions even more than NJs. I know 'cause both my parents are SFJs and they constantly ascribed negative motivations to me during my childhood when I was just trying to help. At least NJs are interested in psychology, are intuitive and generally more self-aware so there's some kind of room for self-growth as they mature. Try telling the typical SFJ they've jumped to a conclusion and see what happens - denial, indignation, rants, manipulations, counter-attacks, general controlling behaviour due to the Fe/Si or Si/Fe combination. Infact I've rarely met a healthy SFJ - even one who is elderly.

Very informative. My cousin is an INTJ and I'm an INTP. We have been friends since childhood. We are like oil and water, I can see the differences very clearly now as adults. I always saw his willing full drive as shortsighted-ness as well as his praise worthy accolades as self serving. I can sense his frustration that i don't want what he wants, therefore that i'm crippled by missing out on the satisfaction of appraisals that he enjoys. He is both antagonized and befuddle by my indifference, that i could care less.

Love your video about INTJ and the example that puts the characters to life. Good sense of humor is always appreciated. Hope you do more about the INTJ

Informative, to the point & unapologetically blunt. This is why i always gravitate to this channel, especially when i'm looking for direction.

As an INTP, I've found INTJs to be pleasurable to get along with (mostly). Thank you for such thorough videos.

I had a friend who I think is INTJ, and I accidentally did something that could have been misconstrued as disloyal, although I didn't mean it, and I apologized and everything, but now they don't talk to me; my point is that you mentioned that they are paranoid about loyalty and we (INTP) are focused on how good we were to them and then we get pissed because they didn't recognize that. I don't think we are going to make amends to the friendship because we both are detached, regardless of how long we were friends. Interesting video and seems pretty accurate.

I sent this to my INTJ gf, I’m INTP and have always liked INTJs to the point where I’ve been called the INTJ collector. It’s pretty spot on, we connect so well on a weird level. I don’t think I’ve ever opened up to anyone as much. They say, INFJ is the golden pair but they’ve all been raging dumpster fires. My INTJ doesn’t pry, I just let her in. I’m not sure if this is what you meant by share a story, but I’m insanely happy with her. This video actually helped with dealing with her as well making sure her needs are met because she’s very important to me. She makes me feel okay about the 10 paragraph text messages I send lol.

I cried.. cause I’m INTJ and my best friends INTP and it made me remember how many good times we’ve had together and that I can always go to her to trust🤭🐌🧠

My dad is an ESFP with a pretty developed Te child, so the thing with my Si child rut goes like this- my dad is like "ok maybe you've been pushed around a lot this year, you didn't have time to go into your lala land so you can stagnate for now, no worries, but you know, sooner or later you have to get it together" and it only seems logical that I don't waste my whole life doing nothing because I had been uncomfortable for some time. I personally don't know an INTJ but my dad's subconscious is pretty much my guide. Also, vanilla, right on point. I don't dress hideously but all my clothes are pretty much plain black/blue t-shirts. The Se users around sure pointed it out that I am vanilla. The lecture was amazing. Gotta love you and your burning the lies away attitude man.

Perfect speed. Usually I listen to everything on 1.25, and this channel - normal 👌🏻

I am an INTPish INTJ and everything from my behavior to testing equally high in Ni, Ne, Ti and Te on cognitive tests verifies what seems more than obvious to me. From the first time I took the test and got INTJ and read the description, it seemed very fitting, until I read the INTP description. I read all type descriptions and there was no doubt what so ever, except a little doubt about whether I was in fact an INTP. After watching other types, I soon realized that personality typing is ultimately a continuum and not everyone will fit neatly into a certain "arbitrarily determined number of distinctions" (some systems use 9 types, 16 types, 5 types.....). For instance many type 5 Enneagram are INTP or INTJ (there is obvious overlap). 50% of INTJs are type 5 and 30% are type 1 (big difference). A type 1 INTJ will be more ENTJish and a type 5 will be more INTPish. All man made systems are arbitrary to make better sense of complex nature and personality typing is no different. Ultimately there are 7 billion personality types, but that level of distinction is far to great for any human mind to process and it is unnecessary to glean a basis understanding of general differences in common traits between people. I think 16 types (levels of distinction) is enough without getting too complicated), but for further distinction within types, we must notice the nuances and (intuitively) categorize the sub-types for better understanding. The most difficult thing for me is to put my big picture understandings into coherent words that accurately describe the depth in which I see things. In my mind I need no words, because I see everything in entire concepts and understand the complex whole without needing to break it down into details. It is a fruitless effort, because even if I try to properly explain anything in my long posts, I never run out of tangents which are relevant and connected to the big picture of what I am attempting to describe. I think INTPs and ENTPs are brilliant. I am a "jack of all trades", but I am amazed by the brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci (clearly an ENTP). That man was too smart for his own good (his ideas were so advanced that his era of technology and contemporaries couldn't allow them to come to fruition. I will debate anyone on a topic I am familiar with (I have great faith in my sound logic), but if I had to pick a formidable foe, it would be an ENTP like Lawrence Krauss. As an INTPish INTJ I would say that my greatest strength is finding holes in logic. Or more aptly, people using inconsistent logic. The bells and whistles go off. I am always interested in different perspectives and particularly the ENTP perspective, because they are as raw as people come (even more so than INTJs). If people try to hard to not offend people, then they must suppress the truth. ENTPs lack that sensor (or at least it seems to me) that tells them what not to say to spare feelings of others, albeit they can still come across less insulting than INTJs due to their delivery style.

Just found your channel and it’s amazing! I’m an INTP female with an INTJ mother who is my best friend. This video hit so many nails on the head. All I can say is thank you for all your hard work this video was awesome and I have already shared this channel with my mother. (She made me take the Briggs-Myers test in the first place)

You clearly care about people a lot, and want to help them grow. Also, that is so true about NJ parents. My late father was an INFJ, and he would always jump to conclusions - and he would ALWAYS believe my ENTJ brother over me (INTP). My brother would lie about something I did (to get me in trouble) and my dad would automatically believe him - and then I would get 30 swats. The unfairness was very upsetting to me - at age 32 I still get worked up thinking about it.

Sent this to my ENTJ best friend immediately after watching :) your explanations are interesting and concise, love your channel, keep up the good work

As an INTJ married for 26 years to an ESFP, I can testify to the challenges. omg. Most of the time it's fine, but that's because he generally trusts me with the finances, and he deals with most of the personal contacts outside the house. The inevitable clashes, though, can be huge, especially when he suddenly decides to spend $30,000 without discussing it. This just happened.

I am an INTJ and I understand social norms, I just don't care to much. I also think that peoples understanding and conclusion of social behaviour is wrong or poorly thought through. By that I mean, I understand their thought process, but disagree and therefore chooses a different path.

You are damn right about socionics and their theory of compatibility, it is trash. Duality is not where it's at. Thank you for your service, sir.

INTP researcher here, I was listening to you in the background while at work. You get to talking about INTPs being good at research, and I'm thinking "oh, interesting yeah research makes sense for us -" then you proceed to describe EXACTLY what I was working on. My boss is on vacation and (INTP left alone) I am currently redesigning the master excel sheet all of our project data is warehoused in to automate 90% of the data entry work and calculations for literally hundreds of thousands of data points.

As an intp, we... don’t really change. Unless our situation changes. We don’t usually change unless the world changes. It may or may not be healthy, but it’s also really not something you need to worry about.

I’m an intj, my sister is an intp and my brother is an entp. Still can’t convince them to help me control the work yet, still working on that.

I hope to meet that INTJ friend soon.

I literally got in trouble at work for jumping an extra step without thinking - INTJ 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok this may have convinced me I've been wrong about my mbti type all this time.

I am an INTP and I've come to really enjoy the way you illustrated many of the sessions you've shared. At full disclosure I was not for whatever reason following them, but now I am very happy to follow your style overall

17:00 INTPs = have ethical/social behaviour, and ask "what does everyone else want?" whilst critical to their own wants. focused on the "what if" Remembers things others do. Potentially stagnant. Get into routines. Unaware of the physical environment. INTJs = morally-upright, but not socially aware, and ask "what do I want?" focussed on the reality of what is, but bad with memories. Don't like complacency. Verify all information. Paranoid/untrusting. *** Relationship between the two: INTPs and super loyal/comfortable and remind INTJs of INTP good deeds, helping the INTJ paranoia be calmed. INTPs can be taught to better-interact with their environment, dress well, and not be stagnant by the INTJ. Needs: INTPs need to be thanked for being caring. INTJs need to be thanked for the experience, helping you think, and stay honest. Forgetting an INTJ makes them feel that you are disloyal.

I have a lot of INTJs and ENTJs in my life - which I love as an INTP. I tend to enjoy INTJs more and agree with you that we are a "complete mind" when together. All basis are covered intellectually and otherwise. My best friend, significant other and Mom are all INTJ and it's wonderful. ENTJ is my second favorite counterpart. My older brother is ENTJ and we have always been extremely close. It would be amazing to hear you compare ENTJ and INTP. If you already done this I will search your videos for it and you can disregard my request, obviously. Your assessment of the INTJ/INTP pairing is perfectly in line with how I have theorized it to be myself and am very please to hear someone else saying it. I rarely hear it from any "experts" on the subject.

"Drawning your self worth from the level of acceptance that you have in your life"... What sorcery is this? You have seen into my soul and I feel exposed.

INTP V ISTP

INTJ with an ESFP mom...I see why she frustrates me so...

As an INTJ I'm not afraid of people around me being stupid, and I don't think I'm the smartest person in the room. But I'm constantly afraid that people haven't done proper research, which they usually haven't! I'm really hard on my self when it comes to not forming opinions on things I haven't done a lot of research on too. BUT I know that I can be really hypocritical and sometimes jump to conclusions without having done the research when I think it's "just makes sense", in other words it "feeeeeels right".. This is usually when I don't have time to do the reseaech or when it's things that you can't research, for examle what goes on in other peoples heads. My INTP-partner hates that I always ask him to present the research he's done to come up with his conclusion.. I understand it has to be annoying, but many times he hasn't. The thing is, I think of him as smarter than me and know that he probably is right most of the times, but I have to be able to follow his logic to decide if he's right or not. So, pro tip to all logic people talking to us rationals: help us follow your logic by either presenting research or giving us a step-by-step of "this is how I came up with this".

Intp paired with an intj. Our relationship is quite comfortable. And we are super open with one another. About absolutely anything. Amazing how accurate some of the interactions you mentioned are.

You're just so soaked in this stuff! I loved hanging out with you for the 1/2 hour and learning more about this. I'm an INTP and I can see how I got along and had conflicts with a friend of mine in college about 30 years ago, based on your video, because I strongly suspect that he was an INTJ. Neat!

This was really good, as an INTP who is currently engaged to an INTJ, I can vouch for the vast majority of this. We've both flown ahead in our careers and general life development since getting together, an INTP/INTJ pairing is ridiculously powerful.

I'm an INTP and my best friend is an INTJ and this fits so perfectly.

Dude, that was a great way to address the inferior functions at the beginning. Also, why do people say INTJ and ENFP make a good couple?

The passive-aggressiveness, the delivery, the mimics, the little sketch-like dialogues, the "haha" with the smirk, the "anyways" i. I don't know what to say you really just laid down my birth certificate and made it funny as hell, I genuinely looked at the 5-minute mark and forced myself to not subscrbe right then and there. Your petty attitude towards the other typers are always welcome, you are indeed an icon, thank you.

I’m counting watching this video as my 30 minutes of productivity today. Thank you

i think this video showed me i may have been in my shadow quite a bit recently, which isn't surprising since my life took a bit of a downward turn the past 2/3 yrs, it's kinda stabilising atm but i'm still mostly on edge and in a negative head-space majority of the time due to where i am in my life. i haven't questioned my type in a while till this video then i realised the reason i was is that my shadow has been showing itself more, making my recent experiences coincide with more intj traits. that being said, i'm still gonna haul my ass to the who are intjs video and compare it with the intp one to make sure lol and look into your four sides of the mind video which i realistically should have started with :p edit: also great videos! i'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel, it's getting me back into the whole mbti thing which i kinda gave a rest to for a while. so much stuff here that i wasn't aware of.

Request: INTP-ENTJ compatibility

Just discovered your channel, my partner and I are of those types. Great help and understanding, You deserve way more followers. Thank you.

...i took a test, got intj. Took it again got intp, i dont know anymore

So I’m an INTJ, I took a professional test from work that said I was but when I took 16 personalities and other tests online the results were inconsistent. This made me very paranoid about which personality I actually am so I did extensive research of how to tell if you’re not an INTJ and the cognitive functions of an INTJ. Only once did I actually watch your videos and learned to type myself through cognitive functions did I finally accept the fact that I actually am an INTJ. I really wanted to make sure I didn’t mistype myself cuz I’ve researched that most people who are typed as INTJ from tests aren’t actually INTJ and I did not want to fall into that category.

INTP here. INTJs are the BEST conversationalists. I swear, it's better than sex. Two hours discussing Schrodinger's Cat. HEAVEN ON EARTH.

Love, love your videos. I'm an INTP and yes, I force myself into routines b/c I: drop shit, break shit, lose shit. All The Time. My keys go in the same place every day b/c otherwise I'm late for work, searching every coat pocket and tabletop in the house (and chances are, I'm already late for work lol)...and my keys are in the garbage can or the fricking refrigerator. Super annoying. Yeah, my secret (public? lol) fear is that other people are stupid but you're correct, with INTJs it's never an issue b/c INTJs are Wicked Smart and they know what they're talking about and it's logical and they can prove it. I always find them to be very, very good at explaining and teaching things to me. I find it to be very true that INTJs want to give people a good experience and make them comfortable, and as an INTP I just soak that stuff right up. My boyfriend is an INTJ and yes, I can categorically, systematically recall every single good thing he's ever done for me.

I want that 'How do INTPs compare to INFPs'

I must be the most impatient Intp on the planet. I have zero tolerance for manipulation ,control,stupidity. If my food isn't ready when I am, I become very aggressive and agitated. When waiting on just about anything, I sometimes just give up or take care of it myself. I really have almost zero patience of any kind, except when I'm interested in something ,then I have all the patience and time in the world.

Please do ISTP vs INTP And INTJ vs ISTJ!!

C.S. Joseph, finding your videos about INTP's has provided me with more solid insight than any other source. Consistently on MBTI tests I come up ENFP. It certainly rings true, mostly. On my first ever socionics test I came up INFp. What I really hope to understanding is my interactions and compatibility with INTP. Thanks so much for all your great explanations. Great stuff!!!

My new dentist is an INTJ and I'm an INTP. I went in for a routine teeth-cleaning that was supposed to take an hour but ended up taking 3 hours - we finally had to agree to stop conversing so that he would stop losing money on me even though I was the last appointment for the evening lol.

This video is a lot more accurate about INTP than the others I've seen so far, probably because it describes a stable and comfortable situation and doesn't rely on the usual stereotypes. Also far more succinct. That anecdote about the broken window really speaks volumes. I had a similar incident when I was young.

It is true that INTJs can jump to conclusions too quickly (that is what they do and often it is correct,but Ni can only come to the right conclusion if the data at hand is correct) and that is why my favorite poem is "Cookie Thief" by Valerie Cox. Everyone should read this poem before they go out into the world everyday (everyone has a tendency to jump to conclusions) to remind them how easily they can be fooled by their own biased perspective and assumptions. I think INTJs are even less likely than most types to make this mistake, but why people notice the INTJ failure is because they are used to being right and thus are so adamant (confident) that they are right, even when they are the "Cookie Thief". If you haven't read the poem, read it, because it is absolutely brilliant in depicting this flaw in human arrogance.

I love that you give examples of the interaction between two personalities.

I'm into, my wife is intj and we mesh really well. We make each other better. We compensate for our faults and build up our strengths. This video made me laugh because of the accuracy

Im an INTP with an INTJ brother. Its very hard finding things that we are both interested in that we could work on together but at the same time we get along and understand each others interests

A problem in the dynamic I (INTP) have with my INTJ ex-bf/friend is that we both generally are pretty misanthropic, and I more so than him have a tendency toward nihilism, and that can spiral pretty quickly and be self re-enforcing. Neither one of us will lift the other up. So, we kind of have to keep each other at arm's length to an extent so we don't go into unhealthy thinking patterns. As far as a friendship goes, it's fine most of the time, but it was really terrible when we dated. Personally, I think we would both be better in a romantic relationship with NFs, and probably extraverts, who will make us appreciate people more and get us out of our shells.

This was the best video I've ever seen comparing the two and making it easily understandable. Thank you so much!

You really know your stuff. Thank you. I hadn't realised before watching you that it's not the letters that matter but the cognitive functions. Thanks a lot!
