I like being my personality type (INTP) but I always feel like a waste because people tell me I'm smart, but I know that I'm really lazy so I feel useless.
Honestly, I wish people understood that about personality. People are just more interested in using their brains a certain way. You INTPs are certainly interesting!
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi I happen to be very curious, so I do a research about everything I find my interest going to. Yes, I have a high IQ, but I don't think it is a different way of using one's brain, but the curiosity being so strong as to do a research, which is longer and deeper than my friend's. I think that's it. Hugs, and kind regards.
My favorite part of being an INTP is being able to read people lol. Sometimes it feels lowkey creepy but I study people and begin to know them so well I'm able to know what they're gonna say before they say it and lowkey read their minds lol. Like I said it's weird
I can relate myself with this 😂 i use to study people before allowing them into my circle . Probably that's why i have very few friend's . 😂 Sometimes it feels good but sometimes like you said i find myself creepy 😂
as you long as i meet them with compassion i don't feel creepy. But once i am being judgemental it sure does feel bad, but then i remind myself that i am being judgemental and lowkey and catch myself up with some compassion :x
Nudah Not Verified yesss same, someone who i thought i totally knew introduced their self to me and i was like wait i didn’t even know your name💀 but i already made the decision to not be friends w her because i don’t like her friends
you know whats weird? i do the same thing as you, studying people. the weird thing is when you find someone whos studying you and you realizing they dont know you are studying them study you. doing so however, unintentionally, gives them the incorrect information because you know they are studying you and block certain aspects of yourself from them.
This is one of my hugest issues. I could comfortably and happily have unnecessarily deep analytical/philosophical/hypothetical conversations and I've recently realised I do several things that probably make me awful to talk to for anybody without similar-ish interests. Like: talk way too fast, get tangentially tangential, start simply thinking out loud which is apparently a chore to keep track of. Honestly, I wish I could genuinely "talk to myself" as in, have another person to bounce all ideas off of I wish I could find a nice fellow intp to talk to fo sho
@@jadeedens7755 I rant to my dog sometimes instead of myself, because she can't object and it's slightly less sad then delivering detailed arguments on things noone (offline) cares about to myself.
I'm an INTP and I suck/hate math it makes me frustrated that I can't understand it well. I'm way more into psychology. It's also very exhausting to constantly analyze everything and everyone😭
I hate maths, it's absolutely not my favourite subject and when she was talking about how we love theories I instantly thought of sociology and psychology (which are two things I currently study). I like things that I can evaluate and analyse and create into systems and I feel like these broad subjects with no set answer allow me to do that in a more freeing way.
We can't all be analysed and put into a box with a label. Really I am not sure what I am but I like math and psychology. I like intelligent discussion but I am not sure it is logical to put labels on people. I am just different and we are all interesting but quite different.
I think every INTP has his own THING were he wants to know more about and go deeply into the matter and for some this is math for others it is rather something else they focus on. :)
Theory: INTPs are also more interested in personality theory than others because it is a theory that can be used to understand the world. How wonderful is that everyone can be broken up into these 16 personality types. You can use these templates to help navigate your communication and understand social dynamics. For example I have found that people who score super high in openness dominate in academia while people who score higher on the dark triad tend to CIA and FBI jobs. This may sound redundant and axiomatic but these personality theories give a strong insight into the functioning of society and more importantly how to navigate through other personalities. They also seem to be the most flattering to INTPs. Everyone likes to hear that they are smart. I have also noticed that INTPs make a point of being unique, their idea or understanding is rewarded for being a bit divergent from the vox populi. It could be seeing through the tosh of a ruling ideology or having an ah ha moment when it comes to the P vs NP problem.
You've reminded me of all the vocabulary I've lost over the years, attempting to be "understood," and a "functioning member of society." Gradually rebuilding, thankfully; I've missed my words. As for your comment, I would have to concur; I have indeed used it as a baseline to understand the world around me. Where I find it problematic is with those who won't look beyond those basic definitions.
The irony here is the INTP gets all excited about personality theory and tries to talk to coworkers about it. Which results in the coworkers eyes glazing over. (personal experience of the last few days.)
@@ineedhelp8573 No, you just find your comfort zone gravitates towards doing less and Si can easily overrun Ti in unhealthy or immature INTP, which is almost all of us in this society which favours ExxJ AND where Fe, Te, Si, Se, Ne, Ni, Fi, Ti is the preferred order of function use. Ti users are the most disruptive to this while being authentic. So Ti users suppress their Ti and try to appear like an introverted tertiary using ESFJ (they use their Si more than Fe and use Ne a lot). But people see the Fe deficit and don't like that. INTPs generally don't value using their Fe, or Fe users, but still want to be accepted and useful to groups and get upset when they are rejected or don't feel themselves to fit in So INTPs that are forced to be around groups and try to fit in end up overusing Si and become incredibly comfort and routine oriented while feeling burned out and like their life choices aren't logical. Unfortunately that ends up translating to their alone life too. And then, worse, they get so sick of the social group struggle they then feel uncomfortable, withdraw, repress their insecure Fe and sit in an Si-Ti loop doing nothing but thinking, and deciding anything hard or uncomfortable doesn't logically make sense to do because they know it will make them stressed
Oh god. Dont feed our egos. Thats the last thing we need Great vid tho. Keep releasing INTP vids and ull get more views. Were all over the deep depths of the internet, and this vid can pretty much explain why
I agree, I don't think INTPs are necessarily the "smartest". We're typically interested in academic or complex things, and we're basically built for understanding those things, but these things just happen to be associated with the common idea of what intelligence is. Intelligence has a lot of factors, and there are multiple forms of intelligence. INTPs are great at understanding systems, but quite bad about being emotionally tactful and tend to be unaware of their surroundings. Plus, sometimes they can feel totally inept at doing day-to-day tasks, and feel useless because they're only skilled at doing more abstract things. Edit: grammar
As an INTP, what I appreciate more than anything, is someone understanding my personality. Only people that are open to constructive criticism or thoughtful dialogue enjoy my company, everyone else thinks I'm full of useless info or a know-it-all... 😁
well, it's a fine line between both right? offering constructive criticism and being a know-it-all. But it's okay, some of us appreciate that and are willing to toe the line with you guys!
there's a game called trivia crack, i think.....some friends were playing it, so i installed it on my phone..... after like 2 months of me dominating the score(at least twice as many points as the second place) every single week.....they all stopped playing. i dont play games with anyone anymore.....i have more fun on my own.
I've experimented on my body and mind my entire life, within reason. I'm a walking test subject of myself. I'm like the scientist who gave himself ulcers to prove they are caused by H. Pylori
I am intp. Speaking of Ti subjectivity, I am open to new ideas and will respect whatever people think, as long as they have some kind of backing for it. When I encounter other intps or people with opinions, I often try to merge our two systems, by showing them elements in mine and trying to learn about elements in theirs. If I find a flaw, I point it out. If they find a flaw, I ponder until it makes sense again and thank them. I am open to new ideas, but I get very upset when other people aren’t.
I had a big argument with a friend. She came up with "but I know someone" and didn't want to listen to me. So I send her a scientific paper and different articles. She didn't even read it, although she claims to be scientist. Don't know why she thinks that. In fact she is a language teacher at high school. I can't stand her anymore, when she is offended everytime I just say some proven facts.
My gf hates my for questioning her thoughts but I just want to know how she came to a certain opinion. She thinks i think shes stupid but i just ask the questions i would ask myself to understand something
One of the reasons that I say my girlfriend is "precious" is because we are able to ask one another these sorts of questions - the questions are simple queries-for-data. She's not at all an INTP. We both appreciate this about each other. It's just a matter of understanding what's going on for the other person, how they got there, how they think.
Try studying her personality type! Figure out how you can express to her your ideas and questions in a language she can understand. If she is an F type, which she seems to be, remember to tend to her emotional needs. F types might find it very frustrating to feel attacked by questions doubting their ideas. Rewind and reword your questions to account for how she perceives your words. It may be difficult, especially for an INTP, but make an effort (even if it’s a failed effort) to understand her emotional needs. Seeing the effort, as tacky as it may be, is usually enough for an F type to feel cared for and understood. In the same respect, she should study your personality type and understand why you ask questions the way you do. She should account for the fact that her INTP isn’t as emotionally mature as her and may struggle to communicate in regards to emotions, and is simply speaking through a filter of pure logic and reasoning.
OMG I can't stand people who aren't able to take the heat of a debate! They confuse genuine questions with defiance of trying to discredit them... I remember being thoroughly frustrated in school when I'd question something a teacher was explaining (always very politely and making sure they understood I was questioning the idea being presented, not their way of teaching) and they read it as "trying to disrupt the lesson"... In many ways this isn't a world built for our kind 😂
Clicked on this because I was feeling like a total failure after dropping college... man it's hard to stick to only one thing. So many good and interesting things to learn... Anyways... Thanks for feeding my almost inexistent ego. I truly appreciate it lol
I am as well, I am not sure how it works though, I am trying to be more aware of it now that I have learned about the MBTI types in order to understand the nature of those feelings and why I feel them (I mean the context or the trigger) This aspect of me is mainly what made me question the test results as I had some similarities with other more sensitive types. But the more I learn about the INTP the more I see myself in them, especially based on the experiences of other INTPs, I'd like to believe that in the end of the the day we are individuals and each person is different than the other, and although we may fonction with a similar system, we each have our own way of using those fonctions depending on the situations we've been through, lets also keep in mind that our own experiences shaped us in different ways, and that maturity also plays a big role in all this. Our background, social norms and so on, makes us all different despite our similarities.
it depends on your Ti framework and values. I highly regard issues of social justice like police brutality and how badly the modern political system causes injustices. this is a thought time for me emotionally cause i feel like i want to do more.
Seriously, I fully typed myself out to be an INTP 5w4 sx/so so my personality ends up being a paradox of logic and emotions I’ll probably never understand.
Thanks for making me feel good about being me. Being an INTP is hard for me because people don’t like my questioning everything, it’s so I can learn and understand. But others view this as lack of faith, or lack of trust. Others think I’m not genuine, or that my questions are subtle jabs at my friends and their inabilities. Over time I’ve grown more introverted to protect my friendships
This is too true. Both I, and my boyfriend are INTPs. He deals with things differently. I love to talk about all my ideas and it's way too much for 1 person to have to hear I've found
As an intp I'd like to say: you pretty much nailed it 😂.. Except for the part where you said intps like math.. I hate math.. as logical it might sound, I never liked it and it's my biggest weakness 🤦🏻♂️ But philosophy is lovvvveee😍
If I start doing maths I tend to enjoy it but I don't love it. And I am definitely not motivated to do it unless I have to . Even then I keep procrastinate till the last moment
We call our mental process the TI loop of death, because those what if questions stop us from acting on what we process or perceive to be true. It’s linked to divergent thinking instead of convergent thinking as well.
This is the most accurate description I've heard of myself so far....I'm an "INTP" apparently - but there's this prevailing concept out there that INTPs are emotionless, and that's just not me. I get incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about my ideas and I love to forcefully overshare them when I socialize, which is why I always have a nice little bubble of personal space.
The Intuition part also means that a person can be emotionally catched by certain ideas and imagination. Therefore INTPs also are emotional (excited) when their most liked topic ist part of conversation or they get new ideas and lern to know how to connect them to others. :)
I’d argue, as an INTP, that we are in fact incredibly emotional. The difference is that we can set how we feel aside for what we think, coupled with a tendency to repress our negative emotions, we can appear emotionless to people we aren’t comfortable expressing ourselves around. A friend of mine told me that she thought I didn’t like her at first, when my feelings were actually closer to positive indifference. I think as a type we just tend towards not always knowing what to do with feelings since we can see when we shouldn’t act on them but that can lead to almost never acting on emotions even when appropriate. Can confirm, I have many feels. After all, we strive to understand things, and empathy is really just the understanding of people, so we can be good at it if awkward in practice.
Being an INTP I've noticed that I always have the urge to learn how things function. Instead of reading fictional books I read dictionaries and tech manuals. I'm also always analyizing people by what they say and do. I even try to interpret my dreams by looking them up online to see what they mean. Although I'm not good at math, I am good at analyizing information and compiling it all into one easy to read "file". In fact I wrote a whole training manual to train new workers at my job. My thirst for knowledge never ends. What you said in your video pretty much sums it up.
Bro, I’m sorta that opposite in a way. I love learning about things, don’t get me wrong (science, psychology, and philosophy are my children) but I tend to exclusively read fiction. It’s my escape from this world, no more school, socializing, or taxes. Just me, words, and a story. It’s rather therapeutic actually, though I can totally see why you would take interest in documentaries and manuals. How you described your way of analyzing is accurate to me though. The only difference is that it seems like you may be actively focusing on it, while I do it more passively and just sorta acknowledge behaviors and potential information that may be useful later. It’s pretty neat to see how other think, though. I could go on and on, so I’ll just stop here ‘cause you probably didn’t want to read all of this anyway, haha. If you did, thanks, annnnnd hope your journey in the ‘how’ of functionality treats you well :)
@@electro.dash.666x7 I read your entire comment. I usually escape by watching fictional movies. Also just to keep my inferior function in check I'll watch some light hearted romantic comedies or chick flicks here and there with my mom lol.
i feel like all of us INTPs are so different in some ways, like i wont learn something unless im highly interested in it, but normally i read like a lot of fiction u know, thirst for knowledge doesnt ever end with us tho ur right lol
It feels like INTP's were created by an INTP we were the perfect thing that could have been but was hidden away and decided to not tell anyone because they thought no one cared.
I'm an INTP working R&D in computer science (see my channel). Most of what you said is true, except it's not awesome. It's sad and lonely. More you try to understand stuff, more you see how the world sucks and how it's harder and harder to find solutions because of the human/society factor (well it's just a personal opinion based on observation and I'm a pessimist so maybe I'm completely wrong...). My point is, being INTP only leads to sadness. I'm considered pretty smart by the standard definition of intelligence and by the people who know me. Most of the time, when I take a step back and look and my life I see all the problems my intelligence creates. I wish I was dumb, I could be so happy. And that's was just me about life in general, I think it's worst in social situations. In social situations people who don't know me tend to think I'm haughty. I remember one time I was at a party with a friend and he introduced his girlfriend to me. At the end of the night, "Why Fy hates me?" she asked him. The thing is, I did not hate her at all, on the opposite, I was quite fond of her. Maybe it is just me but I'm a very very logical person and I can't stop myself from correcting people when they're making logical mistakes or when they just lack consistency. It does not matter who's right or wrong (it does, but anyway...) if the base of your argument is based on a logical fallacy I can't take what you're saying seriously. I can try to understand why you believe an error to be true but if I take time to show you and still you choose to not see... man it drives me nuts sometimes. And it's because I act this way that most people struggle with me. I guess most of what I said sounds incredibly pretentious and it is but this is just the way I see things. You could argue that my faith in logic is just that: faith but I would have a hard time taking you seriously.
@Nathan Armour I'm too lazy to argue that logic and the laws of logic fit perfectly with reality and nature. Only humans don't. The perception of chaos and chaos itself are two very different things. But yeah, maybe I'm wrong.
Damn i never thought I could relate this much with yt comment. I specifically hate discussing politics anymore because my country’s system is oppressive and although Im really invested on social reforms, I just don’t think it would be possible because people are generally greedy.
@@athenaprima4388 I’ll engage someone in a political discussion and , out of nowhere, they explode with anger and I’m absolutely perplexed not realizing I had tied them into a logical pretzel. To me, they are just ideas. To them they have an emotional investment in their ideas. Strange
I usually roll my eyes when I see these kinds of videos about INTPs, but I definitely think you hit the nail in the head when you point out that being an INTP doesn’t automatically mean you’re the smartest person in a room. As one myself I’m constantly fascinated by things I can learn from other people that I think are smarter than me, I think we’re all more knowledgeable than someone else in some areas and deficient in others. So I do agree that the type strengths just sort of guide your thought process and interactions with the world, but don’t completely define you or your innate abilities. Thanks for posting this! Take care!
The hardest thing for me to get people to understand about my worldview is that I don't judge anyone's feelings/perspectives/actions as being inherently good or bad. We all have flaws, we all make false steps. What I find intolerable is dishonesty, especially the internal dishonesty that prevents people from reflecting on their mistakes and striving to evolve. Conversely, I have the most respect for people who have fucked up and learned from it.
As others have said, there's a stronger correlation between having a high IQ and being an INTP than there is with any other personality type, so as a group, INTPs are smart, though it's possible for any individual INTP to have a low IQ or an individual person with a different personality type to have an IQ that is either higher than the average INTP IQ, or that of an individual INTP. So you can't just assume that because one person is an INTP and the other person is not an INTP that the INTP will be more intelligent, but the chances of that happening are statistically likely.
IKR, I was looking at the way the cat's fur was all jagged looking and wondering if it was hackling its back at another cat and also the pattern the fur made was both aesthetic and disturbing and made it harder for me to focus on what she was saying, lol
You're right on your statements and glad to hear that you find us interesting because not all the people think that about us, mostly they think we're boring and that we think way too much. We, as INTPs, can very analytical with so many thoughts and plans in our minds but... that could work against us. We could be interested in so many things very quicky but drop it with same speed because we got bored or distracted in other topic. Nice videos and I'd be glad to have a chat with you on any topic.
As an INTP I feel I know more than most of my peers purely because I spend 10X as long building my theory of everything and most people spend time with small talk. It's not about being more intelligent, its about being more focused. Not hyper-focused on one thing, but building an idea of everything so I can more easily figure out other things and sort of split test ideas against each other.
I really like that you've mentioned that INTP is not necessarily the most intelligent personality type. Being an INTP I agree 100% with this statement. I think there is a misunderstanding among people having fairly different types, who kind of perceive INTPs as some geniuses. Although it's possible that INTPs will come up with some pretty unique and interesting points of view, this is not about their intelligence, but more about the unique construction/dynamism of their cognitive functions.
INTP will going to reach their success if they can lay up from their bed. Its struggle :( when i want to go to somewhere but my mind and everysingle cell of my body said 'No' And actualy just keep lay down to the bed.
2nd Grade progress report: I don’t know how he gets A’s on all the tests when he never turns in homework. Doesn’t play well with others. Really needs to clean his desk.
Intp guy here , The statement you said about explaining an entire logic and then saying, what if the first logic is not true? Is the best characteristic of an Intp + also shows that they do keep an open Mind but will be absolutely stubborn in conclusion, if you try to convince her/him by using emotions & that isn't charming and often leads to calling them Cold hearted. Btw amazing video. All the best!
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi I'm an INTJ and I don't think emotions carry much weight with INTJs either. I think I'm particularly averse to emotional reasoning, based off of how I take it, when compared to other INTJs I have observed. It is far more acceptable if there is sound logic within it. A completely emotional argument seems too subjective, to me in many cases.
Definitely similar to this. This is my inter worlds constant catch phrase basically, But What If Your Wrong, Eh?! Or more so, WHERE are you wrong, since we're all constantly carrying around far more layers of self delusion than we'll ever care to even acknowledge. This incessant skepticism causes me to find much more interconnectedness everywhere than I did when I had much less developed my way of thinking (which is definitely still evolving) and I think a lot more than people give a poo to listen about. Too bad. I'm waiting to find a cool INTP to talk with a bunch🤞
Yes! I love to hear more of this broken down information about myself. I spent so long trying to find a video that simplifies explanations that I am looking for. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video. You made this INTP’s day. I have long felt ambivalent about being an INTP, and you gave me such a clear sense how we INTPs work as fully human people. You showed me the ways in which we are strong and, as you say, awesome. I keep going off into branches of thinking as I write this and keep deleting this down into something reasonable in length so I’ll just end with another thanks and a click on the like button and the subscribe option as well.
I'm a INTP and I always feel like expressing myself is quite complicated. In my brain it's like a giant cloud of ideas and thoughts that move frenetically in every direction. So when I speak I talk about something, which make me think of something else which itself will bring to an other thing. I digress and the main subject become more and more far away. I think if anyone want to talk with an INTP it will be easier by writing. Give your INTP the time to think about your question/subject and structure an argument (it's also a good exercise for your INTP since it will force it to structure a cloud of ideas).
Wow, your words just pours the sweetest honey on my heart and this is what builds up my self-confidence 😊 Thank you. Greetings from an INTP guy from Poland😁
I recently started looking into my personality type (INTP), and I keep seeing heaps of praise for my unique thought patterns in all of these videos, but in the real world, my intelligence and thought process are either treated as novelty entertainment, or are perceived as a threat. People either say I'm smart, and ignore every word I say, or try to actively sabotage my ideas from working. They don't even bother to steal my ideas. I'm not trying to show off, just let me be useful damn it.
I'm an INTP, I know the video is titled "What makes INTPs awesome" but sometimes its not that great. I understand for the general atmosphere of the video you'd want it to be positive, but we INTPs aren't perfect. I especially (I'm sure a lot of INTPs go through this) struggle with "Over Analysis Paralysis." But yeah pretty accurate I'd say. I know there are flaws, but I'm super proud to be one (maybe too proud lol).
I've definitely witnessed many "Over Analysis Paralysis" from the INTPs, but you guys are still awesome! I'm sorry if it's hard to be one sometimes, but it's hard to be an ENFP too.
Oh, I didn't knew Over Analysis Paralysis was a concept hehe being an intp can be fun and games, untill someone important and close to you start telling you about their emotional problems and they don't feel accompanied. One could work that though, I have, with a lot of effort.

I got fired from every job until I figured out I can file in my head then pull it out when relevant. People don’t believe you’re working when you’re thinking but it’s the way INTPs work best. I imagine the finished results then work toward that end rather quickly, like tracing. Don’t ask an INTP what they’ve been doing all day, they might tell you.
Aw, thanks for saying such good things about us! You are the same type as my mom and sister and I appreciate your type because they will actually listen to everything I have to say even if they find it hard to follow or not super interesting and they’ll be really supportive and give great advice. And I really appreciate that they love me for who I am too because it can make a person a bit insecure sometimes to be so socially/romantically inept. Usually I don’t care but I’m trying to branch out more socially lately so I don’t get too weird being alone and talking to myself all the time so it’s nice to know that as an extroverted type they’ll take me out to do things or reach out to me to get me to open up when I normally wouldn’t because I don’t have the emotional processing power that they do. 🙃
I have struggles being INTP growing up, I would say straight out the things that my friend did wrong instead of sugarcoating everything. Well I do tell them where they did wrong and advise them on how they would do better but they just thought I am trying to be smart and all. I only have 2 people who completely understand my evaluating nature. They value my advice and recommendations and i couldn’t be more lucky to have them.
Well I think you maybe aren't if you think being an INTP equals being smart or you haven't learned and reached some conclusions and are aware of some things yet
Jezus fuck, you described me to a T. I'm blown away at your understanding of INTPs despite not being one yourself. Also, thanks for being so kind and forgiving of our faults and shortcomings. We really do care about other people. Our brains are just constantly trying to process everything from every angle as objectively as possible, and we therefore sometimes come off as cold or uncaring. We care, we just can't help processing everything and getting as much information as possible to process further. That is definitely something I am trying to improve on... Great vid!
*Me:* **am aware that I can get too egoistical which is a bad thing** *Also me:* **actively search for videos about INTPs to stroke my ego** As an INTP, I feel like two different people in one body - the person I am internally (thoughts, feelings) vs the person I am externally (actions).
I'm an INTP and agree with everything you said. I'd just like to add that, maybe it's just me but, I find it very hard to keep interest in people with a different intellectual and emotional profile. Especially people who think they know stuff because they saw some silly article on the internet or heard it from someone famous on mainstream media - without any analysis. That's why I tend to socialize very superficially, unless I find someone similar.
After watching about a dozen other videos on MBTI, I have to say, I really like the way you broke down the stack into how each was expressed. That's something I have yet to come across and it gives even more meaning and clarification to my understanding of MBTI; so thanks for that. You basically summed me up, except for the math part; I passed, that is all. I think it's safe to say, I'm an INTP but I haven't taken the test. I would like to point out, while in the military, I had to get way out of my comfort zone and acquired skills to at least act like I wasn't an INTP. These skills ranged from speaking in front of large groups, to having a conversation about sports, to biting your tongue, especially when you're right (risk management). I knew very quickly the military was not for me, but I'm the better for it and don't regret it despite all the BS it came with. Point is, to other INTPers, push yourself out of your comfort zone (or out of the house), you'll learn, grow and be better for it.
Intp’s aren’t ALL about math though. It’s very common that we do like Math but I’m not a math person but I’ll spend all day looking up things to learn about.
Thank you. As an INTP I cannot help but add something to your conclusion. Please Factor in the Si when analyzing the INTP intelligence. It’s the Si that gives us the encyclopedic knowledge base from which we ground out theories and arrange information into coherent form. The Ti allows us to quietly and thoroughly reach into our encyclopedia and the Ne is how we check information and conclusions against external reality. We use the energy from Fe to express ourselves and to be patient to share with others. Hope this helps.
The most interesting thing about this video is how as an ENFP you love having conversations with INTPs. That is awesome. I need some ENFPs in my life. :) Your energy seems very kind. Maybe it's just because this video is a positive one, but I think I will probably enjoy watching your other videos. This is my first one of your videos that I have watched. Thanks! @Heart of Michi!
I never gave much stock in personality profiling after all the different ones i've done over the years, they felt like how a horoscope could apply to anyone and some will be correct, some won't. I tried this whole 16 personalities thing a few months ago, I got INTP and it was literally like reading about myself, one thing it said is that it will feel strange being understood and I couldn't agree more. This video again was pretty much nail on the head. I found the bit about intelligence interesting, because I've discounted it even as a concept for years, some people are better at different things than others; I'm better at strategy gaming than some because I've done it most my life, I'm pretty bad at social gatherings because they aren't my thing. One interesting thing about INTP is I always find I have to go back and correct something I've typed, because my brain rushed ahead and forgot to type out some words.
I avoided MBTI stuff for years for the exact same reason! I categorized it in with astrology, religion, etc else that is pseudo-esque and trying hard to be real I still feel that one can relate to several of the types, and I have my own theories about possible shifts in the foundation of the type of categorization, but it does seem to be all we currently have, until its further developed.
I am INTP and I get along well with ENFP's they are actually one of my favourite personality types. They seem to have strengths I don't and are great to talk to. Calm and thoughtful people and intelligent in their own way.
I rewatched, was wrong, and will delete the reply shortly. What you said was perfectly peachy, and I'd guarantee it made them feel very valued. I had pictured a spiral, where we couldn't leave an angle or topic when we want or need to. And, FWIW, the request for INTPs to watch (11-12:00ish) felt so perfectly tuned and dialed in poke the right buttons that it's unsettling.
wow....just felt like someone was in my mind for a sec ..lol....I love your description and how you just broke down the whole personality ....i'm INTP and im proud of me...:)
You have such a soothing voice, and very organised way of talking! Your eyes keep distracting me though! Very beautiful . Thank you for the video. And could you do the INFP next?
My two best friends are INTPs (a correlation?!), and they're just literally the best (even before I got to know them well, I kinda had this feeling that we're connected in some ways). Just wanna give you some of my delightful experiences I had. Every time we're together, we discuss the hell out of our never-ending ideas regarding Physics, Math, Psychology (actually one of them introduced me to Jung's ideas), Literature, Philosophy, Art,... (you name it!), for hours. My take is always 'holistic' while theirs are often 'reductionistic' and this is where we usually clash at first but then it leads to interesting syntheses in the end, and always give me a mindgasm! :) They're well-balanced, limitlessly caring, emotionally mature (way more than me in a way that I always confide in them), usually looking for new stuff to eat/drink/... (I've expanded my narrow list of 'what to have', thanks to them), into comics/manga and just as you mentioned, they're into IQ stuff, you know :) But sometimes they just seem can't/don't wanna see beyond their logical systems (i.e. the multiple equally-valued 'locally' options/solutions for a given case), and that's when I burst off yelling "I know what's a logical option/solution, I've already examined them all, but that won't work and why can't you see the bigger picture/'globally' here?!" kinda stuff, so when I connect the dots "out of box"-ly, they begin to grasp excellently what I mean => a true happy ending! Now if all the INTPs (> 5 sigma) are like them, I can safely say that they're the "most awesomest type ever"! :)
I'm definitely subscribing to your channel. ENFPs are so much fun to be around. I'm an INTP myself (yes I was tested by a professional) and I hate it, because we are our own worst enemy. I know MBTI has nothing to do with IQ, but the constant self doubt and second guessing holds a lot of INTPs back. Although with that said, I really enjoy your content so far, and I wish I had someone like you to talk to. I don't know any ENFPs.
From what I can tell online, most people like us(INTPs) in theory, but in practice we often have a tendency to accidentally make people feel bad about themselves when we try to share what we find interesting, or because of our bluntness...
I wouldn’t say they’re open minded, I’d say they are fair in how they judge things as true or false with their Fe inferior but their Te nemesis can be super assumptive about others’ knowledge and capability.
Yeah...as an intp i sure as hell observe and deduce gathered information. Sometimes my imagination takes over and not much gets done, except to entertain a possibility, and those possibilities are extensive and consuming. Yet I wouldn't call myself a basement dwelling dopamine addict, although it is a common practice among many. I do fall in a trap of being dutiful, its a horrible affliction, a source of guilt, resentment, and mental anguish, which kind explains why many intps could excavate themselves away from society. Honestly i couldn't get my self out the door without a supplement of B-vitamins, caffeine, lots and lots of phosphorus, which can explain why i love to landscape my farm, and my addiction to bone noodle broth soup.
From an INTP, thanks for your video. I should be finishing an assignment, but I watched this thinking I'll be encouraged and feel better about myself and life and stuff and feel able to tackle this assignment. So, yup, it worked, thank you. :-) Mostly just your kindness is the best thing about the video, but good content too! :)
"go all the way down the logical spiral, and then say but what if that's not true" 💀💀💀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 so so so accurate some types find it endearing and others want to kill us for being frustrating 😂 - intp
Ha ha, I'm an INTP, it amuses me that the more I study my chosen subject the more I have come to the conclusion that it is not open to subjective interpretation, however, I fully accept others would disagree with me, and that's fine! I also feel that even though it's not open to subjective interpretation, each will engage with it in their own way.
The hardest part of being an INTP would be settling in on something. Being one, I never was or I guess will be able to settle for something once I reach there. It always seems like something better is round the corner. On a side note, don't try to get us working on something we don't like. If you do, then 1. Don't complain about the quality. 2. Congratulations, we accepted to do it because we felt you are entering into the INTP's comfort circle. Disclaimer: Never try to open up an idea when there are 2 INTP's in the room. They will either roast you or roast each other. (Get a popcorn if the latter happens,l. It'll be fun. :D)
Great video! as an INTP we tend to overanalyze ourselves and the things that we can perfect so at least in my case I tend to left aside the good parts of being an INTP so your video it's a nice reminder of that, and also is interesting coming from another MBTI type, so I appreciate it, thanks ;D
Thanks a lot for the wonderful video. I needed to hear something good even if it is not directed specifically to me, the video made me feel good to the extent that I am actually making a comment on it :) Thanks for making an INTP happy :)
Same, I did it multiple times. I learned to keep my suggestions to myself. I thought I was sharing the best value I could. They looked at me in awe : What an arrogant idiot. BTW I run my business now.
ENTJ here. I actually admire those ideas, sort through them, add my own, and deploy the necessary resources to make it happen. "I'll show you how you can do it better" is also an NTJ thing.
Did you phrase it as: You can make more money if you do xyz or you can improve the product? If you talk money, people will listen, if you talk about product, people will usually take it personally, as a reflection on their adequacy.
@@cryoshock3206 you're a fool i love being intp even though its hard to live as one semse where constantly made fun of are fundamentally "wrong " by society standards
It took me many years, but I can truly say that I love being an INTP. When I first took the MBTI it seemed like astrology; but once they gave the explanations it was the first time I felt that I understood who I was and how other people reacted to me. It takes a lot of study and experience to have a deep understanding but it is very empowering, and makes life fun because it gives you a tool to know how you can do things better.
That is so me! I drive people crazy with my speculation. Thank you for appreciating that trait. And we do get very excited about new ideas. That is my biggest strength and weakness. I have a difficult time staying focused and engaged in my current project. Details make me nervous. Which is hilarious being that I'm an artist that works on miniatures.
Thank you for the ego-boost :) You're spot on, but I need to re-watch the video a few times to fully analyse it (unfortunately, not sure I have the time for that). First time for me to hear about the wanting to talk about feelings part, and the part about wanting people to feel good, but that's true. People find it weird at my corporate job whenever I try to make things happen through goodwill and through maintaining a positive atmosphere (even though my bluntness often has the opposite effect) rather than by displaying aggressiveness and by playing office politics and power games... However, I am not sure everybody find the type of conversations you mentioned as fascinating as you do (I'm not the best, socially, even though I like people -- in controlled doses, of course, since I am an introvert). But I would definitely enjoy having analytical/logical breakdown convos with you, for sure (especially that I don't get to have the often enough). It would have to be online or something, since we live on different continents (assuming you're in the US).
Thanks for calling me awesome 😏😁 Also I wanted to state that when you said that INTP's aren't just automatically the most, Or one of the most intelligent personalities just by nature, but the ones that happen to be extremely intelligent on top of being INTP you would struggle to find someone to match wits with them..
I agree about how they help others calmly break down logic. I notice for those that consciously interact using value-driven functions, the INTP can help them discover bias and the like.
I'm an intp and to be honest you pretty much nailed it on the head , it is very tiring being an intp , I'm constantly analysing everything around me , I have a so called 'IQ of 128 " dont I believe I'm smarter than anyone , but I do see failings in almost everything and everyone, and what's more frustrating is they wont take advice and most of the time they just get pissed off , it's as if I can predict the outcomes of situations before they've even happened ??
the spiral of different hypothetical situations is a personal fave. bc depending on who the person is, the different the perspective. and then the different perspective is the lovely new loophole needed.
I really needed to hear it, last days I thought how difficult is it to be an INTP, and you helped me to remember about my advantages instead of the negative traits
I know I’m late, but I’m an INTP and this video really stroked my ego for one thing. You very accurately described the INTP’s relationship with their cognitive functions and how these functions affect the way the INTP works. A lot of times, it’s difficult to understand how the cognitive functions of each personality apply, but you definitely nailed it in this video, especially the INTP’s Fe function. I’m sure even the INTP often struggles to understand their own inferior function (as most types would). I know I personally have to make an extra effort in order to tend to the emotional needs of others (and, lets be honest, myself). Rather than naturally responding to emotions, I have to actively analyze people and understand how I can emotionally support them. Having little emotional maturity myself, I find it very fascinating to try to understand how I can change my own behaviors to account for others’ emotions. I think it’s this respect for others’ emotions, and the attempt at creating a solution that prioritizes the feelings of others that shows in the INTP’s Fe function. It’s something that the INTP should be mindful of and make an effort to account for. It may not come naturally to us, but when an INTP can figure out how to adjust their own way of thinking to account for their fellow human’s feelings, they may find a brand new world in which their connections with others aids their inner analyzing. And though it may be difficult for me many times, I find it very fascinating to study how people respond emotionally and be mindful of how I interact with others in regards to these emotions.
INTP here. I have learned to simply say happy Monday, happy Tuesday etc. when someone forces themselves onto me by saying good morning or hello or something trivial like that. They nearly always repeat my happy Monday, happy Tuesday and somehow believe that I’m OK with them interrupting my stream of thoughts, then they believe I’m social or socialized or domesticated and let me return to my thinking before I lose track of.... .......damn !
