LOL. I would say you are more likely to find an INTP in a solo sport. I was reading somewhere that track and field or cross country is where INTPs were most successful. Other solo sports are similar in this regard.
One very probable INTP that was in a team sport(NBA) is Dikembe Mutombo...
I doubt the military is full of INTJs. Maybe in high ranks or something. For one they are rare and the military is a mostly SJ institution. Most military I have met were SJs, but sensors in general with intuitives scattered around usually as non infantry.
Who knows that if the "public" sector was never involved in space exploration, we could be further then we are now. All that money used was mis-allocated as it was focused on national interests such as cold war tactics.
Finally like you said private entities have the ability and desire to...
If not INTP, I would say ENTP. A more ENTP type comedian that comes to my mind is George Carlin. George's humor is more in your face socially centric(Ne/Fe), while an INTP like Larry is more indirect and subtle.
Larry David is the epitome of an INTP taking advantage of the concepts of nihilism, and creating famous work.
Nihilism concepts are nice to understand but don't really hold any weight in the objective reality. If someone is truly a nihilist, they would not be able to correct any objective...
Just wanted to say I agree with a lot of your ideas you have posted about careers/life/jobs. Independence, free from wage slavery and the likes is what i strive for as well. There must be some distinction between certain INTPs. I would say I am pretty into deep and complex things just not like...
Regarding "Formal" Education or receiving a university degree - I think a lot of things are changing currently and very quickly. Tertiary Si and Inferior Fe might make us believe that there are traditions about university and getting a degree that are important. University studies has only been...
I agree. There is nothing wrong with governance and I would say it is "natural". The respect for property rights is essential for freedom and has led to human progress. We should value it as well as promote/defend it. The problem is having a state(disregarding it's contradictory nature) it's...
I would say this is more idealistic then libertarianism. By studying traditions from a society and applying policy, asserts that you can understand it enough to come up with sensible policies or a well planned system from the outside. This goes back to what every state in the past has tried to...
Yes, I think Ti can be pretty intimidating so I try to not use it much around most people. I'ts not necessarily because my thoughts are "right", but it is once engaged in a concept or argument I wont usually drop it until it can be settled(usually it just expands due to Ne).
When giving off Ne...
When the word science is mentioned most people think of the natural sciences such as chemistry or physics. What about the "softer" sciences that study human beings as an actor? Is it justifiable or epistemologicaly viable, to employ the means of understanding to them in the same way we would to...
Yes that's it. From there you can expand it to a variety of activities and methodologies.
External things can be seen seen from an internal viewpoint. An example would be why you are choosing a certain methodology to study physics instead of the choosing upon the different accepted...
I view it from an epistemological Misean or Kantian point of view.
There are both. You could say a priori truth is a necessary truth, while a posteriori is subjective.
All bachelors are unmarried - a priori necessary truth. This is based on a tautology or logic.
The sun is in the center of...
Jobs and a salary are just means to an end. You choose to have a job and salary for some particular reason(save or consume). If you do not want to do a job then nobody is forcing you to keep it. Whenever I hear people talk about wage slaves or associated terms its pretty annoying. It basically...
Yeah the work of the majority of academia isn't really Ti-Ne-Si type of work, as your basically not dealing with theoretical inquiry but more on publishing research(publish or perish) which fits with more with the INTJ type. I guess what I was trying to say is the academic approach or at least...
Are the INTPs first three functions geared toward a more academic approach? When I say academic, I mean researching and coming up with ideas. This might explain why INTPs can be seen as more intellectual then other types.
I am not saying INTPs are natural professors or should work in academia...
If ISFPs excel at expression what about INFPs?
Otherwise I agree with your analysis. INTPs are the architects who excel at understanding spatial relationships. INTJs are the masterminds who excel at strategy. ENTPs are the visionaries who excel at inventing.
Ps are more closed minded internally while Js are more closed minded externally.
Of course it's more apparent to others when they make external judgments(Te/Fe) then internal judgments(Ti,Fi ). So Ps in general are seen as more open minded.
The cognitive functions of intuition, sensing, thinking, and feeling that Jung describes are fairly observable in different intensities in people. The conceept of introverstion and extroversion describes seems pretty accurate as well. This can be apparent as an individual who can chooses to...
e
Moreso then fiction. An INFP is more of the fiction writer. Ti is more about discerning logical implications then Fi which would be more value based. Both are internal subjective functions so they can blur.
Yeah that's what I was trying to say. Pure math is limitless in its concepts same...
I am mainly speaking about non-fiction writing, which INTPs would most likely gravitate too. Every type of study including computer science is theorized in writing.
Yes you have plenty of experience doing programming but I am just talking about the range being used as a skill, compared to...
Yes science I would say is very Te in general. It relys on systems or physical properties that are established, to be applied. A Ti person probably coined the term scientism.
I would say writing is the least limiting career/skill. Programming can be as well but you are still limited to the...
As an empirical science concerned with the physical and material reality, neuroscience research could still be limited in figuring out the problems of the mind. Social sciences which employ logical positivism can fall short as social actors(humans) are not like objects in the physical...
Good point. Maybe he is an INTJ that tries to act as INTP in public eye. INTJs are seen as "villains" a lot of tmes so that does make sense.
Also if you compare Gates to a quintessential INTP like Einstein or Darwin you can see a clear difference. Those figures are a lot more engaged in the...
Culture is one of the if not the only thing that people share similarities with as a group. Everything else is pretty much an illusion such as being an American.
