DIsapointed yo !

[WALKYRIA]

LOL, I'm kind of disapointed in MBTI... I really imagined MBTI to be something more than what it if. I gave it too much credit.
See I've been travelling around on the internet trying to meet, see INTPs... And the funny thing is that they are as normal as you can get. OKay, they might subjectively feel or think of them different but hey... they come off as normal people with few peculiarities.

I've met some people with truely different vibng energies... and that doesnt seem to correlate with mbtiness.

I think what I was actually looking for that distinguished me from others wa not perosnality type.. but sensitivity.. I'm a highly sensitive dude and that's the main discirminator..notMBTI.

I've been cheking fbook forums of INTP and all... and they stike me as fairly normal people. You couldnt believe they were INTP or some thing like that... I'm dissaponted, I hoped to see beautiful, succesful, radiant, people... but really they are a bunch of normal people it seem sometimes pathetic or sometime trying to " appear special or different" but besides that nothing else... ; no special trend. No one I could see myself idntify with.

Now that I come to think of it, I must know plenty of possible INTPs... and not even realizing. What I don't meet as much is HSP... maybe.

So yes I'm dissapointed, hoped to meet likeminded genius like people ready to change the world... but really MBTI didnt do much for me it seems.

lol die instead

look at the ESFJs forums maybe there you have more luck

fbook intps?

Lel.

Remember, the personality type does not define the individuals, it merely groups them by identifying common traits etc. etc.

Some intps may just be normal office pen-pushers with a stable family.
Others may be hermits shoplifting their food and preaching the teachings of Plato on street corners.

Advice-wise, stop searching for intps.
Rather search for interesting humans, regardless of their personality type, they are still interesting and thus prone to productive socializations.

Even the mightiest emperor has to shit.
Chances are, most people you meet, regardless of what they do or who they are, will be a normal person at first glance.
We are all human after all.

What did you expect.

If you are as awesome as you claim and you used a random internet theory to find "abnormal" friends then you probably got what you signed up for.

Wtf are you looking for in people anyway, abnormal people are easily found on psychiatric wards.

If I knew you there is a very high chance you would strike me as normal as well.

We are human yo! Find interesting people wherever, it takes time and research not a random internet theory yo!

If you find the village of "likeminded genius like people" please let me know.

 

[Helvete]

LOL forget ppl, they're normal and shit.

What about Jesus Christ, who ingeniously preached Christianity?

This beautiful, successful, radiant person can be your light and holy guardian. Forget your disappointment found in people and invest in religion, in God, your savior.

 

[peoplesuck]

may have better luck with schizoid forums. mbti is as weird as it gets without mental "disorders"

I guess that's a great advice... But methought that great and interesting people( we all have our wons definition but anyway..) were automatically( or atleast in majority)... INtuitives... or perhaps NPs.
That's what I thought and I believe many MBTI adpets believe it... I guess I'm going to stop searching for likeminded people but instead search for interesting people or atleast people we share the same interests with( thus interesting people? lol). Less frustrating.

Chances are, most people you meet, regardless of what they do or who they are, will be a normal person at first glance.

This rings true, I would never in my life imagined that people who come off as normal could be somehow that interesting.. I always associated odd or weird or eccentric as great/interesting... We never think of the private vs public persona of people( our bosses, our wives/husbands(= because most of time we only see their public persona sadly), our teachers,...Etc

For me, it's important to show something ODD or abnormal to the world... That's my way to aknowledge to other likeminded people that I'm there, they can count on me, they can trust me...

Don't want to sound too pseudoscientific.... but but how can we explain that some people radiate such great energies and vibes compared to others? That some people have so much more attraction than other?..Etc
I thought that was correlated with personnality types anyway... but maybe not, or not entirely. Or MBTI is just NOT The right way to tipify people.
I mean let's admit, we all have archetypes in our minds... we all have an idea of an INTJ in our mind... Crazy thing is when it contradicts with the reality of people who test INTJ. Crazyyyy !
ANyway the only interest I wanted to get out of MBTI was that... Being able to FAST-discriminate( and the fast is important because you don't want to waste your time getting to know everyone, you want to have an intuitive feel of how is X and y or get patterns out of the behaviour) who was going to become X or Y( girlfriend, friend, ennemy, co-worker,. associate.. .Etc)

If I knew you there is a very high chance you would strike me as normal as well.

NO fukin way.
I beg to differ.
This is actually where things differ...
OH, let me guess... could it actually be because I'm 5w4 and the Enneagram is actually what I should look for? This might be possible since INTP and enneagram don't completely agree one with the other. INTP 9s and INTP 5w4s.
So if you had to see me the first thing you'll probbaly think is ...WOW, this guy is "???" or if you are emore litterate and love to put words on impressions... this guy is " crazy", "odd", "charismatic?"... is it maybe because 5w4 strive to BE DIFFERENT for the sake of being different( or in a less derogatory way... "ORIGINAL") ? Dunno...
It's crazy because although I'm an official introvert I somehow love to fucking STAND the shit OUT in your face... calmly and all, but I'll do

look at the ESFJs forums maybe there you have more luck

What do you mean? that ESFJ can be outstanding also? really? Dunno..

If you find the village of "likeminded genius like people" please let me know.

Do you mean that I'll never find that magical lake? shit... all this struggling for not finding my precious( astral friends? astral lovers? astral family?). Should I resort to just accepting everyone the way they are and then die? Nooo way.

We are human yo! Find interesting people wherever, it takes time and research not a random internet theory yo!

No I'm not human.. better die than be human.
WHat's the point of being INTP if in the end you are still a stupid human being? What's the excitement for? I call it posing and actually my critics goes towards those people who claim to be and to shar personnalituy with genuis( Einstein,Plato,..Etc)... and yet still be losers.
So why are you even INTP for fi you cannot reach you goals being that way, just change than !!!? Why not trying to become ESFJ and being fullfilled /happy with the love of your family?
I'm mad when I see this "personnality- achievement" discrepency... like people who claim to "be like Einstein" but clearly are like light-years away from him... What's the point of being a loser forever? WHynot just become an ENTP jester instead if you can't handle the pain of being INTP....ENTP are so much more happy really.

LIke one example...( wannabe) INTPs on facebook with pathetic and bazillion selfies with duckfaces all over the face, looking like losers, with no apparent bending towards the art, no sense of refinement... I mean maybe I see the wrong type of INTPs but Idon't particularly feel proud seeing these modles of INTPness... I mean you don't even smell an ounce of INTP flavour in them AT ALL. THE FACK !
( ANother explanation would be that, like in everything,... the most succesful and best models just hide and prefer to stay under the radar... don't even join INTP).

I hate discrepancies and incongruity co...

Wtf are you looking for in people anyway, abnormal people are easily found on psychiatric wards.

Funny that you guys talk about psychiatry, I love psychiatry.. going to become psychiatrist anyway.( so I guess I'm biased towards crazy people, that's my peeps ! I respect them fellas!).
Anyway, another thing is not every outstanding person is crazy or psychiatric patient... really not.

 

[The Gopher]

Try meeting INFP's. If for no other reason it would be hilarious.

 

[WALKYRIA]

sorry I'm bit drunk... There is no editor anymore... so unable to fix my misspelings.
Try to understand my rambling if you can.

( ANother explanation would be that, like in everything,... the most succesful and best models just hide and prefer to stay under the radar... don't even join INTP**).

I meant facebook**

 

[WALKYRIA]

Try meeting INFP's. If for no other reason it would be hilarious.

Curiously I know plenty of officially typed INFPs( few suspected INTJs) , but no single INTP...
I attract them through my Fe and enneagram 4 wing... Basically I attract many socially weakelings it seem.

The thing with INFP is that they are really nice, and a bit crazy/off(nothing major) ,and have those unrealistic dreams but still they are very obvious... . In a relationship, I see myself as their big bros mostly... I understand them, they are simple. But they cannot even begin to understand me. SO yeah, they are nice and all...

 

[Rook]

I have not viewed anything on facebook for...maybe a year now.

My absence shall continue unabated.

 

[WALKYRIA]

You did a great choice.. Although fbook can actually help stay in tune with old friends/coworkers/colaborators.( IN THEORY !)

But one thing is ... why do certain INTPs post facebook pictures of selfies in a bathroom? Isnt that per definition incompatible with the INTP personnality?
Why? It's so shameful for other INTP...

 

[Analyzer]

The thing is MBTI is very generalized. You'll see a variety of INTP's based on environmental conditioning and it's effects, as well as other typologies like ones with different Enneagrams. Even here on this forum this is pretty evident. It can be tricky to type people or expect people with similar types to act similarly. Seeing people as purposefully acting individuals is still the most fair and rational approach as a starting point I believe.

For me typology is the most advanced tool for trying to understand humans in the collective sense, that I have yet encountered. Every other collective labeling or "stereotyping" including race, ethnicity, culture and tribes(nations) is rather superficial, often inaccurate, and fall flat in comparison to typology. There's always more to learn and integrate in order to develop an even better understanding.

 

[Esurient Fere]

Hmm, You do realise that INTP's are frequently mis-typed right? Also you're talking about a group of introverts. (which I get the distinct impression you aren't) What did you expect? Personally, and there are exceptions, I purposely project an unassuming image around people I don't know. Why should I waste my time with them? Most people are disappointing. Trite may it be but still waters run deep.
You also seem to have a very loose grasp on MBTI. You can't just decide to be a different type. You can develop yourself but fundamental nature is self explanatory. Not that I really know much myself.
This is also a very simple way of viewing people. You're completely neglecting cultural pressures, childhood development, or most forms of nurture.

 

[Jennywocky]

... I guess I'm going to stop searching for likeminded people but instead search for interesting people or atleast people we share the same interests with( thus interesting people? lol). Less frustrating.

What, search for people you find interesting and share some interests in common with, rather than basing expectations on MBTI type?

(Seriously, I suspect this might work out for you better. People are people, type's just type.)
