Well I am not sure the exact number but if I were to statistically calculate it out, with knowing around 300 people, doesn't mean they are friends, but I do know them, there should be at least 3. I really can't account for which of them is what since I don't know any of them well enough. But out of my 120 some odd class of graduation I was the only xNTP I knew of. So out of the extra 180 some people in the grades above and below me that I associated with I think I know of one that was an INTP in a grade below me.

I think one of my childhood friends is an INTP. His dad likely is as well. But I think that's about it, INTPs appear to me very rare. That or I am no good at identifying them. I think I find Ni doms more interesting company anyway [no offence to those who identify with the INTP label]

Zero. Unless I have forgotten any from my past.

Currently - none. I have probably never met another INTP female.

I come across as ISFJ - boring, middle-aged, conservative. Very few people see the real lucy.

Currently, I know 1 INTP in real life. He is a friend of mine in math class. While the rest of the idiots act like...idiots, we ignore the teacher, have deep discussions on anything ranging from Flash programming to psychological manipulation during that time period. It is a pretty fun class. I still have an A in it somehow.

Other than my wife, whose test results I've seen, none. I wouldn't even try to hazard a guess as to anyone's type, even people I've known forever. I'm not clever enough to be assigning labels to other people. In fact, I tend to suck at reading people, and feel it's safer to just assume total unpredictability, particularly with anyone under the age of say, 25.

I didn't realize that a classmate from last semester's Calculus was likely INTP, until I thought about it after the semester's conclusion. Shame too, as we were becoming good friends.
Also, I ventured into a game-table store at a mall, in Orland Park (Chicago suburb). Demoed a game with a female at the store and realized it mid-game. It was too funny, though she had no idea what I was thinking about (I think?). Same exact manner of speech, we had.

...Now that I think of it, she did seem to be very curious about me when I was leaving the store. Asked for my name and even seemed to want to pry a bit more. I'd have to say, this was the first time I absolutely knew I had met another in person. It was really something.

This makes 2 then.

A parallel dimension of a thinker's creation
Yes... always the complex way... ironically, that always seems to be the one that INTPs understand.

Um... my dad might be an ISFP from how he interacts with people, but he's an engineer and REALLY, REALLY good at it, so he might be one. My brothers... the younger is NOT introverted. He's more of an ENTP. My mom is definitely not... the older brother, well, he's got to be INTJ.

Gee...I could think of a Science teacher who might be one, and that's probably the reason she's a Science teacher. I can't actually think of anyone in my own age group who is definitely an INTP. Kind of sad.

So that's maybe two, and still unsure. I'm going to make my dad take a MBTI today.
