I feel as though I have a couple really good talents, a couple really bad ones, and alot of average ones. I'm a good empathizer I think, but i'm really good at systemizing. I'm kind of creative... I think Im alright =)


also, I aint really so scared of beeing narccistic now. It's problably just traits of beeing narcistic that I sometimes have. I'm not really horrible :)


@ body-perception. I felt like my mind was closer to myself than my body. kinda feel abit weird sometimes, but it isnt so bad as it used to. But it still annoys me sometimes. Because I felt like my hands and legs were alittle off from my mind.


Hard to explain... but I sort of know what you mean i think

An INTP's potentially-narcissistic playing field would be introverted by default. Needing complete control over every object inside one's own head is not inherently destructive towards others. If, however, another person causes obsessive thoughts to spawn inside that own world and hurt the INTP, the INTP narcissist might seek revenge against the person to be able to justify what happened and cure the poison from the recurring thoughts. Regrets would probably be likely objects of despair and frustration.
This type, relative to other narcissists, can develop a sophisticated "real human" person, living at the same time as their disordered traits that occasionally surface. This is because they are constantly living inward and reflecting, though it may be painful. I think I am one of these, definitely to some degree.
If INTP isn't the most likely candidate for this, perhaps types such as ISTP and ISFJ could have similarities.

ENTJ, and ESTJ as a less-likely candidate would be the classic Te-dom narcissists, playing like "inside their head" is their outward immediate environment, where every object should be under control as much as possible. Any erratic behavior of the environment equates to reasonless surprise thoughts out of left field. For this reason, others denying them control over what they want to snatch (what they feel equate to "their thoughts of happiness") are their reasons for despair and frustration.
Classic NPD might be something like "backwards" or inside-out version of schizoid.
This narcissist rarely develops their "human" side far beyond its childhood level of maturity, because it is constantly making excuses and rationalizations, and ways to regain or convince itself it has the upper hand. "Reflecting" happens outwardly instead of inward...think of the whole "mirror" concept used for this

I would say that I'm not narcissistic and pretty confidently at that. I'm an eternal realist so a fantasy world where I am the center of the solar system can't exist. I do sometimes feel a superiority complex but only because of all the dummies surrounding me (I have good reason to think so) and I am very talented and smart and good-looking. Being good-looking has its downfall for an INTp, my social skills are lacking and I get attention from girls anyway, even though I'm not completely clueless I'm still never at their level socially. The expect me to be so things sometimes don't go as they should. That fact alone prevents me from being narcissistic because I'm always trying to get better with girls. I don't want to get to the point where I'm "big-headed" (little urban slang there)

I do not think I am narcissistic, but I seem to come across to others as if I am. I find it mildly amusing as half of the time, I consider myself to be only slightly superior in the area of intelligence, but I am beat in pretty much all others.

As for looks, I am decent looking, and I suspect some girls may be interested in me, but due to my past track record of attempting to use a Judging function (and failing miserably), I will avoid from giving a definite answer. Even if they were interested, I would come across like a dog that has caught the car with no idea what to do with it.

Women? I still have no idea how I think yet.

If you define narcissism as how many times you look at yourself in the mirror, then no, i'm not...if you define narcissism as believing you are better than most people you meet because they're neurotic, manipulative, conformist and dogmatic, then yes, I'm a world class narcissist.

We're entitled to be narcissistic because we know what it means (and frankly deserve the respect we give ourselves). Egotists are the real losers because they're self-centered without cause.

Re: Do INTPs tend to be more narcissistic?

1. Compared to who?

2. Absorbed in thoughts, but not necessarily narcissistic.

Threads merged because we already have several threads on INTPs and narcissism, and this one has been posted in recently...this may give some insight into your question. ;p

Arrogance is not the same thing as narcissism.
