INTP son, INTJ mother

[Rakshasa]

WThis is more or less an examining of the relationship between INTPs and INTJs. See if anyone else has similar Rl conversations with INTXs

Our relationship can be summed up with 2 storylets.
Earlier this week we were discussing my birthday cake, and she was freaking out because she did not have any sixes for a candle. Which of course was cause for a major jurry rigging test, after about a minute of discussing the factors of sixteen we settled on four squared. One proble , however my mom found the two too large. We melted it down, and not only was it small enough we had less stresson the toothpick holding it up. (This is where it gets fun) All this talk of the number six started a conversation about the number of the beast, and while my mind momentarily wandered to numerology we soon found ourselves discussing the nature of that number, and why it is seven is considered holy. We discussed 9 being holy, since it is the physical opposite (What she preferred), and the intiger -666 as holy. (What I perferred) After this she presented me with a word problem in math that was intended to fuck people up hardcore, which (Although she already knew the answer to) I solved in a matter of seconds, myself. (ego ego ego ego ego ego ego) Which had us talking about how much better we are than other people.

Our main sources of conflict, however, is the P/J axis. She has issues with my last minuteering, and interestin things that will never serve a practical purpose. I'll tell her something I find fascinating and she'll shrug it off like it's nothing. When I ask her why she says she'll never use it. She minorly obsessive and quick to anger. She's always in motion, always cleaning or studying for class, or doing something off the wall.

Is this a typical INTP INTJ relation ship? Do our positions of influence cause a major warp in the magnifying glass?

Thanks for taking the time to read.

That sounds like a beautiful relationship. Thanks for sharing that. But what was the math problem?

Yeah, that matches my experience with INTJs except I am usually the one who freaks out about nonsense and obsesses over things.

Three men stay at a hotel, in the same room. The room is thirty dollars and each man pays ten. The manager gives the bellhop five dollars and tells him to give each man one dollar back. So each man paid 10 - 1 = 9. 9 x 3 = 27. Add the 2 dollars the bellhop kept and you have 29. What happened to the remaining dollar?

That's the problem.

A difference in operations, it's logically flawed.

There was $35 in total.
$30 goes to the hotel
$3 goes to the men
$2 goes to the bellhop

Heh, sounds exactly like my INTJ friend and I. Laughing at the world, being egotistical. 8) Good times. As for the math problem, I had a laugh.
