I love how everyone in the thread started to discuss the soul just like the velociraptors.

It's INTP bait. Irresistable.

Bacon. Epic!

You could add bacon, ranch dressing, and/or cheese to gravel from your driveway and it would be edible. Heil BACON!

Yeah ENTPs definitely earn the title lawyer types.

They appear to take a special delight in bamboozling others.

They are always fun to debate with. (I can't remember losing to one, though.)

 

[Anna Moss]

My family is mostly NTP. We were so good at debating technicalities that my SJ mom used to exclaim in frustration, "It's like living in a family of lawyers!"

@Dr. Freeman

I would kick your ass...polemically and with some propriety of course.

Perhaps you have amnesia for the defeat, though, because your ego couldn't handle it.

It's weird because someone clearly isn't going to argue that they got their shit kicked in. This is really taking on a scatological tone. Anyway, people err towards confirmation bias when looking back. It's one of those collective idiosyncrasies that render humans super great. Or is it grate?

Spoiler

Without propriety! *reconsiders* OK, with propriety.

I only say this because I have had a fair degree of experience with debate while on a debate team and while in MUN. I've run into people of all sorts, and for the one year I was on these teams, I was undefeated. (In debate, anyway. I always placed in MUN. The whole 'team building' aspect wasn't quite a fun as the other parts.) I regret waiting until my senior year to try them, but they do give me some insight on how successful I am in live debate.

I'm getting pretty close to the release of the INTP book, but it's also sapping a bunch of my free time. As a result, for about the next two weeks or I'm going to be sporadic on Island Types. But, I will do simpler (less time intensive) strips to fill the gap.

The INTP's View of the World

The Rarest Type

The Rarest Type

@Anna Moss

I'd imagine INTJ is the rarest type for women and INFJ is the rarest type for men.

Who can be sure? INFJ might be the rarest type overall though.

This site, for instance, supports the opening conjecture. One of two hundred males (0.5%), in essence, is INFJ and the same (a priori?) ratio applies to female INTJ.

http://www.celebritytypes.com/infj.php

Edit: I liked the ironic flavor in the INFJ "rarest type" cartoon.

It seems that INFJs are rended by countervailing forces - ego and modesty.

 

[Anna Moss]

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure what the rarest type is. The percentages are so close, and when you at the misidentification rates, and the problems with identifying types, and dealing with people who sit on the line...well, it knocks the certainty out of you.
I don't agree with most of the identifications on that page though. >.>

To the Point

 

[Cognisant]

Can I make those and sell them?

 

[koan]

wow. These are awesome!
The stick figure bodies work briliantly. Great artwork, too. Haven't seen them all yet but the whodunnit one at the start is still my favourite so far.

 

[Anna Moss]

Can I make those and sell them?

If you give me the prototype when you're done with it.

Thanks Koan! I think the consensus so far is that Whodunit is the best one. Admittedly, my Rational need for continual improvement is bothered by the fact that I haven't topped it yet.

The server hosting my website is down for whatever reason. No comic today, unless it comes back to life in the next couple hours.

This is inexcusable, Anna.

I'm not sure how yet but I'll *shudders* try to *wipes nose* carry on without the comics.

 

[Proletar]

But the plot just became incredibly compelling.

It's not exactly malicious or typism but the deification or pedestaling of any type makes me slightly edgy.

You can find some first-rate and selfless ESFP people or really rotten INFJ folk with an unprejudiced eye.

Anyway, Anna, make some more cartoons with three types/characters - that provides an entertaining balance of psychological depth and artistic space. Do I have to use the magic word? Please.

Yeah, I don't think you can justifiably hero worship or villainize any type. But I've only done two INFJ comics so far; balance will take a larger sampling.

An angle I had not considered before. I shall give it some thought.

Ingrate

Heh, I'm always up for concrit. Oddly enough, if there was no criticism, I would worry that I was doing horribly and you guys just didn't have the heart to tell me.

ISTP vs. ESTP

 

[kvothe27]

My older brother is an ISTP and my younger brother is an ESTP. Your comic is that much more amusing because of its accuracy.

 

[Architect]

Hmm, I've known a lot of ISTP's (have one as a sibling too) and none of them were the broody type. That belongs to the ISFX - J or P variety. One famous example might be Woody Allen. Not sure if he's an ISTP, he could be, but he certainly is broody.

 

[kvothe27]

To clarify, I wasn't referring to the brooding part of the comic so much as how the ESTP comes across. I wouldn't say my ISTP brother broods so much as spends a great deal more time alone than my ESTP brother -- that is, when he's not surfing, snowboarding, fighting fires, flying helicopters, riding his motorcycle, etc.

 

[koan]

I'm not so broody, more 'in your face'

If I see it, I say it... then think I ought to regret it later but find out I have more friends than I thought though they won't admit it in public. People like me from a safe distance.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

ISTP vs. ESTP

Fwoosh


Those shades.. In my opinion, SeTi/NiTe are similar when it comes to stuff like that.

 

[Anna Moss]

Re the brooding--not necessarily a typical ISTP thing, but it seems like a lot of ISTP heroes come built in with an angsty past. It's almost a genre staple.

Those shades..

Yeah, it would fit both types.

I enjoy how women are the unthinking pawns in these cartoons - idiot and consolidated.

Of course, the ENTP swooping in for the kill is very much true to life.

Oh, the ENTP school stories I could tell...

"Your son could do good work, but he doesn't seem to be living up to his potential. Specifically, he lit my desk on fire causing an evacuation, stole 83 spoons from the cafeteria, and colored all the bricks on the wall in a checkerboard pattern just this week alone."

 

[Anna Moss]

Thx Ink & Kaisaki!

I think you had more fun in school than me. I wouldn't mind hearing those stories.

[MissQuote]

Not only due to my own experience as a student in school but as well I have two sons that are likely both INTP.

I remember some years ago when my older one was in sixth grade the class was reading The Outsiders together and at parent teacher conferences his teacher was telling me how he would like to see more engagement in class, how he had so much potential et cetera, and in particular pointed out how the rest of the class was halfway through the book already but my son never even had his book with him and just seemed to go back and forth between messing around with writing and doodling things, staring off into the distance and flicking stuff at other kids.

I turned to my son (already knowing what his answer was, but also knowing he wouldn't volunteer the information on his own) and asked him why he may be acting like that- his reply- not only had he finished the book shortly after it was assigned, he had gone on and read S.E. Hinton's entire body of work in the past few weeks because he found the writing style intriguing.

The look on the teachers face was priceless.

 

[Teohrn]

Ah yes. ;p

Potential

This one is great!

It's basically my whole life story: an eternal struggle against my inept, suppressant and inflexible environment. And apparently, I had potential; I can't say the same for my teachers.

Most of it is just frighteningly spot on. I am considering wearing a tin-foil hat from now on as my life is a private matter and not comic material.

 

[Ex-User (5841)]

I think you had more fun in school than me. I wouldn't mind hearing those stories.

I may start a thread on the matter. I know there are a lot of such stories in the "You know you're an INTP when..." thread though.

 

[Anna Moss]

I've read 'em.

Sorry this one is late; my sleep cycles are wonky.

The Type Ray 7

 

[Cognisant]

I can't help but wonder what they're locating females for, which I know sounds moronic but these are INTJs we're talking about, they reproduce asexually, so what are they up to, a honeytrap army?

That's more the kind of nefarious INTJ scheme I'd expect.

 

[scorpiomover]

Ah yes. ;p

Potential

I've decided that this one is a good contender to define what it means to be an INTP.

A Bene Gesserit breeding program of course, to make a more efficient INTJ.

Is such a thing even possible?
