Simple confirmation that you are an INTP

An INTP moment would be now. I just joined, clicked this thread, and skipped most of the posts

I fucking hate grammar nazis. if u know what the person meant WHY do you bother correcting them....UGH.

How's this?

I've been looking at lots of MBTI stuff for the past few days, and the INTP profiles all ring true with me. Sometimes humorously so. So I came here, found much similarity to my own personality, and registered.

And yet, I somehow almost psyched myself out of making this post because it's possible I made a terrible mistake and don't actually belong here.

Luckily I realized what I was doing, took that as yet another confirmation, and hit Post.

This. It's what kills me in english. Every essay I write the marker replies with 'too brief on your points, more detail required'

+1

Also one day a girl from my class came to me and told me this really funny joke and started laughing. I just stared at her like some kind of fish and walked away. Now she hates me.

In high school walking up to the board in high school physics and correcting the teachers diagram concerning mirrors and light.
In econ class I would get the work done so fast that the teacher would then give me the govt class hw so I would finish at the same time as him.
In chemistry class correcting the molecules that the teacher put up.
Also in high school nominated for class slacker, class complainer, head in the clouds, and most likely to be president...INTP traits

My INTJ friend and I contemplate how unrealistic alien invasion movies are bc if they have warp drive, or wormhole creation technology, they would not launch a landing invasion. at simplist they would release an engineered virus to wipe us out then come to take our resources.

At the start of The Green Latern it states that that this person is in the northwest quadrant sector X. It eeked me because space has 3 dimensions while northwest is only 2.

This.

Also, I was seriously contemplating killing my calculus teacher in college. EVERY time she would write a natural logarithm on the board she would call it a log. Same with normal logs. GRRRRRRRR.

Also I am a head in the cloud person. For example I was waiting in line at the store the other day and I happened to look up at the ceiling and within 30 seconds I had a wire-frame design of the ceiling in my head (with approximate dimensions and patterns they used for the placement of lights/security cameras) I had to stop myself from doing the whole store because it was my turn in line.

When I am at work I get bored. I did close to the same thing I did at the store but I went much more in-depth with force-distribution on the support beams. One time I spent 5 minutes analyzing the geometry of the nuclear symbol.

I am lazy/messy/disorganized/a procrastinator, I lose myself in Animes regularly, and I am very introverted. I'd rather spend an afternoon playing video games with my one or 2 buddies I normally play with than going to a party.

But the INTP-defining moment... or rather agonizing semester would have to be the natural log thing.

I do that with essays. I tried just elaborating on random topics but apparently, it does not tie into my original points. I am taking AP Lit...anyone have that formula lying around? I will either be too brief, or I will have a few points and the rest of the words are fluff. What exactly is non-fluff?

Hm, a largely retroactive confirmation if anything, but desiring to read in the playground rather than actually hanging out with people, and doing so without regard to anyone around me. (I did this for years, before finding a group of people who I felt comfortable with). To this day I am still an expert in totally shutting out the world around me to focus on something.

I've imagined going into a nearby city, putting on makeup to make myself look dirty, and panhandling because getting a job takes too much time and I don't really need much money to survive as I live with my parents. I also look down on homeless people who bring their children out to panhandle with them because I think they do it to get extra money (I also believe that parents shouldn't expose their children to the harshness of the world at such an early age).

I was on a plane today and two strangers sitting next to me were having a conversation. After five minutes of listening to their conversation and mentally putting my two cents into it I decided I wanted to actually join. I start to say something but get a huge rush of nerves and end up letting out a squeak instead. Then I realized I didn't even care about what they were saying and tuned them out. Sometimes I wish I was more socially capable though.

Also does anyone else find that they analyse everything they say in a conversation and then criticise themselves about it until they decide to never talk again?

You live with your parents and want to become a bum for the extra money, yet look down on truly homeless people who are out to get extra money?

I've had a few moments like that, just end up saying I don't really care that much to get involved, or the opportunity passes.
