It seems to be the general problem of finding people on the internet. First where to look for them? Second is this person INTP? Third are they female?

While the first step seems simple it may actually be the most difficult to calibrate since it's the first one to be taken and the first one to result in faulty feedback.

Second step, it is very rarely the case to have certainty regarding type generalisations and typing, so INTP in most cases is the beholders consensus, or often enough, both the user's and community's acceptance of their persona.

Thirdly, this step probably requires more personalised, therefore unit by unit, interaction to achieve, which makes the whole searching for INTP female tedious and much like browsing old archive catalogues and gasping for breath in all the dust and stale air.

Maybe refine your search engine or ignore the problem due to lack of ideal solution?

I'd actually give aspergers XSTJ people the highest chance of finding INTP females...:storks:
But why would they look for them:cat::phear::cat:?

pretty much this:
Maybe gender doesn't matter, and you should just be you.

i dont see why there should be an intp description exclusive to females? i think the (gender neutral) ones i found online and in books were good enough...idk if im misunderstanding what this thread is about

it's very hard for me to be friends with overly sensitive people
i just noticed three days ago that i have 68 unread messages on whatsapp(i swear i dont do this on purpose), but anyway, with the way i suddenly get those alone-time phases(withdraw from most social media websites, switch off my phone and therefore not reply to messages or calls, travel on a whim and not showup at hangouts)...sensitive people are 2 weak 4 me

We're out there just don't advertise the INTP bit. My dad was an INTP as is my younger sister. But having said that there is no guarantee that 2 INTP's will produce an INTP child. Neither of my 2 kids are INTP (but their father wasn't). I think there aren't a lot of INTP females as what makes us INTP's are not generally female traits. I've read that INTP females are rare and believe it as I haven't met many in the past. My sister worked with an INTP at her last job and he spotted her right off the bat. He told her she was INTP and she replied of course she was. I tend to think more INTP's are aware of their personality type (% wise) than some other types as it is in our nature to question and want to know things not only about ourselves but the world around us. I'll have to look for that report on INTP women. Don't think I need psychiatric help and certainly have never has a problem "getting laid". Typical male solution to women they don't understand. Think sex will cure everything. Surprise guys..we like it just as much as you just hard trying to find the ones who know what they are doing. Too many guys watch porn and think that is what most women want. I think most INTP women are not interested in putting up with male insecurities. We don't want to be dominated by a man, but neither do we want to dominate one. Look around you and see how few relationships are close to 50-50. In most cases you can always pick the dominant partner.

Oh yeah, I was looking for this study to post it here but couldn't find it, thanks for posting.
tbh though, nothing revelationary in there. It is pretty obvious that a woman who has the cognitive functions or framework of an intp would not fulfill society's expectations
same goes for intp males but to a lesser degree I guess...in contrast with esfj women and entj men who are probably more encouraged to be who they are.

If you happen to be a reasonably attractive intp, infp or infj [ . . . ] In exchange for producing my prodigious offspring, I will provide for you and ensure that you have the first three needs on Maslow's hierarchy.


I didn't notice this post before, so I am jumping on the bandwagon. This post does nothing but demonstrate that you need a brush up on NPs to know they will find it largely "dirty" to sellout their offspring in exchange for security. If you want a dutiful womb in exchange for you providing for (read: controlling) their basic needs, might I suggest the SJs?

Yeah, that's the one. Reading it again, I see the value in the approach they took in organizing the information. Back when I read it the first few times, I might have been mentally exhausted after being exposed to the wild, irrational, attack-mode world of the MRA.

(Which I avoid now. I have learned that there are people who will refuse to find common ground... a foreign concept to me.)

Many of the descriptors are words i would not have used for myself and people who know me would not use for me--but strangers would and have. Also, I did very poorly in school. I was neither an achiever nor a steady producer of decent work. My grades wildly fluctuated, though standardized tests suggested I was super smart. I got a lot of abuse for that. And because I privately cared deeply about education and future "greatness!", my parents' hateful response that I was lazy and defiant and would amount to nothing and then prevented from having any hobbies to help restore the imbalance in my mind ("You think you deserve rewards!?") did my head in.

I tried looking on online for some information about INTP females but havent had much luck. Once i found out i was a INTP by taking the personality hacker test ive kind of been obsessed with personalities and trying to find out the most information. Its sad though because it seems alot sources about MBTI personalities ive read online generalized some personalities too much making them sound very similar, if almost not the same because those little details can make a big difference. but anyways im curious about my fellow INTP females . Where you at? :confused:

btw im a INTP female

In a small province in China called Xian Dong, INTP females are hunted and executed. The Chinese government has classified this category of human as excessively dangerous to the status quo. Their dissenting nature and aversion to reproduction make them valueless resource sucking vultures. The INTP female's ability for critically thinking outside the box is repulsive and unattractive.

Considering all this, why would any self respecting female openly identify as INTP?

Is this some kind of vietnam ptsd therapy?

I wonder what direction this thread will take.
Since it's clear by now that INTP women don't like to bake.

It depends on what we're baking.

Baba Yaga? That admirable motherly aura of hers and I didn't understand why they used her to scare children.

Apparently built a hut on a single chicken leg. Maybe this earned her the envy?
This is one respectable innovator right there. Should be taught at physics at school.

I think Baba and the Gingerbread Witch were second cousins.

Baba did have that remarkable chicken-leg hut + the flying mortar. I guess that would have been terrifying to the Russian children, but American kids don't even know what a mortar is.

I've seen and spoke to 1whole female INTP in the World, before this post.

I messed up and got kinda giddy and made a fool out of myself, LOL, you guys are rare!
(so uncool of me:facepalm:)

Have you considered setting up a female INTP group online or something? Only advice I can suggest really. Chances of you bumping into one randomly, is low.

Goodluck with that, any way :)

Hi - another INTP female here. I don't visit often; just when I'm pondering INTP-ness, which doesn't occur very often nowadays. This evening it's brought on because today, I learned I'll be hosting an INTP relative this summer. (He's finishing his college freshman year.) My thoughts and, yes, feelings, are a'spinning in memories and hopes ... Mainly hope I can help provide him an INTP-supportive summer.

And reading this thread, I learned INTJ females are even more rare?! Ah, so my INTJ sister has bested me in yet another way..! It's all good of course :-o

INFJ males, the most rare?! My (current) hubby, whom I find difficult to peg, I think is INFP but is suspiciously structured about many things including timeliness.... dunno, will let that continue to be a mystery. Structured in some ways, curiously indefinite in others.

I learned about being INTP in my 30's, someone (an intern maybe?) visiting me at work recommended "Please Understand Me" when I was talking about how I had (have) a hard time fitting in, wondering if I'd made a poor career choice. (The answer turned out to be yes, but ultimately, I learned to (1) become more J-like at work, and (2) locate attorney jobs more suitable for me than others.)

It's taken me many years to reach a good continuum of happiness. I wish for all other INTP females that it takes them less time.

I have been searching high and low for a suitable intp female to procreate with and unleash my prodigious offspring, but alas, they are nowhere to be found.

If you happen to be a reasonably attractive intp, infp or infj under the age of 32 then poke me and we can engage in a suitable socially acceptable form of the human mating ritual with the aim of procreating and unleashing my prodigious offspring into the world! In exchange for producing my prodigious offspring, I will provide for you and ensure that you have the first three needs on Maslow's hierarchy.

Hubba hubba. Wow. Hmm ... How about a counter offer? How much cash in exchange for a few of my stem cells, then you can contract with a womb-provider and baby-raiser of your choice. Unless that's an illegal contract, seems like a reasonably attractive way to accomplish the essential purported purpose.
