I got into MBTI when I was pretty young and always believed myself to be an INTP. As I wouldn't have been a fully developed person at that point haha, and worry that I was pigeonholing myself into a type that I idealized, I was hoping for the opinions of the All Wise INTPForum members. I'm just...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il5K-0DvUdI&feature=youtu.be Any and all feedback welcomed and appreciated. Rather unsure of my type after all these years of firmly believing/identifying as INTP.

I realize this is flaky because the characters are unrealistic, but if you had to guess, what would you? My thoughts: Charlie: ISFJ Mac: ESxP (I honestly can't decide if he's Ti or Fi. Almost seems to fluctuate episode to episode.) Dennis: ExTP (Not sure if Se or Ne. Could imagine either.)...

Realizing my post came off more negative and narrow-minded than I meant for it to. Sorry about that - I've been in a bit of a mood for the past couple days. I'm genuinely curious about real-life practicality in the long term. Anyway. Would you not agree, at the very least, that there are...

I've been pretty deeply invested in MBTI for about 3 years now (which all started in this very forum, mind you, although I've been over at /r/INTP ever since I've been using reddit). And, well, I'm beginning to question the overall healthiness and productivity of focusing on MBTI so much. At...

Okay, so maybe I didn't mean behaviour, per se. But I figure certain approaches/choices/tendencies are indicative of certain cognitive functions - which is what I had in mind when I said behaviour.

I actually haven't taken this one before! Essentially scored as IxTP. Haha. But, anyway, I was avoiding cognitive function tests and trying to type by...behaviour (which sounds redundant, sorry) because if I'm in a Ti-Ni loop as I suspect, my Se probably isn't obvious.

I'm seriously just wondering whether I'm INTP or ISTP. Since I'm having difficulty deciding, I thought I'd ask for input.

I've come to think that I might be an ISTP. Even though I've seen myself as an INTP for at least 3 years. Can't decide, though. Input would be appreciated. Reasons I suspect I'm ISTP: Looking back on my childhood, I seemed more ISTP than INTP. I was your typical tomboy: loved sports...

Haha. I was aiming for irony with the thread title! No sane person would deliberately piss Architect off :D

This thead took a colourful turn

Really, really fond of this guy lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9h3KUtaIc

I think INTPs are good mediators and consultants. We're the people that operate behind the curtains and help the bigwigs better suited to leading than us.

I've always been decent at writing and was often told in my childhood to become an author. The only problem is that I'm too neurotic (meaning I'll never be happy with what I write and will forever trash what I have or edit and re-edit^10) and don't believe I have anything worthwhile to put into...

Se. I really do like the idea of being able to be immersed in the here and now for a change. Being able to observe people. Having a mind for hands-on stuff.

Who would you consider some of the other few INTP comedians then, Architect? I've always thought Larry David was an INTP - introverted and neurotic describes him well haha. Louis CK, maybe. Steve Merchant.

Ah, FF. I've watched his videos for a couple years now. Couldn't be arsed to entertain typing the character, but the guy himself, from rants and 'real' videos I've seen... I'd say ENFP. Maybe ENTP.

An ISTP, an ISFP and an ESTJ. I get along with each of them in very different ways. But yeah, on reflection, 3 of my closest friends at the moment are S-doms...

INTPs with writing skill that aren't better than average are a rarity, I think. We express our thoughts succinctly unless Ne gets out of hand. Our vocabulary tends to be quite large. There's always a logical flow to whatever we write. Grammar doesn't seem to be something we ever struggle...

Military and accountant. I can't picture two less suitable jobs for an INTP. Congratulations on surviving. I'm not sure how much you should value advice from strangers on the internet, but if you're unhappy with your circumstances, you really should alter them. You're not going to wake up...

About 7-8 years ago I'd sometimes amuse myself by taking all sorts of online quizzes that would supposedly teach me about my personality. Which is probably odd, considering I must've been 11-12 at the time. Anyway, I distinctly remember the first time I ever took the MBTI test - I scored INTP...

I know a handful of INTPs. Used to be good friends with one but we drifted apart over the years. Either I find them amusing and it's refreshing to commiserate over our social abnormality, or I'm irritated by my own faults that I see in them, if that makes sense.

Ah, sorry. I was being facetious. As you said, special is polite for defective (I even hinted at this in my post).

Am suddenly very impressed with myself. In all seriousness, I don't know why. There are plenty of females when it comes to other thinking types , but it seems to be less common for INTPs. Although there are definitely some lurking around on the internet. Myself included. As the others said...

Especially in terrible situations. I think I might enjoy irony as much as sarcasm, and that's really saying something.

I've heard it a lot. Never really thought about. I guess people's expectations of you, if you're relatively smart, are that you should become a lawyer or doctor or something. Anything less is "wasted potential". As for my view of my own potential... I really don't know. That's the sort of...

As an INTP, and one who has often found myself dealing with some IxTPs' problems, we appreciate when you listen without trying to judge or force our hand. If we feel like talking, that is. Speaking the truth is usually a fair strategy. Call it as you see it. In a rut or not, as an IxTP he's...

A frequent problem of mine is that probing people for answers or ideas/using them as a soundboard for my own answers or ideas tends to be met with irritation. They'll think I'm being difficult, fickle, anal, etc. I'm always surprised when they get angry, as if it's a personal attack. To me...

I don't think that's the case at all. I've always had fairly well developed Si. It sometimes manifests itself unhealthily - as neuroses, for example - but it's there nonetheless. For Fe, maybe. I imagine that takes a long time to become better balanced.

Hm. He doesn't appear to have Ne to me, much less in the auxiliary. Although I suspect there's quite a bit of Fe. Here's a pretty raw interview if you need more material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAmzfwKhGQI @Brontosaurie I could see ISFJ as well, despite leaning towards him being...

You lot are more adept at typing than I am. Or so I believe. I've always been very curious about Martin Freeman's MBTI type. There's a vague thread on him at Personality Cafe, but nobody on there ever justifies their reasoning. Here's a video of Martin being all serious and intellectual...

I sometimes have quite the temper, yes. I'll either fully snap or go into some sort of static detachment. Drives SJs crazy when they're extremely angry and you stare back at them blankly. However, it drives me crazy when I lose my temper. It makes me feel infantile and moronic. So in the...

I've never seen Ne correlated with the past before. That completely defies my understanding of it. :confused:

If you lie down, you can disappear altogether. I want to do something worthwhile. Which makes me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo9pU1q8sy8

Haha. I don't disagree. xNTJs would definitely have all the discipline and organization skills needed. That won't discourage me yet, though. :D

Or, more specifically, memory palaces. An endlessly intriguing topic. Have any of you ever dabbled? This skill has INTP written all over it: something most would view as pointlessly theoretical and abstract, extremely logical, practically demands the re-construction of pre-existing systems...

Ah, likewise. Except I find Ne extremely easy to recognize. It's every other sensory function that stumps me. :confused:

It's usually easy to recognize a kindred soul and this guy doesn't really strike me as an INTP. I agree with ISTP. The Ti and Fe is there, but I don't see Ne. I don't know of any INTP youtubers off the top of my head... Lots of ENTPs and INFPs, but no INTPs. Can't imagine many of us being...

I don't despise feelings. I'm just very ineffective at using them for productive purposes--or expressing them at all, really. Not only do I see it as some sort of display of weakness (which reeks of psyche problems haha) but they make me very uncomfortable. All of which is a side effect of...

Substantial command over the left eyebrow. Haven't studies on this already been done? I mean, I'd assume. With micro-expressions being analyzed in depth and all that, I imagine someone would've theorized on eyebrow movement and its meaning.

ADD is more than inattention.

Sometimes I'm very empathetic. And I enjoy doing stuff. You know, hiking. Traveling. Playing sports with friends. (Not very INTPish.)

It seems as though you have similar problems to me. And honestly, what just about everyone that's posted has told you to do is by far the best answer. Go and do shit. Force yourself to do things that (hopefully only initially) make you uncomfortable - especially when it comes to social...

Haha. I know an ISTP that could probably be classified under all that you've said and is still very awkward. He's even admitted it.

First attempt: 39% ENTP 35% INTP 8% INTJ 6% INFP 5% ISTP I am definitely not an ENTP. Erm. Second attempt: 45% INTP 22% ISTP 10% INTJ 6% ENTP 4% INFP That's better. There were a couple questions that threw me off. I quite enjoyed the skip...

Yes, his standup is great. As is Merchant's. But I agree about An Idiot Abroad. There's only so many times you can send Karl round the world and laugh at how much he complains about everything before it gets a bit boring haha.

Are there any fans here? I imagine that this show is NT heaven. For me at least. I mean, I'm a bit obsessed. Basically, you have an ENTP (Ricky Gervais) and an INTP (Steve Merchant) prodding this absurd, oblivious, slightly aspergian man (who's also probably an INTP, unfortunately) and...

(Disclaimer: I've searched the forum about this/Fe and for some reason no threads appeared. Even though I highly doubt this hasn't been discussed before.) Anyway, developing Fe is essential to being a healthy, well balanced INTP. But how do you go about it? And out of curiosity, how does...

Ah, yeah. This is a serious issue in an SJ household. The more you dispute their supposedly well-reasoned rules, the less they'll be willing to change their views or even compromise. They will shelter the living hell out of you and then wonder why you're not as functional as they are or were...
