Hmmm... I spied on an ENTP forum long ago. They were funny, It was actually an ENTP that lead me to MBTI. I should be grateful.

I don't know. Maybe being tactful. I don't come across many problems as an INTP.

Best things about being an INTP

Easily sees correlations and contradictions. It's not always as easy to see my own contradictions, though. I'm also enjoying my thirst for knowledge. I like the idea that I can be wise/ intellectual some day. I'm always trying to "think better".

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

I've had problems lately with social groups... Lately I have felt there to be something wrong with me because I do not and cannot interact the same as everyone else... I was on the verge of getting professional help and probably still will. I have a book that i took (gasp) from a roommate when we shared a dorm room a long time ago...it was the myer briggs "Please Understand Me" part II ...I became obsessed with the book and tried to figure myself out as well as everyone else around me... haven't met anyone with the INTP personality type such as myself.

I googled it after reading up on social phobia...

What is your name?
Really? Sorry, too much. You guys can call me Muddy, if you want. It goes with my ID and it's suitable in more ways than one. For example, I'm more than just a little cloudy these days.

Where are you from?
Keep it Simple - California

How old are you?
36- but please do not hold me to that expectation, either way.

What's your gender?
female

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
My boss asked me to take the MBTI a couple of weeks ago.

How did you find out about this forum?
I googled ya.

Do you have a partner/lover?
No. I have a husband.

Do you have any kids?
Yep.

Do you have any pets?
A dog and three cats.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Right now, personality type research, listening to a variety of music, Fallout 3, personal growth, relationships (personal and more), spiritual concepts and practice, and life in general. Library visits - they just aren't open as many hours as they could be, and if only I could smoke in there! I told my son the other day that as much as I'd like the luxary of smoking in there, I'd hate to destroy the books! It took me about a minute or so to realize what I'd said. I'm glad he has a good sense of humor.

Hardest thing about being INTP?
Accepting it, or rather embracing it. I've been "wrong" for so long, it's hard to be right. God, that sounds pathetic, but it is what it is. Oh, and the pressure to be funny as described by the "profile". Have low expectations people, I haven't been that light hearted in years. I get the sense that people are usually laughing at me, not with me; and I'm usually getting pissed at them or hating me. Maybe it will all change. What am I saying? Of course it will all change, either that or wash, rinse, and repeat...okay, rambling. Looking forward to meeting you guys.

There was a link to it on typelogic, I think.

I have a unique perspective, I think, and that lets me see things that some people don't.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

A coworker introduced this typing system to the whole team about 6 years ago (no longer work there.) Took the test as INTP and have come back to the concept a few times since with the same results every time.

How did you find out about this forum?

I stumbled onto intjforum and typed in intpforum et voilá.

Do you have a partner/lover?

Not currently.

Do you have any kids?

no


Do you have any pets?

2 cats.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Well I have an insatiable curiosity for all sorts of things... economics, politics, science, geography (travel). I've off and on been into auto racing. I love hiking and biking, as well as music and movies.

Hardest thing about being INTP?
Oh definitely the isolation. People find it very difficult to relate to me and vice versa. I very often feel like the alien in the room.

Best things about being an INTP

I like that I am able to think things through logically, and see the big picture. I think we have a special skill that the world needs to move forward. We can identify problems and possibilities faster than most people. Also we love information and can actually figure out how it fits together.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

Strangely enough, I can't remember precisely. I do remember first learning about MBTI years ago from a councilor I knew. I find it likely that she administered the test for me. Another possibility is that I took the test online somewhere.

How did you find out about this forum?

I learned about this forum via google, whilst looking for interesting bits of information about the INTP personality type.

Hehe, No.

I really don't know. One possibility is that I've taken numerous tests and I've gotten the same result each time. The description of it fits me, I guess, save for some quirks here and there.
How did you find out about this forum?

I took a quiz and it referred me to a site that described my personality type, and at the bottom there were links to visit.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

i randomly picked out this book at the library called the art of speedreading people. was very interested. tested as an enfp. believed it was plausible that i was an enfp. ignored mbti for a while and went on believing i was an enfp. eventually got interested in the subject more seriously and realized i definitely was not an enfp

was part of an intp mailing list. realized that forums were a lot cooler than mailing lists. searched google.

What's your sex?

Masculine.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

I always knew I was, just didn't knew how to call it before. The definition came to me from a friend who introduced me a variant of the original test. The test result made me start researching more on the subject. For my surprise all tests gave me the same result. Surprise because I don't believe in INTP existence (by definition). But this is for another post :)

How did you find out about this forum?

The mail list. Someone wrote something about forums and... *ding* ..."why I'm not looking for a forum ?"


Do you have a partner/lover?

Not sure about that. I think I have someone... The problem is - besides the fact of me being... me - I'm very 'mobile' so, is hard for someone to keep up... I think...

Do you have any kids?

No that I know of... :D

Do you have any pets?

Krypto is dead :(

Which hobbies absorb you the most?

hmm... comics (just reading), movies (just watching), hacking (just learning), music (just listening) and trying to figure it out who (or what) am I.

How old are you?

36

What gender are you?

Male

How did you find out that you were an INTP?

My father (who also is an INTP) introduced MBTI to me when I was in college. After absorbing the shock and dismay of discovering that my dad and I were the same personality type, I forgot about Myers-Briggs for over a decade. Then, a couple of years ago, I read an online article about personality types, and I decided to re-take MBTI. Lo and behold, I tested as an INTP again!

How did you find out about this forum?

A link that was provided by an MBTI website

Do you have a partner/lover?

Yes, she is an ESTJ, believe it or not. We both complement and clash with one another.

Do you have any kids?

No. Babies aren't exactly intellectually stimulating. Plus, having a little one would totally deplete my already-sparse alone time.

Do you have any pets?

Two cats, Plato & Buckley, who are brothers.

Which hobbies do you absorb the most?

Reading, writing, politics, bodybuilding, Miami Dolphins football, tennis, napping, social commentary, and theorizing.

How do you generate an income?

I'm a civil litigation attorney.

Hardest thing about being an INTP:

Finding people who actually connect with my ideas and theories. Unfortunately, I only talk to my father once a week. As Agent Intellect described it, too often my words fall on deaf ears. Having to feign interest in small talk for professional or social reasons is also a drag.

Best thing about being an INTP:

Non-INTP's may not completely understand you, but they do respect your intelligence, and often seek advice from you. I now realize that INTP's see the "big picture" when so many others dwell on insignificant details.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?

I took an online test (okay, fine, I took -five- online tests so I could compare...) to find which type I was after reading something about it on livejournal.

How did you find out about this forum?

Through typelogic.com

Reading, definitely. That, and painting and drawing makes me forget time completely;
after several hours I usually still feel like I just started...

How do you generate an income?

Well, right now I'm working part-time at a florist's, which is sometimes nice, when I get to make decorations and stuff, but not so nice when it comes to all the customers and the cleaning (dirt gets absolutely everywhere).

i would presume as naberus is a Beast you are Male, and your avatar looks proud and chauvanistic, usually Male traits (sorry if any offence is caused)

How can an eagle appear "chauavinistic?" Also, are women incapable of pride? Finally, isn't loveofreason, a confirmed female, represented by a dragon?

females tend to be more tasteful (something i admire MORE than pride). and it just does
look chauvanistic, i get bad vibes

Dragons to me represent Power, not Pride

...and i said take no offence, just showing my logic

No. Babies aren't exactly intellectually stimulating. Plus, having a little one would totally deplete my already-sparse alone time.

Interesting point of view. We'll have to do a children/procreating thread sometime.

Hmmm . . . pride and tastefulness do not seem to be incompatible traits. Regarding female sensibilities, after seeing countless young women where I live
wearing skin-tight tops that expose their fat bellies, cussing like sailors, and getting expelled from school for fighting, I wonder how much "taste" they actually possess.

I'm also curious about how INTP's handle marriage and children. Any insights from the parents in this website?

I'm pretty sure those women don't reside here in the INTP forum.

I've been lurking around these forums for a while now. I thought it might be time to actually post something.

What is your name?

Halfcat.

Where are you from?
Western Australia.

How old are you?
I'll be 20 in a couple of weeks.

What's your sex?
Female.

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
I took a couple of internet tests and after combining the results and a bit of research I decided that INTP was the best fit for me.

How did you find out about this forum?
I googled some pages with information on INTP and followed a link here.

Do you have a partner/lover?
No.

Do you have any kids?
No, but I would like some one day.

Do you have any pets?
I have a purebreed ragdoll cat called Lily, she seems to be INTP too.

Hardest things about being an INTP?
The lack of understanding from other types. Often I say things that are insightful or witty to me but just end up confusing people or causing one of those awkward silences until someone changes the subject. Over-thinking is also a problem because it tends to do more harm than good emotionally.

For me it also sucks because I find that I get along best with men and that women tend to dislike me from the get go. You would think that this wouldn't be too much of an issue but every guy I have EVER become close friends with has wanted something more than friendship. The friendship then tends to wilt and die after I tell them that I only ever saw them as a friend :(. This then leaves me with no close friends and a 'why bother' attitude.

Best things about being an INTP?
Regardless of the aforementioned negatives, I Like the way my brain works and that I see the world in a different way. I also like that I am not what people expect because the reactions I get never cease to amuse me. It can be lonely but, from what I have seen of the world, I think I prefer my own company anyway.

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
Listening to music, singing, people watching, reading, learning about obscure things of no consequence and playing computer games.

How do you generate an income?
I work part time as an admin assistant.

I'll be your friend! I'm an INTP, and therefor have no soul, so there's no way I could fall in love with you!

Hahahaha! I do have to say that this forum gives me a little faith in humanity, because I've finally managed to find people who are on the same wavelength as me :).

As far as I know, I have never met another INTP.

We're very enlightening, I assure you. We're also somewhere below 1% of the earth's population. Don't get too much faith; we're very rare. If you REALLY want to, you could branch out into robots(INTJ) and idealists(INFP), the latter of which I've found to be extremely similar to me in general, as much as another type could be. I recently realized why, as documented in the Ti vs Fi thread.

I couldn't lurk for long, I mean, these are my peeps!!!

What is your name?
Thomas

Where are you from?
Central Florida

How old are you?
27 soon - Weird Al's favorite number! I been waitin for this!!!

What's your sex?
Male

How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type?
Took the MBTI through the career center at my college and the results blew me away! Here was a printout describing every little thing about me, and finally solving the life-long mystery of why I was so different from everyone else.

How did you find out about this forum?
I didn't find this forum.
It found me.

Do you have a partner/lover?
Hah

Do you have any kids?
And this is why we're so rare, folks... WE DONT BREED

Do you have any pets?
A little gray cat I call Moonfang the Grayface.

Hardest things about being an INTP?
Emotionally crippled, very few opportunities to bounce ideas off people, having to pretend to care, radically overthinking things. Those stupid stretches of silence on the phone. Call, say what you have to say, and hang up!!!

Best things about being an INTP?
Is there anything we can't figure out? And we just have so much FUN!!! I feel bad for those people that say they have no imagination or artistic ability. Our brains are awesome

Which hobbies absorb you the most?
I like to read and write, BS around on the internet. I had to stop playing video games because they were taking over (seriously - I've missed so much work and school, and hardly ever saw my friends! And I didn't even really enjoy the game all that much, in fact it pissed me off more often than not!!! The game is Wacraft 3: Frozen Throne btw). I like developing systems, new ways of doing things. I practice with my performing arts group at college (an INTP on stage - WTF??!?)

How do you generate an income?
Worked for Wal-Mart for 3.5 years, but got let go in December. Just kinda squeakin by on unemployment now

Parody, do you think you might be an ENTP? You come across as that more than INTP (just basing it on the little you've posted so far), and a similar member also suspects he has made the same mistake.

Either way you're very welcome here!
