I've always scored INTP (and rarely INTJ), even the first time I took a test and had no idea what MBTI was. But I'm note sure. I don't feel smart enough or analytical enough to be an INTP. Any help to figure it out? You're all like experts here :P

Also, English is not my native language, so I'd rather not post any videos.

You don't have be exceptionally smart to be an INTP, thats mostly just the stereotype. You have to break it down to hierarchy of functions. For an INTP, it is in this order from most used (important) to least: Introverted thinking, extroverted intuition, introverted sensing, extraverted feeling. I can try explaining each one a little, but you might have better luck just doing a little research on each one. Introverted thinking means that you are have to think something out before you say it, you probably day dream a lot. Extroverted intuition basically allows you to recognize patterns and see multiple possibilities. introverted sensing is kind of confusing, but it seems to come down to remembering facts, and making connections with past experiences. Extroverted feeling means that other peoples emotions will affect you, and though rare, you will express your emotions rather than bottle them up. You might be able to recognize what someone else is feeling but chances are you wont care.

I dunno, I'm starting to think that you do. Well, not necessarily exceptional, but even an INTP with low intellectual potential will probably come closer to that potential than the next man will get to his. If you're a Ti dom, you don't stop thinking, even if you're not particularly good at it at first you're gonna get better.

Compare the average B-grade soccer player to the average person in the context of soccer. Continuous practice counts for a lot.

I can't speak for your intelligence, but if you're not analytically minded you might want to consider a different verdict. The typical INTP would do this anyway, so it's sort of a winwinwin.

I was typed as INTP then later INTJ, now I think I am more of a INTP given my life since childhood. I loved playing a lot with things and I am not hardcore intellectual, but still have it easy when trying to understand complicated things.
