6 Clear Signs You're a True INTP (Most Intelligent Personality Type)

[@mindscopechannel]

Whats Your Personality Type?

[@proudbox5091]

INTP

[@fovarberma752]

I thought I was INTP, but then I saw that sentence at 2:12 and it got me to doubt, re-evaluate my assessment, which is inherent INTP behavior, which led me back to believing I am an INTP for now. Edit: Also, six is simply wrong. S(i) makes us VERY vulnerable to routine, and keeps us in our comfort zone.

INTP 🙂

[@sylviaowega3839]

Now that is absolutely true about the fact that us INTP’s don’t share information, or open up about personal information for the reason that we are so reserved (like the INTJ’s), ie afraid of being judged. I hardly ever open up to people I know it’s a waste of time and that people just will not get me. Also, I do know that if I do choose to open open, people will be intimidated by my level of intensity.

[@mindscopechannel]

This makes a lot of sense based on what I've read about INTP's

[@1_out_of_10_dentists]

My personality type in INTP. I tend to be very open and not fear judgement even though I am almost certain that I will not be understood. I experience the same regarding intimidating people by being too intense for their liking. Honestly, I don’t know how to not be intent. It’s in the core of my being. Maybe some day I’ll meet someone who ‘gets’ me. Hopefully you’ll find people that get and appreciate you and your intense nature!

[@theralph2247]

@Leopold Well, I do understand what you're saying, I think it's because I'm INTP. My conclusion to the fact that no one understands us, except for ourselves. I also do not fear the judgment of others, I truly couldn't care less (as long as they don't call me stupid or dumb, etc). It's really annoying that no one will understand us; I could try to tell people how I feel about certain things, but usually I don't even try to explain, because if I would explain they still wouldn't understand me, so it's a waste of energy. People wanna know our problems, we tell them our problems, people run away screaming because they don't get the complexity of our problems, especially emotional problems.

[@TheFirstRealChewy]

INTP here. I have no problem creating a process or routine, in fact I enjoy it... just as long as I dont have to follow it. Essentially, I'll create it for everyone else. If I have to follow it then I'll refine it until its as efficient and repeatable as possible, then automate it because its hard for me to do the same thing twice.

@@notallgarbage INTP-A here. I’m in a settled, long-term relationship. I would say that it is true until we meet someone we are satisfied meets our standards. At least, anecdotally, that has been the case with me. I’d call it “situationship” vs “relationship”: one is “good enough for right now” and the other has long legs and a rockin’ body.

[@davidhoogendijk6675]

I don’t recognise that. I am of the intp type and when I come across people I can connect with I do bond and form relationships for life.. well not life.. if I catch you lying (and I will if you do) about important stuff that’s the end of it too..

[@feliscorax]

@@davidhoogendijk6675 Yes, well, the “situationship” doesn’t apply to me, either. It’s more a way to describe how some other personality types might approach a relationship. I very much hold to your way of seeing things, too. Edit: But, just to be clear, I can see how for more turbulent types of INTP, this sort of situation might arise. The type does tend to be one of the more agreeable ones out there - at least in terms of keeping the social peace and harmony, just not in terms of flaws in arguments, evidence, etc. - so “just going along with the flow”, even if not quite an ideal relationship, seems to be a default possibility for some, I think, until they do happen to find someone worthy. I don’t know whether I’ve just been lucky in that regard, and you might have been yourself, so I would take all of this with a grain of salt because no theory encompasses all possibilities.

[@richerDiLefto]

I agree with this, but only to a point. It *entirely* depends on who I’m with. It’s not that I can’t bond well with someone, it’s just that I’m **really selective** about who. If I’m not feeling that connection with someone, they’re just a diversion to me regardless of how friendly I act and they think I am. In fact, I’m actually *repelled* from getting closer, but that may have more to do with my attachment issues than my personality type.

[@missy567ful]

I've never related so much to a point he mentioned about how INTPs don't care about titles. We can be who we are at the bottom of the totem pole as well as the top. That's awfully true.

[@Lightflames85]

Well thats only true as long as we are respected. While we generally dont care what others think we do care when it effects us. Things like wage and respect does effect us even if we try not to be affected by it.

[@dragoandfriends]

Agree, and as you climb a corporate ladder, you were doing more management type stuff, which is not so interesting to me. When I worked at a corporate agency, I loved my job as a low title and didn’t want to be a boss because in my lower position, I worked on so many differentprojects and such a great variety, there were always challenges when the bosses would request different types of things and I had to figure out how to make them happen

[@NoxyNova]

Sometimes i feel like im not actual an INTP. But then i remember that both times ive taken the test(once last year and once again this year) I've gotten INTP with pretty much the same results. The main reason I ten to think I'm not into is because of the feeling part. I am actually very good at reading people I'm close with emotions, I am sensitive but to stubborn to act upon my feelings. So I tend to go for my logic even though I am feeling a certain way. I DO open up, it's just that I only do it with my closest friends since it feels weird and uncomfy to do it with anyone else. I think emotions are healthy, but do think that people need to stop relying on it too much. And I'm not the perfect lie detector. Yet I keep getting INTP. So I guess I am one. And I am proud to be one, I just dont felly conform with the whole emotionless robots part.

[@deussalt4479]

One of the things they missed around the 6:00 mark and it's not often mentioned by us is the 3 reason. We're often exceptionally good liars ourselves. We know most of the INs and Outs of lying and emotional manipulation. Because we don't relate to those same emotions as much as others. Lying often comes as easily as telling the truth. Though personally I find the most difficult part of being an INTP-A is being aware of exactly how unfeeling I really am yet feeling it all at once he same time. It's a weird parallel where while I know I should feel bad that you dog got ran over and I think puppies are amazingly adorable I also don't give a fly fuck because it's not MY dog. I don't hate your dog and I would do anything I can do protect anything living that's innocent. But I don't FEEL IT. being INTP-A is really weird.

[@RithikaV]

I felt this in my gut. I'm also sometimes bothered by how unbothered I am with other people's problems and sometimes feelings. Also I can tell a lie with no hesitation for good or for bad. And I have the ability to guess how others are feeling or just know what they are thinking sometimes it's really weird 😂.

[@feliscorax]

@@richerDiLefto I look at it slightly differently: I do feel, but the problem is that the rational part of my brain is so dominant, I’m constantly analysing those feelings then dismissing any that don’t seem to make sense. The emotions are there, but they’re held at arm’s length, so to speak. On those rare occasions where I let my guard down, I have a tendency to be overly sentimental or saccharine to the point of self-inflicted diabetes… Watching a film, say, where a favourite character dies (Hedwig does it for me every single time). It’s weird, I know, but that’s just how I flow…

[@Cocoluv560]

literally me, but I'm more emotional since I probably have inattentive ADHD and due to my mother's genes and upbringing, but it's almost exclusively on the introspective level, since I don't show my emotions to most people except my closest friends - I have a poker face for the majority of time. But my empathy, analytical skills and psychological knowledge / experience allows me to get a better understanding of other people (most of whom function on simpler levels anyway), and actually is and will be very useful in my career and personal life. I am very empathetic actually and only want the best for everyone, but being misunderstood and hated has really taken it's toll, along with all the downsides of having untreated ADHD and all it's follow-up disorders. Being incompatible with "normal" society and deeply analyzing my own psyche and personality, as well as being fed up with the pointless struggle actually inspired me to pursue my ambitious dreams on my own NOW without waiting, regardless of what others' might think about me, how my status in society will be for this intense period of time, the poverty, the risks (that I consider absolutely worth the possible outcomes), how I won't have a piece of paper that says I am actually a MASTER at my craft (I do have my Bachelor degree soon, though) and how hard I will have to work to achieve my goals. Also my method to achieve this goal is beyond all societal conventions and standards (not even the most supportive parents would consider it worth their full support and trust), but this method is what I have determined to be the most efficient, fast and healthy (mentally and physically) way for me to achieve it. Actual capability, genuineness, knowledge and experience is worth more than any diploma or title with "status", and reaching the level I want to would take extensive wasted time, energy and money to obtain. I will reach my goals or die trying, all or nothing at all - that's my extreme way of thinking. If you're THE PERSON in the room or the boss, noone but people who don't matter will care what your academical title is.

Depends on the routine. For example we like to make our own routine, not go with the generic day to day life routine of most humans. We find the routine that works for us, not this fine I'll work a 9-5 ad get up at 7am have coffee, and toast, rush out the door to a job we don't like, complain about life, and pay bills, yadda yadda.

[@ItApproaches]

A reason we don't open up to many is cause many can't understand us or what we say or don't want to. We get called names and insulted and "Oh you think you're so smart!" It's like no I don't "think I am" I literally am, I am correcting your error and you get mad at me for it, and as the masses or stupid, it's frankly not really logical to us to intentionally open up to people when we already know exactly how the situation will play out. We wait and observe, if someone comes to US and has a genuine interest in what we have to say as a logical person THEN we know okay this person isn't going to snap at me for pointing out all the problems they missed and showing them the truth.

[@The3ddfan]

There's some nuance here. There's a problem with saying we don't like emotions. What we don't like is for emotions to take the lead. After all, emotions have their own logic. Finding the meeting point between science and art is more worthwhile than discounting either. It's also too broad to say we don't like routine. What we like is a framework in which we have freedom. If the framework is too loose, we get sidetracked and don't get anywhere, which leads to frustration. If it's too tight, we lose control and end up having to follow authorities even when we disagree.

With regard to detecting inconsistencies, I think I may spend too much time doing this, especially when reading. Many years ago I worked in a university Mathematics Department in a clerical capacity, preparing papers for submission to journals. Let me stress that I know nothing beyond multiplication and division, and these papers sometimes contained multi-level equations that were more than a page long. While keying in one of these massive equations over and over, I noticed there was one instance where it appeared that a segment was missing. I pointed it out to the author who henceforth considered me some sort of mathematical genius. He didn’t understand that I had no idea what the equation meant. Just pattern recognition, man. 😂

There's a limited amount of things in it, and nothing new to find. I've grown bored of that stuff, so every day my routine is I'm alone for like 20 hours in my room, I eat the same stuff which isn't much cause I'm picky and yet eat really basic things, and I spend time being what an outsider would call "lazy and wasting my life doing nothing" lol.

The part about routine was very interesting. I have also found that as long as I am the one to set the routine I don't mind it because I do it the way I do it for VERY specific reasons not just because "this is how I do it". Once I find something that work it frees my mind up to think about solving the next problem or task. I have what I call the mental tornado. So many thoughts swirling around all the time and rarely am I am to grab onto one long enough to complete it and move on to the next. Setting certain routines frees up those mental resources allowing me more mental time to attack the tornado.

It sounds very similar compared to INFP. Maybe these labels aren’t a good reference after all !

[@mindscopechannel]

They are definitely similar

I always questioned my teachers, I just never challenged them. I knew that they were stupid and so I just kept that to myself because I didn't want to get in trouble or waste the effort. Sheldon Cooper's mom once said, "it's alright to be the smartest person in the room but you do have to keep pointing it out... Because people don't like it."

You, by default, need to be naive at least once for you to be knowledgeable in a specific aspect so it's perfectly fine

I am very much a free spirit that dislike when others try to tell me what to do.

[@90klh]

Im an INTP, and im one thru and thru -introverted to a fault, facts have always just been idk, vaguely important points proven by others, that can be looked up later, unless i can use it to strike out into a new way of doing things - and dates are things i write down because other people require me to, but i never know what day it is. Plans are just yesterdays ideas for a great itinerary, today requires a NEW one!! Lol

[@shiroi1111]

Only an INTP would see a ton load of videos to make sure for who knows how many times that they're INTPs. As I'm doing now. Still every single one of what's mentioned is true in my case.

[@MrTrashcan1]

As usual with these types of videos, there is a mixture of true and false information, and it's because first, it just copies the information from other videos and sources, and second, because it is not focused on the cognitive functions, which drive and define the personality. Myers-Briggs letters mean little in that, for example, high N is intuitive, but Ne functions opposite to Ni, so just being called an intuitive means very little. In particular, the sensing function is overlooked, and that is the key to distinguishing INTPs from other types, as well as disproving many of the claims mentioned. I'll just point out the false information. INTPs are not innovators. They are not originators. They are analyzers--they take what already exists and use it or analyze it. Hence they are improvers, fixers, tweakers, perfecters. Those are their strengths. Of the famous people mentioned, neither Einstein nor Lincoln were INTPs--haven't analyzed Jefferson and Socrates, yet, but my guess is unlikely. INTPs are seldom famous. And seldom leaders. The most intelligent type? Debatable. I would say that xNTJs can readily absorb information much faster and more easily than INTPs and being more proactive, are more visible and will appear more intelligent. I don't see not opening up as from being misunderstood. INTPs are clear communicators, especially in writing, although may stumble on words in person (Si trait). INTPs don't open up because they think that others won't be interested or will reject their ideas (most others are Ni, which comes off as narrow-minded). And disliking confrontation (Si) they simply won't bother--just too much trouble. INTPs are not scared of emotions. They feel them strongly and understand them. I know when I'm angry, upset, nostalgic, sad, etc. There's just no place for them in making decisions. This is why the world is so screwed up. INTPs are lie detectors. False. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of the functions, and confusion between "perception" and "analysis." INTPs will analyze ideas and find flaws and inconsistencies. This is slow and deliberate. A function of Ti and Ne. Perception is instantaneous and driven by Se, which is not in the INTP's cognitive function stack. INTPs have weak perception of the external environment; their perception is inwardly focused, Si. So an INTP may meet someone and later think about the conversation and eventually come to the conclusion that the person was lying (analysis) but would be unlikely to perceive him as a liar on the spot. INTPs avoid routine. False. It's actually the opposite. While INTPs are not afraid of trying new or different things (Ne), their child Si is what governs routine, and they will develop systems or methods to keep their lives predictable. Si is comfort, safety, security, also responsible for perfection and detail in their projects, also things like classification and categorization. Self-control, self-awareness, self-consciousness (why they are physically awkward). Not spontaneous, not free spirits--that is all Se. Along these lines, the person growing up constantly asking why, challenging adults for an answer--this is not an INTP. Again, the INTP is inhibited in such behavior by Si. INTPs are truly shy. These actions are a function of Se--interpersonal confrontation. Most of the people I knew who acted like this were ISTPs. The lack of understanding of the sensing function as well as the other misconceptions is why most people who think they are INTPs are actually INTJs or ISTPs. You aren't an INTP based on a very flawed personality test, then claim that all INTPs are different and you are unique among them. Your cognitive functions define your behavior which is essentially your personality. So yes, people of the same personality type should behave similarly. Otherwise the classification of personality is meaningless.

“Le sens commun n’est pas si commun (Common sense is not so common)” #Voltaire 1764 Hey Mr. T, I have no problem with these misinforming videos my problem is with the majority of viewers who believe they’re intelligently superior without any critical thinking skill. Those (easily triggered easily manipulated) individuals are incapable of learning even if they watch basic educational content created by academics. *C#. BACKGROUND (a peek at the wizard behind the curtain)* • I’m a 34 years old with no higher education. • English is my 2nd language. (+Arabic & French) • I’m a classically-trained pianist since I was 7. • An A student from 1st grade till I graduated with a degree in advanced science. • I’m fully aware that my opinions & feelings are NOT irrefutable facts. [Public education] *D#. MY TRAITS vs YOUR TYPES* Your language aptitude energized me to research this subject more just to engage with you, -I didn’t even watch this video- I’m sceptical by default so reviewing this problematic classification from the [against it] perspective made my thought process a literal mess. The savage criticism by Psychologists are distractingly hilarious, I was analysing & giggling & trying to remain objective... however I’m curiously driven. “So yes, people of the same personality type should behave similarly” I disagree, unless by behave similarly you mean (React) to certain triggers in specific circumstances within one range of emotions. Linking 16 personality types to behavioral aspects is like linking the 12 astrological signs to astronomical alignments. When we subconsciously believe there’s a pattern in randomness, our minds proactively let us find patterns. It’s hard for logic to prevail over emotions. In general we behave based on our own cognitive biases whether we’re aware or not. Noticed almost all commenters who are claiming to have this one specific personality “TYPE” has the charisma of a beige wall ;X *E#. GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGED* The mental stimulation of writing this reply is a therapeutic exercise for me personally. Whether I’m right or wrong that’s not the point the most valuable takeaway is getting my groove back for a moment & engage with you. Thank you so much for writing this post & my apologies in case this is not refined intelligibly as I hoped.

Hi. Well tested InTp here. Guess what I have discovered about Isaac Newtons heliocentric orbiting solar system model and gravity. Newtonian laws of force and motion when applied to the angular velocity of a rotating spherical body, when crossed by an implied gravitational force that pulls toward the center mass of the body produces a force vector graph that shows angular velocity at a 90* right angle to gravity unopposed at the poles that changes incrementally at each latitude from 90* unopposed to directly opposed at the equator of the spherical body. The only place where both forces could find balance. Newtonian laws of force and motion predict that if Earth were a spinning sphere with gravity pulling towards its center of mass all unrestricted water on its surface would necessarily have to follow the vector angles produced to the equator and then upward to the point where gravity's fixed and angular velocities increasing forces were equal, but since angular velocity increases with radius it will overtake gravity at some point and propel the water out in a disk and off of the Earth. Now tell me again about gravity and our spinning globe planet with polar seas. Please? Both the laws of physics force and motion and observational evidence easily prove the Earth, whatever it's overall and unknown size and shape, cannot be a rotating ball spiraling through an also impossible vacuum.

[@shreyasarker]

My other INTP friend could relate to all of these... But I can't. I feel emotions and I can't detect lies always... Can I still be an INTP?

[@mindscopechannel]

I'd say so. I've found that in most cases people won't relate to everything within a type however that type is still the one that they're most closely aligned with

[@Idk_Gacha__]

I can’t detect lies either But i struggle heavily with emotions I have them, obviously, but it’s hard

Well not all INTPs are going to be the exact same. I'm pretty good at spotting the inconsistencies in people's stories. I can catch lies and fakeness rather quickly.

[@bodwewadmi1]

In my situation, I feel emotions, I just don't know that they're emotions right away, or I don't know what to do with them, how to express them, or how to understand them. But, they are there. Also, I see holes and inconsistencies in people all of the time (lies) when Im the observer, but for some reason I don't realize when I'm the target and that the inconsistencies I was noticing were bullets for me. Thanks for the comment! Have fun on your self discovery as an INTP

[@arteorialindt]

🚨Wait wait wait wait... Calling all INTPs here we need to discuss something real quick.🚨 Being intuitive means we favour open ideas over immutable facts right? And thinking refers to our belief that if something isn't logical it isn't acceptable. But... those two concepts are in conflict with each other because if something is factual it has to adhere to a certain level of logic (because something can't be considered factual if no one logically understands it) which means pure logic is fact and fact is logic therefore there can't be any logic without fact so preferring wondrous ideas over chained fact is illogical... Does that mean we aren't logicians?? Don't worry even I had trouble understanding what I was thinking

[@ryanz486]

I use to always be ISTJ when doing the test in the past and now come up as INTP, although I'm not even remotely intelligent to fit that aspect. 1 - 5 I can relate to a good amount, #6 however the Taurus in me kinda overtakes things. I'm fairly comfortable with routine lol.
