Is this kind of like getting mad at your roommate for cleaning and drying the laundry but they didn't fold any of it and now everything's wrinkled rather than still dirty and unwrinkled?

[@tiredironrepair]

@@Claego Well, we don't usually worry about wrinkled clothing, have you seen how Intp's dress? lol I would say it's like helping them to clean up at work so they can leave early but not sweeping the floors well enough before mopping and now I have to stay longer to redo it because the boss will be there tomorrow. Something like that

[@Poodle_Gun]

The fact that we don't appreciate our own service, others don't, our personalities aren't seen as desirable, we're doormats, we're empathetic, stuck in our way, and need an external push to function: actually accurate. For the first time I've ever seen a video about us.

[@ryankrammes8245]

Interesting, I am kinda on the opposite side of INTP, but as an INTP 5w6 581 I too identify strongly with this description. I imagine there is a natural bias to latch on to the parts we identify with and minimize the parts we don't.

[@ohmynester]

I wasn’t expecting this thorough description of my personality. I’d recently went through a troubling break up during the holidays. Using the pain and embarrassment to motivate me forward. Taking time to better myself and grow out my shell.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

This is scarily accurate for me.

[@tcggggg]

I definitely fall into these categories but I grew up in an environment that didnt allow much space for me to blossom into a nerd like person, but I look back and take it as a blessing because I’m good at presenting myself to others while also having a reliable engine in my head to solve “nerd” problems…

[@tombeast1786]

I’ve wondered and contemplated how stereotypical of an INTP I have developed into. I’ve reached the point of acceptance of myself and others and just general life, which I’m still completely uncertain of how common that may be so if it should be a direct factor in the intp characterization of myself specifically.

[@Claego]

It's a unique struggle being an INTP. My goals and human connection is the hardest thing to achieve but at 31 I've finally started to get it.

[@ainzaida477]

I am 3 yrs more to that age, will i be like u too at 31😢 somehow i am worried bout myself😂 haha somehow

[@Xull41st]

From my understanding, I am an INTP. The only philosophy that has been effective in my life is stoicism. Also, a little out of high school, my father kicked me out of the house. This is the moment i am most thankful for without it. I would have been a recluse playing videos all day. I have never found it hard to hurt others' feelings if it was the truth though.

[@ryankrammes8245]

I think Stoicism falls short in some of the more intillectual roles of philosophy but I find it to be the most powerful set of tools to function day to day.

[@EgoHackers]

Stoicism a good lesson to learn for crusaders

[@exnihilonihilfit6316]

[@Fiedzia]

"Social settings cause them stress as they are afraid of making others feel bad" Nope. I don't care about making other feel bad (that's not my intention), but it's impossible to pay close attention to many people at once, that's overwhelming,and causes stress.

[@ihatehumans487]

[@feliscorax]

You might actually lean INTJ.

[@eliyahukuperman9250]

Honestly as an intp (I think?) all that I think about during social settings is "oh man this is so boring" "small talk is such a useless thing" "I'd much rather discuss deeper topics or just do anything better with my time" and then there's also the judgement like he said

[@ljamest2112]

One of the better breakdowns I've seen

[@yuka_shin]

Wow this is one of the most accurate descriptions of an INTP type I've seen so far, I especially like the part about inferior Fe because (some) people tend to have a lot of misconceptions about this function being uncaring towards others feelings which isn't the case.

[@fsycb]

[@Explodivebunz2648]

Man, i think about 92% of this was spot on! Excellent description! Most people don't understand the balancing act we are living in by being so knowledgeable and creative problem solvers but trying to be humble about it and not to look like a "know it all",,, but the passion we have for the truth is unwaivering and we don't care if it hurts your feelings because we believe the truth is the only thing that matters....

[@SpiKSpaN-ei6zq]

Boy that was accurate as hell. 😮😮👍👍

[@Poodle_Gun]

The Ni critic thing, maybe in combo with The guilt. Yesterday I just realized that everytime someone does me a favor and I don't do it myself, I feel like I have to return the favor with interest. Nobody else thinks this way. If everyone thought this way, no one would get anywhere. It is a huge part of my philosophy that I only now questioned today.

[@KazeVersa]

I'm an INTP and it's cool and somewhat scary that I can relate to most of this.

[@Pengalen]

I know this Hero, Parent, etc thing is a thing in some typology circles, but given that functions don't actually order themselves in that way (based on tests that measure the 8 functions independently) I'm fairly unsure of the validity of that construct. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is not very valid at all. Being an INTP seems to actually just mean that your top function is Ti, and of your extraverted perceiving functions, Ne is higher than Se.

[@EgoHackers]

INTPs are infamous for equating laziness with pragmatism. The know it all attitude is an INTP killer. Maturity is knowing that there is a universe to be explored, more information to be heard and learned, and human nature is more than logic. We are a triune nature of mind, emotion, and will. 😁

[@cyberneticbutterfly8506]

Nonon you don't need to have *ACCURATE* or *GOOD* logic to be an INTP, you just need to have the *INCLINATION* towards it. My own observation of JP is that he tends to see his own deep knowledge about subject matter and all the connections in his memories drawing parallels as evidence of those connections existing in the real world, e.g. common concepts in religion and mythology and psychology. These connections once drawn is then followed up with sound logic *if they were real connections* but he doesn't spot that it's connections in his own mind he is finding. The more learned a person the more susceptible they are to delusion almost like with sects. Which is why sect leaders have some similarities to intelligent people that lead others to see them as authoritative.
