This happened quite a while ago, I am an INTP and my cousin is an INTJ for reference, we happened to also be work colleagues. After an overnight shift where we worked, we decided to go to taco bell with two of our coworkers. After we had eaten, we started looking through MBTI comparison memes on tumbler. We stumbled across a notebook comparison photograph of an INTP and an INTJ. The INTP's was what you would expect it to be, a jumbled mess written in a way that the INTP could understand. The INTJ notebook looked uniform and sectioned incredibly neatly. My cousin decided to examine this photograph of the INTJ notebook to see what the notes were about. The following conversation ensued. INTJ: "I can't even read this, this has to be Calculus." INTP: "Hold on, let me see that." INTP: "It's in Russian." Our ENFJ/INFP coworkers just started laughing. To be fair, it was a notebook written in Russian about Calculus. We were both right.

[@prima2589]

Regarding INTJ's making seemingly ''premature decisions'' without regards to the other persons point of view here's my explanation. An INTJ behaves and analyzes according to a framework. With SE being their last function current events are merely an hindrance to the ''reality of the situation''. As paradoxical as it sounds. Let's say an INTJ breaks up with you ''all of a sudden'' without letting you know or trying to ''fix'' whatever area wasn't working or even giving you an opportunity to convince you to give it a try. It's because they don't want you to, they have anticipated so further down the relationship and assessed your level of compatibility in a way that explaining to you how in 3 to 4 months everything would fall apart due to ''X' and ''X'' behaviour would make them sound crazy although hating to admit that most of the time, well ''THEY WERE RIGHT''. This is done both for your and their sake of not losing time, energy and emotions in something that is doom to fail. NI is focused on long term possibilities, TE deconstruction and analysis, FI How this affects me emotionally and what I believe in, put those function together and you get an individual who is constantly living life in fast forward internally meanwhile appearing out of it externally due to inferior SE. In conclusion nothing about the INTJ is ''impulsive'' although to others it may appear so, they've actually weighed this out for a long time and often struggle to put an end to the relationship because we're believers at heart. Now imagine having to explain all of this to your partner. It's useless and most of the time you'll get the usual ''you're exaggerating, going too far etc'' so we learn from an early age to trust our understanding and avoid pouring energy into having our views invalidated due to the perceived ''unlikelihood'' or the incapacity of your interlocutor to project as far like we're some kind of fortune teller. I've been in relationship with an INTP and even he, being an intuitive, thought the NI process was perplexing I'd have to make a lot of effort to explain TE wise what came ''magically'' to me and he'd always question WHERE was the information taken from (typical TI dom). Also, good video, informational, opinionated and yet humorous.

[@CSJoseph]

While I cannot disagree with you what you are saying, this framework for decision making still leaves room for the INTJ to wrongfully jump to conclusions and make decisions too quickly on those aforementioned conclusions. If the INTJ cares not for the consequences of their actions, then third parties will judge them as selfish.

@@LogicalSuppository Wow I am fascinated by your story about the fight with the person who shouted, "Must you put every single problem under a microscope? Just let me fucking feel!" I can see why an INFP would say that, yet that must have been so difficult. I don't understand how an INTJ can last in any close relationship with someone who refuses to resolve issues or refuses to at least let the INTJ do their analytical thing. If someone says something like what you described to me in a fight, you know what my thoughts typically entail? "You are making me feel really negative things right now and I want to figure out how to make sure I never have to feel this way again." And I don't think they understand that mentality. INTJs have feelings as well, they just take a backseat to our future-oriented analytical thinking. There are things from 13 years ago that I still get angry thinking about, and I think oh if only I had been able to resolve them. I wish people understood that's what it does to us when we can't "fix" things.

She had very hard adolescence in dysfunctional family and it shaped her. It seems like her self-centered perception focused on creating and executing her plans, and immediately fixing all issues - is an escape from her own emotional suffering, and especially from emotional interactions/bonds with other people (which she block this way).

Wow! Thanks to your video I've realised why I can not fully let go of my very first relationship that ended SIX years ago - that's because I'm a hardcore INTJ and my ex boyfriend an INTP. We met in the government-sponsored fun/study camp for gifted kids. We never spoke a word to each other until a common friend asked him if he liked anyone around and he pointed at me, and that's how it started. When we got stuck on solving one math/physics problem or another, I'd come and tell him from which angle to tackle it from and he'd use the raw computational power I lacked to confirm the approach to be right. People literally had to catch me in the embrace to slow me down, and sometimes I would literally collapse on the ground if I could't MOVE towards something I absolutely HAD to get RIGHT now. His kindness and patience corrected it, as well as explanations i.e ''Let's dance naked on the window sill when people from outside can not see us"'. And I admired how he applied his ruthless intelligence and methodology to everything, including the ruthless methodology of bringing me to an orgasm :D What was really saddening for me is that he was so apathetic (?) that he couldn't dare to dream of anything. So I was constantly kicking his ass to raise his awareness of what he WANTED from life. Unfortunately for us, I knew what I wanted, and it was emigrating to New Zealand, and it broke both of our hearts when we had to part our ways. Now, 6 years later, I'm working as a structural engineer in Auckland and he is working in the science lab that researches DNA and cancer treatment. I have 160 wishes in my bucket list, with 80 ticked off already, and he is still unsure of what he wants to do after Masters/ Phd. I'm obsessed with optimising EVERY process in my life and being as rational and efficient as possible and he is still a kinder and better person than I am. Our relationship is long over but there's still a part of my soul (even though souls do not exist) that cares about him and wishes all the best things in life to him.

I had a friend who I think is INTJ, and I accidentally did something that could have been misconstrued as disloyal, although I didn't mean it, and I apologized and everything, but now they don't talk to me; my point is that you mentioned that they are paranoid about loyalty and we (INTP) are focused on how good we were to them and then we get pissed because they didn't recognize that. I don't think we are going to make amends to the friendship because we both are detached, regardless of how long we were friends. Interesting video and seems pretty accurate.

[@SJaye-zv9er]

@@arturkvieira Where did that come from? I think that the problem with us might be in your end. I mean, I get being ticked off by an INTJ. (Ti critic anyone?) But we're not all the same. I've known a few INTJs who were so frustrating that I wanted to kick them across the room. But I've also known a few who stopped to buy meals for homeless people. I've been in both groups. 🙂 But here's the thing. Attributing the characteristics of a few people to an entire group will never be valid. It's called bigotry.

Thank You so much for calling out the duality garbage! I have found myself in the position of informally giving people relationship advice.

[@AllieB-11.11]

SFJs jump to conclusions even more than NJs. I know 'cause both my parents are SFJs and they constantly ascribed negative motivations to me during my childhood when I was just trying to help. At least NJs are interested in psychology, are intuitive and generally more self-aware so there's some kind of room for self-growth as they mature. Try telling the typical SFJ they've jumped to a conclusion and see what happens - denial, indignation, rants, manipulations, counter-attacks, general controlling behaviour due to the Fe/Si or Si/Fe combination. Infact I've rarely met a healthy SFJ - even one who is elderly.

[@blindsoul7915]

Same with STJs. Quick and often inaccurate jump to conclusions because of intuitive subconscious. It is like they are slowly digging a pit of despair for themselves without knowing. Often need a Ne-parent to keep them in check. NJs have sensory issues, like HSP or Asperger's due to sensory subconscious. They can be helped by Se-parent, such as ISFP.

[@catinthepeng2686]

@@blindsoul7915 My parents are both ISJs, and I dealt with these issues growing up; them just jumping to random conclusions that had no basis in reality and me often getting hurt in the process, and also, not being able to use Ne properly because they were so fearful. Now though, as I've learned of my strong Ne and useless Fe (and it is pretty useless by itself), I have figured out ways to calm my ISJ parents and guide them to make better choices. But this takes FOREVER. GEEZ. They're lucky I care about them so much; otherwise, I'd just have left them to dust (but they also made sacrifices for me, and I'd feel guilty just leaving them like that).

[@exnihilonihilfit6316]

Not an INTP ... An INTP would say the logical and proper "I couldn't care less".

[@gordthor5351]

I am an INTPish INTJ and everything from my behavior to testing equally high in Ni, Ne, Ti and Te on cognitive tests verifies what seems more than obvious to me. From the first time I took the test and got INTJ and read the description, it seemed very fitting, until I read the INTP description. I read all type descriptions and there was no doubt what so ever, except a little doubt about whether I was in fact an INTP. After watching other types, I soon realized that personality typing is ultimately a continuum and not everyone will fit neatly into a certain "arbitrarily determined number of distinctions" (some systems use 9 types, 16 types, 5 types.....). For instance many type 5 Enneagram are INTP or INTJ (there is obvious overlap). 50% of INTJs are type 5 and 30% are type 1 (big difference). A type 1 INTJ will be more ENTJish and a type 5 will be more INTPish. All man made systems are arbitrary to make better sense of complex nature and personality typing is no different. Ultimately there are 7 billion personality types, but that level of distinction is far to great for any human mind to process and it is unnecessary to glean a basis understanding of general differences in common traits between people. I think 16 types (levels of distinction) is enough without getting too complicated), but for further distinction within types, we must notice the nuances and (intuitively) categorize the sub-types for better understanding. The most difficult thing for me is to put my big picture understandings into coherent words that accurately describe the depth in which I see things. In my mind I need no words, because I see everything in entire concepts and understand the complex whole without needing to break it down into details. It is a fruitless effort, because even if I try to properly explain anything in my long posts, I never run out of tangents which are relevant and connected to the big picture of what I am attempting to describe. I think INTPs and ENTPs are brilliant. I am a "jack of all trades", but I am amazed by the brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci (clearly an ENTP). That man was too smart for his own good (his ideas were so advanced that his era of technology and contemporaries couldn't allow them to come to fruition. I will debate anyone on a topic I am familiar with (I have great faith in my sound logic), but if I had to pick a formidable foe, it would be an ENTP like Lawrence Krauss. As an INTPish INTJ I would say that my greatest strength is finding holes in logic. Or more aptly, people using inconsistent logic. The bells and whistles go off. I am always interested in different perspectives and particularly the ENTP perspective, because they are as raw as people come (even more so than INTJs). If people try to hard to not offend people, then they must suppress the truth. ENTPs lack that sensor (or at least it seems to me) that tells them what not to say to spare feelings of others, albeit they can still come across less insulting than INTJs due to their delivery style.

[@chinaboytag1]

Well, then, maybe I'll just look for an ENTP! In all seriousness, I'm an INTJ/ISTJ and I've recently just gotten to the point that I don't care anymore about who I offend. I think it's all very stupid and people just need to get over themselves. If someone doesn't like it, it's generally not my problem, because I really don't think you should be emotionally invested in other people's arguments. I'll be very blunt with people at this point, because I believe that most of people's opinions on someone else's statements are deeply rooted in personal bias with very little to no logic behind them. So, that makes me kind of wonder if ENTJs have a similar perspective on the issue or if they would be more tactful.

This video actually helped with dealing with her as well making sure her needs are met because she’s very important to me. She makes me feel okay about the 10 paragraph text messages I send lol.

[@AllieB-11.11]

Well there are plenty of successful INTP and INFJ relationships as I can see from an FB group that I'm in. Maybe you just met immature INFJs and/or ones who haven't developed their Ti. Personally I think there are two distinct types of INFJ and I don't necessarily mean 'turbulent' or 'assertive'.

[@AverageChild55]

An INFP would be a better pair to an INFJ, because for them everything is about social values and social justice(even though they can be really wrong and uppity about it without doing research). INFJs are really good with people, and that ticks with an INFP because they're all about feeling like a shaman. They're really artsy and indie. An INTP and INTJ pair is more about intellectuality, even though INTP is about metaphysics(like me, I like to imagine certain situations/daydreams/solutions while not really executing anything, it's a real hinder srs), if they get their mind to something, they can pick up on clues really quickly because of the constant thinking process. And the INTJ provides that framework to work with.

[@AllieB-11.11]

I'm an INFJ. I don't mind some INFPs but I know one that is far too heavy with the Fi and that annoys the hell out of me as it's too judgemental and closed-minded - also this person overuses their Si and underuses their Ne so that adds to the traditional, 'not thinking outside the box' approach that INFJs find so petty and boring. An INFP would have to reeeeeeally be using their Ne properly for me to get along with them (and I definitely wouldn't consider getting involved with an INFP male romantically) but then I'm an Ni-Ti subtype of INFJ (in the DaveSuperPowers system) so I tend to get on with NTs well as I've got a high IQ for an INFJ. I am very good at writing academic essays for example and score high marks. So for me personally I don't agree with what you've said - I get on with INTPs and INTJs better than I do with INFPs - that's from my 30-something years of life experience. PS. I'm not at all an SJW - not all INFJs have the same political views. Only some INFJs are the progressive SJW type - I can't stand all that handwringing/banging pots and pans whilst protesting due to the fact I tend not to use my Fe as much as many of them do - I don't come across as sappy or soppy or all about taking care of people and I won't sacrifice myself for anyone else. It all depends on upbringing as to how your functions are balanced out. There are 2 groups on FB for 'INTP and INFJ' and 'INTJ and INFJ' so it's obviously not just me that thinks the above - they're full of happy friends and couples of those types.

[@AverageChild55]

+Allie B Fair enough. My experience with this is purely anecdotal anyway. I've had a friend that's been dating a self-proclaimed INFJ(she's also mastering in Psychology and I've spoken to her a few times).

11:09 Great insights Mr. Joseph. Definitely right there. It's nearly impossible for me to lie to anyone. In fact even if there's good reason why one might lie in some situation it just won't enter into my option list. So when someone thinks I'm lying to them, or worse, assumes that I'm some generic liar, I can become offended pretty easily. If someone wants to see InTp anger just accuse them of some wrong doing and when they deny it, call them a liar and watch the long slow fuse start burning very quickly. Great structural foundations cannot be built with lies and that's the most important framework in life.

I find it to be very true that INTJs want to give people a good experience and make them comfortable, and as an INTP I just soak that stuff right up.

As an INTJ I'm not afraid of people around me being stupid, and I don't think I'm the smartest person in the room. But I'm constantly afraid that people haven't done proper research, which they usually haven't! I'm really hard on my self when it comes to not forming opinions on things I haven't done a lot of research on too. BUT I know that I can be really hypocritical and sometimes jump to conclusions without having done the research when I think it's "just makes sense", in other words it "feeeeeels right".. This is usually when I don't have time to do the reseaech or when it's things that you can't research, for examle what goes on in other peoples heads. My INTP-partner hates that I always ask him to present the research he's done to come up with his conclusion.. I understand it has to be annoying, but many times he hasn't. The thing is, I think of him as smarter than me and know that he probably is right most of the times, but I have to be able to follow his logic to decide if he's right or not. So, pro tip to all logic people talking to us rationals: help us follow your logic by either presenting research or giving us a step-by-step of "this is how I came up with this".

[@ChrispyNut]

"As an INTJ I'm not afraid of people around me being stupid" "But I'm constantly afraid that people haven't done proper research, which they usually haven't!" Uhhh.... :P Yea, we're not great (merely 'good', at best) at researching, but it's really easy for us to decipher true from false so often only 'some' research is required, the problems arise when an extra bit of information would completely reshape the framework and therefore the conclusions, which is why we really need you to go that extra mile with the research to be sure we've not missed stuff. Sure, it therefore helps to know what we've researched, which is tricky for us, just as it's tricky for you to appreciate that when we're saying things that go against what you believe to be true / common sense / accepted fact. All of this would be sooo much easier, if only we weren't both such "know-it-alls", jumping from deeply complex subject to the next, but then we wouldn't deeply love eachother as much. Glad to hear of another INTP that's got a deep relationship with an INTJ, gives me "hope" that I might sometime too.

It is true that INTJs can jump to conclusions too quickly (that is what they do and often it is correct,but Ni can only come to the right conclusion if the data at hand is correct) and that is why my favorite poem is "Cookie Thief" by Valerie Cox. Everyone should read this poem before they go out into the world everyday (everyone has a tendency to jump to conclusions) to remind them how easily they can be fooled by their own biased perspective and assumptions. I think INTJs are even less likely than most types to make this mistake, but why people notice the INTJ failure is because they are used to being right and thus are so adamant (confident) that they are right, even when they are the "Cookie Thief". If you haven't read the poem, read it, because it is absolutely brilliant in depicting this flaw in human arrogance.

So I’m an INTJ, I took a professional test from work that said I was but when I took 16 personalities and other tests online the results were inconsistent. This made me very paranoid about which personality I actually am so I did extensive research of how to tell if you’re not an INTJ and the cognitive functions of an INTJ. Only once did I actually watch your videos and learned to type myself through cognitive functions did I finally accept the fact that I actually am an INTJ. I really wanted to make sure I didn’t mistype myself cuz I’ve researched that most people who are typed as INTJ from tests aren’t actually INTJ and I did not want to fall into that category.

C.S. Joseph, finding your videos about INTP's has provided me with more solid insight than any other source. Consistently on MBTI tests I come up ENFP. It certainly rings true, mostly. On my first ever socionics test I came up INFp. What I really hope to understanding is my interactions and compatibility with INTP. Thanks so much for all your great explanations. Great stuff!!!

[@CSJoseph]

Awesome, I am glad to have helped.

17:00 INTPs = have ethical/social behaviour, and ask "what does everyone else want?" whilst critical to their own wants. focused on the "what if" Remembers things others do. Potentially stagnant. Get into routines. Unaware of the physical environment. INTJs = morally-upright, but not socially aware, and ask "what do I want?" focussed on the reality of what is, but bad with memories. Don't like complacency. Verify all information. Paranoid/untrusting. *** Relationship between the two: INTPs and super loyal/comfortable and remind INTJs of INTP good deeds, helping the INTJ paranoia be calmed. INTPs can be taught to better-interact with their environment, dress well, and not be stagnant by the INTJ. Needs: INTPs need to be thanked for being caring. INTJs need to be thanked for the experience, helping you think, and stay honest. Forgetting an INTJ makes them feel that you are disloyal.

that talk at 13 : 00 or something... it got me inspired as an INFP. I mean I have both Te and Ne fonctions, yeah sure they aren't prominent but I developed my Te fonction (don't ask how it's life) so I should be able to get somewhere while doing research. In conclusion, Imma freaking compete with that INTJ-INTP duo from now on, I feel so fired up to fight others intelligence it's SOOOO orgasming for my mind. i needed this thrill in my life.

INTJ-INTP team is unstoppable force that can cure cancer - that’s really fascinating. But I’m curious as to learn about INTJ-ENTJ team , since they are both Strategic and focus on efficiency and optimization and very pragmatic, also they are in my opinion like to produce novelty ( unusual ) and very intelligent methods to solve problems . Looking forward to hear your speculation in that regard and Thank you in advance.

[@cherrymarriedindiscord1404]

having INTJ-INTP-ENTJ is the absolute team, they'll probabely need an INFP or ENFP tho because that much lack of morals gives me anxiety (look in the past what that has resulted)

[@MinchuPlant]

I have an INTJ girlfriend and being an INTP I have been looking into how the types affect relationships and human interactions. Everybody on the internet and every page about MBTI is about paring with the complete opposite. whereas I have always felt this is not entirely true. and when you said it too it does makes sense.

"Drawning your self worth from the level of acceptance that you have in your life"... What sorcery is this? You have seen into my soul and I feel exposed.

[@smithaphilip5020]

I love that you give examples of the interaction between two personalities.

[@rebekatalebi8046]

The reason why I’m starting to think I’m intp and not infp is that I would be willing to take beatings if it meant I had to question authority. But I think infps are less skeptical.

[@dsthewolf8206]

I’m counting watching this video as my 30 minutes of productivity today. Thank you

[@tiyahyisrael3277]

Haha yes

[@patbluetree4636]

I must be the most impatient Intp on the planet. I have zero tolerance for manipulation ,control,stupidity. If my food isn't ready when I am, I become very aggressive and agitated. When waiting on just about anything, I sometimes just give up or take care of it myself. I really have almost zero patience of any kind, except when I'm interested in something ,then I have all the patience and time in the world.

My new dentist is an INTJ and I'm an INTP. I went in for a routine teeth-cleaning that was supposed to take an hour but ended up taking 3 hours - we finally had to agree to stop conversing so that he would stop losing money on me even though I was the last appointment for the evening lol.

[@katiemcmillin6467]

A problem in the dynamic I (INTP) have with my INTJ ex-bf/friend is that we both generally are pretty misanthropic, and I more so than him have a tendency toward nihilism, and that can spiral pretty quickly and be self re-enforcing. Neither one of us will lift the other up. So, we kind of have to keep each other at arm's length to an extent so we don't go into unhealthy thinking patterns. As far as a friendship goes, it's fine most of the time, but it was really terrible when we dated. Personally, I think we would both be better in a romantic relationship with NFs, and probably extraverts, who will make us appreciate people more and get us out of our shells.

‼️PLEASE ‼️Could you make a video on the INTP-T & ESTJ-A as a Couple. Thank You So much for your Terrific skill of explaining So Well.

Chase doesn't believe in asseritive and turbulant His other channel "CS Joseph responds" has really good content but I dunno if there is a vid about INTP with ESTJ but short answer; good emotional compatibility, bad sexual compatibility, tho ESTJ can at one point be really good in bed (Se critic) but they'll get tired and want to "recieve", they'll sometimes see you as too lazy for them so they'll constantly tell you to do this and do that "it's what you should do and you would want to do if you want a better future", take their advice if you consider yourself turbulant
