Episode 5 - INTP trying to test as another type!

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

0:10 🦆🦆🦆🦆 For what it’s worth, you remind me very much of an old friend who was so so very INTP! He also had a deep hurt when he was v young (2 at the same time) but he had an uncanny ability to shut it off. We would marvel at each other’s ability, his for stoicism (only when it came to negative emotions) mine for empathy (I’m an ENFP). The reason we got along is bc we both had varied interests AND he was one of thd funniest ppl I ever met. Ppl mistook this for extroversion but he was simply incredibly quick witted as long as he was comfortable/with ppl he knew. And when we were together not a lot got done. We “wasted” a lot of time together but I learned or experienced some of the most fascinating things ever with him. We both enjoyed learning from each other and he rly enjoyed teaching. That surprised me but he took great pleasure in introducing me to his favorite author or teaching me chess or certain things about football I didn’t understand. Kinda like you and these videos. He not only enjoyed sharing the knowledge but he seemed to be very amused by the learning process as he seemed to re-explore it along with it you. At the time I was a more introverted ENFP but for his family I was like the most outgoing person ever. Bc I actually enjoyed talking about emotions. And interestingly everyone kinda opened up to me in his family…except him. It was very rare he’d call on me for support. Or rly need it. But also I was just good at anticipating it. In addition when he didn’t want to do something he was very clever about avoiding conflict. So he just didn’t do it by using a form of passive resistance, and the thing he didn’t want to do would just “pass by”. It actually took me a while to figure out what he was doing, and then I actually used it a few times on him, but after the second time he figured it out right away! 😂 Most interesting person I ever met I think. We both loved movies and books but he rly disliked “schmaltz” or what he termed “emotionally manipulative”. Haha I loved those!!! So that movie Q made me smile :)) Short version: you seem like a v mature INTP to me Edit: 22:20 I wrote all that before you said you were a sub. So was he. And a coach.

I recently met a 5w4 sexual intp at work and it was instant connection and chemistry. I really appreciate your type! Plus I Love the quirkiness!

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

The only other type that makes sense for you seems any type with Ne, since you display that so obviously. To me it seems INTP, but more in the direction of ENTP than usual (so basically, less imbalanced when it comes to Ti/Fe and more unabalcned with Ne/Si)

Glad you were able to find a new job, Eric! How's your dog Cooper doing? I haven't seen him make any appearance in a really long time.

[@EricTheINTP]

I’m sadly still looking for work. I can’t remember what I mentioned in the video, though I do have some gigs from time to time. He’s doing well for an old dog, though his joints are really getting to him. I don’t live with my parents anymore but I still visit and get to see him from time to time :) it has been awhile since he has been in a video!

@@EricTheINTP You mentioned how you were a substitute teacher for grades like 1 and 2. It made me think of the sub job I had as a school bus assistant for special needs students. A job is a job whether it's temp, sub, seasonal, gig or hired in. Do your best and go from there! You'll land something permanent soon! And please tell Cooper the next time you see him that he has at least one online fan who misses his booper 🐶 😆

[@ash_meadows]

I believe you may "appear as" more of an ENTP vs INTP because of your "sexual" dominant enneagram subtype, but I think you are an INTP.

[@denisesiddon7241]

Seems more like entp😂

[@RaidenShogun..]

But you’re turbulent tho

[@m2pozad]

It's not as negative as the word implies. Yes, Turbulents react more strongly, but that becomes the drive that often translates into achieving more than the Assertives .

Youre too chipper to be an INTP.
