How to Spot an INTP

As an INTP, people often think I'm depressed because I'm always quiet and staring off into space.

[@kolyamoldorovan2582]

Yep.

[@Tokinjester]

+Kajsa Smith I used to get called aloof, arrogant, cold...meh!

[@rvndre8601]

"They give off this vibe of not giving a shit... the judgemental ones raise an eyebrow" You got me there.

[@allen7615]

As an INTJ, yup i sometimes raise an eyebrow

[@TheInsomniaddict]

I try not to be judgmental, and I still do the eyebrow thing. (INTP)

[@Duck-lb6ff]

I want to do that in real life, but I can't raise one eyebrow.

[@edstretton2214]

I hate being an INTP when I don't want to talk in a group. "Hey, are you okay?" (totally confused) "Yeah, why?" "You seem a little quiet." "I'm fine!" "If there's anything you need to talk about..." "No, really. I'm fine." Then they go away thinking I'm depressed or retarded or some shit, and I'm still clueless...

[@neotronextrem]

LOL, me on a party. Everyone who is drunk, asks me,: "Yo boy, have no fun?" and I just: "no, whattup, im asame as drunk as you."

[@harleyquinnmistress3377]

[@jbyungwoo]

"Hey, are you okay?" "I was, until you started talking to me"

[@ElektrikPichuZ]

You don't really have to hate about being an INTP, instead, you should enjoy being an INTP. because INTPs are quite rare. Instead of hating what you are, you should just try to fix what you don't like. If someone thinks you're depressed or something like that, get your message across. Say stuff like this: _"Do you really think I have depression or something like that? Cause I must tell you, that is not the case and I feel quite uncomfortable when you ask me this kind of question."_

[@boldanabrasevic3020]

Or "Why are you so quiet all time?" "You don't have to be shy."

[@coopersmith6977]

INTPs tend to seem very relaxed, but some are quite eccentric.

[@osmositeequilibria9903]

[@arty1593]

+T_alsomeGames I am an ENTP and I don't think I would last a minute in an INTP's head. Waaay too much cold and paced logic. Similarly I don't think INTPs would last a minute in an ENTP's head, where they are rapidly hopping subjects via free association. I love INTPs because they ground me!

[@rstevewarmorycom]

Rafael Molina IN(TP)teresting. I know that most people couldn't handle the rigid standards of proof, evidence, and logic that I maintain upon myself. I'm an INTP. I think most people would kill themselves before doing what I do. But, you see, I'm determined to be right about everything, and I would rather alter my mind electrically with a light cord than fail to obey reason and logic as it changes my mind just so that I can continue to be right!

[@anthonysiebenmorgen7216]

@@egenuzumla7050 not necessarily. Intp's can have a massive variety of interests just like entp's. I found an interest and obsessed over it until it started to look good. Honestly it's taken me a while to get it down. It provides a lot of options for me to figure out and refine, which is stimulating. I'm pretty textbook Intp, my functions are all pretty apparent. Ive also gotten feedback from my intj and entp friends to make sure I typed myself appropriately. It's more questionable that im entp instead of intp but I think my experience tends to line up with the function stack of intps. Don't take me wrong, I still have my fair share of dorky outfits featuring nerdy jokes and scifi references. Those are for days when I'm feeling lazy.

GeekingOut Ben Yes the ideal INTP environment is to sit and obsorb information all day long.

[@geekingoutben5720]

Type Tips My dad and my mom are both extroverts and expect me to be the same and they keep saying that im going to end up being a loser if i sit in my room all day :/

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

GeekingOut Ben An INTP has a cognitive function called extroverted intuition--it helps them explore the world around them. There is a lot you can learn from a book but there are intellectual interests elsewhere too. But by no means you are a loser. I suspect they have weaknesses that you don't have, perhaps they are far less reflective. They are trying to understand you only from their point of view, treating you as an extrovert when you are not. So their conclusion is incorrect.

[@annab670]

GeekingOut Ben You my friend are exactly like me. My whole family is extroverted and it sucks because they think I'm antisocial or depressed because I don't enjoy or care for talking with them

[@Haruchan1996]

same. My mother and sister keeps thinking im depressed because I like my alone time. Its a bit damaging when told that constantly I used to question whether or not i was depressed. I do suffer from depression time to time but I feel as though me wanting to be alone is not one of them.

[@juliet.chico96]

i'm an intp, the calm eyes thing is a compliment, i usually have dead eyes. the clothes thing, about if intps dress up they research it. that's exactly what i do! i do a lot of research on certain styles i like and i have a whole blog about it so i can track down what i like and when. lol that was very spot on for me

[@GhostSamaritan]

Might just be me but I think it applies to most INTP's in general. We like to get nerdy and do a lot of research in certain subjects. Like, if I am buying something I do a lot of research before in order to get the best value for the money. If I am creating something, I research how to create it as effectively as possible. Kind of like making mental graphs comparing different options.

[@asdere457]

this look like a 30step group but there we go , Hello people , I am an INTP too , (hello INTP) yes I do the same , it's just a lazy way of making things faster to me , like why should i bother to figure out how to do it by myself when i can look up the way of doing it and if i feel like it , I upgrade it. I guess those INTPs who dont research for the best deal are way better in terms of monetary freedom than I do , when i have lots of money i just dont care unless its something im gonna use everyday , like a guitar or amp , computer stuff , well any technology ( I luv it)

[@Dummy257]

I cannot get over the fact that people judge you on how you dress... This is stone age thinking for me.

[@kenjones6828]

My dressing started as a way to minimize outside contact by blending in. Then it evolved into an creative outlet and I started dressing in vintage styles (bowties, suspenders, derby hats, fedora hats, etc), then to loud expressive colors, and now, I don't even have a name for it, just my style. I only dress up on rare occasions of socializing with friends... I do have the fro though, with the bread. Haven't been to the barber in like 5 month. No cut, trim, shave, shape up, or anything. It goes with the style lol. See the key to create you own space of existance. It's hard to say something is right or wrong when it's unfamiliar nature exceed ones comprehension. That way even the judgmental people are too afraid to express their opinions out of fear that it may expose their ignorance that they might not be up on "all" the latest fashion. Muhahahaha 😈... And that concludes "Random rant from a random wanderer"

[@Hadrianus01]

you are correct about giving "caveats" before stating opinion. This is so true for me! I think people find it irritating but I just can't help myself.

How to spot an INTP: they're in the library or book store, purposely as far away from other people, unkempt hair, no makeup if female, untamed facial hair if male, dark circles under their eyes, holding onto their caffeinated beverage the way other people might hold a child, studying something so dense and complicated most people haven't the slightest interest in it, taking detailed notes in sloppy handwriting no one but them can even read. :D

I will agree with the caffeine, bookstore, studying, no make-up, and staying away from people statements. I almost always have a coffee or pop and I get interested in tons of things (currently having to do with detective work, so don't freak out), a couple things I'm researching are poisons and criminal psychology. However, even though my hair DOES look fairly messy, I take good care of it. Just that my hair constantly curls in random spots while staying straight in others... And I was recently told that my handwriting is pretty, for what that's worth. Speaking of caffeine, I have a free Starbucks coffee to use tomorrow. ^^

I've always hated watching a movie with one other person as it feels so uncomfortable, but I'm fine watching a movie with many other people in a cinema or at school/college etc. Its funny with the last bit because I've been all three 'flavours' of INTP in my life. When I was young I was the explorer type, in my teens I was the judgemental type and now I'm the relaxed type. I see this in my dad as well - he'll fluctuate between the judgemental and relaxed type.

[@noorussabahtauqeer9709]

This was pretty accurate, especially the not-giving-a-shit part.

Other INTPs seem to shun public speaking.

[@mr6462]

As an INTP I can do presentation as long as I'm prepared and I enjoy the attention received on stage, but off stage I just switch back.

+Sangam Swadik I would not place too much stock on the test itself. The MBTI is more about cognition (the ways you process information in your mind) rather than behavior, and the test measures behavior. I suggest you look at the profiles fro INTJ and INTP, then look at their "cognitive functions" and see which rings most true to you.

[@starrystarrynight52]

INTP female here. I never cared what my clothes look like, usually nothing that would draw attention. I wear clothes until the holes in them get so big they become indecent or won't hold up another wash. If I have to be at an important event or work then I'll wear something a bit nicer. My favorite shirt has a stain on it, is ten years old, and I still wear it everywhere. With my hair, I got lucky and have good hair. If I have a good haircut, I don't even have brush it. I just wash and go, happily. But I was the odd girl when in the 80's I didn't do my hair a mile high with a gallon of hairspray. What's makeup? I hate the stuff. I watch too many emotional shows/movies with my kids, so I've more used to being around people watching emotional movies and shows. But what I do like watching alone are movies that are surreal in nature (like Tale of Tales). I guess mostly so my infp daughter (she's not quiet at home, lol) won't stop to talk about things (Which is fine most of the time, but not when I want to concentrate on movie.) and my grown istj son, who would see such movies as "silly" and due to his practical nature, doesn't quite appreciate surrealism.

[@batteryacid2649]

Exactly. Most of the time I like to dress relaxed, but once in a while I like to dress nice too but because i like it. I don't dress to impress. I could also go the goofy joke route, also. I think the whole dress thing and hygiene is very stereotypical. I'd say probably true in *most* cases, but, people should also remember we are individuals with different interests and different life circumstances/problems that could give reason to minor differences.

[@mpcc2022]

Types are archetypes; however, people are not. If you want to know if someone is an INTP then talk to them. When you are attempting to speak to them if they politely yet strongly resist your advancement until you mention an intellectually arousing topic then you may very well be speaking with an INTP, however, since INTPS are quite private, internal, subjective, and idiosyncratic beings you will most likely only know for certain if you're dealing with an INTP if they one: tell you they're an INTP, or two: you engage in meaningful dialogue with them, and observe their models, logic, and reasoning. In addition, I thoroughly understand carnal desires, and know exactly what I want to do with a women, and why I want to.

[@herminlionel1909]

"politely yet strongly resist your advancement until you mention an intellectually arousing topic" You just summed up the exact way I deal with strangers in social situations.

Hermin Lionel​ Understandable, we can differ in so many ways, but I notice that our disposition and behavior to strangers and small talk is universal. I'm like that with all strangers myself.

[@mpcc2022]

Though, I will not watch an emotional movie with another person.

[@Kodkody]

The black t shirt with the white design... Literally about 90% of my t-shirts LOL

[@aylinlugo8031]

Damn Ville my same thought!

[@Kodkody]

aylin lugo don't worry, it still looks good regardless!

[@aylinlugo8031]

Damn Ville yeah that's because black and white always looks good together haha

[@tasiadupree]

As an INTP i have great style and i wear whatever I feel like wearing. Some days I feel comfortable in a flashy outfit, and other days I want to blend in as much as possible. I need an invisibility cloak.

[@bmviss]

Law is written by INTPs for INTPs. Made me laugh out loud and also realize you are completely correct. I also periodically research how to dress... doesn’t everyone do that?

[@rstevewarmorycom]

No one understands what INTP really is unless they too are an INTP. The beliefs about INTPs by non-INTPs are amusing and wrong. It's like being a genius and others being unable to figure out why you're right all the time.

[@AnoAssassin]

I'm a damn chameleon. 0 limits to what I can change to if I want to. I read that this is one INTP trait so can someone tell me SOMETHING about this thing?

[@JosephRDBenjamin]

Chameleon mode takes a huge toll on me personally. After a while, if Im not careful, I'll believe I am just as I pretend to be until someone or something knocks me out of the illusion. This causes a massive surge of anxiety and depression that may last for a very long time... This has always been followed by acceptance, reassessment and improvement. I also question what damage my high anxiety level does to my mind and body, what may happen if I continue to grow in such a way. I will die someday regardless of my mental and physical management, so why not let go like others tell me, why not just be happy. Well... I've tried that and for me that amounts to a life of getting high and making decisions I regret. I want to be better than everyone at everything to be honest, but I truly have limits that make such a simple notion of superiority impossibe. My ego has been a massive issue all my life. I have trouble forgiving myself and my inadiqucy. I am truly haunted by the past and instead of being destroyed by it I want to change what I hate about myself. Unfortunately the daunting task of self evaluation takes my thinking patterns into dark territory. I need other people and new experiences to escape from myself. Ugh. Why did I type so much and why am I compelled to keep going? I think this is good for me. Peace and love to you.

[@last9703]

Know that I'm going through the same thing you are, and that I rephrased this comment at least 5 times before commenting.

[@AnoAssassin]

+Last You rephrased it well :)

[@poe6018]

Chameleon mode Is my hobby, I find quite funny to mess with people beliefs hahahahahahaha

[@NoLifeGamer1080]

Well you're right about the wardrobe. I have 200 white shirts, 2 pares of shoes, 15 pants, 13 black sweaters, 2 white sweaters, 50 socks, and 50 boxers :) been that was since I was in middle school.

[@CleverDjembe]

+Original_NoLifeGamer Why would a person need that many white shirts and boxers? The other stuff I kinda understan.d.

[@NoLifeGamer1080]

CleverDjembe They accumulate over time and I don't do laundry that often lol after about a month and a half I'm out of stuff to wear so I'll either go get more or spend the whole day washing.

[@CleverDjembe]

Original_NoLifeGamer ok :)

[@Consoneer]

i want

[@erasmus9511]

Original_NoLifeGamer it's weird when I'm INTP yet fashionable.

[@elisewee686]

well as an intp who can't do the eyebrow raise... it's frustrating. whenever i want to do that i just furrow my eyebrows and raise them, in an attempt to raise just one. is there some kind of muscular differences between those who can raise one eyebrow and those who can't? there probably is. i suppose it could be a dysfunction or something that's hereditary.. as far as i know none of my relatives can raise their eyebrows. also, any other intp find themselves talking to themself about any given topic

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

+elise wee it is a minor INTP trait, there are a lot of INTP facial expressions you have to be proud of haha

[@james4727]

lmfao. here I am in a shirt that's 2 days old havnt showered, and might right shoes sole is hanging off xDDD

[@milky_wave7289]

When I was in high school people would think I was clueless or stuck up when it came to my opinion on social events. I would make small talk like answering with "yes" "no" "I don't like it" and/or "not interested/never heard of it."

[@sandraard4306]

I hate to go out side , I over explain things to people , I feel like I'm boring to the majority of people, it's hard for me to make friends , I don't like to talk unless it's something I'm really interested in but most people find boring ( like science or religion ) thus I feel like no one likes me . To me the best technology is the Internet because I spend all day long if I could asking questions about many subjects on my galaxy note 4 and this is how I found out why I'm so wierd through an Internet search of the 16 personality traits . It was a relief to find out there are others that have my same " disability ". . Actually it's a blessing and a curse !

[@b.sharp.]

I have an easier way. See if they take apart their pens randomly just to put them back together again

[@keegitagina8902]

This is soo accurate!! I know an INTP that is exactly like what's described here. I love him a lot but don't dare to approach him because he looks so severe and aloof, still I can see the sweetness in him... Do you think I should write him a secret letter?

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

+keegita gina Go for it!

[@AnoAssassin]

+keegita gina I am INTP. If I will ever receive a secret letter I'll be forever thankful to whoever made it and appreciate them greatly. It'd be a fine change from the boring everyday occurrences

[@mauve9266]

The fashion thing is really interesting. I think “if you are what you wear you better dress for the part that you want” As an INTP I really love clothes and put a conscious effort into the way I dress (if I’m gong out, if not couldn’t care less) I love that I can wear something that truly feels like me almost an extension of myself but not quite. When I wear an outfit like this I feel myself aligning with my “truth” whatever that is. Just like someone can say or live their truth they can wear it and I think that’s Pretty damn cool 😎 oh and I love analysing outfits like what does this piece convey etc. etc. Edit: but I also love trolling ppl with my clothes neon animal print denim on denim whatever annoys you I’ll wear it just to annoy 😆

[@mostlyCivilized]

An INTP who can't do the eyebrow raise?!?! *shock* Jk, jk.

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

+SunlightKills lol that is because I am an INFP hahaha

[@hellothere4485]

+Type Tips make more of these videos but with the other types XD

[@SmittenKitten.]

Gosh, you are so damned good.

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

+SmittenKitten Awww shucks!

[@SmittenKitten.]

Type Tips You know it's true! ;)

[@t3rra319]

Very accurate, as an INTP I checked my clothing to compare it to your discription. I'm currently wearing a black and white spider shirt and black jeans. Pretty accurate. But the strong logical progression in speach you mentioned, I have to disagree. When exited I know that we tend to sounds incoherent.

[@MW2proinfo]

You talked about how some INTP's exhibit a lot of Ne. I'm an INTP and I definitely show my fair share of extroversion, my friends are surprised that I'm an introvert, but I know I am INTP. However, whenever I use Ne, it feels as if I'm an ENTP. I create arguments and often use Ne to invent new art. I've been thinking a lot about it, and it seems to me that maybe the type that shares all the cognitive functions could be some sort of 'sidekick' type, where the other personality shows. For an INTP it would be an ENTP, for an INTJ, an ENTJ, and so on. Just pondering, let me know what you think!

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

Hi James! I didn't understand what you mean by sidekick...but yes, upon closing distance with others an introvert's extroverted functions will all turn on.

[@jinglelam3602]

From my perspective ENTP is the crazy mad scientist while INTP is a equally crazy assistant but stops ENTP from trying to make a rhino have sex with a lion.

[@itsjustnadia]

As an INTP, I think you're pretty much spot on tbh. Especially about trying to articulate as well as I can how my brain works which is nearly impossible because my thoughts tend to be very complex.

[@Lerche125]

Caviats!! YESSS I preface EVERYTHING i say.

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

+Nick Lerche You sounded too certain when you wrote that.

[@Earbly]

It's mind-blowing how accurate this all is. Wow. I'm definitely the chill/relaxed/laid back type that is willing to explore things. I had kids at my school that looking back on it now were definitely INTPs but the more judgemental type that would do that exact eyebrow thing hahahaha. I've had countless times where people tell me in an astonished tone how unbelievably chill I am lol. I know I'm tooting my own horn but it's just to demonstrate how accurate this is. And I'm almost never satisfied to just leave something like an experience to other people's word. I just have to try it myself. Whether that be travel, speaking foreign languages, psychedelics etc...I definitely have the drooped eyes you were talking about, And the whole idea that INTPs don't really dress up at all, unless it's for a joke describes me to a tee. And ya the only time I dressed to stand out was when I was in school I would dress up in ridiculous checkered suits and all sorts of stuff like that just to put a smile on people's faces. Really awesome video man you really blew my mind. Much love yo!! Have a good one :)

[@JakeLovesSteak]

I just happened upon this video. You did a good job. You described me pretty well. Now I have some pondering to do.

[@AnoAssassin]

+Wutsizface I'm laughing hard because I imagine you pondering with the face in your profile pic :D

[@JakeLovesSteak]

AnoAssassin Lol... Yes, it's my pondering face!

[@MagikForTheMAsses]

I wear brightly colored mismatched socks. But I always wear them I love them so it's to impress me first the humans are a distant second

[@gradstudentUCM]

I wear quirky shirts because I like the way the shirt makes me feel or the message it sends to me. People liking them is just a bonus. I totally get impressions yourself with your clothes first!

[@rosacutejenniely8339]

Oh dear you can really spot me I think I've worn the same outfit for a week, my hair is almost down to my butt and my expression is usually blank and non-expressive. Too bad I don't care like you said. ;D

[@rosacutejenniely8339]

Sometimes I go schizo and start yelling at everyone for no reason. So. Get away.

[@AshlynnAspires]

My eyes are huge but I didn’t even noticed that they are droopy and not wide open. So everyone think I’m always sleepy or super chill. 😑

[@eunnikins]

it's funny that you mentioned the neon camouflage shirt because I saw the same video that you did and bought the same shirt afterwards bc I liked it so much. coincidentally Bill Murray wears the same one in Lost In Translation. also, I hate watching movies with people I don't trust! I think for exactly the reason you mentioned. I can't experience or enjoy it fully because of my awareness of the other person.

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

+eunnikins Now you know why you look the shirt! Thanks for the insight into the intp mind when someone else is in the room watching the movie.

[@jasondoesanime1237]

"Everyone cares about things that don't matter." Literally why is this my life story.

[@Johnny-jr7yp]

this man just exposed me...

[@mikeminden1090]

I just glued the sole back onto my shoe -- because it made noise when I walked. I hate making audible footsteps.

[@vgyq_cmg9488]

I love how this video is supposed to be for other types in order to spot intps, but all the comments I've seen so far are from intps

[@gradstudentUCM]

It’s so we can find each other and not spend time together but appreciate each other ... from a distance ...

[@canconfirm6002]

An INTP's struggle with the suppressed partial smile is real. The monotone of my INTP buddy makes audio editing a breeze :P

[@Red-Ruze]

I saw this and thought that this guy knew who I was... He just described me.

[@zarahh5203]

As an INTP, can't relate to the dressing and hygiene thing. Get a lot of compliments because of my fashion sense but it's repetitive. Like I were the same thing all the time (a bit like Steve jobs) even tho I have 2 of many tops and pants. The colors of my clothes are mostly black. If I'm feeling for variation I wear something navy or off white with the black. That's as exciting as it gets but I'm kind of too lazy to put any thought on what to wear in the morning. Have been doing so since I was really young so can't bother what people think.

[@batteryacid2649]

Yeah...I think the main thing is that we don't dress to impress. We literally wear what WE want...unless it's a situation where we have to dress a certain way.

[@laineypaynter8509]

INTPS dress ironically .... Apparently

[@bloomthrive9179]

So awesome. I love INTP's :) And I love your channel:) 💟

[@uubrixlila7731]

OMG it was awesome when you started talking about the two types of INTPs it's SO TRUE! I know both sub types, and the judgmental one does do that eyebrow raise! Bravo! Hahahahaha. XD

[@MrMoodyKSA]

During my childhood, when i would be hanging out around my friends, I would sit there observing and listening to their conversations. For awhile they convinced me that something wrong with me (I did not know that i was INTP during that time) because I rarely talk and even if I do talk, it would very short. Now days I just sit home wishing that i can go out and meet people but at the same time, I hate people.

[@HighestNumberZero]

"INTPs have eyes that are calm and cool, like this" *Nothing changes* lmao you're funny bro

[@petra3754]

Amazing description :) good job

[@mcjohnsonsgirl]

Watch an emotional movie? I don't like them....The Lion King is as heavy as I can handle and it always makes me cry. lol

[@BlakebyDesign]

Excellent breakdown. Thank you so much.

[@angellysa4238]

im impressive this is really true

[@angellysa4238]

+melanie zee about the movie,eyebrows,but still.. i dont know if i intp or infp cause my f and t results are close

[@sleekoduck]

OMG you solved a mystery I've been pondering for a while about my brother! (INFJ or INTP?) And yes, he left the room when the snake bite scene in True Grit came up. Thank you! You rock!

[@sleekoduck]

But... T-shirts are more of an ISTP thing - my niece loves them. The INTPs I know favor button- ups or Polo shirts. My brother has about 30 black ties from the days when they were required office wear for men.

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

Thank you!! I'm glad it is solved!

[@hollytotallyarealname254]

Caveats all day long!!! This is wonderful to finally hear how I am viewed, thank you!

[@yassergomaa]

As an INTP , you will spot on them by their dressing up .. not totally stylish or at least wearing one item not suitable with the rest. Talking about different topics and jumping from one subject to another in seconds... Not loving social events than spending quality time on debating one idea out of curiosity... Being cool outside none emotional for others but deep inside it's like 🃏 character in Batman movie... Getting bored from cooperate life and routine

[@andrebarendse177]

Incorrect. Personal Hygiene, cloths etc are optional extras, probably a good idea if you want a girlfiend, but generally just a waste of time. Going to the bathroom also... I hate the fact that I have to waste time maintaining a biological body. The day they invent the uploading of consciousness I'll dump my body/corpse on at the door of revenue services and upload to cyberspace ...

[@aonaohafa]

Andre Barendse lmao same thought. Sometimes I dont understand those people who often take a shower while me feels so lazy even to remove the clothes lol

[@user-vg4ds8oy5k]

I hate having to clean this face. I hate feeling stiff. I hate the feeling of eyeballs in my head. Having to sweat. getting fingerprints on my things. Wearing clothes that just keep getting dirty. Even underwear is too much of a hassle. I hate body hair too. Everything about being in a body feels like "extra". Don't even get me started on eating.

[@bloomthrive9179]

Just wait till you go to heaven if you wanna do that. No bathrooms in Heaven!!! Woohoo I am so excited :D

[@coldwelthsimms5958]

I think having anxiety as an INTP is very hard, especially as a girl.

[@tollerest]

yeah I had a floppy shoe once as a kid(well maybe a couple of times and also in adulthood :/). I'm actually super fussy about clothing but never find what I want so I play it safe. Thought about making my own clothes but I haven't got a sewing machine. I do hesitate before moving into peoples space as if to say look I'm moving in you have time to say stop, I'm also irritated by people moving into my space within 1meter(unless they're a hot female and then my brain just explodes)

[@jessicali8594]

That one eyebrow raised bit at the end is so spot on.

[@parkerestes3969]

Such generalized conclusions.

[@kenjones6828]

Sounds about right lol. Teachers use to always mention how soft spoken I was. I'm also monotone, so I've been told... And can come off as nonchalant. Also, I do love to watch my emotional movies alone. The internal world is crazy complex though. I've gotten my outside world to a manageable state so I can put more focus into tending to my internal world and life has became very awesome. Now I live in New York City, so you can imagine the fun I am having just observing. It's like a data collecting buffet.

[@thelandisgreen7499]

Hahhaha. So accurate

[@_xxpegasusxx_7204]

by far this is one of the most accurate INTP related videos in this platform 👏👏

[@andrejoseholguin5287]

I'm supposedly an INFJ, but I tend to have a cold demeanor except when talking to others. Would it be possible for you to do a similar video on INFJs?

[@TypeTipsLeonTsao]

André José Holguín Yeah I am thinking about doing one on INFJs. I find in general it is hard for INFJs to hide how they feel. Are you talking about facial expressions or what you say. Sometimes when INFJs talk they can actually be a bit detached. It is true tho INFJs can come off as cold, but they usually are expressive.

[@andrejoseholguin5287]

Type Tips I think I'm better than the typical INFJ in being able to hide his true feelings (but I believe it's easier for someone to detect whether or not I'm comfortable, or trying to "get out" of something). But yes, you could say I'm more so talking about facial expression (my face can be very blank to uninviting unless I'm speaking with someone). Someone once told me NF types have a lot of trouble coming to understand themselves/if they've found their right type, etc.

[@bluesbulletin]

You're right about the "fro hair" though.

[@Khswart1]

its funny, every time when i was a kid and the family would have a movie night, whenever there was a kissing/sexual type scene i would always start like looking away or pulling out my phone or just not really look at the screen and i would have felt very awkward if i made myself sit there and just stare at the screen through the whole scene knowing my parents or brother could see me like intently watching people kiss on tv... idk but this video brought back that weird childhood memory, havent had movie night in years

[@lindsaycarlson2986]

So true!! Amazing 👏💕💚
