@@Smerpyderp I whole heartedly agree with you. As an INTP myself the only way I could properly convey to my parental units and other (very) few friends of my experience and slight distain for structered education and "higher learning" is to say "I never let school get in the way of my education and neither should you". In all honesty all it achieved was looks of confusion but hey I tried.

Guilty as charged even a great cousin asked my uncle (her grandad) why I seem to be amused by everything that's happening around me😂

[@lotus7589]

It might just be a small cluster of INTP's who do it, but there's also "the stare" where you just completely zone out and barely notice that you've been blanky staring ahead of you whilst you process new things. It's really annoying when people then feel the need to snap you out of that!

[@elisabeth8221]

Lotus yes i do that as a coping mechanism. When i am bored, annoyed or just don't wanna be there i zone out in my head. Its kinda like my own world. I usually analyze what is happening and how can i get out of this situation.

[@Dead_L4st]

If you're an INTP, you'll find that you can grow a lot as a person by practicing extroverted traits. The chameleon face is exactly how I communicate with large groups. I can come off as extremely confident and self assured, I can also be cold and machine-like, even goofy and neurotic. It just depends on the situation and my mood. The INTP traits do show up though. I was once called a black hole by a friend in class. This is because INTPs have a bad tendency to ignore things that are outside their sphere of interest. This unawareness of our surroundings means that we don't really notice when our friend is talking to another friend, if we're excited we'll hijack the entire conversation. And people will let you most the time. I very much follow rules of engagement with most my relationships. Unfortunately, this does make genuine connection difficult for us. Our minds are more vast than an ocean and few people can even stare into it's depths. Even though we're attentive to the people we care about, our difficulties understanding our own emotions makes us ill-equipped to understanding the thought process of those who act with both thought and emotion in tune. Our attentiveness can also backfire when we notice pathological behavior in people. Because of this, we feel the need to point out the behavior if it becomes a problem. Unfortunately, when we do this, it's a weaponization of words. INTPs aren't going to waste their time explaining it in a nice and sugar coated way. I can't tell you how many times I've inadvertently made someone insecure with a single sentence. It's not intentional though. We do have feelings, but the feelings are more observed than experienced for us. We bask in the sight of our friends' smiling faces. We enjoy the wamrth of our mother's concern. We relish in the banter with our lovers. We assume since the emotions we observe are so strong, that it must be obvious to the one's around us that it's there. In reality we appear distant and cold to those closest to us. On the inside though, we do everything in our power not to express the whirlwind of emotions that can sometimes overwhelm us. We appear to suck in the warmth, but we struggle to radiate it. By the way, I was never offended by the black hole comment. Flattered actually. It's nice when someone understands you.

[@thoughtsnacks7961]

More observed than experienced...yes! Great phrasing. Thanks for that.

Im an INTP and I can sugarcoat things no problem, somebody had some absolutely terrible makeup on the other day and I had to tell them so that they didn't end up alone forever like me, but I didn't want to hurt their feelings so I told them their makeup was very unique, and then I winked for emphasis.

[@aniokay]

Ok, admittedly, I didn't read you full post. But just wrt the part pf taking on a chameleon role: that is really dangerous to you psyke if you are doing that constantly... You will start to feel sad and depressed. I admit that being a chameleon at times can be beneficiary, but not every time you interact with people...

[@SpockTheExtreme]

aniokay Actually, thank you for saying that. I’m an INTP and I do a bit of the chameleon thing. I try to connect with people in a way that seems fitting. For someone that is fairly new, I’ll take a guess on how to interact with them, which may actually be more random and eccentric than an actual guess. So I end up interacting with different people differently. I think I overthink trying to connect with people, and feel like I have to have most of it planned out. I’ve been happiest when I feel completely loved and accepted, and I can live in the moment instead of planning my conversations. Those times in my life are rare. Not knowing how exactly to interact with people and the outcome leads to this kind of overthinking and planning. Add on to that a relationship where I had to walk on eggshells with my words, and I am back into overthinking. I am healing and constantly working on myself, learning better social skills. I am trying to rediscover the real me and find people that are ok with that. I feel like people wouldn’t like the smarter, nerdier Josh, and I try to dumb that down to connect with people. I’m letting go of that a bit. I do struggle with depression and loneliness, and this may be part of the reason why. Thank you, again.

State sponsored schooling has only one purpose, to create a class of workers just smart enough to run the machines, tax cattle if you will. It is a system of human farming. To reap the maximum productivity of man at the expense of Its physical and mental well-being. Today, we are seeing an unprecedented rise in mental and physical illness, among many many other issues. I believe this to be, largely, a consequence of the 'human farm', as just like an over-farmed field, the harder you push it, the more returns will be diminished.

I often worry that my body language and facial expressions are a dead giveaway of my disingenuousness when I'm trying to be polite, but am just not interested in what someone has to say. Even worse when I can't conjure the correct amount of empathy for a situation. I try very hard to look like the NPC's, but assume everyone will see right through me. Do other INTP think this way? I also move my eyebrows...A LOT...when I'm listening and speaking. Is this INTP as well?

[@ErikThor]

I think you can't necessarily change the fact that you look polite or not, but you can change your attitude regarding whether people are NPCs or not. People have a lot more depth than what they appear to, so if you want more fun out of social interactions, you need to run more experiments on people and prod and pry a little and see how they really work, beyond how they appear to work

I just want to be by myself or just a few chosen people that I can respect.. I've learned over my many years how to act in social situations but have made many mistakes by being verbally blunt with people that I perceive as being not very bright or those that make very bad decisions . It's better to not say anything to people that frustrate me and just move on .

Shoeonhead is an ISFP. She said it in one of her videos. ISFPs tend to resemble INTPs in certain cases.

Funny, I was debating IS vs IN for a while for her. I could swing ISTP, but I don't see IFP, because she lacks the understanding and empathising qualities of an IF and the honest, modest style of an FP type. She's more sure of herself (TP) and more critical in her thinking style (IT). I'll study her more.

What similarities do you see between INTPs and ISFPs?

Looking at the cognitive functions of ISFPs you may think that they are the most different type from INTPs, maybe this "polarity" in their functions results in some similarities between the two types? I personally think that they are really different types, maybe I'll change my mind maybe not

[@anotherplatypus]

I have watched quite a few "understand an INTP" videos by non-INTPs lately (KZbin algorithm gods?) but yours is the first one I've ever seen through lens of facial expressions... and to be honest I think you're on to something, or at least I would never bet against you in poker without grabbing my temples and screaming "Get out of my head!!!" for a few minutes first. = p *I'm speaking from what I've personally observed, it may not be true with all. Over-generalizing to the point of inaccuracy is a problem I've seen in nearly all of these videos.* By the way one trend I've noticed in these videos is it's like we're revered for johny-on-the-spot confident snap mid-conversation conclusions. I don't know about all INTPs but from my experience, and especially younger ones, we can spout some BS. I also have two siblings, plus my dad, that are INTPs (conversations in the car or around the dinner table are great). So speaking as one, and as one who has to deal with more than one, unless your INTP is well disciplined, the ideas coming out are often more like clay mock-ups, like prototypes, presented in order to find defects, fix, and improve. TBH wild-ass assumptions can come out sounding just as confident as not... we can spout garbage with the idea we'll fix it along the way. *(Reminder of earlier disclaimer.)* It's not obvious to others what we're doing, and not obvious to INTPs that nobody else talks like that, so you'll see an INTP getting into trouble if they're never asking questions, and especially if nobody openly contests their claims. *(I just realized I'm stating all of my observations as though they're concrete facts. This was not done intentionally to prove a point but, true to form, is an example of exact behavior I spent all of this space trying to describe up till now.)* With your ability to read facial demeanors that wouldn't be an issue, but thesaurus.com should link the terms gullable and INTP, so when someone says, "wow that's great," but thinks an INTP's claim is BS, they can fulfill that little prophecy by politely ignoring the inconsistencies.. Ok, that was my little present for you, I hope it there's some value to it... now, may I ask where did you get that trait? Is it a function of your personality type? If so that would mean a whole sector of the population does that, but I've only ever heard of one person who can look at a picture and tell you volumes about the person's personality, and I believe that was in a latter chapter of Malcolm Gladwell's book 'Blink'* under, I think, "mind reading" or something like that. *(If you haven't read that book, go to the bookstore and read that chapter, you'll absolutely love it.)* If you're different, was there a heavy environmental factor in play? Like you had a proclivity, but then you were also partially deaf, or didn't speak the language, or were raised by gypsies, or wolves, or mentalists. I must know. If you explain it in another video, or could link to another video or article explaining it, just point the way and I would be eternally grateful.

Holy Shite dude. That's a huge slob of a brick of a wall to read. In short, Too Long Didn't Read (TL;DR) Are ya even INTP? Anyway, with regards to KZbin's God-tier algorithm... It's because they are farming data on you and are trying to pinpoint *your* 16P personality type.

[@carolschiffler6271]

So as an INTP, I notice that many of the characteristics we have are almost indistinguishable from what was referred to - until quite recently when the DSM issued its latest revision - from someone who has Asperger's (or "high-functioning autism" as it is now called). It is almost as if a personality type that is natural for us has become a disorder. I am sure there may be some subtle differences, but so far I haven't found any. Erik, I find your work astoundingly on point and I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Other INTPs - what do you think?

[@ErikThor]

Carol, yes, INXXs are prone to autism, but there are other important factors necessary, such as the inability to process and manage your attention and to process sensory stimulation appropriately. Most healthy INTPs can access and use Sensing to a reasonable degree but it is when they feel completely unable to do so or when it starts causing them major challenges that it begins to be worth considering a diagnosis. A person with autism will have such difficulties that they struggle to have many normal elements of life, like touch, , handling busy school environments, dealing with normal life changes, being in unfamiliar environments. I think we may need to also look at enneagram combinations and development variations within an INXX type. Perhaps introverted intuition paired with Self Protective instinct.

[@carolschiffler6271]

Hi Erik, This is quite useful information. I do see a subtle difference in the realm of sensory perception. While overwhelming environments are unpleasant to my INTP self, I can handle them if I have to, (although I'd much prefer not). I have not looked into the enneagram very much, and I will have to take off down that rabbit hole now because it is just what INTP's do :-). I continue to find your videos very enlightening and your observations very astute. There are many people who do videos on this subject, but you have a depth that they seem to lack. Thank you so much for your response.

Indeed I have made that same observation myself. But it's more of an outward appearance than anything else. There are certainly major differences in the how and why. Now I'm not a medical professional so I don't feel like it's my place to talk about these differences (there's enough information to be found on the internet anyway), and I wouldn't wish to offend anyone with autism by claiming that I knew exactly what it is that goes on in their minds. And Erik already did a fine job highlighting some of these differences.

Like, I usually smile a lot when people are making announcements (and no one else is smiling - because there isn't actually a reason to, they didn't say anything funny - so I'm just looking like a complete weirdo), just because I am receiving information.

You have a wonderfully devious voice! You would be a great voice actor for a master thief in a video game!

[@shortjohnsilver4605]

Is sh0e an INTP? She strikes me as much more of an ENFP to be frank.

[@Shadow77999]

Lol sh0e

[@blueraspberrylemonade32]

Debated in other comments

[@hanro50]

The INTPs information spewing and ENTPs one sided debate monologue are almost, if not completely, the same.

[@popkhorne5372]

@@hanro50 as an intp who has done theater in front of hundreds of people, i can tell you that introversion does not really come into play with a public. You can appear confident if there is a distance. As for shoe, she could still be any of them. But i'd bet on intp.

[@alil3231]

I really feel like she is an INTP when I first started watching her, I really did feel this strong intelligent vibe from her

[@jennifergrove2368]

It would help to differentiate the introverted/extraverted/perceiving/judging facial expressions with examples. I *kind of* can visualize what you mean, but not to the full extent.

[@ErikThor]

great idea! maybe tomorrow!

[@kikid4056]

When I feel any emotion I usually never outwardly express it because it’s ether hard for me to do or I really just don’t care.

[@grishae927]

ShOeonhead is an ISFP (she said so herself) but otherwise great video

[@ErikThor]

yeah i regret that one lol

[@sherryfletcher5303]

Soo helpful! Thank u 4 taking the time 2 explain

[@asuka-ryo]

Started studying at my current Uni less than a month ago and I've been called robotic/monotous/emotionless more than 3 times already

[@horsemumbler1]

4:30 Exactly. Life is best when the muses call.

[@lamwolf1160]

Amazing and super accurate 👌

[@Skimmerlit]

You broke this down beautifully. Thanks

[@jacobvanmetre9283]

Bruh , I feel like I’m all the essential friends in the friend groups simultaneously

[@justingooligan7059]

love this .. awesome breakdown

[@sokkababy1487]

I really hate Krave, the cereal. I'm eating it right now and I just needed to get my feelings out. I've eaten it in the first time in years and it's gross. Like chocolate on corn. Also, these were all spot on.

[@KicksClique]

The hazelnut one is nice, the normal one does indeed, taste like shit.

[@bellyfulochelly4222]

Even the packaging looks gross.

[@draxthemsklonst]

Detachment. Are most INTPs enneagram 5?

[@sankalpbhardwaj1944]

Well true for me!!

[@russellclement6633]

I'd seen results of 2 studies done last year where the testers tried to see if there were strong correlations btwn MBTI & RHETI types. And--out of 50,000+ participants in each case--approx 56% were, indeed, INTP. The INTP 5 & ESFJ 2's were, interestingly enough, the only two fairly strong correlations conclusively found in both studies. (~89% of all the 5's were INTP, INTJ, or ISTP.)

[@russellclement6633]

*56% INTP 5's* I meant to say; not 56% of all the participants.

[@ClarkPotter]

5w4, yeah, but Enneagram is dumb.

[@hillaryj1285]

I have read that many INTPs are actually 9's (also 5's)..... and that they can be prone to mistyping their enneagram

[@teslaspule7833]

5:47 describes my whole life

[@JW-ki8md]

I’m an intp, and I can tell you when I learn something new that really excites me or I find a whole new way of looking at something I’ve been questioning I smile, laugh, and get very bubbly. I’m sure people look at me and ask what my problem is, “he’s always quiet” but I can’t help it lol

[@TJ_Silvester]

WTF! Read me like child's book! Fascinating! Not the first video of my MBTI type i've looked at. But certainly the first i've watched that I would confirm as indisputably accurate.

[@antoniofdez]

Is doctor House INTP? I'm INTP and I think so, but there's a great discussion on the internet including other types.

[@amandagauthier-parker1399]

Antonio Fernández Guerrero I read he was ENTP plus Asberger's. I'm happy to claim him. ;)

[@MaceLupo]

I see him as INTJ.

[@dreamwalker199]

He's an INTJ.... Extremely convinced in his speech & apparently has a superiority complex.

[@coldwelthsimms5958]

He seems so harsh with how he carries himself, so I would say intj

[@bluegiant13]

Likely more ENTP, INTPs are not as good socially as ENTPs.

[@Ray6695]

Completely unrelated but Im currently playing ff14 with a Swedish guy and and he also doesn't pronounce the 'J' how is usually is. Now this guy does the same and it's my favourite thing in the world rn lol! How come? I don't know shit about the languages in northern Europe, is the letter not used that way?

[@Istpmom]

It's a very good theory! It also make sense and there for I deeply appreciate it.

[@lovisamaanmies2983]

I don't like it when people move their hands too much when they speak. I'm an INTP, and I never move my hands (or very very rarely) when I speak, which is probably why I find it so annoying when other people do it.

[@Ignasimp]

Moving hands is usually percieved by others as being charismatic.

[@paradox9369]

Then you'd hate this INTP. 😂

[@evalinetattoo2825]

I came here to see how possibly cold I look on the outside ... a proud INTP

[@evilarchitecture]

How do you know so much? Have you interviewed loads of types?

[@ajg2004-]

This is very accurate and relatable

[@0therworldly]

You are if David Attenborough did personality typology (/very detailed insight into hidden worlds with a captivating narrative) Thanks.

[@Shayla000000]

Incredible video!

[@crazygeorgelincoln]

Truly fascinating video. . I feels really accurate, subd to see what pops up.

[@raygengamer8440]

weed kinda ruined my personality. before i was so open every joke i just went for it. sometimes it was dumb but mostly i hit it right on the button. i guess as a thinking type the weed brings it out too much. not sure but how was i once open now im closed?

[@benjaminstrudwick7368]

I just took the personality test and I felt a sense of relief when I watched a video of the main traits of an INTP.. I was thinking "finally, someone gets me!" Lol.. very interesting!😊

[@imBQL]

Thank you for sharing!

[@theoneonyoutube4925]

Hey! Can INTPs be good at other intelligences, like NJ, IS, TJ, FP, or IF?

[@ErikThor]

Hi, yes, ofcourse, but the use is usually different and for NP, IN, purposes. Like trying to employ discipline to fit your NP ideas in a traditional context (SJ)

[@theoneonyoutube4925]

Can you give me an example of how you could use SJ to serve NP?

[@edgypsych116]

What type are you?

[@ErikThor]

infj

[@edgypsych116]

Is it maybe possible for us to collaborate? I’ve always wanted to interview an infj. I know I have a smaller channel but I think it’ll be great

[@reggulus652]

Left you on read, ouch.

[@edgypsych116]

I must say, that really hurt. How will I ever recover?

[@reggulus652]

Have you considered yoga? It works especially well if you eat ice cream instead of actually doing yoga.

[@e.l.2734]

Wow, I can relate strongly to your hypothesis!

[@lavalamps7593]

Oh wow I do the the upwards head tilt. Someone mentioned it to me for the first time the other day, funny it is semi intp specific

[@MadMotoInc]

Cool video man 🤘🏽😎

[@TriviaNight]

I was tilting my head watching the video as you mentioned that.

[@theguy9067]

I found this interesting and mostly accurate. Would you mind doing one for infj?

[@giagia9746]

Thank you🙏 you are very accurate.

[@plots4]

This video kind of ties into one of the big issues I have to deal with as an INTP... I’m a terrible multitasker. Example: I’ll be watching a show with my wife (INFJ) and she will start talking. Well, I’m already focused elsewhere. It takes me a second or to to register that “oh, she’s talking” and redirect my attention. By that time, it’s too late and I’ve missed half of her opening sentence. It drives her insane and she things im ignoring her or being rude. In reality, my brain really does need that clear break to shift attention. Anyone else deal with this? I’d love to see a video about this, why it happens, and how others see it.

[@idkwtwh5031]

This is very informative Thank you 👌👏👏🙏🙏🙏

[@spinLOL533]

This makes so much sense

[@Lois_Unwordy]

The INFP KZbinr that you mention shoeOnHead (of course it is) she must be an INTP- A assertive rather than turbulent, as she seems confident. Or do I not understand this correctly? I’m INFP-T , can I change to an INFP - A ?

[@kri249]

Well that explains why I look around my surroundings all the time. I also catch myself moving my fingers in the air relaying yo what I'm imagining at the time too. I wish mbti was more commonly known so ordinary people could understand why I'm so weird to them.

[@AmyKinso]

Could you do an ISFP version of this!?❤️✨

[@lupuionut6286]

You could just use vultology... It's quite good. But you're SeFi with conscious Te there though.

[@zf5656]

Wait, you think ShoeOnHead is an INTP? I'm subbed to her, but now I'm going to have to view her as I look for clues. Hmm...
