As an ENTP it gets rlly annoying in multiple choice, because I always have the counter argument to every answer, so I always take so much more time on them

[@leannemiron]

Seriously! INTP here, but for me it's more that I can find different interpretations of the question that match up with several different answers. I had this great math class where we could define our own interpretations of the questions and then answer accordingly, and we were graded on the consistency between the two parts. I know that prof pretty well at this point, and I'm pretty sure he's also an INTP haha

@H G you might be ENTP. Its not a matter of social intra or extroversion. As an ENTP I don't fall into the social butterfly category but rather its a matter or intra or extroverted thinking. Do you like thinking within established logical frameworks or outside of established logical frameworks. Do you respect the established way of doing things and think from a default position of how can I work within this system to make it better or do you think from a position of fuck this system i wanted to break it apart and mould something better out of nothing (a bit extreme but you get the idea) To put it in filmmaking terms. If you're trying to become a filmmaker and your first instinct is i want to work my way up to being the CEO of Warner Bros and make them the best studio on the planet you're more likely INTP if you're thinking is I want to create my own studio out of nothing and make it the best studio on the planet you're more likely ENTP. Either way there's good characteristics for both.

[@gabrielchattaway1663]

Ahahaha, you got me! Just glad the cops didn't... But if they did, I suppose I could play the "colourblind" card, right? Does that apply to pedestrian crossing lights? Jokes and traumatic past experiences aside, I do spend a little bit of time calculating the risks associated with breaking a rule, but usually no more than a few seconds... Like the light... Obviously this will mean I gleam over some of the detail and accuracy that my introverted friend would more likely absorb, but hey, would they have had enough time to make it through that traffic light and over that exhilarating speed bump? We really need more speed-bumps with built in sounds when you go over them. Overused analogy (and of course that's all it is lol), but I'm sure it was helpful. It also depends on the circumstances. If it's one of those unspoken rules or social phenomena that the questioning of would be considered taboo, and as such there's no threat-level risk associated with it, I'll most likely just kick it in the guts and dump it in a trashcan like the artificial garbage it is.

[@gabrielchattaway1663]

"Most introverted extrovert". I think it depends what makes sense to us logically and how developed our Fe is... Or how much time we spend in our heads and observing the social atmosphere rather than interacting in it. As a home-schooled kid coming into high school, I was definitely much more of a quiet observer to begin with... and I also had better grades. But once I decided to start talking with classmates... Ne took the proverbial wheel. Stimulating conversations! Playful banter! Bad grades! The way I see it, and I think this would apply to other ENTPs and people in general, it's where your priorities lie. If you want to become more socially extroverted, outgoing and confident, you'll learn ways to and experiment a bit. I think experience is the main teacher with this one, just try using some Fe and see how it goes. Take mental notes, especially if you're one of them textbook argumentative types lol. If you prioritise seeking truth, information, or just your own individual hobbies, then it makes sense you won't want to socialise as much and spend more time pursuing time alone. Nothing wrong with either, just a matter of opinion.

This is the most accurate take on INTPs I’ve ever heard. I remember telling my mother that I would never get married, and was going to college for Computer Science, because computers are predictable, they make sense, and they have an answer - unlike humans. Then I discovered typology and realized that there are concrete, scientifically justifiable explanations for human behavior and it was mind blowing to me. I’ve been deeply studying this ever since. I’ve almost gotten to the point where I can have functional relationships and mutually enjoyable conversations with my siblings. Still aspiring to achieve that. Wish me luck.

I'm (I think) an INTP, but I really resonated with the "can't pick a favorite book/song/movie" from the ENTP. My theory behind this is that INTPs like consistency and unchanging systems, and there are always new movies and songs coming out. I do have favorites when it comes to things like colors and foods, because those are the types of things that don't change. Great vid as usual!

[@MrTrashcan1]

Exactly. It irritates me when they use "favorites" as security questions. Other than something like color, how could anyone possibly narrow down a favorite? And it could always change. I'd never be able to remember what I used.

[@TheSkaterjoe123]

I feel like I can relate to both aspects of ENTP and INTP. I’ve taken over 6 different variations of tests over an interval gap of 3-5 days atleast 30 times now, and frequently fluctuate between INTP or ENTP. All cognitive functions tests and I only go for the most “accurate” tests. In all my tests, my Ti and Ne are almost always EQUAL…. And my Fe is only slightly higher than my Si with my Se being weakest. Though I resonate with a lot of INTP I also resonate a lot with ENTP characteristics… especially with being able to socialize and connect with people. I am very much capable of that and have been since I was in high school, I just willingly choose to distance myself from people because I find them annoying. I also think primarily through a logical lens, and don’t really make decisions based on personal values… which I don’t really have many personal values now that I think about it. I am very understanding and always argue both sides of an argument. I like understanding things in depth, however, and love to learn for the sake of learning. Ultimately, I’m left unsure of what type I truly am

[@lovewho]

In the socionics system, INTPs have what is known as "blindspot Se" meaning that it's technically their worst function. It's also referred to as the polr function. There is a video somewhere on the channel titled something like "16 types worst function". It might be worth checking that one out and seeing which worst function is most applicable to you. That can really help you narrow down your type when you're stuck between two of them ~ Nathan

[@TheSkaterjoe123]

@@lovewho I’ll definitely check it out, much appreciated 🙏🏽

[@dab0331]

Look up and understand the concepts of 1st and 3rd function looping, being in the grip of your inferior function, demon functions, and your blind spot/worst function (which surprisingly isn't your demon function). Your weaknesses will show you the answer when your preferences won't. INTP's tend to be the most introverted of the introverts (only close match is INTJ's) and also tend to be the most "absent minded" and will often get called out by their friends and peers when they zone out and everyone else in conversing. Why? Because our function loop is Ti and Si, so since Ti requires introverted thinking we will get sucked into thinking about something that's happened in the past (Si) or a problem that needs solving, and will have a blank look on our face like we're high or a yogi in mahasamadhi. ENTP's loop is different; it's Ne looping with Fe. Here's a good explanation I found for them: When ENTPs get in a loop, they chase after ideas but they're also easily swayed by outside opinion. They get stuck in idea-generation and buzz from the people around them without accepting input from their thinking side

[@eddie7252]

Honestly, even as an INTP, I kinda love chaos. except in important things like work, that is strussful. However, I love chaos because it gives me new things to look at and figure out. Its a very INTP way to look at it but honestly chaos provides something new. I love figuring things out.

Based on this video alone, I think I've been mistyped as INTP for years where I may actually be an ENTP.

I used to strongly identify as INTP abut after watching this I might be ENTP, what made me think this was the chaos part. I love chaos and when something new happens, even if it’s bad. Like if one of my family members got arrested I would just be so intrigued rather than worried because usually the same shit happens everyday, so when something new happens I always get excited and happy, even though I usually don’t have the balls to actually make something different happen. Also I identify as an ambivert, because in most situations I keep quiet if I’m in a place or group with a lot of people, but I enjoy coming up to individual people who I find interesting to talk to. So I might be ENTP

[@spacesimp]

I relate to that, and I’m definitely an INTP. I’m also very chaotic in group situations, and yes, I do approach people I find interesting. I think INTPs love chaos to a point too-they like routine daily life with a sprinkle of chaos in between. For ex, if something dramatic happens every day, we’ll get annoyed. I think ENTPs are more likely to enjoy that sort of chaos daily. I really like world shaking stuff happening and it really makes me sit up and go enthusiastic, but if that happens daily, I think I’ll be annoyed and won’t even care anymore.

God, ENTP makes so much sense! I've genuinely been angry with exam feedback because I do psychology and you need such specific things in your answers. Heck, wording things slightly wrong can turn your potential A grade into an F. Misunderstand a question a bit so you mention stuff which is slightly what isn't being asked for? You clearly know nothing about psychology. Like, "Explain how the psychodynamic approach explains personality". There are multiple psychodynamic theories which explain personality in my course. So I assume I have to broadly talk about all of them. Well, no. The question was secretly asking for a detailed (ew) explanation on one single theory. But you have to guess what that theory is. So, I accidentally showed more knowledge than I was supposed to, and got no marks for my answer. Great. :) And yes, screw feeling comfortable on choosing your values instead of changing like the weather.

[@gopolon638]

It seems to me that the type of personality can change according to the mood. Like what kind of cognitive functions are there? For entp and intp, they are the same, only they stand in a different sequence. So what prevents a intp who has had a good night's sleep on a day off, who has cleaned his teeth and washed his head since morning, who has eaten normally and is fastidious, who has understood the importance of human relationships in our biological form of social beings, from simply taking and... *bang* turn into an entp. After all, the 16 personality types of Maers-Briggs are just a theory based on how people behave in a given situation. Extrovert/introvert, sensory/intuitive, thinking/feeling, planning/adapting - all this is variable. Yes, someone likes to communicate more, someone less. Someone plans more, someone less. This is what the personality type is built on. But all this is so relative that sometimes it ceases to make sense. In general, to all Maers-briggs fanatics who cannot stop typing everything in a row, I will give advice: "pay attention not to one of the specific 16 personality types, but to one of 4: I forgot what the names are, in short, purple, green, blue and yellow." Because the types of personalities within these four differ so little and depend on such relative and variable things that it's just silly to try to meticulously pinpoint one of the sixteen. (changed) I am an analitic who has tried to define my personality type unambiguously. And sorry for google translate.

I really like your vision on the MBTI system. I was always a bit dismissive of personality tests, untill I did this rather short personality type test which had some really great points about how I interacted with the world. Really interesting that with this small amount of questions you can be this accurate, but at the same time, a personality/human life has so much more dimensions which you can never include in a test. If I can speak for my own situation. I had a traumatic experience following with long term sickness. This changed my way of behaving with the world to introverted. Now as I'm finally getting better my extraverted tendencies are coming back. Again, Great work Nathan. Keep sharing those thoughts, I'm really interested in how you look at these things.

Dude according to MBTI, that is impossible. You may have taken the 16 personalities test or is going by its guidelines. ENTP: Loves debate and exploration of ideas. Less interested in settling down into a fixed conclusion. INTP : Not really interested in debate but very interested in the exploration and more importantly codification of ideas in their head. More comfortable with settling into a fixed view regarding the functioning of the universe. Which do you relate with more is most probably your type. Of course there is more details involved but this is an important stepping stone to differentiate between the two types.

[@bearilliantbear1769]

I look at these personality tests as more of a fun pass time to ponder about myself, although its interesting when you talk about extrovert and introvert not mattering quite as much. Out of curiosity I took the test for the third time last night (half a sleep mind you) and I got INTP. The interesting part is that in highschool I was INTP, but when I was in college I turned ENTP according to the test. I had more social situations where I had to be quite involved for several years. After that and things quieted down in my life, I guess I moved back into introversion. So I inference that that E and I factor may be subject to change throughout ones life. Not that other parts couldn't, but that seems like the most fluid one.

For example, I am a "creative," in writing and design... I can get pretty emo in prose and also really require an aesthetic environment, which is a bit s.

I appreciate the depth you went into here. Usually, I just hear things like "When you're not sure, you're an ENTP", because apparently INTPs are more introverted then most introverts. And I used to be, but I got sick of Ti-Si loops, and have learned to embrace Ne and Fe more. In certain social environments now, I don't get drained anymore. Supposedly types aren't suppose to change though, so I was very baffled. Your description made it quite clear that I'm really just an INTP that is becoming more social. Chaos is ultimately what drains me, in fact its that element of social interaction that forces me to leave and recharge, which is why I can talk one on one for hours now or get energized coming out of philosophy class. The issue isn't people, it's external stimuli. I So clearly I'm not an ENTP. Problem solved. Thanks for keeping it simple.

@@multicrogamer Yeah, I could see that. Others are more shadow focused as well. I know an INTJ that is firmly on his way to being able to access Te, Ti, and Ne on near equal levels as his Ni. So I could see him becoming a sort of xNTx mega type.

If you are sure you are definitely one of these two types, but not sure which one, think about the Fe/Si. Do you feel your Si is pretty good but your Fe is annoying, etc? then you're intp. If you feel you are better with people, but less organized, etc, then you're entp.

It makes me restless that there is a system for people and it might not excite me anymore if I get to understand it. So I'm watching videos like with this lingering anxiety). I found myself being comforted by the idea that phenomenon that involves humans and their behavior are something that cannot be fully systematized, bit by bit. Hence I calm myself by just telling myself that there are great amount of things left to be known and will never run out of things to discover as new things will emerge out of all the existing things. I go by this quote that says "life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already knew"(The exploration on the understanding of things and ideas in this material world) YET sometimes, I also go by this one as well, "Meaning makes a great many things endurable -perhaps everything" (Maybe this one gives me comfort when my Ti Ne suddenly gets hit by my Si and makes me overwhelmed) These 2 really give me a pat on the back.

What happens to INTPs when confronted with inherently fluid frameworks, the kind which only work when chaos is included as part of the scenario?

I am aware I can sometimes lack foundation and my ideas come off as vague compared to other INTPs. But I still think Ti is my primary function.

The problem is that chaos excites me but then I get absolutely NOTHING done... or if i do this is accidentally and what I did to procrastinate (I only rly work on what I'm supposed to if there's not enough stimulation n so I need ANY intellectual challenge, so then I do the work). I am a bit more people-focused than the regular INTP but I do get exhausted and taking care of them is not healthy to me mentally. And I'm not as well spoken as the avg ENTP, I can stutter and get into meandering tangents, completely losing my listener, very often. Maybe that's just ENTP with mental illness, or a hypomanic INTP? Hell if I know. Though I am very good at lying and spotting weakness, maybe that is an ENTP trait. And I can't imagine not interacting with people for more than a day.

If I/E is on a normal curve, which is undoubtedly true, most people are in the middle and would probably step between the two types at least occasionally.
