The INTP is worthy: Why your Ni critic is wrong

You can contact me at [e-mail] for any business inquiries, questions, or stories! You may be featured in a video sometime in the future!
Today I discuss the detrimental effect that Ni critic has on the INTP's life and why it is in your best interest to reject this.
Topics include:
The INTP using their Ti hero (and Ne) to solve their personal problems
Short overview of the INTP's cognitive function stack
What the Ni cognitive function is exactly
Why the Ni critic that INTP's have is so detrimental to our lives
Ways to reject the Ni critic using your Ti hero and Ne parent
I apologize for how long this video is. Did not intend for it to be this long.
However I hope it is helpful for you and thank you for watching!

My Ti is just possibilities ....so I hated it that people stopped me from doing it , it's so fun to me to use my ti in my head, until now I'm trying to fix me more and I recognised why I had these reactions from others ( they just don't get then I won't even look at their side ). So I hope I'd improve more and more inchallah ( I'm still stuck tho but it will better inchallah)

INTJ here. Ni hero. It’s funny that you bring up the Ni critic for INTP. I find that I keep asking him... “What do you want? Why aren’t you taking the steps to get it?” He will always respond by saying, “I don’t feel I deserve it. I should (deny myself) do this first or that instead.” Then I would tell him, “That’s not really what you want. Why not create a plan to get what you actually want?” So my Ni hero has been helping him but it’s like pulling taffy... it just takes so long to get him to action. We do compliment each other well. His strengths are my weaknesses and my strengths are his weaknesses. We have so much potential together. And he’s, he is extremely and fiercely loyal to me! He’s a great INTP bf!

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

I love INTJs! Yes an INTP should be very compatible with you, especially if you can understand each other like it sounds you do. I would suggest to keep on him to improve these lesser traits. It will likely make him feel better and move towards reaching his potential.

Good advice. Ti is about logic. Logic states if logic can't solve the problem you need to go to the tool in your stack that can. When I was looking for a girlfriend I knew logic and Si comfort weren't going to get me what I wanted, but Fe charisma and Ne humor might. If we can transition to our ESFJ subconscious we have all the tools, just less developed.

Yes you need to reject it. This is something I think is VERY important for INTPs but just know you can do it, if you just use your Ti to CONFIRM you need to do this, and then use Ne to find ways to do this. Thanks for watching!

[@hunter7nine]

Great video and analysis. You're right about Ti as a hero function. When paired with Ne, it is like a gift from the gods. Like any INTP, I've always struggled to get started or to see something to the finish by sheer willpower alone. What I've found helps is essentially leaping into an activity when my Ne-interest is peaking and then binding myself with Fe-like social commitments that I feel I can't back out of, especially if I've tied them to my self identity, which is bound to Ti (i.e. "yes, of course I can draft that paper and get it to you by x deadline - this stuff is easy for me..."). There's a little braggadocio going on there, but there's also no way I'm going to fail in the task if it means the Fe tribe is going to think I'm stupid or not gifted. I'm an INTP, so of course it means that it takes me two weeks of procrastinating and watching videos on KZbin and then working furiously through the night the day before it's due, but I've learned to trust that powerful Ti/Ne combo to do what it does best in the sub-conscious, so when I'm up against a deadline I can just crank out the work. Eventually it becomes habit and you can rise above the pointless, menial jobs and tasks that young INTPs think will forever be their lot in life. There's a great poem by Charles Bukowski that I think gets right to the heart of your message in this video... good stuff for any INTP or INFP to consider: The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them. you can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you.

Man... You are in my mind. Ni critic does hold me back. Willpower is tough. And the one thing that really resonated was being critical of my own intentions. Like, I analyze why I do what I do.

You're probably the best INTP channel on youtube, and it's definitely cool to hear from another INTP named Tyler. I'd like to hear your thoughts on a topic, specifically the idea of figuring out what, as an INTP, one would truly want. I can come up with solutions all day, but it's one question that vexes me every day, overcoming the idea of "what exactly is it that I truly want?" It's probably Ni causing so much self doubt, but I was wondering if you might have some wisdom on that front as well, perhaps in a video of yours I just haven't watched yet.

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

Great idea I will have to think about that. Thanks!

[@sust8n]

Would be great to here your thought on using Ni is a positive way (specifically the INTP way) to help us figure out what we DO truly want. I've had problems with this, as when I ask myself "what do I really want?" I can immediately ask "but why should i want that?". I guess it's the Ti/Ne combo looking at every possibility and second guessing any desires with an Ni critic. How do you go down the existential rabbit hole with Ti logic and return with a good answer that is actually motivating for action in real life? Just a simple little problem!

[@shawnmuench]

Nice-- this helps me get the whole self abnegation thing-- CONSTANT self abnegation. Then the avoidance of all personal preferences is amplified by tier 8 Fi, so self knowledge is distant (or right in front of me if I LOOK). And the Ni critic stuff is cool to hear because I've always looked very closely at my own shortcomings, and give other people room in arguments, which is a luxury they take advantage of. If they lack wide cognition, they won't even realize they're dominating the conversation because I'm allowing them to, despite knowing every problem I see in their approach. They don't realize my silence comes from intense analysis of personal conceits I'm avoiding. Ni also makes me fail to say things because I think they'll be obvious, since I devalue my thinking. But every time I'm vocal about simple ideas, they're mindblowing to others. If you're an INTP and can be matter of fact about saying your thoughts (be nonchalant!), they're usually completely insightful to others even though they're banal to you. But nothing is grosser than displaying smartness, especially with benign thinking, so be conversational always. Have your thinking be an insane superpower with a completely simple/6th grade level verbalization. Go for ease and say the first thing. Don't hesitate for words or verbiage either.

[@jamesmalonda1521]

Great stuff man. I'm really enjoying this series of videos. I can't believe how incredibly useful and important it is to pay attention to your shadow functions. And from my experience, the community has tended to be a bit stingy about information like this until quite recently. I only realized after just watching this video, how much I've been criticizing my wants, desires, and intentions. I thought it was just me living in a Ti-Si loop and being too lazy. But it may actually be the reason we get stuck in the loop in the first place is because of the Ni critic. Maybe we should call it the Ti-Si-Ni Loop. So many missed opportunities and wasted time... Not anymore. And I know it's not a pep talk (I hate pep talks if they aren't backed by logic), but it really lit a fire up my ass! So thank you again. I look forward to your next video.

Thank you for shedding light on this. This is exactly my dilemma and why it’s so hard to move forward. Ti is definitely key. We need to have strong reasons in order to stay motivated. We’re not meant to rely solely off faith and hope. We need more evidence that we will get the results we are looking for. Having a solid game plan for all aspects of life can help us to let go and trust the process more. Ultimately, we can just be in the moment and hammer out work once we trust that we’ve made that right decisions.

A great solution on several levels...virtual high 5! It jogged my memory of something Abraham Lincoln did during the Civil War. He was intensely frustrated with a general's performance. Lincoln penned a letter to the general in which is voiced his frustrations plainly and clearly. Lincoln didn't send out the letter. It was found in his desk after his death. Ole Abe gave his frustrations a safe space to be expressed and could move on to other things and that energy wouldn't hijack him at some random moment. On another level -- this practice puts one in an observer mode with the critic. Kinda sitting side-by-side with part of ourselves. In Carl Jung's pyschology, we have a cast of inner character who all need to be heard...and when they are ignored or suppressed they revolt directly or indirectly. Kudos for coming up with this solution. Ole Abe and Dr. Jung are giving you *the nod*

Stopping and thinking how this action will affect other people is a good thing. But out of balance it is paralyzing. That is not good either.

Great video, very informative and structured. I wanted to make a comment on the fact that you kept repeating how Ni critic is probably the worst critic function. I am also an Si child (INFP), and I relate heavily to the struggles you mentioned regarding Ni critic. However, we have to be aware of the innate solipsism that accompanies Si child, we are entirely unaware of what other people are experiencing. I believe that each of the cognitive attutides are condusive for every type. Sure, society may accept some than others, like an Se critic for example. But nonetheless, they all provide the same frustration & hardship to the individual. The person I am dating has Ne critic, and it manifests in OCD-esque behavior, and lots of paranoia.

That has always given me the drive to be better and do better...that is a goal or target that I make for myself and that fuels me to pursue or be diligently apply myself every day to become better at what I set or want to set myself out to do...if I want to read more...study more..train more. That is the TI trick that I use to motivate myself. Have a pleasant day Sincerely,

Thank you!

If Ni is the source of willpower . From where do we get our willpower ? Because sometimes we get some burts of willpower that make us move the mountains .

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

Ni is actually not too low for INTPs it is just something we criticize.

[@dxfifa]

Ne and Si does it all, new ideas that feel exciting but make sense based on our Si patterns and that we feel comfortable with the steps.

[@dxfifa]

@@intpsurvivalguide2473 We don't use Ni except when we would give up but the problem is urgent, we use Si and think that it's Ni, and because we misidentify our Si as Ni we treat it as a new idea that needs Ne run on it anyway, not realising our Ne and Si already made the idea some time ago but we'd forgotten about it. By the very nature of it, genuine Ni is both shocking to an INTP, and usually very poor due to lack of Se. This exact process is how we update our Si patterns The smarter you are as an INTP, the more this false Ni that is actually incredibly deep Ne converted into Si, usually with ideas we rejected or deemed unimportant. But think about it, we've all thought about almost everything at one time or another and analysed it. It doesn't just cease to be because the actual idea isn't consciously accessible, the pattern that the brain recognised is still there. INTPs tend to be the best type at pattern recognition on IQ tests for a reason. The only time an INTP gets true Ni is when something is so foreign or confusing we do not have an Si pattern to use and Ti and Ne have no answers. You know that rare feeling when you just don't get "why" in a class and it feels like your IQ dropped by 50 points and you get a headache because you're trying to focus really hard on the material and just get it instead of being able to work it out? That's Ni and Se trying (usually very poorly) to get the information Ti needs to solve the problem because Ne and Si have failed and it needs to be done now. I get this all the time with physical tasks I don't conceptually understand

[@meregaming1770]

I have very strong willpower, doesn't help you figure out what you want. Not even a little.

[@BrandonYates]

It's really amazing to come across another INTP who came to so many of the same conclusions as me. Do you act them out in practice? My fellow INTP friends often make me question my own typing, seeing them trapped in a lot of the INTP pitfalls that I somehow managed to (mostly) avoid. I think a motivated INTP can find success in anything they choose to do, as long as they actually _do_ it.

[@FindingYourSerenity]

I wonder if this is why there's quite a lot of INFJs and INTJs working for themselves - I've seen several on KZbin. I want to do it (not (YT) but can't seem to do it and I am now blaming my NI critic. Thanks for another informative video :)

[@MaceLupo]

Oh boy my Si and Ni are in war with each other sometimes because of this: "Ok we do what you want even if I do not feel good about it" But there is also this: "Damn I got what I want but nobody else enjoys it "

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

I want to call you on being a doctor. I'm probably not the only INTP that is a slow reader because they get sidetracked fully digesting what they read and probably not being able to cover everything needed for a doctorate. Or even to get through the topics that hold no special interest to our intellectual curiosity.

[@jaredvaughan1665]

Good Chanel.

[@perjohanaxell9862]

I think this is most destruktive in combination with inferior fe. It sometimes makes me far to willing to sacrifice what I want dor others. One step for me has been to at least say what I want even if I let the other person have it there way. Then at least the other person knows I made a sacrifice for you.

[@scientia49]

audiobooks and text-to-speech software are very good ways to listen to books/articles without reading (can be doing something else at the same time and learning in the background)

[@georgexm2032]

13:32 our* otherwise, your videos are very helpful and enlightening, friend. Thanks.

[@Ahmed-xg5nj]

Listen friend. I really appreciate you discussing this topic. However, I don’t see the fact that we lack in a function, to be a flaw. Just because we can improve something does not mean that we should. I only watched till minute 12 so maybe that’s the reason we are not on the same page. The reason why I feel strongly about this, is that for quite some time, I tried to improve my fe strongly, because I felt there’s something “wrong” with me. The Ni critic actually saved my life. It told me that what I was going after is not what I should go after. Without it... to this day I would probably be chasing Fe development which is not so good, because we should learn to embrace our strong points more than try to improve ourselves. I know you try to teach with perfect intentions. I just wanted to share this information with you as a person, so that you can maybe learn to embrace all your functions AND the way that they are stronger than one another. I’d focus on just living and accepting myself than just trying to improve a “flawed?” sense of self. We are great the way we are. Ni may be a good wake up call to us, as nothing in the world really matters. NJ’s have high Ni because they do in fact believe that things really matter. I don’t think we do. For example... if I ask you how important your channel is to your life goals right now, and what it would take you to remove it. An NJ would be like “no way on earth because ___ ___ ____”. I’m sure if you aren’t working on function development, you would answer closely to saying it’s not really essential to anything. Because you don’t need anything other than food and water. Even that can be hacked. :)

[@hassan-esabbah4913]

you changed my mind almost after 3 years of being single minded

[@decomp8641]

All you want in the end is a smile on your face

[@theyetti90]

11:10 I resonated with this so much. It's always blown my mind when people are just like, "Let's surrender to this horrible BS."😂

[@toastbr0ti]

I think Ni is actually very useful in causing that frugal lifestyle you describe, I wouldn't get rid of that personally, even with the negatives.

[@dustinhawkins7634]

hello ive just recently found out about the Ni critic yes it is very detrimental it doesnt let us trust our instinct, doesnt let us even try to predict whats behind, we didnt want the assuming part. Ni, though is assuming. it is willpower as u said. and this willpower is supposed to project onto us how we will achieve stuff. it is the great intuition of jumping to conclusion, so im not sure if im being wrong here, but im still seeing a bit of reason to be careful in jumping in conclusion. next, PLEASE i would like to see an INTP to ENTJ trandformation guide. I believe the ENTJ shadow will help to be an executor of (heads) the project we will deem worthy. NxJ is the side of personalities that executes. now, im requesting for you to share something maybe a how to be ENTJ as INTP etc. Thank you this was great content.

[@hoaly57]

Pretty easy, you just need a force from outside. For ex, your family need your money support and the responsibility has to fall on only you and you must do it no matter what. You will then have to come up with best solution then a plan to execute and execute it like an entj.

[@davspa6]

One small challenge, you mentioned one time that you don't want to study, to finish those books that you had started, because you didn't want to do the work. Later I think you said because you didn't think you were worth it. But you did mention because you didn't want to do the work. Is not wanting to do the work also a function of the Si child, who doesn't want to leave his comfort zone? Or maybe I don't understand the Ni-critic properly...

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

It is more the Si child I believe.. but Ni is also about finishing something once you start it. Ni dominants will see something through to the end because they almost have to. I think it is a bit of both. Good question

[@saranonimus9211]

One of my three kids is an INTP, and I kind of envy him, because I didn't have an INTP parent to identify with. 😬😂

[@Entyipo]

Leaving a comment. Don't mind me

[@theyetti90]

Here are some benefits from chat GPT Providing a sense of direction and purpose for the INTP’s exploration of ideas and possibilities with Ne and Ti. Helping the INTP to narrow down options and make decisions based on their long-term vision and goals. Allowing the INTP to critique and improve their own or others’ work by pointing out flaws, inconsistencies, or gaps in logic. Enhancing the INTP’s creativity and imagination by generating alternative scenarios, perspectives, or interpretations of reality.

[@501Labs]

Appreciate you for this dude ✌🏽... Time to activate God mode while feeling bad about being able to do that haha ... honestly tho ... thank you 😁

[@Jay-el9iz]

Thank you for your video. I'd like to add some perspective to your video because I don't think some of the info is right. For instance you talked about INTJ and the relationship between introverted intuition and willpower. However, the willpower doesn't come from the cognitive function itself, it comes from the individual accepting its pull. Just like other types, many INTJs feel stuck, procrastinate, suffer from diseases and mental health fluctuations. A person grounded in themself and their cognitive preferences will come off as confident and/or unapologetic regardless of the type.

[@questinpodcast]

Wow, interesting explanation of Ni. As an INFJ female, I feel attacked yet reassured about my personality hahaha

[@intpsurvivalguide2473]

You INFJs are an interesting bunch! Thanks for watching!

[@jaredvaughan1665]

I think we should be critical of many of our dreams as unrealistic. We should only go with our Ni dream if it is the best Ne option. If we are Si capable and/or should be doing it. If we are Fe helping others and making sufficient Te $ while doing it. Then if it falls within those categories can our dream become reality.

[@somebody7826]

Oh shit this describes me better than it should...

[@TWDEColtBlooded]

14:00 I do this almost every time not just food however I have said these words verbatim 😅

[@ArayaLight]

Nailed it on the critic part. I hate it!
