[@BREAKOUT444]

Oh, I have. She was my bass player. She's no longer in the band.

[@Boy10Dio]

xD

[@Flamable1]

I think I have. As an INTP it feels like everything you say is an important truth that needs to be put out into the universe, when I have had deep conversations with heavy Ti users it's like rapid fire statements of truth, to see who can be the most profound. We rarely say much that the other hasn't already considered, so we don't have an exchange of ideas, more of a comparison of ideas. It's exhausting, and it doesn't feel like you are making any sort of connection, it's almost like you are arguing with a super fast responding AI robot (and i feel i turn into one too!) To have a connection one side has to receive what the other is giving, but INTP already has what I have (for the most part)... not saying there is zero value in intp-intp discussion, but on the whole the chemistry is just off

[@joshuaarnold1895]

@@igglywompus Spiral dynamics is a scientific theory that explains how different people and different societies exist at different levels and what they can do to evolve. You as an INTP have huge potential to see much bigger picture of the world than an average person. Once You understand how the world works it is much easier to blend in and find your spot in it.

I think we are easy targets because we are not always on the defense like other in the moment types, rather our minds are constantly distracted. Also, the Si child is punk rock and can take that beating. So it's the path of least resistance for the perp. We end up being socially engineered in the pejorative at a young age with no healthy way to escape or defend ourselves.

No true comraderie and cosmic nihilism, what a bad hand. I never lose debates though so I can suck myself off about meaningless victories straight on to my final dusk.

[@bentooh2371]

As an INTP with an ENTJ father, I feel like my growth as a person has been very well nurtured and supported.

[@teresabakalarska6001]

INTP + INTP agreeeeeed, though it's more like I can see through the other INTP and easily find the things I don't like about myself in them; kind of like I can see what they are hiding, how they are putting on a show, bcz I do it the same way. It's really tiring, just beeing in the same space. ENTPs are interesting but from a distance/in discussion, I see that they lack loyalty and are too chaotic. Like you know, not the fun kind of chaotic, but rather "I just hit you with my war tank and didn't notice' kind of chaotic.

[@danielbird1907]

I hung out with another INTP a couple times and I was like “my showy telling of all the shit I learned doesn’t faze you because you understand every bit of it” because I can almost always grasp any concept someone throws at me. and when she started using semi-purposefully obfuscating language explaining a concept I was like “fuck, we both know you could have described that in human words. “ bc I LOVE using big words I google every single word I don’t know.

[@jasong.charles8849]

As an INTP, I am actually incredibly fascinated by ENTPs. As much as I do very strongly value loyalty and going easy on people, I similarly value the blunt honesty of ENTPs and really feel that if I put the effort into any sort of relationship with one, that I could carry a very strong bond with one.

[@savvageorge]

I enjoy watching KZbin videos from ENTPs. They are awesome at presenting information and I can actually understand what they are trying to say. Sometimes I struggle to follow the logic of INTJs and ENTJs.

[@wanderingspirit7278]

I think that my brother is an ENTP, we clash all the time, I can't stand him because of how argumentatif he is, you ask him for a glass of water he wouldnt shut up about why he shouldn't be the one getting it, and he likes to play pranks on me all the time just to see my reaction. Honestly, it sucks.

[@LBI-oe7dj]

I would say ENTPs are anything but not unloyal, so you should consider more before you judge something

[@Flamable1]

I'm an INTP and love how ENTJ's make me feel, they are fun, open minded, silly, and VERY willing to listen to my crazy thoughts. I'm dating an ISFP and in terms of personal growth for both of us, it feels powerful, there is an understanding of each other, and ourselves that is apparent despite our very different ways of sensing reality. However my best friend is an ESTJ, whom with there is clearly some jarring in the ways we deal with each other, but when he is in his INFP subconscious there is nobody in my life that I can have better philosophical conversations with Thank you for the free content, I've only found MBTI stuff in the last week but I can already see how valuable this will be for the rest of my life. You are making ripples of knowledge and understanding through the universe that will last for generations. As you know, if an INTP makes a compliment, they really mean it!

I am INTP female, and my boyfriend of 3 years is also INTP. We are also fairly compatible comrades because I let him be the boss unless he is incorrect about something. 😌 It works because it is a long distance relationship: We are both reclusive loners and like-thinkers who don't have to dress up unless we want to. We don't worry about loyalty and have zero relationship drama. Except when we get together we argue freely about stuff like how to pack the car, but we don't have to be right, we are aiming for the best answer. Anyway, thank you for your videos which are witty, wise, and spot-on for me.

[@jammiemoore1906]

Yup! As an INTP female I would totally date another INTP. I am good friends with 2. We don’t clash at all. In fact it’s more creepy because we are more like clones and will say things in unison like twins do 😅 INTPs are very good at adapting because like he said, we respond. Some personalities it just won’t work. But most NT types are compatible with each other for both relationships and friendships.

It means I don't have have to make decisions...I can just sit in my own mind and let her decide what we are watching or eating or what stupid store she wants to walk around for an hour. She loves the control and I love not having the control. It works out great. I could see myself marrying an ENTJ because I'm attracted to bossy guys too.

[@TomiAdewoleAdetom]

This was so illuminating! Years ago in college, my best friend and roommate (an ENTJ who was somehow making $65,000 a year as a 20 year-old student working part time for a financial firm lol) and Iwent to see a movie; he brought along his cousin, who was almost certainly an INTJ. It was fun - even exciting, as I didn't get out much outside of class and the various campus libraries. When we got to the theater, the INTJ noticed the projector light and commented on how the light particles were in a stream; being a physicist, I could not help but launch into an explanation of how photons "like to be together" and why. Before we knew it, we were fully engaged in an exhilarating talk/lecture as he asked all types of questions on fundamental particles. It's like the rest of the room around us disappeared and we were the only ones in there talking. I distinctly recall (with quite a bit of bemusement as I sit here typing lol) my ENTJ friend being quite agitated with us, explaining more than a few times "yo fellas - there are girls all around here looking at y'all...looking at _us_ . Please stop, guys." We took a moment to register his concerns, with me thinking "It'll all be over soon" (with 'soon' capable of taking on almost any value _x_ ) before diving right back into the strange theory of light and matter. It is so funny when I think back at the horrified expression on the ENTJs face, along with the bevy of nondescript eyes looking at us. It's funny because he and I had had plenty of those kinds of talks in the dorm room, often for hours. Of course, there weren't any pretty women around then lol. I enjoyed those few minutes before the movie started thoroughly, although it was more of a lecture than a traditional discourse - but I very much valued how the computer programmer INTJ mostly asked the right questions, which usually only seemed to happen (in my previous albeit limited experience) with ENTPs. For example, most people will ask a question like "Do you you think we're a computer simulation" instead of the vastly better question "what, insofar as you can discern, is the difference between a computer simulation and 'reality'?" You might really consider putting a Paypal link in the Description box along with the others. This insightful lecture, at the very least, is worth a couple of cups of coffee.

[@danielwalley6554]

Interesting thing, at least for myself as an INTP... my internal reaction when someone says they love me is along the lines of "That's nice I guess... and thanks... but... so?". And I think that illustrates where we get into trouble. Then again, I do feel warm and fuzzy when someone says it in person... So it could be the rationality analyzing it - and brace yourself, this is the cold critical side of us, no offence intended - right now it's going "this is some random person on the Internet, telling other random people on the Internet she loves them... she's really just talking about her feelings towards an abstract concept, rather than us as people. Not interested!". And that really illustrates where we get into trouble! We constantly have two choices: drop ugly rationality bombs like that, or put on a social mask that says "yes thank you for your love! (that I secretly see as insincere)". Learning how to be able to share what we really think... without alienating others... is an art form that can take us many years to learn. BUT - if you do love some real INTP people in your life, they're very grateful for it - especially if you love them for who they *really* are, which includes the above type of disposition. INTP's are intimately familiar with being unappreciated by others for their frankness, so those who appreciate it matter a lot to them. And if you still like INTPs after reading the above, maybe your comment was sincere after all :P.

I just can't have good relationships with SF's, people either have that sweet sweet N or the cold T, if they don't have any of those, I instantly dislike them, specially SFJ's.

I feel you are correct in compatibility as in, how they are now; right out of the gate- but I believe if one is to factor in growth and development, the INFJ and INTP are the best for each other. An ENTJ isn't going to build an INTP's desperate need to develop emotional intelligence and inner calm. INFJs have the patience and listening capacity needed for a relationship with an INTP.

[@mari401430]

I’m an INTP who recently got out of engagement with an INFJ and started seeing an ENTJ. The INFJ I was with was very unhealthy, so I will account for this. I enjoyed the affection of the INFJ but, hated the lack of logic and tendency for emotional manipulation. I haven’t know the ENTJ for very long but, he is so incredibly sufficient. I feel like I don’t have to worry about his logic or decisions. This is what I crave, feeling like the other person can drive the ship I’m building.

The communication thing is very true. I go to my INTP sister for ideas for my sculptures alllll the time. Her suggestions are usually super helpful. It doesn't always end with me adding a jet pack to something, but you never know! Looking back, I can see that we had a really rocky relationship with each other when we were younger. She would say something like, "You don't actually believe that do you? That's so stupid!" That, of course, wasn't very pleasant, so I just walked away and made crafts by myself. After a long night of argument, we came to terms and built things back up again. Communication is sooo key. I cannot drill this into people enough times, haha.

I met a great ESFP and I rewatched some of those videos and now we have a fantastic friendship that I am really grateful for.

me and my dad are both intps, and I find the only way I can have a good relationship with him is to (painfully) listen to what he has to say, or remind me of/to do, even though I mostly find it obvious and slightly offensive because he thinks that I don't know it already. He also never really listens to what I have to say, and it feels like he assumes I'm dumb. However I know this is how he shows he cares about me, so at the end of the day I appreciate it.

ISFP's can say stuff everyone is thinking but can't put into words. ENTP's are open minded, creative, keep things interesting and are great friends to talk to. An ENTP and INTP as friends can expand on ideas and improove them on an infinite level. Some can be annoying and you avoid them or you're great friends with them. Good debates too. Two or more INTP's creates an INTP super Nova of Ideas. ISTP's blows an INTP's theries and limiting beliefs out of the water. Wow that's possible! I really can do that to! Awesome! I really need to remove limiting believes and possibles. ENTJ/INTJ - Open Minded, gives space, can accept new ideas, gives good feed back, improves the mood of a room, logical while having a good ballance of emotions too. Good to talk to. INFP - Too much emotion Intensity but their cool to hang around and are inspiring with how they keep trying from failure to success and are very open. INTP's are INFP magnets for some reason. ISTJ- Closed Minded, Ridged hate spontaneous changes. INTP's don't get along. ISFJ- Respectable, Speaks their mind. If you or society goes rouge with open mindedness and crazy ideas an ISFJ is a good anchor point to reset back to common sense if they have good values. INTJ's - Either I don't like you for some reason even though we're both quiet. Or we get along great. You're a genius. ESFJ - Hell

When they can not agree on some subject, they ask my opinion. Even if ENTP's argument seems more logical, I use my vote for ENFP by supplying more strong argument (to troll ENTP). Then ENFP really defends himself (he definitely used my arguments better than me against ENTP). However, ENTP's endleess patience for discussion is worth to see :) If I support ENTP, however, ENFP could able change the subject skillfully:) or simply accept he might be wrong then change the subject. Anyway, I like the friendship of ENTP-ENFP guys.

I'm a mature male INTP and I struck up a friendship with a mature woman, who is an ESFP. I was immediately attracted to her and tried to see if she might be interested in me, as well. We hit it off as friends and I'm trying to accommodate her needs with my attentiveness, doing favors and little things she needs like planting trees in her backyard and stuff like that. On the downside, we don't (or didn't) seem to understand each other at all. I've tried to improve on that through some research (and this video helped, a lot). I don't want to "come off" as some arrogant jerk so how do I ease the ESFP into simply looking at the research that suggests we might be complimentary? For example, I can see, with 100% clarity now, how my super - attentiveness feeds her need for attention. But when we try to have a conversation, we either end up talking over each other or she ends up personally offended by a perceived slight that wasn't or when it finally reaches "my turn" to talk, the main subject matter has entirely changed again. It feels like a slow death to me right now but I'd really love to see it work out.

[@max-fj7np]

This is totally anecdotal, but Im an INTP who used to have an INTP roommate and our relationship was nothing like how this video portrayed 2 INTPs to interact with each other. I think it comes down to having Fe in our stacks, but we rarely criticized each other on ideas as a principle, rather we heard each other out and entertained the ideas the other person had and never got in arguments over ideas, or resorted to name calling, or personal attacks ever. We had so many unspoken principles between us that we both followed but never had to say that there was rarely (if ever) an argument between us.

I am a female INTP with an ESFP boyfriend. Conceptually, I never imagine myself dating an ESFP but here I am dating one and worrying about our long term future because I have learnt from the many other sources that theoretically we N types should go for other N types so we can relate on our abstract thoughts and doing otherwise can be dissatisfying, and I can see how that makes sense. Much to my surprise, I find myself having good chemistry with this ESFP(probably because of the compatibility of cognitive functions you are describing here), but the conflict arises when I have the need to tell him the truth(I am obsessed with discovering and discussing the truth), whilst he is very sensitive and cannot handle it and sometimes does not see the point. Also, the truth can sometimes change once you accumulate more knowledge so that bothers him that I continuously adjust my theories on things. I can see if we are able to overcome this, how beneficial we will be for each other. He brings me back to the real world, helps with assimilate with other humans and I help him see the big picture that he misses living in the moment. Your video gave me relieve.

Funny my friends are ENFJs, ESFJ, ISTJ and ENFP. Except for the ISTJ I'm always surrounded by extroverts because they are the only one to push me outside my comfort zone. Without them I'd be too lazy to interact with the social world (I mean the irl social world). At first it was exhausting to deal with all of their feelings and their needs but with time (8 years for most of them now) we sort of found a peaceful balance between us. They allow me not to respond my messages for a week or two max, after they just throw me off my bed to discover the outside world yet again. And it's really benefic for me. I think INTPs left alone too long become unhealthy and trapped in our "I'm a nerdy nerd genius out of the box weirdo f all the humanity I just need my computer and wifi to be untertained". Thanks to these difficult interaction with others my "chameleon superpower" is at his best and I can control my anxiety quite good in a room full of strangers as long as I have at least one friend beside me. It doesn't mean that it doesn't drain me any longer, it's just that now I can tolerate and be more patient with stressfull interactions. As for the ESFJ part, my father is one of them and he's the person I treasure the most on Earth. He was a very dedicated dad and he'd always respect my pace, and take me to forests and peaceful environments so I could blossom during my childrenhood. Also he's a mathematician/physician and has a huuuuuge knowledge about everything (and I'm lowkey jealous) so maybe that's why we can talk easily, mostly'about science and eclectic facts. But yes in fact he was sometimes severe and pernickety with me, and I didn't take theses moments well at all but I have the chance that aside this part of his personnality his the most caring and loving person I know. My ISTJ mother was the real problem.

I think INTP relationships all depend on how much time an INTP works on developing their social awareness. If INTPs recognize their social faults and take the time to understand them they would be more understanding in their interactions with other INTPs. I know that as an INTP, I can spot an introverted thinker from a mile away. I don’t want to loose out on their potential contribution when we work on a team but I also know their faults (they are also mine) so I try to ground myself in reality - which may close me off to their full conceptual understanding. I also know that they are like me and don’t always trust authority or blindly do what they are told. So I don’t trust them as much as I would trust someone else - until they show me they understand when they need to follow the rules. If the relationship is more familial (like a sibling) then it is a bit harder to find common ground because we are Not invested in each other through a contract. I know my colleague at work wants the best result for a common vision in a company. Familial bonds are different.

[@Moana_moo]

Believe me ESFP and INTP friendship works 100%. Like my best friend is INTP and it’s like a match made in heaven. I get the spotlight😂😂. I have both introverted and extroverted friends and i definitely feel better around introverted friends cause i am definitely the loudest. Most of my other friends are ESFJs,ENFJ and ENTP though. I give her fashion advice that she doesn’t always take. I’m her make-up artist. I kind of get her out of the bubble. We run in different circles now,but she doesn’t have many friends beside me and like 3 others so she often hangs out with my gang. I kind of bring her to the real world. Like she usually has no clue about what’s going on neither in media or at school or what events are next. And she kind of brings me to her world which is more like science,books etc.

[@OmbreDeLaClairLune]

Rewritten version: 1- INTP here, asking for advice. 2- Ok, so my two best friends are ESFP and ISFJ. ESFP and I are disagreeing a lot recently, usually about rules/responsibility. She either argues back with "I do what I want" one something like that, or just laughs it off. ISFJ either tries to break up the argument or sides with ESFP. 3- I have an INTJ friend, but I almost never see her because she's busy. 4- I'm pretty sure I'm an INTP, but I do start lots of new projects and don't finish them. Also, my Ne parent tends to only activate when I'm imagining someone's reaction to something I said or commented, in extreme hypotheticals like Ne inferior, or when I make a conscious decision to think of possible futures for someone in the case it has something to do with me. (Maybe because I'm way too young to start using a parent function properly yet.) 5- I can't take my peers seriously because I've stupid-zoned almost all of them.

[@rutasel6726]

Actually me and my best friend are both INTPS and we get along very well. Yeah we really disagree aloooooot but thats what fulls our relationsship.

We both are just interested in getting to an answer and we are not so muuch interested in getting to an answer. So yeah i really enjoy it Ok nevermind I mistyped him he is an INTJ

[@HobDobson]

In terms of cognitive functions, I think that one of the problems for INTPs is that in Western society not only do extroverts outnumber introverts 3:1 in general, but SJs traditionalists and enforcers (Si > Ne) outnumber nonconformist and possibly degenerate NTPs (Ne > Si) 6:1 (16:1 vs. INTPs). On average I'd expect that being out of step in a life-long competition rigged against them can encourage a person to get very used to either using their Shadow functions or shutting the world out - something an INTP can manage (Si child vs. Se trickster distraction) far more than an ENTP can afford to do (Si inferior vs. Se demon pain). Likewise ENTPs can shut hypocritical bastards out of their "us"-group better than INTPs. How those people being shut out (for the NTP's emotional and physical well-being) react is a good indication of how unequitable the power exchange has been. If the NTP really is the immature one, it's on the "adult" in the relationship to be a responsible adult about the conflict. Can NTPs be good friends? Sure! The INTPs are ignoring and the ENTPs are avoiding/driving away the ones they really can't stand. Logic, for the win. Likewise, SPs are doing their best to drive our more-workaholic-than-thou NTJ cousins to drink, etc. :)

[@alistairproductions]

Ronald B. M. Irvin you sure it’s 3:1?? That seems unlikely

[@HobDobson]

Depends on the source. Isabel Myers estimated introversion at 25% of the population, while the Myers-Briggs organization in 1998 later showed Introverts 50.7% and Extroverts 49.3% of the USA. Introverted types at personalitymax.com/personality-types/population-gender/ sum up to 34% ( How different people will respond to the sorting questions can be skewed by how the question is worded. ) "Researchers estimate extroverts make up 50 - 74 percent of the population... ...The other 16 - 50 percent of the population consists of introverts" www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/thrive/201205/are-extroverts-happier-introverts I'll assume the writer was aiming for "26 - 50 percent". Split the difference at 2:1, and note that much can depend on what criteria researchers are using for "extroversion" and "introversion"?

@C.S. Joseph Thanks for that video, really interesting ! I wondered if you had some interesting insights on Extraverts VS Introverts, cause all I read everywhere is that it's related to what gives you or drains your energy, do you need to spend time alone to gain energy or do you need to go out and meet people. Well I ask you that cause I'm an INTP and my best friend is an ENTJ ( perfect combination according to your video!), and we really share the same thoughts about social interactions, he's an extrovert but he prefers staying alone and has just a few close friends and he'd rather stay at home reading a book than going to a bar and meet a lot of people. The main thing that parts us and make it obvious that he's an extrovert and I'm an introvert is that he's SUPER confortable in social situations, talks to everybody, initiates conversations, becomes incredibly popular within seconds etc, and I'm super inconfortable as I hate small talk and I just want to get out of there as soon as possible and I prefer one-one-one or really small groups interactions. So my thought is: Why an extrovert like him does behave just like me, just having few close friends and spend most of his time reading alone at home instead of going out, I really start to think that this E vs I thing is much more complex than it seems
