Why INTP Men Are So Intimidating

INTP men. They’re arguably one of the smartest, most brilliant of all of the Myers-Briggs types. They’re Nobel Prize winners, genius investors, and famous wartime leaders. And they’re also one of the most intimidating types. Why is this though? What makes INTP men so scary? Well, today on Charisma we’re going to look at the eight reasons INTP men are so intimidating.

The funny thing about seeming judgmental is that we (or at least me) are some of the LEAST judgmental because we naturally seek and understand all angles of everything. The lack of emotionality appears cold and the deer in headlights stare appears oppositional, when it’s actually just our default look when being attentive and absorbing information.

I would even say all wrong is a sense of ignorance, but not everyone has the capabilities or even desire to get rid of their ignorance.

I'm a INTP-T, I spend a lot of time alone researching and learning by myself. Schedules are definitely not something I enjoy. I get really bored of the same schedule over and over again, which was actually the hardest part about college. The school work was easy, showing up to the same classes at the same time everyday was the hard part for me. I do try my best not to be overly domineering in a group setting, but often end up being very involved as I usually end up being the idea guy. I often end up making friends with other INTP people as I can relate to them and have more interesting discussions. The outcast thing is true, I can get along with pretty much anyone in a social setting, but I rarely end up actually being friends with them over time.

INTP-A. Never thought of myself as intimidating at all. I also don't think of myself as judgemental, but I can understand why people feel that way. It just seems impossible for me to keep my mouth shut when I think something is silly or irrational, and oftentimes, I just have a need to over explain things, or a need to just know more. I pretty much love everybody, and I just want to really understand what they're "feeling." It's been tough for me to relate to people over the years, though. I also suck at reaching out and keeping track of people, which makes it seem like I don't care. I do. I just always have so much on my damn mind. It can be overwhelming.

I also agree that we don't mean any harm, we love everyone, I mean almost everyone. People always find me as cold and blunt. As an INTP-A and also a sagatarious, I'm brutally honest to people, but whenever I do that people always feel that I'm attacking them, well I don’t, I just try to make them feel good. I'm having a tough time with my friends, they think I don’t care at all. It’s hard sometimes, sometimes I feel something is broken inside of me. I can't blame people for that too, It's unusual behaviours, I get it. But we are one of the most supportive people that they can get. We are just stuck inside our head and thinking all the time.

I suffered 10yrs of trying to understand and be understood.

Ive also received their projections and concluded that to protect my peace, I must charge for my time. That way if they start annoying me, it is worth it.

[@Crihnoss]

I believe this is a surface level of the understanding of ITNP emotionality. Makes it sound as unfeeling robots. This is not the case. They (we) do have feelings. We just try to process them through thought to understand them better, and pick the best course of action. This takes time. So it is understandable why other people might the wrong idea about what is actually going on.

[@feliscorax]

I say exactly the same thing to my wife: it’s not that I don’t feel or am uncaring. I actually do feel emotions very intensely, but I don’t like ceding my brain’s control to the messiness of my emotions. I process and relate to them in a rational way, analyse the reasons for those feelings in order to try and understand them better, and everything is always parsed (and passed) through the rational part of my brain first before I’ll allow myself to indulge that feeling (or not). I’ve a deep distrust of unbridled passion or enthusiasm, whether in myself or in others, as I think one’s emotions need to be guided by critical reason and not the other way round: passion that is not given structure, or isn’t guided by logic, can become a very dangerous thing indeed.

[@theA731N]

It’s ironic. I learned I was intimidating but it was hard to believe. I guess that’s the result of why I get targeted sometimes. I like to be unattached in situations so that I can have the freedom to not build a negative connection with anyone. It’s not necessarily for individual expression but that could be a cooling treat.

The heat we experience from the sun actually initially takes the form of light. The heat from the surface of the sun does not make it to earth. That heat dissipates into the near unlimited and extremely cold space. The light from the sun which reaches earth, which penetrates to the surface of earth, some will be absorbed and heat will be radiated back outwards into the atmosphere. Then the water moisture and greenhouse gases will absorb and refract back the heat; warming the earth.

Your/my tendencies to rather be alone isolate us. Is that not what we had in mind. The problem (at least for me) is that I did not learn all the social communication rituals most people learn like they learn their 'milk' language. The longer it goes on, intimidating becomes dislike, your social networks are never built which kills your career, you have fewer and fewer friends until you end up like me: no friends, 2 daughters who do not talk to me and I do not talk to them, same for 1 sister. If you are lucky, you/me find a partner who is stubborn enough to put up with your b.s. because, for some unknown reason, she can see how much you want to love someone and how much you want to give. But they are few and far between and they die. One day you/me realize how much loneliness hurts.

In fact, I get hugged far more than I request it! But I got used to it, and sometimes I even enjoy it. 😊

[@Haste_AU]

The Lack of compassion angle in this is way overexaggerated. INTP's are great listeners, and have no problem putting someone's needs above our own. There isn't a need to make the conversation more 'interesting' or more about us, like some other types. The problem comes from a tendency for our response to be trying to provide a possible solution, or using a personal experience to describe how we handled it rationally - when some people just want you to be on their side and share their emotions with them - which just isn't natural to INTP's.

[@dashphonemail]

Well said. INTPs are good listeners because they're genuinely curious about things, and don't feel the need to be the center of attention. All people (unless they're sociopaths) have compassion. Each personality type finds different aspects of compassion that come more and less naturally to them

[@Ichthyodactyl]

I think that INTPs ARE great listeners and they generally care about how other people feel. I also think that INTPs have a tendency to view those feelings as problems to solve and so can get caught up in the 'solution' side of other people's grievances and it can sometimes be hard for us to JUST listen. We WANT to help and just listening can often feel like we're only helping in a superficial way, rather than actually fixing the problem. I think that's where a lot of that perspective comes from; people wanting INTPs to just listen to their grievances and not try to help them fix the underlying problem and INTPs can often struggle to do that.

False, INTPs are more to favor your feelings over INFPs because we have Fe inferior which is extroverted feelings which is caring for the feelings of others but since it is inferior it has to be practiced and doesn’t come naturally.

i took the myers brigg test twice and got the genius one first and the logician second, from my experience, i have many “friends” but i dont consider them such. Many people are attracted to me for some reason even though i do everything in my power to not be friends with them. For example, while i was in HS (2 years ago) I would always sit alone and just be myself people would be assigned to my table and instantly i could tell they liked my vibe because they were talking a lot. I consider myself an introvert because of the fact that i dont like people, id rather be at home doing nothing than have to go to a social event and interact with people I dont want to be with. Its not the fact that i hate them in particular, i just hate interaction. I would consider myself socially awkward and shy, but people tell me that i seem very friendly and extroverted (its just me playing nice) I harbor no hate for these people. I dont seem to even understand myself sometimes and have been called intimidating, aloof, lethargic, and sometimes even solemn. One thing about me is that i try to follow a set of morally superior rules upon everyone including myself, if someone doesnt meet up to my expectations of being a “morally good” person i immediately start hating being around that person because they are selfish and ignorant. Believe me, i study a lot and know what i am saying. Most peeps can be categorized into 2 groups in my world, selfish n non selfish. A morally good person would be a non selfish person and someone who portrays that in their every day life. I study my surroundings and seeing the same people everyday in HS naturally me curious and i would study them and their behavior too. There are very distinct and clear indicators in the way a person talks, moves, dresses, acts, etc you just have to be observant and open minded as to what youre seeing.

You explained INTPS by the 4 letters not the cognitive functions. This is not a good explanation of the type. It really puts and makes it look like INTPs are just robots of intelligence. And saying we don't care about others feelings is sooooo misleading since it's heavily the opposite. The we don't care about emotions, is a huge concern. I feel that any INTP or any type can learn to exept their own emotions and others. This video is basically saying all INTP men don't have emotions which is completely untrue. INTPS "we think emotions hinder us in the world." My experience has showed me how emotions are useful and very important. This is basically saying that we just hate emotion which is untrue. After the "INTP men can come across as one of the most judgemental people in the world" this is basically type slander at this point. I hate this video now. The video is making INTPS seem that we are just super smart and we are nothing else. The last point I just a stereotype. Anyone could have info on a topic. Also all types use all 8 functions and a INTP is never exactly the same as another INTP. Yes they can have similar qualities, but this video is comparing every INTP to Einstein. Not every INTP is an Einstine. Just don't trust bold claims in videos like this. -INTP

This can confuse people so that they aren't able to read through us that easily, so when you see an INTP making a desition it isn't to drive anyone mad it can depend on in what kind of mood the INTP is in. They are very similar to INFJ because they can also tap into others feelings even if they use more logical thinking. For example we are also good at taking emotions as well as we can filter emotions and that is also a huge strength as being a Heyoka empath. Think of a library with tousands of books, there will be very hard to find that book an INTP person didn't already go through. As they go forward their detach and attachment ability to that specific area is very cool because they do it without even trying.

@@sylviaowega3839 INTP women can be just as intellectually intimidating if not more so than men (for the fact that running into an INTP woman in the wild is a rarity and would throw most people for a loop) IF they are confident and sure of their mental capabilities. Intp men have a significant struggle with developing these qualities. It seems that it would be a greater obstacle for women - generally speaking, to overcome given that they are not falling in line with the socially accepted, typical female Fe/Fi behavior. It's expected for men to be more logically or analytically inclined but for women, not so much.

As an INFP I can say, that me being the typical "panicked deer" due to social anxiety, I actually feel very comfortable around INTPs. Just because they are logical thinkers, doesnt mean they are judgemental in nature.. quite the opposite.

[@susanrodriquez3757]

Really if people gave intps a chance, they would realize most have good intentions and want to help. I do find it interesting how intps and and infps get along and can often be friends when one is often seen as or stereotyped as emotionally cold or aloof while the other is perceived to have hypersensitivity (hsp) as an Fi introverted feelings user. You would think such a pairing would have difficulty getting along but it’s often quite the opposite. In fact combined together they often make a great creative team.

[@latinaalma1947]

About the INTP I know...he is a collector of trivial bits of data about thousands of subjects. Google was invented for people like him eg give me a quick brief answer then on to the next subject. In dating he is a bower bird "oh look at this shiny gum wrapper I found do you know how they get the shiny part to adhere to the paper part? Here's how." " See. this string it looks like the threads they use in Guatemala for huipiles....those are woven on a backstrap loom, first you find some staight tree branches then you whittle..." That is how he attracted me Im an INTJ psychology professor and my subject is what I know deeply after a lifetime of study, the literature etc. Someone asked me can a person have a personanlity change due to a brain injury. I mentioned the case of a railroad worker whose personality changed after an accident...famous in the literature,but something few laymen would be familiar with as it is historic. He piped up "Phineas Gage."..I was shocked. I asked if he studied psychology he said a course in college...but that case isnt discussed. He had read about it . THEN he had my attention. Actually he knows next to nothing about psychology and has no passion for the subject. In fact he has no passion for any subject except briefly then it is on to something else that glitters in the distance or on Google. He has a masters in computer engineering and had a good career in the field. He is 83 and of high intelligence it is just scattered over multiple thousands of bits of unrelated data . So an in depth disussion in your own field uncovers that quite readily. Still, his never ending curiosity is charming and endearing amd admirable. On the emotional level he has great difficulty. He has NO vocabulary for feelings...he feels them he says but he cannot describe them even when talking about relationships in his chidhood family. There is no nuance in describing anything related to emotion. And though he has been married twice for long periods of time he is not at home in his own body or expressive with it . He cant feel in tune with or read someone else's if he cant do that with his own! People do like him because he doesnt seem judgmental....he seems open and curious. He lets others talk being an introvert and has quite a cadre of people who care deeply about him and his welfare. INTPs are indeed unique.

Is it possible for me to be INTP and INFJ? I did two tests with two sites and answered truthfully and those are the results. After I read through all of it I found out that all of those things make up my whole personality. But there might be another term for that that's why I'm here. Is it possible?

[@INFamousJudge576]

It's not possible. Either the test was bad made or your answers weren't accurate (most likely). Being mistyped is part of the journey in the MBTI theory so don't worry about it. I'll suggest doing some research about cognitive functions and how they work. Keep in mind that the traits of a personality type are the ones that you prefer and are the most natural to you. You can still make the decision to behave differently for various reasons and imitate another type in a certain situation. But your true type tells how your mind works unconsciously and cannot change nor being a mix.

[@mail-qh2qc]

I do not think that this is portrayed correctly. I'm hearing this victimhood "judgemental" word used left and right yet much of the time it's not the appropriate word at all. The reality is that most people are too sensitive, conceded, and close-minded to admit that they're wrong or admit someone else may know something that they do not. This is a large problem throughout the world and is a reason why many things never go completed. Too many people with a controlling mindset while not holding enough information are in charge of too many areas.

Perhaps because you’re Intp? Lol Maybe you intimidate some men and don’t know it. Intp women are quite rare.

However most women out there are not Intps and often tend to prefer feelings over hard logic.

These test talk about in general not the outlier. If you were to take 10, 000 the video was stating that on average there is a higher tendency for people who test INTP and INTJ to be also the most intelligent. It doesn't mean that there isn't millions of people out there that are not INTP or INTJ and intelligent. He was just saying generally speaking according to most statistic. But also, most test are about Intelligence as IQ and academia and logic base analytic potential. Not things like emotional intelligence or all these other sort of things.

[@Diego-lt4wm]

@@Barthenn But there is a falacy in that matter, as there are very few INTP and so a few intelligent INTPs will make the entire INTP statistics look like there are a lot of intelligent INTPs. Meanwhile if we judge the ESFJ type, we will see they have a lot of dumb people only because there are millions more of ESFJs than INTPs, which are fewer and thus have fewer people below the standard IQ

INTP here. No offense, in the workplace I try to make everyone's life as easy as possible and if I see someone making life difficult for me or anyone else I really get mad about it. Why do we get mad? Why does it feel like I'm so invested in it? Because I'm fucking lazy! I created a system that makes everything easy for everyone and all you had to do is listen to me, but no you fucked it all up! You're the asshole not me. This being said, I rarely get mad at my subordinates or co-workers, I get mad at my boss and my managers. You need a guy to chew out a manager and make him feel like a worthless idiot? Well, that will be me. I'll be the first to stick my neck out on the line in order to make things the way they need to be. Fair for everyone. About being intimidating. I rarely get this way toward anyone, unless they've pushed every nerve in my body over and over again.
