'7 months later... I appreciate all y'alls responses. I'm trying to figure out how to have more than a superficial relationship. So far my strategy is: stare at person, gain attention, run far far...|||Admittedly, I have felt insulted before. My family used to call me cold-hearted or say that I had no sense of humor or that I was uptight. I felt insulted cause it seemed as though they were...|||This is the opposite of an insult. I used to feel legitimately proud when kids playfully called me a nerd or vampire (cause I never left my house durring daylight hours). It was nice that others...|||Yes. Yes. Yes. I very much dislike it, though I try to keep in mind the other persons intentions. It definitely feels belittling.  Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk|||Hey, what are your relationship goals? Both realistic and nonrealistic.  Some of mine: -To be honest without offending -To trust someone -To find someone who actually likes to cook and clean. Lol|||Have you ever met an INTP? What was your perception of that individual? What was the experience like?|||I hate humans. Like, we have so many insecurities.  Like, why can't we all agree to abide by social niceties in order to get things done? Why can't we see that our own personal opinions are not...|||Why you no more reply, people? Boring?... oh... ok.  :exterminate:|||I think very similarly. Though I identify with the ILI profile, I don't yet feel that I fully understand the system as a whole.     Thank you for the resource. :)|||I only know one xNTJ and, surprisingly, she approves of me. I mean, I definitely play to her tastes when around her, but, hey, after hearing so many INTP vs xNTJ stories, I'm feeling pretty proud of...|||So, over the years, while exploring the subject, I have noticed some distinct differences between myself and the average INTP. Many of which involve traits that are typically associated with my...|||So, over the years, while exploring the subject, I have noticed some distinct differences between myself and the average INTP.

Most of the time, it doesn't bother me. But, sometimes, I get this tug a war which results...|||When I was little, I was doing random research (as I often did, lol), and I came across the definition of psychopathy. I didn't know the negative connotation at the time and so I happily brought the...|||Though I'm frustrated with the situation, I don't blame my brother for his opinion. I'm the way that I am and he is the way that he is. I only wish that there wasn't such a disconnect between us.|||Preach sista.    And it's ironic because we are so uninterested in infringing our own values on others in return.|||But then we would both be happy. lol|||I was under the impression that INTPs were one of the most independent types. I know, personally, I have trouble depending on others (one of the many things that I apparently need to change about...|||Maybe people think they have the right to criticise because they know that we won't retaliate.|||Perfect timing.  Yesterday my ISTJ brother (who basically raised me) spent about 3 hours berating me about all of the aspects of myself that I need to change. I respect his opinion so this was...|||Lol. Story of my life.|||I wonder if this is a typical result for many, or if it just seems to happen with INTPs. Perhaps it has something to do with our propensity to over-analyze this stuff.|||did you ever figure your type out?|||On the other hand, I get along particularly well with ISTJs and INTJs... I tend to enjoy their no-BS personality and thick skin. I can actually say what I think and they don't take it personally....|||I've gotten into screaming matches/ visibly upset with two different ESFPs before. This mostly happened as a young teen, but I did resort to arguing once as an adult. I don't regret the outburst...|||Absolutely nothing and it is blissful. :proud:|||I have to admit that I am slave to that stereotypucal INTP Fe push/ pull effect. I want to feel emotional connection but then again... I don't. With your higher Fe, was that something that you had to...|||Mark R's 452825|||452817  You're right about having a higher Fe. Nature or nurture?|||Insight amongst the memes. :wink:|||Would you be creeped out if I turned your results into a chart as well? For comparison?|||I gave into my whims and turned my results into a chart. lol. (I used the chart feature on Microsoft Word, chose stacked bar, and then Prtsc it.)  452025  Looking at it like this, I definitely...|||I'm interested in seeing the make-up of other INTPs cognitive functions.  I took the SimilarMinds test, and these were my results.     Although, it was an interesting quiz, I felt that it more...|||Read. Diversely and frequently.  I've only recently discovered that I have a particularly well developed Ne, but looking back I believe that reading a wide variety of books is what gave me this...|||I'm disappointed that I didn't get more replies...   A year later, and only 1 reply. lol  I was hoping to find more media outlets to obsess over.|||To be honest, I've never actually felt this amount of dislike for something without having a logical reason. In fact, I don't really consider there to even be a logical reason to dislike someone. I...|||Ugh. So, my roommate asked me to explain INTP to him since I've referenced it before while trying to decern his type. I tried to explain that I considered an INTP to be someone who's goal is to...|||Eh! I say almost all of these. lol. But these reminded me of a few more:  So? Which I use as a dismissive Why does that even matter?  How do you mean?, Can you be more specific?, How...|||Thank you for your response :proud: I found it very informative and helpful and I'm looking forward to anything else that you might add.  You're spot on about their characteristics so far and...|||Overcome procrastination.  But if I couldn't have that, I would like to stop over thinking things. It takes me 3 times as long to analyse a topic because I have to approach it from every angle....|||Hey there,  As an INTP, I seem to find myself using key phrases and words that I've learned will help others better understand where I am coming from. It occurred to me that other INTPs might be...|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bml8KwCmob8&index=62&list=LLshmQNAEm8e_YVAhXr2RUrg|||I'm not listening to anything impressive enough to post. :rolleyes: :wink:|||I posted a description of some people that I very much dislike and want to understand better. I'm hoping to figure out if they are a specific type and how best to handle them.  Here is the link to...|||So I spent tonight with my roommate yet again. He seemed to be preoccupied with a desire to convince me that his job is the worst job and that it treats him unfairly. I normally don't participate in...|||I was afraid of that. I'm just trying to figure out what the hell to do now. :frustrating:|||This whole thing turned out to be mostly a venting session... sorry. I bolded the important stuff though, so hopefully that helps.  So I have come across three people in my life that have had...'
