    INTPs are intriguing..They are like the oddest mbti type who does not feel belong or at home with the other types. They are like a creature visiting from a distant planet and tries to blend in with the other types who have already been inhabitor for thousands of years. INTP are always said to be like chameleons, they are very indicisive until they can make up their mind, any many times, it's impossible to make up their mind. That is why to survive, they try to follow the crowd even though they detest it and want to express the inner alien in them. They are special and precious. They are much more logical and smarter than other types, with an awareness and interest of what exactly is life about, whereas other types just live day by day as it comes. Because of that, INTP have no one to talk about. About the complexities of life, about the meaning of it. You can say, "Hey, why not find other INTPs to talk with?" Well, of course other INTPs will be easier to get along with as we share the same ideals. But, a blind leading the blind will eventually lead to somewhere, but not the destination. Just know that we INTPs are one family and with our curiosity and philosophical minds, we can get by, and we will make a difference, we will make it big. Also, INTPs are the most innocent of all types, even though they are rather open to ideas not governed by emotions. They are like a child trying to figure out the world as other types fast forward past their vision, doing mundane work and fuss about things not even worth a thought to the INTPs. I wish life would treat INTPs better and somehow guide them by the hand, but the absence of it, is what makes every INTPs' journey different and filled with meaning.

      +MrOldestPerson That was beautiful.. And more or less how I feel as an INTP.
      INTJ's are said to be the coldest humans, while INTP's are said to be the warmest machines... It's weird feeling like we aren't apart of humanity, and at the same time it's annoying.

    • @MrOldestPerson
      @MrOldestPerson 9 років тому +19

      +The Truth Indeed..We are in exterior like a machine because we do not really feel comfortable expressing our feelings to strangers. But deep inside us are not gears, we are powered by feelings too, we just choose to hide it in. As society and social settings are based off appearance at the first glance, we are very much rejected at first sight. When I say rejected, I mean it as a conceptualized form. Such as, it is harder for us to find similarity with others. Of course, like the physics theory, energy is always transformed into another type of energy. Our minds and beliefs will somehow be displayed into physical gestures, which others may not like or agree with. But the moment we find people similar as us, we are going to cherish them soooo much more than any other types cherish people.
      Anyways, if you want to share about yourself or your struggles, you can hit me up and we can exchange our medias. I am pretty new into this INTP thing, so if you have any forums in which we can visit, please do share it with me and the other INTPS around in this video.
      Let's all embark in this journey together in separate ships but with a common goal, which is to understand ourselves better.
      Have a great day everyone! Especially to the INTPs around :)

    I hardly ever post on youtube comments, but watching your videos are great. I've come to realize that the INTP is going to be constantly plagued with a feeling of indecision as a result of the ever probing mind. What I used to see as anxiety I now view as a skill that most people cannot access. 'Be your own hero' Well put friend. On we go!

  • @tesscarella2572
    @tesscarella2572 9 років тому +23

    intp: we have a lot in common, the struggle to figure out what it is that i want to do is un-real right now. especially being in college and the millions of deadlines to have to decide by. Im switching into mechanical engineering because even though its so tedious and not exactly "interesting" to me, its so broad and will allow me to do a lot of different things and still make an impact on the world. When i was really young i thought i just wanted to be an author because i was so imaginative and read so much but then i decided i was really interested in other sciency things and wanted to go and do really amazing cutting edge things. and then i came up with the idea that i was capable of doing something really great and felt i owed it to the world. There are so many problems to be fixed that i should work on. I still feel like i should help save the world. like really truly doing something huge that would have an awesome positive impact. I realize that because i get quickly bored with tedious things i am not necessarily cut out for being an engineer because i prefer the ideas and design behind solutions, not the nitty gritty number crunching. but engineering will allow me to do so much more then other disciplines and leave a greater impact then if i did a standard life science. Also I love learning but i don't think i want to go to grad school bc i just want to get started on doing something. Im able to learn plenty for enjoyment on my own time. i guess ill just push through the difficult classes for now and try to not lose my motivation by reminding myself this is what i need to do to ensure there are open doors even if i decide to change my focus from something like environmental sustainability to computer science or neuro, (just some of the current cluster fuck of majors/topics i love but cant decide on). I want to just major in everything and be able to do anything and feel as i if i owe something to the world. Yet i know most of my ideas will never see the light of day and i will keep stagnating in an endless feedback loop of indecisiveness. As an intp is it even possible to be truly "sure" that this is what you want to do? or do we reassess until the day we die? i can think about this for the rest of my life and never commit to anything

    • @rast123456789
      @rast123456789  9 років тому +4

      Tess Carella this is me right now. I also read a lot as a child and wanted to be an author as well, but then I started getting interested in biology and other sciences. I also want to save the world, but unsure how to do so. But I think if we just pick something now, we can always take a different path if we don't like it as much.

    I'm a teen and I honestly have no clue what I will do with my life. I've accepted that I'm likely to jump between jobs and I'm ready for an adventure. I like science and just want to do something that I'm happy doing which stimulates my brain, keeping me learning. In terms of learning, I've been learning french because why wait when i could do it now? Random fact: INTPs are highest personality with job dissatisfaction. Okay bye.

    • @Adam-bq2vw

    So many INTP's are computer systems analysts. I've never tried that. Honestly it's not abstract enough for me! I dunno. I love theories and philosophy and the artsssss >technology/science. ;P (Honestly I've noticed INTP's either fit in two categories: computer systems analysts or something with the arts) -> truly externally valid? Probably not
    I do feel as well that I would be able to succeed more in the world as an ENTP ;P
    Honestly, I feel like I can't master "anything I set my mind to" - I feel like my values and focus waver way too much to keep any sort of consistency.
    Honestly I feel like I'll always be in my head. And it's hard to find any job that will be able to blend my mind and external world.

    • @rast123456789
      @rast123456789  10 років тому +26

      I am into that stuff as well! Which is basically "all of creation" haha. CSA to me is just an excuse to use my problem solving skills and have free time so I can pursue my actual interest which is........ Finding and aligning myself with the truth, wherever it takes me. As technology and humanity progress, new ways to monetize the important skills of the INTP will surface so, you don't have to dream about being an ENTP, lol. All things reveal themselves in time. And when that time comes you will know. Worrying about finding a job to define yourself is a neurotic program of the ego. I let that thought run my life for a while and it was miserable. What makes something externally valid anyway?

    As an INTP I can tell you that at your own risk I recommend illegal substances we learn more from then than any other type. The best thing for INTP's is lsd it breaks the loop of death and you just realize yeah I'm going die but so what and it helps you with your confidence while with other types it might make them a little crazy for INTP's we love being forced to feel and sense life which is what psychedelics do. Another option is get a really nice pet it teaches you to take care of real world things and the pet has to love you back.

    "Finding yourself." The thing is that this can be turned into a query, like a Ti query, like a question that makes you want to reduce everything you experience into an idea.

    I love photography too! I kind of have this natural ability with capturing the essence or feelings behind things. I don't have a really nice camera but my friend lets me take pics with her's. I think the things you have to find has to be something that you can study almost effortlessly. My biggest problem is not being able to focus on things if I don't find them interesting. Engineering should pull you in keep captivated effortlessly. If it doesn't do that then maybe it's not right for you.

However, you give out an image of acceptance and respect towards others and their differences.

    This was a great video. I've been thinking about what I should do for ages. Thought about changing my major (again) but I think I'll stick with filmmaking. When I was a kid, I always said I was going to be an astronomer - I've always loved science, still do. I'm still thinking. It can get so frustrating though because it feels like I'm going nowhere. But I think this are starting to get clearer, one moment at a time.

  • @Isaac-zp2we
    @Isaac-zp2we 11 років тому +5

    You can master anything as anyone as far as MBTI types go. It has to be realistic, but I think what is realistic would surprise a lot of people. INTP's are more unique in their approach to any situation. I believe we hold the most complex systems in our head, and the way these systems work can give us a distinct advantage of certain sorts. INTP's do have generally the most intelligence (along with INTJ's) at least from what I understand, and this certainly aids them in making coordinated approaches to things in a logical fashion. I don't believe the ability to be whatever is so unique to us in particular.

  • @mujtaba2020k
    @mujtaba2020k 11 років тому +4

    Hey man, gotta say I enjoy watching your videos. However, I wanted to put this out there. I am an INTP too and a gifted one also. I went to an international high school so I only had a final exam at the end which I aced after just 1 week of studying cuz of my INTPness and got a 100,000 USD + scholarship. But when I tell people that my mind works differently they either think that I'm too full of myself or I'm making an excuse for not studying or something. Currently I am completing my bachelors to pursue a career as an actuary. After my bachelors, I would have to self-study for around 5 - 10 years which is great cuz I can choose my own pace and study methods. Right now I am a 3rd year bachelors student and have 1 more year remaining. I have like 2-3 assignments per week and 2 quizzes per week which is killing me cuz it kills me to do work which is boring. I can totally ace a final exam but doing so much work kills me. What I have to tell myself is simply that even though I know that I have a different learning style and i think differently from most people, I still have to go through the current education system to get an opportunity to show people how truly gifted I am. This was not my decision however. I was forced into it by necessity (without the scholarship I did not even have enough money to live, I'm from Pakistan so you can connect the dots). But being forced into it has enabled me to make the correct decision of getting an education imo but im not sure. Do you think its the correcct choice cuz I thinkn very much like you do it seems from the video and constantly studying what I am "supposed to be studying" in school is extremely frustrating and I just want to think critically by myself instead of learning the boring repititive way that other people learn.

    I find myself (INTP) normally speaking with monotone. Really being spontaneous is when I am furious or being sarcastic. so the linguistic skill and mind gets very focus and sharpened.
    But seriously I don't have answer to this (What do I want to do with my life). Making decision is hard, coz INTPs see anything, believe anything can happen, can learn anything, but they only want to do the things they find interests in. + they are they slowed down by the Sloth. at the end, they might do nothing

    I think im a cross between INTP and INFP. I think i'm more like INTP but there are too many things that dont apply to me which doesn't make me feel confident in the INTP. The only other personality I can think of that can maybe fill in the holes that INTP isn't filling is INFP. CONFUSION

      Hey Chelsea and Caroline, to be more clear regarding the mention of cognitive functions others have mentioned, I strongly recommend Personality Hacker’s car model explanations of both of the types you are thinking you might be (INFP and INTP). If you google “Peronality Hacker INFP car model” and the same for INTP you’ll get a more accessible explanation of the cognitive functions. This is SUPER helpful in comprehending which type you are. Once you really grasp the cognitive functions piece, you’ll never doubt again ❤️

    For IT work, considering working towards IT architecture.
    It is very easy to get stuck in IT Support- meaning IT customer support. The problem with that is that it has a higher risk at becoming monotonous and mentally constricting.
    For an INTP I think it is better to navigate your career towards being an Architect in IT.
    This gives you the thinking and creativity aspects we need.
    We need a job that allows us the freedom to find the best possible solution for a problem.
    An IT Architect seems like a good match. Possibly there are others too.

    • @yokkabai
      @yokkabai 6 років тому +1

      Also to be clear, I have found “in house” IT Support to be quite fitting as an entry level position for an INTP - meaning supporting your coworkers directly face to face.
      In contrast, customer facing IT Support - solely via phone or email - has the risk of becoming monotonous and constricting.
      Nothing sucks the life out of INTPs more than a list of “tickets”.
      Although we can do it and are decent at it. We are more suited to reactionary work or constructing the best possible solution for a problem.
      That’s what I think now anyway.

    I'm a junior in high school. This year is a tough year because I'm starting to get ready to apply for college and I don't know what the hell I want to do. How am I supposed to know with the short 16.5 years of life experience that I have? I'm thinking of going to college undeclared even though at the moment I really love cognitive science just because I want to take all kinds of classes I've never had the opportunity to take and I don't want to rule anything good out.

    If you can make money and really enjoy it then yeah! I enjoy computers and am intrigued by them. And is something that doesn't take a billion years of school to do really well in. After I can make a living doing that I plan to keep learning and trying to create and be better. Basically what I am searching for is the highest vantage point possible and when I obtain it, I want to gather the truths it shows me and then I will use that knowledge to climb higher.

    I'm a 38 year old INTP. I guess you could say to some degree social anxiety inhibited my career development but mostly analysis paralysis. I had/have multipotentiality but then philosophical awareness to question the whole point of anything and the reality of anything. If you question the very notion of self (see advaita or nondual philosophy) then where does that leave you re: agency. So I've ended up in a weird career space where I've just muddled along in a career that is not where my passions lie but who am I anyway, what is my real purpose? Part of me is has a ver strongly urge to be fully creatively expressed but is part of that ego? And by being a creative superstar would that just build me a hardened identity that would be spiritually counterproductive and the spiritual goal is to know yourself not as the wave but as the formless, infinite ocean of pure consciousness. etc.

    I want to go to college though, it seems like a lot of fun and there are so many cool classes to take. I know it's not *technically* necessary or useful but let's be honest life is easier if you have a degree. It's something I'm really excited for but it's also very stressful and such. I have the PSAT in 2 days and I haven't studied... classic INTP style. Are you in college?

  • @rast123456789
    @rast123456789  11 років тому +2

    I think passions are innate and sometimes you need exposure to the right set of circumstances and experiences to bring them out. My problem was trying to know everything before I made a choice about anything which leads to a lot of indecision. I would like to have multiple jobs and I could pick which one I wanted to do when I woke up that day. I love/hate that I am interested in so many things. I read that most INTPs don't fully develop until they are 25-35. I think it's bc we are so complex lol

But yeah I've always had a pretty diverse set of interests.

    2. You already know as INTPS we delight to learn, but once we’ve learned enough about the subject we get bored, drop it, and move on. To cut to the chase, do you think the best jobs for INTPs should be analytical, centered around exploration, learning, and problem-solving type work, or it just depends on the person? Just curious.

Then there's photography, which I love but it wouldn't give me long term satisfaction. Then there's music which I enjoy, am good at and have the ability to study for hours, but I feel like there are much bigger things in the world to do than music.

    Your life is a journey, may it sound trivial, but I don't think you choose your life /and lifestyle and job etc. when you choose your university/college. And that would be the utter burden as well - I mean which 18 year old knows what will make them happy, 20 years later. I always find myself in new situations, new schools and new fields, because after a while everything becomes boring. Now I'm at my 3'rd uni (hello correspondence courses) but actually I don't think I could ever stop, bec. when I do, my brain will stop working too. Give me unsolvable
    tasks, challange me, and never the same kind of task, thats what keeps me going. So yeah, good news you don't have to choose what to do with your life. And the bad news, you have constatntly choose what to do with your life - and nobody should help you with it, bec. it is YOUR life.

  • @rast123456789
    @rast123456789  11 років тому

    Can one ever really be completely satisfied? I don't like the term wishing. To me it is a transfer of power and responsibility from the wisher to the unseen force which will grant the wish. All wishing begets is more wishing. And the only way things are going to line up is to line them up yourself. You may not even like having everything lined up that way. But since you already know how to move the pieces you can then line them up and choose any path and if those don't suit you create your own.
