@@userwheretogo No, I know exactly what they’re talking about. It’s like, you can say absolutely anything factual, and people will take it as a personal offense just because you corrected them, even if it was in the most inoffensive way possible.

Fun fact: if you are an INTP watching this, then you are probably procrastinating right now! Go finish that essay, or whatever it is you are putting off. Seriously.
As an INTP I wished people wouldn’t care about first impressions as much because I don’t wanna put even more of my energy into convincing someone I’m not a horrible person.
Same, I don't meet new people often because I make a massive effort on first impressions... That's why mostly everyone knows my sweet and kind side and not my soulless thinking... Yknow when you stay like 😐with this face just thinking
I’m an INTP, and I think it’s true that INTPs procrastinate. It’s even more true because I am procrastinating at this exact moment! I feel as if I have too much information to break it down. I always feel like I don’t have enough time to truly understand everything.
Social awkwardness comes from placing too much importance on how you are coming off. I would treat first dates as sharing experiences and learning from others so by staying in my Ne I wasn't putting pressure on myself and by staying chill I would be more attractive and in talking about insights able to showcase my intelligence in an organic, not showy way.
@@PsychologyRefresh Not after I break the ice. If I go in with no expectations other than good conversation and a good meal I'm relaxed and can play it by ear. If there is good flow I wouldn't have anxiety anyways, but if she's a train wreck I figuratively "grab the popcorn" and treat the date as a clinic on abnormal psychology. Ne is the best thing an INTP brings to the table, because it's where our humor, playfulness and spontaneity comes from. I always pick a place I like to eat for a first date, because any date you leave with a happy belly is a good date.
As an INTP I can’t give yes or no answers to mildly complex questions and love procrastinating I can be logical but I am quite creative too. I don’t believe in faith, sorry not sorry. I love to have fun but completely isolate for prolonged periods of time. I am open to everyone’s opinions as long as it sounds reasonable. I hate arguing at any cost and can be blunt. I can be depressed and lonely when I can’t find someone to relate my understandings. Worst at showing emotions but very compassionate. I might help the poor person more than trying to impress “rich people”. Want genuine companionship. Edit : And I love cats
Just understand that as you age, a lot of these traits are mediated by experience. At 45 I'm a lot more task oriented, more empathetic, and more diplomatic. This isn't fate, it's just a baseline pattern.
I disagree with when people say “they’re obsessed with being correct”. Yes I like winning but it’s just that. If someone in almost anything (arguement, sport, video game, etc) can genuinely beat me with some tactic/technique I haven’t heard of, or can give me an outlook that I haven’t thought of I will absolutely appreciate it, and enjoy it more than any victory. It gives me something new to try/develop/learn, and I often can feel better from that “loss”, unless there was ego involved (which never happens outside of For Honor lmao).
I took a personality test for school and got intp. I have never felt so...whats the word...exposed, known in my whole life. I cant disagree with a single sentence about intp no matter where I look.
I took a personality test at school also, although I'm an INTP, (based on tons of test I took before) I purposely alter my answer and got ESFJ hahahaha.
It's like looking into a mirror sometimes, it almost feels like they're talking about me specifically, and I had no idea other people were also like this.
I agree with everything except that it's not that difficult for me to make friends, If you analyse people and make friends with logical mindset rather than emotional mindset, you can make long term friends without emotional drama. People who agree with my thoughts as well as those who challenge my thoughts make good friends for me. Also, INTPs have a dark side of getting addicted to everything as part of the extreme focus and passion, sometimes the addiction can be other people too.
Sometimes people might say I'm a mistype, and I actually thought so too because I was the best go to of my friends when they need advices but then going back, I realised I really didn't give emotional support but mostly, I am trying to find solutions to their problems. But then, I have come to conclusion that there are other personalities that needs emotional support so I adapted well in the "F" comforting style(I am surrounded by a lot of them), I copied their style, tho that drains me most of the time. And that made me feel guilty cause I usually feel like I am faking concern and emotions.
I agree with you. I honestly don't care that much when I look back but I just listen and provide "solutions" by analysing the situation. Maybe listening to someone is also a kind of emotional support.
#5 definitely explains why my mother always had particular struggles with me as a kid. She just can't accept a non-conformist by nature, but I love the way I am
As an INTP-A, I can confirm that yes, we do have a sort of "Google Search" system in our heads for storing information. (I personally would never volentarily part with this system.)
Some of these habits can be fixed with dedication, these are very accurate in regards to me as an INTP-A, I will say, the relationships struck home for me. I looked at relationships like it was supposed to be logical and rejected the emotional elements because I thought it didn't make sense, when relationships literally do not make sense because it's not so much a logical thing. It wasn't until I started to do less "thinking" and more "doing" that I was garnering favour and building attraction with females, and even then I started to apply a logical strategy to that
When it came to relationships as a female INTP, I would always get a lot of first dates for the reason that I was physically attractive, but once they would get me to talk they’d be put off my my logical thinking and philosophical-type depth; as well as my social awkwardness. I never really enjoyed dating as I always felt as if I was put on trial by the guys I was dating, and abhorred all the games they would play.
@@sevenstarofheaven I presume, you’re an INTP man? I incipiently thought you were where a female with that cute girl cartoon on you profile pick. When I was a teen girl, I would try to steer away from my fellow INTP’s, as I always knew at least unconsciously that we have all almost the same blind spots, but I now being more mature I know I would be better off with a fellow INTP. I once did fare a male ENFJ/INFJ, whom was interested in philosophy, mathematics and political thought and whom we had several stimulated conversations, but after a few days he winded up swapped me for the “typical woman”, when I was at the university. A few months later, he swapped me for that other woman, because he thought I was too intellectual. Lol
I live with two INTPs (husband, daughter) and I can vouch for their intense imaginations (which often cause them to talk to themselves or laugh out loud in another room), their procrastination AND their romantic slowness... lol! But once you get past being their bluntness, being corrected all the time, and you don't force them to do things on your schedule, they make lovely loyal, surprisingly accommodating, and enjoyably entertaining friends and family members. :)
@@rekaughnI'm sorry if I offended you, it was not my intent at all. But to be honest, now that you mention it, my INTP daughter DOES describe her personality as that of a cat or a Shiba Inu. lol!
@@rekaughnAlso is it just me? Or do INxPs have a tendency act like cats in that all day long they are inaccessible until the MOST inopportune time (usually when I am working on a project on the computer or wanting to tell them "goodnight") they suddenly launch into a 1 hour monologue about all the interesting thoughts they had that day.... But luckily as an INTJ I find their innermost thoughts delightful and just can't deny them.....
For number 3 I literally disproved the history book once that we were learning from because it had false information. The teacher was not happy with me. 😂
I had the same issue in kindergarten with the name of a river that runs nearby - but not through - a certain major city in Australia. Because the teacher didn’t know it, and our classroom resources didn’t have it, she probably still thinks I was wrong to this day. But, I went home and checked my atlas (I was a strange kid: my Mum bought me all sorts of books because I was so interested in reading them; yes, I could also read before I got to kindergarten. That was the next problem.), and sure enough, I found it.
As an INTP, (who is currently 13) I am very orderly, and will always get things done, except on weekends. I procrastinate everything I told myself I would do because I feel too tired of a long week of sports and schoolwork I find it very difficult to interact with most of my classmates since most of them have been there from a young age, and aren't too fond of talking to new people (I move around a lot, so I'm new) Whenever I gain a new interest, I always go on research sprees until I know almost everything there is to know about that. It's been a habit I've had since around the third grade. I excel in school based subjects and I have been an above average student for as long as I can remember I started reading before I even got into school, and I really enjoyed it The close friends that I do have, I feel as if I love them with my whole heart. I would do pretty much anything for them I find it really hard to talk to anyone who I find attractive, I'm only thirteen, but there are some pretty people at my school, even though I don't have a crush on them, I still find it difficult to talk to them, as I don't want them to think I'm a bad person edit: sorry that this is pretty long, I find it really difficult to write in short sentences as I have a pretty large vocabulary and don't like using little words
You should start researching exercise and diet. How the body absorbs nutrients and how to count calories and such. You are at the perfect age to start improving upon your body. It's much harder as you get older because of time restraints and lower testosterone and such
I remember doing the 16 personality test 6 years ago when I was 16 and got INTP. Now I'm 22 don't have a high-school diploma because I didn't care to study the subject that didn't interest me, I have a hard time in job interviews because I'm so awkward and socially enept and a friend of mine calls me a procrastinut
I wrote too much the first time so here is the cliff note first: I got bored of him over explaining "weird" to me.. I mean does he know who he's talking to....? so I sighed, said "shut up" in a rough mumble and skipped ahead and heard "INTP's are passive aggressive" and busted out laughing! It was a nice magic trick, he knew we'd get bored and skip -right there- bravo! (disclaimer: I know it wasn't planned it's just funnier to think that way)
ok LONG VERSION of rambles and nonsense. if it bothers you then just skip reading it really is just for entertainment and amusement and I will not be accepting criticism but if you have interesting ideas feel free to share them as long as it's not like "your brain is dumb lol what the f is this lololol pen*s!! I eat boogers on toast" I sigh and mumble "shut up" when he was over explaining weird to me... like dude, I live in my own mind... do you think calling me weird will bother me? But after I said "shut up" and skipped ahead it was like INTP's can be passive aggressive.😂 like a magic trick (yes I'm an INTP who uses emoji's. Usually I don't but I have developed my Fe over the years and if you say "INTP's don't do that" then maybe we developed different but we still have Fe, bud! (Next it will say that we hold grudges we pretend to be over and they come out in random times such as me not getting over how someone was so rude to me because I analyzed the INFJ personality and how their cognitive function structure may make them appear more rare than they are-just a theory
I like weird. But surely logic is not weird. 1.] Passive aggressive? I call it apathy. 2.] Yes, I cherish my ability to tune out distractions. Like ignoring the backseat driver. I care enough that I want to keep him safe, so I keep my mind on driving. 3.] Indeed I can find logical errors everywhere, in my own behavior too. I can argue either side of an issue. I have to! Otherwise I could not know which side is right. 4.] I can hardly finish anything because there will always be more to learn first. 5.] I think it is best, when given an order, to know the reason for it, so that I can believe in it and do it right. Doing the right thing is the most important. So yes, I may ask questions or even disobey. 6.] Romance? Well, there was once a time when this was possible, but it didn't work out. 7.] Yes, I know a lot of stuff. This comes in handy, but it is also fun. 8.] I can explain myself, but most people have a hard time understanding me. Consequently, I am more interested in hearing what they think than trying to tell them what I think. Other people's opinions are also interesting to remember.
My guess you are young. I wish people would give their age. I was socially awkward when I was young but now in my 50s I just don't care. I'm an actress so I can put on good acts.
#6 and 7 is what really stood out to me because I'm exactly that lol. A few times I've had crushes and knew someone had a crush on me, I made no effort trying to talk or bond with them. Eventually he reached out and we talked for a few months,he said he's willing to wait but apparently in the end he can't take my bluntness and me being "not committed" to the relationship we were building. He in fact did not see that I was trying my best. All he cared about was the results. As an INTP, I care about the steps I'm taking to ensure a clear outcome.
Same but as a dude I remember having a crush on a girl that also liked me even wrote me note that I forgot to read never asked her out because she was surrounded by freinds and I didn't have a phone then she turned hella pretty and grew some big ass honkers over the summer and I had no shot no more
I was typed as this personality today, but I find it hard to relate to it because of how intelligent it seemed, I don't particularly like being science-sy all the time, but I don't like schedules constant boring everyday chores, I also have vivid imagination and was daydreaming frequently, I also hate norms and people that assumes a lot but I also take notice of how I become not rude for them, I either rephrase my wordings while still being blunt.
I felt that my feelings towards this man will probably remain one-sided and a secret so I analyzed my feelings days ago to find out why exactly i like him. I spent hours writing possible reasons why i like him and pinpointed the most likely reason. I found the reason unreasonable and illogical so my feelings cooled than a lot when i realize it lol. Its feels like having a debate with myself about my feelings XD. I started to not care about him and not think about him the following days, but he just have to randomly sing me a song with his guitar so yeah, all my efforts wasted.
Bro why is authority spelt wrong on the blocks at 5:33 I mean it could be a metaphor to INTP's "Not obeying authority" what that has nothing to do with spelling :[
I think INTPs could be very good emotionl supporters because we can listen, give good insights, and help people understand that emotions are just signs of what's going on and can be used as a tool, but do not have to be relied heavily on. We can help them sort out their feelings and decide which ones are worth feeling. Once that is done, we will be there to help them with physical needs, like helping with chores, making food, and things alike. We will always encourage them to stick to the truth no matter how they feel and can help them stay in control of their actions and provide clarity to their hopeless situations by pointing out truth, and positve cources of action.
Like what someone might expect from the INTP, I was always perceived as being weird, or social awkward. My school life was extremely difficult, because I would get bullied relentlessly for my constant day dreaming habits and being different from all the other girls. Even now, I constantly dream up theories about theoretical physics, philosophy and psychology. For instance I often contemplate about Spinoza’s logical consistency and the truths he explores, and how much of his ideas even manifested in Einstein’s “Special Theory of Relativity”.
I'm glad to finally relate to personalities just like myself. I connect to school life being difficult, daydreaming and being called "weirdo". But understanding myself is really helping me to break out of the constant need for validation and self-conciousness. Seems INTPs are pretty rare and hard to find since we don't need the feel to socialize and drain our energy just like that.
Before i knew that i am an INTP, i was so depressed because i thought something was wrong with me. My career was going nowhere, cant get girlfriend, all of my projects was unfinished. But now, I just accepted that i am an INTP and aware that it is the way i am. So I just act differently. It is exhausting but i am at least happy.
I'm an intp and all of these habits apply to me but there's a lot more habits that I have like walking around in circles for hours just thinking. I also think excessively in the shower and when I'm supposed to sleep. I get tired when people talk outside my door because I can't hear my own thoughts so I leave the house.
When I watched this, I was just like why are they picking on all my weak points. Everytime I see my friends they are like "where have you been?" I'm like well if you wanted to know you could have asked but in reality I probably would have left them on read.
As an INTP I agree with all of this. For example, my friend, an ISFP, has alot of friends with mental health problems, so on so forth - when looking at how she texts people like them, she's always so caring and shows pity towards them with texts like "I'm so sorry this is happening, I hope things get better" but then I'm literally helping the person with practical solutions and little to no pity T-T Also the amount of times I've had arguments with dimwits (or even my friends) because they took offence on my correcting them and deflating their oversized egos by just calmly saying they're wrong is insane...
At the same time that I know I'm an INTP, I'm watching this video, thinking that maybe it was wrong, just to realise that all the mentioned things are so me... Honestly, I hate when people go bias about things without checking facts or searching first, like buying something just because their favorite idols said it was good without explaining why, or even following their words when doing more important things without think on their own😵💫 So, I just prefer to stay in my mind sometimes without all the useless drama that people try to bring in💕
this is painfully accurate. these are the things that have people labelling me as "selfish" "lazy" "rude" just because i am not doing what they want me to do like bro? even sometimes they think I am depressed like okay idk maybe but you can't just say it as a fact
I can't tell if Authority (5:38) was intentionally spelt wrongly just to annoy us? Had to watch again a few more times just to check (and also look up differences in US English vs UK English just in case). Also I am an INTP 🙄
Ok but counterpoint.. expressing pity and listening to others to provide emotional support is a valid, practical and efficient solution to other’s emotional problems.
Authority is the one for me. I can’t follow stupid. I’ve also been told to act human (have emotions, sympathy socialize etc.) ewww. I get lost in thoughts where I forget to eat and sleep. I start thinking about something else even when someone is talking to me.
Being stuck in our thoughts can sometimes lead to depression. It can almost last about 2 years. I’ve been there (still sort of am). But I’m also ADHD (undiagnosed), so maybe it’s just that.
Yeah, I've been there mate, it's really exhausting... When just a couple of months ago you could create 2-3 full songs in a day, and now it's just emptiness... The only thing that helped was a complete restructuring of the entire lifestyle from scratch.
@@SenselessReeD So True! I’ve started re-doing everything from scratch. I went back to church, I went back to school, and I work a job that makes me happy… all this lead me to connect to music. Somehow music has a role to play in these scenarios. Once I see I’m not feeling music as I once had, I know I’m in deep trouble. I’ve been recently reconnecting to music and life is getting better.
@@matiasmuttoni9044 Yeeah, music is everything! I have no idea what would have happen to me without it. Nothing good, probably. Stay safe mate, have a great day (or night, here where I am, it's 2:30 AM)
Since from young, i know my brain work differently from other people. I am just weird type who sit alone and think, instead of having conversation. And when i tried to talk, it became awkward because others don't understand the topics i am talking about lol.
i have complex ideas about the nature of gravity and time but dont get myself to write it down. i started making several computergames but got bored because they arent good enough. i write scripts for movies but cant decide which one to finalize because of overthinking every detail, it has to be a flawless dramaturgy. thats my only bad thing in my mind. dont get some things done because of perfectionism
sometimes I stay awake for hours at night and think about what would happen if I fall into a black hole and what would happen if I play some music on my phone while falling...but since it's too dark will I be able to see my phone? am I too intp-ish?
The fact that as an intp, I'm usually called out as being a "a sheldon cooper" or even get eyerolls for correcting stuff or trying to attribute logic to everything, from behaviour to religion to normal statements (again, how can things happen without a cause?) Plus legit scene starts if im spontaneous with my answer on a 'think n answer' question in class + life goes downhill if you just cant seem to understand why the heck school has sooooo many pointless rules - teachers go get your head for legit no reason at all wow yep i definitely relate heh-
This makes me laugh. I’ve taken the Myer’s-Briggs test 3 times, and all three show INFP/INTP with nearly equal values in both F and T scales. Life has been interesting.
These generalizations are rather spot on for me with the big exception of the romantic one. I've never had any problem approaching or connecting to women and have always been strongly romantically inclined. I'm happily married to a wonderful woman, an ESFJ.
As an INTP, I usually excitedly repair 999+ logics in my mind to argue logically with someone but it’s so disappointing that people only use their emotions to argue :(
Damn i made a test to see what personality is mine, popped up INTP, watched this video and got perfect confirmation of it, i agree with every single habit you exposed here
for years i felt as i was a weird person, because of time passing i went from ESFP to INTP, and i feel now more identified as an INTP cause when im working on something i usually miss out on jokes, so like irght now, i know the reason behind my bluntness while speaking so i can finally see that i'm not weird at all
7:47 can comfirm, In 9th grade I memorized a map of Europe then Asia. South America is like the abc's. Africa is getting there, but dont even get me started on oceania lol. I hate island nations
I did that back in early grade school, but not because I wanted to or anything. It was because one of the _very_ few computer games on my dad's computer was a program that made you place the countries in their respective places before the borders were drawn in.
7:12 man this is still a MAJOR issue I have. I'm sometimes pretty positive a girl likes me but i take forever to try and understand them and by the time i think I've ready she's already got a boyfriend lmao
Autistic INTP-T here, and hit the nail on the head on just about everyone of these except oh, maybe one. Eesh. Ouch. My girlfriend walked in during the relationships part and started staring me down like, yeah that's you! Lol
When I was in first grade I literally thought nobody understood me and every kid thought I was weird like I would literally go lay down on the ground just so that I could daydream and I wouldn't participate in any group activity on recess. Teacher's thought I was lonley without any friends when in reality I didn't want any friends due to the fact that nobody understood me.
When friends don’t understand when I said , leave me alone,I need to be alone.., the one don’t listen, I left them into the past, they won’t show up in my future again…
As an INTP-A, I can not think of one senario where I have been, or ever will be passive agressive. I will insted argue to the death until a good idea is accepted or until it is compleatly clear there is no way a good idea will be accepted. Being passive agressive.... that is just not something we do (in my experience, at least).
Strangest thing is that those few friends i have are amazed by my brutal honesty. But in a same time they say im hurting they feelings. But in all honesty i just don't care. If you don't want my opinion, don't ask a question. I will never lie to make anyone feel better.
The number 7 is absolutely true for me, I'm a psych student and when we (me and my friends) share random things, I would often ask "what theory is that?" 😅

Social awkwardness comes from placing too much importance on how you are coming off. I would treat first dates as sharing experiences and learning from others so by staying in my Ne I wasn't putting pressure on myself and by staying chill I would be more attractive and in talking about insights able to showcase my intelligence in an organic, not showy way.

Also, INTPs have a dark side of getting addicted to everything as part of the extreme focus and passion, sometimes the addiction can be other people too.

Sometimes people might say I'm a mistype, and I actually thought so too because I was the best go to of my friends when they need advices but then going back, I realised I really didn't give emotional support but mostly, I am trying to find solutions to their problems. But then, I have come to conclusion that there are other personalities that needs emotional support so I adapted well in the "F" comforting style(I am surrounded by a lot of them), I copied their style, tho that drains me most of the time. And that made me feel guilty cause I usually feel like I am faking concern and emotions.
Thank you so much for this insight!
This is so true!
I'll have to find a book on this, because I feel like I am very weak in this area.
Another intp yui!
I agree with you. I honestly don't care that much when I look back but I just listen and provide "solutions" by analysing the situation. Maybe listening to someone is also a kind of emotional support.
#5 definitely explains why my mother always had particular struggles with me as a kid. She just can't accept a non-conformist by nature, but I love the way I am
Thanks for sharing!
so real 😭
As an INTP-A, I can confirm that yes, we do have a sort of "Google Search" system in our heads for storing information. (I personally would never volentarily part with this system.)
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
Exactly! Database! I'm so proud of it too! Lol
Trivia nights are fun!!
Some of these habits can be fixed with dedication, these are very accurate in regards to me as an INTP-A, I will say, the relationships struck home for me. I looked at relationships like it was supposed to be logical and rejected the emotional elements because I thought it didn't make sense, when relationships literally do not make sense because it's not so much a logical thing.
It wasn't until I started to do less "thinking" and more "doing" that I was garnering favour and building attraction with females, and even then I started to apply a logical strategy to that
Thanks for sharing!
When it came to relationships as a female INTP, I would always get a lot of first dates for the reason that I was physically attractive, but once they would get me to talk they’d be put off my my logical thinking and philosophical-type depth; as well as my social awkwardness. I never really enjoyed dating as I always felt as if I was put on trial by the guys I was dating, and abhorred all the games they would play.
@@sylviaowega3839 a lot of guys are gamey and stupid, as a result of the way some girls tend to act and also society
@@sylviaowega3839 wow. That seems the ideal type of person I would date. You need to try INTP man probably
@@sevenstarofheaven I presume, you’re an INTP man? I incipiently thought you were where a female with that cute girl cartoon on you profile pick.
When I was a teen girl, I would try to steer away from my fellow INTP’s, as I always knew at least unconsciously that we have all almost the same blind spots, but I now being more mature I know I would be better off with a fellow INTP.
I once did fare a male ENFJ/INFJ, whom was interested in philosophy, mathematics and political thought and whom we had several stimulated conversations, but after a few days he winded up swapped me for the “typical woman”, when I was at the university. A few months later, he swapped me for that other woman, because he thought I was too intellectual. Lol
I live with two INTPs (husband, daughter) and I can vouch for their intense imaginations (which often cause them to talk to themselves or laugh out loud in another room), their procrastination AND their romantic slowness... lol! But once you get past being their bluntness, being corrected all the time, and you don't force them to do things on your schedule, they make lovely loyal, surprisingly accommodating, and enjoyably entertaining friends and family members. :)
Lol - we sound like a pet description here - lipop... Oh La La Le'Pop!
@@rekaughnI'm sorry if I offended you, it was not my intent at all. But to be honest, now that you mention it, my INTP daughter DOES describe her personality as that of a cat or a Shiba Inu. lol!
@@rekaughnAlso is it just me? Or do INxPs have a tendency act like cats in that all day long they are inaccessible until the MOST inopportune time (usually when I am working on a project on the computer or wanting to tell them "goodnight") they suddenly launch into a 1 hour monologue about all the interesting thoughts they had that day....
But luckily as an INTJ I find their innermost thoughts delightful and just can't deny them.....
@@windihari no offense, I thought it was funny. Cat happens to be my favorite animal & I've got a 3 month old kitten in my lap now ;)
For number 3 I literally disproved the history book once that we were learning from because it had false information. The teacher was not happy with me. 😂
I had the same issue in kindergarten with the name of a river that runs nearby - but not through - a certain major city in Australia. Because the teacher didn’t know it, and our classroom resources didn’t have it, she probably still thinks I was wrong to this day. But, I went home and checked my atlas (I was a strange kid: my Mum bought me all sorts of books because I was so interested in reading them; yes, I could also read before I got to kindergarten. That was the next problem.), and sure enough, I found it.
All the way to college - I once confessed to a professor that I had to convince myself the history, as presented, was true.
As an INTP,
(who is currently 13)
I am very orderly, and will always get things done, except on weekends. I procrastinate everything I told myself I would do because I feel too tired of a long week of sports and schoolwork
I find it very difficult to interact with most of my classmates since most of them have been there from a young age, and aren't too fond of talking to new people (I move around a lot, so I'm new)
Whenever I gain a new interest, I always go on research sprees until I know almost everything there is to know about that. It's been a habit I've had since around the third grade.
I excel in school based subjects and I have been an above average student for as long as I can remember
I started reading before I even got into school, and I really enjoyed it
The close friends that I do have, I feel as if I love them with my whole heart. I would do pretty much anything for them
I find it really hard to talk to anyone who I find attractive, I'm only thirteen, but there are some pretty people at my school, even though I don't have a crush on them, I still find it difficult to talk to them, as I don't want them to think I'm a bad person
edit: sorry that this is pretty long, I find it really difficult to write in short sentences as I have a pretty large vocabulary and don't like using little words
Same
Older intp here - never stop reading. The pen is mightier than the sword.
You should start researching exercise and diet. How the body absorbs nutrients and how to count calories and such.
You are at the perfect age to start improving upon your body. It's much harder as you get older because of time restraints and lower testosterone and such
Why is this so relatable T-T
I remember doing the 16 personality test 6 years ago when I was 16 and got INTP. Now I'm 22 don't have a high-school diploma because I didn't care to study the subject that didn't interest me, I have a hard time in job interviews because I'm so awkward and socially enept and a friend of mine calls me a procrastinut
You are young and you can turn your life around, it gets better!
I think we need some type of event for INTPs so that way everyone can make friends without being perceived as weird XD
I wrote too much the first time so here is the cliff note first:
I got bored of him over explaining "weird" to me.. I mean does he know who he's talking to....? so I sighed, said "shut up" in a rough mumble and skipped ahead and heard "INTP's are passive aggressive" and busted out laughing!
It was a nice magic trick, he knew we'd get bored and skip -right there-
bravo!
(disclaimer: I know it wasn't planned it's just funnier to think that way)
ok LONG VERSION of rambles and nonsense. if it bothers you then just skip reading it really is just for entertainment and amusement and I will not be accepting criticism but if you have interesting ideas feel free to share them as long as it's not like "your brain is dumb lol what the f is this lololol pen*s!! I eat boogers on toast"
I sigh and mumble "shut up" when he was over explaining weird to me... like dude, I live in my own mind... do you think calling me weird will bother me? But after I said "shut up" and skipped ahead it was like INTP's can be passive aggressive.😂 like a magic trick (yes I'm an INTP who uses emoji's. Usually I don't but I have developed my Fe over the years and if you say "INTP's don't do that" then maybe we developed different but we still have Fe, bud! (Next it will say that we hold grudges we pretend to be over and they come out in random times such as me not getting over how someone was so rude to me because I analyzed the INFJ personality and how their cognitive function structure may make them appear more rare than they are-just a theory
I like weird. But surely logic is not weird. 1.] Passive aggressive? I call it apathy. 2.] Yes, I cherish my ability to tune out distractions. Like ignoring the backseat driver. I care enough that I want to keep him safe, so I keep my mind on driving. 3.] Indeed I can find logical errors everywhere, in my own behavior too. I can argue either side of an issue. I have to! Otherwise I could not know which side is right. 4.] I can hardly finish anything because there will always be more to learn first. 5.] I think it is best, when given an order, to know the reason for it, so that I can believe in it and do it right. Doing the right thing is the most important. So yes, I may ask questions or even disobey. 6.] Romance? Well, there was once a time when this was possible, but it didn't work out. 7.] Yes, I know a lot of stuff. This comes in handy, but it is also fun. 8.] I can explain myself, but most people have a hard time understanding me. Consequently, I am more interested in hearing what they think than trying to tell them what I think. Other people's opinions are also interesting to remember.
My guess you are young. I wish people would give their age. I was socially awkward when I was young but now in my 50s I just don't care. I'm an actress so I can put on good acts.
#6 and 7 is what really stood out to me because I'm exactly that lol.
A few times I've had crushes and knew someone had a crush on me, I made no effort trying to talk or bond with them. Eventually he reached out and we talked for a few months,he said he's willing to wait but apparently in the end he can't take my bluntness and me being "not committed" to the relationship we were building. He in fact did not see that I was trying my best. All he cared about was the results. As an INTP, I care about the steps I'm taking to ensure a clear outcome.
Same but as a dude I remember having a crush on a girl that also liked me even wrote me note that I forgot to read never asked her out because she was surrounded by freinds and I didn't have a phone then she turned hella pretty and grew some big ass honkers over the summer and I had no shot no more
I was typed as this personality today, but I find it hard to relate to it because of how intelligent it seemed, I don't particularly like being science-sy all the time, but I don't like schedules constant boring everyday chores, I also have vivid imagination and was daydreaming frequently, I also hate norms and people that assumes a lot but I also take notice of how I become not rude for them, I either rephrase my wordings while still being blunt.
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
Have you seen infp?
I felt that my feelings towards this man will probably remain one-sided and a secret so I analyzed my feelings days ago to find out why exactly i like him.
I spent hours writing possible reasons why i like him and pinpointed the most likely reason. I found the reason unreasonable and illogical so my feelings cooled than a lot when i realize it lol. Its feels like having a debate with myself about my feelings XD.
I started to not care about him and not think about him the following days, but he just have to randomly sing me a song with his guitar so yeah, all my efforts wasted.
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
2:01 literally wearing headphones right now.
That's awesome to hear! Music or videos?
It's like hearing someone explain my life, like finally someone knows why I am the way I am TuT
:))
I hate how accurate all of these are. Especially #5 & #6
Great to hear! Check, if the dating facts about INTPs are accurate as well ---> ua-cam.com/video/CeYyo4LyU4s/v-deo.html
#6 this is why I think INTPs need to date each other and why we need our own dating groups. I am tired of people trying to change me.
My INTP ass watching this videos while studying for the exam that is only 4 days left for
Bro why is authority spelt wrong on the blocks at 5:33
I mean it could be a metaphor to INTP's "Not obeying authority" what that has nothing to do with spelling :[
"You are not a weirdo"
Me an intellectual : I gotta do more weird shit
;)
I think INTPs could be very good emotionl supporters because we can listen, give good insights, and help people understand that emotions are just signs of what's going on and can be used as a tool, but do not have to be relied heavily on. We can help them sort out their feelings and decide which ones are worth feeling. Once that is done, we will be there to help them with physical needs, like helping with chores, making food, and things alike. We will always encourage them to stick to the truth no matter how they feel and can help them stay in control of their actions and provide clarity to their hopeless situations by pointing out truth, and positve cources of action.
Interesting comment!
I can 100% agree with that, in my small company of friends I've always been some kind of a psychologist
Very well-put!👍👍
Like what someone might expect from the INTP, I was always perceived as being weird, or social awkward. My school life was extremely difficult, because I would get bullied relentlessly for my constant day dreaming habits and being different from all the other girls. Even now, I constantly dream up theories about theoretical physics, philosophy and psychology. For instance I often contemplate about Spinoza’s logical consistency and the truths he explores, and how much of his ideas even manifested in Einstein’s “Special Theory of Relativity”.
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
that is why i recommend to study psychology and history about human na turre (be like kiyotaka ayanokoji)
نعم ، هذا أنا ، اريد ان اتكلم الآن ولكنني سوف اتأخر عن المحاظره في المعهد، تسويف
I'm glad to finally relate to personalities just like myself. I connect to school life being difficult, daydreaming and being called "weirdo". But understanding myself is really helping me to break out of the constant need for validation and self-conciousness.
Seems INTPs are pretty rare and hard to find since we don't need the feel to socialize and drain our energy just like that.
Wow one of my kinds! 😂 Hearing about spinoza theory things like this somehow made me want to read it too! Idk maybe I have some times to do it 😅😭
I'm an INTP, and all of these are extremely accurate.
Great to hear!
Before i knew that i am an INTP, i was so depressed because i thought something was wrong with me. My career was going nowhere, cant get girlfriend, all of my projects was unfinished. But now, I just accepted that i am an INTP and aware that it is the way i am. So I just act differently. It is exhausting but i am at least happy.
Thank for sharing this!
me.
u and me are the same
Procrastination is self-reflection.
I'm an intp and all of these habits apply to me but there's a lot more habits that I have like walking around in circles for hours just thinking. I also think excessively in the shower and when I'm supposed to sleep. I get tired when people talk outside my door because I can't hear my own thoughts so I leave the house.
When I watched this, I was just like why are they picking on all my weak points. Everytime I see my friends they are like "where have you been?" I'm like well if you wanted to know you could have asked but in reality I probably would have left them on read.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, for making a great video. I enjoyed watching this while being lazy🤪
5:11 Me when I think about all of my procrastinations...
As an INTP I agree with all of this. For example, my friend, an ISFP, has alot of friends with mental health problems, so on so forth - when looking at how she texts people like them, she's always so caring and shows pity towards them with texts like "I'm so sorry this is happening, I hope things get better" but then I'm literally helping the person with practical solutions and little to no pity T-T Also the amount of times I've had arguments with dimwits (or even my friends) because they took offence on my correcting them and deflating their oversized egos by just calmly saying they're wrong is insane...
Very interesting point!
At the same time that I know I'm an INTP, I'm watching this video, thinking that maybe it was wrong, just to realise that all the mentioned things are so me... Honestly, I hate when people go bias about things without checking facts or searching first, like buying something just because their favorite idols said it was good without explaining why, or even following their words when doing more important things without think on their own😵💫 So, I just prefer to stay in my mind sometimes without all the useless drama that people try to bring in💕
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
As An INTP I never had a relationship that lasted more than a year
Most of them commented on how detached I was
I am an intp and I can't stop procrastinating. 😭 Too many ideas in my mind fore to focus on one.
Check if you can relate to this ---> ua-cam.com/video/CeYyo4LyU4s/v-deo.html
this is painfully accurate. these are the things that have people labelling me as "selfish" "lazy" "rude" just because i am not doing what they want me to do like bro? even sometimes they think I am depressed like okay idk maybe but you can't just say it as a fact
I can't tell if Authority (5:38) was intentionally spelt wrongly just to annoy us? Had to watch again a few more times just to check (and also look up differences in US English vs UK English just in case). Also I am an INTP 🙄
Or maybe it was a test, if our audience is watching carefully ;) Anyway, great catch John!
Bruh, I literally left the same comment almost worded the same and scrolled down to find yours. Quite interesting!
Lol, just left a similar comment!
Ok but counterpoint.. expressing pity and listening to others to provide emotional support is a valid, practical and efficient solution to other’s emotional problems.
Authority is the one for me. I can’t follow stupid. I’ve also been told to act human (have emotions, sympathy socialize etc.) ewww. I get lost in thoughts where I forget to eat and sleep. I start thinking about something else even when someone is talking to me.
My friend once cried beside me in class. She wailed even more when I told her to take a few deep breaths to easen up.
Being stuck in our thoughts can sometimes lead to depression. It can almost last about 2 years. I’ve been there (still sort of am). But I’m also ADHD (undiagnosed), so maybe it’s just that.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I've been there mate, it's really exhausting... When just a couple of months ago you could create 2-3 full songs in a day, and now it's just emptiness... The only thing that helped was a complete restructuring of the entire lifestyle from scratch.
@@SenselessReeD So True! I’ve started re-doing everything from scratch. I went back to church, I went back to school, and I work a job that makes me happy… all this lead me to connect to music.
Somehow music has a role to play in these scenarios. Once I see I’m not feeling music as I once had, I know I’m in deep trouble. I’ve been recently reconnecting to music and life is getting better.
@@matiasmuttoni9044 Yeeah, music is everything! I have no idea what would have happen to me without it. Nothing good, probably. Stay safe mate, have a great day (or night, here where I am, it's 2:30 AM)
this feels like a roller coaster of being roasted and praised at the same time XD
;)
Every INTP that watched this noticed the misspelling of authority.
Good catches!
Since from young, i know my brain work differently from other people. I am just weird type who sit alone and think, instead of having conversation. And when i tried to talk, it became awkward because others don't understand the topics i am talking about lol.
Thanks for sharing!
Video starts at 1:18
i have complex ideas about the nature of gravity and time but dont get myself to write it down. i started making several computergames but got bored because they arent good enough. i write scripts for movies but cant decide which one to finalize because of overthinking every detail, it has to be a flawless dramaturgy. thats my only bad thing in my mind. dont get some things done because of perfectionism
Thank you for sharing this!
I am intp but i couldnt care less about rejection.
sometimes I stay awake for hours at night and think about what would happen if I fall into a black hole and what would happen if I play some music on my phone while falling...but since it's too dark will I be able to see my phone?
am I too intp-ish?
Well it is difficult to assess, but it is very possible you are an INTP. This video can be helpful ---> ua-cam.com/video/_slDAEnIxxg/v-deo.html
INTP be like: “They numbered Slide #2 as #1!!!” 😡
Watching this while procrastinating studying for my upcoming finals
What do you study?
@@PsychologyRefresh I’m still in high school about to write my finals but I will study chemical engineering in the future :)
The fact that as an intp, I'm usually called out as being a "a sheldon cooper" or even get eyerolls for correcting stuff or trying to attribute logic to everything, from behaviour to religion to normal statements (again, how can things happen without a cause?)
Plus legit scene starts if im spontaneous with my answer on a 'think n answer' question in class + life goes downhill if you just cant seem to understand why the heck school has sooooo many pointless rules - teachers go get your head for legit no reason at all wow yep i definitely relate heh-
This makes me laugh. I’ve taken the Myer’s-Briggs test 3 times, and all three show INFP/INTP with nearly equal values in both F and T scales. Life has been interesting.
Take our Test!
@Vecna yay!! A kindred soul. It's a pleasure to meet you.
This video just read me like a book. Especially, the part about embarrassment of showing your emotions.
Here I am, an INFP, crosswatching this video about INTP. Hi, everyone!
Me too lol
Love this so accurate
I recently found out I'm an INTP and some of these habits explains alot about my behavior.
You get what you deserve and we are what we seem like. This directness is hard to handle but one of our higgest assets.
These generalizations are rather spot on for me with the big exception of the romantic one. I've never had any problem approaching or connecting to women and have always been strongly romantically inclined. I'm happily married to a wonderful woman, an ESFJ.
So accurate!! As an INTP, I can vouch for all these.
5:34 Authority is spelled wrong, you're missing the H.
6:50 I particularly relate to this part, this is exactly how my last relationship went and crashed. Now I just hope to find someone like me
As an INTP, I usually excitedly repair 999+ logics in my mind to argue logically with someone but it’s so disappointing that people only use their emotions to argue :(
For real
Damn i made a test to see what personality is mine, popped up INTP, watched this video and got perfect confirmation of it, i agree with every single habit you exposed here
* Hears voices in my head *
"Nah you're just INTP"
Ok
I'm actually kind of upset at how accurate this is.
for years i felt as i was a weird person, because of time passing i went from ESFP to INTP, and i feel now more identified as an INTP cause when im working on something i usually miss out on jokes, so like irght now, i know the reason behind my bluntness while speaking so i can finally see that i'm not weird at all
thinking about theoretical concepts is really fun ngl
Okay!
Im so happy im a female INTP-T.😅
I mean not to brag but im one of the 2% of the world. I feel so special lol.
Alright!
7:47 can comfirm, In 9th grade I memorized a map of Europe then Asia. South America is like the abc's. Africa is getting there, but dont even get me started on oceania lol. I hate island nations
Do you remember this till this day?
@@PsychologyRefresh yes
@@Ad-qt8lx You have a great memory!
@KP lol i never cared to. If im go into dept about a country then i like to learn the cities & cultural regions 1st.
I did that back in early grade school, but not because I wanted to or anything. It was because one of the _very_ few computer games on my dad's computer was a program that made you place the countries in their respective places before the borders were drawn in.
Jezzz I never realized I m dat irritating to others 😂 but why would I care, when dat others aren’t the ppl I care about
Authority was misspelled 5:34
7:12 man this is still a MAJOR issue I have. I'm sometimes pretty positive a girl likes me but i take forever to try and understand them and by the time i think I've ready she's already got a boyfriend lmao
Autistic INTP-T here, and hit the nail on the head on just about everyone of these except oh, maybe one. Eesh. Ouch. My girlfriend walked in during the relationships part and started staring me down like, yeah that's you! Lol
Lmaoo not me getting pissed that I got called romantically paralyzed 😭 truee
Check if those things are true ---> ua-cam.com/video/Xg0yNaZ_M9w/v-deo.html
Same. Lol
3:21 If anyone takes offense, that only means they are to be directly blamed about what it's being judged. No mercy.
Fair enough!
When I was in first grade I literally thought nobody understood me and every kid thought I was weird like I would literally go lay down on the ground just so that I could daydream and I wouldn't participate in any group activity on recess. Teacher's thought I was lonley without any friends when in reality I didn't want any friends due to the fact that nobody understood me.
When friends don’t understand when I said , leave me alone,I need to be alone.., the one don’t listen, I left them into the past, they won’t show up in my future again…
7:30 this is so true im an intp male and i often feels im like an alien and finding a "mate" is just inpossible xD
Nah but the criticism thing is too true 😭
okay it's confirmed that I am an intp
Damn... so there ARE more more people like me and I am not just weird. This literally made my day so much better.
As an INTP-A, I can not think of one senario where I have been, or ever will be passive agressive. I will insted argue to the death until a good idea is accepted or until it is compleatly clear there is no way a good idea will be accepted. Being passive agressive.... that is just not something we do (in my experience, at least).
Thanks for sharing!
Strangest thing is that those few friends i have are amazed by my brutal honesty. But in a same time they say im hurting they feelings. But in all honesty i just don't care. If you don't want my opinion, don't ask a question. I will never lie to make anyone feel better.
As an INTP I am also an INTPphobe.
I procrastinate when I feel something is beneath me.
Explain more please.
The number 7 is absolutely true for me, I'm a psych student and when we (me and my friends) share random things, I would often ask "what theory is that?" 😅
I love seeing my personality being weird. There's a lot of people here just pretend they're INTP without taking personality test
As an INTP/J most of this is spot on… I buck the system and norms. Prove it! 😅
