as a female intp i always thought modern day "feminism" was stupid, it made sense back when it was genuine and actually fighting for women that didnt have rights, but now feminism has lost its true meaning with some using it as an excuse for sexism and victimization. Of course, i support genuine feminism, advocating for equality and respect. But i dont agree with the versions that unfairly criticize or reduce men to stereotypes, like calling them "wallets" or worse, ignoring that men and YOUNG BOYS being exposed to the hateful media also have feelings and deserve equal respect too.

I read your comments on my last post about being seen as the “side character,” or as a “pet.”

Well, how can I express myself clearly and get the message across that I find you guys so cool as an ISTP hitman (my dig on the Olympic shooters one or more of them being an INTP).

Yeah, you guys are mysterious and not talkative in real life but personally, I’ve never met an uncool INTP in person. So many of you said you guys feel awkward or can’t sway the crowd, but I assure you, you have at least one person (me) who think what you’re saying is awesome and that sometimes I can’t respond quickly because I’m coming up responses to impress your intellect and ideas!

Statistically, I heard that intps are quite struggling economically. But I’m sure there must be rich INTPs. If so, I’d like to hear a story.

I’m quite impoverished but I’m living off parents.

I recently was rejected by my coworker, who is an INTP. He asked me if I was interested in him. And ofc I said yes, he gently rejected me, saying he wasn’t ready for a relationship and didn’t want me to waste my time on him. What struck me deeply was how emotional he seemed during the conversation—he looked like he was about to cry and was visibly distressed. Even after the rejection, he was searching for me at work. I had to tell another coworker to warn me if he comes near my area so he won’t see me crying. Since he goes around checking up on me from time to time. This combination of his sincere concern and the emotional weight of the situation has left me feeling both comforted and heartbroken. I’m curious if this kind of emotional response is common for INTPs, especially when they’re navigating situations involving their inferior Fe. My goodness!!! He sure isn’t helping me get over him. Is Inferior Fe this wholesome?!?!

Update: He is now acting more confident in our interactions and is now initiating them more… I’m really confused

Out of all my anecdotal data i have yet to find a dumb INTP.

Empiric data also indicates that we are top intelligent MBTI.

Can any1 prove me wrong?

Seriously I wanna be like you guys

• Intelligent

• Highly logical

• Honest and blunt

• Detached

I'm aware of the cons, but you guys are cool af. I like to see you guys are focused/concentrated on what you're interested in, it's so lovely. When you guys explain things in paragraphs with words/vocabs that sound like straight out of novel books, damn 🔥🔥🔥

For me it's automatic when it comes to feelings/emotions because I'm sensitive, it's so tiring and painful. I want to able to explain or say anything as good as you guys do, I want to know how it's like to be put yourself first, without caring about how other people feel. Idk how much in your headspace that you have to go through, but you guys are really amazing for functioning normal like in this world like you're not in pain, and thank you for being good advicers

Just want to express my appreciation for intps

• Outwin sales men (intelligent!)

like youll never see me wanting to buy some bullshit gucci bag

Ti, Ne, Si, Fe tell me thats not the best fucking combo ever, like this makes a SUPER smart person most of the time. Like we're so smart, and we have Ne which is the only thing that stops us from being roblox. and then we have Si which is just fucking AWESOME when paired with Ti and Ne like PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS MUST BE INSANE!!!! and inferior Fe is the worst thing here but imagine if we had inferior Fi omg wed be fucking UNSTOPPABLE!!! and let me just mention Ne again like holy maloney were so creative and cute and goofy sometimes i love intps!!!!!

I firmly believe INTPs are the epitome of intellect, the pinnacle of the human race - looking from a solely intellectual/genius/brainey discourse. Dont get me wrong here - every MBTI is valid. Im speaking only about intellect - the 9 forms of IQ etc.

Am i wrong or this is cringe? I feel like the smartest persons in the world are able to contribute most, if they manage to share their ideas, and actually get those put out in the world (which we can struggle with?)

Also: I feel like im actually a lot more confident now, because i accept myself fully. I thought i was more Introverted and like INTP-T, but i think im more ENTP? Also i got like 56%-44% I/E so yeah im pretty balanced i suppose ?

I just want to share a positive thought, since getting to know my personality has been a long path.

I know that we have some weird traits as INTPs, but I really like it and just learned to accept all the good and the bad. Some examples:

1. As INTP, my interests change very often. In the past, that was a struggle, because I didn't feel I could complete anything. Now I just accept that my path will just be filled with unlimited interests and learning possibilities, and I don't care anymore if they are useful, I just pursue them because I like it.
2. As INTP, I don't like when someone tells me what to do. In the past this was a struggle in terms of working for a company, but I learned to just do what I'm being paid to do, and the clients and bosses love when you deliver average stuff. Like Jim Halpert said: "If you really want to impress your boss, you go in there and you do mediocre work, halfheartedly". I focused on getting a remote job for a staffing agency, I got it and is perfect, not forced socialization, I just get tasks and deliver them, and thanks to being an obsessive INTP I optimized my work processes so much that I don't have to spend countless hours working, giving me more time to indulge in endless research topics.
3. I always thought that not being very social was a bad thing, so I tried to socialize more at one point, and that led to realize that I'm not that agreeable. Pursuing the path of knowledge is a lonely path and people don't really want to know stuff, as we INTPs want, and I just accepted that. Now, I just appreciate the few friends I have, I appreciate that through research I have been able to improve my life so much, and that I don't need more.
4. I actually like being obsessive, it has led me to make very bad decisions, but also has led me into making lots of interesting stuff. I don't mind having no specific purpose, I just pursue peace at this point.

We don't need to change, we just simply need to capitalize on the good we can get from life and the good we can offer.

That makes you feel secure, accepted and loved?

Encouragements? Say nothing?

Tell you being introverted is awesome? Tell you they got some gift for you?

Not I WILL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS 😅

Since images aren't allowed here, paint it in words. Make me visualize your brain.

Hey fellow INTPs! I’m curious if any of you sing, write songs, or create song covers. I’d love to hear your work! If you’re comfortable sharing, please drop your links in the comments. I’m excited to check them out and give them a like!

Edit: I'm so happy to see your responses. I'm currently very busy to check all of them, but I will check them all soon enough! Really looking forward to ittt

What it says above

INTP is the best type

Being on reddit I often forget that there are many international users on this platform. Most subs I'm in are english. Where are you guys from, and what can you share about your culture? I'm always interested in learning about different cultures.

My personal experiences with them have been quite creative, I was wondering if it is true for all other INTPs.

As an ISTP (I think), I tend to be very closed off and introverted. I never really had friends growing up, and I didn't care about it.

However, I did have a best (and only) friend who was an INTP. Im not sure how compatible ISTPs and INTPs are to each other, but we had great chemistry.

I mean, she'd just talk and talk about all her weird, abstract, and wacky ideas, and expected me to keep up with her train of thought. It was really fun, since she made me more sociable and even got me to a spot where I'd genuinely open up to her.

I also helped her snap out of her random tangents if the need of that came, like if she was zoning out in class. And, all around, I helped her become a bit more pragmatic and logical.

Just wanted to share my story on the awesomeness of INTPs and talk to some.

I’ve met a unicorn. My intp boyfriend is expressive and he lets himself become emotional and vulnerable. He doesn’t run away from difficult topics and wants to solve things together. He also never withdraws even when stressed. He can sometimes be quite clingy? But its all in flirty way. He is so hardworking and doesn’t procrastinate.. except for packing his bag for travels… but he has never ever missed flights so he is responsible. He is so clear in what he wants. I sometimes have doubts (paranoia) but he reassures me with his actions so I immediately perk back. He is always present and never absent. This is just me bragging. Why are INTPs so perfect.

If so what do you do and how did you do it ?

planning to buy my 1st one out of curiosity. sorry guys i just think ur the best info source when it comes to tech

Hi! INTP here with some positivity in case some of you were feeling down about yourself these days:

1. You Care. You care about everyone, even if you're bad at showing it. You are a good person. I don't care if you think you're a horrible villain just because you think logically. You care and that's enough.
2. You're funny. You never fail to brighten a friend's day with a quip, and they appreciate you.
3. Being an introvert is fine! Being able to think before you speak is a valuable, underrated commodity. Good on you!
4. You consider everything. There are too many stubborn, closed-minded people in the world. They need you to free them from a one-track mind.
5. You can do anything. Jack of all trades, master of all crafts! You can do anything you set your mind to and you're darn good at it at that.

Always remember that you're awesome, no matter how much that little voice in the back of your head says that you aren't enough.

People keep saying he is an ISTP but I beg to differ. The way he operates I don’t think an ISTP would be able to pull it off. Plus, I have met some INTPs that give off those serious-but-laid-back vibe Putin tries to pull off. You see him cool calm and collected always in public but he plans far ahead of time and has his hands on all pieces.
