Intp is like a vampire. You have to invite us in.
Basically though. Gotta know I'm wanted or I can't be bothered to bother you.
One of the best analogies ever. 👍
And we can have a tendency to stay up at night, or that’s just me. XD
@@radiorebel8223 you are not alone.. staying up for some dopamine hits? Resulting in 3-4 hours of sleep? Well yes why not.. and feeling stupid next morning.
@@salahudeen8567 mood! 1:53am PST
My intp has now decided to get a swing for the garden, as he is convinced swinging will support his thinking process and thus improve his ideas. My Te trickster could not care less of what the neighbors will think. I adore intp quirks :)
Sigh that's great. I love my INTP too. they are so cute and quirky.
i loved my childhood home’s swing-set!! :)
the body has to be sorta working in order for me to thinking: biking, motorcycling, snorkeling with fins, swings, it’s needed!
That's actually pretty good idea, I usually just walk around to achive the same effect
As an INTP, I appreciate your correct phrasing in the expression "could *not* care less."
@@diegoospina4237 Yes, I pace when on the phone or discussing something with my wife, and I hike in the woods to think.
I’m always struggling with telling people “no” and another thing.. if I’m able to tell them “no” I struggle with leaving it at that. Rather I go on to explain my reasoning or am drawn into explaining my reasoning which further leads people into doing their best to change my mind or guilt me into acquiescing. (Edited)
I dont have energy to write an essay about it. So, i would keep it short.
1. Always say "no", when people try to take advantage of you. You will eliminate the potential threat and people will respect you.
2. You are having trouble with telling people" no". To solve that you have to make it a habit. At first it is hard but it become easier. Trust me i was like you too. I would rather make problem for myself than hurting other.
What is worse is when the explanation of your logic and reason is seen as making excuses. Very frustrating.
I had the same problem. The thing I do to prevent this is I intentionally stop myself after saying No. No matter how much I feel the urge to explain, I shut the fuck up. It's hard at first but it becomes easier later on.
To cull is to excise or remove or trim.
Jay Taggert exactly.
I do care about what people think of me a lot, but I can't for the life of me think fast enough to stop something offending or rude from spewing out of my mouth.
Yes.
INTJ here married to an INTP. He is an amazing person. I would have to say that one of his quirks is that he is so systematic that he is really slow sometimes.
Rare, intj female also married to an intp male! Curious if you have children what are thier types?
@@lilykotzev2081 I am still new to this so I think my 9yr old Alyvia an ESFJ . She is super helpful and tries to always help her friends. She is also very cautious and slow to try new things. She loves being around someone at all times. Alyvia gets mad when she is supposed to do something and you do it for her. Lol she follows you around the house and tells you how it was her job and goes on forever.
My 15yr old Meghan I think is an ESFP. She is always loud and constantly on the move. Lol she is a walking tornado. When ever we are around more people she has a tendency to show off and try to do silly things. Lol drives me nuts. Meghan loves art I hate her messes.
Can you give an example on where he acted slow I am just curious. I feel like I am slow too sometimes on reacting to things I wonder if it is the same reason.
@@butWhyDad I am always on the go so I hate to be late. When we have a place to go he will take his time. Anything that he sees that he feels is wrong despite the fact that we have to leave he will stop and take care of it. The best example i have is no matter if the kids are hone or not he will stop and check to see if the pantry is locked. Lol i get annoyed but i know that he cant help it.
Woah, Im an intj too and engaged to an intp😂😂 we definitely balance each other out for the most part
INTP computer joke: We have bad eyesight since our brains process faster at lower resolution.
Edit: I realize I made this joke before.
Probably when VGA was still considered hi-res? :P
@@fleetingfootnotes9133 it support 1080p so yes it is
3 INTPs enter a bar.
*Waitress:* _Will each one of you have a beer?_
*INTP 1:* _I don't know._
*INTP 2:* _I don't know._
*INTP 3:* _Yes!_
Si as third function - > forgetting you already said a joke
Yeah my vision really developed late lol
"The plan was the effort" is so damn true.
This sometimes happens to me even with fun/games: I plan the campain of a strategy game, for example, and that's the fun part, not actually playing. When I was a kid I used to spend more time planning the game (like the lore, the personality of the characters/toys, where every character lives, works, etc.), and then I got bored after 5 mins of playing and started over with another plan lol
Me, too. That's why now I write stories. Coming up with the characters and their characteristics is so alluring...
True!! That’s me playing Sims!!
Yes! How do I get myself to execute more?
@@meadowlove822i wonder, too. Help
I'm definitely an INTP but one thing that never resonated was a lack of fashion. I had 2 older sisters so I feel like environmentally I was geared towards more conscientious style/clothing. I also got a job in high fashion when I was 19. When I started working in clothing I learned fashion as a process/system. I learned the rules and reflected on which ones I should follow and which ones were more emergent verse innate. I definitely still have moments that I don't dress "nicely"; but that isn't due to an obliviousness of fashion/aesthetics, rather it's from my perception on whether attire/fashion is important in the situation.
Exactly. It's true that there is this stereotype about INTPs that they don't know how to dress, but typically it's because they're not that interested/don't pay much attention to fashion. Once we realise the value of dressing well, or take a casual interest in it, we will go about it in a systematic way like we do with everything else, and we can get good at it.
I think if you are an INTP that is interested in arts, or have a parent as an artist, you'll naturally develop a sort of natural eye for what is beautiful (in the general sense) and so you might be good at dressing properly, matching colors, decorating etc. I know I do, but I seldom care to because what's the point lol
I agree. It definitely doesn't apply to me now. When I was younger I used to dress sloppier compared to my friends and family, mostly because I didn't care how others thought of me and the energy required to dress well was too much.
i think it’s another outlet of expression for the intp, if they care to do it. In my years i’ve found myself pushing boundaries or mixing things up in an interesting way. For instance, i think the business jacket with a hoodie is the intp idea of high fashion lol anyway I grew up in a house full of women and in a neighborhood where you would be ridiculed for not keeping up with trends so that’s important to me.
Same for me. My mother was in the fashion industry (she is an ENFJ), so I ended up catching a bit of that. I mainly wear business casual outside, but I will wear PJs if I am at home.
The clothing thing is so true. Personally, I wish we were like cartoons and could just have an outfit that is for us individually and thats what you wear. Or the idea of uniforms just makes so much sense because you don’t have to construct a whole new outfit every day and get your regular clothes dirty
I literally buy pants and shirts in bulk. 5 times the same pair of pants (usually black jeans), 5 times the same shirt (sometimes color varies, but mostly hot colors like purple and darker reds, by popular demand), same with socks, underwear... and a couple of suit jackets / ties that match. Simple, easy, interchangeable (except for the ties), vetted by someone with a better S(e). So my wardrobe is basically Bug Bunny's. And I avoid any clothes with a drawing on it (like a t-shirt gifted to me of Rick and Morty) unless it is for manual work and I don't want to damage my nicer clothes, or I won't meet anyone but close friends.
People often comment on how simple and straightforward my wardrobe is. And cheap.
You might struggle more, being a woman do mean higher standards, but I'd try something similar. Neutral bottom (say black skirt and/or blue jeans), colored tops that are varied, conservative-ish, and all match the set of bottoms you have. Would fit 80%+ of all your clothing needs, just add some really pretty dress once a while to please your partner and you're done.
INTPs are extremely attentive, we notice even the slightest details, and figure out their potential use cases. The "looping in" is often expected, I've noticed that. Cognitive emulation works really well to loop within the present moment.
I feel like I could ask you many questions, but I already know and can predict how you will reply, so why should I ask them? - INTP
This one hurts, too. It's so hard to be interested sometimes *sigh*
Jeez, that's accurate.
Looping in!!!! Oh my goodness, I hate this. I've had this problem my whole life of everyone expecting me to "know everything" and because of that I'm never told anything. I've had to really train myself to be entirely focused on everyone else in any kind of gathering so I can be "in the know" of what everyone expects and wants. It's extremely tiring, but thank you for this. I'm glad to know it's not just me.
INTP Quote
"Saying something is better than not saying anything and doing nothing."
Really annoying when people that say nothing and do nothing criticize a person that creates a plan for doing nothing. It takes multiple people to do the work of a plan. Planning is the spark and fuel to action.
Chase (ENTP) : INTPs doesnt have fashion sense. Me as an INTP watching this video : You say what ?? :D
Hahaha
I knew an intp that routinely forgets to clips his nails--both on the finger and toes--and theyd look like claws. Im wondering hiw common that is across the board for intps. The females might be more fashion-conscious?
@@mars9399 male INTP and i can confirm that i'm horrible at stuff like clipping my nails. I can remember to do things like brushing my teeth and washing myself because they're related to hygiene so i think about them (and body odor is also a good reminder) but purely aesthetic stuff like clipping my nails, trimming my beard, shaving off my monobrow etc always escapes me because i don't notice those things on other people so i also forget to check them on myself. They're also incredibly boring maintenance jobs that simply need to be done the same way without needing to figure it out. I actually went from clean shaven to having a beard not because i liked how it looks (well, not *only* for that) but because shaving is incredibly boring and needs to be done often while trimming a beard requires at least a minimum of precision and multiple different tasks and also needs to be done less frequently.
Bono Giamboni haha thank you! You even understood me with all those typos.
@@mars9399 you're welcome. And just to hammer home the point, it's not that i noticed the typos but understood anyway what you actually meant, i didn't even see the typos at all.
INTP women who actually take a little care of themselves, are utterly adorable.
Of course I'm an ISTP who finds excessive focus on emotions to be annoying, and finds intelligence, clever humor, and quirks to be extremely attractive.
I’m INTP. I wear jeans, trainers, T-shirts most of the time with a ponytail and now no makeup. When I went for nights out though, I liked dressing up in pretty dresses. I’m crap at girlie stuff like hair and makeup, so one day for the office Christmas do, I went to get my hair and make up done for it and when I walked into the room the amount of people who were like “omg I didn’t recognise you” or “wow you look like a girl” or “I had no idea you liked to be girlie” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s like well duh! If I’m going to work, I want to get dressed quickly and wear something that’s comfortable so I can be focused on my work! 😂🤷♀️
man hahahahahaha, that story about the malformed kid make's me sad. 3 days ago my girlfriend suddenly get all silent, then she said her mother runover her 11 year Yorkshire Terrier with the car when she arrived at home. When my girl starts crying and say "my mother took the dog to the vet but it was already dead". Then it suddenly said to her: It surprise me your mother took a 1 kilo dog runover by a car to the vet, the dog must have been ruined. Then my girlfriend started crying even more and told me "LOOK...SHUT UP" theeeeeeeeeen i though to myself: ohhh okaaay.... so sorry.....
It's a very tricky thing to confort people when your mind brings wierd shit into play all the time...
“The dog must have been ruined” 🤣🤣 that’s hilarious
LMAO.
I can totally see myself comforting her, then awkwardly asking how the mom would think that the dog would be able to be saved if it was crushed under a car tire.
As an intp i totally understand
Id say that too and im enfj, but ill probably shut my mouth if someone is visibly upset. Heh
Chase, to your last point about the door-matting. I have been working at planting seeds of selfishness in my INTP brother's mind for the last 3 years. Last year was a big success getting him to leave a super exploitative relationship with a girl whom he was basically being a backup/teddybear for for FIVE years. Would not have sex with him or even kiss him, vent or have any opinions. Would hang out with his male friends making him uncomfortable, yet would get super paranoid about his interactions with females. UGH. It was hard to get him to let go, especially since I wasn't geographically close.
My parents constantly exploit his generosity by "asking" him to do work around their house. They just assume he will do it, and unfortunately, they're right. It really bugs me because they manage him like a resource.
They are both Si hero IMO - do you have any advice about how to make them understand the wrongness of using him like this? I imagine they look at it like it's his duty.
This week we had a long talk about how you have to set boundaries and communicate when you don't want to be in a social situation with someone. We all were raised to have the same problem of putting on a smiling face and accepting what others want while screaming internally because we want to do something else. I love how mold-able he is in the sense that provided my explanations make logical sense, he will have those "aha" moments with no ego about it. Today I saw him post the single word 'No' on facebook. Don't know what it's about, but I feel good about it. His process is slow (I think due to Si child), but steady.
Don’t give up on him
partners* not parents
I know all about that not-being-aware-of-surroundings thing.
Me, strolling down the street, thinking. Do I need something from the drug store? Oh, yes I do. I rush to catch the door before it closes.
Later: "Hey Kitty. Earlier I looked out the window and saw a man walking up behind you. He was gonna steal your bag! You ducked into that drug store literally at the last second."
😮
Yup, can't tell you how many times I took a tumble down the stairs for missing one step, dropped my tablets or laptops, left my glasses on the ground and then stepped on them, or walked straight into benches. Seems to be a universal thing for us INTPs.
@@icaruswindrune7116 I was walking down a steep flight of stairs on the way home from work. I'd just been screwed in an accreditation interview, where I gave the correct answer to a question, but was told by the two senior interviewees that I was wrong. Needless to say, my body was still in this plane of existence, but my mind had packed up and left for the day. So as I'm walking down the stairs, I decided to throw the tissue I was carrying into the air, and kick it. The rest is history.
@@snoweh1 That tends to be the case for me as well. Albeit I haven't tried kicking a tissue whilst walking down a flight of stairs - but I tend to just go absent minded and do one thing that ends up getting me hurt (like pulling out a book to read while walking, which causes me to walk straight into benches and poles).
I know someone that is an INTP and complete strangers tell this person very personal stories, but INTP are good listeners, so I guess they don't react to what details are being said. They also listen in social situations and have the dirt on everyone that they can use later and have everyone analyzed perfectly. Also it is all about the planning and not the execution, so I had to laugh at the table-cleaning analogy. They are very observant and quick thinkers which makes them sum up things quickly and with myself, being an INFP, I have to digest how I feel about what is happening.
im INTP and EVERYONE tells me their personal stories and when total strangers do that I never know how to act so usually I say nothing expecting that they'll stop and leave me alone but they DON'T hahah
@@semloHssiM Maybe the INTP just has that competent look that says they will have the right solution to any problem. Inside they are probably just thinking how to get out of the situation.
sunset4ever29 ive always tried to give advice because I thought that’s what people wanted but with time I’ve learnt that sometimes people just need to whine and complain about stuff and not necessarily need an advice. It’s not like they’ve ever listened to me anyways 🤨 I hate socialising
@@semloHssiM They are listening to you I'm sure, they just need time to assimilate your advice. It's up to them what they do in the end.
I'm INTP and this also happens a lot to me! People often open up and tell me their secrets really quickly, and I'm always puzzeled because I have no idea what I did to inspire that level of confidence. If it was something intelectual I would understand, but, like, feelings and personal problems? Where are all the INFJs in these people's lives that they had to come to me for comfort and advice?
I'm an INTP and have a story. A coworker about a decade ago was telling me about how she had several kids and some were miscarriages and others had some developmental issues while others were healthy. I quite innocently asked if she thought about not having kids due to the genetic problems she was having. I guess she took offense and told others I'm not nice. I wasn't telling her to not have kids, but was wondering if she had looked into or considered the risk of having kids due to the track record. I just wanted to know. It didn't bother me too much that she was offended because I thought that she just misinterpreted my question. I've learned through the years what to say and or choose my words even more carefully as to not to be taken the wrong way.
Lol. I did something similar some years back. I knew someone who wore their health/genetic issues on their sleeve with a sort of pride. One day they were talking about plans to have kids and I straight up asked them if it was a good idea considering all of the issues they and their husband had. Ofc, I didn't say it out of maliciousness but of genuine concern for that future child. Let's just say that was the last time they talked to me. Lmao.
@@klake4773 It can be tough to see emotional things coming. I think INTPs don't hint at at what they say either. People interpret words more than hearing what I say. Last year my wife and I were at a pancake place and she got pancakes with no syrup. She ate her pancakes saying they were fine without it because they were sweet enough. When the waitress asked how things were I said something like, I wonder what the pancakes would have tasted like with syrup? She was like, so sorry for not bringing syrup and stuff. My wife thought I was mean and refused the syrup. I'm like, I'm just wondering if they would have been better or different with it, but the waitress interpreted it as, you forgot my wife's syrup and I'm angry with your service. Idk, I don't interpret my words or hint, it can make me look like a jerk or inept or clueless in social gatherings. Funny story though
@@sethfeatherston4382 Cool story bro
Happens all the time as an INTP !
@@DimashCastellucci Me too! I always have another story! S(i) child can have its upsides.
I've noticed in any classroom, the best thing you could do is let me sit in the absolute back or at any place where I can see everyone at once. At a social event, you couldn't sit me down in the middle of anyone. Compare to other people I am very okay with awkwardness even when the other person is uncomfortable (depending on the situation).
I used to always sit right in the front, under the teacher’s/lecturer’s nose so that I can avoid all the BS that happens in class and just try to focus on what’s being taught and zone off...
Why would you go to a social event in the first place? from a fellow INTP
I only experience awkwardness when the other person feels uncomfortable.
"Facts don't care about your feelings."
🤣 I love this!
My mother used to tell me that my responses are like daggers i stap everyone around me with it .. it was so rough and overly frank .. so i changed that i developed my Fe so much that i am almost a feeler.. now i can't relate anymore to INTPs being a walking robots 😂
I'm pretty happy being an intp lol
The first comment you read was really accurate. We do ask the wrong questions at the wrong time lol
Also I didnt realize what a dopamine addict I was until just now. Sometimes I'll search and search and just wanna learn something I consider relevant and if I dont I'm just like 😔.. that's a wild but truthful analysis
lol i honestly relate to that whole "search and search to learn" thing i will spend literally hours youtube watching educational content
rewatching this while not cleaning my room because i already moved everything in my mind. Freeking gold
Teetering the line between Indiana Jones and a Village Person. 😂
en plein air artist from the channel islands more like
I have this problem as an INTP where I get lost in thought and then I forget where I put things. I once lost my phone for a week and then I found it in the fridge at work. I am sure that kind of thing happens to lots of people but it happens to me all the time.
I’ve been forgetting Hingis a lot Lately like my mind is a fog. He told us that si has really good memory but I’m wondering if this is for long term instead of short term.
The trick is to deliberately put the phone in your pocket for three weeks whenever you're not using it. That is enough time to establish the habit, and muscle memory, so you'll do it without thinking about it. It also works for car keys, etc. I'll get distracted and forget about the phone in my hand and later it'll be in my pocket.
@@DreamQuillRose this truly works. and i noticed a batter at a pro baseball game was mimicking hitting the ball as the pitcher pitched to other batters. I assumed he was building muscle memory. Brilliant!!
The major external difference between myself (INTJ) and my INTP bro is that I can dress well.
Well I would think I can dress well.
Minus a few mishaps.
Also that I'm more assertive. And waaaay more direct.
And he's nice to people and I'm sorta mean.
And I'm extremely impatient, he's fine just sitting there pondering sometimes and I'm like, "Can we please finish the project already?"
Chase: INTP's sense of style sucks, transformer shirts, etc.
Me, an INTP (5w4): *Wears the most flamboyant and colorful shit ever whenever I get the opportunity* Am I a joke to you?
“Proper” dress is completely subjective. 👀 I am all about the color too!!
PLEASE DO MORE INTP CONTENT
Second that!
I’ve never met people like me before!
"Some semantics...I mean some. antics."
The planning to clean up and then not doing it is 100% me lol
These quirks defined me more than anything I heard or read.
E
I was wearing simple clothes, correctly, separated in my closet like other INTPs.
Annoyed friends and enemies by correctly folding up long sleeves shirts vs rolling up or wearing just t-shirts.
If you're still not sure why you should treat INTP's with gratitude and respect, just imagine what the world would be like if Elon Musk was embittered and resentful. That's what a real-life supervillain looks like, people.
Elon is an Istp with Ti Ni oscillation
@@medstudent1613 No
Where to start...yeah, I got stuck there for a moment. Some of my "Quirks" growing up (and sometimes still):
When I was a kid, my parents thought I was retarded because I would continually drop things and run into wall/doorways ( I still do these things as well as get cuts and scratches and not know where, why or when it happened). Also, because I would finally chime in on a conversation after mulling it over in my head, but everyone else was now 2-3 conversations beyond that one.
My parents also had many "heart to hearts" with me about being empathetic with other people and taking their feelings into consideration. I thought I was by explaining what they could have done differently/explaining why it happened. I remember one time I got in a fight with my cousin who ran off and told my mother I hit him. When she asked me why, I told her he hit me first. My mother then said I needed to follow the golden rule of treating people the way I wanted to be treated, which I answered that was what I was doing. I was fulfilling his desire to get hit since he hit me first.
When I got a little older, my older sister (an ENTJ) went into my closet and created a number system for me to know what will match with what. Then my older brother (an ENTP) decided to conduct an experiment: he was going to switch up the numbers and see if I would still follow the system...Which, of course, I did - he would continue to be a thorn in my side until he moved out. My sister would later proof read my essays and other schoolwork and help me translate what I was trying to say so others (namely the teachers) would understand.
I'd say that's enough for now.
Coming into the knowledge that I'm an intp (in the past few years) definitely put many things in the proper perspective. I remember in grade school when a girl that apparently wanted more of my attention pouted to her friends on the bus (within earshot of me): "Of course Tomi's not going to apologize - you all know how he is; he doesn't care about anything."
I can't recall what I was supposed to be apologizing about, but I do recall being aghast. Like, do people really think I don't care about things lol?? Just because I'm aloof and reserved doesn't mean I don't have feelings. I remember thinking - "I'm human just like y'all; I have feelings and so of course I _care_ ...just not that much." Good video, Cavern Spelunking Joseph. I know that's redundant:-)
There is a statistical correlation between near-sightedness and time spent indoors during childhood/teenage years. I'm not sure if there is a definite explanation for this phenomenon, but it's real, and INTPs do tend to spend a lot of time engaged in indoors activities.
So, which came first? The nearsightedness or the indoor time? Which one reputedly causes the other?
it’s more of a civilization problem: suburban development (physical world), prevalence of media, and now worse with the internet, phones, etc. intps with enough nature are fine.
@@rp627 Yeah, for sure. It's quite noticeable that older generations in recently urbanized societies have a lower incidence of nearsightedness. It's only getting worse.
@@DreamQuillRose That's the question. I think intuitively a case could be made that not enough time outdoors would cause a higher incidence of nearsightedness, but there is no definite scientific evidence for this, so we can't really be sure. For now there is just a correlation with uncertain causation. It really could be that nearsighted people just prefer being indoors more.
I have questioned the idea that INTPs have no moral behavior for exactly the example you brought up; that I go out of my way not to care what people think about something politically incorrect if I morally feel the need to address the elephant in the room. I see that pressure to conform that my Fe feels as a moral problem and try to err on the side of saying it to fight allowing a sense of timidity to grow. I have noticed that my conservative approach to faith which I thought stemmed primarily from morals is in fact pragmatic as since I see the Bible as accurate then the logical thing is to follow its wisdom. This is a problem at times as I have to be on guard against legalism.
Funny how popular intps are on paper but not in real life😢
As an Australian INTP, I loved this video chase. 👍
I think intps are good at puns due to trans-contextual thinking.
Its interesting what you said about attentiveness. It makes us really good at reading people and noticing patterns. Introverts have high cortical arousal levels. Intps may have the highest by distribution.
Someone did that to me too on Quora. People suck. But you don’t suck. Thanks for another video.
I had an INFJ friend , I considered him as someone close, despite of that he accused me of not considering him as a friend(funny) , after he accused me of being so, I don't consider him as a friend anymore . Apathy mode is enabled & im completely indifferent to him , he didn't expect that
That’s mean 🥺
that's interesting. I have an intp friend that's very good with her Fe and she told me once how she was hurt when one of her new friends commented that she missed their other friend cuz it was getting boring here. I could see how that can hurt someone but me being an Fe parent who has also sometimes experienced that, it didn't really bother me. I have realized that the kind of comments that hurt a NTs feelings might sometimes not bother me at all.This one striked me as one of those. If someone said they don't think I'm their friend I wouldn't try to explain myself but probably joke back and comfort them, idk. I guess you did a lot for this friend and she never acknowledged that and made you feel unimportant? I currently have a friend that gives the same air, that treats me a bit less than a friend cuz she thinks I do the same
@@aladdout9454 My friend circle is really small, only consists of 4 people now ( used to be 5 when he was one of my friends). Personally, I take friendships ( and other relationships) in my life v seriously. I would not say I was 'hurt' , rather 'disappointed' to see all of my efforts, nurturing, unconditional support etc went in vain. When apathy kicks in I don't feel any kind of emotion related to that person (& it generally kicks in immediately).I am v selective about the people I call my 'friend' , I knew what he said is not something that cannot be joked about.
@@Ab-ub2ii I've noticed infj guys can be difficult to reason with. My friend is dealing with one rn.
@@aladdout9454 yeah ig
Definitely can relate to the being taken advantage of part. Recently someone pointed out to me that I was so busy making other peoples jobs easier , (but not one person reciprocated ) That I was stressing myself out thru this behavior…I stopped focusing on others and let them deal with their own stuff and now Im finding I am getting a-lot more accomplished and the stress has minimized…
I’ve noticed INTPs cannot resist the urge to pop bubble wrap. Bubble wrap is like crack to the INTP.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaa????
🤣
I nearly rage when someone throws out perfectly good (unpopped) bubble wrap. Plus, do you not know how EXPENSIVE that stuff is!?! Seriously, people.
yup
I tested as INTP, but have been thinking it as wrong. I realized I am INTP just an angry & jaded @ early stage in life. so brutal sarcasm & plainly stated observation regardless, even in spite, of your feelings.
Love the new setup! Also that hat made me smile so hard. I have these issues all the time at work and it is obnoxious. Particulary when I can see what is wrong with a system or an action doesn't make sense in the frame work.
Excellent work, I just recently found your channel. Thanks for this, makes me feel a bit more understood - even to myself : )
As always, these videos are so insightful and funny. I relate very much with your coworker anecdote, as my late dad was also very violent to me when I was a kid, most of the times, without having a real cause for that. Not that he was an evil man at heart, he was just violent because he didn't know any better and because he didn't realize how deep a mark that leaves for the rest of your life. Is that a quirk too? I mean, I'm almost 50 now, the man has been dead for over 13 years, I never think about what happened back then, and yet when I hear a similar story something snaps and now I need pizza and wine. Anyway, thanks for your videos :-)
I just wear black and gray in solids. Everything matches, no longer weird
INTPs are so cute... Really wish I could meet one and help them out get their best future using your adviceS
INTP content gets the fastest click from me
H-300 I am
Same, I also like feeling unique and social
@@wilsonnester750 We don't use the S word here. Especially is followed by "interactions".
@@wilsonnester750 INTPs are naturally not social especially due to Fe inferior anxiety and wanting to be and feeling "unique" sounds very Fi-Te user statement.
Nicohakuu1 Oh I’m definitely not a naturally social creature! And I’m sure I’m throwing the word “unique” around a bit too freely, but could you explain how unique is more Fi-Te? Or point me to where you’ve learned about it? Personally I consider someone wanting to be unique to be very childish.
As an INTP. I have a theory. People are not always their main type. Subtypes for an INTP would be INFP ENTP INTJ ISTP. I know I was ISTP phase as a kid until 7-9 when you prune the most neurons in your life. INTJ as a teen until hormonal maturity. INFP until pre frontal cortical maturity around 25-30’sh. ENTP I haven’t entered this stage yet. But I can’t wait I’ve never been an extrovert before. I think my meta awareness causes me to behave ENTP like though
this isn’t pretty accurate for me too (istp child, intj teen to young adult, entp short adult phases, intp end) psychologyjunkie is spot on though, with phases of life.
If you go, an Aussie trip sounds amazing! Hopefully you meet up with Jab :)
I hate how this is 100% true
Especially the Part about executing plans
I make the perfect plan for something then get lazy to do it
How to fix this problem in me ?
Leave execution to other types. Like seriously doing things is such a bother. Except thinking. That's fun.
@@AlpharexxI can easily make plans for others to do
But the problem here is I'm on my own right now and these plans for my life 😂😂
Yeah my intp bf also lacks the drive, so he asks me to remind him and tell him he must do it. So i do Just that 😆
@@mars9399 what is your type?
Honor 9 Lite ENFJ enmegram 2w3. People have questioned if i was entj, enfp, or even infj. But ive examined the priority of my functions, and im enfj. I dont know how statistically similar i am to other enfjs, but i know a lot on forums and chats that sound sensory to me.
You rockin that hat, mr chase 🤠
Bad wardrobe story! I'm a woman in my forties and an INTP. About 20 years ago I bought "appropriate" shoes to wear to someone's wedding. I had brought those, ankle boots, and sneakers with me to my husband's sister's house. Well, I walked around in the new shoes and got huge blisters. SO painful! Anyway, I considered wearing the ankle boots and put them on. Yes, to a wedding... a dress and BLACK ANKLE BOOTS. Before you judge me too harshly, remember the skin on the backs of my heels was shredded. So anyway, my husband looks at the boots and says, "You look like a Russian immigrant!"
This got a lot of laughs until I threw a boot at his head that narrowly missed him. Despite being multi-talented, I suck at throwing. 🙁
Comfort is king in my book!
I came across this channel, I'm sure I'll watch and learn all I can about intp, and maybe a little about the enfj, the Mrs, and then get bored and head on to next. I decided I want to take up blacksmithing in my spare time, but having made the decision I haven't actually done anything to make it happen.
Is it common for intps to turn to drugs? I was thinking about us being the greatest dopamine addicts.
Is porn a drug? Asking for a friend.
I would say they're definitely equipped to become addicted due to Si child and their apathy vice. Idk what the prevalence of drug addiction is in INTPs compared to other types though
Being addicted to drugs is generally more an Se user thing. SPs are the worst substance addicts.
After closer consideration, I think intps might have a more rational approach to drugs - seeing how most drugs cause long term harm and lead to addiction, so that they will be more ready to choose not to inflict that harm upon oneself than other types because of their NT. I have to speak for myself here...
But on the other hand, we are not controlled by anti-drug dogma and social acceptability. So I suppose whatever the choice is, it will be selfish. Not based on the opinion of others.
Chase said XXTPs have the most issues with drugs and substance abuse
The plan was the effort.. that`s why I loved the sims so much.. all I did was planning
I think the main difference between intps and other people as far as glasses goes is that intps just don't care how other people see them so they will choose performance(bifocals with larger lenses) over appearance(frames with small progressive lenses or contact lenses) when choosing how to improve their vision.
Weird hearing about myself not being able to say no. I feel like I try to avoid getting into that trap in mainly my work life so I curb it. It's like my morals tell me I should help people out if I can, but I've learned that there are so many bad things that come with being a yes man. I'd rather be seen as cold by people to avoid being taken advantage of at this point.
How much is true for INFPs? I could relate to every detail...
I mean "every" detail. Not just the thing with bad extraverted sensing.

Ok, I paused the video. And here's what I would have done in that situation:
"Actually break a window".
I won.
HAHAHAHAH
@@pnarimani6055 Fantastic !
About the "coldness": yep. I have to rein in those tendencies, especially when I'm distracted or multi-tasking. A while back I was talking to somebody who is VERY religious, someone I had to tell " I don't agree, so let's not talk about it," concerning religion.
Anyway, she was talking about how her brother's baby had been born with Spina Bifida. IF, IF I had wanted to be a bastard about things, I could have said: "Do you still think god makes no mistakes?"
Did I say that? Nope. 😇
I think I said, "It happens to the best of us, sometimes," or something similar. That was a factual statement that did not mention statistics. Nor did I ask her if she believed in karma (her brother's a bit of a cruel thieving scumbag and liar).
😎😇😃
Or maybe his wife lacked folic acid during her pregnancy.
@@mars9399 It wouldn't surprise me. According to his sister, he always says stuff like, "You're really going to eat that?" whenever his wife eats anything, because he wants her to look the same as she did when he met her, despite having kids. But anyway, I didn't say I believed it was karma. Any reasonable person knows that the baby gets its nutrients from the mother's diet. Is it time for "he shouldn't have been so cruel to her", and "She should've thought of her baby when he would say that" ? Maybe, but what's done is done. Lesson: don't marry shitheads; take your vitamins, and if you're an INTP, remember that other people may not be thinking in terms of logic, and would find you to be "cold," like Mr. Spock on Star Trek.
That first example with the baby hit a little too close to home for me an acquaintance recently developed a brain tumor and I felt really sad for him but I also had to bit my tongue not to ask a tons of medical questions.
I remember when one of my teachers in school died of cancer, everybody was crying and I'm like "what variety of cancer was it?"
I still haven't gotten the answer 😂
The intros alone are worth watching👍. Plus great content as always.
Same problem with Quora😪
My friend, when asked to describe me, said, "He is warm but very sharp with his words" while making a stabbing motion.
Intp with 20/20 vision here! ✋ I also hate puns and suck at most board games, but Im an ethnic kid so part of that is a lack of emphasis on language being all that important to connecting with people.
I went to a pretty small school in Arkansas, just to give some background on the types of people I dealt with. Continuing... in 3rd grade we were doing math problems. I can’t remember the exact type of problem but that’s besides the point. I had developed my own method to solve any problem my teacher could throw at me. She was baffled by this and took me to show two other teachers of different classes in the small hallway conjoining the classrooms. They put down a piece of paper on a desk and wrote a problem, then told me to solve it. I solved it without writing anything using my rational and there immediate reaction was to tell me I was stupid for trying to make new ways to do math, and to just stick to what your taught. They didn’t say it in a polite manner either it was like they were yelling at me. This upset me deeply and I ran into the bathroom crying. From that day forward I had no interest in what a school had to teach me. I went from being regarded as the smartest kid in my grade to an eventual dropout. My grades in school slowly declined from 3rd grade all the way to 12th grade when I dropped out. It wasn’t that I was incapable to do good in school, but as time went on I had more and more similar experiences with teachers. My disdain for the system grew more and more. I even tried to get the freedom from religion foundation to file a lawsuit against them, to no avail. Guess you could say it’s a quirk.....
People say I have a unique shuffle walk and they can always tell when I'm approaching off sound. Though this is likely less an INTP quirk and more my own.
I do sometimes forget where I am and I don’t even see what’s around me when I’m imagining.
I almost punched someone. They hate me now lol.
I feel I need to process this in my logic map.
3:42 very true of the pun/Freudian synthesis
When I read about people dying in the news I always want to know the details of how they died.
Lmao I forgot how sassy you are big Ne energy
Oh man, the glasses comment 🙈 intp here, got suckered to read at early age, wears glasses since 1st grade.
Yes, your theory about the glasses is correct. The more one reads books, the more one is likely to need glasses, and the more likely it is that his eyes will continue to worsen. The stress on the lens is unnatural and causes the eyeball to elongate which continues to distort the focal distance. Optometrists and ophthalmologists will tell you otherwise, which is all you need to know that it's true. If you think about it, prehistoric humans likely had perfect vision--you needed your eyes to hunt not to focus on things close up.
I remember reading the same quora post a few weeks ago lol 😂
Soooo accurate
The way you threw the fluff ball 😅
(Aw, this came out on my birthday!)
1. Poor eyesight: I read about a study where kids who spent more time outdoors (or maybe it was just UV light?) were less likely to be short-sighted and need glasses. It does make sense because if we're indoors dreaming, thinking, creating, our eyes won't develop distance vision so well because the body doesn't need it.
2. I'm the last to know a lot of things. At work, I find myself being nosy just so I'm aware of what's going on. So, sometimes I'm one of the few people who does know something, but I think it's more of an issues with having introverted leadership than anything else.
Gold Coast is my hometown lol good luck not letting the people do your head in! 😅
On a practical level... Keep an eye on quarantine requirements if you're headed over this year.
that hat is good but I'm so not used to it I feel like I just got transported into another dimention lol xD (plus a polo shirt would have been better with it :D)
Man, I identify so much with this.
This is going to be fun
I find it amazing that you mentioned about an INTP, who wears a Transformers shirt and watch every single Transformers episode! I’m an INTP, and did watch ever single episode and movie of the Transformers! Lol That is besides all the science fiction and fantasy books I’ve read!
I like it when you smile and laugh....
INTP males have this unexplainable cuteness to them. 😂
Omg I literally spend at least half my life looking for things! I can loose something within minutes.
My INTJ husband gets sooo annoyed! 😆
I'm intp andI am very myopic, always have been, but didn't know it till I was 12 years old. I'm aware of a correlation between myopia and IQ. Most seem to suspect that there must be some sort of genetic link or as you said that reading might contribute to degradation of sight but I suspect my experience as a child, not being able to see the world more than three or four meters from me clearly, contributed to my having both a high IQ and developing into an intp.
To find my way around I had to map things in my head, not being able to rely on seeing distant landmarks , I would rely on memory and location specific details more than a normal person perhaps would.
If I was seated at the back of the class, I couldn't read the blackboard so would have to work out formula etc on my own quite often. You see where I'm going?
Just a theory that might be worth pondering.
if Iow se users are less surrounding aware could it be that low si or ne users are much less worldly aware or something? My family always tells me how dumb i am because i don't know about relevant social, political issues but i just don't really care usually
One of the 5 civil duties are to be aware of political issues... but I can’t say that I bother as much as I “should”.
That could be true. I'm isfp and i'm not very worldly aware. I was good at studying and passing tests in school/college but i forget a lot of what i learn I don't pay too much attention to keeping up with politics, news etc. Whereas i pay a lot of attention/importance on what's happening in the moment around me. I think my intp superego can come out when i'm tired/stressed tho and then i tend to fall a lot, walk into lamp posts and drop things 😄
Enfj with blind Si here. I once had to be hospitalised after having a fun text conversation with someone involving quizzes. I didnt realise how sick i was until it was literally unbearable. I think i worry my family sometimes lol
Dr. (Jones) Joseph.
Honestly the first post as an INTP makes me cringe a little. Anyone with a central nervous system knows that you probably shouldn't ask "what malformation your baby have"? or other insensitive comment concerning tragedies. However I would agree that my hunger for information about insignificant details is insatiable. I'll ask for details about what someone eats for breakfast; eggs? How are they cooked? Olive oil or butter? On bread? Whole wheat or plain? Do you eat your croissant first, then drink your coffee, or do you dip your croissant into your coffee and then eat it? I want every little detail so I'm 100 percent confident I understand.
apparently i do not have a central nervous system
Does being attentive also mean having great spatial awareness - also from a social point of view, like making sure you're not walking in anyone's way, etc?
I think SE trickster would actually make you more likely to walk in someone’s way. Parking lots are a dangerous place for INTPs lol
I'm an INTP who spent the majority of growing up in a rural area and always in the woods for hours. I also played running back and linebacker. I did not grow up indoors with computers and had 40/20 vision (could read from 40 feet what 20/20 vision could read from 20 feet). When they gave me a professional IQ test at 8 years old, my spacial awareness was beyond what any of the researchers had ever seen. I could trek through the woods on rough terrain quickly, analyze moving spacial complexities like a machine and react playing football, or when do technical driving such as driving on off-road terrain, avoiding wrecks, or on exceptionally long rural drives... but to be that way, I have to be "in the zone". Thinking is turned off for awhile and it pure attention and reaction. Everything is pure instinct and time slows down to me to the point it's barely moving at all. I was able to maneuver my truck while doing 3 - "360's" in the drizzle across one side of an interstate, through the median, and across the interstate going the other direction without hitting anybody and continue driving the other way to the last exit. When thrown into those types of situations... there is the opposite of fear, there is an immense calmness to where you barely breath and your pulse is super-low. Time stands still and you calmly maneuver the gas, brakes, and wheel in precise small increments calmly as if you were almost meditating. There is a heightened sense of awareness in complicated, dangerous or potentially lethal circumstances to where you perform like an android. Then when you're at peace with time to think... you run into tables, drop everything,, and don't even remember where you are or what day it is (possibly even while mentally analyzing and thinking deeply about your experience of one of those, now past, events). I have unbelievably great spacial awareness once I'm "in the zone", as an athlete would say... but when I'm not paying attention, I met as well not even know what planet I'm on and accidentally knock everything off my desk, trying to pick up the first thing I knocked off my desk.
@@antonboldsword3770 experiencing that has made me think i may be a mistyped istp who's in touch with his ni
That's not what he means when he talks about INTP attentiveness. He's talking about their ability to give their full attention to a task, cause or person, rather than wasting it on things that aren't important and/or being apathetic
@@antonboldsword3770 Have you found ways to manipulate yourself into a flow state?
I was an athletic INTP, as well. Didn't have a choice due to being on the taller side most of life (6'4). I always found that I performed best when I was in a flow state and when I wasn't it was like watching a deer in headlights. Training/consistency provided more confidence in actions/moves/games, but it paled in comparison to any activity that I performed under a flow state. I've been trying to figure out how to hack that state of mind and utilize it to learn and perform other task and it's been hard to develop a concoction. Whether it be using cold showers, lifting weights, meditation or small doses of marijuana I've been consistently trying to figure out how to get myself in that focused instinctive state.
will you do a "which type is most likely to be beaten as a child" video. it may not be socially correct, but I wonder about everything. I just wonder why everyone always wanted to beat me as a child 😂 exception was my grandpa, the champion board gamer. he could never be beaten so he always "beat" me in games, haha. I guess he didn't want to risk losing his best gaming opponent. i suspect he was istp, very quiet.
only you understand us mr J :(
lol wtf is this comment
A woman was sitting at the table with me and couple other women at work and she was talking about seeing a weird light in the sky and I asked where was this?....she said the sky in a confused way and everyone laughed...I meant where was she when she saw it. But we all got a good laugh at my dumb question.
Can’t believe that people call you an ENTJ. This was filmed in one take, with all of the “bloopers” included. ENTJ wouldn’t show up on the screen impersonating an Australian. 😆
Seriously though, all of the anecdotal examples of INTP that you gave, does that sound like the way an ENTJ would make their points?
I relate the most with intp. ---infp
I hate it when people expect me to know 😒😒
Yeah I know right and cause im not all in the action I kinda end up left out even to the point of not being told stuff. I hate asking too so i just end up completely out of the loop and it sucks. I like to support from the background but i actually have quite a bit of knowledge which I feel doesn't really get utilized...
And as an INTP, i relate a lot to INFPs for some reason, probably because i have a higher fe than most INTPs.
Thought this was an interesting video. Recovering drug addict INTP here with M.Ed. In Rehabilitation Counseling (coming to find the counseling part is not my strongest suite, so more focused Ph.D or Psy.D here I come). My DOC (Drug of choice) has always been geared to the serotonin based group (opiates). I have never had any desire for hallucinogenics, which makes sense cause, brain control freak I do be (haha doobie, get it). Also not much of a fan of the dopaminergic focused rewarding centers either (cocaine, methamphetamines). So I was wondering if there was a source for the claim that INTPs are dopamine chasers in regards to drugs? Or were you more speaking of a rewards center high on life type of preference. I normally wouldn’t provide that “out” in regards to possible meaning, but I think I’ve had a tendency to be a little hard on you here on your channel in the past...
