Hey everyone, I used to be active on this forum about 10 years ago, and it really helped me through a tough time when I was younger and figuring things out as an INTP. Looking back, I'm amazed at the patience the community had with me back then. Fast forward to now, I've become a doctor...

Hey everyone, I used to be active on this forum about 10 years ago, and it really helped me through a tough time when I was younger and figuring things out as an INTP. Looking back, I'm amazed at the patience the community had with me back then. Fast forward to now, I've become a doctor...

Hey my people; I'm back After a hiatus of nearly 7 years. I was extremely active here in my 20s (now in my thirties) and Reading my old posts I realize how Silly I was back then and i'm ashamed by the number of spelling mistakes too. I'm happy to be back and si many things changes: i'm no...

I'm not Sure if it's typical of INTPs but i always wanted to be immune to social conditioning/social control through conformity and social norms...etc Basically I've always wanted to live my life the way I wanted. Not to sound arrogant but I'm a multipotentialist meaning that I happen to be...

Hey guys, who amI exactly? Can someone tell me? I constantly score INTP but many people have pointed out How I might actually be an ENTP or anINFP instead. The reality is I might actually inbetween those three. What seem to be certain is that I'm some sort of an NP. I heard that ENTP were...

Hey guys, I've been thinking lately about the notion of attraction and attention in the public Space. Lately i've been analyzing interactions in public Space and one thing struck me hard was... Attention(or mini love as I call it...). It seems as we live in a love/mini attention deprived...

Haha; i felt like a misfit for the first 25 years of me life; almost autistic in the beginning.Yet my desire to gain social power and social acceptance made me take certain life traditional choices... While it's true i prefere novelty.. Now here am I, late twenties and I actually feel normal...

I'm particularly interested about cognitive biais, it seems to be everywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases heck it out, there are so many cognitive bias. I'm curious to know if there is a science/ discipline studying them( philosophy maybe? neurophilosophy...

OK, i get that homeschooling takes time, money and effort. I'm also aware that developping social intelligence is important. But besides those, why not? Personnaly I've struggled the first 2 decades of my life with school issues( not enough autonomy, not enough time to explore the things...

LOl; I had a pretty crazy school and (baby)career trajectory. Retrospectively, it appears to me that I consistently need a break every 4 to 5 years because I get some kind of nervous breakdown. I've heard that INTPs were notorious for their drop out rates and tendecies. I get it every 4-5...

I'm not an economist(far from that, heck, I hate everything that is related with money), but It seem obvious to me that capitalism is directly and indirectly responsible of a lot of pains in this world. Things could be exponentially improved if people had - if not a basic income- their basic...

Hate is a strong word. But I hate it. I hate the poeple around me. I hate people who come too close from me: ideologically as well as physically. I hate the people who think like me. I hate proximity. My family;the people who chose the same job as me; My " friends"; My neighbours; The...

Have you ever thought about what makes an interaction with someone or with a social group succesful? I believe that that secret thing is : VALUE ADDITION. When you can come up with extra value in a group setting or an interaction, you are viewed in a positive light(for a moment of course)...

answer. now. NOW! And if it is, how traumatizing is it? Can we have life PTSD? What are the risk factors? Can we desensitize people to not be as traumatized? thanx bro

What is it and how to develop a strong(or evn stronger) character especially as a young INTP? President Lincoln is said to have had a faultless caracter. Einstein also was one of a kind. Is it the ability to not crack under pressure( or social pressure)? The ability to think for oneselve...

Are you? It seems that I'm always busy calculating and adjusting what would be the "optimum" for a certain thing: optimal wife, optimal job depending on own goal, optimal age to marry, optimal place to live taking in consideration other factors, optimal number of kids to have,...etc LOl, is...

Hey guys, curious to know if there is some B-type superjobs? In other words, where do we find high achieving/high functional B type personalities? Perhaps Business and start ups or jobs in IT? other ideas?

Days after days, I see living proof that poeple who are in a position of losing are way much more developped on a moral stand-point.( atleast on a surface level !). I arrived to that conclusion by collecting infos over years: fat women, black people, immigrants, beggars, low socio-economical...

hey guys, I have two questions... 1° Are INTP types more distinct from other types( In other words, do INTP physically stand out from the crowd in social situations= do they send a weird energy?) or is it that INTP's self-consciousness kicks in all the time and makes us nervous in new...

Lately I've been self-consious, as a kid I used to be used to be ignored or dissed by other kids(I just thought they were dumb.. NEXT !) who didn't understand me. I didnt' care at all since I was perfectly conscious that I was different. As an adult, it gets odd when people( especially people...

Me says: basically ... to get laid and to land a hot quality girl. Depressing? I know... anything to add?

to older intps. was it a game changer? did you feel better about yourself? I mean i could imagine that kids would take the nihilism away from me and give me an actually solidly good reason to live for. And also make me more happy and fullfilled.

Hey guys, lately i've been reflecting on these things... First thing... As you all know i love women, i always loved them but only began to envision them in a sexual way very late.( because of shyness, low sexual drive, inexperience,...etc). Since then things got mad and hard... I began to...

hey guys, are intp naturally assholes(or think of them that way?)? or is it just me? As most of you im a loner and have always been, but im also nice and accepting most of times... the problem i get is when i try to "behave" too nice from my own good. I think society tells us we should...

You know our holy model the Einstein, Nietzche.... and the likes? It seems that modern day genius are first and foremost business genius... I'm thinking of Elon Musk.. this little boy is a forty something and has big dreams. No one would have thought of him as a genius before he became...

LOL, I'm kind of disapointed in MBTI... I really imagined MBTI to be something more than what it if. I gave it too much credit. See I've been travelling around on the internet trying to meet, see INTPs... And the funny thing is that they are as normal as you can get. OKay, they might...

There are those rare moments when I felt not only good but GREAAATTTTT; it's not about love, not about friendship but a constellation of a whole lot of things where I just felt great... and curiously attracted and charmed everyone around me and where everyone agreed with me and were compliant to...

It seems to me that wanting to live a virtuous life is quite a bit incompatible with competitivity... so how to combine both? Let's remember that the path of virtue is that which makes a person a "good person living a balanced and happy life" whatever the religion , beliefs or culture...

What are the basis/ origins/ mechanisms of brainwashing/ mind control, is there any specialist in here? I'm interested at how society gets people to do the shits they want and how they somehow force us to obey, go to school, to date in our own socio-cultural layer, to find a job, to live...

Hey guys, After gathering informations from several different sources it paradoxically appears to me that INTP- the supposedly socially awkward and autistic guy- have generally the potential to have the greatest understanding of human psyche.... Why is it so? I think it's pretty...

I long had this feeling that only creative outlets could make me happy; but now it's becoming clearer and clearer that really I'm just a creative guy, and all I really needed to be happy is pretty much three things: moderately well paying but simple job, some loving and interesting...

Lately I was searching on " the realities of social mobility" in the context of a fear common in INTP= fear of the light= fear of success and its consequences(mainly because we are afraid of losing ourselves and to change )... and I stumbled on the interesting notion that type of education(...

Hey guys, ok, it's been a year or two I've been here and I'm seriously bothered by the reflections I get out of INTPs here, constantly, chronically, all the freaking time on this forum and with pther intp fora also.... depression; mental issues; focusing on one's worst parts/ less brighter...

So, what can I say? I love beautiful gals, seriously I'm addicted to them and in one way or another they are driving me mad, all of them... because ya know, I want them all, all for me.... But they don't seem to want me so badly. SO here is my ranting, I just want to speak about those girls...

...And especially in a non INTP workplace setting? I mean seriously, when u need to be evaluated by dumb superiors who are incapable to see the depth of your soul, than what to do? Some superiors think that I'm just a clown and I'm getting a bad reputation. I simply seem to be inappropriate...

There is a certain idea that is quite popular on the internet: having a job or working for someone, having a salary... is for dumb people. The best overall thing being finding a way to generate automatically money(with a blog for example or a product) while sleeping/practicing what you love...

What Should I choose: Pediatrics, Psychiatry or other? FOr now I love pediatrics and psychiatry but can't fucking choose. Psychiatry seem to be my dream job but working with kids is just a magnificent experience... I'm also beginning to question my INTPness since INTPs are not supposed to love...

Why do I fail to recognize intelligence in my peers? Explanation: I am supposed to be in an environment-- I infiltrated it in order to study/ analyze a group considered to be one of the most intelligent one in our society(because of the intellect obsession of INTPs)-- of highly intelligent...

Is it a conscious/ volontary, semi-conscious/semi volontary process or is it rather a involontary/ unconscious process ? elaborate please.

Why people do not become wiser, smarter, deeper and more balanced with age( as theory predict it !) ? I'm sometimes amazed to see how older people act dumb and go crazy or act childish-likely sometimes.. just like us youngsters... I find it crazy... I don't think that people of my type(...

What are the various ways in which we can-- artificially or not-- magnify our personality type? What does a magnified INTP look like? How to appear as a quiet but strong, powerful and influential stranger? I ask this because it seems that people don't see us( we don' get noticed! And we...

I feel kinda happy and proud to state this; but yeah, I think that working in the neuroscience field( which is a pretty broad and multifaceted field ) is the best or even perfect job for an INTP nowaydays. I've thought about it before and really, it makes sense... If you had to translate ancient...

How do you deal with poverty? Seriously? Can you seriously grow into your( "become who you are" said Nietzche) full INTP potential without the proper money ? Do you think that the expression of/ fruition of intellect in INTP is directly dependent on the quality of the upbringing(money?)? I...

Is it possible to not be completely influenced by the local culture(consciously or unconsciously?)? or We are doomed to forever be biased toward our local culture? Is the denial of local culture the best thing for objectivity?

Here is an interesting research and study: http://lclane2.net/decision2.html So,what do you think of this theory? Ever heard about it? In very short what it says is that high IQ people when given a certain cognitive task, will consistently do better if they are aware or prepared to do the...

How does our intelligence function? My theory is the following: our INTP brain try to be the most efficient and cost effective possible when it comes to achieve a certain difficult cognitive task . For that same reasons, it is impossible for our brain to work continuously. It works...

Now, this is a real problem. I'm very attractive, very cold but yet very charming, knows how to make girls love me without a lot of effort( mix of chamr, sub-manipulatory processes, great dancer,...etc), pick up pretty easily.... but still don't know how to substantially connect emotionally...
