Hello! 
this is my first time posting up a forum, I am a new user. I would like to learn more about the emotions and character traits of what is usually seen in an INTP. To start of with, when I was growing up as a kid and even when I was in my teen years going through high school I tended to seem unemotional or robotic if I may add. It was so bad one time when I absolutely HATED being in a high school that I didn't feel like I belong in, it was so bad that I was even nicknamed as "serial killer" or "young Frankenstein" at a few points being that I'm pretty tall for a guy. Anyways...back to the subject! As I never really expressed my emotions until lately this past year or so I found out as my Fe being inferior it started to become more noticeable or "developed" (I may say) by debating or discussing topics of my interest. Lately my topics have been covering MBTI mainly and how the functions work. Another thing that I and my family (also girlfriend) noticed is that I can seem somewhat scatter-brained, strange, eccentric, random, getting bored easily (whilst never finishing projects that I start a lot of times) pulling in ideas from within the present moment, coming up with hypothetical situations when introspecting, forming of what is "possible", what-ifs, the science behind of "how" things work, branching off from one idea to the next, and needing someone to come in and form a conclusion with certain topics as I would think they are needed to "see" and "pinpoint" what is needed a lot of times. In other words I love to brainstorm aloud like many INTPs I would assume. (I would think this is my Ne function kicking in and I wear it with pride usually
) Yet I can seem very analytical at first as if I think only to myself and no one else really knows what I am thinking unless I portray my "in thought" look and try to show what it IS exactly I am thinking. I also can appear quite stubborn and standoffish. (All probably, because of my Ti). I even broke the ties of reality within my mind once and was not properly diagnosed within a hospital, although I was schizoid or schizotypal from what I believe, I was misdiagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, sadly I had to find my self through introspecting and opening up more, but now I am a much more better functioning adult and that's what matters right?
Now it is my last two functions I don't exactly understand completely yet. From what I understand Si first looks back at what does "work" from the past and Ne comes in to see what IS "possible". I never use this function as my first two.
Another thing I've noticed from Fe as my inferior function is that my girlfriend and family still point out that I can still appear "emotionless" and more "rational" and or "thinking" Now this doesn't bother me exactly, I just find it bothering sometimes that people don't think I have emotions. I realize that I don't have Fi as dominant or as auxiliary, but when I DO express emotion it is viewable to other people around me (especially my family and girlfriend) Before I used to think that the Fe in me wanted to bring forth a more idealistic nature in me, yet I found this as a foully because I alway thought it as misleading.
Another thing is I HATED math as a subject throughout school and I still do! I just find it boring to be in a math class. I realize to be an INTP you don't HAVE to like math, in fact I would dare say that many INTPs hate the redundant mathwork in school, but can find a more intriguing and interesting way to come about learning math quite possibly (this I don not know for sure, it's just from my point of view) Yet I do love the sciences, music, philosophy, psychology, and history. I have a broad view of them all though of course.
Anyways leave your insights if you will!
(Edited) I also am absent-minded and forgetful A LOT.
