OK, it's on.
INTP vs INTJ
- Thread starter Pride
- Start date
Ehhh, L's thought processes were not completely INTP despite what we wish we could claim. I watched it a second time and I had to admit to myself that many times, I would have NEVER come to the conclusions he did. It just would not have occurred to me. My reasoning is that the writers almost gave L (and there is no argument with Near) almost psychic powers. The moment Light did something, L somehow picked it up. It is all part of scripting. Though there was always a clever way of them somehow 'knowing', in reality, it would have been nearly impossible for them to arrive at said conclusion just due to the very small chance one would have to take it into consideration. Ne does have its limits.

Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin
I thought Brian Griffin was INFP.
Can't relate to him at all. I do act like him at times but he has a very strong sense of morality and isn't really into exploring the spur of the moment like Stewie. Always restrained and fearful of exciting adventures.

Seth MacFarlane I could see as INTP or INFP, but Brian comes off pretty NT-ish for me to consider an NF type.
It's a cartoon show so the characters are always being played around with, but the old Stewie from the first season(the plotting evil genius) is what I consider to be the main Stewie.

Those are some nice stares.
Brian doesn't seem to change much in that aspect. In fact, he maintains a good deal of knowledge in social skills as well. He isn't socially awkward or technically orientated in anyway. He seems like a well mannered writer by nature who seems rather content with his life. He also never fights with anyone physically despite all the shit he takes.
At least I can't relate to that.

Well, he is known for dead-pan commentary and being in the background until the family's antics force him to speak up as the voice of reason. Though, the show doesn't highlight any of his social awkwardness if he has any and he has no problem with dating. Still, saying he's INFP(a Feeling type) is a stretch since he doesn't really exhibit idealistic tendencies, is not much of a dreamer, doesn't demonstrate any emotional intensity, and besides the family doesn't seem very interested in connecting with other people.
You say you couldn't relate to him and I remember some things you've posted gave me the impression of ISTP, but Brian is a cartoon character and I don't know much about you so that's not really strong reason by itself.

I just wanna say this!
I'm figuring revealing names is relatively safe here, but my name is Armani & I know someone named 'Armand'. This Armand guy is, apparently, INTJ & he had me take the test to which I got INTP, to which he replied (after I told him my result), "We're more similar than I thought."
I always think that's interesting.. You know, replace the last letter of our name and results.

I have actually begun to doubt that. L is far to forward with his reasoning IMO. Though he has a quirky side to him which displays a few oddities, I see no signs of procrastination or disorganization. When thinking outloud, he always has a solid and set-in-stone foundation of reasoning which he easily explains. INTP's will come to a conclusion, but have trouble explaining how.
Also, L was at the top of his class in school (unless this part was simply forged to allow him into Light's college). I have yet to meet an INTP that has a willpower/attention span to have such a high performance in a seemingly meaningless task. A J is far more likely to pull something along those lines. Upon L's emulation of human thought, though it could be considered 'perceiving', it must be considered that he was part of a special school which trained children to become as such. That could have been a learned trait, not exactly natural.
As for Light being INTJ, I suppose it is possible. A good friend of mine who is an INTJ, we are constantly debating about something. He enjoys to take whatever I say and grammatically correct it or scour my words for a hint of inaccuracy (though the intended message that came across was completely accurate). We get along great...we may just make others around us confused. Rather funny, actually.
Anyhow, I would definitely type L as an INTJ whie Light is a bit more vague. His idealism is rather...interesting and very overpowering. For him to have such a need and sense of responsibility to become a 'god' of the world, that is not exactly a logical basis. I do not think that fits into Te or Ni. I would argue it could be a very skewed Fi.
