- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- Designed for writers and method actors who have never studied psychology and who have no interest in studying psychology. This series outlines each of the sixteen Jungian personality archetypes to better get you inside your character’s head. Special emphasis on how each type processes and priorities information, the nuances of their communication style, how their humor manifests, and what each type looks like as a villainous character. This week's focus is on the INTP's personality.

Any other INTPs here who like to “organise” their mess? I mean, I can have tons of empty water bottles in my room but as long as they're arranged neatly, they don't bother me. I usually throw them out when I get my (sort of) occasional energy rush and motivation - I call them my “INTJ” moments 😂
I don't know for sure if I am an intp or not but yes, I also do this.
Yes
"There is Order in the Chaos and Chaos in the Order" xdxd
As an intp this is incredibly relatable
I always call it an organized mess lol
I've noticed that so many INTPs (and as one myself) struggle internally with combatting a god-complex but also feeling like they're not good enough.
As someone who has been married to an INTP for 13 years, yes--this is entirely accurate
I agreee omygosh
Yes! I simultaniously feel like I'm an idiot and the only person on earth with a brain. I'm aware that both cannot be true, but I'm so equally confident in both that I cannot dismiss one theory in favor of another.
Oh my that hits me hard
Cant relate. Its important to see how your abilities effect the people around you. It wouldn’t be productive if you’re ego inflated your sense of ability in correlation to others’ abilities. Although i am pretty hard on myself when i’m stuck on something
When I can alter the Matrix, I am getting myself a dragon.
Hell. To. The. Yes.
Loved it.
I want two, one big enough to ride and a tiny pocket dragon.
When I can alter the Matrix, I will upload GTA SA cheat codes
i've always wanted a dragon. give me.
Am I the only INTP that has a sudden burst of enthusiasm at 2 AM (such as surprisingly wanting to clean or learn)?
Edit: I have edited this comment 3 times so far for the perfect sentence.
Me 100% people ask me why im up and i tell them " i think better at night" . Clean or learn is CORRECT. Lol
YEAH I STARTED LEANRING FRENCH AT LIKE 2 AM LAST NIGHT
Your sentence is perfect and your name is max INTP.
@@LMDinNC why thank you, person.
Wow r u me
As an INTP, when I have a moment where I exit my comfort zone and achieve a new level of comfort with something that once scared me, I will genuinely refer to that moment of growth as "character development" to those close to me. I'm such a fucking dork.
Lol! Yeah, you INTPs are pretty adorable like that :)
Sometimes I even feel gaining the skill points with levelling up.
@@Tilnaor Me too!!
So trye
@@Tilnaor that's litterally how I describe skills. Some people are born with more points or more skill trees unlocked to put points into. But if you grind you gain more xp and can level up. Lol
INTPs
They think they could conquer the world with only 5% of their effort and five minutes later they’ll start complaining about how dumb they are
INTPs
They think tons of creative and revolutionary ideas while they watch memes in the bathroom
INTPs
“School is dumb when you know what you want to do with your life” *proceeds to read random pages of Wikipedia*
You're not wrong...
Exactly right
Bro, this is too accurate 💀💀💀
You cannot resist a good " I Told You So...
You can tell when an INTP is trying so hard to not say it. It's like they have to physically restrain themselves, lol!
Even intjs do it😂
Being an INTP is such a curse, you're constantly overthinking everything, remebering seemingly random emberassing situations you where in years ago. You want to do stuff, but never do it because you think its not worth the engergy in the end and then the thinking starts again like what if I did it(but you still don't do it). Every thing you think is important to you is totally irrelevant for all the other people around. Also I feel like I have a big godcomplex because it feels like you can predict what happens, but then you are also constantly reminding yourself that thats absolutly not a good way in life, so you are telling yourself you are inferior to counteract that(which is really selfdestructive). Also you can't talk with anyone about that since they would most likely think that you are weird(which is probably the case(which I hate(which is the cause(and on and on and on.....)))). It's just constant selftorture that only amplifies the more you think about it. I hate what I am.
feels good to have sai... written that.
Your post reminds me so heavily of my husband when we first met. He struggled so hard to get out of his own head and not beat himself down. Coming from someone who loves an INTP, what will help you the most is to help others. You need that responsibility like you need air. It will make you happier, it will quiet that voice that says you'll never measure up, and it will make you smarter. No one can beat the INTP when it comes to improving other's efficiency or in creating systems for others who aren't good at it. You guys rock at it and it makes you so happy. Once you understand a system you can instantly see the potential break points. Hubby is a teacher now, and he's been able to advise admin away from numerous decisions that would have made the transition to virtual even more chaotic. Getting the gumption to do the same for yourselves takes a freaking act of congress and you need someone like me (NTJ) to flat-out order you to do it, lol! Or to frame it in a way that makes it about not-them ("Honey, we need to eat better because it's our responsibility to model healthy behaviour for the children. That's our job as parents and their future health and wellbeing depends on us to do it.")
INTPs have this tendency to put themselves on the back burner (especially in regards to their health), but will bend over backwards for others. This usually means they get taken advantage of which feeds your internal negative narrative, so there is a balancing act and it's your responsibility to make sure you are spending your attention and caregiving responsibly. It's the difference between caregiving and enabling--are you helping others improve themselves and avoid problems, or are you bailing them out when what they need is to feel some consequences? The first should result in respect and appreciation, the latter the opposite.
I hope that helps
It feels good to read that, you truly have taken the words out of my mouth
This is 100% me, and even I also think its weird.
Holy shit. I don’t know how to accurately express through text how relieving that was to read. Especially telling yourself that your complexes arent ethical so you degrade yourself in response. I still don’t know how to combat that. It’s so hard not to feel superior when everyone around me seems to lack my “level of awareness.” But even in saying that I sound like a dick Who thinks I’m better than everyone else. I don’t think that but I wish people just saw the things that I see. It sounds complicated and stupid but I feel so crazy and alone in my thought process. I predict EVERYTHING that ends up happening and still no one listens to me or sees the patterns and how the outcome is connected to the beginning. It feeds my ego admittedly so I have to stomp it down to keep it in check.
Hahaha! It IS weird to see other's thoughts shared that so completely reflect my own. "One of us! One of us!" The reason I chose this particular thread to weigh in on was the writing style: multiple interlacing sentence fragments organized in a Russian nesting doll of parentheses- I thought my thoughts (and this writing) were the only ones so convoluted. Reading this was like rereading my own musings.
Oh, and other replier mentioned the prediction thing where we can ALWAYS foresee the bad thing coming but are incapable of getting anyone else to acknowledge- and then when it DOES happen just as we predicted no one remembers that we saw it coming. It's called the Cassandra Syndrome - watch Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys movie.
You can see my own sentence fragment/punctuation writing style here. I wouldn't be able to write a paragraph were it not for multiple commas, parentheses, and dashes. I get that's not a comfortable style for other personality topologies, but that's the only comfortable way for me to express how I organize thoughts. I'm currently procrastinating from a very important task right now, so I'd better get to it.
This was amazing. Too many of the personality videos on here are lazily put together videos of people sitting in front of a camera talking for 40 minutes. You gave us something to look at in the background and examples of what you were taking about through movie excerpts. Really allows your viewers to full encapsulate the idea you are trying to put across while keeping them entertained.
Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was going for ☺ I'm learning myself as I put these together, and this is the way I best get my head wrapped around new information, so I'm glad it works for others, too :)
When buzz was lying there without his arm attached, I felt that on an existential level. Lmao
lol!
So Hiccup is INTP, well, that explains why I love him so much, he is literally a male version of me, he even have brown hair and green eyes xdxd
Everyone loves Hiccup. You can't not love Hiccup, just like you can't not love Toothless, lol! Thanks for watching!
@@cynthiapayne9906 I still feel identifi with hin in many aspects. I'm 5w4 and I've seen he is an INTP 5w4 with his wing 4 making some misstype him as INFP.
Being him also more of my ideal-self with him developing to 5w4-8 while I'm still a 5w4-7 with things to wotk out. After all 5s are at their best when goes more 8 than 7.
The good thing about INTP hiccup is he has assimilate his ENTJ shadow. That helps him lead the village and his team.
It happens the same to me. Usually my favorite characters are the ones I can relate to, and this feeling gets even stronger once I notice they are also INTP. This is why I love characters like hiccup or kakyoin from jojos
I have literally never identified with a character as much as I did with hiccup, so that explains a lot lol
I’m literally here to procrastinate. Also, I still can’t tell if I’m an intp, infj, or intj.
Lol! Well, it sounds like you've got a lot of it narrowed down, which is always a good start :) Thanks for watching!
I usually vacillate between infp to intp moments too....too bad!
I can't tell if I'm an Intp or Istp.
Me with INTP and ENTP
Just take the test.
I love watching videos on INTP's because living in a house full of extraverted feeling people my whole life made me feel like an anomaly and like something was wrong with me. Seeing that all the odd behaviors and differences I have from my family are normal and that people understand them so well is such a comfort and a confidence boost. I know you made this for writers but from an INTP, thank you.
Glad it helped

Same
Love the description absent minded yet organized. INTPs are a walking contradiction.
Yes, but then again, we all are 🤷♀️
This is way too accurate and it makes me uncomfortable ._.
Why do you think I haven't done my type yet? 😶
@@cynthiapayne9906 that makes sense :')
best for me: im not a computer person you know, or a work of any kind person, but i sort of test well, which is bad beacuse it leads to jobs
Stop reading my mind it makes me unconfortable... but I'm ok with that
I officially confirm that you have come to the correct place. :)
as an Intp I'm obsessed with knowledge, spirituality, music,art and money/financial freedom
Worth a four-day trip. You would enjoy going to the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, and Creation Falls in Kentucky. Truth matters and God's glory doesn't deny that, it supports it better than anything the world has without him. This is a place where truth and spirituality meet in a peaceful and clear way. I do not live in the area, but our science minded family found value with the trips.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice[b] goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,[c]
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules[d] of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

This video makes me feel like I'm autistic.
From what I understand, that's an unfortunately common diagnosis for normal people of this rarer personality type. Expecting an INTP to act like an SJ or SP (where most of humanity finds itself) is like judging a fish because it can't fly with the other birds. Their strengths lie elsewhere.
@@cynthiapayne9906 I know we're also sometimes misdiagnosed as ADHDs, too.
I am and I am, not sure which came first,autism I guess
I was diagnosed with Autism.
There is an overrepresentation of intps and istjs on autistic spectrum.
I'm trying to write an original story, I'm creating my characters now, and this serie helps me a lot! Thank you so much!
You just made my day. Really. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a note, and good luck with your story!!!
I was sceptical at the first glance seeing random movie cuts... but it was absolutely accurate,I'm impressed.
Thank you! :)
One of my particularly self endulgant traits is always wanting to learn more about myself, which I think also can seem very self centered but is a trait I think everyone has at least to an extent so when I was wat hing this video I really liked what it taught me about both myself and any future chara ters I write.
Awesome, and yes--that is a trait we all share :) Thanks for watching!
I cannot tell if it is a compliment or an insult to be compared to the synthetic life from from the movie Alien. I do know that Neo from the Matrix is a compliment even if he was considered to be an anomaly. These characters, quite honestly are very tragic and it gives me pause. Am I perceived by the human race as tragic outsider but yet I am forced to participate? I remember a patient (I work in Neurology, imagine that) of mine asked me what I wanted be when I grew up when I was her age and I replied, "An Astronaut, I wanted to get to Pluto." The astute young lady replied softly, "That's as far away as you can get and still be home, I guess." This is starting to get a little depressing. Maybe tonight I'll watch 2001 A Space Odyssey, the scene where Bowman goes through the Stargate on loop. ((I began to edit my post but then gave up because few would care))
What's wrong with Hiccup???? Everyone loves Hiccup. Also, remember the context of these videos: writing fictional characters for a fictional story. A character is boring unless they contribute to the conflict of the story. People who have their shit together and avoid drama may make fantastic neighbors, but terrible characters. No one wants to read about a Mary Sue. Flaws, struggles, and even dysfunction, so long as it is consistent and internally logical, is what connects us and endears us to fictional characters. This series is all about exploiting every potential for drama so as to create a more engaging story. Alien was a 1979 film that is still regularly referenced and is considered a standard of the genre--do you think that would have happened if the primary antagonist was less than engaging? Love Ash or hate Ash--you certainly won't forget him.
@@cynthiapayne9906 Just trying to play up the whole INTP thing. It is interesting to see how far we take stereotypes. I don't remember Hiccup and what happened to him other the Daddy issues (which I had). Still Yoda failed to see the Dark Side of the Force and went into self exile and two characters aren't really human. Was that the 30 yr old virgin character? Didn't see that movie. You are correct that good stories need build and resolve friction, suffering, etc. My son just finished a report on T. Roosevelt that he concluded with the quote...
“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”
You are a true fellow INTP
This is incredibly well-made and researched
Thank you :)
I'm here to Procrastinate...
So I stop studying for a few hours...actually I didn't open our school LMS this day because the school system s*cks, and I hate how it works that I loss motivation going to school
It's now midnight and I know I'm wasting time but I'm afraid to open my text books because failing to understand the subject scares me.
My hubby is a public high school teacher doing virtual right now. It sucks. It sucks for everyone. Hold in there
Omg, this is word for word what i'm at right now in this very moment :((
How can i overcome that fear please? My finals are 5 weeks away, and my material scares me kinda, it scares me not for its difficulty but for it's boring extensive and useless content. But my exam is crucial, and even if I know that, I'm still wasting time over here.
@@leejaerim8972 I hope you'll get through this.
I suggest motivating yourself by giving yourself a reward every time you complete a task or have a progress. Hope this works.
Me ATM 🤧
Literally me
As an INTP, I can appreciate the irony of being studied as bug in a petri dish.
I feel like the whole "conflicting inner confidence and anxiety" thing was very well worded. I saw a lot of myself in what you described, so I think your guide was quite accurate!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
"I told you so" is literally my catchphrase. I have these friends who come to me thinking I'm their therapist and I always listen to them and give advice. But they go ahead with whatever they wanted to do. Later, they comeback to me and tell how they f*cked up. And I always tell them "I told you so"... LOL
Your friends are ahead of the game. At some level they know "AutumnRainWish will give it to me straight, even if I don't like it"--and they still come to you. The average person wouldn't.
10:44 This is so true for me.
I often throw out solutions for my loved ones when they are having issues, but I realized they actually need someone to listen to them (and hugs too) which works best.
I tend to suck at comforting others, so one day when my sister was crying, I poured her a glass of chocolate milk and said, "Here, it tastes like chocolate ice cream."
😂 Oh! Cuteness overload
@@cynthiapayne9906 Actually I found myself a fellow INTP as best friend. We clumsily comfort each other and always know exactly how it's meant and we really value the fact that we don't have to feel bad about it or have to try to explain it... 😅
Also I am an INTP with an INFJ wife.
We're writing a story and I regularly have trouble describing things some characters will experience in easy ways for her to digest since we literally process information differently.
She looks at the whole almost exclusively while I dissect everything. Besides the trouble communicating some ideas we both keep each other on track very well. She keeps me on point and I help her see all the steps along the way.
I feel so seen, it's amazing how I was so skeptical about this test at first, but the amount I relate to this results is uncanny lol. Tho I know it only scratches the surface of a human being's personality, still, is good to be understood by someone somewhere, even if in a shallow way (ok maybe I'm on the villainous state already lol)
I'm so glad it resonated with you
It is much deeper and helpful and even fun to learn about the 8cohnitive functions and their positions in the 8 stacks rather than focusing on the 8 letters
You’ll have fun diving deep!
I think the way you presented INTPs are a bit the unhealthy version, those with still a very underdeveloped Fe
Would love a video about INTPs maturing and developing their Fe much more
Mature INTPs are the bomb. Unfortunately, mature individuals in general are boring to write for as they lack the drama and conflict that makes a good story :D I will direct you to CS. Joseph's channel (link in description). This series is based off his work in Jungian psychology and he has a whole library on INTPs, including INTP personal growth and maturity. Thanks for watching!
Ikr !
@@cynthiapayne9906 mature individuals have an interesting backstory.
@@cynthiapayne9906 you can write character regressions for mature characters, i think that's interesting
I am deeply INTP. Overall the descriptions are pretty good. One thing that felt incorrect to me is the reason given for why we spend so much time alone-as a defense mechanism against guilt from our trying to help backfiring; I didn't relate to that section of the video at all. The reason I prefer to be alone is because people and their small talk and extraversion are beyond exhausting, and I have better things to do with my time.
Also, the delayed response and mental lag time frustrates the heck out of us, too. It would be awesome if the great responses we come up with an hour later had shown up when they would have actually been useful.
The part about nostalgia did not ring true for me either. I value Information and experiences from the past not for sentimental reasons, but to make wiser decisions in the present and not repeat past mistakes. To say we are nostalgic contradicts the perception that we are all robots without emotions.
The rest of your descriptions felt pretty spot on. Thanks for a fun look into my insides :)
I’m understanding why the intp is the Entj’s perfect match.
Honestly mind blowing .
One of the most comprehensive and accurate views of my personality I have ever seen.
My inner demon has scared me in the past, also.
My motto has often been: " That's what you get for making me defend the truth, F' me? No F' you. And...I guarantee you will never do it again" Luckly, I rarely carry out my evil plan. Sanity returns in the nick of time.
I'm so glad you liked it :) If you would like more of the same, then you should know that this series is based on the 4-sides MBTI system currently led by CS. Joseph (link in description). He has a huge library on INTP dynamics. Thanks for watching!
"I told you so" is my catchphrase without ever using it. My friend's know just by the look I give them when not following my advice has blown up in their face that that's what I'm in thinking. 😂
One of the better depictions I've encountered. You've captured much of the nuance in my own clockwork.
Love the tone of your voice
Made me understand how I am.
I just discovered this personality test and I am a pure INTP. With pride 😌
This was spot on. It was also good to see other characters in action.

I have a coffe and nothing to do with my life , so i will wach this for ego boost.
I AM practical. It’s just that once I’ve found the most practical solution in my mind, I can’t be bothered to actually carry it out. What’s the point, the problem has already been solved. There are so many other interesting problems to mentally solve.
I just came across this video and your channel after very recently realizing i'm an INTP-A... and man... It's like you read and exposed my life to everyone lol. So accurate
I'm so glad you liked it! If you'd like more of the same, my videos are based on CS. Joseph's 4-sides system (link in description). He has a huge library on INTP things. Thanks for watching!
@@cynthiapayne9906 will check it out
I'm an INTP and have no filter. I have no qualms about talking about things that other people would find improper to talk about in most situations.
Sounds like you may be heavily unconscious focused.
@@cynthiapayne9906 what does that mean?
Seriously am I the only INTP who gets all motivated to do or learn stuff when it's like 2am
No
I liked this video (I've learned at my age to start with positive statement). However, as an INTP, I am in inexorably compelled to level a bit of linguistic criticism. "Exceptionately," if I heard it correctly, is not a word.
Ya'll yanks jus' canno appreciate the intricacies and nuance of language dialects from yonder ya'lls backyards. Bless ya'lls hearts
@@cynthiapayne9906 Haha. I'm a Floridian with family in Kentucky and Tennessee so I get the struggle. Though, in Florida, anything south of Ocala is actually more northern. Even the St John's river, similar to the Nile, runs that way. My being from Orlando means I'm southern once removed.
@@chazstone6744 🤣 I do love how quickly you came to defend your geographical status. Southern Pride seems to be universal no matter what personality type you are :) Thanks for watching!
Cynthia Payne As an INTP yank with family in the south, I can appreciate the nuance of the phrase “bless your heart”. It reminds me of the scene in The Matrix when the Merovingian likens cursing in French to using silk toilet paper. I love it!
@@G_Demolished 😂 I once had a colleague from up north who kept using the phrase incorrectly. As in, intending the literal translation. She thought it was a nice thing to say and she was a legit lovely woman. I'll never forget the look on her face when I finally took her aside and told her it didn't mean what she thought it meant...
Ooof The part where you mention failure to launch because of an over analysis of others failures in their endeavors hits hard. That's the story of my life.
I did not expect to be called out by an entire video. I also feel like I'm stuck in the rut you talk about right now so I just keep looking up intp stuff to inspire or motivate me I guess. But I know I'm just procrastinating
I'm glad I got it right enough to strike a nerve, lol! My hubby's an INTP and when he's stuck, it takes someone else calling him out (me, his doctor, one of his guy friends, etc) and specifically calling him out on how he is failing to meet his responsibilities to get him un-stuck. Ya'll are so easy to guilt into action it's ridiculous, but it has to be framed in a way so that it's not about benefiting you or about what you want, and is instead about your relationship and responsibilities in regards to other people. So, I have to say "You need to start eating better because it is your responsibility to model heathy behavior for the kids, and they look to you for guidance on how a responsible adult takes care of themselves" because if I say "You need to start eating better so that your health will improve and that will make your quality of life better," then nothing is going to change. So, if you don't have anyone who will call you out and you are looking to motivate yourself, perhaps look at your relationships and see how you could better fulfil your responsibilities to those relationships in a way that also benefits you. Failing that, find a way to help someone and increase your responsibilities, even if only temporarily (volunteer work is great for this). And thank you so much for watching! I do love all of you wonderful INTPs out there
@@cynthiapayne9906 it's weirdly true that I don't prioritize goals for myself or for my own benefit first. Such as eating healthy. Whereas if I know someone close to me is trying to keep healthy habits I immediately try and think of things that benef them but also fit them and their personality and start trying to help implement them right away. At the moment I think this has been more difficult due to the current state of the world but also most people around me are also stagnent in their own lives too even though we keep eachother supported. I honestly think it's part psychological and that me and others won't feel the 'push' for change until the new year starts even if the situation stays pretty much the same, because the idea of a fresh start is what will push many of us towards change
@@lovel2940 I don't think I've ever met an INTP who wasn't willing to help others--even eager to help. You guys are fantastic at it and it makes you so happy and it seems to be your main avenue for growth, but I feel like one of INTPs biggest stumbling blocks is when they go for a time without anyone to help or they end up not helping, but enabling a less healthy individual, and then they get stuck. And because they are stuck and not advancing, but everyone around them is advancing, they are now no longer in a position of being able to help those around them--they don't have the greater skills or the life experience or the new connections anymore--so they get into this toxic circle of stuck-in-a-ruttness. I've seen INTPs near and dear to me spend a decade not pursuing a career they wanted to pursue or a goal they wanted to achieve and instead remain in a position of complete stagnation. The layers of excuses and rationalizations they would come up with were mind-boggling. It was very frustrating for me because I cared for these people and didn't know how to help them do what they wanted to do. I am so grateful to this MBTI system for teaching me that it's my responsibility as someone who loves an INTP to call them out when they get stuck like this. It would totally backfire on most other types, but it's exactly what INTPs will respond to. Knowing what motivates us gives us the tools to work "with" ourselves rather than against ourselves. So, if I as a random internet chick who happens to love INTPs may be so bold, let me say this: Don't wait around for a year or ten years for someone else to give you permission to do something with your life, or you will find yourself helpless to help those you care most for.
@@cynthiapayne9906 that is both simple, rational and honest advice thank you. I'm saving this video and comment thread for life 😝

Love your Character development videos, really well researched and put together. I'm an INTP way to far gone down the black hole of isolation and comfort zone, this video really hit home.
I would love a INFP character development video, my girlfriend is an INFP and she's my whole world, literally and figuratively so I want to understand more even if it is in the context of literature character development.
Thank you again for the videos!
I'm so glad you are enjoying them, and I have added your vote to the tally :) In the mean time, I should let you know that the psychological approach to my videos is not my own and I use CS. Joseph's 4-sides theorem. The link to his channel is in the description and he's got a huge library of both INTP and INFP videos in more of a lecture format rather than something applicable to literature. Thanks again!
:,/ I AM LIKING AN INFP FOR A WHILE NOW, yea i'm an intp... BUT I THINK THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME BECAUSE WE'RE BOTH TRYING TO WORK OUT ON SOMETHING IMPORTANT... HOWEVER, MY FEELINGS FOR HER WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE UNLESS SHE LIKES SOMEONE ELSE. I CAN WAIT UNTIL EVERYTHING FEELS RIGHT TO ME TO DO SOMETHING. I'M STILL FIGURING THINGS OUT, BOTH MY LIFE AND MY EMOTIONS. BUT, IF I JUS CAN SIMPLY TELL HER SHE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON I KNOW, SHE LIGHTS UP MY WORLD, I WANNA BE WITH HER, AND I'LL PROTECT HER MORE THAN MYSELF, THAT WOULD BE NICE.
That was just... so great. So accurate. Thank you
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it :)
Amazing work. The accuracy, depth, and production value are all extremely well done!
Thank you! I can take full credit for production, but as for accuracy and depth I will have to direct you to C.S. Joseph's channel (link in description). His videos are in lecture format, but if you like this sort of approach to the types, then you may enjoy his system :) Thanks for watching!
i've always had the confusion if im an infp or an intp because i honestly relate to both and my tests always come out 50/50 thinking and feeling. yesterday my sister (an isfj) was talking to me about her relationship with her boyfriend, she started to blurt out shit that annoyed her of him and stuff, and instead of giving her emotional support (i tried to but i didn't know how) i tried to fix her problem by offering technical solutions and answers to why they don't work together.
we fought.
thats when i knew i was an intp.
for the record, this video was incredibly insightful and everything pretty much checks out
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) This series is based on the 4-sides MBTI system headed by CS. Joseph (link in description). He has his own MBTI test on his website that you might want to check out. You have to give your email, but it's free and the test lets you jump around and only answer the questions you are certain of, then adapts to your answers. It may help you verify. Thanks for watching!
As I've ogtten older, I refuse to rub it in people's faces when I my information is correct. The goal is make sure everyone involved has accurate information. There shouldn't be any concern around who holds a higher status.
As a convert to devout Catholic Christianity, am obligated more now to reach out to others to uplift their spirits, and lend a hand before they ask ...which is really exhausting, although does give peace of mind.
Am a deeply emotional person, however since I never forget that ALL emotions are in reaction to ideas, I seek the source of the ideas ...then decide if am on target with what is true, beautiful and Eternal. If not, I veto & correct my emotional error.
Yes
..organization is essential - even though it may not appear as organized to someone else: am always aware of various layers of data that need to be coordinated & addressed.
Do not like being around others very often - even if I really like them & we have much in common. It's draining.
I think of others often & pray for them always...but frequent physical presence is just too much!!!
Thank you for your video 🌹
"How's it going?"
"Well, im not on fire"
Searching an INTP who shares the same worldview as me. So if you are an INTP, can we be friends online? your social media pls?
I am tired of this life.... I desperately need to talk to someone who thinks like me.
Idk if youre intp yourself but man being this right about a personality type who's entire purpose is the live inside their own head and picking it appart is quite impressive
you guys ever walk among people and predict their speed in the halls and shit
Lmao yes omg
Stereotypes doesn't match me. This description is accurate.
i think us intps are so prone to procrastination is because for 1, we love thinking, to kee analyzing things in our head and to keep thinking of possibilities and solutions (Ti-Ne) we procrastination are often is also because of our ideas coming from our constant thinking. we are abstract theorists, our thoughts and ideas tend to be so big and logically consistent, it does not mean it’s practical in the real world. most likely the intp won’t put it into action because they are probably too lazy and just want to think more or they KNOW that the framework/process they have made is too abstract and not applicable to the real world. instead they would want others to do it for them, but not many will understand the our intp minds. another factor that can affect that discordance is our inferior Fe, when we want to share our ideas and solutions, since we are very logical, detached, and objectively want to be right. our words can come across as condescending or mean, just not taking into account the one who is receiving our informations feelings. understanding people’s perception of us can make us very critical of ourselves and don’t know whether our confidence should be raised or lowered to the ground.
not really sure why i said all that, just needed to put my info out because i know other intps will understand
One of the best descriptions of an INTP. Loved it
The INTP: will appear like the coldest character, but is the type who will secretly feed animals in the neighborhood, and would surprise people by sacrificing their life for a dog.
People mistake INTPs for change characters, which may be an err, dynamic characters work. Do it.
Fell in love with my INTP hubby when he stopped the car one day to shoo a lizard off the windshield. They're so damn cuddly. Thanks for watching!
I feed the crows on the weekend. Love doing that since they recognize me but they are skeptical of humans so I have to kind of throw the food their direction and pretend like I don’t know what’s going on for them to take it. The cool thing is the close flybys where their wing touches my shoulder and they follow me back to my van in the tree tops.
In my case, I don't really care much about animals but I don't harm them either. They have better survival skills than most humans.
Saying INTP love order and organisation is just UNTRUE. INTJ does. We prefer structured chaos!
Oh, ya'll INTPs most definitely love order and organization and keeping everything straight. I just have to ask you to do it for someone other than yourselves ;) Then you guys are freakin' amazing at it, lol!
I'm an INTP and love order and organisation... in theory. I love to create plans, but end up breaking them :) Also order is very vague concept. My idea of order is unreachable, so i quit on trying.
@@ksanag3426 same
I Plan everything through because I like planning but I dont like living with them
@@leni6896 It's like a structured plan after analyzing the fors(?) and cons but only in my mind cause I don't wanna write it down, so very flexible as I tend to forget some parts or just everything.
But chaos is the ultimate form of order?
that line about being motivated by guilt hit way too close
I literally sat there dumbfounded at the realization that every "sorry" I've said and mistake I've tried to fix was completely selfishly motivated by my own guilt.
...how is that selfish? Of course making others feel bad makes you feel bad--that's called being a healthy human being. You INTPs are just more sensitive and insecure about it than other types and can be more easily manipulated by it. Just look at how far in your head you are about trying to make yourself feel better when you make someone else feel bad. Wanting to feel good by helping others feel better isn't a bad thing. It's a healthy human thing. People volunteer and donate to charity because it gives them a boost, not because they are selfless. The end result is the same--everyone benefits, so how is the base motivation a bad thing when the result is a good thing?
Intp problem = suppress feelings that are inconvenient or in the way of me finding a solution.
A therapist would never understand 😅
Good patterns identification = Good prediction ,add subtle info (Intuition ). You become Impossible.
Please value subtle cue .
this is some accurate shit. like more accurate than other INTP descriptions...
I do love satire and irony. I didn’t know that was part of my personality type. I thought it was just a personal preference.
INTP here, I’d like to see a INTJ video like this, this video was very informative and seemed accurate.
Your vote has been added to the tally! Thank you
Curious as to why you want to see intj breakdown.... Subito
As an entp I'm fascinated by intps they overflow with ideas and If you can open them you can have a conversation storm with no rules no moral nothing that can stop us from not saying something its literally my dream but first I need to open them wish me luck...I guess...
Lacking goals lacking deep emotional connection, lacking in exuberance for life , sexual connection. That is my INTP for an INTJ who spent decades with another INTJ the lack of connection looms pretty large .
Still can’t decide if I’m an infj or intp! So frustrating!
What type of conversation with a loved one would you most enjoy: one where you are learning about and explaining a system, strategy, or historical coming about of something, or talking about some goals you want to achieve in the future while vocally daydreaming about the "what if" possibilities of those goals? If the first, you are probably more in the ballpark of INTP, the second would be the ballpark of INFJ. Also: when you meet someone and they are super friendly, is your first instinct to be on guard because you think they are trying to play you, or is your first thought to make sure you give a good impression so that your reputation and public persona stays intact? For the first, lean more towards INFJ in your research. If the second, take a good look at INFP. Just a random person's two cents, lol! Thanks for watching :)
one great intp villan is professor poopypants for DreamWorks animated film captain underpants
Wow... one of the most insightful and succinct overview of the INTP I've seen. Required watching for all who (for whatever reason) have to be hip on this type. 6/7 Kumquats
I actually just had my very first kumquat a few weeks ago, courtesy of a friend with a tree. They are delicious and thank you so much, lol!
If you like this approach, you should know that the actual psychological info is not my own and I will direct you to CS. Joseph's channel (link in description) for his rather large library on INTPs. I just made it pretty and applicable to a favorite hobby of mine :) Thanks again!
Tell the truth or go home. Most cannot handle my direct style of communication, yet I just carry on with it, unapologetically.
I absolutely adore this. "-- what level of ass ache they're willing to put up with..."
I try to explain to people in my life ALL THE TIME why I won't take for instance a crappy promotion for a tiny raise in pay.
I refuse to have 1000% more responsibility for 0.01% increase in pay.
Ass ache = legitimate decision-making device.
i think us INTP has the best natural knowledge in skills our potential is so unmatchable to the point that it's a burden at the same time. Having the gift of natural knowledge more than others is both a gift and a curse. that's why i suggest as INTP know yourselves and try to balance and use the curse so it can be turn as a gift. yes i say this for me not even INTJ can match up with the potential of a INTP but that curse that we have just hold us back to the point that intj can manipulate more even tho INTP can understand more. So when we leafn how to control that P in the InTP I feel like we're the better ones 3:12
I felt personally attacked during most of this and that only means that I must be this personality type 😅 probably the most INTP response. YOU CANT BOX A COMPLEX HUMAN INTO YOUR SIMPLE LITTLE THOUGHT BOXES!
while i can related with pretty much everything, i don't really agree about the "rewatching things" part. while it's definitely enjoyable, i think seeking new experiences is more rationally sound choice, considering that our time on earth is relatively very limited. this should also be supported buy the fact that Ne > Si, though i might be wrong.
Hmmmm. Interesting. The bit about INTPs being prone to nostalgia and rewatching the same things is more tied to child Si. the Child function (3rd slot) is where a person's innocence is and for INTPs this translates into a "comfy zone." It can manifest in different ways and not necessarily in rewatching things, although that is very common. Wanting to seek new experiences is generally a Se thing, while Si is always seeking to be comfortable. Anyway, thanks for watching!
Im sure im an intj though this video has shifted half my certainty. To be fair i have alot of mental turmoil from childhood abuse. I personally will rewatch something if its an educational video and i feel i need to remember something or incase i "missed" anything. With shows i dont tend to rewatch as im busy learning more about how to execute my goal. I tend to not engage in watching shows or movies, even new or old. When i do i feel i could be more productive and be engaging in my one interest. Though im struggling to see if im a "broken, lazy and unconventional" depressed intj or an intp who is also broken and not stereotypical half the time. I only really got into typing as a way to better write my characters as i dont want them to be just stereotypes of the jock ot nerd or whatever. Want depth and such. I have an entp mother and she helped me as a kid so im also debating if i just have influence as the idea of nature vs nurture could and most definitely come into play. I know they functions are different however i feel completely inline with all. There id a time to use all of them. If i had to have my two weakest it would be fe or se. Which is probably why i cant tell if im intp or intj.
Holy crap. I always thought I was an ISTJ because all the tests I've taken said I am, but today for the first time I got INTP on the Sakirnova test with a low ISTJ score, so I decided to look into INTP.
So far from the videos I watched I relate more to ISTJ descriptions, but for the first time, this video makes me think that I might actually be an INTP. I never related to the description of ISTJ being outwardly emotionless and following the rules to a T, and also being tidy (though the strange thing is that I am VERY tidy at work, but VERY messy at home, and on top of that I am strict about other people's tidiness - hooray double-standards...(slow clapping))
But the weird thing is that though I mostly agree with what you are saying, I hardly relate to the characters being shown. XD (or maybe I just need to evaluate where they're coming from rather than how much I like or agree with them) I related so much more to the characters in the ISTJ video, except for the fact that said characters are way too rigid and emotionless for me. In this video, I related the most to Ash from Aliens, though he too is way too rigid and emotionless for me.
The part that I most related to in this video is the severe isolation bit. Even the reason is spot-on, and I endulge in watching CZcams videos and playing video games all day (which is exactly my current situation, because all my hard work and preparations for the future got obliterated by the pandemic).
I shall continue my journey of ISTJ vs INTP.
I really really relate to both.
May I recommend a different test? This series of videos is based on CS. Joseph's work in Jungian psychology and his is the system I subscribe to in general (link in description). He has his own test on csjoseph.life which is adaptive, so you can jump around and only answer the questions you are sure about and the test will eliminate questions as you go based on how you've answered. It's also recommended that you take the test with someone who knows you well to help you answer the questions.
Two big differences between ISTJs and INTPs are that ISTJs are Affiliative and Concrete, while INTPs are Pragmatic and Abstract. As a general idea, if you're already thinking I'm talking hookey and are not trusting a word I'm typing here, lean towards INTP. If you think the idea of taking the test with a friend could be cool, lean towards ISTJ, lol! ISTJs will gravitate towards teamwork and how we can all work together and will start with what is known, then decide how it can be fixed/improved. INTPs will start with the "what if?" and then work to figure out the best way of making it happen, and will prefer to work alone unless there is a need or benefit to bringing in others. Best of luck to you on figuring it out!
I strongly disagree about what was said about us regarding Emotions 🤮. Atleast I do understand why people show emotions the way they do and why they are stupid things to value. Any person who has dealt with people who value emotions knows they really dont value their own emotions. Their emotions give them the confidence to lie to themselves into doing something good or positive. They cant ever face The Truth authentically. These Feelers can take you on a emotional ride only for them to arrive at a point thag is so miniscule it wasnt worth entertaining them. They can take you for an emotional ride, sometimes for years only for them to abandon everything they ever said or did because of those emotions and blame you for letting them waste time when you knew The Truth all along. The best thing is for you to be authentic as an INTP and let them be authentic as a feeler. Protect yourself at all times because feelers dont know what their words and actions actually mean. Like babies, that they are.. they wont like reading this but when you treat them like intellectual babies, they will love you and you wont be drained.
Or another favorite phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
Oh yeah. ;)
Does anybody think the character bojack horseman is an intp as well?
As an INTP my favorite quote is "prior proper planning, patience, and perseverance prevents piss poor performances."
Is it really though?
I have encountered the exact same line situation.
Only for me, the guys just went ohh~ and 'can't you let this go just this once'? And I answered 'The line must be upheld' after thinking about it. In which everyone just stared at me weirdly. And they left the line.
And this is so me. How is this so me. I know this is illogical, but I am getting a strange feeling that you might be stalking me.
No--I'm just married to one of you, lol! Thanks for watching
Read me like a book
INTP I am: we are God's prophets, we value truth over all. People who value emotions over truth, should never shape us. We must learn patience, place boundaries and be willing to cut people off. Where they emote, we must remain stoic and pick up where we left off. Self reliance is key to avoiding Feelers leaching on us. Never debate on what you have thoroughly concluded to be true. Let the Feelers drag themselves to truth, otherwise you'll waste years abandoning your own vision for life, only for the same people to stab you in the back. I lived 20yrs of this experiment as I tried to understand why people do what they do. Feelers are intellectual babies.. babies dont inform the adults..
Thanks for this summary of cs Joseph's videos on INTPs
You are very welcome :) Thanks for watching!
I have to say, there is no desire for the "I told you so" when you know that wont change future behavior of who listens to that. Then that person behavior over a similar situation becomes just input on how to change your future actions in order to achive the goal of the situation despite them not acting in the way that an ideally effective "i told you so" would.
But how long did it take to learn that the "I told you so" wasn't effective? ;) Thanks for watching
@@cynthiapayne9906 it’s so weird reading a comment posted over a year ago that I would definitely write myself word for word, then to see your response which definitely pegs my growth process. Thanks for teaching me about myself.
This was fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
The intp humor really shocked me because it's so true lol
Wow, How did you learn this. I feel completely deconstructed. Well done.
Searching an INTP who shares the same worldview as me. So if you are an INTP, can we be friends online? your social media pls?
I am tired of this life. I desperately need to talk to someone who thinks like me.....,
As an INTP, I can actualy act like other personality types, sometimes without me noticing it, and sometimes for a purpose...
As an intp, im not outwardly calm or like cynical, but i am cynical deep down i guess, i have like intp moments, infp moments, entp moments, and intp moments, and im very impulsive
so when is patrick gonna get any character development??
18:36 Not just smarter, but better in every conceivable way. :)
Definitely want to see the ENTP. Great video!
That one is next ;) Thank you and thanks for watching!
@@cynthiapayne9906 No, thank you for making quality content that is worth watching. ❤️
Oh, the joy of being INTP... /S
I am the queen of "I told you so" land. And it made me prefer to stay away from friendships because it SUCKS when no one ever believes you when you're trying to f*cking help them and instead think you're either a total weirdo, a total asshole or that you possess supernatural abilities. (Not sure which one is worse. You don't want to know how often I've had to tell people "Uh ... Nah, I can't see the future. I'm just good at pattern recognition")
And the alternative of just keeping my f*cking mouth shut and pretending not to know what I know is... emotional self flagellation. So yeah, I rather avoid friendships...
And why on earth does EVERYONE I end up talking to for more than an hour when playing MMOs end up telling me about their problems? And why do I always switch into therapy mode? And why do random strangers on the internet listen to my advice and tell me "wow, that was the best therapy session I've ever had and I didn't even have to pay for it!" while friends don't and instead ghost me?
And why is everyone I actually do explain the reason for my "clairvoyance" to always saying "oh wow! I wish I had that gift!"
Nah, you don't. It's not a gift, it's a curse. And the older you get, the worse it becomes because the more you know and have experienced, the better you get and the more BORING life gets. Everything just keeps getting more and more predictable.
*sigh*
Sorry. Little overload rant...
The only thing I'm always wondering about is where the other INTP's are, as they should be able to understand that.
Im the type of INTP, who simply shuts up and stops talking to these "friends", because if they dont understand that, there's simply no reason to stay connected to them.
Maybe thats the reason they say im not talkative.
Well, someday a person will appear being INTP or because of another weird circumstance able to follow my thougts. Maybe then I'll be able to enjoy a conversation.
The best to you, see ya.

Awesome video otherwise though. Probably the best video on INTPs I've seen
