Awww that is actually so good to hear!! I always feel like it’s maybe a little unrequited on my part 😆 INTP’s are some of the most tolerant and coolest people I know - I think we’re both typically intelligent too - just in different ways!
I totally agree with you. I'm very much an INTP myself....and the personality type I like the most in other people, is hands down INFPs. Basically, they're the same as me....but....they're more connected to the emotional aspects of reality. I live in my head, my intellect, all day, and it's exhausting tbh. I often get home after a long stressful day....and literally watch interviews with the musician Aurora. She's a hardcore INFP....and something about her entire vibe is incredibly comforting and inspiring. It's total ASMR to my personality type. Sometimes I think....if I could remake my MBPT into anything I wanted....I'd choose INFP. I absolutely love being an introvert....and a big picture thinker....and a perceiver. But....living inside my intellect can be so tiring, and often makes other people....not like you. They assume you're aloof(when you're actually hyper aware) or assume you think you're better than them. Sometimes I think it would be nice to FEEL something....deeply....and exist inside that feeling and live there. I have this odd theory that if I could improve my life...and my overall mental health on all levels....I would be more of an INFP. Maybe. Idk.... :/
As an INTP - I really enjoy both INF and even ISF types…with the INF’s being easier to relate to…but the ISF’s being about the sweetest people ever, to the point I find them fascinating
I am an INTP female and really nice to hear an actual appreciation for us. Usually people assume we are emotionally cold. I am an older INTP and feel much more comfortable with emotions than I used to but I still feel that fight.
Why I love INFPs as an INTP: I used to live life without much going on. I was just a peaceful and lazy INTP who didn't care or even was aware of what was happening out in the real world. Then I met an INFP and we started connecting mentally. We didn't meet much, we just went with the flow and the time flew so fast. 1. I lack Fi. Therefore even though I had an identity function Ti as my strongest, I felt a part of my indentity at its weakest. One part of me had a strong but flexible identity which people liked about me, and the other was simply just empty. My INFP friend with strong Fi came to me as my other half and I don't think I even deserved that. Everybody only saw that Ti identity in me while INFPs saw both my Ti identity (probably since they lacked it) and the missing Fi identity. 2. Us and INFPs have similar standards. Loyalty coming from our Si child, honesty and authenticity, someone who I can learn from (I have so much I learned from my INFP friend such as just being there and feeling), and non-judgmental/openmindedness. She helped me mature, I helped her mature. We both helped each other suppress our stubbornness and open our eyes to a brand new world in the healthiest way anyone could ever done. I can go on with the list but I will end it here for now.
I'm an INTP female and my best friend is a male INFP. I've never met anybody else who has such a profound love and respect for humanity, with all its joys and miseries. In his case it takes a very philosophical bend (you guys are waaaaaay smarter than the stereotypes give you credit for) and together we can discuss philosophy, psychology and literature for hours. He's the only one I have never managed to tire out. Our only point of friction is this: the two of us haven't had it easy, but objectively he's had it way worse than me. Yet, he's managed to secure for himself a much more stable future than what I have. However, somehow it's like he can't see that, neither can he fully realise how far he's come. It's very difficult for me to describe, but it literally looks like existential sadness has a grip on him, and he can't free himself from it. It's not whiny or "Sad girl" or performative, it's genuine melancholy and pessimism, and there's no way to reason with that.
as a intp i have very serious problems wich is im always lazy always tierd ... thinking in too much things insted off focus on one goal and complete one the right way . i like your way of speaking keep going.
I am an INFJ 4w5, and I have found a deep appreciation for INTPs since meeting one and starting to learn more about them! They're fascinating, and my INTP friend is one of the most intriguing people I have ever met (partly because I'd never met anyone quite like him before).
OMG, you wrote fasinating, and I was going to include that in my reply. I wonder what percentage ofr us have healthy self esteem . . . ??? I did not for a long time.
(sorry for any mistake English's not my first language) As an INTP I tend to always catch feelings for INFPs, they're actually able to make me feel understood and I can create a deeper connection, they tend to be fascinated by the way I think and all the schemes trough wich I see life; also they get my sense of humour, wich is very rare. Sadly, it's very difficult for me to have solid relationships with them and in the end I always get my heart broken 💔. I am now recovering from the rejection of an INFP that as I see it now may be the only person I ever actually loved... As an INTP I tend not te be in touch with my emotions but INFPs can help me bring awareness to that trough the deep intellectual and emotional connection that we share. Only having a single deep conversation with an INFP changed the way I saw the world around me and I think that is one of the rarest things one can experience in life, sometimes talking to them felt like living in a completely different world, in which there was space for beauty and art, and it felt like distancing from all the things in the real world that I find ugly, stressful or otherwise accepting all these things and seeing them in a different light. I think the connection that INFPs and us INTPs may share is on the rarest and most precious things we can experience.
First of all Thank You for the well thought out and delivered message on intps. Second i believe infps are very special and society needs to take care of them and with them. asking them to be anything else then what they are shuts them down then we are a world with out art, creative expression and the wonder of love. The world needs infps and what they bring to the table. Heck with out infps at the table no one else even wants to sit there. It angers me when someone tells anyone they are too emotional. There is a reason for emotion. As an intp i was blessed to have *nfps in my life to help me realize what emotions i even have and how to process them. I am a better person because yall are who you are. I have made it one of my life missions to care for any infp i might come across in life. and no one will make them feel bad about who they are when i am around.
i'm an INTP with an INFP sister, i think of the INFP as someone who would melt my heart by how innocent and kind they can be, but still give me chills when they try to be the SJW or not hear to my points obfuscated by their feelings. I like to encourage my sister to let people be when they are trying to be 'anyone else', i still apreciate the search of authenticity
This is weird to hear being an infp who never cries in front of people. The only person who I allow myself to show my tears to is my mom. That too, extremely seldom. I can only let myself cry when I'm alone lol
@@justacarat2638 if I had the ability to not cry everywhere and over anything I’d probably pick that 😆 it just happens if I’m overwhelmed/upset/angry my voice cracks and I’ll start crying hahaha
From one INTP to another, I think that I mastered how to handle it when they cry by experience: 1. Make slow moves. Don't stare on her eyes/cheeks all the time. 2. Provide food/warm drink/handkerchief/blanket. Whatever is appropriate to the situation. 3. Connect through careful hugs/soft touch. 4. Don't talk at first, listen to them. 5. Don't give them a talk about your solution to the problem or why it might not really be a problem. Instead just try to connect to her vibe and go with her flow. 6. When it stops and she gives you the sign she's stable again, try to offer an activity that she likes and where she is usually in her comfort zone. For example go for a walk in the nearby forest (fresh air helps a lot) or watch one episode of her favourite TV series. 7. While all of this happens don't take in other information. Leave your phone in the pocket at all times. If you look at it, even if she doesn't say anything, she noticed that you got distracted of her situation and you might as well drop a bomb on your relationship. Good luck :)
INTP here. I think INFPs are great, there’s something just so endearing about them. They can show a lot of passion for people and activities, and none of it ever comes off as fake. They’re genuine people who stick to their values and I have a lot of respect for that. Also some of them are my favorite musicians so that definitely helps a lot. Gerard Way, the lead singer of MCR if anybody was wondering.
I'm an INTP with an ISFP gf. When I tell her all the random things I find amusing or throw out alternative lyrics to songs she feels sorry for my "poor mind" because it never turns off. While Ti is the most significant thing to an INTP I find the randomness of Ne as almost a second personality that never allows me to get bored or dogmatic. I think Ne plays a big part in our desire to play devil's advocate over just building a straightforward case. Its why when most types try to build an airtight case for what they think we often devote a lot of time poking holes in our own beliefs, so other's arguments don't surprise us.
Thanks, that's really sweet! I also love INFPs for their mystical and complex moral code, for their interesting thoughts that you can hear only in the case they trust you or like you, or you just asked in the right way. Relationships with INFPs is always a mystery to me, because you guys are so quiet and untalkative, and INTPs really want to know what you think, but using our Fe for asking is exhausting. So I hope that helps with understanding that INTPs do care, they just don't know how to show it
For me, the INFP is the most interesting type and also with whom i identify the most, i mean, i think i get them... but maybe it's only me because i'm also 4w5 and that's kind of unusual for INTPs
You might be 5w4 INTP, as we tend to be incorrectly tested as 4w5. It all depends in how logical and analytical you are. Do you value emotional expression over logic, or the other way around?
One of the things that I think we INTPs like so much about MBTI is it's reflective (expressive?) of the logical conclusion that different personality types serve a purpose and should have a place in the world. Therefore, it would be silly of us to not like INFPs. Your personality type serves a purpose, and it's on us to understand that purpose and appreciate your contribution to the fabric of humanity. Also, y'all tend to be sweet and cute.
This video was sweet. 🥰 I’m and INTP. My mother and sister are both INFPs and other than my INFJ spouse they are the two people who fully understand and accept me. They’re both pretty emotional people and I do my best to help them navigate the world with less pain and they let me know when I’m being a little too robotic and unsympathetic. I think they’re the best type to be around because they seem to fully accept people as they have some kind of innate understanding for the reasoning behind the way people are. They’re often the first to reach out, and that’s great for an INTP because we suck at that. 😂 At least in my experience.
Thank you soo much for such a thoughtful comment. You guys really do help us navigate the world without getting hurt quite as much, and I also really resonate with being able to understand why people are the way they are, hahah. I think both INTP's and INFP's have a lot of tolerance for one another and it just seems to work quite well. Though I can see why INTP x INFJ works well for a marriage :)
Wait.........there are people who LIKE us? What's the catch....? I'm very much an INTP myself....and the personality type I like the most in other people, is hands down INFPs. Basically, they're the same as me....but....they're more connected to the emotional aspects of reality. I live in my head, my intellect, all day, and it's exhausting tbh... That scene in Wolf of Wallstreet where Matthew McConaughey's character is talking about being in your head...and the "acidic sharp mustard" feeling of it all....boy that resonates. I often get home after a long stressful day....and literally watch interviews with the musician Aurora. She's a hardcore INFP....and something about her entire vibe is incredibly comforting and inspiring. It's total ASMR to my personality type. Sometimes I think....if I could remake my MBPT into anything I wanted....I'd choose INFP. I absolutely love being an introvert....and a big picture thinker....and a perceiver.

This was really lovely to watch, you are adorable. It is so nice to see someone like these qualities about us, I more often have people misunderstand my intentions and point out my negative qualities. I know a big part is my own fault because I don’t open up much, but it honestly makes me less inclined to try. The closest I have is an ENFP friend, but her energy can sometimes wear me down. I unfortunately do not have any INFPs in my life, but I really admire your authenticity and your ability to know yourself. Thank you for the video!
I appreciate this video and what you’ve mentioned here, what you’ve said resonates in my case. A few long-term friends of mine are INFPs and I find we build off each other’s humor incredibly well. Our Ne helps with that as you say 😆 Interestingly enough my INFP friends have expressed the same as you, that some part of them appreciates our (INTPs) sometimes brutal honesty. That’s something I’ve found refreshing. I’ve had to learn to word particular things in a less harsh way when I’m around certain people who don’t process things in a similar fashion as me. I still express my thoughts, but not in an entirely “emotionless” or tactless manner. When I was younger I was somewhat outspoken in stating what I found to be true or logical, but my social awareness and what’s generally socially acceptable (Fe in part) kicked into gear later on. Though I still have to make a conscious effort to raise my eyebrows and such in order to remove my RBF… Not that I don’t feel things, my emotions just don’t seem to innately travel to my face even if I’m feeling great. Hence the robot stereotype I suppose 😅 Anyway, I really enjoyed this video and I look forward to watching your future content, whatever you decide to create! Take care and I’m wishing you well.
My friend and colleague is an INFP and when you said about these types vibing I was like yep this is just like our friendship! She once sent me a meme that was like 'you're weird too, i like you' and I was like is this why we are friends? :D
What I as an INTP think about INFPs: As we try to analyze everything with logic.. you are definitely one of the most difficult one to understand what is going on in your head… either I think u are just completely driven by your emotions that can change also pretty damn fast or I think you are very interesting cause I can’t analyze you and want to know how u see the world! I love different perspectives to see the world :) What I like about you is that u seem to be very based on your own. So not just doing things because others think it’s cool and you wanna be liked by others. Another point is you seem to prefer to be alone as well the most time. It just would be lovely if I could have a very good talk to an INFP where the person can tell me what’s going on in their head cause when I ask how they got this or that idea they often struggle to explain their thoughts or why the like what they like in general… (how can u not think about why u like something until u got the answer?? 😂) Hope that helped u :D
As an intp, I appreciate the video. And I truly love infps (currently attracted to 1 now). I do tend to share my most valuable knowledge and thoughts with the people that I care about. These are the people that I get along with often understand me. I assure you it’s dark thoughts inside the minds of an intp. But we aren’t exactly fast thinkers, quite the opposite. It takes us so long to make a decision or form a bias.
I can see actually that it may take you a long time to form decisions, I think in the context of joking about and banter, you guys are extremely witty, generally. Just something I appreciate in the INTP's I have in my life. But for more serious topics I can deffo get that things need to be weighed up and evaluated fully! Thank you very much for watching :)
I live in dorm and i feel like a predator sometimes =) I have 0 friends to talk to (moved to another country and lost those few i had with time) and sometimes as any other introvert i also need to socialize a little. Since the closest person i know and got used to him is my neighbour (kitchen is shared) I sometimes just go and attack him with few hours long deep discussions. Funny thing is that he thinks i am an introvert and like to talk to people a lot while in reality he is the only one i talk to and with other people i am silent all the time. The only bad thing is that he isn't good at most of the topics so generally i spend a lot of time to explain it to him and then discuss.
i'm an intp and honestly I am ok with almost everyone who don't cross the boundaries. i obviously prefer connecting with introverted people since they appreciate your personal space more than extroverts. i don't like small talk. i love being alone with my dog, reading a book while sitting on the floor or reading about some random topics from science, medicine to how to model things in 3ds max :D i think most intps are like that. we just love to to know things about everything
"...in their advice and things that they say to you... sometimes it's a little bit ruthless..." Yes, and that's why my silence is and will always be deliberate, and people, for whatever reason, just cannot see through and understand that. I know VERY WELL that my words can and will hurt IF I want them to hurt, and sometimes even if I don't, that's why I'd much rather not say anything at all because I know that people love to take offense when they feel even the slightest bit of emotional sting, even if it's just a collateral of what they're actually supposed to be paying attention to. Saves me my very limited energy and time.
INTP here reporting on what we would think about INFP people. I think this can be summed up pretty easily. It's a clash of NT vs NF. NT's will get into feelings once the data is settled out, not before. It's frustrating to hear about feelings before the data is in or if a person wants to prioritize feelings over the data after it's come in. If there is a universal way it's through thinking, not feeling. It's difficult to break out of the thinking first model and accept people's feelings as they come. Be patient if you can. This would be where you feel the love is unrequited. We're just frustrated that you put feelings before facts/thinking.
well summarized, that's the only thing that we could not like about INFPs because at least in my experience with them they are very interesting, honest and good people in general.
@@m.dave2141 I like the artistic expression of INFP's. Probably the biggest thing I wish I had. Pure artistic talent. Knowing random facts and how they can be applied to a different random fact through some theoretical unifying principle has little real world yield. If they would just go through a brain function of Instinct>reason>emotion, rather than Instict>emotion>reason.
@@Morgan-Madsen I am INTP and I have an INFP friend, we both make music and what we do is more or less at the same artistic level, I think the difference is in how we process the creation of art and its learning but the results eventually depend mostly on our effort, and very little on our personality, at least in my opinion. i mean i use art as an excuse to improve on my emotional side and/or connect with it, and it helps a lot.
@@theimperfectinfp Hee hee, I'm an INTP and a Cancer . . . you know how we roll. thanks for being smart enough to Love us. I have found that too many people don't really get us. And my whole Life I thought, I was just so simple. But I really think we are!! Even though I KNOW we are NOT!! Much Joy and Happiness to you always. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It feels so nice to be appreciated, even better to be understood!!
No infps are not dumb for the majority in my opinion. I really enjoy their creativity that is some how familiar. Infps that i know have a multitude of talents but never commit to that one thing seems like to me. They have this internal value system that ill never understand. I think they share alot with the intp all in all. Oh and this is a great infp video about and intp by my thinking. You were displaying your emotional side of your attachment with the intp. Its not another video filled with contradicting information. I was able to sit through the whole thing! Thanks great video!
I like that infp's can be very kind and caring, but infp's can be either really easy going where you can talk to them for hours or they can be so low on their ti-function so that they get offended by every why-question an Intp asks. 😂 But generally I like talking to Infp's as an Intp.
You said that if an INTP doesn't like you he won't talk to you, as an INTP myself I feel like people think I hate them because I dont start conversations or I don't talk to them regularly, but it's like I never really dislike anyone, everyone has some kind of quirk that makes them unique and fascinating, but if I don't feel like talking to someone I'm not really gonna do it for the sake of it. The main reason is that I value truth and if I don't wanna talk (most of the time it's not anyone's fault, it's just that for 90% of the time I'm thinking about some weird stuff that nobody else would be interested in), and if I have any reason to believe that the other person wouldn't wanna talk I really don't want to start a conversation because I don't want to force him to lie and continue the conversation if he really doesn't feel like it.
Fun discussion. It's interesting to see things from a certain point of view. Thank you for your honesty, and effort into making this video. You've asked for feedback from an INTP, so I'll endeavor to be honest in return. I'm not wholly interested in someone based on an arbitrary temperament difference. Interest is the governing attraction, and I often find myself at its mercy. However, being disinterested in a person is not equitable to disliking or unloving them. Not in the least! It's more of a...focus really. I certainly do not have the time nor energy to, on a consistent basis, attend to a friend's (or family member's) day-to-day life and wellbeing---as much as I love them. Oh, but how I wish I could! For fear of someone close to me excluding me from their life! Though I cannot blame them for it, they will always remain close to me. I believe this is attributable to your point of loyalty in an INTP, as it seems to me. Well, I am rambling... Again, thank you for posting. Keep up the good work!
I'm an INTP 5w4 and I just found out from your video that Jordan Peterson is an INTP so, that's cool! Also thanks for the video I'm sure you're a phenomenal INFP. My favourite poet is also an INFP!
Thank you for watching!! Apparently Peterson is up for debate, there’s a few people in these comments who suspects otherwise, so I could be wrong! Who is your favourite poet? :)
Someone who goes by the name Priya Dolma Tamang. She has a book released called ' The Ivory Gleam ' if you want to check her out. She had an ig but she usually deactivates it. A great poetess nonetheless.
From one INTP to another, be careful of Jordan Peterson. He couches many problematic, misogynistic, racist, and classist arguments in his literature and lectures. He disguises this regressive thinking behind heavily academic (and therefore legitimate-sounding) language to give himself sort of a false aura of expertise. In reality, he is really nothing but a clinical psychologist who should have stayed a clinical psychologist. Don't be tricked by his pseudointellectualism.
Good video, I think Louis Theroux could be an INTO, but I disagree about Jordan Peterson. I think he’s more likely to be INFJ. As for Stephen King, I’d lean more toward INFP. He seems more in tune with emotions than an INTP is. But I could be wrong.
INTP: - *INFP are pure good or pure evil, no in-between. Worth going to war for / my purest apathy.* - _ISTP are smart enough to keep up AND able to do things well. If only I was less of an hindrance in the physical world!_ - *INTJ are goofy, and by far the most fascinating to speak with. Great sounding boards, great TTRPG players.* - _ENTJ can make our ideas come true. They value us, so I value them._ I don't really care about the other types as a whole, but I will admit I appreciate some specific specimens of ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTP and INFJ.
@@piotrnogas8448 Sure. *It's an F(i) Hero [1st] / S(i) Child [3rd] thing.* F(i) is a function that judges based on values that are not linked to the environment or culture around them, and S(i) _(which INTPs share)_ is very focused on how someone or something makes YOU feel. So there is this propensity to judge a person, a group or even an entire culture with what the INFP feels about it ( *Edit:* As in S(i) telling F(i) what verdict it should have, and F(i) finding a reason after the fact), and attach labels to it, accusations without ground that can be really destructive to someone / the culture. And since T(e) is the weakest function they use, bad INFPs will be completely blind to the consequences of the positions they espouse, while more mature INFPs will realize the damage they don't want to inflict that they can accidentally, or unwittingly, cause. As a result, good INFPs tend to be the meek, good natured, helpful kind that will make you groan with their puns, that will be needing help on some mundane stuff and be genuinely thankful for it, and that will make you feel good with the emotional and appreciative "daaaaaw". INFPs with no awareness of their T(e) aspirant, and no control of their T(i) demon becomes insane crusaders, espousing causes that makes no sense to anyone but their self-righteous cliques. Artists and communists fighting capitalism using Apple products and with no concept of "irony". People glued to the road? You can bet an -NFP is involved somewhere, probably the ones with wacky tatoos, piercings and/or hair colors (an effect of S(e) Blindspot). Actual non-ironic triggers and pronouns? Probably an unhealthy -NFP. Feminists yelling in the streets to mass-import people that will, at best, want them in burquas? -NFP... or one hell of a T(e) blindspot (so potentially INFJ). An unruly S(i) child / F(i) hero / T(i) demon is one hell of a combo.
@@piotrnogas8448 As for the others: _ISTP:_ They are incredibly close to their stereotypes, which I find awesome. The ability to come to a conclusion that is better than the "common knowledge", by themselves, and act on it, is something I admire, as I tend to only be able to do the first part. And their T(i) hero means that if you throw ideas at them, they will weigh these ideas with their own rationale, their own reasonings, and be pretty fair about it, while T(e) users, especially ISTJ / ESTJ will default to whatever figures of authority or previous teachings they've received instructed them to believe. For example: If your government was to push onto you some rushed experimental gene therapy rebranded as a common preventative treatment, an ISTP will understand your reluctance and leave you alone while an ISTJ will badger you. *INTJ:* That brooding guy who don't mind working overtime and seems to predict the future every time someone takes a chance in life? Find one of his niche interests and actively listen to them, without judging, especially if it is unpopular, and they'll never shut up. Give them something to experiment and play with, the child will resurface. N(i) hero / F(i) child is a weird combination. *ENTJ:* We are each other's shadow. Same functions, same order, but what you're introverted on, I am extroverted on and vice-versa. What you're good at, but don't like to do, you can delegate to me and I'll be pretty happy you're taking on the parts I dislike [T(e) vs T(i)]. The drive you've got and ability to focus on getting your goal done is the kick in the arse I need, while I am able to pick on side opportunities you would have missed making us progress much faster [N(i) vs N(e)]. Your touched up appearance and need to share information, and be very communicative is easily absorbed by the INTP's incredible ability to appreciate, to listen, to remember [S(e) vs S(i)]. And the justifications for all that hard work, the fact you are actually bringing improvement, even if it is improvement others are often blind to is something we deeply respect and can explain to others well so that you get recognition for it [F(i) vs F(e)]. Nothing ground-breaking on those last two ones, everyone tends to have complementary relationships with their shadows (invert E-I *AND* P-J) and rivals (invert *ONLY* P-J).
2:42 - 2:52 even if that is true to be honest, i wouldnt show up. i lack the interest in group activities. but if its a discussion about a topic where i can learn then i rush to it to the best of my ability
Infps can be hard to hang with if they can't enjoy the show. If and when they can enjoy the intellect and barrage of ideas and add to comversation rather than criticize (us) for being 'right' all the time, it is pleasurable. I don't really dig being criticized because someone feels like I'm trying to be right, when I am. Hopefully that, the above comment, came across as..not full of ego, pun unintended. I just state the facts which are neither trying to be 'right' or alter reality. And my darker humor is reserved for others, not the infp out of experience. Wasn't that honest of me, now? If an intp, even, gives you advice or corrects you, feel blessed that they love you enough to risk pissing you off.
Middle aged INTP here. Yeah, that auxiliary Ne is definitely helpful. ENFPs and ENTPs are great, but primary Ne can be a lot to take in. "...INTPs think we're all a bit dumb and dopey..." Well, yeah... We do... but we think that about everyone, most especially ourselves. It's not an Fi sort of judgement so much as an observation about how the universe works. That's where things tend to get hairy with INTPs and INFPs: translating Fi. We can see just about anything as "is" versus "isn't" without getting into the "should" versus "shouldn't" of it. We all have areas where our personal biases don't allow for compromise, but expecting us to respect your Fi as somehow being sacrosanct is just asking for trouble. Loved the cat comparison, by the way... even if I'm more of a dog person...
I'm an INTP and i do judge other people at face value, i guess we are just more accepting and understanding than others. Super loyal, yes... had to be us , someone else might have gotten it wrong. I want do disagree with something you said, other people don't necessarily need outside validation either, it's just some neuron pathways that were used, and rewarded when they were young and so ended up that way, perhaps caving in to peer pressure, maybe some parents being pushy about learning & stuff. I was very free when i was young, left to make up my own mind about a lot of stuff; of course i saw other kids opinions on matters but i also noticed those kids being wrong a lot of times. I wouldn't use the word love, at least not so soon milady, it's also a very large polyamorous relationship you want me to commit to, i mean -ALL INFP's- that's a lot. But yeah, i do like INFP's and i have noticed we get along well, especially when we are 1on1 or in a small group, i have noticed them to wonder off into group think as soon as the group is larger the groups interest or some other interests become more important, but i guess we all do that sometimes. I distinctly remember i can't get INFP's to stay on one topic for too long unless i make some show of it, i would like it more if i could have a more buddy-cop duo with an INFP that can reserve let's say 1 hour a day for talking about an interest we both share (writing fiction in my case). Ideally this should happen naturally and not have defined hours and schedule, but even with a time-table i can't seem to nail you INFP's to a topic, even if you are interested in it (hope this is not a general thing and it's just me being unlucky). Search youtube for: Benjamin Spicy INFP Is The Best Type And Here's Why , the video is gold, everyone is like that i'm sure, but most people just don't admit it, and i find myself in that video a lot.
IN REGARDS TO THOUGHTS ON INFPS: I think INFPs are very cool and back when I was single, I would match on apps with INFPs more than any other type, however there was a problem. It seemed like your Ne informing Fi created a lot of reading between the lines that doomed those relationships. Typical situation: We have a strong vibe, are fascinated by each other's views and she'd think I was the greatest ever. THEN, we'd disagree on something I saw as a minor issue and she'd see a huge moral red flag. All the unreasonably favorable assumptions she had about me would go the other way and my attempts to right would come off as excuses and a death spiral followed. It's sad, but it happened more than once. I have found happiness with an ISFP. The biggest difference is that with Ne trickster she can't read between the lines well and takes me at face value until proven otherwise which allows me to make a mistake before paying for the assumption of wrong motives. There isn't the deep philosophical conversations of the INFP/INTP relationships from Ne, but the drama of having to consider how my words or actions are going to be reinterpreted gives me more peace of mind.
A very valid point and interesting to hear your lived experience of this as a romantic match! I must agree, as an INFP we are particularly idealistic and can hold our romantic partnerships up to extremely high expectations, especially younger/inexperienced INFP’s. Therefore any slight conflicts can really be catastrophised by us, as you say. I’ve had to learn to take my ENTJ at face value and not overthink things as much too, as I could definitely see the same issues you described occurring. Glad you have found love and happiness elsewhere nonetheless!!
@@theimperfectinfp I think INFPs are the perfect blend of smart and feminine. They inspire a desire to take care of them, but everything is so critical it's hard to do so. I imagine in a mature relationship once the other person is well established as an ally and not a potential predator the relationship could be incredible given Si child loyalty in both.
I sadly never knowingly met an INFP, but I am sadly not really concentrating on meeting new people. I have a small circle of friends and even then, those guys don’t really know me deeply as they think they do. I guess us INTP’s are too interested in learning to notice people most of the time.
After watching this video i am having second thoughts on if i really am an intp usually i came across ppl describing intps as lazy nerds, but damn man.. infps are quite observant in their own respect. Anyways guess i will look for some infp..
Heck no. INFP's are smart. Me and my infp friend can just while away so much time chilling and talking. She reads a lot and introduced me to some cool modern philosophers, so yeah, I do not think INFP's are dumb in the slightest. The only problem is when you put us together we don't get anything done lol.
I feel like there are people who know a little about a lot, and there are people who know a whole lot about a little. That’s me. A more specialized knowledge in the topics I’m passionate about, otherwise, I’m not too interested.
Sorry, I'm INTP 9w8 and a huge fan of Peterson, but I can't let you say he is INTP, when he is clearly INFJ (Ni, Fe, Ti, Se). Btw, in a couple with an INFP 9w1 that is my soulmate and a litteral walking shining star. Keep up the good work, but please stop triggering my Ti. I just spend 30 min on google to see if I was wrong about Peterson !!! *Rants in Ne*
Interesting! I am very open to being wrong about this as I hadn’t researched it too closely - I’ve also seen he could be considered an INFJ, which is wild haha. But yeah - I can see arguments for both!
@@theimperfectinfp I think He is definitely infj. Ne users appears more mentally fresh while Ni users are more stable.And also he is clearly Fe,Ti.And I don't think he's enfj cuz his subconscious looks more estp than istp. May be he's infj enneagram 5.
INTP not cool at all, I need to shut down my brain for a day, some say meditation is to slowing down brain, but my brain running faster with that meditation. I always getting overwhelmed by all things I see.
I don’t agree on Jordan Peterson being an INTP, he said in an interview with his wife and daughter, that hes in the 95th percentile of Extroversion in the big 5… Other than that I agree, INFPs are also cute as an INTP
I mean my suspicion was an INTP, however many people have said he's an INFJ....I personally see INFJ but I don't see ENTJ at all. What do you reckon he is?
Yeah I've seen many people typed him as INFJ too and it would make more sense if he is as he most likely have Ni (seeing similar patterns in different things and using them as analogied to draw conclusions) and Fe (getting overly emotional and crying when speaking about something)
@@Epic-1224 yeah I’m definitely swaying towards INFJ :) I don’t see much Te at all in his long convoluted ideas and speeches either 😆 but definitely Ni!
There's this dilemma for the INTP type, as one, I can pretty much say that basically everything that has a name and is in our reach has already been processed and given a value on the big jigsaw of our reality, so to speak, I don't think we're the coolest but we might be. After all "cool" is relative (truly we think we're cool AF we just don't wanna brag around because it's only about weird stuff that not even another INTP can identify). Thank you for this video, it's really sweet. Still can't understand INFPs though. I just think they're genuine.
I understand that, I found that really fascinating when researching you guys and also looking at my INTP friends. I have an INTP friend who was feeling a bodily experience and was sat struggling to logically identify what feeling it was as he hadn’t experienced it before - which I just thought was funny to observe as an INFP 😆 You’re very welcome - enjoyed making it! I also don’t understand INFP’s either, we’re confusing even for ourselves haha. Genuine, idealistic, and very very deep feelers 😅
as an infp, i’ve never been able to connect with another person the way i did my intp ex. recently lost him because we fell victim to the one area in which we clashed. im emotionally stormy and eventually he no longer felt safe. don’t think ill get over the loss. so i’ve learned to adore this personality type, but to fear it as well.
This is definitely a very valuable learning lesson for almost every INFP I think, and I can definitely relate with previous relationships. I used to feel the same until I met my current partner, so I can assure you that one day you will find someone new (and different) to your ex and be ready to give love another go, just all part of our journey and growth! Lots of love to you ❤️
@@sirenthewolf8315 I promise there is! One thing I try to remember is that you did the best you could, with the knowledge and tools you had at the time. We learn things for a reason ❤️ and you can work on things a little differently next time around! 😘
I'm intp and I love infps.
I never think infps are dump.
INFPs are the most innocent
and intelligent people I have known!
Awww that is actually so good to hear!! I always feel like it’s maybe a little unrequited on my part 😆 INTP’s are some of the most tolerant and coolest people I know - I think we’re both typically intelligent too - just in different ways!
@@theimperfectinfp I would have loved to know how is it to have emotional intelligence.
Rather than being just empathetic.
-INTP
I totally agree with you. I'm very much an INTP myself....and the personality type I like the most in other people, is hands down INFPs. Basically, they're the same as me....but....they're more connected to the emotional aspects of reality. I live in my head, my intellect, all day, and it's exhausting tbh. I often get home after a long stressful day....and literally watch interviews with the musician Aurora. She's a hardcore INFP....and something about her entire vibe is incredibly comforting and inspiring. It's total ASMR to my personality type.
Sometimes I think....if I could remake my MBPT into anything I wanted....I'd choose INFP.
I absolutely love being an introvert....and a big picture thinker....and a perceiver.
But....living inside my intellect can be so tiring, and often makes other people....not like you. They assume you're aloof(when you're actually hyper aware) or assume you think you're better than them. Sometimes I think it would be nice to FEEL something....deeply....and exist inside that feeling and live there.
I have this odd theory that if I could improve my life...and my overall mental health on all levels....I would be more of an INFP. Maybe. Idk.... :/
The one confirmed info person I know is my best friend and a genius!
As an INTP - I really enjoy both INF and even ISF types…with the INF’s being easier to relate to…but the ISF’s being about the sweetest people ever, to the point I find them fascinating
I am an INTP female and really nice to hear an actual appreciation for us. Usually people assume we are emotionally cold. I am an older INTP and feel much more comfortable with emotions than I used to but I still feel that fight.
As an INTP I really appreciate INFP's realness and honesty. It's fun fangirling with them, having convos about weird stuff and normal stuff both
I agree, INFP's and INTP's vibe very well :)
Why I love INFPs as an INTP:
I used to live life without much going on. I was just a peaceful and lazy INTP who didn't care or even was aware of what was happening out in the real world. Then I met an INFP and we started connecting mentally. We didn't meet much, we just went with the flow and the time flew so fast.
1. I lack Fi. Therefore even though I had an identity function Ti as my strongest, I felt a part of my indentity at its weakest. One part of me had a strong but flexible identity which people liked about me, and the other was simply just empty. My INFP friend with strong Fi came to me as my other half and I don't think I even deserved that. Everybody only saw that Ti identity in me while INFPs saw both my Ti identity (probably since they lacked it) and the missing Fi identity.
2. Us and INFPs have similar standards. Loyalty coming from our Si child, honesty and authenticity, someone who I can learn from (I have so much I learned from my INFP friend such as just being there and feeling), and non-judgmental/openmindedness.
She helped me mature, I helped her mature. We both helped each other suppress our stubbornness and open our eyes to a brand new world in the healthiest way anyone could ever done.
I can go on with the list but I will end it here for now.
The Ne laughs are fun too ! Time has no more meaning during those conversations...
Flattered by the compliments on my type. I really truly love weirdos (infps)
Hahahh the best comment
Ikr im melting 😂❤
I'm an INTP female and my best friend is a male INFP. I've never met anybody else who has such a profound love and respect for humanity, with all its joys and miseries. In his case it takes a very philosophical bend (you guys are waaaaaay smarter than the stereotypes give you credit for) and together we can discuss philosophy, psychology and literature for hours. He's the only one I have never managed to tire out.
Our only point of friction is this: the two of us haven't had it easy, but objectively he's had it way worse than me. Yet, he's managed to secure for himself a much more stable future than what I have. However, somehow it's like he can't see that, neither can he fully realise how far he's come. It's very difficult for me to describe, but it literally looks like existential sadness has a grip on him, and he can't free himself from it. It's not whiny or "Sad girl" or performative, it's genuine melancholy and pessimism, and there's no way to reason with that.
We were born with existential sadness 🙈
omg this is so real
as a intp i have very serious problems wich is im always lazy always tierd ... thinking in too much things insted off focus on one goal and complete one the right way .
i like your way of speaking keep going.
I am an INFJ 4w5, and I have found a deep appreciation for INTPs since meeting one and starting to learn more about them! They're fascinating, and my INTP friend is one of the most intriguing people I have ever met (partly because I'd never met anyone quite like him before).
Have to agree with you there! Very fascinating 😆
OMG, you wrote fasinating, and I was going to include that in my reply. I wonder what percentage ofr us have healthy self esteem . . . ??? I did not for a long time.
(sorry for any mistake English's not my first language) As an INTP I tend to always catch feelings for INFPs, they're actually able to make me feel understood and I can create a deeper connection, they tend to be fascinated by the way I think and all the schemes trough wich I see life; also they get my sense of humour, wich is very rare. Sadly, it's very difficult for me to have solid relationships with them and in the end I always get my heart broken 💔. I am now recovering from the rejection of an INFP that as I see it now may be the only person I ever actually loved... As an INTP I tend not te be in touch with my emotions but INFPs can help me bring awareness to that trough the deep intellectual and emotional connection that we share. Only having a single deep conversation with an INFP changed the way I saw the world around me and I think that is one of the rarest things one can experience in life, sometimes talking to them felt like living in a completely different world, in which there was space for beauty and art, and it felt like distancing from all the things in the real world that I find ugly, stressful or otherwise accepting all these things and seeing them in a different light. I think the connection that INFPs and us INTPs may share is on the rarest and most precious things we can experience.
First of all Thank You for the well thought out and delivered message on intps.
Second i believe infps are very special and society needs to take care of them and with them. asking them to be anything else then what they are shuts them down then we are a world with out art, creative expression and the wonder of love. The world needs infps and what they bring to the table. Heck with out infps at the table no one else even wants to sit there.
It angers me when someone tells anyone they are too emotional. There is a reason for emotion. As an intp i was blessed to have *nfps in my life to help me realize what emotions i even have and how to process them. I am a better person because yall are who you are.
I have made it one of my life missions to care for any infp i might come across in life. and no one will make them feel bad about who they are when i am around.
i'm an INTP with an INFP sister, i think of the INFP as someone who would melt my heart by how innocent and kind they can be, but still give me chills when they try to be the SJW or not hear to my points obfuscated by their feelings. I like to encourage my sister to let people be when they are trying to be 'anyone else', i still apreciate the search of authenticity
We love INFPs. They're not afraid to be their selves. Just don't cry in front of us
welp, I've cried in front of my INTP friend a handful of times hahah - love this though!!
This is weird to hear being an infp who never cries in front of people. The only person who I allow myself to show my tears to is my mom. That too, extremely seldom. I can only let myself cry when I'm alone lol
@@justacarat2638 if I had the ability to not cry everywhere and over anything I’d probably pick that 😆 it just happens if I’m overwhelmed/upset/angry my voice cracks and I’ll start crying hahaha
From one INTP to another, I think that I mastered how to handle it when they cry by experience:
1. Make slow moves. Don't stare on her eyes/cheeks all the time.
2. Provide food/warm drink/handkerchief/blanket. Whatever is appropriate to the situation.
3. Connect through careful hugs/soft touch.
4. Don't talk at first, listen to them.
5. Don't give them a talk about your solution to the problem or why it might not really be a problem. Instead just try to connect to her vibe and go with her flow.
6. When it stops and she gives you the sign she's stable again, try to offer an activity that she likes and where she is usually in her comfort zone. For example go for a walk in the nearby forest (fresh air helps a lot) or watch one episode of her favourite TV series.
7. While all of this happens don't take in other information. Leave your phone in the pocket at all times. If you look at it, even if she doesn't say anything, she noticed that you got distracted of her situation and you might as well drop a bomb on your relationship.
Good luck :)
INTP here.
I think INFPs are great, there’s something just so endearing about them. They can show a lot of passion for people and activities, and none of it ever comes off as fake. They’re genuine people who stick to their values and I have a lot of respect for that. Also some of them are my favorite musicians so that definitely helps a lot.
Gerard Way, the lead singer of MCR if anybody was wondering.
I love this comment - also I loved Gerard Way when I was younger so that makes a lot of sense!! Thank you for watching, Connor :)
All the INFJs who love INTPs please raise your hands up...
I'm an INTP with an ISFP gf. When I tell her all the random things I find amusing or throw out alternative lyrics to songs she feels sorry for my "poor mind" because it never turns off. While Ti is the most significant thing to an INTP I find the randomness of Ne as almost a second personality that never allows me to get bored or dogmatic. I think Ne plays a big part in our desire to play devil's advocate over just building a straightforward case. Its why when most types try to build an airtight case for what they think we often devote a lot of time poking holes in our own beliefs, so other's arguments don't surprise us.
Of course I love INFPs. They’re miles deep and vastly underappreciated. 💕
Thanks, that's really sweet! I also love INFPs for their mystical and complex moral code, for their interesting thoughts that you can hear only in the case they trust you or like you, or you just asked in the right way. Relationships with INFPs is always a mystery to me, because you guys are so quiet and untalkative, and INTPs really want to know what you think, but using our Fe for asking is exhausting. So I hope that helps with understanding that INTPs do care, they just don't know how to show it
For me, the INFP is the most interesting type and also with whom i identify the most, i mean, i think i get them... but maybe it's only me because i'm also 4w5 and that's kind of unusual for INTPs
You might be 5w4 INTP, as we tend to be incorrectly tested as 4w5. It all depends in how logical and analytical you are. Do you value emotional expression over logic, or the other way around?
One of the things that I think we INTPs like so much about MBTI is it's reflective (expressive?) of the logical conclusion that different personality types serve a purpose and should have a place in the world. Therefore, it would be silly of us to not like INFPs. Your personality type serves a purpose, and it's on us to understand that purpose and appreciate your contribution to the fabric of humanity.
Also, y'all tend to be sweet and cute.
Aww this is lovely and very insightful. Makes a lot of sense :)
I’m an INTP, and I get the same warm, cozy, feeling from my INFP friends. So happy to know the cozy feeling is mutual.
This video was sweet. 🥰
I’m and INTP. My mother and sister are both INFPs and other than my INFJ spouse they are the two people who fully understand and accept me. They’re both pretty emotional people and I do my best to help them navigate the world with less pain and they let me know when I’m being a little too robotic and unsympathetic. I think they’re the best type to be around because they seem to fully accept people as they have some kind of innate understanding for the reasoning behind the way people are. They’re often the first to reach out, and that’s great for an INTP because we suck at that. 😂 At least in my experience.
Thank you soo much for such a thoughtful comment. You guys really do help us navigate the world without getting hurt quite as much, and I also really resonate with being able to understand why people are the way they are, hahah. I think both INTP's and INFP's have a lot of tolerance for one another and it just seems to work quite well. Though I can see why INTP x INFJ works well for a marriage :)
That's cute
Wow. Very well done! Spot on.. That's me to a T
Im a Infp and my mother is a Intp, love her with all my heart shes just the best 👩👦❤
Cute!! 💕🥰
What do we think about INFP ? The world would be a better place if there was more of you.
Wait.........there are people who LIKE us? What's the catch....?
I'm very much an INTP myself....and the personality type I like the most in other people, is hands down INFPs. Basically, they're the same as me....but....they're more connected to the emotional aspects of reality. I live in my head, my intellect, all day, and it's exhausting tbh... That scene in Wolf of Wallstreet where Matthew McConaughey's character is talking about being in your head...and the "acidic sharp mustard" feeling of it all....boy that resonates.

This was really lovely to watch, you are adorable.
It is so nice to see someone like these qualities about us, I more often have people misunderstand my intentions and point out my negative qualities. I know a big part is my own fault because I don’t open up much, but it honestly makes me less inclined to try. The closest I have is an ENFP friend, but her energy can sometimes wear me down. I unfortunately do not have any INFPs in my life, but I really admire your authenticity and your ability to know yourself.
Thank you for the video!
this is SUCH a lovely comment and I really appreciate you going out of your way to say such nice things. appreciate you INTP’s so much :)
I appreciate this video and what you’ve mentioned here, what you’ve said resonates in my case. A few long-term friends of mine are INFPs and I find we build off each other’s humor incredibly well. Our Ne helps with that as you say 😆
Interestingly enough my INFP friends have expressed the same as you, that some part of them appreciates our (INTPs) sometimes brutal honesty. That’s something I’ve found refreshing. I’ve had to learn to word particular things in a less harsh way when I’m around certain people who don’t process things in a similar fashion as me. I still express my thoughts, but not in an entirely “emotionless” or tactless manner. When I was younger I was somewhat outspoken in stating what I found to be true or logical, but my social awareness and what’s generally socially acceptable (Fe in part) kicked into gear later on. Though I still have to make a conscious effort to raise my eyebrows and such in order to remove my RBF… Not that I don’t feel things, my emotions just don’t seem to innately travel to my face even if I’m feeling great. Hence the robot stereotype I suppose 😅
Anyway, I really enjoyed this video and I look forward to watching your future content, whatever you decide to create! Take care and I’m wishing you well.
My friend and colleague is an INFP and when you said about these types vibing I was like yep this is just like our friendship! She once sent me a meme that was like 'you're weird too, i like you' and I was like is this why we are friends? :D
this is 1000% my experience with INTP's too - it works so well!
WoW! I didn't know about them, but now I can guess some interesting INTPs around me, specialy in my Art University 🤩
Go forth and appreciate them!!! Is it you who is interested in the INFP x INFP relationship video? 🥰
@@theimperfectinfp For sure! Yes this is me 😂
This is going to happen, I'm waiting for your advice! 😅💚
What I as an INTP think about INFPs:
As we try to analyze everything with logic.. you are definitely one of the most difficult one to understand what is going on in your head… either I think u are just completely driven by your emotions that can change also pretty damn fast or I think you are very interesting cause I can’t analyze you and want to know how u see the world! I love different perspectives to see the world :)
What I like about you is that u seem to be very based on your own. So not just doing things because others think it’s cool and you wanna be liked by others. Another point is you seem to prefer to be alone as well the most time.
It just would be lovely if I could have a very good talk to an INFP where the person can tell me what’s going on in their head cause when I ask how they got this or that idea they often struggle to explain their thoughts or why the like what they like in general… (how can u not think about why u like something until u got the answer?? 😂)
Hope that helped u :D
I like INTPs but my favorite are ENFPs by far!
As an intp, I appreciate the video. And I truly love infps (currently attracted to 1 now). I do tend to share my most valuable knowledge and thoughts with the people that I care about. These are the people that I get along with often understand me. I assure you it’s dark thoughts inside the minds of an intp. But we aren’t exactly fast thinkers, quite the opposite. It takes us so long to make a decision or form a bias.
I can see actually that it may take you a long time to form decisions, I think in the context of joking about and banter, you guys are extremely witty, generally. Just something I appreciate in the INTP's I have in my life. But for more serious topics I can deffo get that things need to be weighed up and evaluated fully! Thank you very much for watching :)
I live in dorm and i feel like a predator sometimes =) I have 0 friends to talk to (moved to another country and lost those few i had with time) and sometimes as any other introvert i also need to socialize a little. Since the closest person i know and got used to him is my neighbour (kitchen is shared) I sometimes just go and attack him with few hours long deep discussions. Funny thing is that he thinks i am an introvert and like to talk to people a lot while in reality he is the only one i talk to and with other people i am silent all the time. The only bad thing is that he isn't good at most of the topics so generally i spend a lot of time to explain it to him and then discuss.
@@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781 this sounds like a bit of a rough time for you :( are there any opportunities meet new people through your work/education setting?
i'm an intp and honestly I am ok with almost everyone who don't cross the boundaries. i obviously prefer connecting with introverted people since they appreciate your personal space more than extroverts. i don't like small talk. i love being alone with my dog, reading a book while sitting on the floor or reading about some random topics from science, medicine to how to model things in 3ds max :D i think most intps are like that. we just love to to know things about everything
"...in their advice and things that they say to you... sometimes it's a little bit ruthless..."
Yes, and that's why my silence is and will always be deliberate, and people, for whatever reason, just cannot see through and understand that. I know VERY WELL that my words can and will hurt IF I want them to hurt, and sometimes even if I don't, that's why I'd much rather not say anything at all because I know that people love to take offense when they feel even the slightest bit of emotional sting, even if it's just a collateral of what they're actually supposed to be paying attention to. Saves me my very limited energy and time.
As and INTP, my fav MBTI’s are INFP, INFJ, INTJ, and ENTP
2:40 Lovely way of looking at it
4:40 This is honestly the reason I'm not getting on at work, amongst salespeople!
INTP here reporting on what we would think about INFP people.
I think this can be summed up pretty easily. It's a clash of NT vs NF.
NT's will get into feelings once the data is settled out, not before. It's frustrating to hear about feelings before the data is in or if a person wants to prioritize feelings over the data after it's come in. If there is a universal way it's through thinking, not feeling. It's difficult to break out of the thinking first model and accept people's feelings as they come. Be patient if you can.
This would be where you feel the love is unrequited. We're just frustrated that you put feelings before facts/thinking.
well summarized, that's the only thing that we could not like about INFPs because at least in my experience with them they are very interesting, honest and good people in general.
@@m.dave2141 I like the artistic expression of INFP's. Probably the biggest thing I wish I had. Pure artistic talent. Knowing random facts and how they can be applied to a different random fact through some theoretical unifying principle has little real world yield.
If they would just go through a brain function of Instinct>reason>emotion, rather than Instict>emotion>reason.
@@Morgan-Madsen I am INTP and I have an INFP friend, we both make music and what we do is more or less at the same artistic level, I think the difference is in how we process the creation of art and its learning but the results eventually depend mostly on our effort, and very little on our personality, at least in my opinion.
i mean i use art as an excuse to improve on my emotional side and/or connect with it, and it helps a lot.
@@m.dave2141 That has nothing to do with the base way Empaths and Analysts interact...
Well, I don't know about other INFP's, but I think you're brilliant.

i came to see why you liked my personality type, great vid - just wanted to point out something - you look like the infp character :)
hahahah someone has said this before actually, thank you for watching!
No infps are not dumb for the majority in my opinion. I really enjoy their creativity that is some how familiar. Infps that i know have a multitude of talents but never commit to that one thing seems like to me. They have this internal value system that ill never understand. I think they share alot with the intp all in all. Oh and this is a great infp video about and intp by my thinking. You were displaying your emotional side of your attachment with the intp. Its not another video filled with contradicting information. I was able to sit through the whole thing!
Thanks great video!
just wanted to let you know I appreciate such a thoughtful and kind comment!! thank you :)
I like that infp's can be very kind and caring, but infp's can be either really easy going where you can talk to them for hours or they can be so low on their ti-function so that they get offended by every why-question an Intp asks. 😂
But generally I like talking to Infp's as an Intp.
I love infps! They teach me so much.
You said that if an INTP doesn't like you he won't talk to you, as an INTP myself I feel like people think I hate them because I dont start conversations or I don't talk to them regularly, but it's like I never really dislike anyone, everyone has some kind of quirk that makes them unique and fascinating, but if I don't feel like talking to someone I'm not really gonna do it for the sake of it.
The main reason is that I value truth and if I don't wanna talk (most of the time it's not anyone's fault, it's just that for 90% of the time I'm thinking about some weird stuff that nobody else would be interested in), and if I have any reason to believe that the other person wouldn't wanna talk I really don't want to start a conversation because I don't want to force him to lie and continue the conversation if he really doesn't feel like it.
you sound like a very mature INFP, outlook wise :)
Fun discussion. It's interesting to see things from a certain point of view. Thank you for your honesty, and effort into making this video. You've asked for feedback from an INTP, so I'll endeavor to be honest in return.
I'm not wholly interested in someone based on an arbitrary temperament difference. Interest is the governing attraction, and I often find myself at its mercy. However, being disinterested in a person is not equitable to disliking or unloving them. Not in the least! It's more of a...focus really. I certainly do not have the time nor energy to, on a consistent basis, attend to a friend's (or family member's) day-to-day life and wellbeing---as much as I love them. Oh, but how I wish I could! For fear of someone close to me excluding me from their life! Though I cannot blame them for it, they will always remain close to me. I believe this is attributable to your point of loyalty in an INTP, as it seems to me. Well, I am rambling...
Again, thank you for posting. Keep up the good work!
Interesting insight! Thank you for watching I really appreciate it :)
I love being weird as an intp and I am confident so I also help my esfp friend who is not so confident
I'm an intp and this video made me feel very appreciated 😁 you just gained a new subscriber 🤍
I appreciate uuu 🥰🥰 I’m glad you liked the video, thank you very much ❤️❤️
I'm an INTP 5w4 and I just found out from your video that Jordan Peterson is an INTP so, that's cool! Also thanks for the video I'm sure you're a phenomenal INFP. My favourite poet is also an INFP!
Thank you for watching!! Apparently Peterson is up for debate, there’s a few people in these comments who suspects otherwise, so I could be wrong! Who is your favourite poet? :)
Someone who goes by the name Priya Dolma Tamang. She has a book released called ' The Ivory Gleam ' if you want to check her out. She had an ig but she usually deactivates it. A great poetess nonetheless.
From one INTP to another, be careful of Jordan Peterson. He couches many problematic, misogynistic, racist, and classist arguments in his literature and lectures. He disguises this regressive thinking behind heavily academic (and therefore legitimate-sounding) language to give himself sort of a false aura of expertise. In reality, he is really nothing but a clinical psychologist who should have stayed a clinical psychologist. Don't be tricked by his pseudointellectualism.
Good video, I think Louis Theroux could be an INTO, but I disagree about Jordan Peterson. I think he’s more likely to be INFJ. As for Stephen King, I’d lean more toward INFP. He seems more in tune with emotions than an INTP is.
But I could be wrong.
@@chairmanrexton956 Yes, those two are definitely feelers.
4:00 this is a near perfect description of most of my interactions with my infp friend
Iike INFPs my friend is INFP i feel comfortable to talk with him
INTP:
- *INFP are pure good or pure evil, no in-between. Worth going to war for / my purest apathy.*
- _ISTP are smart enough to keep up AND able to do things well. If only I was less of an hindrance in the physical world!_
- *INTJ are goofy, and by far the most fascinating to speak with. Great sounding boards, great TTRPG players.*
- _ENTJ can make our ideas come true. They value us, so I value them._
I don't really care about the other types as a whole, but I will admit I appreciate some specific specimens of ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTP and INFJ.
this is a interesting comment - can you elaborate: especially about INFPs being 100% good or bad?
INTP loving ENTJ here :)
@@piotrnogas8448
Sure. *It's an F(i) Hero [1st] / S(i) Child [3rd] thing.* F(i) is a function that judges based on values that are not linked to the environment or culture around them, and S(i) _(which INTPs share)_ is very focused on how someone or something makes YOU feel.
So there is this propensity to judge a person, a group or even an entire culture with what the INFP feels about it ( *Edit:* As in S(i) telling F(i) what verdict it should have, and F(i) finding a reason after the fact), and attach labels to it, accusations without ground that can be really destructive to someone / the culture. And since T(e) is the weakest function they use, bad INFPs will be completely blind to the consequences of the positions they espouse, while more mature INFPs will realize the damage they don't want to inflict that they can accidentally, or unwittingly, cause.
As a result, good INFPs tend to be the meek, good natured, helpful kind that will make you groan with their puns, that will be needing help on some mundane stuff and be genuinely thankful for it, and that will make you feel good with the emotional and appreciative "daaaaaw".
INFPs with no awareness of their T(e) aspirant, and no control of their T(i) demon becomes insane crusaders, espousing causes that makes no sense to anyone but their self-righteous cliques. Artists and communists fighting capitalism using Apple products and with no concept of "irony". People glued to the road? You can bet an -NFP is involved somewhere, probably the ones with wacky tatoos, piercings and/or hair colors (an effect of S(e) Blindspot). Actual non-ironic triggers and pronouns? Probably an unhealthy -NFP. Feminists yelling in the streets to mass-import people that will, at best, want them in burquas? -NFP... or one hell of a T(e) blindspot (so potentially INFJ).
An unruly S(i) child / F(i) hero / T(i) demon is one hell of a combo.
@@piotrnogas8448 As for the others:
_ISTP:_ They are incredibly close to their stereotypes, which I find awesome. The ability to come to a conclusion that is better than the "common knowledge", by themselves, and act on it, is something I admire, as I tend to only be able to do the first part. And their T(i) hero means that if you throw ideas at them, they will weigh these ideas with their own rationale, their own reasonings, and be pretty fair about it, while T(e) users, especially ISTJ / ESTJ will default to whatever figures of authority or previous teachings they've received instructed them to believe.
For example: If your government was to push onto you some rushed experimental gene therapy rebranded as a common preventative treatment, an ISTP will understand your reluctance and leave you alone while an ISTJ will badger you.
*INTJ:* That brooding guy who don't mind working overtime and seems to predict the future every time someone takes a chance in life? Find one of his niche interests and actively listen to them, without judging, especially if it is unpopular, and they'll never shut up. Give them something to experiment and play with, the child will resurface. N(i) hero / F(i) child is a weird combination.
*ENTJ:* We are each other's shadow. Same functions, same order, but what you're introverted on, I am extroverted on and vice-versa. What you're good at, but don't like to do, you can delegate to me and I'll be pretty happy you're taking on the parts I dislike [T(e) vs T(i)]. The drive you've got and ability to focus on getting your goal done is the kick in the arse I need, while I am able to pick on side opportunities you would have missed making us progress much faster [N(i) vs N(e)]. Your touched up appearance and need to share information, and be very communicative is easily absorbed by the INTP's incredible ability to appreciate, to listen, to remember [S(e) vs S(i)]. And the justifications for all that hard work, the fact you are actually bringing improvement, even if it is improvement others are often blind to is something we deeply respect and can explain to others well so that you get recognition for it [F(i) vs F(e)].
Nothing ground-breaking on those last two ones, everyone tends to have complementary relationships with their shadows (invert E-I *AND* P-J) and rivals (invert *ONLY* P-J).
Conclusion is that I am funny and blanket
2:42 - 2:52 even if that is true to be honest, i wouldnt show up. i lack the interest in group activities. but if its a discussion about a topic where i can learn then i rush to it to the best of my ability
Infps can be hard to hang with if they can't enjoy the show. If and when they can enjoy the intellect and barrage of ideas and add to comversation rather than criticize (us) for being 'right' all the time, it is pleasurable. I don't really dig being criticized because someone feels like I'm trying to be right, when I am. Hopefully that, the above comment, came across as..not full of ego, pun unintended. I just state the facts which are neither trying to be 'right' or alter reality. And my darker humor is reserved for others, not the infp out of experience. Wasn't that honest of me, now? If an intp, even, gives you advice or corrects you, feel blessed that they love you enough to risk pissing you off.
My brother is an infp and we've always been good friends.
Middle aged INTP here. Yeah, that auxiliary Ne is definitely helpful. ENFPs and ENTPs are great, but primary Ne can be a lot to take in.
"...INTPs think we're all a bit dumb and dopey..."
Well, yeah... We do... but we think that about everyone, most especially ourselves. It's not an Fi sort of judgement so much as an observation about how the universe works. That's where things tend to get hairy with INTPs and INFPs: translating Fi. We can see just about anything as "is" versus "isn't" without getting into the "should" versus "shouldn't" of it. We all have areas where our personal biases don't allow for compromise, but expecting us to respect your Fi as somehow being sacrosanct is just asking for trouble.
Loved the cat comparison, by the way... even if I'm more of a dog person...
You're spot on when it comes to the clashes between INFP's and INTP's - thank you for watching :)
I'm an INTP and i do judge other people at face value, i guess we are just more accepting and understanding than others. Super loyal, yes... had to be us , someone else might have gotten it wrong.
I want do disagree with something you said, other people don't necessarily need outside validation either, it's just some neuron pathways that were used, and rewarded when they were young and so ended up that way, perhaps caving in to peer pressure, maybe some parents being pushy about learning & stuff. I was very free when i was young, left to make up my own mind about a lot of stuff; of course i saw other kids opinions on matters but i also noticed those kids being wrong a lot of times.
I wouldn't use the word love, at least not so soon milady, it's also a very large polyamorous relationship you want me to commit to, i mean -ALL INFP's- that's a lot. But yeah, i do like INFP's and i have noticed we get along well, especially when we are 1on1 or in a small group, i have noticed them to wonder off into group think as soon as the group is larger the groups interest or some other interests become more important, but i guess we all do that sometimes. I distinctly remember i can't get INFP's to stay on one topic for too long unless i make some show of it, i would like it more if i could have a more buddy-cop duo with an INFP that can reserve let's say 1 hour a day for talking about an interest we both share (writing fiction in my case). Ideally this should happen naturally and not have defined hours and schedule, but even with a time-table i can't seem to nail you INFP's to a topic, even if you are interested in it (hope this is not a general thing and it's just me being unlucky).
Search youtube for: Benjamin Spicy INFP Is The Best Type And Here's Why , the video is gold, everyone is like that i'm sure, but most people just don't admit it, and i find myself in that video a lot.
IN REGARDS TO THOUGHTS ON INFPS: I think INFPs are very cool and back when I was single, I would match on apps with INFPs more than any other type, however there was a problem. It seemed like your Ne informing Fi created a lot of reading between the lines that doomed those relationships. Typical situation: We have a strong vibe, are fascinated by each other's views and she'd think I was the greatest ever. THEN, we'd disagree on something I saw as a minor issue and she'd see a huge moral red flag. All the unreasonably favorable assumptions she had about me would go the other way and my attempts to right would come off as excuses and a death spiral followed. It's sad, but it happened more than once. I have found happiness with an ISFP. The biggest difference is that with Ne trickster she can't read between the lines well and takes me at face value until proven otherwise which allows me to make a mistake before paying for the assumption of wrong motives. There isn't the deep philosophical conversations of the INFP/INTP relationships from Ne, but the drama of having to consider how my words or actions are going to be reinterpreted gives me more peace of mind.
A very valid point and interesting to hear your lived experience of this as a romantic match! I must agree, as an INFP we are particularly idealistic and can hold our romantic partnerships up to extremely high expectations, especially younger/inexperienced INFP’s. Therefore any slight conflicts can really be catastrophised by us, as you say.
I’ve had to learn to take my ENTJ at face value and not overthink things as much too, as I could definitely see the same issues you described occurring.
Glad you have found love and happiness elsewhere nonetheless!!
@@theimperfectinfp I think INFPs are the perfect blend of smart and feminine. They inspire a desire to take care of them, but everything is so critical it's hard to do so. I imagine in a mature relationship once the other person is well established as an ally and not a potential predator the relationship could be incredible given Si child loyalty in both.
I sadly never knowingly met an INFP, but I am sadly not really concentrating on meeting new people. I have a small circle of friends and even then, those guys don’t really know me deeply as they think they do. I guess us INTP’s are too interested in learning to notice people most of the time.
After watching this video i am having second thoughts on if i really am an intp usually i came across ppl describing intps as lazy nerds, but damn man.. infps are quite observant in their own respect.
Anyways guess i will look for some infp..
😆 i personally love you guys, but don't forget, INFPs are lazy nerds too :)
I love intps as an infp
And INFPs are my fav
Wait.. Am I really a Cat? 🤯
This video makes me want to marry an INFP!
I love a healthy infps i have a sibling who i think is infp I don’t get along particularly well with but she is terbulent
And I still love them
Heck no. INFP's are smart. Me and my infp friend can just while away so much time chilling and talking. She reads a lot and introduced me to some cool modern philosophers, so yeah, I do not think INFP's are dumb in the slightest. The only problem is when you put us together we don't get anything done lol.
Jordan Peterson is an INFJ
Thank you 😊
I feel like there are people who know a little about a lot, and there are people who know a whole lot about a little. That’s me. A more specialized knowledge in the topics I’m passionate about, otherwise, I’m not too interested.
I'm intp and i will Madrid with you
what does this mean
Thank you 🙏🏾🙃
So welcome!! Thank you for being you 🥰
Sorry, I'm INTP 9w8 and a huge fan of Peterson, but I can't let you say he is INTP, when he is clearly INFJ (Ni, Fe, Ti, Se). Btw, in a couple with an INFP 9w1 that is my soulmate and a litteral walking shining star. Keep up the good work, but please stop triggering my Ti. I just spend 30 min on google to see if I was wrong about Peterson !!! *Rants in Ne*
Sad to see jordan peterson in the list, but I seriously doubt he is an INTP.
He's INFJ
Peterson is probably an ENTP, not an INTP.
Interesting! I am very open to being wrong about this as I hadn’t researched it too closely - I’ve also seen he could be considered an INFJ, which is wild haha. But yeah - I can see arguments for both!
@@theimperfectinfp I think He is definitely infj. Ne users appears more mentally fresh while Ni users are more stable.And also he is clearly Fe,Ti.And I don't think he's enfj cuz his subconscious
looks more estp than istp.
May be he's infj enneagram 5.
INFJ more like
All IN-Types so different to the extroverd optimised world. So all IN-Types are strange to other. I'm an INTP and I'm a loner in my heard.
We're really not cool at all. Cold as ice, externally.
From INTP analyst
Jordan Peterson I doubt he is
INTP not cool at all, I need to shut down my brain for a day, some say meditation is to slowing down brain, but my brain running faster with that meditation. I always getting overwhelmed by all things I see.
I don’t agree on Jordan Peterson being an INTP, he said in an interview with his wife and daughter, that hes in the 95th percentile of Extroversion in the big 5… Other than that I agree, INFPs are also cute as an INTP
Are you sure Jordan Peterson is INTP? I heard someone around him said he took the personality test before and it came out ENTJ...
I mean my suspicion was an INTP, however many people have said he's an INFJ....I personally see INFJ but I don't see ENTJ at all. What do you reckon he is?
Yeah I've seen many people typed him as INFJ too and it would make more sense if he is as he most likely have Ni (seeing similar patterns in different things and using them as analogied to draw conclusions) and Fe (getting overly emotional and crying when speaking about something)
@@Epic-1224 yeah I’m definitely swaying towards INFJ :) I don’t see much Te at all in his long convoluted ideas and speeches either 😆 but definitely Ni!
@@theimperfectinfp he's also been a clinical psychologist, and it's pretty hard to imagine an INTP or ENTJ in that role 🤔
I hate being cool . I'm better be a loser .
Random girl makes CZcams video months ago talking about liking INTPs
INTPs: ...is this flirting?
yes, yes it is 😂
There's this dilemma for the INTP type, as one, I can pretty much say that basically everything that has a name and is in our reach has already been processed and given a value on the big jigsaw of our reality, so to speak, I don't think we're the coolest but we might be. After all "cool" is relative (truly we think we're cool AF we just don't wanna brag around because it's only about weird stuff that not even another INTP can identify).
Thank you for this video, it's really sweet.
Still can't understand INFPs though. I just think they're genuine.
I understand that, I found that really fascinating when researching you guys and also looking at my INTP friends.
I have an INTP friend who was feeling a bodily experience and was sat struggling to logically identify what feeling it was as he hadn’t experienced it before - which I just thought was funny to observe as an INFP 😆
You’re very welcome - enjoyed making it! I also don’t understand INFP’s either, we’re confusing even for ourselves haha. Genuine, idealistic, and very very deep feelers 😅
I think JPs an ENTP
heard this a few times actually! someone else also suggested he's INFJ. I may well be wrong!
I like INFP's very much, but like most FP's, they can get very dramatic for no reason at all.
Well…not for no reason, it’s definitely down to our strong Fi 😆 but I see what you mean!!
Oh, so you like the weird types... 😆😅🤣😂
as a fellow weird type, yes 😆
@@theimperfectinfp Thanks for the love, lovely girl. I find INTPs very lovely, perhaps because we share being weird types. 😅😂
as an infp, i’ve never been able to connect with another person the way i did my intp ex. recently lost him because we fell victim
to the one area in which we clashed. im emotionally stormy and eventually he no longer felt safe. don’t think ill get over the loss. so i’ve learned to adore this personality type, but to fear it as well.
This is definitely a very valuable learning lesson for almost every INFP I think, and I can definitely relate with previous relationships. I used to feel the same until I met my current partner, so I can assure you that one day you will find someone new (and different) to your ex and be ready to give love another go, just all part of our journey and growth! Lots of love to you ❤️
@@theimperfectinfp so there’s hope🥹
@@sirenthewolf8315 I promise there is! One thing I try to remember is that you did the best you could, with the knowledge and tools you had at the time. We learn things for a reason ❤️ and you can work on things a little differently next time around! 😘
