This makes a lot of sense, Sherlock being an INTP. I myself am a INTP and I have solved many cases dealing with the love life and issues of my friends, to the point where people know I am smart or even consider me a genius. Cheating relationships, Issue with planning and carelessness of planning, and much more. It's funny because back then I would always wonder why I could solve the problems of others, but never my own. It's now made sense to me within the past 4-6 months, and it's cause I'm an INTP. I'm terrible with human emotion, I'm terrible with Women, Friends, and Family at times, and when it comes down to school academics I'm not really interested in such things, so when studying for a test I wing it and I get an A-. I plan on becoming a coder/programmer in the next few years to come. I wouldn't mind being a detective, but I'm not sure I'd throw my life away seeing my intellect is highly valuable. I also noticed Bill Gates was an INTP, as well as Issac Newton and Albert Einstein. It makes sense, as I and Bill Gates shared many similarities in high school and at home. My father tends to ask me why I'm always stuck in the house, when I could be partying at clubs and talking to Women. My response? I hate parties that don't relate to me, my friends, or family. Clubs are filled with booze, drugs, and vulnerable people, why would I want any of that exactly? I'd rather read, listen to music, and research things I'm actually interested in. Video games are also fun and relaxing. Yes, I consider Dark Souls and League of Legends to be exciting, as some people consider those games stressful and irritating 😂 I myself am quite disrespectful, Idiots annoy me with their pointless banter and bickering, then there is the fact that I think to myself and I lose myself in the interior world, as where people in the exterior world will assume I am lazy or just mentally not there.
Sherlock does not call himself a sociopath EXCEPT in the Benedict Cumberbatch version; and even then he is nothing like a sociopath. He suppresses his emotions for the BENEFIT of those he helps, not because he lacks a conscience.
IMO, the best portrayal of SH was by Jeremy Brett in the Granada series. He was not without emotion and deeply cared for his clients. And, he sought perfection. He rarely failed, but when he did, he felt terrible and refused payment. His character is closest to ISTP. He is certainly the embodiment of Ti, but INTP would not be so bold and quick to action--especially the extreme physical situations SH would engage in.
"Dangerously obsessed with uncovering the Truth". In today's World, this is a truism if there ever was one..... Obsession or Passion or Prime Directive as set internally in an INTP mind? This rings true to me as an INTP......Seeking that Truth can take one down paths many wish to obfuscate.
I wonder what would happen if a group of INTP's were to get together to brainstorm to try to help create solutions to problems on large scale............ Its not easy finding INTP'S.......If nothing else, I would venture it would make for a fascinating conversation.....What MB profile would be best as emcee for such an occasion ?
Look, we don’t like teams and teamwork because we usually take over and do everything ourselves. Now imagine the conflict arising by gathering a room of us working on a solution each thinking we are right. That sounds like the most hostile environment imaginable
@@seanjankowski9016 im INTP. I was in a zoom with five others , all introverts, mostly introvert thinkers. I loved it. Im sad I'll probably never experience an all introvert group ever again. No one dominated. No one filled the silence. No one pushed another to speak. We showed patience and tolerance and respect. And we all contributed. Never would we all contrubute with an extrovert pushing and dominating.
INTJ is the mastermind as in the villain. Sherlock Holmes deciphers the mastermind like a puzzle using impartial information, clues, and motives. Totally different skills.
It's interesting comparing the different portrayals of the character over the years. Agreed, the Sherlock played by Cumberbatch is likely an INTP, but it's difficult to argue Conan Doyle's original as almost certainly INTJ. Moriarty in the books seems to be more of an INTP, but he wasn't given a lot of dedicated character development by Conan Doyle.
No. An INTP is not a sociopath. Not arrogant, not someone who will lie to accomplish his goals and has complete disregard for how his actions affect others. This character is a narcissist. Feeling superior--possibly inwardly an INTP may believe that he is smarter in some respects, but since INTPs are so often in their own heads, they often misstep and look stupid at the most basic things. Pushing a door instead of pulling it. Walking into something. Missing the most obvious things. Putting something back together and forgetting to include something, requiring starting over. This character may utilize the first three INTP functions, but Fe shows caring about others and how the INTP is perceived, which this character clearly does not. He will also go from being deep in thought to leaping into action--an ISTP trait. This character may exhibit some aspects of an INTP's cognitive functions, but as a whole, is nothing like a typical INTP. It's an effort to redefine the INTP as a sociopath the same way they do with monsters like Bill Gates and Elon Musk. After 65 years of living as an INTP I can tell you that we are nothing like this portrayal and such behavior and character are not only repulsive, but antithetical to our personality. And as to young INTPs exhibiting personality dysfunction such as ADD/ADHD/Aspergers, etc., that is a result of being pumped full of dozens of toxic vaccines in their earlier years. It's a wonder they make it into adulthood.
@@seanjankowski9016 You're kidding. You think my comment is offensive to people with these disorders? These are not badges of pride to make one feel unique. Did you read what I wrote? I'm taking pity on these poor victims who are suffering at the hands of the fraudulent and malicious medical establishment. These disorders did not exist 60 years ago. So as an INTP you should ask what changed between then and now? Things just don't happen for no reason.
Si does not only remember details and facts but also prefers to play a role in enabling the care for being appropriate in how they should express their ideas this detective lacks a lot in this area which makes him a child with an encyclopedia for a brain .si is also similar to ti in terms whether what they learn is true I might be wrong but whatever
@@kartickchandrasaha4119 a ISTP has intuition. They use their Se observations to narrow their theory’s down. While an Ne Si tends to jump to assumptions. They are more comfortable speculating.
You are correct. ISTP. My model is Jeremy Brett of the Granada series. If you watch these four seasons, aside from enjoying yourself to no end--you will know SH inside and out. His thinking is Ti all the way. He is quick to action and seeks perfection, and he will see things in the physical realm that others will not (Se). He doesn't slobber all over people, but you can see his concern for his clients (Fe4) and general lack of focus on himself. Also he never denigrates or humiliates LaStrade, regardless of what he might think of him, and will often kick himself for missing something. He calls Watson his friend and colleague. As an INTP, I often find myself gathering clues to solve mysteries, but I am much slower to conclusion, often doubting myself or changing my mind as new info comes in. And many of my clues come from other Se types who see what I don't at first. Also I would never engage in the bold and physical shenanigans SH did. I'm at home.
Ahh, the age old debate. Is he a P or a J. My question is, is this solely based on the show or the character as represented in the books? I’ve never watched the show.

Beautifully done! As an aside, I not only share being an INTP with Sherlock, I also share his birthday! January 6.

10:27 NGL, It'd be pretty cool if some writers made characters with personality types in mind.
Except for the sociopath parts, my mind function in similar ways, I test as INFP.

From what I understand the INTJ is the mastermind. I shall 😌 still watch because I love ❤ your videos

Amazing video describes him perfectly and his and my shared intpness
10:27 that's exactly what I have been thinking about which is why I understand the debates that happen when people are typing fictional characters.
20:48 Correct, there are even cases where the actor's actual type clashes greatly with the character's.
Most INTPs are of course not sociopaths.

The Original Sherlock is ENTP.
ISTP
hes istp
Let's try to discuss Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne/Batman personality, sounds interesting!

Amazing.
i was scared for the first half because there weren't any cog functions. the ti argument feels like fe inferior and not ti.
I thought he was istp
Other portrayals are. Certainly Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone. This one is just a sociopath.
No sherlock is always intp. A detective will perform great if he has intuition rather than sensor

My question is, is this solely based on the show or the character as represented in the books? I’ve never watched the show.
I appreciate the point that his Ti + Ne can be perceived as Te.
The show is good, doesn't come close to the books lol and the character is slightly different. He's almost certainly INTJ in the Conan Doyle books.
almost.
