*High five*

I find it staggering the number of people who are INTP. It's one of the rarest, and it's in the lead. I've long gotten used to being the only INTP in the room, so amazed there are so many others.

Maybe INTPs prefer forums instead of talking to people in real life

Seriously, I bet that's true. And I think I've heard the most common result for people who take this online is INTJ. INTs probably are more likely to care enough about these things to take the test in the first place. If you stopped people on the street and offered them enough money to take it you'd have way more E's, S's, and F's, and they'd all look at this post and say that I'm overanalyzing it.

I have to say taking this test has helped me to understand myself so much better. I didn't know about this "16 personalities" thing before so I've definitely had some uncertainty about my personality in the past. But now it's all starting to make sense.

Like I posted earlier, I got INTP and reading the description about that type is so accurate. I realised I might have some kind of mental limitations but who doesn't? I smiled when I read "Loathe Rules and Guidelines, Absent- and Open-Minded". Yeah well I can sometimes see that

There doesn't seem to be lots of INTP musicians but quite a lot INFPs (Cobain, Lennon, Curtis, Morrison, etc.). I found some INTPs though: Lou Reed, Matt Bellamy, Neil Peart and Jonny Greenwood (could be INFP).

E. Hmm weird. I tried another site and this time I got INFP (F was only 6% though) from 64 questions. Reading about INFP type I can see similar qualities with me but I still think I'm more INTP.

To be quite honest, I think it depends of my mood. I don't even know if I'm really extravert or introvert. Apparently, it says I'm extravert but I do enjoy being alone sometimes, too.

I might be a bit of both.

"INTJ"
According to this, I irradiate "self confidence". Wot? I actually criticise myself a hella fucking lot that my friends say that's so much it feels sick. Other than that, yeah, I'm "cynical" -- also known as an annoying twat who's never truly happy with the results of what I do.

I've "studied" MBTI and Jungian Cognitive Functions a lot recently and realised that online MBTI tests like 16personalities are inaccurate and full of stereotypes. Almost comparable to horoscope. If you got some results you shoyld highly question if it's accurate. BUT it can be accurate, I've got it right since I first tested.

MBTI is based on Jungian Cognitive Functions and I believe there might be some scientific truth in his theories. Forget the letters and focus on your functions instead (they can be found from google/wikipedia).

Like I said earlier, my MBTI type is INTP and I'm 99.9% sure that's correct. But when you look into your type's details you should completely forget MBTI and start reading about Jungian theory. They are linked together, every MBTI type fits the Jungian theory, but while MBTI concentrates on stereotypes, Jungian theory analyses your natural behaviour which can't be changed, as far as I know.

Every type has its own function order. Here's mine (INTP):

1. Introverted Thinking (Ti)

This is our first and strongest function. Because it's introverted and also strongest function, we tend to think A LOT, constantly brainstorming. Different ideas, thoughts, so much weird shit. Our mind is constantly buzzing and looking for new stuff. Because so much is happening inside our heads we are often very distant and absent-minded to other people.

In INTP's head everything has to make logical sense. One of the downsides is that we are "cold". Because our thinking is logical instead of emotional we don't really care if we upset someone by saying the truth (well, we do care but we just tend to think that truth is more important). Every argument we have is just an argument though, we never take it personally and we actually try to learn something new from the facts we hear and maybe even change our opinion later.

2. Extroverted Intuition (Ne)

This is our secondary function which also supports Ti. It's a bit hard to explain. It's basically seeking possibilities, thinking "what if?", unconsciously looking patterns everywhere. And because it supports Thinking we can be often very creative.

3. Introverted Sensing (Si)

This is our 2nd weakest function. Basically, we aren't very practical people. We tend to like theories, daydreaming and that kind stuff. However, we sometimes use it to compare current data with past experiences which might help our thinking.

I'm not quite sure if this is related to sensing (or lack of it) but INTPs also see different rules and laws as recommendations and prefer to use their owm judgement and morals when it comes to things that might be illegal. Some might even say that INTPs find satisfaction when breaking rules.

4. Extroverted Feeling (Fe)

This is INTP's worst function. Shortly, we aren't emotionally very good with people.



From what I've read all of those functions "grow" as we get older. Even INTPs can become sort of "feelers" at some point.

You can find more information from internet if you want. I feel like I still don't have enough information and my English isn't good enough to explain it any better

E: I just read that rule breaking comes from combination of Ti and Ne. Ne makes us question things and Ti allows us to confirm that we were right (or wrong) when we questioned them.

Judging by your posts and music, I'd have predicted an introvert for yourself? Or am I way off?

Are you more dreamy, like to plan things and imagine stuff or do you actually prefer doing things? ENFP's main function is Extroverted Intuition (Ne) while ESFP uses Extroverted Sensing (Se) as his main function.

I use Ne a lot. So much that I actually think I might be ENTP instead of INTP. However, it's hard to imagine myself as an extrovert although ENTPs and ENFPs (who both have Ne as their main function) are considered to be the "most introverted extroverts" because Ne isn't "social".

Sorry for weird terms. I've read too much about this stuff on my free time

Oh and you can tell if you're introvert or extrovert by how you "recharge". Do you get more energy when you're with people or do you recharge when you're alone?

I'm INFJ - an Advocate personality .....sounds about right

I'm an INFP apparently.

A very popular personality type in these forums, I see
