You're Dead Right - Accurate INTP Descriptions

[Magajy]

Seen a thread for INTP descriptions that don't describe you. Now, which ones really and accurately decribe you?

If I may start:

1. " This attitude includes a tendency not to response or speak up in groups, because the INTP feels that what he or she was going to say seems so obvious that no one would want to hear it."

2. "If an INTP is pushed into doing something he will automatically resist."

3. "Hence, it is common to see INTPs dabbling at many things, achieving competency, just enough to prove to themselves that they could become more proficient if they wished, but rarely actually bothering to refine their skills further."


and you....?

In reality, the INTP is not actually even certain himself whether he really stands by what he is saying

INTPs are dreadful tellers of jokes (which seems to be more the domain of those with Se), perhaps because they pay too little attention to detail when speaking spontaneously. If you see someone smirking and laughing at some private thought, without any obvious reason, he's probably an INTP.
(this one gets me in class a lot too, i'll be sitting there in my game face acting all serious and then something the professor says that nobody else in the class thinks is funny will get me because my mind took it and immediately visualized it in some ridiculous way)

The INTP can fit into many different modes of behaviour, even contradictory ones, in order to get into the mindset of the other person.

However, where friendship develops rapidly, almost instantly, is when an INTP meets another INTP or similar temperament. Communication between such people can become extremely intense, leaving outsiders baffled. When two INTPs get togther, watch out! All forms of social graces and host-guest protocols become irrelevant. Both want only to share concepts and interests and absorb the intellectual stimulation of the other. Interruption of this process by any social necessity is undesired and annoying. Often the pair will become oblivious to everything around them and this may seem almost comical to an outsider.

INTPs are sensitive to whether they believe they will be listened to or not.

his Si function gives an overriding concern for the atmosphere or mood of the place.

At the same time, he may experience a certain fascination for the emotional world, but he is desperate to de-personalize any thoughts on that area. He is compelled to subject his emotions to continual analysis, the Ti core literally suppressing the Fe shadow, attacking Fe with accusations of irrationality. He resists letting his feelings go, fearing that to do so would be to relinquish control to an unknown force

He always chooses to listen to music which suits his current emotional state

Sexual feelings often clash with the INTPs desire to control and understand his universe. They also clash with the desire for detachment and keeping a distance

and that's all that I identify with from that profile. if i thought about it more, I'd probably strike them all though
