I Am Hopelessly Intp Stories of Experiences

It seems a lot of 'INTPs' here are possibly mistyped. There is a fair amount of over sensitive feeling, trying to hide behind the stereotypical INTP characteristics. I think some should re evaluate their type and retake the test.

INTPs are very feeling, but this is extroverted feeling, and is closely tied to introverted sensing. When people ask what I am feeling, it is normally clear they want introverted feelings based on extroverted sensing, baseless...

People call is lazy, slobs, heartless, annoying, quiet and a lot more without even knowing the reason. The reason is plain and simple, it is because we are INTP that we appear to you as whatever you may call us. I could care less if you...

At closing, the shelves remained well stocked. The library had a subjective lending policy. any vagabond was welcome to read, an itinerant's equality could be bought for the price of a cup of coffee. The lending policy, though, was...

I told my boss it was like I am operating my character from a mile up and back so I can see the forest but I have difficulty navigating the trees. I can see the forest but I can't convince anyone that they are going to hit a road block...

I am an INTP
1) Who has a job that they have worked for more than a year that they enjoy and what is it? And you might as well include why you like it.
2) Depression/ Isolation - any solutions besides meds specifically for INTP's?

Communication can be very frustrating for me. In my head i can come up with something amusing/witty to say but upon delivery, it falls short of expectation due to my non-expressive nature of verbal delivery. I also have trouble trying...

I remember when people interested me. When i found pleasure in being fascinated with conversations. When love was mystical and enchanting. I remember when i gained peace of mind when i read my book that james said was approved by him. I...

I have taken several versions of this test over 13 years and have scored INTP every time. The one that claimed to be Keirsey's official test gave me a percentile for each function: 97th %ile Introverted, 99th %ile iNtuitive, 91st %ile...

I rarely ever sleep, always over thinking, especially when i am going through an obsessive learning mode,
i know 2 other INTPs who also don't sleep much, just wondering if its another trait of ours haha

I wouldn't want to be anything but.  I love that I'm rare, and I love that I'm needed. I will admit that there are times when I've hidden just how lovely my INTP self is, but hey, if it makes a Feeler more comfortable...Just the same...

I, personally, am afraid of being annoying. This prevents me from saying or doing a lot of things. I am trying to overcome this by taking a few risks and gradually step out of my comfort zone. The problem is, though, I don't see much...

Didn't know anything about an intp till recently.. Such a relief to know I'm not alone in this.. I hate certain aspects of it, But overall I love it!!  Anyone who thinks differently has obviously lost a log in their logic...

Whenever I am having a bad day,or if something really bad happens,my best (and maybe only)friend is right there to help me.She always knows exactly what to do or say to make me feel better.I can not remember a time when I could not go...

They say that your core personality never changes. I remember when I was in high school, I took the meyers-brigg personality test for a class and got the results INTP. Now, as an adult with kids, I just recently took it again. INTP. So...

I love to solve problems, I thrive on it. Which works well for part of my job, the operations piece when we need to figure how to fix things that are not working right.
On the engineering side the fact that I am always looking for new...

I just realized there's a group for us goof-balls!  Not surprised there's so few of us though.  What are we, about 1-2% of the population?
Hope everybody is having a good day!

I am always chasing new ideas and mentally manipulating objects.  It's frigging awesome figuring out a new idea or learning something or making things better.   So much I want to learn and the list keeps growing. ...

I'm proud of being INTP, but I try not to show it.  I'm married to a Feeling type and it would hurt him if I got to excited about it, I think. 

I'm quiet.

I'm detached.

I have no feelings.

I think a lot.
