The tests are accurate to a point because they're based on the information you gave them on who you think you are. For example they don't measure if you're optimistic or pessimistic. So being an O INTP or N intp would be a completely different person. Likewise they test whether you're a thinker more or a feeler more. but these are not opposites you can be a thinker and a feeler. So you could change the test to say are you a thinker or a believer. So you could test whether you're a person that thinks things through or person that just believes what you're told. Or a feeler or a stoic. Meaning either you are unconnected with your emotions will you hide them. The point is there's lots of things I could have tested you on these just happened to be the four

Noooo...tests are not inaccurate they're (MBTI tests) invalid from the outset as they use non Jungian definitions of functions & utilise the false dichotomies. I test as an INTJ in MBTI & did so on the official step II test yet I've been typed by CPT as a divergent TiNi ENFJ which is by far more accurate. I'm afraid no test will give you an answer irrespective of how honest you think you're answering the questions. I advise you seek a typology service like CPT.

I personally grew from being an unhealthy INTP to a (moderately?) healthy ENTP and if not, just an ambiverted INTP. I almost told myself to stay with the average stereotype of INTPs until I realised that I've been isolating myself from others to cope with my already lonely state. However, I finally took time to actually reflect on myself for the past year, and realised how I needed to express myself and really socially interact with others since I was deprived of talking to others about my interests and personal thoughts. I tried my best to set up a positive mindset and talk to others, eventually flexing my Ne function to keep conversations going. That time I was an unhealthy ENTP, mostly pissing people off and making them tick (I'm pretty sure I was unconsciously coping with my negative state and distracting myself). I tried to keep working on myself after that and developed my Fe, growing to be more considerate of other people's feelings and careful with what I say. Now, ticking people off doesn't make me entertained, but understanding/considering other individual's opinions and discussing topics does. I'm more interested in others' perspectives and comparing it to my own, and that makes it even more fun for me rather than debating and proving someone wrong. I'm really glad I put in actual effort to improve myself as a person and I do believe people shouldn't hardly stick themselves to their mbti stereotype without growing to be a better person.

Carl Jungs theories were to provide a framework for people to understand their weaknesses and work on them Myers-Briggs and her mother developed their Myers-Briggs Type Instrument as a way to make understanding Jung's theories easier for non psychologists again with the intent that people can use them as means to improve themselves not to simply hang a label on them and say "Oh I'm XYZ thats why I cant do that".

Signs that you are *not* an INTP. Sign 1. -Your primary mode is reactive. -Your thoughts require an external outlet. -Your natural state is engaged with an external medium. Sign 2. -Vivid internal frame-working is more optional than compulsive. -Your thought relies more on general principle than precise analysis. -You prefer to present the established facts absent any theoretical elaboration. Sign 3. -Your logic is more attached than detached. -Your thought is seldom removed from self-concept. -You experience little curiosity for mechanisms, systems, and logical puzzles. Sign 4. -You happily focus on one potential at the expense of another. -You struggle to judge multiple perspectives alongside each other. Sign 5. -You feel secure in your consistent social attunement. -You have little in the way of ‘social bi-polarity’. -Extraverted feeling is extensive of your dormant state. Sign 6. (Se blindspot) -You easily feel the raw intensity of ‘the moment’. -You can lose yourself in tangible experience with no thought to consequence. -You struggle to anticipate the logical sequence of events.

@Bobby McBobface I’m sure. My son is ENTP and his Fe seems different. He has more control over it and can use it to “make things happen”- and does! He also can kind of run people over with it if they get in the way of his Fe plans. Like if he’s trying to get a group of his friends together to go camping he’ll be like, “Mom, you’re gonna drive me and my friends to this place that’s 5 hours away tomorrow” without asking if I’m free or willing. Yet he can also use it wisely and create truly amazing moments for others. But he has more choice and refinement. The INTP using his Fe is like a little 3 year old and the dining table, using his best manners that he recently learned. So sincerely beaming with pride and the ability to contribute to this moment between people. Or, in stress, scared that he’s in trouble and everyone is going to shun him. My ENTP son, on the other hand, if he thought people were upset with him, would probably be like, “ Oh well, no big deal, I’ll go make some more friends tomorrow”.

The mention of playing a game within a video game best describes how I enjoy video games (and I do love video games). I come to find that many of my friends do not enjoy games the same way as I do. There is a certain sense of joy that I get from, say, optimizing a mechanic within a game or discovering interesting ways to accomplish different tasks. That being said, many games go unfinished when their mechanics become too easily mastered in which I can simulate exactly how every encounter will occur throughout the rest of the game. Makes it uninteresting when I can determine the outcome, in favor of myself, with too much certainty.

If the theory is accurate, then his assertions would hold true. What is scary about that? It just means that that logical framework is kind of sound & fits the reality. When you say that you can predict lot of things by knowing just 4 letters, that's absolutely ridiculous. You are not considering your own biases & the pretenses in the behavior exhibited by the person. It would be right next to impossible to "type" someone by mere observation. You can get a rough idea but to trust your assessment is a pitfall. He is the only guy who makes any sense to me in the MBTI circles because he goes in depth & isn't on surface like most other youtubers. His theories seem cogent & sound. Most other youtubers rely heavily on the generalizations & that's how we know that they are inaccurate.

This was a great one. Really helped me understand myself, even after ~2yrs of personality study. I'd say there was only 1 that made me consider, so I'll take that as a positive sign I am INDEED an INTP! I've sometimes felt that I'm a ENTP or something else (INTJ?) because I read books by INTPs that describe their internal process as being slow, or online INTPs talking about "missing jokes" that are going by in social situations, and I've never felt that way. But you basically mentioned those traits by name (by summary?) which I found very interesting. I've never struggled to pick up on or identify social cues, etc. Only to fully understand. I mainly struggle to be OK with them and know how to cope, reciprocate, and understand social emotions the way others seem to be expecting. I relate to historical INTPs being called empathic like Lincoln, but I never know what do DO with that info. It mostly just makes me feel bad. Plus I've almost never been left out of a joke when it comes to understanding, but I only find about 50% of jokes I hear to be actually funny, especially outside of a basic grin in recognizing an attempt was made.

I had a tough time following this video; the pacing of going from one abstract concept to the next quickly had me glazing over and I had to drop trying as hard to understand what was being said just to try and match that pace and not be entirely left behind. The quickly shown visual aids and abbreviations were more of a distraction than an aid as they were only related, but not of immediate reference. The body language felt forced, like "I know I should be moving, activating sub-routine left hand circular motion for 5 cycles" In the end all I'm left with is wondering what personally type you identify with and what parts of your understanding of INTP aren't through process of elimination as is one of MBTI's major weaknesses. I can't help but think you might have different index that would probably put MBTI to shame, but it's currently too high level so you're attempting to fit it into MBTI's shoes to help explain it... I really don't know though, but wanted to share in case it could be helpful. Also sorry if this comes across somewhat toxic, I struggle with giving compliments direct. Typically if I'm trying to give throughout criticism it's because I liked something in general. ^^;

The part about being more playful and expressive in social media than I am in person hits home for me. People whom I've chatted with online quite a bit are rather surprised to find that I'm rather different in person. I recently met a person who does KZitem videos and Facebook groups about collecting Star Wars and other action figure lines. We'd been chatting on those platforms for a couple of years, so when we met at a convention and had lunch together, I think that he was surprised at how quiet I was and that he had to ask me a lot of questions to get me to talk about collecting. The lunch meeting was much more awkward for me in person than it had been to chat with him on Facebook and KZitem. Enjoyable, but very awkward.

The funny thing is that when you mentioned Ti focusing on more "detached" logic, and more prone to taking a more objective viewpoint, I immediately paused the video and thought about the implications of what that meant and whether I was an INTP based on whether I intiuitively knew the principles upon which my points and frameworks are based upon. In studying the differences between Ti logic and Fi logic from a very analytical and impersonal angle, I may have ironically showcased INTP behaviour :P It's important to point out that although i've done a lot of reading up and so far, the INTP personality type describes my internal thinking process and who I am best (for a period of time, I was even convinced I had to be an INTP), i'm still very unsure about whether I'm really an INTP, especially due to a fair few inconsistencies that i'm trying to resolve. At the very least, i'm at least somewhat certain that if i'm not an INTP, i'm likely to be an INTJ or INFP, or maybe even an INFJ, although I consider the INFJ probability fairly unlikely. With regards to this, I do have a question though: You mentioned about how Ti dominants need to consciously dip into their internal feelings in order to access them. In that case, would it be right to say that Fi dominants intiuitively know what their base values and principles are, while Ti dominants, although they have values and principles (they are human beings after all), don't consciously have access to the connection between their logic and principles? If that is the case, being Ti dominants, they would have to use the lens of analytical thinking to analytically determine the connection between their framework and internal principles, thus requiring a conscious effort. In that sense, Fi logic would be intiuitively aware of the principles and values that their logical argument is based upon, while Ti logic would not be so sure as they are not unconsciously certain of how the two are connected (which is also linked to the point on Ti logic being more detached), and thus a Ti dominant would have to consciously put in effort to determine such a link? (I apologise if this is nonsense, i'm just trying to determine what exactly the difference is between Ti and Fi, and the implications of not having conscious access to principles driving various frameworks).

In a way, yes, for we really question our base values and principles, as we are never sure we have not made a mistake. We never say: "we are who we are," rather we ask: "Now who we are in the light of the newet acquiret information?" I hope it explains something.

@@kairemeriniit I can somewhat see where you're coming from, in that I also tend to reassess my internal framework and endlessly question whether a certain approach or value is the "right" way to do something or the "right" thing (of course, the question of what is "right" and "wrong" is another matter entirely). However, what you've said seems slightly vague. Naturally, anyone will question their base principles in light of new information. It's not like any one personality type has a monopoly on introspection and reassessing, and although we might be able to reason that certain personality types have a greater propensity to question their base values than others, it seems rather inaccurate to say that this would be a distinguishing factor for any one personality type. In other words, the line seems a lot blurrier than reassessment vs acceptance, and generalising this behaviour in such a black and white manner seems rather strange. In addition to that vagueness, it seems that introspection upon hearing new information is more emergent behaviour from the cognitive functions, rather than a description of the cognitive functions themselves. Thus, describing the way Ti and Fi operate via means of such emergent behaviour leaves room for question. From my understanding of the introverted functions, upon hearing new information, Ti assesses how that new information fits within a preconstructed mental framework, Fi assesses how that information lines up with the individual's values and principles, Ni looks at the data and attempts to synthesise a deeper level insight as to what that data means, while Si simply compares that information to past experiences to see how it matches up. In light of this, employment of any of the four introverted functions could be described as "now who are we in light of this new information?", just that each introverted function does that assessment in a different way. As such, my guess as to what "now who are we in light of this new information?" is really meant to say that a Ti-dominant who believes that the new information is indeed valid would reassess their mental framework to see how that new information fits in with their current framework used to describe themselves, thus manifesting in the emergent behaviour of "questioning values and principles" as well as "who are we in light of the new information?". Once again, i'm still trying to brush up on my knowledge on the jungian functions, and I apologise if what i've said isn't quite accurate (maybe introspection is indeed the key domain of Ti, and thus a display of it directly reflects a Ti user?).

@@huaen8880 Might be able to help. Not hugely studied on types, but I think I have an essay that may work. I'm an INTP, so I likely cannot properly envision what an FI dominant Ti dip would look like, but we can start with how I conceptualize Ti-Fi myself. For me I have values, or ethics, that I hold dear. I follow the adage "The unexamined life is not worth living" quite closely and follow something akin to Stoicism. Many of the guidelines I follow were ones created by myself before finding belief structures that either justified or helped to expand or solidify my own internal structures. I like to think I have a fairly well-developed Fi, and I consider it to be a very valuable tool for "truth-seeking." That is I "gut check" quite often, however the difference for me is that I don't attribute it to being as proof, rather it's simply an indicator of direction. The easiest example I can give for this is a scene from the 2004 movie "I, Robot." Sunny is running down a hallway towards a Macguffin that will kill the rogue AI, VIKI. VIKI tries to win over Sunny by stating that her logic is undeniable, that humanity's freedom must be curtailed, they have to be overthrown in order for the Three Laws (ultimate human safety) to be successfully fulfilled. Sunny's response is something akin to "I understand your logic, but it feels cold." I've had discussions with friends where I could not argue against the logic they were providing for me about some topic. I'd normally tell them I'd have to think about it. Sometimes I would come back and state that while I cannot argue against their logic I also cannot accept it because it feels wrong. They'd like to point out that means I was being irrational to which I'd agree they are likely correct but that I could not accept what they're saying, at least not yet. Of course this is before I became well versed in circular logic, manipulation of axioms in a priori arguments and the like, so in many cases I was likely right in my estimation. However, I also realize that my gut feelings are quite often wrong. They are a guide towards valuable questions, they are not answers in and of themselves. Where my Fi is proven wrong are places where refactoring is needed in order to re-orientate my internal structures. To simplify, I do not simply accept logically sound arguments because they are logically sound; instead they must fit with the rest of my cognitive map of reality. An holistic worldview is paramount; cognitive dissonance and inconsistencies are antithetical to who I am and are a natural outcome of unexamined encapsulated thought. I've mellowed somewhat on this as I've grown older, however having an accurate and as objective as possible understanding of the world is still a key driving motivator for me. For an Fi with Ti dip, an inversion might be accurate. Someone who generally uses their own feelings to determine what to do or where to go. They're likely driven by expanding or experiencing their own personal feelings and generally may use arguments or logic to guide what they do without being bound by them. This might mean that they will try and rationalize actions often and may not be able to logically explain what they feel even if they have some internal coherent concept. They may use logic or thinking to try and "find themselves," or they may use concepts to identify themselves with. Honestly it's really hard for me to write what an Fi-dominant person may be like without it coming out as sounding selfish. The most extreme example of this process (and therefore possibly the most archetypal) I can think of would be Kanye West (rapping about the 300 Romans), or Russell Brand. They use these loose understandings to try and explain themselves. They can come off as stupid, but they have the capacity of showing deep understanding if you sort of read through the words they attempt to use. There's some pretty valid and accurate thought there, but it's predominantly non-verbal and likely to be simply understood by them, internally.

@@huaen8880 A short metaphor just occurred to me that may help. Ti with Fi dip is like a thousand piece puzzle with about 1/4 of the pieces placed. You're trying to put together the puzzle to make a coherent picture, Fi is when you examine the piece against the picture on the box to figure out its orientation or placement. Fi with Ti dip is like a good concert. You're there for the experience and a good time but Ti is what is used to try and memorize the event or explain why it's so good. Not a lot of thought went into this metaphor, so use at your own peril.

The most powerful INTPs, in my opinion, are those who have obsessed about a subject, pushing them to mastery... I know an INTP who has never pushed anything in his life (53yo). He knows a lot of things and is very smart, but he has no mastery of anything. I know another one who had 2 phases in his life (50yo) in which he obsessed over 2 things, and he became extremely good in those 2 things. I personally think it is a waste, when an INTP does not reach mastery in anything in his whole life. They are so smart. It like wasting your most precious talent.

First video I'm watching on this channel. This was really good, except the "bonus" point. It's a minor thing, but INTPs live in the "then" but also the "possible futures". By perceiving what's likely to happen, we cover the inability to really perceive what's actually happening all around, instead just picking up enough information to filter down the possibles/probables to the most accurate and appropriate one. This is easily tripped up if we're in a particularly new situation where there's insufficient prior experience to draw from in order to extrapolate likely scenarios, which does unfortunately limit our exposure to gathering a wealth of experiences as we avoid situations where there's too much likelihood for bad things, if we're with people we sufficiently trust, that's overcome, otherwise we remain in our safe spaces. Gotta love those catch-22s.

I find myself at a bit of a crossroads. Some of the points apply to me and some don't. The later pints I mostly can't relate to. Which is to say, my experience aligns itself pretty comfortably with the INTP experience. However, some of the earlier points are a bit more ambiguous. On the topic of introversion, my internal monologue has a tendency to spiral into places I don't want it to go, so I tend to suppress it by always focusing it on something specific. I dread having no stimulation whatsoever and in such events I usually choose something to focus on mentally. Could be related to ADHD, but I'm not sure if this makes me a Cognitive Introvert or Extrovert. I certainly don't relish dwelling on my internal monologue. As for abstract thought and the interest in systems, I do have a strong attachment to philosophical ideas. My mind goes there wether I want it or not, so I have made it an interest. As for other systems, waters are somewhat more murky. I have absolutely no interest in programming or anything of the sort, nor any other "practical" systems. I do take interest in videogame mechanics, but I prefer analysing them or the level design rather than engaging with them directly. There's also the topic of emotions. My own, in particular. I do struggle with putting labels on them, but I do feel them intensely and I can seldom scape from the most intense. I do have a tendency to suppress or not notice the extent of certain emotions, but I usually know they are there. I'm aware of my emotional blockade, which is partly the cause of my processing everything through logic first rather than emotion, so my ability to feel things in nuanced detail is pretty hampered and underused. I had a talk with my therapist recently in which I was told to "shut the logic machine off and just process the feelings by feeling them". It's a work in progress. In any case, I'm very aware of my emotional and internal live, and I analyse it in depth. I'm not sure if this is because I have decided to hyperfocus on it or if it indicates something or other about my functions. This is everything I could think of regarding conflicts with the points presented in the video, but I'm sure there's more. I've been having doubts for a while, but I struggle to know if it's due to my nature of never accepting anything as definite or a legitimate wrongness with the notion of being an INTP. I find myself not really conforming to the stereotypes very much at all, and though I know it's a silly metric, it does give me some pause. In case this makes any sense and anyone bothered to read this much, I'd like to ask if anyone could provide other types who are often mistyped as INTPs and the reasons for doing so. Maybe I'll find something enlightening to my experience. Thanks :)

to develop further on Harry's suggestion, while some of your first paragraphs resonate with my experience, the "I'm very aware of my emotional and internal live, and I analyse it in depth" part would make you a surprisingly developed ENTP, if you were one, though of course that's an option. if "analysing it in depth" does not require from you an intense effort and constant need to refocus, while your brain tries to seduce you into "thinking about something else" to avoid the agony of having to deal with this, doesn't sound like your conventional ENTP. at least for me is much much preferrrd to process my emotions via external stimulus (using music to modulate them, or "letting go" via emotional movies) than really dwelling into them and analyzing them. or, more often, entirely forgetting about them (pretty useful when it comes to anger).

@@mygoogleacount You do have a point there. I feel like I'm both aware and at the same time pretty disconnect from my emotional state. I have constant emotional reactions to things, as humans are wont to do, and I make a habit of trying to determine where that reaction came from. Sometimes the answer is quite nasty, but I prefer that to not knowing. It takes a toll on me and I don't immediately know all the answers. It's a grueling process that I nonetheless undergo. This is a very mental process, however, and really letting go emotionally is a very different task. It's usually quite difficult for me to let go, and as you mentioned, music or movies tend to work like a charm. I'm an actor, so I especially feel this emotional unavailability within myself, particularly when it interferes with my work. I wouldn't say my mind tries to distract me with other things to focus on, but It's clearly not used to that avenue of thinking and it stumbles slowly forward as best it can. When it's about something major, though, or something I find myself returning to time and time again, be it fear or affection, I find myself spiralling out of control to the point where I have to stop myself sometimes, if the emotion is too negative, for fear that it will affect me too greatly. So I end up being both slow on the uptake emotionally and kind of playing a game of telephone with my emotions and at the same time obsessive to the point of distress. Thanks so much for answering, by the way, I really appreciate the help

@@michi4066 Circling and getting to places you do not want to be - that sounds very INTP to me. In a way our mind uses the same patterns someone else discribed above, and as such, our minds like computers can crash and run on the undesired directions. As of the systems - I think none has time and thought capacity to deticate to everything, even if we want to. And if you watched this video vloselt, then you noticed strong feelings ar not something out of INTP league. Unemotional INTP is just a myth, and would suit rather with some other type... ENTP ? Because of those feelings we can't shut the machine down, because we know others have them too. I think it is one of the roads to "INTP dark side", because that would just mask the everticking processor instead of shutting it truly down. It would just mask it with the layer of your feelings and tht, I am afraid, would ruin your Fe function.

The thing about Fe to me as an INTP is that I can't help but have this reoccurring sense that it often opposes logic. The collective conscientious seems for whatever reason to reject logical analysis even when most comprised of logical individuals. This in turn causes me to be very weary of popular ideas and institutions in general.

The lens dominant places dominant emphasis upon novel experience, whereas the codec dominant places dominant emphasis upon ongoing rational conclusion. Lens dominants tend to be more codec-fluid (e.g. Te and Fe within an ENFP), whereas codec dominants tend to be more lens-fluid (Si and Ni such as in this case). I'll likely dedicate a video to this in the future!

It allows me to quickly deflect things as a joke if I've said something that unintentionally offended someone. This mitigates the social backlash.

Based on observing the ENTPs in my life - it really comes down to whether you enjoy seeing other people offended or if you feel bad for it. ENTPs have a strong tendency to provoke people deliberately like an intellectual game, and reliesh in the backlash. INTPs don't tend to like to rock the boat and take backlash very hard.

I’ve been an INTP for about 4 years now? or so i thought, i’m currently doubting that because i find myself drawn towards philosophy and psychology and nothing other than that. I’m also very imaginative, i think a lot about the future and the what if’s or possibilities but i tend to let the past guide me, so i’ve been questioning whether i’m a future or a past oriented person. INTPs are known for being logical and all that but in my case, i’m very biased. I come up with “logical” excuses to support my argument even sometimes knowing i’m wrong, that also goes same with friends. I, myself is a very chaotic person in general. I change my mind a lot but i’m not really into the concept of risking my life or decisions for a new experience, I prefer planning my day but i’d be lying if i say i don’t slack off and just do whatever feels right to me. Sorry for any grammatical errors, English is not my first language 😀 Now the question is, am i an INTP? i personally feel like i’m more of an ISFP but i’m not very adventurous nor artistic i still have zero common sense about cognitive functions, i will try researching more about it.

Great video Harry, I’m very happy to see some more INTP content! After having being typed as one, I always thought INTPs identity were more fluid due to the social situation, while an INFPs would be more rigid. I’m not the most aware of this identity at all times, but my habits and behaviours differ depending on who I’m with. Would this be due to Fe?

And here we are folks, about a week ago I began my (yet another) journy of MBTI self discovery, after a relatively long time of settling for being just an introverted ENTP, your video about the signs you are not an INTJ, made me question my identity once more, and what a journey this was. From the (apparently) classic game of "am I INTJ or ENTP?", to the no less fun of the "Am I actually INFJ?" game, I even somehow ended up an ENTJ for like an hour or two (no clue how that happened), the only thing that remained certain was that I am an xNxx type... Sike, of course I wasn't sure about the intuitive part, ISTP, ESTP, ISTJ, hell, I even entertained ESFP for a moment, and guess where it all brought me? Back here, honestly, it kind of pissess me off, how the "obvious" answer is (probably) the right one. To leave a little tip to other people who struggle with this the same way I did, ask yourself why you are really trying to find your type, for me what started all of this, was that I resonated with the INTJs constand desire for self-discovery, and expansion of the "self", it's how I justified to myself this, admittedly, borderline obsessive search of conclusion, but now watching this video I realize this was an excuse, in reality I just had this insaciable scratch at the back of my head, and I just needed to justify "wasting" time scratching it. On that note, will you be making a "Subtypes" video for INTPs? I can more or less guess based on other Subtypes videos, but still would like to have a video like that.

9:17 as a programmer - I sort of liken the Ne to a heuristic search like a pathfinding algorithm or a Monte Carlo tree search. It's basically like seeing all the possibllilities all at once and evaluating them and saying 'ok - this path here - that's the most likely one.'. Although that heuristic weighting adjusts the more new information I have on the subject, so it's constantly being updated and reevaluated every time the subject comes up. It's weird how accurately I can predict the future based on probabilities and past trends and yet, much like Cassandra of myth, seeing the future does me little good if no one believes me.

Ok, to be honest, the video confused me a bit. I've been having trouble defining myself as an INFP vs INTP for a few years now. It comes out differently in tests, but you know how tests are. That's why I started to study functions in depth and I'm closer to INTP, with a fairly highly developed Fe - I'm 27. Also, I have very high Ne (I have 38735 ideas and thoughts all the time, which is tiring sometimes) and Si - I relate my life to past so often, in my bad days I can stuck so hard to it. However, the biggest problem for me to identify myself is my enneagram - 4w5. I know that it is often found in XXFX types. Also the fact that I am not and never have been strictly drawn to science, I even considered it a necessary evil, I hate maths and it seems boring to me. BUT I love science, all astronomy topics are just great and really interests me. On the other hand, I am an "artistic soul", I especially like writing. I have my own values, but who doesn't...? And I consider myself quite an emotional, loyal, warm person, when faced with hard decisions I don't always manage to keep such cold, objective thinking. It is also important for me to 'find myself', my desires, the answers to who I really am. Does this mean that I am not an INTP? Or am I just an exceptional INTP? Or am I an INFP after all? If so, empathy is hard for me, I generally don't like people (only my closest ones) and I could live my whole life on a desert island. But I'm a good listener, who like to think about problems in way to giving some solutions rather than emotional support. I have my own opinions and values, but I am not guided by morality, in fact such a thought pattern is abstract and ridiculous to me, because everything seems to be relative, I never make a division into "good" and "evil", I'm quite rebellious in this aspect and sceptical about most of things. Often facts are more important to me than my feelings, but again - not always. I like to allow for many possibilities and relate them, link them to each other, to what I have experienced and what seems possible. Help, haha, maybe I'm even the other type than INTP/INFP...
