Yes, I was never afraid of driving; I think I have impulsive tendencies and might be a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Getting my permit at 15 was very exciting. I wasn't automatically good, but it...
step #1: do not let this bother you. It won't change by the time we die. Accept that people in our lifetime will judge women more harshly and that will not change. step #2: do not let this bother...
pretty sure I'm a 5w6 sx/sp
oh man... can't find keys, keys in pocket. can't find glasses, glasses on head. last week I bought a bike lock, this week the bike lock fell off because I didn't attach it correctly. I once put...
I lived through it, it was hell. Psychological torture, I'm still damaged; I tried to fit in with them. But at least you know about INTP, that peace of mind would have saved me loads of torment. Just...
My mom is amazing, I adore her. Not sure my enthusiasm came out in my post, but that's because there aren't words large enough to describe her. I never lacked for anything growing up, she was...
most definitely! my mom is ENFP and she was very different from all my friends' moms growing up. She is the definition of social butterfly and seemed most proud when I was out being social (the very...
For me a lot of it had to do with being sx dominant, I have always desired connection even though INTP seeks detachment. So when non-annoying people talk to me I automatically lock in and want to...
Yes, exactly. I can still get along with them because I am not awkward and my social skills are supreme, but I don't enjoy being around them anymore. I'm really hard on myself because there's...
I am (was?) the exact same. People don't know me because I hide everything about myself. I used to try to fit in because of my family environment, became so good at the chameleon act I was convinced...
If I believe something to be wrong or questionable, I question it. I have an extremely strong sense of justice, and I refuse to be trampled over or taken advantage of. It simply won't happen, my...
Character traits of the female INTP? We're just like the men, I would presume, but maybe we're harder to spot because we're better at being elusive. I don't look like a nerd, never have, I can...
Nah, I was brainwashed by my feeler family. As a baby I was forced to socialize, held by every family member while crying like a siren. Auntie # 8: I don't think she likes me. ENFP mother: Just...
Sometimes it feels like I don't exist...
Read the INTP profile again and again; you'll know you're INTP if you really study the cognitive functions and the descriptions for the type. The first time I learned of it was by reading the Paul...
Yes, I take it you're in college. This is how I felt the first two years, it was incredibly depressing (I was pretty much miserable) and then I turned my life around and stopped trying to fit in....
I think an INTP would typically know if another was INTP, especially if they were in love with them. It's possible an INTP female would date a jock; jock does not necessarily = stupid. I'm sure...

Yep, I feel this way right now in fact. I regret my high school years, like you I slacked off and became a 'rebel', but I wasted that time socializing when I should have been learning. If I had been...
I can relate. I'll be 22 in a few months and everything you wrote summarizes my life pretty perfectly. I started out majoring in psychology, then switched to international relations for a few years,...
Thank you, for recognizing the horror of the state of Texas. I'm pretty sure it's the reason I've been miserable my entire life, why it's nearly impossible to find intelligent friends, why my...
You're not, I'm the same way. I have to detach from my emotions before I can feel them. I rationalize everything and when I feel bad about something I have to go online and research it, seriously I...
Knowing that there are other lonely INTP's out there cheers me up way more than it should.
And ESTJ's are my favorite SJ. We sometimes clash, god yes, I think ENTP + ESTJ clash much more, but at least you guys have strong logic with the dominant Te. It's the SFJ's that I have to watch out...
Yes, growing up in the south has been hell, now I'm in college and it's still hell. The only difference is that in college I can prove to people I'm smart by telling them my GPA. Before they know...
People have backed off on hugging me from experience. Hugging me is just... awkward. I can play fake nice, I can smile, laugh, crack jokes, so they think I'm a warm person. But then they give me a...
I am an amazing chameleon, if you saw me you wouldn't think INTP. Actually, you wouldn't see me at all, I am that good. But yeah, have only met one in real life. Saw her for 3 days as my...
It may be easier for you to not see this divide because as an INTP you try to see the world in an objective fashion. The majority definitely does not, and sensors are the majority so they believe...
Differences: I can't speak for all INTP females, obviously, but as a female I am not as confident in being an intellectual as I would be had I been born male. I'm trying to get over this insecurity,...
Women have a harder time of it in life, and no this is not an individual case by case study, this is in general. Yes, some women have great lives and are happy and some men have terrible lives and...
We are a terribly boring generation. I was just thinking of this today walking around campus... where's the excitement? the passion? What happened to college? We all heard the stories of how great it...
INTP women definitely get forced into behaving more feminine. That's obvious. Have you looked at the thread It would suck to be an INTP female? It's 34 pages last time I checked. It does suck,...
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. Mark Twain There's only a difference when you think you're better than others. Well, maybe you are, I think some people are better than...
I'm probably more awesome. But I do like her quote.
Snap. You're a seasoned poster and I rarely sign on here, that must mean I am guilty. Or maybe we're just awesome? It happens sometimes.
I am awesome. I just figured this out, so I'm still walking alone after many years of depression. If I had awesome friends I would be set for life I think. But I have no idea how to find these...
When it's like your life is moving in slow motion yet everyone else is speeding along the highway.
meh, in Texas INTPs are not considered smart. The other INTP (a male) I met was convinced he was dumb, I was convinced of that two years ago. It's sad, intelligence is really not respected here....
Heh, pretty sure they're champs at washing babies and finding the remote control. Now teaching the babies to enjoy reading, on the other hand.... not sure they'll ever manage that.
I'm from Texas and have hung out with retarded people my whole life (huge extraverted family). My intellect suffered but I take pride in the fact that I am nice to everyone, unless I have a good...
No, I really don't think so. Maybe if I had spent my life around intellectual people, but I haven't. Quite the opposite. If the guy isn't an intellectual I'm not turned on sexually, it's quite...
That not everyone need a college degree to be taken seriously, it ruins education for the people that deserve to be there.
Of course, we have talked about this before and you know how I feel... just wanted to let everyone know INTP females aren't this bitchy and blunt, I promise!
I'm not the devil, I thanked that because I think more women need to speak out about this. My family members that were raped do not talk about it. People need to know that it happens more often...
It'll be hard to tell if they fit in or not though. When I see a group of people together I automatically assume they fit in... I guess I'll keep an eye out for people that seem like me though...
My school has like 10 libraries. Fml.
What if I don't look like a nerd? And have never hung out with nerds before? How do I become nerdier? Should I only wear big t-shirts? This semester I am determined to make NT friends. Are NT...
ESFJ women are my enemies. I have worked with them when they were my superiors. They have all hated me and I them, okay only 2 in particular were nasty to me. But they were in charge of my work and...'
