INTX Adventures

INTP with INTJ tendencies. Also, Keirsey behavior model preferred...can’t mind read to determine cognitive functions.

Being an INTP = being in a perpetual state of low-level ADD (not the hyperactivity kind)

INTPs aren’t satisfied with their own work unless it’s perfect. However, they aren’t perfectionists because they understand that perfection is unobtainable, so...

MBTI: by NTs for NTs...because who the hell else can understand it?

INTJ: Argues with self, wins.

INTP: Argues with self, loses.

When an NT fails to process emotional baggage (which they can put off doing for a VERY long time), it goes someplace very bad, and jams up the system in a major way.

INTP x INTJ, Cleanliness

INTJ walks into INTP’s room

INTJ: Hey have you seen–

INTJ looks at the blankets and pillows lying everywhere, the socks hanging from the ceiling fan, the piles of books and notebooks littered across the floor, the puzzle of the globe which has been demolished

INTJ: Can you not clean your room

INTP: I just cleaned it yesterday!

INTJ walks away, eye twitching

NTs Solving Your Problems

INTJ: quietly kills your problem

INTP: systematically determines the problem is your fault but sends you cat memes to cheer you up

ENTP: systematically determines the problem is your fault and tells you as much

ENTJ: loudly kills your problem

[intx-adventures-blog]

Sounds about right.

Why NTs debate

ENTP: to troll you and/or they’re bored and/or they’re curious to see how you’ll react

INTP: They’re curious about your point of view and they want to gain knowledge

INTJ: to correct the possibly stupid thing they’ve read/heard

ENTJ: to convince you and/or others to do their binding

So true

What depression looks like for an INTP: being trapped inside your Mind Palace, and it’s haunted.

INTP Problems

When you’re trying to pick a major:

*sets mind on something for a year*

*sees a new major*

*decides to switch from astrophysics to linguistics*

[intx-adventures-blog]

Why I (finally) declared my major two years into my undergrad, and why I never went to graduate school—too undecided/interested in everything!

Halfway There

Being an INTP means getting all excited about your new project while simultaneously feeling slightly sad because you know in three days you’ll have lost all the passionate interest you’re currently feeling for it and you’ll be stuck with a half-finished job and zero motivation to do any work on it. 

[intx-adventures-blog]

Yep. Literally every project.

INTP: Happy Pi Day ESTP!

ESTP: Happy Pi Day! Do you know what they call a snake that’s 3.14 meters long?

INTP: A pi-thon

ESTP: wow you stole my joke *walks away shortly after*

INTP: what did I do wrong? Note to self: do not answer questions that could be jokes.
