The Types in College

ENTP: overall a good student but they go out every Friday night to drink away their pain and get wasted – regrets it each week but will not stop until they feel like their life is going somewhere, never takes anyone’s advice

ESTP: they don’t look as dead inside but they’re the deadest inside, probably only passing their math classes because they make their friend tutor them once in a while, they act stupid but they really arent tho

ENFP: Asks all their friends to teach them things because they feel like asking the teachers will make them look bad, most likely to openly have a mental breakdown during class every other week, will get far in life if they stopped procrastinating

ESFP: They were getting ready for this since freshman year of highschool. They were preparing themselves. They truly, honestly were. But somewhere along the way, they lost it. What did they lose? yes.

ENTJ: mastered the superiority complex face four years ago and somehow they just keep improving it, gets through their classes easily, thinks college is chill (actually not haha psyche that’s what they want you to think)

ENFJ: Started to consider dropping out of college back in high school, probably more interested in the fine arts classes, lowkey scares everyone but they dont realise it and they get genuinely surprised when people tell them that they’re kinda scary

ESFJ: They used to be one of the top students in high school but they became a little better than mediocre in college due to stress stress stress, really self conscious, poor thing pls show them warmth in this cold cruel world

ESTJ: Often seen as the leaders during those dreadful, wrenched group projects and their group almost always gets the highest score. Wants to become a dictator but those weren’t the options

INTP: They treat college like highschool, but like a really hardcore highschool. Sure, they can get the studying done easily and (somehow) get pretty good grades but everything else is like climbing Mt. Everest. “Okay but how do you expect me to go out there and–and BUY things?? Why did they think leaving me alone was a good idea. I’m so malnourished”

INTJ: mental breakdowns every other day that last like ten minutes, sits in the front of the classroom, sort of a teacher’s pet but not in the obnoxious way yknow man they just wanna get through life successfully

ISFP: Average by day, dreamer by night. They’re doing fine so far but whenever they have free time, they plan on how to escape from civilisation and build a cabin in the middle of the woods in Alaskan wilderness. Stress free and hey! no diploma necessary

ISTJ: they sit in the middle of the classroom and aren’t really seen studying (ever) but somehow pass with a grade that’s better than half of the class, they’ll go days without shopping and binge shop whenever they do

ISTP: Only raises their hand whenever they come up with a smartass comment to piss off the teachers but the teachers cant get rid of them because other than that they’re [ISTP] actually good students, goes on backpacking trips during free weekends to get away from everyone

INFP: Probably failed their first year because they really, genuinely, had no idea what the shit they were doing, needs to be reminded of what to do next all the time, intelligent but lazy

INFJ: The really approachable one who probably wants to be a biology teacher and everyone loves them as a student teacher. Reeaallly popular but not in a bad way and they probably have sparkles trailing behind them wherever they go

ISFJ: Nobody knows who they are, never raises their hand during class, always tired even though they get more sleep than the average college student, puts in the most effort and gets along fine but not socially

Listening

I’ve noticed something about us INTPs, and that is that we hate to listen to other people. Oh, I don’t mean in a conversation, but I do mean that we don’t like people telling us what to do, and that can get us into trouble.

The thing is, we have very intelligent brains. We know lots of stuff. We enjoy gathering information, and we usually have pretty sharp memories and long retention spans, so we think we are just IT. We’ve arrived.

Because of this, when it comes to “real” life, we struggle with listening to the advice of people who know what they’re talking about. Like parents.

See, having a lot of theoretical knowledge is good, but it is not the same thing as having a lot of experience, which we INTPs are usually somewhat deficient in. So, when we do stuff, we like to figure it out ourselves, but sometimes someone will see that we’re doing it wrong and want to help, and we just about bite their heads off because we enjoy doing things our own way.

And, yes, people should be courteous and understand that this is our learning style. But for goodness’ sake, guys! We need to be courteous, too. We must never expect everyone to understand that we prefer the trial and error method. Most people would rather just have to do something once so that they can get it done, and so when someone is giving you advice, they’re probably in this mindset. Yes, maybe they should try to realize that you want to understand how a thing works, so you don’t mind doing it wrong a few times. But that is never an excuse for brushing off well-meaning and kindly given advice.

Maybe it’s okay to take the advice of others now and then. It can help us to be more self-controlled, if nothing else.

Notes for me

[metamemory]

MBTI Quiz: How accurately can you type based on facial features?

We’ve all heard the classic adage claiming that “the eyes are the window to the soul”. Well, if that’s true - and I suspect that there is some merit to this notion - then how can this be applied to MBTI theory? Can it be done in the first place, and can it be done with any sort of accuracy? How reliable is it? Are we already better at typing just by using our eyes than we even know? Well, let’s find out!

INSTRUCTIONS

Just for fun, I decided to develop this very unscientific little quiz for you guys to test your skills on. The instructions are as follows:

1. There are sixteen pictures below. Each picture is of somebody with a different MBTI type. The order in which they have been posted is random.

2. Scroll down the list of pictures. Take as much or a little time as you need to decide.

3. Make sure to record your answers somewhere as you scroll. 

4. When you are finished looking at the pictures, you can send your response back to me in one of two ways:

a) Send them to me in PM, and I will respond to tell you which ones, and how many, you got correct; or

b) Reblog this whole post with your answers in the same order as the pictures I posted, and I will inbox you to tell you which ones, and how many, you got correct.

Here is a way to test your non-verbal, instinct-based, purely visual typing skills. Good luck!

Calvin and Hobbes were Reformation-era philosophers, as was Frances Bacon. I’m better his daughter’s name is actually Frances, but he calls her by the appropriate last name of the philosopher, just as Calvin and Hobbes are last names.

I’m an INTP 5w4 and I’m an auditory learner.

[slaughteredbyti889-blog]

SAME! I know we're not the same person because of it, because that'd just be a dumb conclusion to make, but it's always so exciting to encounter people who think like I do and learn like I do and...not sure what Enneagrams are yet tbh, but yeah, INTP 5w4 auditory

[etrogim-deactivated20200109]

wait….are any americans aware that the cia overthrew the democratically-elected premier of iran in 1953 because he wouldn’t concede to western oil demands….and how that coup was the reason for the shah’s return to power, the iranian revolution, and the resulting fundamentalist dictatorship…..like, america literally dissolved iranian democracy and no one knows about it???

[jheselbraum]

No. No we don’t know about it. 

Americans aren’t told this shit. 

The only thing we’re taught about any Middle Eastern country in school is that 1) the region exists 2) it’s where The War is happening and 3) Muslim people live there. That’s it. Maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get into the Hammurabi Code and some early Babylonian stuff but American schools seem to think that if it happened outside Europe and before the colonial period, or makes America look bad and isn’t about A Very Watered Down Version of What Slavery Was, it’s not important.

Info on this is almost notoriously hard to find. It’s not in any texts on American and Russian involvement in the Middle East during the Cold War that I can find. You have to specifically look for a book about the Shah’s return to power, and even then you’d be hard pressed to find a book like that at your local bookstore. Once you get into some higher level college courses you might know about it, but the people who can afford those are more likely to already be indoctrinated into a certain Way of Thinking (read: they’re racist as shit) by the time they get there. And it’s almost like you have to know about it beforehand if you want to find information on it.

The only reason I knew about it is because there’s a thirty second summary of the event in Persepolis. Those thirty seconds flipped my entire worldview.

[fempunkandkittens]

“All the Shah’s Men” by Stephen Kinzer is a good, accessible text for people who want to know more about this.

[rebelcaptain4life]

!!!

[systlin]

I had to explain literally this to one of my co-workers, who is so fuckin racist against Middle Eastern people it’s insane.

She’s 60. She never heard of this.

As I was explaining this and how, during the Regan years, we funded Osama Bin Laden to fight against Russia, leading to the destruction of much of the infrastructure in the region, one of the plant workers came in to get his badge fixed.

He works in the quality control lab. He served 15 years active duty in the Army. Super smart guy, has a masters in chemistry and another masters in biology, raises saltwater fish in his spare time for sale, has the saltwater aquarium setup of the gods.  Raises rare corals too, some of which he donates to be used in re-seeding reefs around the world, but that’s a side tangent.

And he listened for a minute, then nodded and said “Yeah. I was there during that. I helped train people to fight. They wanted us to help them build schools and hospitals, after, but we were only interested in them as cannon fodder. Left the whole area in ruins. I wasn’t surprised when they hated us for it later. Told people then it would happen. We let them know then that they were only valuable to America as expendable bodies. Why wouldn’t they resent us for that?”

And she just looked floored.

“So…” She started, after a few minutes. “What do you think of Trump?”

“I hate him. He’s a coward and he’s going to get good people killed.” He didn’t even blink. “

She looked back and forth between us for a second, and then asked how I knew all this.

“I research things.” I said. “Google is great.” He nodded enthusiastically.

And she just sat there for a second and then said, really quietly, “I didn’t know.”

She lived through it.

American schools don’t teach you any of this sort of thing.

[lady-feral]

I can absolutely confirm. Public school education in South Carolina did not teach the realities of colonialism. It sure as hell didn’t teach us about racism. I had an AP Us History teacher named Ms. Outlaw. I was doing badly in school because of survivor stuff and trans stuff (in the 90’s in South fucking Carolina!!!!) and I was really feeling isolated. Being any stripe of queer just wasn’t spoken of, but I heard it was actually talked about in History of Minority Groups, so I signed up for the ELECTIVE class. The same woman that in my AP US History class framed the civil war as entirely economic and claimed that the sole purpose of the emancipation proclamation was to weaken the southern economy and thus help the north win the war–which TOTALLY WASN’T ABOUT SLAVERY–looked me dead in the fucking eye while acknowledging in the history of minority groups class that the civil war was, indeed, specifically about slavery. I was the only white kid in that class. That was my senior year of high-school and the internet was still not what it is today, so my awakening to the realities of white supremacy was slow and jerky, but it really started that day. Other things happened growing up that clued me in, but it wasn’t until the exact same teacher represented two diametrically opposed views of American history while making pointed eye contact with me that I picked up on what was obvious to every black student in that class.

Furthermore during my stint on a special forces ODA and in all the training leading up to it I learned all about SF’s history as being an instrument specifically for Cold-War era proxy warfare. That was our specific task before the war in Afghanistan and Iraq: to train indigenous people to fight our enemies in our stead, KNOWING that they would be abandoned once we were done with them, just like the Degar people (who we still call the Montagnards) in Vietnam. Most Americans don’t know about them in spite of a resettlement effort taken on by many Vietnam era special forces personnel to have them relocated to the united states (primarily in North Carolina).

Tldr; Americans are taught a very propagandistic version of history that focuses on “American exceptionalism” to the exclusion of major world events–especially ones that make us look bad.

[and-the-times-we-had]

Surprisingly I actually learned a decent amount about this in my AP world history class. Not details, but I’m pretty sure I new about the US overthrowing the Iranian government in pursuit of oil. Though, it’s possible that I saw it on TV or heard it from my parents. In any case I knew about it before I left high school.

When I Don't Stop My Ne From Blurting Things Out | INTP Interactions #23

INFP: I have a riddle for you guys!

INFP: What’s black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

INTP: *Ne shoots up so high that it might explode* RED LIPSTICK!!

INFP: What…?

INTP: Hear me out.

INTP: When you go buy it, the thing the lipstick container thing is black. When you use it, you open the black thing and put the red lipstick on. When it runs out, the inside of the container is gray and you throw it away.

INFP: That’s not the answer. The answer is coal…

INTP: But I’m not wrong… I just made up a different right answer!

[slaughteredbyti889-blog]

And everyone tells me, "No." and I'm like, "You wonder why I never talk."

[slaughteredbyti889-blog]

Whose Line is it Anyway?

Definitely an introverted thing I do, maybe an INTP thing I do-other INTPs can comment (as always. :) ), but, whenever I'm out to coffee with someone or something like that, I make myself shush so that the person I'm with starts the conversation-kinda takes the pressure off me to think of something, and it gives me a clue about where they're at. Also, (true to INTP form) I read something last night on the internet about how make a statement is better for conversation than questions because then the person you're talking to has the subconcious awareness that you're not technically requiring a response-they can choose--seems kinda manipulative to me, mwahahahaha--although truthfully, it seems to be more like how people's brains work, and I believe in building a good rapport-so there's that. I'm trying to learn to bridge type thinking differences, and I just appreciate, being an INTP cat, other humans are more like cats about conversation than I thought-approach it from the side, make an offering, let them approach you if they want. Bizzare!

[infjxintp]

INTP starts a lot of sentences with, “I was reading somewhere on the internet-”

[slaughteredbyti889-blog]

The angelic side of an INTP: They will give you 1001 solutions to your problem without charging anything, let you copy their homework, listen to your rants and unnervedly give (weird and complicated, but somehow applicable) advice, donate small amounts of money here and there if they know that the donation will make a change and not fill some CEO´s piggy bank, bail you out of unjustified trouble with logical arguments, will convince their friends that 3D sucks - which is true - so everyone saves money and can therefore eat more popcorn, make surprisingly good music suggestions at your party, will show you useful key combinations

The devilish side of an INTP: They will ruin your birthday party by correctly guessing your still wrapped presents, your cat will constantly visit them because cats like the mysterious aura of INTPs and their messy housing style, they will carve out pumpkins masterfully, read dubious literature and use it against others, display a weird perverted glance when opening the fridge, can correctly name the protagonist of a series they´ve never seen, freak out cleanly ESFJs, try to cook something and set the kitchen on fire, IGNORE YOUR TEXTS!!, interrupt people as they speak, wear glasses better than you (guess what the majority of us is shortsighted... how peculiar), seem to treat others like air unless it´s a teacher or superior, and walk around with red eyes because they pulled an all-nighter for the third time this week

Not So Special?

So, I see a lot of self-loathing from INTPs, which honestly has me laughing a little bit. Okay, I’m heartless. Live with it.

But it is hard for me to fathom how anyone can actually feel like they honestly contribute nothing to the world, especially if you’re an INTP. It has nothing to do with pride, and everything to do with being honest with yourself.

What do INTPs contribute to the people around them? Well, for starters, there’s a fresh viewpoint. We have trouble realizing just how differently our minds work from the minds of other people, and that’s probably because we live with our minds so long. Familiarity breeds contempt, and all that sort of thing. But we have amazing minds, and it never amazes me how what seems like a simple thought to me blows the minds of the people around me.

Do you guys actually realize how amazing of a gift that is? Do you realize how many people would love to be able to work hard and struggle to get what comes so naturally to us?

Also, in a world full of feelings and emotions and plain old drama, I think INTPs can maintain a marvelous sense of humour. It’s not easy to do, and it might drive some people up a nutty wall, but considering how rare a real sense of humour is nowadays, I feel like we should be thankful for that.

Then, also, we have our nostalgia function, good old tertiary Si, that somehow keeps us grounded even though we’re so impractical. There’s something inside of me that keeps me linked to the real world in the back of my head. I always know what I’m supposed to do and can usually get it done, if only at the last minute. And yet, do you know how many people CAN’T keep that at the back of their heads? To me, it’s a second thought; to others, it’s their whole lives. I can’t even begin to explain how happy and blessed and outright amazed I am that my brain works this way.

Yet we allow ourselves to be consumed by self-loathing.

That is not okay! Feeling sorry for yourself is not cool. Being angsty and emo is not healthy.

My dear INTPs, we have no reason not to be the happiest people on Earth. 

[intplady]

Is it just me who absolutely DESPISES when someone thinks we're like the best of friends even though they know absolutely NOTHING about me e.g the fact that 97% of the stuff they talk about it contentless waffle which I hate, so we're def not besties

Perhaps it’s just you. I don’t really despise things, most of the time. I can’t answer for other INTPs.

I’d say, though, that being really touchy about this is probably not the best way to handle it. Rather, consider the fact that the other person is, perhaps, expressing himself in the way he best knows how. If you’re a good friend, maybe you can help him bring some worthwhile content into his conversation, but if you shut these people down, then you can’t do anything for them at all.

Besides, you might have a lot to learn from these people, too. Contentless waffle is actually quite revealing, despite the fact that it feels like your brain is being dragged down to plebian depths. Seriously, all that jabber is actually telling you a lot about that person, if you’ll just listen. 

Don’t despise others. Don’t despise anyone. It’s not helping you, and it’s really not affecting the other person as much as you might think.

Also remember that other people probably think the deep and interesting conversation of an INTP is actually dry and boring. They really do, sometimes, incredible as that may seem.

[harrypotterhousequotes]

HUFFLEPUFF:

“Some show love rarely and mostly in small quiet gestures; sharing an umbrella in the rain, leaving you the last slice of their pizza, throwing their arm around you when you are afraid. love does not have to be flamboyant or loud to be present.”

[intplady]

Careless Friendship

There must be a lot of reasons for someone being an indifferent friend. For someone making you do all the contacting in a friendship. For someone ignoring you, giving you monosyllabic answers to your sincere questions.

For giving you up after you thought you’d be friends forever.

And it makes you wonder what you did wrong, doesn’t it? Even the most sensible of us all aren’t impervious to the pain that comes from knowing we aren’t good enough in someone else’s mind. What hurts even more is that the person probably doesn’t even realize what he or she is doing to us, and rather than being malicious, is simply being careless.

After all, it’s one thing to inspire a deep-seated hatred in someone’s heart, but it’s a different matter entirely to inspire nothing at all. Hate me or love me, but don’t ignore me, is how most of us probably feel. 

For an INTP like me, someone who holds loyalty as one of the greatest virtues (which is one reason why I enter a close friendship infrequently and cautiously), such an indifference makes little sense. I dislike things out of which I can’t draw a morsel of meaning. Why fall away from a friendship? What has changed you?

I ask these questions and feel that there might be a few answers. Perhaps the person found a better friend than I. Perhaps the person found something about me that was undesirable in a friend. Perhaps the person has changed to such a great degree that he or she can no longer find enjoyment in a friend like me.

In that case, why not communicate to me such a change? Why simply lapse into silence?

I know that not everyone holds logic in such high regard as I, but is that any reason for the cruelty of coolness? Even shutting me out with terse, clipped answers might be better than the half-hearted attempts to answer and pretend that we still have a friendship that simply doesn’t exist any more.

My readers may detect a note of personal pain in this post, and I assure you, you are not imagining it. I think that there are a lot of INTPs who can understand the difficulty of a fizzled-out friendship. After all, we make few close friends and can ill afford to lose even one.

But I know that were my friend to renew her old warmth with me, I would gladly accept her. What kind of a friend would I be without forgiveness?
