INTP Stats
INTP realness
when you read articles about INTP “statistics” and they all make you sound like some Doctor Strange Sociopath it’s time to break the stats into realness.
Statistic #1: INTP’s may actually be better than average at detecting lies.
INTP Realness: This statistic comes from a study that found that the more NTP preferences you have, the better you are at spotting when someone is lying.
You can read the study HERE. People with more NTP preferences appear to spend more time looking inward instead of outward but that is a misconception. INTP and ENTP’s spend a larger than average amount of time taking in outside information and processing it internally. Not only are we aware of our environment we’re processing that environment and crunching it down to it’s most basic, elemental parts. So while we might “seem” disconnected we’re actually very connected. You could call us the “Ghost in the Shell”.
Statistic #2: INTP’s are only the 10th most likely type to develop heart disease and hypertension.
INTP Realness: There is no real scientific correlation between this stat and the MBTI. The only medically suggested reason behind this statistic was that INTP’s have an innate ability to compartmentalize every aspect of their lives and to be able to completely disengage with the world around them thereby keeping their stress levels relatively lower than other types. So basically that whole compartmentalization, emotionally disconnected thing that we do..keeps us pretty fuckin’ chill so we don’t stress out and die.
Statistic #3: In a survey of coping mechanisms used by the types, INTP’s are the 2nd least likely type to share their problems with someone close. They are also the least likely to rely on religious beliefs.
INTP Realness: This is a common misconception that INTP’s are not religious. INTP’s have a higher than average rate of agnosticism (16.2%) and atheism (11.1%). These numbers simply mean that we INTP’s are the second most likely to be agnostic (literally translates as “not knowing”) and the third most likely to be atheistic. HOWEVER 72.7% of us do believe in a higher spiritual power whether that comes in the form of traditional orthodoxy or a general spirituality. Take me for example I spent quite a few year on my spiritual journey searching for what my spiritual truth was. I did eventually find it and I am devoutly entrenched in my spiritual beliefs. Why wouldn’t I be when I spent decades learning, asking, questioning, searching, trying to find what I believed?
Statistic #4: INTP’s are the second most loyal customers. A study tracked how long the people of each MBTI type maintained a business relationship with an automobile dealership. It turns out that the average “COR” length for INTP’s was 13 years, by comparison the average customer relationship lasted only 5.7 years.
INTP Realness: I think this statistic is actually true but it’s not so much loyalty as it is laziness. Look when I bought my car last year I did TWO YEARS of research! TWO YEARS PEOPLE!!! I researched everything from consumer reports, to Federal Safety Tests, to gas mileage to insurance before I finally settled on the one car that I went with. I researched dealerships, met with car salesmen, and negotiated the price that I wanted. I’m not doing all that motherfuckin’ work AGAIN for another vehicle. So yeah we probably are seen as the most “loyal” but I’d say it’s actually that we’re just not moving again.
Statistic #5: INTP’s are the 3rd most argumentative type.
INTP Realness: Yes, I might even say we’re the 2nd most. We use debate to refine our thoughts, theories, plans, everything. What other people see as “argumentative” we see as “discovery”.
Statistic #6: INTP’s were found to score higher on a Rebelliousness factor derived from MMPI content scales, to score lower on a Phobic Symptoms scale, to be more likely to earn a diagnosis of combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder on DSM IIJ-R/1V Axis I, and to be labled “antisocial” and “avoidant” on AxisII.
INTP Realness: All right. I can’t argue this one, much as I’d like to, because I have personal experience with it. Not me but my dad is an INTP, same as me, and he’s a Vietnam Vet. So yeah the PTSD that’s a for real issue and due to the inherent nature of INTP’s I can see why we would be more susceptible to this than other types. I often hear people refer to INTP’s as Antisocial and Avoidant but we’re not avoiding society we’re simply picking and choosing which parts of it we enter and we allow to enter our sphere. We’re not “all inclusive” in the sense that just “anyone” can be allowed in. We have criteria for picking and choosing our friends. NO we don’t always know what that criteria is but it’s there none-the-less. We may allow more people into the outer circle of our friendship but only a VERY SELECT FEW are allowed in the inner circle. Sorry not sorry. For those not in the inner circle or one of it’s outer rings we’re not intolerant of you. We don’t even know you exist. We don’t actually care either. For INTP’s our care cup is never all the way full therefore we don’t possess the patience or the inclination to care about ALL THE THINGS or All the PEOPLE! We know that about ourselves that’s why we’re selective.
