What is your opinion on poetry?

As an INTP, I don't really care much for it except for particular pieces that sound pleasing

intp (distant) vs. intj (cold)

My phone decided only INFJ was responding so here’s part 2 for the last ask ffs.

Why INTJs are referred to as cold and INTPs as distant. 

INTP INxPs live inside their heads more than any other introvert. And it makes so much sense since Ne is the least extroverted of all E functions. Extroverted intuition is all about ideas and theories rather than concrete objects of the outside world. The result is that they come across as if they were elsewhere very consistently. 

INTJ On the other hand, we have auxiliary Te here. Extraverted thinking is in fact very concerned about the outside world; as long as the INTJ is collecting observable data from the world for posterior analysis, they won’t look distracted at all, but I guess it is to some degree evident that they are using all these elements (human behaviour included) as objective facts. If that doesn’t come across as cold, I don’t know what will.  (Sorry for the splitted answer and thanks for the cool question @intp-moments. I’d love to read the thoughts of other INTxs about this).  – INTJ

The Qualms of Having an Si Function

I hate that I always dwell on the past. I can never truly get over something. Sure, I can detach myself from it and not give a fuck but at the end of the day I don't forget about it. If you hurt me emotionally, I'm going to keep thinking about it years later, even when I try to just let it go. I can never truly let things go, and this is the real qualm of having an Si function.

Guess my type: I have a lot of things in my head but can never find the right words to explain, I hate crowded places but I love concert, also I'm sure aliens do exist somewhere in this super wide univers

This is very INTP. I hope to be right this time? – INTJPS. Totally feel you about hating crowds but enjoying concerts.

Guess my type :) I gravitate toward the STEM subjects, particularly math, biology, physics, and programming. I also have an artsy side as well that is expressed through acting and singing. Often I find myself contemplating the meaning of life. I'm smart (or at least I am told this) but also very absent minded and random. I experience many mood swings. I go from dark and melancholy to cheerful quickly. I am very liberal, but some of my ideas that make sense to me are unconventional to society.

INTJ: You’re an INTP, wanna join my collection? :D

INTPs I’ve Met (by an INFJ)

What I noticed and observed about them: 

They are super quiet at first but still have this approachable aura because they look harmless. 

They tend to be pushed and dragged around by others because they are just that easy to “boss around”--not because they are weak; but because they are flexible enough to be around most types of people. 

They are good company--even if they’re naturally quiet, they always have something interesting and random to say.

They have such good humor if you’re the open-minded type. But even if you’re not open-minded, there is still something to laugh about them. They’re just that funny. And silly.

They are actually very touchy-- they tend to tap and pat people. And do other touchy-feely things that you wouldn’t really expect (from them).   

They are gentlemen. Even the girls are. They know their manners and that’s what makes them charming. 

When they’re quiet--it doesn’t mean they necessarily feel out of place or that they’re overthinking about something deep. They’re most likely thinking about something simple, (which isn’t simple to them), such as the last TV show they watched or a new piece of information that they had just recently discovered. 

They can stay home the whole day and be okay--as long as they’re doing something stimulating; such as reading, playing video games, and using electronic devices. They’re fine being alone. 

There are times when they are the most monotonous people ever. But when they’re comfortable around you, they become the most animated people ever--randomly saying movie line phrases aloud or even suddenly sharing their feelings. Yes, they have feelings. Although their feelings don’t usually revolve around real people--they get emotional when it comes to fictional characters though. 

They don’t seem very into relationships...they’re independent people. 

They get drained by big crowds, strangers, and just people in general--real easily. Which is why they always bring a set of earphones. 

If they’re effortlessly smart--even without being organized--that’s a common trait of an INTP. The ones I’ve met aren’t necessarily the ones who receive super high grades, but they are very informational about all kinds of things. Probably ‘cause they read a lot. 

Well, what do you guys think? :) Agree or disagree?
