Adopt an INTP (@numberoneintjfangirl’s post)
Tagged by @flamingintj. Figured it would make more sense to put it on this blog. Thanks, and sorry it’s been like, eternity!
Skills/Attributes: Can offer an infinite amount of solutions to any of your problems (most of them nonsensical because I like humour, but there’s bound to be a few good ones in there), master of the art of exaggeration and logical fallacies for general fun (beware: may become annoying, even to the INTP), extreme curiosity that can be applied to just about anything, adept at making references nobody gets, often applies knowledge of physics, psychology and other sciences to everyday life, enthusiastic about explaining how any concept or theory works, all you have to do is ask!
Requirements: Someone who knows how to stay on their side of the fence, someone who doesn’t try to spend too much time with me, someone who doesn’t try to dig into emotional aspects when I am reluctant. Someone open-minded, able to have fun with my Ti - Ne antics, able to directly tell me if there is an interpersonal problem, instead of dropping hints. Someone who is able to add to swift train of thought, ultimately turning it into a collective train between the two of us. Someone who can understand what that thing that I just said actually means. Someone who is not bothered by the phrases “it’s whatever”, “like, you seem upset”, “you need to sit down”, etc..
Likes: Conversations that go from one thing to the next until the topic is so far gone that nobody remembers what happened, coming up with cool “what if” situations that could, in theory, be loosely explained by science. Fighting / arguing for fun (note: INTP will probably use entirely unfair tactics and claim that it is you who is in the wrong, somehow). Sweaters. Sharing personal, artistic projects with you; learning more about your projects, and analysing them. Hearing the ideas and theories that you have; will probably build off of them with you, as well.
Disclaimer: Might ignore your text messages. Will probably stare at you, very intensely. Will focus too much on listening and understanding what it is that you are saying, that the INTP will forget to come up with something to say in return, and ultimately, just keep staring at you. May forget to react to anything you say even though the INTP is reacting in their mind, and will come off as unresponsive; the embodiment of radio silence, if it could be a facial expression. May accidentally go overboard in trolling and making your life harder than it needs to be (sorry!); do tell the INTP that this is happening so they can stop (they may not be aware of your irritation). May want physical attention/expression, but will never tell you.
My life goal: To talk shit and not get hit. (But to also have the adopter know that I am really just a silly child who is mischievous because I honestly just need a hug and some hot chocolate.) To be satisfied/content with life.
Seeking: Someone who can spend time with me without always having to interact with me (i.e. warmly coexisting in the same space / room, doing separate things, but reconvening every so often, then going back to our own devices). Someone who can and will match my outrageous jokes and friendly, witty attacks on you with an equal amount of outrageousness. Someone who can go from silly and ridiculous to serious and meaningful, just the same. Ultimately, someone who makes me actively want to spend time with them.
