#simon does intp

[pigepresident]

Thank you for answering my submission about what type you think I might be. I am looking up the functions of both INTP and ISTP. I’ve actually been wondering about those two, and I’m trying to figure whether I use Ne-Si, or Se-Ni. Most of what I’ve tried reading about ISTP says that they’re athletic, which I am not. I am far from athletic. However I remember you saying that they tend to take risk without really realizing it, and looking back I did some things that were kind of dangerous, just so I can get something done. So now I’m reading more about the functions, and I’m trying to find something that doesn’t do stereotypes, like saying that ISTPs have an athletic build while INTPs do not. 

Athleticism can be common with ISTPs because there tends to be an urge for adrenaline that exists among ISTPs, which is generally delivered by sports. My ISTP friend follows lifting blogs for the adrenaline.

Risk-taking and seeking adrenaline are pretty typical of ISTPs, but that doesn't necessarily manifest in athletics specifically.

I've got: #simon does mbti functions #simon does intp #simon does istp

Though as of late I've been doing a lot of typing posts.

readingontheroof, infj-mbti, and funkymbtifiction all have good descriptions of functions.

If you want, and if you have time, can any of you type me, because I am bored and I am never sure what I am?   

I like to analyze things, even if I don’t need to, especially if I am really interested. And I like to come up with different ideas, but if someone comes up with an idea, I’ll ponder it and either reject it if it doesn’t make sense to me, suspend judgement because I don’t have all the information, or sometimes accept it. Sometimes I do ponder ideas that I know seem illogical, and then discuss them with someone because it is fun. 

I like to research things that have caught my interest, and I tend to get obsessed. I also do like to make list categorizing something that interest, or I plan on making some lists and charts, but I forget to get it out of my head. 

Also, I am a people pleaser but I’m trying to get away from that. I find emotions to be overwhelming, and I really didn’t have a great experience with emotions, especially other people’s emotions, when I was growing up. I try to be polite and friendly to people but that gets hard for me because it tires me out. 

I am definitely not great with my own emotions, so I try not to make decisions based on them, and I generally have a hard time making decisions because of alexithymia. Unless the emotion is really strong and then I get impulsive. Usually I either have to base my decisions on logic or habit. If it isn’t that important to me then I use habit to decide it. 

Yeah. That’s about it. 

You sound like you're for sure a Ti-dom, and then either Se or Ne. I'd lean towards ISTP based on this description you've given me, but I wouldn't rule out INTP.

Has any of you watched inside out? if any of you have, could you type the emotions?

YES I saw this a few weeks ago and almost cried because I used the closed captioning accessibility devices and I actually understood what the people in the film were saying for the whole thing for the first time ever. It was nice.

But anyway… It’s probably going to be fairly stereotypical because they are literally base emotions. I apologize in advance.

Sorry it took so long! I just saw this a few hours ago.

If you're an INTP, and you wonder why people stereotype you as smelly... It's not your fault. It's because of Thomas Edison, who you share a type with.

Just blame Edison. Your life will get so much easier, albeit more bitter.

Do rationals tend to work badly with the same type compared to others? my closest friends are an entp, entj, intj and im an intp, we always talk about how hard it was to work with most others with the same type, my entp friend said she could get nothing done because she needed someone to ground her and the entj said whenever she met an entj with even a little conflict in morals, it would be awful for both. my intj friend just said everyone pisses him off so that might not be due to mbti.

Yes.

That's what I've noticed, at least. With INTJs and ENTJs, we generally aren't able to work through conflicting Fi, and if the other isn't willing to conform to what we want to do (Which, as a general rule, they do not), we can't work together. There needs to be more difference between NTJs -- Which is why I struggle to work with other INTJs, but I can work fine with Antoine. The flipping of our functions helps.

For INTPs and ENTPs, Ti and Fe will cause a problem. The Fe on the low end of the stack will mean they can't read the other (or don't care if they can), and it'll conflict with the logical end of the stack, especially if their logic systems don't match up.

Reaching one another can be difficult.

could you type sherlock holmes in the original story by arthur conan doyle? a friend of mine wants to know but ive never read the story.

It's been three years since I've read Sherlock Holmes.

But I would believe him to be an INTP.

(ENTJ(?) again, sorry if I'm bugging you) Yeah idk man I guess I'm an ENTJ. I have Te because I think using group collaboration and like to see the facts laid out. Honestly I'm not sure about the Si, maybe I do have Se, although if I do it would be very underdeveloped. I know I use Fi because I hate talking about feelings, and I'd rather ponder my feelings by myself. Thanks for the quick reply by the way :)

You're not bugging me.

None of these things that you've said really have indicatively pointed to any of the functions you've used, is my only thing.

Why do you like group collaboration?

No problem.
