Any intps here?

intp.org/intprofile.html has a more vastly in depth analysis of INTP via the functions

yes I am here

I like MBTI even if it feels a bit like astrology, it's still fun.


I've been typed by a "practitioner" whatever that means, as INFP (who told me very somberly after a 90 min - 2 hour session that it seemed like every decision I made, even mundane shit like what to have for dinner, ended up being an ethical quandary and how tiring that must be) but I always felt like it seemed a little self-indulgent, since most descriptors of INFPs are fucking gushing over how great they are and I can't reconcile that with my self image. Some of your description of ISFJ honestly feels familiar as well, especially the focus on peoples intentions.

Socionics is closer to Jung's initial writings. MBTI is a dumbed down version of it.

ha classic

socionics is unscientifical

intj master race

What are people's thoughts on the Enneagram test?

That's because the big problems with INFPs are their disdain for socialising in groups, their constant moralising, how atrocious they are at practical tasks, and how they are TERRIBLE at accurately evaluating people. INFPs are very much guided by ideas, so if they have an idea that a certain person is good, they might completely miss the situations where that person was not good. Inversely, if they have an idea that a person is bad, they might take an ambigous situation as evidence of the person being bad, even though the person is actually good. They don't base themselves on observation.
That being said, their flaws mostly only affect themselves, and that's why the descriptions always gush over them. In truth, they are quite unfriendly, and people often confuse them for ISFPs. The difference is ISFPs are more friendly, but they are conformist, manipulative, and love intrigue.

Some other differences are that INFPs are focussed on truth and reason, whereas ISFJs are focussed on everyone getting along. INFPs empathise with a person to understand their feelings, and cannot understand another person's feelings if they have never experienced the same or something similar, whereas ISFJs sympathise with the person, and don't have those limitations. When arguing, INFPs prefer a style of logic that is clear and can freely use hypotheses that are not necessarily true to prove a point, whereas ISFJs will often dismiss using hypotheses that aren't necessarily true, judging that as an impractical use of reason. There is also the whole thing where ISFJs are very good at observations, and INFPs can't notice anything at all.

I hope this helped.


Socionics has a description of my type that I cannot agree with. In fact, none of their types accurately portray the ISTJ.


Too vague. Use MBTI instead.

Oh, and a big difference between all the types that end with J and the types that end with P is that the former is capable of making snap decisions, but the latter is completely incapable of making snap decisions, and has to think about every single decision they make.

You should also look into the cognitive functions in MBTI if you want to get more into it. They help you to understand the types better.
