I really appreciate the interview styles you are having with all the types. They are great real life examples.
Overall this one was well done. I can relate to much of what she said, although there was way more emphasis on hygiene that I expected. The daily routine of brushing teeth and showering is not a challenge in the least for me. I find self care such as making doctors appointments for routine checkups and teeth cleaning more challenging.
Where this discussion seemed to fall short was on personal interactions. She mentioned challenges with the church environment, but that wasn’t really unpacked. I presume because she hadn’t figured it out yet. This is unfortunate because this is where I, and I presume most INTPs, are challenged the most. I’d really like to hear from a more seasoned INTP on how they overcome the challenges of making long term connections with others where Ti/Ne dominated conversations are not the root of the relationship.
Good episode. As an INTP with abstract (IT + EN) thinking as my go to driver relating to the world that uses practically no abstract thinking has been the biggest issue. Difficult and lonely as a teen but not depressing as abstract thinking can make anything seem ok, a cosmic joke. I kept thinking My day will come. And it did meeting a wonderful ENFP and having a very rewarding medical career. Using IT to help people. I direct all my EF to my spouse and she loves every second of it.
I would tell my 15yo self: go to the school dance and don’t F’ing care so much. Whew! that touches my EF a little bit. Better end it there.
I have taken the Myers Briggs test several times and always come up as INTP. I am female, 55, married almost 35 years (poor guy) and have 3 grown children. I related to some of what Kristen said. I feel like I can clearly communicate with men versus women and it is very frustrating. I would rather be able to enjoy more female relationships to share my hobbies with or just have friendships. I attempted retail management and although I found the work rewarding the connection to employees, especially female, felt fake if I tried to mirror their feelings in my mind and attempt a solution to a problem, it felt like an AI trying to formulate an emotion. I have even researched social disorders feeling that I must lack emotion, in particular empathy, to some extent or at least to the full amount that my female and male acquaintances feel. I really do appreciate people who can effectively communicate. I work in a print shop now and also design materials for print and love running the machines but now must find another path as the shop will close soon. I have watched and learned from my children who are very interested in the personal growth process and wish I would have found out about it earlier and am very happy they did.
Okay so as an INFJ who of course also uses Ti and Fe – I have to share how resonant a lot of the talk around these judging functions was to me – even as a feeler! The considerable time I spent in my loop growing up has led to also finding ways to process my emotions. When you said that sometimes you watch a sad move just to get yourself to cry when you know you’re tying to process something – yes! I have even extended this to my kids when I can see they’re suppressing emotions, and it can be a great outlet. Fabulous advice in this one, thank you for being so open and vulnerable – and good luck being a SAHM ❤️. It’s a ride and not an easy one – I’ve been there – But I admire the value in it and wish you the best!
Lol, this dude is totally INTP.
Reminds me of my ex. Very decent man, very INTP as well.
At least she was totally trying to understand the dynamics of feelings and emotions management.
I’m always mesmerized at the different personalities and cognitive functions.
My INTP ex used to struggle a lot with being assertive and saying NO unless he was upset.
Good episode.
