It’s a pity TPs got short-changed in the pocast. You’ll find that you inadvertantly under-priotised these TP types who were then shuttled out the door because the store had to close. I will make a short comment that I hope will provide some insights. As an INTP there’s no question that my self-esteem is based primarily on two things – my creativity and my intellect. My creativity (Ne) is highly developed and part of my professional skillset as an advertising creative. My intellect (Ti) ditto. My experience as an INTP is is that this is not recognised as much by others as it is by me. Yes, people think of me as highly intelligent. Yes, people think of me as very creative. However my self esteem in these areas is higher than the assessment others have had of me in these areas. People have never recognised just how smart I am. For INTPs I encourage them to go get that external recognition. I have now completed my PhD and suddenly others are recognising what I knew all along – that I’m in a different intellectual league. Suddenly, it’s apparent to all that my attitude is not merely hubris – there is substance to my confidence in my intellect and creativity. This has always been an obstacle with me socially – a feeling that the tribe does not value or recognise the core strengths of my being, and my weakness in Fe has been unable to convey my value to the group effectively. As WB Yeats put it: the best lack all conviction while the worst of full of passionate intensity. This kind of thing makes INTPs feel like their talent and intelligence arr actually a hindrance, not an advantage. They are being hired and fired by Te types who do not have the same intellectual or imaginative powers. I think for INTPs this just leads to resentment, increased isolation, feelings of failure and a tendency to become bitter and sarcastic, to sabotage relationships with the world, and ultimately to flounder. I encourage INTPs to go get that credential that balances their relationship with the external world. Give the world proof. They will find it easier to get respect for that Ti an Ne and to be heard. I am not Mr Anderson, I am Dr Anderson. Thank you very much. Now, what point were you trying to make?
Thank you, Kris! And I agree – that is an excellent XKCD comic.

You’re not alone in this as an INFJ.

As an INFJ this was so accurate.. Introvert thinking can really beat me up and has done that since like for ever.. I will zone into my introvert feeling in my future.. Seeking harmony and value if people receive me or not, is really my default mode. I don’t feel I’m good at attributing to anybody, yet..
Great podcast, thank-you Joel and Antonia.
