I had a good childhood. Although poor technically my mom always made sure we were entertained and safe. I recent watched a video of mark laita from soft white underbelly and he revealed a part of his personal life where he was dating this young lady who he implied committed died of drug overdose. He said she had a lot truma.

I just don’t have a ability accept the turmoil flawed character that comes with dating those types of people, no matter how loving caring, funny charming etc they are. I kinda feel bad for it because those people feel like people should see through their flaws and this stance is judgmental but I just can’t. Who wants to put up with that? The only kind of people I think will are either empaths or super chaotic themselves.

When a person has trauma they tend to display a set of behaviors and tendencies that lead to a world of troubles. Their emotional turmoil drives their lives in a way. I’m not okay with that spilling into my life. I feel like this expectation would disqualify my dating pool like 70% lol.

I have this theory that humans feel a lot of pleasure from peeing, that’s why sometimes we drink water even when we’re not thirsty, and why some people are pretty much addicted to soda, and why we always offers guests some coffee or tea.

Think about it, we literally pee and have sex using the same organs, they must be connected somehow! What if very early humans needed a smaller amount of water to survive and a stronger urge to reproduce? So peeing would be less frequent, like once or twice a day so it would be used as a mating signal.

The association of mating with peeing might have stuck with us even after evolution and now we have a lot of cafes for unnecessary drinking!

(This is not 100% serious, don’t fact check me)

" The researchers, who evaluated data from 132,515 adults, ages 21-60, looked at overall life span trends in the "Big Five" personality traits--conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness and extraversion. Conscientiousness (XXXJ types in MBTI) grows as people mature and become better at managing their jobs and relationships, and agreeableness (XXFX types ) changes most in your 30s when you're raising a family and need to be nurturing. "

" Openness (in MBTI intuition) showed small declines in both men and women over time, a change that indicates less interest in forming new relationships, and may infer greater interest in spending time with a small group of well-known relatives and friends as people age "

" Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People tend to think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that's not how it works. "Personality is a developmental phenomenon. It's not just a static thing that you're stuck with and can't get over," said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. People become more extraverted, emotionally stable, agreeable and conscientious as they grow older. Over the long haul, these changes are often pronounced. "

You WILL be more like ISTJ after 40 years old. You will be less open and more detail-oriented like your hated dad or mum :D

It is no surprise that only young people score as INTP especially young, antisocial kind of autistic men.

YOU WILL BE ISTJ OR EVEN ISFJ AT SOME POINT, almost all old people are ISTJ/ESTJ/ESFJ/ISFJ deal with it...

I’m a guy and I really don’t feel like I’ve met anybody that’s a guy and is an INTP. On top of that I’ve never seen INTP’s depicted as male on those tests with artwork.

okay chat i don't even know what the fuck i am but probably something close to an intp. so let's see that rizz. you guys are naturals. nature is beautiful but nobody compliments the obvious. get it? cool throw it at me.

Lately, I’ve been finding Reddit to be a challenging place to have open conversations, especially around election season. The platform often feels like an echo chamber where many users purely repeat the most popular opinions rather than engage in genuine discussion or independent thinking. There seems to be a trend where any perspective that doesn’t align with the majority view is met with a flood of downvotes, making it difficult to share differing thoughts without being dismissed outright.

What I find most concerning is how a single vote or endorsement is often treated as a defining trait of someone’s entire character. For instance, if someone supports a certain candidate, they can be immediately labeled with extreme assumptions. This approach of viewing people solely through a political lens can quickly lead to unnecessary hostility and misunderstandings.

This same mentality is also visible in the backlash faced by public figures and celebrities. Many individuals who once had broad support face sudden criticism for their political views, only for opinions about them to shift again when the cultural tides change. It’s interesting but also a bit disheartening to see opinions flip so easily.

Ultimately, this dynamic on Reddit reflects a broader challenge in society fewer people seem willing to consider different perspectives thoughtfully. Instead, there’s a tendency to follow popular opinion, often without taking the time to critically evaluate each issue for themselves.

Thank you. Whole trend is just stupid. If you think traffic from reddit is affecting elon's bottom line in any meaningful way, you're just wrong, regardless of how you feel about him.

What a foolish era we're living in. I was genuinely hopeful about AI progress, believing it would touch people's lives and benefit society in a meaningful way. Someone wise once said that ignorance isn't caused by a lack of access to knowledge, or something along those lines, how true.

AI today feels like a parody. Its main role now seems to be either misleading people or feeding their fantasies. And every single one of us has to suffer the consequences just so someone can jerk off to a sexualized cat in a school uniform. Can we please start a revolt against the billionaires and the mindless US government that empowers them?

Short Version: Most People dont know how to use Chatgpt.

Long version: Most People dont know how to use LLM like Chatgpt in a usefull way. So they devalue it.

My Observations: INTP know how to use AI thats why they like it so much.

And who dont know how to use it, is frustraded and devalue Ai.

INTPs… What’s the best way to CRUSH yeah, CRUSH the typical traps that chain us down? I’m talking about procrastination stealing your days, self-sabotage choking out your future, indecision keeping you stuck in nothingness.

Let me spit it again, sharper, louder: Where’s the damn key to break through those mental walls and turn this personality into what it truly can be a weapon, a machine, a creative beast with direction?

Think about it: if NOTHING stopped you no fear, no doubt, no distraction, if it all burned away… What would we see? We’d see the INTP at its most brutal, most legendary, most expanded form.

So I’m asking, no mercy, no sugar-coating: WHAT ARE THE CONCRETE STEPS, the hacks, the rituals, the systems, to get there
no pause, no crash, no looking back?

Called on ChatGPT just to whet the blade, sharpen the Ne, and unload this like a cannon straight to your cortex

I just found out the love of my life has kids (probably married, too). I'm heartbroken.

There's this lady I see pretty regularly at my hangout spot (a park). She's so beautiful, tall, and probably a few years older than me. Gosh, did I mention She's fucking beautiful?

I always see her alone, or conversing with one of the regulars. Whenever she looks towards me, I always pretend to not see her (a tactic I use as an awkward introvert). I'm sure she's just a friendly person, and would probably not mind some small talk. But see, I'm super awkward, self absorbed, and terrified of other people.

Anyway, after weeks of unsuccessfully trying to steal a glance or 2 without her noticing, I saw her dragging 3 kids alongside her today, with car keys on the other hand.

My heartbreak is immeasurable. The reality that she's much much older is finally sinking in (I'm 21). I'm gonna sing myself to sleep now. This day is full of sadness.

We had plans. Plans I had concocted in my head. We were going to build a life together. Time for my revenge arc.

Edit: Guys, it was meant to be a joke. I actually plan on saying Hi the next time I see her. Fellow regular park goer and whatnot.

No judgement, uhmm just doing some research, let’s dish the dirt!

I just want to confirm something.

Premise: SUBJECTS IN QUESTION ARE INTPS

I personally can’t imagine myself ever becoming a gambling addict. Knowing how the most of the gambling industry works, like the house will never lose, which means the gambler is gonna always lose on the long run, it’s just unfavourable to play the game and not worth the risk.

I think I’ve used my analytical and intuition (Ti and Ne) functions to deduct that I should never start to gamble, because it’s just logical to not want to lose knowing that the loss is inevitable on the long run, I guess?

Is this universally true for who is logic and prediction packed like us INTP?

Edit: gambling addiction as wanting to make a living out of gambling. Gambling as relying solely on luck, not like poker which can require skills.

All the things I value in a partner have litte to do with what most people are looking for. I've tried different relationships and staying open-minded but it seems like all I'm looking for in a partner is maid qualities...

as in...cooking, cleaning, sex sometimes, how was your day, cool, peace, i'm going to my room...

I had the exact opposite thought process BEFORE dating. I thought I'd be more into the whole life partner shit but nope...

i'm actively dating someone right now i connect with really well great vibes and everything good sex etc. but i'm like fuck hanging out with her friends and dealing with all this other bs that most relationships tend to have at a bare minimal functional level doesn't seem worth it. maybe i'm destined to be single forever...

So I work in tech/IT but I like working with AI more in my spare time on completely random stuff. Totally unrelated to software and tech. Mostly just for entertainment purposes. Apart from the most random questions ever, I did some of the following:

- It was fun to ask chatGPT to make a CIA behavioral assessment about me.

- I like to diagnose complex car problems so I made a roleplaying game where I’m the diagnostic mechanic. Based on a work order I need to figure out what the issue is and fix the car. It simulates all diagnostic values and it’s a great puzzle game.

- Same as the above one, but with (urgent) medical situations. Diagnose the patient.

- I uploaded a Whatsapp chat with a friend when I found it difficult to read their intentions even after I asked them bluntly. I let Claude make an interpretation of them as a person and tell me about possible theories of what was going on inside their head.

- I make art and use it to conceptualize the ideas that are in my head.

Inspire me with your random chat/usage ideas of AI.
Thanks :)

It's not ready for mass deployment and the version on website is NOT the same. Will link in comments.

How it works:

1. Basically an MBTI test that does not ask loaded questions.

2. Infinite different questions, different every time. Let me say that again. Every time.

3. You are asked to recount stories or experiences to open ended questions, minimizing bias. (this might be 1% missing, as recounting past can lead to cognitive bias, but should be fixable)

4. The previous tests questions and answers are saved in database, which is then all combined to give one massive analysis.

5.The more you take the test, the more different angles you will be questioned from. Imagine a blind man touching an elephant from all different sides.

Eventually a clear picture emerges.

I see the same question post so often it makes me think what is the obsession about disliking it or not understanding? To solve this, I think there should be a flair for disliking birthdays. Also maybe once a month there should be a post for this topic, so that frustration surrounding birthdays can be brought up and some of you guys can properly vent. So going forward for the rest of the month post about birthday are deleted.

Slightly more emotional than most men. But he's a good person imo.

I suppose most INTPs don't believe in God, but I'm always surprised to see an INTP who believe in God. How does that happen as an INTP? Maybe if you're really really young, but otherwise how can you manage to believe in heaven and hell(and whole other stuff), which are so clearly made up?

Edit: I need to say that believers I'm talking about are people who actually really believe in God. Like they think something/someone is listening while they talk to themselves.
If you practice religion, but don't actually think you will be resurrected(or whatever absurd your religion tells you) I think you're in a different category, which isn't very far from atheism really!
Let's all accept religion is just storytelling that at lot of people take way too seriously.

Hey fellow Logicians. There's a meme where Jerry (from Rick and Morty) says "I just kept googling things and it kept on working." which sums up most INTPs imo.

I believe AI tools is the next evolution of this meme for us.

I'm a software dev. Our company has been pushing AI (LLM like Claude) down our throats.

There's a big push for everyone to do their work with this.

I hear a lot of dissent about this. The problem is people do not realize how to use AI effectively

I genuinely believe we (INTPs) are naturally pre-disposed to use AI effectively.

For example the other day there was a runtime error in one of our production apps.

While everyone is trying to debug traditionally, I feed the logs to Claude and it pinpoints me to the issue and even implemented the solution. literally did no work but no one is thinking about using AI like this.

I have so many more examples where I use AI and team members are surprised at how I used it efficiently.

Are y'all also on this AI train?

I’m curious what the thoughts are from the INTP community because on average it seems like most of Reddit despises the mega rich (Billionaires).

One of my personal passions in life is business, and making money has actively been one of my genuine hobbies since I was 5 years old. Obviously I might have a skewed opinion here due to that.

My thoughts on billionaires though is simply based on value created = fair share of the overall sum. For example: the value created for the world by creating Amazon is simply thousands of not millions of times more important or impactful that any one person will ever achieve by working a regular job. IMO that makes it fair for someone like a Jeff Bezos to be worth as much as he is.

I do think people should be paid decent wages, but I also don’t think everyone should expect they can live in California or New York on basic no skill required jobs like being a delivery person at Amazon.

Final point is that while I do think Billionaires should contribute a majority of their money to charities, building infrastructure for communities, and improving the general world; I think most of them actually are doing that. It’s simply not easy to spend money at the rate they make it, and also most of them don’t have their net worth as free cash flow. It’s tied up in stocks, funds, charities orgs, etc…

I’m just curious…
