Accurate.

When an INFJ plays chess, we imagine the social policies we'd be enacting in the kingdom we're trying to conquer in the game.

ENFJ here, I have never been so surprised by something I completely agree with. The funny part is that I never managed to learn to play chess, I know almost nothing about it. My ESFP sister, however, has and was in the school chess club. I don't know who needs to know that but I said it anyway it seems.

@@trebaneconapise7793 Me, an INFP joined chess class because I did not know how to play chess and thought that it'd be an easy A. Grade was determined by your rank in class so first is 100 and 2.d is 99 etc... what I thought would be basically another study hall for the end of the school day turned into a struggle between the 24 of us that signed up trying not to be last. There were 2 ESFP's that joined for the same reasons as me, though for one of them, learning the game was just a front so she could talk and play at the same time and do good enough to not drop into the C range. I respect her. The other never could pick up chess and was bad and eventually instead of goofing off , towards the end he tried to learn strategy and stuff. Still towards to bottom, he realized too late that he needed to try. Pain.

INTP and chess... well, I don't know. True, I can only speak for myself, but when I play chess then only in creative mode...

I have never played Civ multiplayer but it either has to be CIv or Aoe2 and bonus resources sounds like luxury resources in Civ.

@@kenc00l Board game: Eclipse It's a 4x style game set in a futuristic sci-fi setting. Playtime is approximately 45-60 minutes per player.

I was going to say Twilight Imperium, so was close ;)

I am an INTP and my wife is an INTJ. We play a lot of strategy games. After we play any game enough times she knows exactly what I am going to do and uses that to out maneuver me regardless of if there even direct conflict associated with the game. I learn to play the game, but she learns to play against me.

Too many times have me (INTP) and my INTJ friend formed a temporary alliance against the other two players, knowing very well that either one of us two would win if everyone would play for themselves but that we would lose if the other two would take us one after the other. So it often came down to choosing the right time and correct alliance details to make out who of us would win in the end. Obviously, we would call each other's options out all the time so everyone could react to it, like "Remember INTJ still has three resource cards that could be used for another city, so don't make any trade that seems too be good for you to be also good for him. It _is_ good for him!" or "You better settle that way because otherwise INTJ is going there and taking another resource he is currently lacking, which would make him independent from trading with us." Just to be clear, we also often lost, but we were the most competitive and doing "untrusting alliances".

*Everyone* is terrifying to an INTP!

Even infp are terrifying to them

Yes! My best friend is an ISFP and although I think it's weird and kind of a waste of time to sit in silence in one another's presence, it is also kind of nice once you get used to it!

I'm infp and same for us. I adore puppies 🐶 I don't mind silence but would get bored of it after a while

i agree with the isfj cool scene it's such a breath of fresh air... i find that isfjs are represented as the submissive and compromising one (hence "weakness") in this channel but if anything, I think isfjs are really strong. i cant bring myself to not Te tone myself in a conversation I am Ni or Fi passionate about but they nod or validate my ideas a lot even if they disagree or dont really care which I cant do. Hence, this is my favorite representation of isfjs, they genuinely scare me too with how nice they are.

As they say, kill em with kindness

ISFJs THRIVE from the fact that people dismiss them as doormats. That's how they manipulate the shit out of you

@@clmberserker245 I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke but I'll assume that it isn't for a moment. ISFJs are behind-the-scenes stabilizers; their natural inclination is to equalize/stabilize everyone's emotional needs; this might come across as manipulating to you but it isn't; don't associate a negative connotation to this and in fact, if you think that their approach is somewhat sensible, accept it and take it on. Also, I think that it is better for everyone to learn how not to be manipulated and how to value others as individuals instead of remarking a subset of them as doormats and such.

I don't think isfjs are represented as weak. She always shows isfjs as genuine good people. Even their weaknesses seem innocent

That would also have been cool! I think I need an ENTP friend.

Absolutely was expecting the same.

@@julial.r.5383 I have an ENTP brother, we debate about philosophical shit EVERY single day

@@julial.r.5383 hello friend

@@julial.r.5383they talk too much for me. And then I get bored after certain conversations that I’m not interested in but can’t leave

Sarcasm is our love language.

I think it was a compliment

Well, all INTPs i know, loves INFJ. They think INFJs are smart and kindhearted

INTP here with an INFJ mom. My mind goes on a million different directions when she monologues, but I'm still paying attention. I find her way of thinking fantastic, out of this world, inspiring, sometimes terrifying and revolutionary, ... I love how she opens my mind to a lot of things (especially about people, values/ideals, alternative views on how to live our most fulfilling life...), without trying. We love psychoanalyzing everything, and talking about concepts (and so on). I don't know your INTP, but I believe it was a compliment.

@@julial.r.5383 That's amazing, thanks for sharing. I sincerely thought it was a compliment, it shocked me because it was unexpected for me to realize he was actually paying attention, even though he was not responding right away.

I get more ISTP on liquor... Then again, I've been in a relationship with one of those for half of my life 😅

There should have been a metaverse dive with ENTP and ENFP; I think that ISFP and INFP are cute (maybe I just have a weak spot for them) and we could get along very good on the base of common interests. Also, I am not very fond of ESTP - they are too brash for me and I don't think that they are the type to give credit to other people. - INTP

As an ENTP maybe this is why I don’t crave alcohol…

Accurate for you but I still see it playing on stereotypes

Yeah, I am an ESTP and my bff is an INTP. I like how she always makes sense and there are reasons behind what she does always. We talk about many things in the concrete and abstract world. The topic we talk about most is psychology. I really like to analize people and see why they do what they do. It is generally fun for both of us.

I (INTP) have an ESTP friend that is actually a lot more caring than most people would think.

I (INTP) kind of usually keep myself away from ESTPs, but then again, I had a very close ESTP friend in highschool and we played off of each other very well. It was very fun to be around her, because we could talk about a lot of things without getting too emotional about it and she mostly got where I came from. Sometimes she would remark though that I was quite sarcastic most of the time (not at her, just in general), but I was just stating facts, hahaha.

I love the ‘swap the first two letters’ combos. INFJ/ESFJ, ISTJ/ENTJ, ISTP/ENTP etc 😊

Feelers aren't afraid of controversial takes. They're angered by them

Entp are just intp's that don't keep what their thinking to themselves. All entp skits i see on KZfaq is just people doing what I think of doing but my better judgment tells me not to

I don't even need alcohol, I just need feel safe enough.

@@weDie-tomorrow yes yes it is - entp

​@Alexis Webb You couldn't be more wrong. (from experience) Also, I just read somewhere that INTPs are one of the most likely types to be problematic drinkers.

@@jamie_johns I feel like an INTP that learns to use their Fe will be able to put on an extrovert mask better than INTP’s who are stuck in a Ti Si loop which I’m sure INTP’s will struggle with at least once in their life if not anytime they’re severely deprived of themselves or stressed (I might be slightly projecting here)

I'm guessing ESFP will be last in order to steal the show! Hmm I'm wondering if this will be a series of excerpts from songs, like a prequel to the much awaited 16Personalities -The Musical!

@@edwright4892 it’s been confirmed that infjs will be the last tho

I'm so interested in the INFJ take. We get dunked on hard in this channel as being arrogantly certain on our "guesses" where these types of skits done by the NF channels have a different set of qualities to mock. I enjoy the similarities of being as up in our heads as the INFPs.

@@shannon1242 I hear you! I feel being an introverted people person is a particularly challenging set of cards to be dealt, and I've struggled to find my path over the years, but if you can learn to enjoy its sweet irony it sure is a real ride! - INFP

So true. This fellow isfp’s best friend is an intp, and even if we’re very different, it’s a good kind of different

I love ISFPs! So chill! My best friend is an ISFP.

Weirdly enough i trust ISFJ more. I think because they will be upfront and honest. I think they are enablers but i appreciate that they just stake a claim. ISFP often refuse to do that.

INTP resigned after one move because they're accusing ENFJ of cheating.

As an INTP, I'd probably fire back with something like "Have you considered that you're nosy?"

​@@SandDragon91ENFJ: yes I have, now your turn to answer.

What is f4 opening called?

@@thwartificer f4 is the Bird opening.

ENFJ is just like istj except they value human relationships as a priority rather than tasks or hygiene or whatever it is that istj values. They both follow rules but enfj's rules are morality or ethics. Which I think might be the blind spot of INTP.

You just got electronic devices that f-ed up your craving-reward/dopamine system, that's what _really_ happened.

@@zzzcocopepe A more concise way of putting it is ENFJ's are lawful good, ISTJ's are lawful neutral and INTP's are true neutral. -ISTJ

I came quickly running

That’s my wife! 😅

Lmaoo my guy bestie is an INTP and I'm ESFP - its like, we could combine our strengths to take over the world but we are just too lazy

I am married to an Esfj girl but Esfp?? Really? This is beyond what's tolerable for me.

Then they are not ESFP or you aren’t INTP. I’m an ENTP and this is beyond my patience or tolerance capacity

@@thisishowitallends9321 maybe it isnt your 16p type but rather a mental condition and/or a, for an entp, extremely narrow view on types

@@Jo-sx8yi Lol. Or maybe you just suck at typing yourself and the others

We relate on a spiritual basis

the "useful ideas" = boring ideas to intps, but we don't lead you back to wacky ideas because it's hot how you take control of the situation and also you trumped our Fe without even realizing

It's not that we 'love the sound of our own voice' that's rude and condescending. No, we love vocalizing our random ideas with another source of ideas that we normally don't have access to and the thought of getting these random ideas systemized more than we could do on our own is just too tempting to pass up. You're feeding us what we love, and you're doing it with without telling us to 'oh god, please stop talking my head hurts' (this is what we've been told since childhood, we've internalized 'other people find us annoying' and that's why we don't talk a lot normally). When we find someone who we think doesn't find us annoying, we tend to latch on to that and blabber on a bit.

Naw it's not an INTP thing to be performative, it's just really fun to explore ideas. Not everyone is willing to do so, so when we get the chance it's quite exciting.

Yeah, me too. So that is why INTPs and INFJs are Golden pair if they care their functions. Another INFJ

Although, based on my own interactions as an INTP to a friend INFJ, I actually find her insights and perspective well worth the attention, and usually don’t mute her out. Although a general level of muting out is possible with anyone once our minds get going. It’s not that we don’t care - we just had an inner beast released upon our consciousness. 😂

i agree! I have always felt they resemble each other in a way

My mother is an ISFJ and through a series of long conversations with her, we’ve discovered that while our basic values are often similar, we come to our conclusions from completely different directions. She tends to observe reality and draw conclusions, whereas I have a series of premises I use to interpret the world.

I basically said yep and yep to ISTJ and ISFJ, but to ISTP I said " Now YOU try talking about conceptual things!!!" LOL My husband is an ISTP, so we joke about our differences a lot :) Also, As an INTP, I'm actually good at physical things, but I just don't particularly always like all of the ins and outs of the physical realm. And when it comes to trying something new, I usually do like to think about it for a long time first. Get it right in my head and strategize how I'm going to do it, so that helps me not fail too bad when I do actually go for it!

​​@@lishayost144 Same! It pains me that some people don't really understand the situations they put themselves in, until they realize it's too late (in-comes the denial & blame shifting). I really appreciate my ability to vividly imagine irl scenarios and deduce the best, most optimal ways to do things. Thank you, Ti-Ne. I genuinely love you. ☺️👍

@@KingDeadMan Much love back at ya!

Lord. As an ENFJ this description SO ACCURATELY summarizes the way I think my ISTP sister feels about me. She is made of nothing but boundaries (which I view as walls) and the only thing in the entire world I want is to be closer to her. It’s her way or the highway and it feels like she compromises very little, so sometimes I just ignore her boundaries bc again, she seems to exist of nothing BUT boundaries and it feels like it’s very one sided. I’m constantly concerned about what she needs and meeting her needs and not being “too much” for her. I rarely if ever see her put in any effort to accommodate my needs. So, after awhile, her boundaries start to almost lose credibility with me and sometimes I just disregard them and do what I need (like stay at her house too long to get some connection with her). It’s not ideal and I’d prefer not to do it but I also feel like I’m left with no choice sometimes 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@karenhanson359 do you not have any boundaries of your own?

Same, it was so funny😂

Glad to see you're still a patron. Yay Gali! And, yes

@@jashepoon Well of course

This is the most INTP comment ever

They’re often regarded as the most social introvert! Also an unusual type in that it’s “greater than the sum if it’s parts”

You absolute legend! Thank you 😁

INTP daughter and my ISTP dad went nuts trying to teach me to cook and drive 🤣

​@@polly5770 😂 oh my gosh!

Those kinds of friendly words are one of the many reasons we love INFJs.

They seem to be from a phycology focused conversation including some discussion of brain chemistry and function considering norepinephrine and the amygdala being mentioned, I'm guessing a big talk about how emotions are a part of how the brain functions and are therefore important to pay attention to.

​@@KarlJeager Yes they are. A chat about neurology and psychology was probably happening.

INFJ here lesse which of those words I know by heart. All of them but Psychometrika. I understand all the phrases because I love trying to help my INTPs friends with charisma and understanding people better in social situations. They definitely have blind spots.

Late diagnosed (technically undiagnosed) ENTP autistic, fairly low masking, annoyed my peers in school, swore off making friends preemptively around third grade, lived the rest of my childhood as an INTP. (Re)discovered I was not an introvert between high school and college, but still test as an introvert nearly two decades later because old habits die hard. I don't burn energy like high-masking autistics do because I don't mask my autism hard, but I don't recharge quickly, because I mask my extroversion. You "have" to mask one or the other because extroverted autism largely consists of sticking your foot in your mouth over and over again. Your conclusion that you're naturally an INTP matches up with conclusions I've made about a relationship that ended badly in which the other party was an ISFJ and (I now think) very likely autistic. She ended up dumping me as a social liability. I get it, but it had me very bitter before I figured out that she was autistic and how that played into everything, and while it's more understandable at this point, it feels like even more of a betrayal than it did. And with neither of us knowing we were autistic at the time, but me being aware that I was masking my extroversion, I was trying to advocate for myself with zero success because I didn't actually understand the dynamics of the situation, but thought I did (I thought the reason we were so much on the same wavelength was that she was masking extroversion, which I'm less sure of now). Watching the ISFJs in these videos goes back and forth between feeling sympathy for shared autistic struggles and wanting to give them a hug, and a deep grieving anger at their masking. Maybe that's a bit hypocritical given that INTP is itself a mask for me, but... yeah. A lot to unpack there.

The key word is 'logical' here but what ENFP do is conjecture or some thoughtless direct experience . ENFP think they have a Ti, they absolutely don't, an intp will get to 10 from 1,2,3....10 solving and making sense of each part, and ENFP magically jumps to 10 intuitively with high speed, almost genius.

@@kenc00l the N function is responsible for logic. The T function is more about power and control. Just look at entj compared to ENFJ. They both have similar talents but one is obsessed with power. Or intj and infj. They both think similarly but one is obsessed with power. Although TBH I think the intj power obsession is more of a trope than the reality. But that's besides the point. I've noticed that all the NT types seem to think that they are more logical than the NF types. Carl Jung himself was an NF

@kaliah yeah I said the same thing. I'm not sure which type I am but I think I might be ENFP. And I love to destroy NTs. But not for the same reason that NTs like to destroy others. I think NTs are unwell and need discipline to realign themselves away from nihilism and more toward stoicism.

Me too, but my intp husband can not follow easily, so to him it looks like I either made it up out of nothing (if he disagrees) or that I'm a magical mind reader (if he agrees) Most likely the enfps notebook was actually full of writing but it's just that the intp can't see it, it's a blind spot.

@@kenc00l ENFP: *talks giberish* ... "and that's how it'll work" (yay I did it (me)) INTP: "what? That doesn't make sense? That's not how it works!" (best friend) ENFP: "yeah but it's working so it should make sense" INTP: "I hate you"

Gotta love that Sicilian Defence. Classic & flexible.
