INTP gang rise up

who gives a shit literature and art is for losers im out here fucking bitches lmao

t. ESTP

>>13211532
I'm an infp and my writing is dog shit and I feel shame when I post. Also why no Tolkien?

>>13211532
Could a more INFP author possibly exist?

Most great writers were Scorpios.

>Mishima, Novalis
>Introverts

Did you just take a wild guess? Both of them needed to be around people

>>13211538
Reminder that if you are not xNTP you will never have talent for philosophy.

i am ENTP, but am on the border with E and T, where N and P are solidly established… will i make it brehs?

>>13211579
>E
>having a proclivity for anything creative

>>13211579
Reminder that if you are an INTP you have a talent for philosophy and literature that will never be developed while ISTP-tards will publish their shit.

>>13211590
I’m an ENFP. I’ve done a bunch of creative work in my life. But I’m gonna be a lawyer soon, so it doesn’t really matter how many gigs and art shows I’ve done.

>>13211580
Your E may change, your T won't, don't worry bruh trust me it's better that way.

>>13211532
So I'm going to make it?
I hope so. Being INFP isn't good for much else.

>>13211607
Gigs and artshows are to the E as music and art are to I

>>13211538
gang

Reminder that if you believe in this shitty mbti thing you will most likely achieve nothing with your life.

Personality is situational not some objective "You are x therefore you will always act like x" things

>>13211629
basid

>>13211634
It's scientific you dumb liberal arts student

>>13211629
Yeah, I feel you. Sometimes I feel like I’m prostituting the stuff I make, but it’s nice sometimes to get feedback and make sales. To know someone enjoys what you put so much effort into is nice.

hey fellas this site says im rough on romantic partners. hopefully all my ex girlfriends who talk shit ablut me on finsta realize its cuz my brain doesnt work rite and not cuz i hate them

>>13211644
Sure abandon your writing career because some letter said so.

>>13211644
Just because you fill a test and then say "wow, that's so me", doesn't make it scientific, retard.

>>13211590
socrates was a textbook ENTP retard

>"Personality types" are now treated as identity groups
Christ

>>13211687
it's just astrology for men

>>13211637
only based reply in the thread, therefore:
/thread
it is truly saddening you guys value yourselves based on some meme pseudoscience
read more, get out more, live more, maybe then you'll understand it's not about the trivial things

im gonna start a branh of divination where our main textbook is the bell curve and we just do phrenology and tell ppl to kill their parents if theyre mexican

history folx what did shakespeare smell like?

>>13211762
Shalom brother, happy Shabbat to you. Drinking that Manisievitz to cut loose? Anyway, I study shakespeare at brandeiss university, and I would say he smelled line STALE ANTISEMITISM

>>13211762
He was very bitter and he made an awful lot of bad smell. His face smelled of onions and he had this crazy smell you couldn't really describe, it really smelled like onions. And then he kept doing little plays called The Tempest and Romeo and Juliet. So I think you might find that Shakespeare was a great person who smelled very bad, but that I'd have to put up with much worse. So, like I said, I never had a bad taste that Shakespeare could never be able to do. I was never, you know, in the situation where I could really taste something. I guess I can always say something bad about anything. I would rather never have to taste something.

>>13211532
Mishima and Melville were INFJs, though

>>13211634
>not typing every famous figure you're vaguely interested in as a dumb pastime

>>13211560
>Astrology
Found the woman

>>13211538
As an INTP i am intelligent enough to realize this shit is barely a step above horoscope.

>>13211891
Have sex

>>13212310
Have sex

>>13211532
Google says David is ENFJ and he wrote the Psalms. Checkmate.

>>13211538
>Tfw personality slowly shifted away from INTP

>>13211603
>ISTP-tards

>art

>>13211579
>Philosophy
LMAO WHO LITERALLY GIVES A SHIT

>>13211532
Only brainlets give those Myers-Briggs tests any merit.

>>13211532

>>13211629
O U C H.

>>13211532

well I am but I don't know if having a talent for literature is necessarily worth being one step away from suicide for your entire life

The best composers as well

Beethoven (https://www.idrlabs.com/articles/2016/12/why-ludwig-van-beethoven-is-infp/))
Schubert
Chopin
Weber
Schumann
Tchaikovsky
Grieg
Ravel
Rachmaninov
Scriabin
Richard Strauss

now thats a good company,
makes me feel a bit better being a worthless infp

Robert Schumann on Wagner: ''For me Wagner is impossible... he talks without ever stopping. One can't just talk all the time.''
Wagner on Robert Schumann: ''It is impossible to communicate with Schumann! The man is hopeless; he doesn't talk at all.''

>>13211560
Underrated

what if i'm INTP? what kind of literary fate i deserve.

>>13211532
not an INFP myself but i am a fan of some INFPs. pic related, my favorite INFPs. not pictured: my friend bill, who is also an INFP.

>>13211532

I just took the test and got INFP. In the past I think I got INTJ or whatever. The Architect, I think?

>>13214475
the architect's type is FATT

>>13214458
Balzac and Zola were INTP.
Mostly boring authors but Lost Illusion is a great book.

>>13214486
hello mr. BROsnan,
my gf is an awfully skinny type
any advice?
ps: bigg fan

>>13211532

Why do so many people take pride in calling themselves INTP? It seems that whenever this personality test comes up theres alway a fairly large group of people that call themselves intp despite statistically intps are roughly 2.5% of the world population.

>>13211532
the only idea of restringing the whole human mind with all its immeasurable creative capabilities in a few estereotypical profiles makes me sick

>>13214547
cringe

>>13214540
how they know this if neither of them could have taken the test

>>13214540
4chan draws a predominantly INTP audience so of course it will look somewhat disproportionate to global statistics.

>>13214547

But why?
You think too highly of humans
They fall into patterns and categories like everything else
If you think they're so special it's only because you are one

>>13214621
Isn't it the most common male type?

>>13214636
come on, which personality Jesus Christ had? fuck off

>>13211721
Its not pseudoscience.
However, I do agree that in this context, its about as good as astrology. The type of dead men cannot be truly determined, and one's own type is bound to shift from time to time. Its also not entirely useful for determining one's ability at a given task.
But this thread is just for fun, I imagine.

>>13211532
>One of the sixteen personality types under the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which measures psychological preferences.
>The letters in INFP stand for: Introverted, intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving.
>The INFP's cognitive functions are used in this order: Introverted feeling (Fi), Extroverted Intuition (Ne), Introverted Sensing (Si), and Extroverted Thinking (Te).
>INFPs are a part of the Idealist Temperament (NF) and are often referred to as "The Healers","The Idealists", or "The Dreamers".
>Being highly imaginative, creative and empathetic, INFPs often have a great propensity for language, writing, psychology, art, music, and altruism.
>Although known for being quiet and gentle, if an INFP's values are violated, they can become harshly defensive of their principles. The INFP's values are at the core of their idealism and motivation in life.
Holy shit that’s literally me

>>13214646

males are roughly half the population and statistically only like 3% of the population has it and seeing as both males and females can have it id have to say no.

>>13214621

Whats your reasoning behind it attracting mostly intps?

>>13214687
Antisocial autists posting about feels is the definition of INFP

>>13212310
Read a book about having sex

>>13214714

>>13214699

>>13215936

>>13212310
bend over

Do you believe this is the face of mercy?

wtf I'm INFP should I become a writer?

>>13216841

Try this one it might be more accurate

https://www.sociotype.com/tests/

>>13211637
Debord knew his shit.

>>13217150
Slight difference.

>>13217239

Huh, according to there tool thing we wouldnt get along irl

>>13214540
this is a sperg site (besides the normie boards) so it of course draws the sperg types

>>13214646
most common type among males is ISTJ

>>13214068
It's making fun of the people who believe personality horoscopes

>>13217422
Anon, do not spoonfeed the r*dditors.

INFP SCORPIO HERE

>>13216841
INTP is one of the least cool types
it's also the most common type on 4chan

Some days I am an ESTJ and somedays I am an INFP. I just can't explain it.

>>13216841
>energy, nature, tactics
What is this bullshit

>>13219075
that's so gemini

>>13217239
INTj in Socionics corresponds to INTP in MBTI, they have the same cognitive functions

>>13214048
Not in Poetry

>>13214540
>Kafka
>INTP

>>13219654

He was thought to be one? do your research

Reminder that if you are not INTP you will never be able to remember the complete history of trains or be able to recite it at a moments notice.

I'm PTSD myself

>>13217150
Bruh this is the first MBTI that has suggested that I'm plausibly a INTP instead of an INTJ but at the same time it also tells me I'm 99% likely to be INTJ instead of INTP. Pic related. I feel like the result might have been affected by that people images part of the test, which I don't think I've ever seen on any other MBTI test online I've taken. Really makes me think. Thanks anon!
