Introverts As Lines Of Poetry

I’m...

DOMINANT FUNCTION:

Fe: Empathetic and warm-hearted. Other people are one of the most important things to me and I find it hard not to care about them or to want to keep them happy. I’m a lover of people

Fi: Emotional and opinionated. I have strong feelings about who/what I value and what is truly right, so I let my personal values influence myself more than anything else. I’m an idealist

Te: Driven and responsible. If I want to get something done, I’ll quickly find the most efficient way to do it. I’m a go-getter

Ti: Rational and independent. I love making logical sense of what I don’t know and figuring out how things work to solve problems or just for the hell of it. I’m an analytical thinker

Ne: Very stimulated by ideas and concepts. My mind is always energised by interesting thoughts and connections between them. I’m a visionary

Ni: Detached from the moment by itself and perceptive of the bigger picture. My 5 senses only take me so far, I’m mostly concerned with intangible possibilities and hidden meanings behind things. I’m a contemplator

Se: Spontaneous and highly in tune with my surroundings and happenings in them, which I’m almost always confident in experiencing and interacting with. I’m a realist

The types as Daedric princes

ENTJ - Molag Bal, Prince of Domination. Evil alpha boss.

ISTJ - Jyggalag, Prince of Order. Enough said.

ESTP - Mehrunes Dagon, Prince of Destruction. Never has well-thought out plans and usually leaves a path of chaos in their wake.

INFP - Namira, Prince of Darkness and Decay. Just wants to be left alone to ruminate in their own dark thoughts but will attack if provoked.

ENFJ - Azura, Prince of the Dawn and Dusk. Friendly but vain. Always in need of attention from their followers.

ESFP - Sanguine, Prince of Debauchery. Did someone say ‘party’?

INTP - Hermaeus Mora, Prince of Knowledge and Fate. Indifferent, aloof and more interested in spending time with the curiosities they’ve collected than in people.

ESTJ - Boethiah, Prince of Deceit and Murder. Always second to Molag Bal.

INTJ - Vaermina, Prince of Nightmares. Evil, manipulative and will show people unimaginable horrors if you get into their head.

ENFP - Malacath, Prince of the Spurned. Has a soft spot for those who have been marginalized or ostracized.

ISFP - Nocturnal, Prince of the Night. Not really all that evil, but not as innocent as you might think either.

ESFJ - Meridia, Prince of Energy and Light. Kind and caring unless you offend them. Also has a weird dogma about what’s right and wrong.

INFJ - Mephala, Prince of Spiders, Sex and Murder. Extremely desirable and mysterious. Has a cult following that will do virtually anything for them, making them far, far more manipulative and wicked than people realize.

ISFJ - Peryite, Prince of Natural Order and Disease. Likes order but for some reason everyone finds them weak and annoying.

ISTP - Hircine, Prince of the Hunt. Extreme sports, the Great Outdoors and killing things, y’all.

ENTP - Sheogorath, Prince of Madness, and Clavicus Vile, Prince of Wishes. Quite mad and likes to think they know how to trick people, but usually ends up tripping over their own feet instead. Also horrible at listening to their friends’/sidekicks’ advice.

a humble Take, riyria edition

As an INTP I don’t apologise I just point out how they were illogical

The MBTI types apologize

Lmaoo yes. I was so aware of how it was all so ridiculous from their PoV, which is hilarious. 

But from the humans’ POV it was epic. I knew Hadrian would win, there’s no way he wouldn’t, he’s our insurmountable Teshlor knight, buut it still gave me such an adrenaline rush reading those sequences man.

Stupid humans...

This is super spoilery for the Riyria books which is a pretty decent fantasy series - so don’t read this if you don’t want parts of the very end of the series ruined.

I was re-reading it, and I found myself picturing the end of the novel from the point of view of the elves - they must have been mortified.

This thing that should have been a sacred tradition had a banished murderer on one side and a bunch of humans on the other - none of which could seem to decide who the heir was. The combatants changed literally four times, with a healer butting in occasionally and the loser getting unexpectedly shanked by some random bystander.

Seriously, Yakety Sax should have been playing.

You just know that afterwards the humans were like, “oh man that was epic, I’m going to tell everyone I know!” And the elves are all, “let us never speak of this again”.

Lmaooo I loved when he punched Gaunt

Too bad it wasn’t for you Alric :)

Hadrian: I punched Gaunt in the face.

Mauvin and Alric:

All you need is love croissants and particle physics

— INTP, currently recovering from a sad day

Identifying INTPs

- seem popular when you first look at them, probably attractive (it’s that pouty lip lifestyle)

- then you realize that they don’t talk to people

- then you realize that when they do talk, they talk really loudly

- then you realize, when they talk to their close friends, they won’t shut up

- except for when they’re silent for three months at a time

- then you get slapped w/ the fact that they’re A NERD (and proud of it)

- OR you never find out they’re a nerd and think everyone else is delusional for treating them like they’re the most intelligent person on the planet when clearly, this person is a big dumbass

- probably waiting for someone to do or say something interesting

- might be surrounded by people but always on the outside of the circle or latched onto one person 

- EYE CONTACT. Hands down, the easiest way to know assuming they have already acknowledged your existence. I personally don’t know what to do with my eyes during a conversation so I don’t really look away. Only look at you if they’re interested. 

- “No, oh wait, maybe…” is their go-to response (a conversation btwn INTPs is like so: “no, for this reason-” “no, you’re wrong because-” “no, because-” “no, I’m correct”)

- often really bored by whatever is happening outside of their head so they either won’t engage or will try to start a game or something

- always known as the funny friend

- easily annoyed, famous for glares, sometimes it’s meant as a joke

- in class, they wait for someone else to answer the teacher’s questions first before deciding they’ll take initiative when no one else does  — > applies to most things

- cuddly but in a particular way, likely want to be the one to initiate all forms of bodily contact once they’re close to you

- might not even like cats but 100% of people will read them as a cat-person

- intelligent but forgets a lot of shit because they just don’t care enough or haven’t had to remember that piece of knowledge in 3 yrs. 

- when they’re passionate, they’re all in, the edge of the multiverse is the limit / when they’re not, they’re gonna sleep for the next 100 yrs. and will growl at you if you wake them

- may wake up early but won’t do anything until 7:00PM-4:00 AM because it’s peak performance hour

- great at finding other people’s stuff, great at losing their own

- respond to your questions like a CIA agent, you’re on a need to know basis 

- but also will randomly spill all their secrets at 3 AM

- when someone says they’re friends w/ them they respond either like 1) “we’re friends?” *confusion* or 2) “we’ve been in love since we met” 

- their good friends know who their crush is before they know

- text you immediately but often forget you exist if you don’t constantly remind them (it’s okay, they forget they exist)

- love you lots but are also trying not to be too attached

- kinda nice but also analyzing your every move and storing it in their mental bank 

- they will remember really specific things about you and will either use this to tell when you’re lying or to get you great birthday presents

- don’t trust you but supposedly they should give people the benefit of the doubt

- if you insult them, they will look at you blankly because they’re trying to figure out if you meant that as an insult, if they care about you, and if they care at all

- competitive but unmotivated at the same time

- play hard, play hard some more, continue to play, work non-stop for 22 hrs.  until something is perfect, never work again
