Story Time With INTP #5

The true joy in life is to be a force of fortune instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

George Bernard Shaw (via mr-entj)

THEY’RE BACK!

Do you think INFPs are the type to get offended the most? Or generally that it's an Fi thing?

I think FPs are more honest and open about being offended. When the other types are offended (truly offended– not annoyed) they tend to react in distinctly different ways that aren’t inherently obvious to the naked eye, trends generally include:

High Fi (INFP, ISFP, ENFP, ESFP): Expression

Offended high Fi tends to be outspoken because they know where they stand on issues, they know what they believe is right or wrong, and they know how they feel about people who cross that line. 

High Fe (ENFJ, ESFJ, INFJ, ISFJ): Exclusion

Offended high Fe resorts to social exclusion a la Mean Girls. If someone is grossly inappropriate they tend to scold and then minimize exposure to that person by doing things like disinviting them to events, ignoring them when in direct contact, or just plain avoiding them altogether. High Fe also tries to stop the offensive person in question from infiltrating their social circles and influencing their friends.

Low Fi (ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, ISTJ): Aggression

Offended low Fi will bury you in facts and counterarguments, possibly toss in personal insults, and then promptly dismiss you as an idiot whose intelligence can’t be salvaged with prolonged conversation by shutting you down and shutting you out.

Low Fe (INTP, ISTP, ENTP, ESTP): Passive Aggression

Offended low Fe likes to troll (harass) which is a form of passive aggression because it’s an indirect form of hostility. They’ll come back again and again until the other person is worn out. The point of this reaction is that low Fe doesn’t want to reveal they’re actually offended but they want to inflict on the offending person the same hostility they received.

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

The MBTI types apologize

Lolol

Oh yeah

MBTI as Things My Professors Have Said

ESFP: “Uh… schwa!”

ESTJ: *pause* (in Russian accent) “Oh, your handwriting is very bad!”

ENTP: “You’ll notice that I walk across the grass rather than the sidewalk as I go to class, because sidewalks are a social construct, and I don’t want to be tangled in that.”

ENFJ: “I’m teaching so many classes this semester, I don’t know what we’re supposed to be talking about.”

ISTJ: “Take it up with administration, I don’t have time.”

INTJ: “Students keep asking me all these questions, and I get to the point where I just want to yell, ‘It’s in the syllabus!’.”

INFJ: “First of all, calculators are like cheating.”

INFP: “The bastards at MLA keep changing the rules on me, so keep in mind that I, also, am now learning how to cite sources.”

ISFP: “If you think it’s art, then it’s art, and all art is valid. Welcome to the humanities department!”

ISTP: “That was…. That was genius! Why didn’t I think of that?”

ISFJ: “So basically, just be nice to each other!”

ENFP: “I don’t use the podium because it’s easy to fall on.”

ESTP: “Confidence is sexy, it’s how I met my wife.”

ESFJ: “I’ll tell you where to find super cheap textbooks, but the dean can never know.”

ENTJ: “Stop paraphrasing the textbook, I’m getting bored.”

INTP: *wanders through hallway banging random auto parts together* “Wow, the acoustics in here are amazing! Listen to that!”

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

Si: Quite in touch with information I’ve gained in the past. My memory is very strong and I’m constantly comparing what I experience in the present to things I’ve experienced in the past. I’m a traditionalist

who…

but many of my faults come from…

INFERIOR FUNCTION:

Fe: Not being very empathetic or sociable and not fully understanding how to properly act in some social situations.

Fi: Being too objective and not being able to foresee what feelings certain things can provoke in myself and others.

Te: Being reluctant to ignore my personal values and consider objective measurements of value and achievement.

Ti: Placing too much value on my own and other peoples’ feelings and not enough on objectivity and rationality.
