Tell me what INTP stereotypes you have heard of. This is in no way an attack on INTP's. This thread just gives awareness to the stereotypes of the INTP personality.

Here is my list of INTP stereotypes..



1.) 40 living at home in their parents basement. = AMAZING TYPE
2.) 40 year old virgin = PORNOGRAPHIC TYPE
3.) Socially deprived = WANDERING STAR
4.) Game Addicts = YEP!
5.) Atheist = NOPE ! PROBABLY EXISTENTIAL
6.) Geniuses = BOTTLE UP AND DON'T GO (INDUCTIVE LOGIC)
7.) Anti social = FRUSTRATED TYPE
8.) Perverts = NOPE, JUST
9.) Nerds = NOPE, DORKS OR OUTCASTS
10.) Computer experts

Each type can stereotype the Other so the views are subjective and put together by an INTJ. Who else would be so arrogant?

The usual accusation is LAZY TOAD

Lad, Stargate.

The movie, or the show? As a kid, I was obsessed with the movie.

Also, StarCraft was and is my favorite PC game, with the possible exception of the Diablo series.

It's ok though. Once we INT's realize that we don't have any social grace or ability, we concede and laugh it up. I'm indifferent to socialization now. I'm 26 though so maybe that helps. If I found this out at 19, I would of been solid. My current goal is to get a house with lots of land and conduct experiments of my creation. I will do this and it's far enough away from zoning codes etc., I will make the exterior look perfectly normal. Even have decoy furniture in the front. Inside, will be a labyrinth of madness nad laboratories.

We are also called Insular. I am fed up with it all. Mostly the Crazies ESFJ.

Well for stereotypes they're fairly accurate, I fit an awful lot. Don't like any 'star somethings' though. Antisocial, athiest nerd however sums me up nicely.

I seem to fit quite nicely into...I'd say...slightly more than half of the stereotypes that people have listed. I'm decently smart, I try to remain as much of a recluse as is practical, I can't see myself functioning well in a romantic relationship, I like math, and I have an unmabitious streak; those things are very true. However, I have somehow managed to escape being a nerd (probably in part because I don't have the curse of sub-average looks that befalls many a nerd), and I'm actually quite emotional. I wouldn't quite describe myself as "naive", either.

I'm not INTP but it'll be interesting to see which ones. I'll leave only the logical ones.

4.) Game Addicts
6.) Geniuses
7.) Anti social
8.) Perverts
10.) Computer experts

Those, and 9 would be true if you changed it from Nerd to Geek.

4. INTPs all love Star something (Trek, Wars etc)

Totally untrue IMHO

Space is where it's at. As an ENTP I've always wondered why INTPs limit themselves to stars :D They should be looking at all of space. Not just the pretty lights.

[Robatix]

Everyone knows The Last Starfighter (1984) was far superior and that isn't a "Star something" at all.

Marry the Pony Girl ESFJ

Lol, my girlfriend is the INTP. Any ESFJ's have an INTP mate?
I would really like your opinions of this union.

Thanks!
