As an INTJ i will omit when i am wrong and or arrogant.
Woah.

lul INTJs more arrogant for sure. It's because we have a greater propensity to get impatient and annoyed. Sometimes it's legit superior knowledge + impatience, sometimes it's not necessarily superior knowledge but just a lot of ego stroking. Emotionally immature INTJs tend to try to argue that they are correct, and do a really good job picking apart and rationalizing an argument, even if the argument is fail. I've seen some INTJs go so far as to start demeaning the other person, imposing a particular "frame" around an argument, and asking some very rhetorical questions to try to get the upper hand, although this is rare. Most INTJs are not manipulative like this.
More emotionally mature INTJs focus more on actually being correct.
I feel it's more that INTP is "you can't be right because did you consider this and this and this and this [ad finitum et ad nauseam]?" whereas the INTJ is more "but you can't be right because I am right".
i think this is true. I make sure i speak on topics i have done the research on. If i don't know it I won't speak on it. Where as the intp i know is annoying in that he speaks on stuff be doesn't know about and its like he thinks he can do so because he's smart. Not to mention he tells me in wrong when he knows nothing on the subject and i do. I patiently explain why he's wrong or i ignore him because i just see him as arrogant.

Yea you guys are super logical I guess but sometimes you equally as illogical. One intp I know told me his wifes stomach would get upset because she would drink milk on an empty stomach to gain weight. I told him to tell her to drink milk after her meals so her stomach would be full and maybe it wouldn't be so bad. He flat out said it was illogical. I guess in his eyes the point of drinking milk was to quench her thirst before eating but all I saw was the end result of her gaining weight. I think he was completely trying to bullshit by calling what I said illogical and I thought it was illogical for him to say that.
well as an intp I definitely only talk on subject I know about. And if I don't know I've got google on my phone.
The INTP's you know must suck lol.
Even on a subject I know sometimes I look at it again to make sure what I'm saying is right, and then even when I do I never make it a definite statement. I'll say something like "i'm pretty sure" or "i'm not positive but"
So not only do I always try to only talk on things i know but even then I have to recheck myself and unless I'm reading right from something I'm still not confident in my remembrance lol
