I always hear people complaining (whether it be serious or in jest) about both of these types being "arrogant, cold, emotionless, full of themselves, dismissive, etc." amongst other vulgar descriptions.



So, there has got to be some semblance of truth, right? Maybe?

If both INTPs and INTJs are giant assholes, how do they differ on being assholes? What are the different asshole tactics that either type tends to employ in everyday situations?

I will not answer such a pathetically worded question posted by none other than a lowly Ti-dominant accusing me - ME!- and my brethren - the almighty, all-foreseeing Ni-dominants - of being arrogant!

Come back when you develop your better functions!

Uh huh. That's a cool story bro. Generalizations, stereotypes, subjectification and logical fallacies in a post that short. I am impressed.
I'd say don't let the haters get to you and chill, be true to yourself and stay righteous in your own way.
However it is almost cute how you eat up all those stereotypes.

Haha, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I think INTJs tend to feel that they perceive and thus 'know' everything. INTPs don't do much 'perceiving' in the MBTI sense but feel they know exactly where you went wrong. And then jab you in your weak spot. Sometimes, people think that's mean :P. But they left themselves open!

You left out the ENTP's! Those guys (and gals) can be pretty full of themselves!

No. You are an asshole.

No. You are an asshole.

No, we both are giant assholes.
Get your details straight, bro.

I'm not arrogant; I am just that good.
