Super helpful content here. The INTP starts with logic and makes abstractions whereas the INTJ starts with abstractions and uses logic to achieve their abstract visions. Thanks for sharing.

Your talking to the point is ON POINT 🖤 no boring intro, just FACTS 🙏🏻

[s.u.]

As an INTJ I have noticed that about myself regarding knowledge only being temporary and tendency to discard it after its done being used so I have made sure as I learn to record what I have learned in detail so if I have to go back and use the information again I would not have to relearn it. Its particularly important with very large technical projects.

Yeah. I have no clue which one I am and it's stressing me out. I agree with a little bit of both and I've taken the test 8 times to find out. My results have been 4 for INTP and 4 for INTJ.

I'd also add that while both types like a degree of external order, INTJs prioritise this far more than the INTP, who conversely is more concerned with the logical order of their internal world. The former type is also hyper specific and tends to manifest all these ideas in reality like you mention, whereas the INTP seems to enjoy pursuing a vast amount of things at any one time and is as you say more willing to deconstruct and reconstruct their own understanding.

What's your opinion on different forms of intelligence, and have you ever tried placing this within a Jungian continuum? Often the INTJ exhibits what is in my mind a radically different 'kind' of intelligence than the INTP, even within the confines of intellectualism.

I absolutely agree with the INTJ and INFJ having similar levels of detachment! Great stuff as usual.

Nice. Can you talk a little more about how intj’s and intp’s function in stressed situations? And possibly how they could get out of those blockade loops?

[BlairWaldorf]

Can you do ISFP/INTJ or ENTP/INTJ? Love the channel 👍🏽

[Red.Butterfly]

This is probably the most understandable comparison I've seen. Good job

Do any other teenage INTPs (and probably INTJs too) find school boring and silly but love to pursue their own interests and almost obsessively learn their own thing out of school (or multiple things maybe in case of INTPS), gain lots of knowledge and progress in that, and prefer to be thought of as smart in regards to that while not really caring if they don't get top grades? Eg creative writing, online business, language learning, or just researching random areas of interest online! (And questioning the illogical school system!)

I appreciate this. When I correlate my behaviors to your analyses it confirm my INTJ-ness. Thank you!

I like to think that INTJ's knowledage absorbtion works like computer RAM (Random access memory). The memory is rapidly filled with data, opened applications etc and then completely discarded from memory freeing up the memory and allowing the memory to be rapidly filled again. I have noticed this on myself when learning things. Very high obsessive drive towards specific topic and then discard 95% of that knowledage and keep 5% that yielded the best results and allowed me to accomplish what I want. This made me feel stupid many times because I didn't seem to remember things, but instead had "experience" and reference points to the lost knowledage to relearn it again if needed. Also I constantly envision ideas, but struggle a lot developing details for those ideas and as a result I dismiss the ideas altogether as useless because of that. I started to think that these things are some sort of defects of mine, but listening to this video gave me insight that not only there is a high probability I'm an INTJ, but also validated the way I think. I really enjoyed this video and organic explanation of these two types. Thanks Asura, subbed.

Wow now i'm really confused! It feels like in some i am intj and in some i am intp and in some both!
Can someone show me how to find out wich one am i? Give me advise?

INTJ woman here with an INTP male co-worker.
When we discuss General knowledge, we are complimentary like our brains are connected.
But when we are coding/programming together, we butt heads like two bulls stuck in a narrow corridor.
That said, we get ANY job done much faster and more efficiently than anyone ever could. :)

Thanks for making it clear again that i‘m an INTP. Lately i just felt a lot goal oriented and i‘m dressing less like i picked my clothes from the trash. But still INTP 🤷🏼‍♀️

[aju]

Your video is so well explained, thank you for this.

I was wondering if someone more knowledgeable could help me figure out if I an an INTJ or INTP. When I first learned about the Myers Briggs system, I was sure I was an INTJ I read a lot about them and their tendencies and trusted that the 16 personalities test was all knowing (lol). But now that I’ve looked into it a little more and watched some videos, I’m not so sure. I know I am definitely introverted, being situations with new people or large groups is exhausting for me. I am a very studious student, and I’m the annoying kid that raises there hand for literally every question, (we are aware we’re annoying, trust me). I would say I’m not an emotionally driven person, but I do have outbursts of emotions. As a perfectionist, if I don’t think I’ve gotten an answer right, or don’t know what to do on a quiz or test, it triggers an over dramatic response in me.... its pretty pathetic. I also seek to understand not only how to do something, but why it is the way it is. For example in math, I become frustrated if I learn a topic and don’t understand why it happens that way. I feel like I’m going to make mistakes If I don’t understand the fundamental framework behind things. I am also a fairly creative person. I draw a lot, and enjoy doing hyperrealism from references. I am not good at making original art, but I can copy someone’s pet from a photo well enough to sell them, (I do lol). Is this information useful for typing, or is there anything else that would be helpful? I know one youtube comment won’t definitively determine my type, but I just wanted some insight from someone other than myself due to biases and an attachment to the INTJ struggle lol.

[talkshh]

dude i love your videos so much, i was struggling to find a real intj youtuber

[jennahudson]

Thanks for the update. I saw your older video and made a comment on this topic on that video

[soraay]

Amazing video and very informative. This video makes it even easier for me to be absolutely sure I'm an NiTeFiSe :) I also love you mentioning the sacrifices we are able to make in order to persue a greater purpose. Thank you!

[fayea.]

Great video and content. Direct, quick, relevant, clear comparison.
