| What you put for "INTp uncovered"? Do you think this describes INTps? INTps view most relationships as partnerships. They bond with others on a superficial level easily but when they don't need those people anymore, they cut ties immediately. This is not to be taken as a sign of being myopic, it's just that INTps know most people they meet in life are very easily replaceable so they won't even bother staying touch with them. -- disillusioned. |

| A19 lets therefore call this internet thing unusual, for it is an un-natural state of waste actual...when it comes to human activity -- @sirac |
| A20 so A18, what will we design. this is becoming a tipped cultural phenomenon, for here we have delight, but evermore in the social world, the existence of N and P types become more precarious (why...will this constitute an economic law of change in the near future... is society about to balance itself out again very violently) because in all honesty, where it not for personality psychologies, i would have lost it as an individual -- @sirac |
| A21 I'm an INTP, and I think Cathy's experience is similar to mine. I treat most people I know as aquantences... I treat a few people I know very well as close friends but it would be very hard for me to burn my bridges with them, although I have burned some of my bridges in the past, it wasn't easy but once I made the decision I never looked back. I think this has something to do with the hidden agenda. Considering that the hidden agenda is related to a weakness, INTPs really want to love others, and b/c trust is an essential part of love, in order to love others we must be able to trust others, and INTPs have a tendancy to only trust very few. We are very private. -- Anonymous |
| A22 I don't really care about the superficial relationships I make, like college mates etc and I can cut ties very brutally fast, but I treasure my real friendships and my family, although I find it hard to express it. I don't even express it actually, and they sorta think I am cold although I care very much about them. But for relationships to work for me in the first place, they must understand that I won't be able to express any touchy-feelyness and see my efforts to keep in touch in a different manner. -- Kiri |

| A23 I'm an INTP and I used to cut ties (burn bridges) with people in my life. The reason I think INTP's do this (mainly with romantic attachments. Platonic attachments RARELY hit us in a place where we feel vulnerable.) is that we generally are open to any possibility. As long as that relationship is "open" our feelings are open. We need to cut ties to cut our feelings off. Otherwise, we will never get over the relationship. I've gotten better at this because I usually tell the person that I need a lot of time before I can be friends but that I want to remain on good terms. I usually tell them that I will contact them when I'm ready. It has worked well and they usually are very understanding. -- Anonymous |
| A24 The INTP and ENTP uncovered profiles on this site should be swapped. Gulenko's profiles suffer from a similar problem, as they are inconsistent with Socionics' original profiles, functional definitions, and subsequent quadra values. -- Anonymous |
| A25 I'd like to add that people who see others primarily as "tools" for their use may be suffering from narcissism, and I suspect that many INTPs out there fall into that category. Being an older INTP and having rid myself of the demons of a bad childhood I've experienced first hand the tendency to use others in that way. At this point in life I have a few long-time friendships and many casual acquaintances that I'm friendly with, but it will go no further than that. Recently I had to let a long-time friend go when this person crossed the line of what I felt was appropriate behaviour. The cutting of this tie was necessary and easily accomplished, and I can assure you I won't look back. However, when a deep emotional bond forms, such as with a mate, breaking a tie can be extremely painful, as indicated in some of the resoponses I've read. I suppose, to put it technically, if the bond is merely on the N and T level then it's easy to let go, but if F is involved it is traumatic. -- Cat Daddy |
| A26 For me as an INTP, I don't use people too much as although i have no feelings, i believe that these people have feelings and those must be respected. But once its over, its over, and I'll look for someone to fill that gap. Its not that we don't love you, its just that yeah... we can find replacements, so although we do TRY to keep in touch and stuff, it gets hard. -- Anonymous |
| A27 I do break ties with people rather easily, but it's not because i have no use for them. It's just because there is no point. People do not come together for no reason (my opinion entirely-may vary from INTP to INTP) and when the objective is fulfilled, i do not find it necessary to maintain relations the way they were in the past. Of course, meeting them again will bring back memories and I do feel good if I meet my classmates from school once in a while, but i do not crave to meet them. On the whole, I as an INTP, do not think that people are merely tools I must use to get the job done in a team assignment. -- Anonymous |
| A28 I am intp and say that is very correct and have to admit that I have looked at people around me in exactly that way. However, if this is a person I have for whatever reason allowed myself to be vulnerable with had a positive outcome over and over and spend a great deal of time with and they didn't get on my nerves I would have a harder time letting them go as they are not easily replaced. -- Jennifer |
