Question #1189510223Tuesday, 11-Sep-2007
Category: INTj INTp j/p Theory Socionics
Can MBTI INTJs be socionics INTps and vice versa ? I am INTP in both (even though i test as INTj) but I have seen MBTI INTs claiming to be the opposite type in socionics. Is it possible or are they just confused? -- Anonymous

A1 Types are not objects, they are concepts. It all depends on what you mean by INTj or INTJ. If you say that INTJ is NiTe (according to MBTI) then it would be an INTp in Socionics, because INTp in Socionics is also NiTe. However if you say that INTJ is Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging then it would also be an INTj in Socionics, because INTj is too Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging. Does it make sense? -- Admin
A2 This is true. Recall that MTBI does not indicate much about type relations. In converting over to socionics, you would have to convert based on functional analysis AND type relations. Both INTps and INTjs have strong and frequent usage but for the INTps it's an unconscious phenomenon that assists the lead . For INTjs it's the opposite ( assists ). -- Anonymous

A3 I am mainly interested in intertype relationships, though I don't know much about socionics typology. Rephrase: Can MBTI INTPs have the socionics INTj type relationships and vice versa? -- Anonymous
A4 There is a reason AND is capitalised in A2 response, because it is important. You have to consider functional analysis AND type relationship, not OR type relationship. So there is no simple answer to your question, you first have to know which MBTI INTP you are TiNe or Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving, apparently they are not the same. -- Admin
A5 i did a test once where, answering some questions and others that i was typed as INTP and than INTJ. I realized that the questions i answered to 'become INTJ' where idealized modes of activity i have gotten right to perform... like strictness on time, activity planning etc. But thats only in socionics tests, i know i am definitely INTP. (that sounds the same as your thing,..MBTI INTP scoring INTJ in socionics tests,... well i remained a socionics INTP, and so a bit of your question is answered, some of the INTJ Positive Scoring questions are actually what an INTP idealizes) -- Anonymous
