INTP - Introverted intuition thinking percieving
If you're here on this page, first off, I'd like to Thank You for checking out different parts of my website! This part of the site is completely BIASED AS HELL so swallow everything with a grain of salt.
What kind of intp am i?
Well, obviously we all have our qualities as people and the possibility of people actually fulfilling a category without some broader generalizations is quite small. Possible, but unlikely.
Basically, you should google what an INTP is in a nutshell to compare, but think of them like this:
1. they judge with logic
2. they have feelings, but suppress it for one reason or another
3. they understand feelings and thoughts of others as logical processes rather than mystical, in-explainable beliefs, yet keep a very faint sense of faith or at least desire for idealism
4. they think ALOT so they can go on tangents or be silent in the corner for a few hours pondering, and be oblivious to the world around them.
As for me, in a nutshell I'm an INTP who can act like ENTP (for conversing), judge like an INTJ (when forced to) and when I feel my human morality urges (very rarely), I'm an INFP.
I'm one of those Anti-Hero type people or Lovable Rogues in the INTP category. I'm not gung-ho on being virtuous or holding morals because that to me is arrogance as well.
My alignment is True Neutrality.

Misunderstands? maybe?
So I read some descriptions from other sites about INTPs.
"Unemotional"
well, true and false to the definition provided by google. We don't show strong emotions, that's true, but I think most people misinterpret unemotional for not having emotions. Depending on the definition people are using for the word "Unemotional," it can make or break your fit to the word.
So are we unemotional? To the implied definition, we do have feelings. We just suppress them. INTPs are sensitive to their emotions so being hurt emotionally can be more detrimental when approaching a similar situation again. Personally I've had detrimental experiences and they still somewhat influence me today. Things that happened as a child, those "child can be cruel" experiences definitely has scarred me in a way I can't be who I was if I wasn't scarred, but then again, I'm content with who I am now so it's all right.
"Arrogant and Narcissistic"
Maybe externally we seem arrogant and narcissistic, but internally we can be quite modest. I mean, there's a difference between being confidence and certain vs. just being full of one self through seeing others as inferior. If I know I can do something particularly well, I won't downgrade myself but maybe to others may be arrogant, but I'm not being arrogant just because I'm not being excessively humble.
For example; I'm excessively advance in mathematics. I'm not boasting that I'm the BEST at mathematics, but I'm telling you by definition I've taken more mathematics classes than the average person. If you take that as arrogance, then it's your own nerves and preference.
When I know I can't do something, I try to improve, but if I cannot or if someone else is better significantly at it, then I'll leave it up to them to do whatever they're good at.
Most things, or at least I try to think, are matter of fact and logical. Now just because I'm logical doesn't mean I don't long for belief and faith, but when it comes laying down the facts on the table when needed, I'll be realistic for I am a realist.
"Attachment to People? Thoughts about others?"
For me, I don't make any certainties and sometimes none at all when I meet people. I don't think negatively about them, but I also don't think positively about them. I have to observe more of them to consider if I clash or work well with them and I accept that I have my preferences as a person to determine my bias.
I don't think people are flawed as in there's something wrong with them, but rather they have a trait that I do not work well with. I'd rather say people are different and work differently than me than say they're flawed.
As for attachment to people, I'll be honest, I don't have much of attachment that can be expressed through strong emotions or actions. Some people need company or the gossip of others as friends, some need the strong emotional connection to be friends, and there are people like me who like others, but aren't as expressive with attachment. If a friend told me they didn't want to be friends anymore of course I'd be sad and ask them why, but that'd only be my way of making for certain they really don't want to be my friend anymore. After that, I'd respect their wish and if I ever encountered them again, I'd act like a normal person or acquaintance. I think about them and wonder, but I won't be the one to be in denial that I won't accept not being their friend anymore. My feelings about others is that,
Friends come into your life for a reason, then leave when it's done.
One of my friends said it was kinda sad to think that no one is truly there for you, but to me, I don't think of it as sad. Being able to meet people is sufficient enough that even though saying goodbye to friends is painful. It's a necessity in order to feel happiness there is sadness, but how strong you are to continue that cycle is up to each individual.
"If I was an anime character..."
If I had a choice to be in an anime, I'd be the nomadic character who is always on the move, experiencing different things and continue on. My fighting style would definitely be more of a passive or silent type like a thief because I'm just not an outwardly aggressive person by nature, but if I had to do it, I would.
I really respect Balsa from Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit because she's such a strong character and on many levels, I can connect with her taste and decisions.
