Calling all INTP's
This thread is especially for women INTP's but if you are a male and would like to contribute, please do.
So, how long does it usually take you to end up stirring some kind of pot wherever you go?For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 1:18

Re: Calling all INTP's
Online or real life?
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

Re: Calling all INTP's
I'm INTJ (close, but as you well know, not INTP).
My husband is an INTP and stirs up the pot by softly making indirect digs. I always get the message, and sometimes it's really annoying.
I don't have the talent or intellect to respond in kind. So I've found that the best reaction is complete transparency (fully express my feelings about what he has said), and a sincere attempt to understand why he said what he said.
Sometimes, he even apologizes. Now, the subtle digs are mostly about other people and what they say.

Re: Calling all INTP's
I'm an INTP, and I generally don't find myself stirring up trouble, as much as I might occasionally want to.
I do, however, have a tendency to attempt to look for opportunities to engage in riposte.
"If God has given [his people] such joy now, joy in their faith, in their hope, in love, in the truth of his scriptures, what kind of joy is he preparing for them at the end? If he feeds them like this on the journey, how will he feast them in their homeland?"--Augustine of Hippo
"It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people."--John Wesley
"Wherever men are still theological there is still some chance of their being logical."--G. K. Chesterton
