In this video we will take a look at the difference between the INTJ and the INTP personality
types and hope that you will be able to tell in which category you fall.
There is still a lot of confusion when it comes to these types of personalities among
people.
The Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving (INTP) personality type and the Introverted,
Intuitive, Thinking, Judging (INTP) personality types are regarded as being similar this is
not actually true.
In fact, because they have a tendency to think alike, people believe that they are similar
but this is far from the truth.
These two personality types are much alike, but today we will be looking at the difference
between the two.
Lets start of by looking at the strengths of INTPs and INTJs The INTP are known to be
private people.
They enjoy alone time.
This gives them the opportunity to think about important matters and how the world works.
Because they enjoy their own company, they have more than enough time to come up with
solutions to their problems.
Their main focus should be on their inner thoughts instead of wasting all their energy
on what's going on in the world around them.
INTPs have a small circle of friends.
They would prefer to spend their time with those they love and share a special bond with.
This personality type is very reserved.
They are flexible in their decision-making and can easily come up with new and fresh
ideas.
They normally look at the bigger picture in all situations instead of wasting their energy
on small and insignificant details.
INTPs are always open to new ideas because they do not like to feel as if they are limited
when it comes to planning or doing daily tasks.
They are extremely independent.
They do not like to follow a routine.
They will complete tasks at the last minute simply because they get easily bored.
The INTP thrives on logic.
You can almost say that they have an obsession with being logically correct.
The INTJ, on the other hand, are patient people.
They have a vision of how things should be and how they should work.
They are determined to achieve the goals they set for themselves.
Because their minds are also busy at work, they may appear a little detached from people
or the world.
INTJs are known to be perfectionists.
They like to pay attention to even the slightest of details.
Because they are rational thinkers, they apply it almost to everything they do in life.
They are considered to be loyal people and show great affection towards their loved ones.
They are certainly the ones with initiative.
They think on their feet in troubled situations.
INTJs have high expectations in this world.
They too are very independent and determined in life.
If they have set a goal for themselves, you can rest assured their determination will
drive them to succeed.
INTJS are also curious people.
Their curiosity is what keeps them informed about what is going on around them.
They have good listening skills and are confident and hard-working human beings.
Still unsure where you fit in?
Let's take a closer look!
Here are some weaknesses of INTJs and INTPs INTJS can come across as arrogant people.
They have a difficult time expressing their emotions.
It is difficult to tell what they are thinking or feeling because they are so good at hiding
their emotions.
They are very judgmental.
They will judge a person or a situation without knowing all the facts.
Because they spend so much time in their own company, they are clueless about what is happening
around them.
Their biggest and most obvious weakness is their emotions.
Because they find it difficult to express themselves, they don't show emotions easily
and they find it difficult to deal with others' emotions too.
INTPs are often shy and may find it difficult to socialise with others.
When it comes to others, especially their loved ones, their lack of response to others'
needs may be mistaken for a lack of care.
Lets look at how INTPs and INTJs are in the workplace.
Because we are all unique, we differ from one another.
In the workplace, it is deemed important to be a team player.
However, when someone seems to be doing things in a different way than we do, we intend to
see them as the enemy.
The INTP, with its unemotional nature, will make a great team player as their decisions
in the workplace will be based on logic and objective, whereas the INTJ thrives on problem
solving.
They love an intellectual challenge.
The INTJ will thrive in the workplace because of their independence.
They will be able to complete their task on their own.
If an INTJ were to be a leader at work, they prefer to work with people that are similar
to them.
INTPs are known for their versatility and open-mindedness in the workplace.
They are likely to teach INTJs about the advantages of being adaptable and open to change, which
can be helpful to INTJs.
Workplaces are better off with INTJs because of their organization and perseverance.
They are highly motivated, and INTPs can benefit from their assistance as they work toward
accomplishing their goals.
The personalities of INTPs and INTJs People's personalities play an enormous role in determining
the factors that drive people, the values they have, and the opinions they have on the
world.
Next, we will discuss how each individual is likely to interact with others, as well
as how others may perceive them.
Because INTPs can sometimes come across as outspoken due to the way they communicate,
this is not the case at all.
They are very private people who will often only speak if they have something they need
to get off their chest.
Because the INTJ views the need for emotional connection as unnecessary, developing a close
relationship with one would be challenging at first because everything in their worldview
has a rational explanation.
Their participation typically takes the form of intellectual debates with other individuals
that have the same way of thinking.
INTPs and INTJs in relationships INTPs have a tough time processing emotions because they
are, at their core, rational, analytical, and objective.
They have no time for anything that they consider to be "fanciful."
They are not going to be persuaded by someone pleading with them emotionally or using the
word "please."
Because INTJs have difficulty expressing their emotions, they may not be the best at forming
lasting relationships due to the fact that they do not express themselves freely or know
how to deal with others' emotions, and this tends to come off as the person being insensitive
to others' feelings.
The INTP, on the other hand, prefers to have their own space in a relationship.
This will allow them to explore their own interests and thoughts.
For them, it's important to have someone who recognizes their creativity and problem-solving
skills, as well as their need for independence in the relationship.
INTJ personality types are people that are extremely caring.
You may not notice this from a first impression, but once you get to know them, this will be
a characteristic you will come to appreciate about them.
While it may take a while to earn their trust, they are the ones that will take care of you.
They protect the ones that are in their circle, and friendships that are formed with these
personality types can sometimes last a lifetime.
Because of their logical and creative nature, INTPs are often underestimated when it comes
to being good friends.
INTPs have a strong desire to be good friends, and they go out of their way to do so.
Many of the people closest to them can benefit greatly from their many positive characteristics.
