Both of these personality types are regarded as insensitive robots or logical programmers
since they have very little idea how to govern their social connections or have romantic
encounters. INTJs and INTPs are one of the hardest pairs to understand, and because they
are both intuitive, they are frequently confused for one another. Because they can appear similar
on the surface, it can be difficult to tell them apart: solitary, mysterious, and someone
who is not easily persuaded by authority, according to initial impressions. They are
also quite intelligent and may fit in well with any group. You might suppose that having
or not having a packed and filthy desk has something to do with flexibility or structuralism.
But it's not that simple, and the situation becomes even more confusing when you're right
on the dividing line between structuralism and flexibility. To make it even more confusing,
they do share 3 out of 4 personality preferences, however, they do not share any cognitive functions
whatsoever. Their judging and perceiving preferences arent the only things that don't align.

Starting us off and number 9 on today’s list is INTPs are Thinkers First, INTJs are
Intuitives First.
Introverted Intuition is the dominating mental process of INTJs. Internal data analysis and
categorization are considerably less important to them than seeing underlying meanings, patterns,
and long-term visions. When they can visualize the future and analyze what is most likely
to happen, they are in a state of flow.
Introverted Thinking is the major mental process of INTPs. They are more at ease in logical
analysis and complicated problem-solving environments. They thrive on solving puzzles, organizing
facts, and refining knowledge to obtain the most accurate truth. While they enjoy imagining
possibilities for the future, the logical analysis will be their primary activity.
Number 8 today is their Compatibility with change
INTJs cannot easily accept change because they have a strong desire to follow specific
systems. INTPs adapt to new changes as soon as they can aggregate their minds. Change
can be very exciting for INTPs. This personality type is usually flexible and willing to take
smart risks. ... But as introverts, INTPs need time to process change before responding.
They want to think about change and all its consequences before boarding the ship.
Long-term planning is a gift for the INTJ personality type. INTJs enjoy playing with
a new idea or possibility, so change can be exciting for them. They also enjoy the challenge
that change creates - it gives them something new to discover, a new goal or vision for
the future to realize. But don’t expect an INTj to change without good reason or solid
evidence to do so.
Next up and number 7 on our list of differences between INTJ and INTP is INTPs get their hunches
from objective data, while INTJs get their hunches from "out of nowhere."
An INTJ can have an "aha!" moment while showering in the morning. they’ll get out of the shower,
walk over to their computer, jot down their thoughts, analyze them, and then try to figure
out how they arrived at their conclusion.
An INTP will sit down to evaluate a large amount of data. They see a lot of possibilities
and ideas and analyze them all to see which ones are the most viable.
INTPs' ideas and insights can usually be linked back to an object, idea, or theory, but INTJs'
premonitions and insights seem to come "out of the blue." As a result, an INTPs extraverted
intuition is referred to as "objective" or, induced by the object, while an INTJs introverted
intuition is referred to as "subjective" which is triggered by the subject.
Coming in at the number 6 spot today is INTJs prefer a well-organized external environment.
INTPs Desire a Well-Organized Internal Environment
Extraverted Thinking is a process used by INTJs. This means they enjoy logically organizing
and structuring their surroundings. They prefer that everything has a home, that everything
is organized into the appropriate categories and procedures, and that everything is streamlined
and efficient. They are normally comfortable guiding and delegating, yet they may believe
they can handle things better on their own at times.
Introverted Thinking is the method used by INTPs. They are frequently unconcerned about
the state of their surroundings. They want their inner world to be well-ordered. They
try to categorize thoughts, ideas, theories, and facts into the most specific mental categories
possible. When they receive new information, all they want to know is where to store it
in their heads. They are less interested in the outside world, are more internally focused,
and despise being in charge of people or delegating.

Starting our top 5 huge differences between INTJs and INTPs is INTJs have a direct approach.
INTPs appear to be quite flexible.
Thinking and sensing are directed outwardly by INTJs. However, INTPs direct their feelings
and intuition outwardly. As a result, INTJs have a tendency to speak in a clear, rational,
and frank manner. They are usually self-assured in their beliefs and positions, and like a
good discussion or challenge.
INTPs are intuitive and emotional people who emphasize their feelings. They are more at
ease discussing ideas, hypotheses, alternatives, and new perspectives than stating definitively
that they are correct. In fact, an INTP finds it much easier to point out what is incorrect
than what is true. Because they see so many different perspectives on everything, the
truth can appear murky to them. INTPs aren't afraid to be suspicious and question things,
but they take longer to come to conclusions since they think about things more.
Next up and number 4 today is When they are stressed, INTJs indulge. While INTPs emote.
INTJs and INTPs will appear more true-to-type than usual during regular times of stress.
They'll both become more distant and focused on studying the situation, either intuitively
or analytically.
When overwhelmed, INTJs may go into an introverted intuition-introverted feeling "loop" and take
things personally, becoming reclusive and focused on abstract scenarios. INTPs may fall
into an introverted thinking-introverted sensing loop, where they become obsessed with evaluating
facts and recalling past experiences.
When faced with extreme or persistent stress, however, INTJs and INTPs have clearly different
reactions.
When INTJs are facing pressure, they become engrossed in sensory activities or pleasures.
This can include overeating, drinking excessively, over-exercising, or obsessing over small aspects
of their surroundings.
When INTPs are experiencing stress, they become emotional and insecure in ways that are out
of character for them. They have a tendency to lose sight of their normal detached, analytical
viewpoint. They are prone to taking things personally and are concerned that others detest
or despise them.
Kicking off our top 3 today is when their thinking is challenged INTJs are uninterested
in what other people think while INTPs become annoyed.
Meeting objective goals with their extroverted thinking and adhering to their own value system
is important to INTJs. If others disagree with them, they can usually dismiss it because
the proof is in the results. They'll demonstrate that they're correct through their actions,
demonstrating that their strategy works. They aren't very concerned with social acceptance
because extraverted feeling, which is the function most concerned with social input,
isn't one of their core functions.
INTPs develop and refine inner systems in order to comprehend the environment and construct
their own "mental blueprint" for how everything works together. They desire to put their knowledge
to good use by generating ideas using their extroverted intuition and making things better
for others because of their extroverted feeling. When people disagree with them, though, they
become irritated because they want favorable social input because extroverted feeling is
one of their primary four functions. Because their knowledge is so internalized and nuanced,
they have a tougher time expressing their thoughts and solutions than INTJs.
In the runner up spot is Applying a change actively as opposed to passively
If there is a problem, the INTJs immediately intervene and enter the field to fix the problem.
They evaluate and decide on possible options - advantages and disadvantages. There is no
chaos or controversy. They are purposeful and success-oriented and work hard to achieve
extremely high standards.
At the same time, the INTPs will expand the problem so much that they will return to where
the problem started and find many ways to solve the problem through brainstorming and
over-thinking. They are known as the silent insurgents in the MBTI system and will find
their way to pave the way for success.
Topping our list and the number 1 difference between INTJ and INTP is INTJ and INTP Interactions
The INTP and INTJ types are introverted, intuitive, and thoughtful, preferring to work independently
of others, as well as being forward-thinking and making rational decisions. INTJs love
to plan, but INTPs do not necessarily like to plan for the very distant future.
In order to communicate effectively with each other, INTJs should strive to be more receptive
to new ideas from INTPs and to listen more enthusiastically to their suggestions. INTPs
should also try to be more stable and predictable. They need to become more aware of the systems
and procedures, especially for INTJs.
The INTP personality type is adaptable in the workplace and has a playful mind. They
help INTJs learn flexibility and acceptance of the change. The INTJ personality type is
highly disciplined, motivated, and helps INTPs stay on track and achieve their goals.
Both have amazing traits that are similar, yet the contrasts stand out because they are
so obvious when they coexist. These personality types are people that share
the trait of success as well as certain other characteristics. The differences between INTJs
and INTPs, however, are more obvious than their similarities.
