Did you know that in addition to MBTI type, you have other key personality functions?
These functions are crucial to understanding how you function in society,
and they're useful to know as a tool to help you learn more about yourself
and others. Today we’re going to look at the shadow functions and how they create the dark
side of an INTP personality type. This dark side represents the unconscious parts of our
psyche that you have less awareness of and control over. It hosts repressed, unwanted
and overlooked elements of your personality. If you are an INTP (logician/analyst) personality
type chances are that you have already experienced some dark side traits at least
once in your lifetime. You should undoubtedly be aware of your dark side since it will help in the
integration of your unconscious and conscious selves, allowing you to better design your life
and achieve personal growth. Here are 7 Disturbing Traits Of An INTP Dark Side
Number 1 - Coldness Because of their thinking function,
the INTP isn't as emotional as other types, which can be considered a flaw. This means
they may be completely unaware of their own and others' emotional states. It may result
in them damaging their relationships with others. When people tell an INTP something
personal and essential about yourself, they may not get the same reaction as
you would with others. They come out as cold and uninterested. Logicians have an emotional side,
but it's something they're still figuring out. They deal with reasoning more than emotions;
hence their emotions are undeveloped. People often feel neglected or disappointed with an INTP's
lack of feedback and interest in the conversation especially when they try
to open up to INTPs with personal information and vulnerability. Logicians often appear as entirely
detached with the focus on their thoughts and ideas and not on other people's feelings.
Number 2 - Emotional outburst
The INTP personality is usually calm and reserved, and they try to keep their emotions in check.
Their rational minds frequently ignore or minimize the importance of sentiments in their
decision-making. Because INTPs prioritize truth and accuracy at the top of their value hierarchy,
subjective feelings and emotional feedback will always fall behind. However, when they
are stressed or have their tolerance tested by irritable others, their repressed and possibly
subconscious emotional impulses can come to the surface. The INTP's rationale levee can break,
releasing a flood of emotionally charged expressiveness that is out of character for them.
All of the unpleasant emotions they've been holding in can be released in one fell swoop.
INTPs can become tyrannical and verbally assault and complain about other people's incompetence,
participating in contentious debates that they would otherwise avoid only to get even with
someone they disagree with. Because of their lower Fe, INTPs can take criticism personally
and feel marked out or mistreated by others, even when this isn't the case.
Number 3 - Self-Centeredness Unhealthy Introverted thinking can also manifest
as a total profoundness in INTPs own thoughts and interests, while depreciating everything else.
As a result, Logicians can be completely clueless to what other people consider
important, causing them to be offended by their seeming lack of interest or concern.
This can be harmless and accidental on the part of the INTP under normal circumstances,
but when hateful of someone, it can be extremely evident how unworthy of their
time INTP views them. INTPs may only speak to others when they are spoken to, and even then,
they may show little interest in conversing until they can flow into a topic that they
are interested in. When they start spewing all of their knowledge and insights, they can come across
as arrogant and condescending to those who say something inaccurate about a subject in which
they are well-versed. INTPs may be unaware of or unconcerned about the selfish effects
of their disparaging tone on others, particularly those who are uncertain about their intellect or
emotionally reactive to criticism. This is a very Disturbing Traits Of An INTP Dark Side.

Number 4 - Procrastination INTPs are often considered as lazy
individuals. However, they are not necessarily lazy, they are just big procrastinators. They
are so intelligent and always get the task done when they want to. However, they are most likely
overthinking every move. Self-doubt and fear of failure are common problems for INTPs. They are
mind wanderers who can't help themselves. This may make individuals hesitant to begin a project and,
as a result, appear unproductive. They may not be the best at school because they have
trouble concentrating, but they excel in other areas of their lives. This may appear to be a
negative quality of an INTP, especially given their intelligence and analytical abilities.
Number 5 - Romantic disability
Because of their lack of empathy, it's no wonder that the INTP may have difficulty
in relationships. They're introverts, and introverts want to spend a lot of time alone.
This can make friendships, sexual relationships, and even employment difficult to navigate. This is
why it is so important that the INTP should have a few people they can trust, as well as a few deep
bonds. Another essential aspect of the INTP dark side to be aware of is their fear of rejection. In
most circumstances, they would not make the first move as a result of this. They dislike short-term
relationships and prefer more steady, long-term ones. They value it when someone close to them can
assist them with their thoughts and creativity, however the INTP would most likely prioritize
themselves above others. They have very low level of empathy; thus, they don't understand
what their partners and friends are going through. If the importance of communication is neglected,
the INTP will never figure out what is wrong and how to repair the damaged relationships.
Number 6 - Stagnancy When INTPs neglect
their extraverted functions, particularly their tertiary Ne
which manifests in people having a desire to shake up their daily routine and explore the unknown,
they can become trapped in an introverted loop that lacks new perspectives. They may become
absorbed in a never-ending re-examination of past occurrences. Logicians may begin to stagnate and
become outcasts, unable or reluctant to leave their intellectual comfort zones and attempt
new things or explore alternative options. When this happens, INTPs might become highly fixated,
ruminating on topics all the time without seeking outside information or fresh experiences. They may
persuade themselves that all of the explanations can be found in their heads, only to become
trapped in a narrow and self-validating pattern of thought that does not get them very far.
Number 7 – Insolence
Despite their superior rationality and critical thinking abilities, INTPs might fall victim to
flawed logic when they are unaware of their own subjective prejudices. They can be dismissive of
other people's viewpoints due to intellectual conceit or even a lack of interest, especially
when it comes to people's sentiments. INTPs have a tendency to oversimplify and reductively reason,
resulting in incorrect conclusions based only on theoretical and speculative assumptions.
Logicians may take for granted that they have all the solutions to a problem when, in fact, they may
have neglected or dismissed other elements as unnecessary. Unhealthy Ti which determines the
decision-making process in INTPs might cause them to be unable to identify errors in their
own reasoning and dismiss anything unreasonable as "totally worthless." Others may be treated
like lab rats by Logicians in order to test the strength of their ideas in argument or as areas
of study in their human behavior analysis. This is a very Disturbing Traits Of An INTP Dark Side.
