Oh, I'd agree that INTP's tend to have emotions... just not the ones you'd like them to have, or would expect them to have. They seem to overreact to insignificant expectations and can be oblivious to glaringly obvious ones, from what I can tell. And I think this improves with effort, over time. (This can apply to many other Introverted types as well.)
Anyway, in response to nocturne on overlooking local customs: I've found that as long as you try to obey social expectations that are common across a large area (such as a state or country), people are more forgiving if a more local or recent thing is overlooked at first. They know that it might be unusual enough for some not to be aware of it. This is even more likely if you look really apologetic and say you didn't know that was expected. Very few people are rigid enough to be that unforgiving.
