Just my observation.
I suspected this. *sigh*

The INTs seem most likely to try to figure out what to do in a social situation while looking like they have no idea what's going on. They'll be processing, but it doesn't look like they are, and to some people, appearance is everything.

I read that site. The only thing I could gather from it is that 'if you're unable to show empathy, 'normal' people decide that you have none at all,' (which sounds about right) but otherwise the whole argument seemed very disorganized and I could barely understand it.

I also think that they meant INTP, ISTJ, ISTP, and INFP, not INFJ, because they had already mentioned INFJ and no INFP and they'd mentioned 'introverted feeling' of the INFJ... and I have a feeling that's wrong.
