[INTP] INTP as internet trolls?

[The Decline]

I recall seeing an MBTI thread posted on 4chan (yay i'm a newfag breaking rules 1 & 2 ) and the majority of the people there tested as INTP. Close seconds were ISTP and INFP surprisingly.

Yep, I tested this theory on a different chan (not telling) and it was mostly INTP, with some INTJs, and a handful of INFPs as well. Mostly male, obviously..

Is the INTP habit of saying thing simply for the purposes of the recipient's reaction really so wrong?

Doing things for the sole purpose of entertainment is never wrong

Behold the wonder of INTP ethics.

I'd prefer to rip off internet trolls' limbs off and throw the torso and head into a river than be one myself.

My early adventures on the Internet were me trolling chat rooms, and later on forums. It got old after a little while. I don't troll the way I used to, or really at all, aside from the occasional facetious posts I make from time to time.

Some would call it manipulation, and would not appreciate it. Interesting, considering that it is usually NTPs that scream bloody murder, and are genuinly outraged at the lack of consideration and the evil nature of the manipulation when the same form of entertainment is applied to them and their emotional triggers

we just need a bit more time (and a substantial slap) to fit in.

I prefer pedo baiting on Omegle, personally. Much more satisfying and hilarious.

See, this is why we mostly troll one another...

Interesting that when it's done on topics like love and flirting, it's supposedly social manipulation..I'd say you guys have your own version that's equally painful

I gotta admit, I love trolling.
