You best be jokin'

well imagine an INTJ with a strong crush on an INTP. I've had personal experience and seen one strong example on this forum to back me up that "clingy" can be the result.

like I say though I think unhealthy INTJ's can go to both extremes. I've seen the "evil genius" type and the "emotional" type.

Hey that's me right? I agree, I'm pretty unhealthy mentally but I don't really show it so you probably couldn't tell if you met me in real life.

I just don't see an INTJ becoming clingy in such a situation. We generally hate clinginess, and blatant hypocrisy is not high on the list of virtues either. Even an unhealthy one would be much more inclined to play the hot n cold game to such a degree that the attraction is never revealed, out of fear. It sounds to me like this is either simply yet another case of a mistyped INTJ or just a person with severe personality disorder(s), rendering MBTI useless in any case.

Are you really an enfp? :D That was the most enfp thing I have ever seen. tcda be careful about the clingy description....it doesnt ring quite true...although maybe Ti/Fe sees it sort of that way...?

(INTJs like touch a lot-inferior Se-but only with very close others, thus cuddly-maybe, but not clingy)

I'd suggest first an unhealthy INTJ would use a shitload of Se and be Se-ish . Then they would progress to a beebe shadow entp state and be Ne-ish to get into mischief and be paranoid.


(Albeit I keep meeting INTJs who are using Ne productively in a transcedent manner...)

An unhealthy INTJ is that geek who secretly despises the world and never shows it just sits there in school and then one day goes ape shit and kills loads of people!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is bullshit. There is absolutely no correlation between being an INT and killing people. I would say extraverted feelers without social connections are more likely to go on a rampage, but I'm sure this is also debatable.

Bitter, alone, lonely, angry, sociopathic, misanthropic, megalomaniac.

Duh!

definitely not mistyped, but yes this person I am refering to IRL does have mental health problems.

goodgrief - I didn't mean it any rudeness by it. ;) to be hopnest I had infatuations in the past and had pretty much the same problems you do. it's jsut that in your case with her being an INTP, it seems like it should be resolved by now, or something. IDK. :s

from most of the descriptions of kids in the US who go on killing rampages, very few seem to be extraverted feelers...

I'm incredibly tempted to place a few links to a few user profiles, but have a feeling that would be unwise :devil:

Exactly, because of your twisted perception of extraverted feelers. Those who need people and human warmth and can't get any of it will turn out to be desperate and miserable.

Forget the movie cliches about the evil genius and all this bullshit, I know it's really romantic and tragic and whatnot, but not applicable to real life. ITJs usually do not need the same degree of attachment as other types. They may be quiet and misanthropic, but won't blow your ass up if they hate you, because they don't really fucking care.
