[NT] Nuances between the INT types

[luismas]

I would like to invite the NTs on the subforum to use their typology knowledge to distinguish between a Judging and a Perceiving temperament.

I am an INT. What kind of information should we really look for? And what information should we slight?

INTPs know they know nothing, the first step to wisdom.

 

[greenfairy]

INTJ's know how to organize their environment and prioritize in order to get a bunch of things done, and INTP's struggle with this. J's are more decisive. P's are less serious.

As opposed to those INTJs who...?

 

[Fluffywolf]

INTP - omnidirectional : The architect
INTJ - single-directional : The specialist

That is at the core of both. Where an INTP will focus at all aspects of something, an INTJ will focus at its most important aspect.

That is blatantly untrue said the girl who has befriended far too many INTPs.

Can you knock off an anecdote about this?

Why not INTJ - the architect and INTP - the specialist?

INTPs -- modest or just faking it?

 

[Fluffywolf]

I was talking about their reset position. Their natural tendencies. It is the difference between Ti-Ne and Ni-Te.

Even if an INTP focuses and tries to specialize on something, he will find it pretty much impossible to ignore aspects that an INTJ might not find important enough to note, as a result an INTP is not much of a specialist.

An INTJ can similarly attempt to think architectically(word lol?) on a subject, but will find himself naturally moving towards the Ni-values important to him and ignore the rest. As a result an INTJ is not much of an architect.

 

[Fluffywolf]

Inferior Fe, most likely modest. But Inferior Fe is not something that is used well with all INTP's, there you can find plenty of exceptions. Better to focus on the dom, aux and tert of a type when looking at nuanced differences.

Taking this into account...what kind of careers would suit INTPs the best? And INTJs?

 

[RaptorWizard]

As opposed to those INTJs who...?

Are quite self-assured by nature.

(Well assuming you don't think I am in fact INFP), this is certainly true for me at work. The assistant manager is INTJ, and he can do absolutely everything, usually at the same time; and find the time to point out things we've missed (which I appreciate). I am an ADD type, which one would think would be good, but I have trouble organizing my time for maximum efficiency. I can organize things with one dimension, like objects in my apartment or numbers, but something including multiple dimensions I can't see (like time) confuse me.

On an entrepeneur level (my line of work)
INTP's function best in an environment where they can freely create their business ideas without censorship. INTJ's function best in an environment where they can turn ideas into a working practical business models.

Downside for most INTP's, since INTP's want to completely expose a task for all it encompasses; this is why many INTP's often eventually decide on menial jobs in which their minds are free for themselves. They won't do well unless they are giving the freedom to do well. INTJ's have less problems in their functions with doing well because they can find happiness in the completion of any task. The INTP would not find that same happiness.

INTJ's are probably suited(struggle less) for a lot more jobs than INTP's.

Are you implying that INTJs, having preference for Js, are much better at multi-tasking?

 

[luismas]

More or less than the ENTJs?

 

[Fluffywolf]

I am an ADD type

Although I might be wrong, but I don't remember you telling that in all your typing threads, such information tends to be crucial in trying to figure out someones types.

No, P's multitask (randomly) in their free time in order to support their thought process, and J's multitask efficiently and mostly do it at work.
