INTPs are the logical, creeper kinds of crazy who scare "normal" people with their vast knowledge and "DID YOU KNOW?"s.
My ENFP daughter taught me to tone down the creepy paternal Ne. I still remember a tearful 4 yr old begging me to stop scaring her. (Just for the record - I did NOT do it on purpose). She is 26 now and seems to have turned out reasonably OK.

My vote for craziest of all - ENTPs. They seem to defy the conventional wisdom that everyone "mellows out" as they get older. ENTPs defy all conventions.

[MENTION=10769]amazingdatagirl[/MENTION] Haha, aww that's kind of cute and sad. Good thing you were told in the beginning and were able to manage the creep that's inside all of us. I'm still trying to control mine when around my non-N friends/ my friends who get really weirded out easily. :laugh: Not my fault my interests and obsessions aren't the "norm"!

I move for a mistrial. An INTP is clearly sleeping with the judge :ranting:

Objection! That is impossible!

The judge would not have time to come here and listen to these hearings if the judge did in fact sleep with an INTP.

Maybe we need some examples for a proper comparison.

Representing INTPs, we have Robert Pirsig and Ted Kaczynski. (actually, I'm just making those up)
Representing INFPs, um.. Can I have some well known examples? Thanks.

I've been with INFPs and known a fair number of them. They are crazy.

That's not a bad thing. I tend to enjoy them even when crazy, because they direct the craziness away from me.

INFPs!!! definitely more emotionally reactive. Although, I guess INTPs can be crazy in the sense of being pretty isolated from reality?

Trying to build a nuclear reactor in your garage is pretty crazy, no?

I think infps are way crazier, but I'm biased because my infp ex is crazy as fuck.

If we're gonna get all stereotypey - INTPs are much more likely to be neurotic but as far as emotional nuttiness...c'mon Fi all the way. And by that I mean INFPs since as an ENFP I am soooooooooooo removed from this equation. :D :D :D

More stereotypes - INTPs might get some minimal grudging respect from society as the mad scientist/eccentric professor types but INFPs don't as the crazy cat lady/ homeless woman who talks to lamp posts/ town psychics.

People can dismiss Ti as at least "having a purpose" but Fi is just kooky and strange.

I think my brother is an xNFP. Today, he ran around the house holding a book behind his back yelling that it was chasing him. He's so crazy, weird is normal behavior for him.

INFP's are openly crazy.

INTP's are the types that you go, oh they seem pretty pleasant and bright....right up until their anti matter generator sucks half the street away.
