On the other hand, INTJs have a very open feedback loop, and rely more heavily on information received from the environment to draw conclusions.

I don't understand this part. Ni vs. Ne?

Agreed.



Very true! So I would say based on the first paragraph that INTP is deductive and INTJ is inductive.

Deduction probably has more connection to introversion and induction to extroversion.

Yeah as I thought about it later, Ti/Fi is deductive and Te/Fe is inductive. F based on personal subjective factors and T based on impersonal objective factors.

I think it is Ti versus Te. Ti has an internal framework from which they draw conclusions. Information comes in through Ne, and Ti processes it and outputs a conclusion. In INTJ (I may not entirely understand the individual functions, but it looks to me like) Ni and Te work together to take in information and produce an internal system, aided by Fi. Ni for perceiving the environment, and Te for deciding objective truth and gathering facts. So in INTJ both Ni and Te take in information (just different kinds), and so they are more reliant on outside information than INTP.

While I think you are pointing to something, I would most certainly call Ni an inductive function and Ti a deductive function.

I would say it depends on the enneatype, not the type. For instance, I find the 5w6 types to be extremely robotic followed by many of the 6w5's. For instance, there are quite a few INTJ 8's out there and 1's and they don't seem robotic at all. In addition, many INTP 6w7 types don't seem robotic either.

I just looked at the first two names. :p
Holy sockpuppets, batman! :rofl1:
I think INTJs have the more outward appearance of being robotic, they maybe more aloof, efficient, and standoffish while INTPs present a more open and go with the flow demeanor. That said Ti is more about logical deductions and fine tuning meanings/definitions while Ni can sometimes "skip" that whole process and unconsciously arrive at a conclusion, it seems to be limited only by the user's imagination(which has it's pros and cons).
Makes some sense.

I have another opinion. INTP's are like computers and INTJ's are like robots. Because robots are designed to perform actions efficiently and gather data, and computers are designed to think.
Makes even more.

This thread is dying and will soon be devoid of all life, and will itself become a souless robot!

You can have mine, but you're keeping your own as well. ;)

INTJs are more like robots, programmed by Ni's singular answers and embodied in inferior Se, INTPs are more like passive disembodied data analysis software.

which one is more dehumanizing? you decide!

Yeah that sounds about right. But let's be real - they secretly want friends... to experiment on...

I'd say it depends on how others perceive them, unless they're purposely behaving robotically.
I have an INTJ friend who sounds very robotic to my other friends, but not in the least to me.
And most of the INTPs I've talked to sound more sedated than robotic.

I think it depends on whether you see types as strictly Jungian or in Myers terms.

Rationals/J type of Introverts approach the world with a set outlook, and have to loosen up to be any more dynamic in the way they percieve and address issues. Even the F types. I think that lends to a stubbornness or uptightness that could appear robotic, especially in an NT. If someone keeps promoting their senses though (which is a lot more momentary and changable), instead of judgement, they're probably going to come off more gregarious, not as reliable in their views... And "human".

I don't know who functions more on a "practical" level though. I think INTJs probably take themselves too seriously not to.

Hey look, it's the "I resent my INTJ friend so I constantly harp on about the same pessimistic schtick about INTJs" club.

Oh gosh, if I'ld take that all more serious, I'ld prolly be fucking too as well :)

Wait, I like robots and INTJs. I'm not sure if robots are a good or bad thing, I think they're neat. :shrug:

Depends which way we are looking at this,... and what we expect will happen on a global scale regarding robots in the future.
