I'd sucker punch an INTP if the opportunity came up. Not sure that counts as a fight. Or winning.

Whichever one is the better trained and more experienced fighter...

As an INFP who is into martial arts, who has quite a few INTP friends, this is as accurate an answer as I can give. I would beat any of them at rapier or longsword (I'm into HEMA, so sue me), but one of them would beat me at MMA, and another one would beat me in archery, kendo, or wrestling. If your question is actually about arguments, no one is likely to win any argument that we get into. If an INFP and an INTP get in an argument, chances are, both walk away (or get pulled away by friends) frustrated and angry.

There is no winning when people fight.

Hmm, in a physical fight I would say INTP, but I can't imagine your stereotypical INTP or INFP being naturally aggressive enough to engage. They might trade insults instead. In that case the INFP would definitely have a leg up.

Insults only have power over people who care.

There's a good chance the INTP won't give a shit, and the INFP might get shaken because the INTP is laughing/shrugging off the insults.

In my opinion this is the only rational answer to the question.

Pretty much. Or, if both suck, the one with significant more body weight and more [Eye of the Tiger!] determination.

Pretty much. People overestimate how much I care.

My brother is an INTP and thats usuallly how it goes when we have arguments lol. He'll be walking around not giving a shit about my feelings making jokes that are basically "Look how funny it is when he gets his feelings hurt" then I'll come with some really deep-cutting emotional insult that should work and my familys like "WOOOOAAH! WTF!" but he just laughs!

He also used to win in physical fights all the time so I've been going to the gym. I need to figure out how to hurt his feelings. It'd have to be something really really awful wouldnt it? That doesnt sound fun

It depends on the "weapons" being used and either type's skill level with each "weapon"

physically fighting isn't determined solely on type their's other factors, like how strong each opponent is. and you don't think an INFP can't throw down, based on info, you're wrong. you piss off an infp enough it will have no problem kicking the shit out of you, if it already has the physical capabilities and there's a lot of INFPs who study martial arts. but the same could be said for the INTP, it comes down to physical strength and NOT what type someone is. ti or fi isn't gonna determine the winner.

Why pit the two types against each other? Why not say which type is more resilient to insults?

Wait, is this a state that lets you carry concealed?

Just asking.

A thought that goes through my head a lot is the idea of still fighting with bullet holes and cuts all in me. I like to imagine INFPs are good at that xD I dont know why :newwink:

What if their Ti and Fi were both manifested as people and then had to fight each other?
