I have a fix 1 in my 641 tritype (maybe 614). I struggle a lot my neurotic 6 which is constantly backed up my 1’s perfectionism. I’m very judgmental of people surrounding me, I my internal codex with certain rules or lifestyle or ideology, so it is hard for me for me to find friends. I also get stuck in paralysis, cause when I want to do or learn something I need it to be productive, so I plan, but everytime it seems to be not effective enough. I believe it is due to lacking Te, I think globally and make myself unable to narrow it down to the certain trajectory that makes me unable to take certain actions. I try to organise my life everytime but I lack of understanding of certain steps followed with bigger steps and so on

It might be due to my fixed 1 in 641 tritype, makes me more pedantic and idealistic about my beliefs. I can be more tactful and gentle than Fe users. In other times I can be very pedantic and detached from other people emotional comfort. Sometimes I question if my Ti is actually Ni. Or if I have high Fe

Hello, fellows! So there are combinations that are considered a stereotypical model, correlation. As I know, INTPs are mostly LVEFs. I’m still curious about others, cause I found myself at the point where I can’t relate myself to other INTPs cause I’m LFVE which considered to be atypical for my type, but still

I know that at certain stages of life, in contradictory or stressful environments, some people who are used to having a rich emotional inner life may, under the influence of certain factors, try to distance themselves from their emotional side. For example, because they are tired of pain, rejection, or for other reasons, and they resort to the idea that feelings are unimportant, they must be strong, nothing is worth worrying about.

Their First Emotion does not disappear, so how is it processed when a person falls into such a state?

I’m studying at university, and after all these years I still haven’t learned how to present material confidently. It feels like by the end of my studies I’m only getting more embarrassed when answering at the blackboard, because I try to give a composed presentation but it’s always bad.

My condition worsens so much that when I’m at the board my limbs become stiff, a strong tremor runs through my whole body, and my jaw locks so tightly that it becomes difficult to speak, since at some point my mouth simply freezes open. This also makes it very hard to think. At home I can learn and recite all the material without reading, but at the board I sometimes mix up words even when I’m reading. I don’t even understand what I’m reading cause I’m on fight or flight mode lol

Do you ever have this happen: you want to watch educational videos on YouTube and read informative articles, but you can’t, because you feel the need to fully understand everything from the inside? Simply hearing new information isn’t enough—you want to grasp it completely in the process.

For example, if you come across a video about some historical event you’ve never heard of, in order to understand and remember it better—and to form a complete picture in your mind—you first go and briefly study that era, the customs of the people in that country at that time, especially if the event is connected to social phenomena.

If you don’t do that in advance, then throughout the video you keep asking ChatGPT questions about things that confuse you. Because of all this effort, your brain starts to perceive watching educational videos as work, not just entertainment.

As a result, you end up in a kind of deadlock: movies and vlogs feel too boring, but educational videos require extra effort, which prevents you from simply enjoying content passively.

I also do these things cause I have short memory, so even if the content was interesting, I’ll probably forget most of it in few days. And by making my understanding clearer I am able to place this information somewhere in my worldview, so it would stay in my memory cause I passively “use” it

I’ve heard that keeping a journal helps in some ways: it makes your thoughts more concrete and linear, and if it’s an emotions journal your brain learns the patterns. Besides these benefits I find it hard to see the point of personal entries about how my day went — especially since it uses paper. For a while I made short notes in an app and organized them like a journal; that was fun, but then I forgot about them and stopped checking. I tried writing my reflections or book reviews, which then grew into longer reflections; because of my Ti trying to build a system and my Ne drawing parallels and analogies and making mental branches that my Ti fits into the system, so I just expand it to the point where I notice that I used a lot of paper, my reflections balloon into essays — about five and more pages of handwritten text, and that feels very resource-intensive. At the same time, I actually find it easier to shape my thoughts and pick words when I write on paper. I would write on A4 sheets, but journals in that format aren’t made, so I’d have to organize the papers myself. Also, I don’t really know why, but writing things down feels pointless, because I already have it all in my head.

What do you think about this? Do you keep notes or a journal?

I’ve had different attitudes toward my empathy abilities. In the past, I could easily put myself in someone else’s shoes and feel everything they were feeling, along with a subsequent sense of sympathy.

Now I thought I had lost my natural abilities, because I rarely let other people’s emotions pass through me, so I don’t get an emotional response and struggle with providing emotional support due to lacking of emotional connection.

But then I started thinking about developed cognitive empathy. I don’t let another person’s emotions pass through me in the sense that I don’t allow them to affect me. But at the same time, I can experience their situation. I can put myself in their place, but not by considering what I myself would feel. Instead, I take into account that person’s individual traits and live through the situation as that person would. I can understand their motives, the emotions they were experiencing, what guided them, and what they might have done. This mechanism activates constantly in me, because I try to understand everything around me, including people. This is how I expand the picture of their personality in my head, so that any later mental reenactment becomes more accurate.

But my Fe is still not bothered enough to realise what needed at the moment to maintain a certain atmosphere or provide with the certain reaction or realise what the person needs right now.

I have a theory that this is a consequence of an unstable home environment, which forced me to constantly decipher my parents’ emotional state and motivations.

I even thought that I’m an INFP due to that cause I do it automatically, so kinda a lot.

Hello, asking for myself. I was looking into personality types that would be compatible with mine, taking personal traits into account. I came to the conclusion that ENFJs suit me best. I'm curious how you perceive us. I also know that you prefer INFPs or other types that you can 'protect'.

INTPs are mostly LVEFs and it’s the most harmonious combination. But what about LFVE. I’m unsure about how I can elevate my Physics. Like I do notice things in material world and sensations but due to lacking Se I don’t really see potential in it and especially with Ne.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I’m pretty sure that there’s a lot of lazy INTPs, but it seems that they procrastinate due to prioritising their own ideas and interests. But are you lazy on the level of being unable to maintain your hobbies?

I myself struggle with my executive function and laziness. I do have things that I like, but maintaining it seems like a lot of effort. I believe it is definitely due to broken dopamine system. Like I want to read about interesting stuff that I have in my head and have a genuine interest in, but it’s so hard to change my activity to something productive cause because of its “productivity” learning new things feels like a lot of work.

Do you have an advice?

I'm still amazed at how much my thinking style has changed—partly because I've matured mentally, but partly because my type of thinking has actually shifted. I know that this isn't something that just happens, and the closest explanation I can relate it to is that during adolescence and into your early 20s, the prefrontal cortex is still developing, which causes unstable thinking patterns when approaching problem-solving. Plus, there are so many environmental factors—like school or the upbringing your parents give you—which put you in certain boxes, and you're forced to comply because you haven't yet developed your own personal aspects and boundaries; you're still in the phase of absorbing information and adapting and you only start to change you environment by trying to navigate certain situations.

In my school years, I was INFP ELFV E4—and back then it seemed obvious to me. Even now, when I remember myself and what guided me, I can confidently say I definitely had the characteristics of those types. For example, Fi was very obvious to me, because I never built my values and principles on logic or systems—only on what felt morally right to me. And to understand what was morally right, I often put myself in someone else's shoes and ran their situation and emotions through myself. I also loved talking about my own emotions and others'.

Now I'm definitely INTP LFEV E6. When I reached a certain age, there was a huge shift in my worldview and behavior—for example, I now operate on Ti principles: I study things as they are, model systems in my head, and fit things with similar working principles—or even more distant things—into that system. My approach has become dispassionate; I no longer have that "I don't like it because it feels wrong" reaction. I also lean toward the view that emotions are universal for everyone—only the range of emotions and their order differ depending on individual experience, which can still generally be fit into certain frameworks—so that's Fe usage.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I always noticed that I don’t match the INTP’s stereotyped version and sometimes even INTPs in rl. Partly I believe it’s due to my e6 (so/sp) and LFVE combined with mbti. At least my so6 makes me rely on people in terms of a group or society and frameworks and worldviews in terms of social ideologies or standards. Maybe it makes my Fe appear well developed although I don’t think I use it more than just for the “what’s good for society” thinking. Maybe it’s also due to my 3V that is sensitive to its place in the world and how others perceive me, so I constantly adjust and adapt my behaviour according to the people I communicate with. Cause as I know INTPs are mostly LFEV or LVEF, so 2V/4V doesn’t perceive everything as hierarchies therefore they have no need to adjust their behaviour accordingly.

At some point I had a thought that maybe I’m an INFJ with developed Ti but I definitely lack of Ni and Se (my 2F lets me enjoy physical environment but I suck at managing things at the moment).

Plus I don’t see much of the INTP LFVE combination, so it’s a little hard for me to find a character I could kin or compare myself to.

What do you think ? Do you face the same problem (maybe as a different type) ?
