Closing loops is an important energy hit for INTPs. When we talked about introverts getting their energy hit, closing loops is often how INTPs get the biggest rewards. That means being willing to do the hard work in the middle of project to get to the end. Once you start experiencing that feeling and getting the rewards you simply keep going and get things done.

INTPs tend to run into this problem of being asked to do intellectual work for other people who don't think about or want to do certain kinds of work themselves. The assumption is that because we "like this sort of thing" that we can handle some of the heavy lifting for them. One thing to consider, however, is that this can become a form of abuse if not given a proper boundary. It is very easy for someone to get used to the idea of using as their personal google and automation machine. And like much of the topics we cover on this channel, it is up to you as the INTP to remind others that you are human and you have boundaries even when it comes to doing the kind of work that they think you love.

I asked a few friends to submit a few videos about their love for INTPs to celebrate this important personality type on Valentine's Day!

INTPs get a bad rap in many descriptions of the personality type. Like learning about any type, the best thing to do is to learn about types from personal experience. That means getting to know and connecting with INTPs. Being an INTP myself, I know what I like about myself but we also get a perspective from my partner, Molly, an ENFP on what she likes about having INTPs in her life.

It's not mistake that INTPs have challenges with social interactions and expressing their emotional experience to others. Sometimes that can manifest in manipulation or other tactics to get people to do what they want or to conform to their emotional needs. And sometimes we do that because we perceive our intellect as superior to others, making them susceptible to our manipulation in the first place. It can seem sociopathic on the surface but it's always a smuggle for deeper emotional needs of connection and being understood that are being sought after.

INTPs can have an interesting relationship with their introverted thinking. It's really easy to convince ourselves that we won't need anyone or that we don't care when ultimately connection is what we want. The problem with not caring is that it's often a dismissal of the problem at hand. It's more of a "I don't want to deal with it" than it is about not caring. We care, most of the time, we just don't know what to do. And I think the acknowledgement that you do care as a way of being honest with yourself is an important step in the direction of emotional literacy and self-improvement.

As INTPs we're always reassessing our situations because we're gaining new insights and then applying them to who we are. Checking with our internal code is like rewriting the script in our ego. How can apply this new understanding to who are and move forward? How can we make ourselves open to new ideas and remember that rewriting script won't bring us any harm? We talk all about that on today's video.

Extroverted Intuition is an important opportunity for growth as an INTP but there will be growing pains. It certainly helps to know what helpful and unhelpful Ne looks like to start becoming aware of the main goal of integration and development.

It's exciting to learn about your personality! Suddenly it feels like all of your answers have been given to you, or there's a framework for understanding everything about yourself. The tricky part is, it now becomes easier to look to typology to enable or allow you to further perpetuate unhealthy behavior. Truth is, personal development is very personal. No one can or will be able to tell you exactly how you need to grow. The best you can do is take positive helpful advice and apply it to your situation to allow for the best possibility of living your best life.

It can be quite confusing for INTPs to think that they're always being objective when I don't believe that to be true at all. INTPs are in search of objectivity but are flexing and flowing using subjectivity to better eliminate and understand what cannot be manipulated by subjective reasoning. We break all of that down in this video to help INTPs better understand their search for objectivity.
