You, an intellectual: I like this artistic piece of magnificience. The composition is excellent and the performance breath-taking.
Me, trash human: I like the part where the song goes “tu tu tu”. It makes me feel things.
INTJ: You know how I’m normally very relaxed and-
ESTP (smiling): No, you’re not. You just pretend to be :).
INTJ:... INTJ: Touché.
XSTP (I don’t mind which), ESTJ and ISTJ scenario, please? I don’t see many of them.
ESTJ, ISTJ and ESTP are having a lunch break.
ESTP: Do you guys know at what time they close the library today? I think they’re opening it 24/7 soon.
ISTJ: Not yet, I was here today before they opened.
ESTJ is not happyTM.
ESTJ (pointing at ISTJ): Why is ISTJ such a silent hard-worker?
ESTP continues eating noodles, amused watching the other two.
ISTJ: I like work.
ESTJ: Yeah, but it’s Sunday.
ISTJ: You guys are here, too.
ESTP (suddenly quite content with herself): Fair enough.
ESTJ: Yes, but he was here before. You can’t be more efficient than the library!
ISTJ (super chill, shit-eating grin): Watch me.
ESTJ (to ESTP): We’re meeting here at 7am tomorrow.
ESTP: HAHA, no freaking way. I need my sleep, you guys keep your absurd competitions aside from me.
...INFP to ESTJ, how much does leadership appeal to you?
...ESFP to INTJ, how much did you plan your next move?
...ISFP to ISTJ, how together do you keep your shit?
...INFJ to ESFJ, how much do you enjoy being the host, especially for a bunch of new people?
...ISFJ to ENTP, how many arguments are you craving right now?
...ISTP to ENTJ, how much do you care about being elected student representative?
...ESTP to ENFJ, how many times have you replayed the last conversation in your head?
...ENFP to INTP, how much do you value facts over subtlety?
Hi. INTJ here.
Since a considerable amount of persons have been asking about the cognitive functions of the types, I was thinking about making a ‘type in depth’ sort of series. If you are interested.
It could include:
What do you think? Each of them would take some time, but I would start with the most popular requests. Just reblog this post with your preferences (we always read your tags), send us a message, or let us know in any way. If you want any particular point apart from these 8, we’re open to suggestions. INFJ would obviously help (surprise, nerd).
If this is a silly idea and I should just go to bed you can say so, too.

Interactions between ISTP and INTP - requested by @life1001
--
INTP and ISTP are talking about the extracurricular activities that they used to do during their school years.
INTP: I think I joined all possible kinds of sports until my parents gave up and realised that I wasn’t meant for any of them.
ISTP: But that’s so cool. My parents, on the other hand, made me attend more math classes.
INTP: I only had extra maths once in order to prepare for the mathematical Olympiads.
ISTP: Ah, yeah. I won.
INTP: YOU WON THE MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIADS?
ISTP: Yes.
INTP: Like the national ones??!
ISTP: Yes.
INTP: BUT YOU’RE A FREAKING GENIOUS.
ISTP: Maybe, but what I wanted to do was join the football team.
ESTP is usually that hyperactive member of the group who ends up living super weird adventures that make INFJ freak out (like the time she couldn’t hand in the assessment of the day because she had ended up trapped in the mountains).
ESTP: What you doing?
INFJ: Oh, hum… It is this silly tradition I started after winning with a Halloween short story in a competition in high-school. I usually write one in October, for fun
ESTP: Oh that’s neat. Did you win anything?
INFJ: Yeah, actually. They gave me a bag with the logo of the place, with a box of chocolate and a book inside
ESTP: So unfair. I’ve only won one contest during high school
INFJ: Really?
ESTP: It was a math triathlon.
INFJ: Wait, what?
ESTP: Yeah, it sucked. I used to spend every break studying maths.
INFJ: omg.
ESTP: And I only won a Calculator as the first prize
INFJ: This is amazing
ESTP: Don’t get me wrong, it was an amazing calculator. (Narrows her eyes) But someone stole it from me. And I knew exactly who it was.
INFJ: I can’t wait to tell this to INTJ
ESTP (With a lot of resentment in her voice): It was Elizabeth [INFJ: I have no idea who Elizabeth is because she has never mentioned her until now). Why would she even need a calculator anyways. Damn her.
INFJ: I love you.
esfj; estj; infj; istj; isfj; esfp; enfj; infp: That’s against the law.
entj; intp; intj; isfp; entp; estp; enfp; istp: I AM THE LAW!

~ Requested: this is a special post in regards to today’s (failed) motion of no confidence to the Spanish Government. All quotes are by Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
Note: all should be read with a 101% convinced tone.
INTP: “Do you think before speaking or do you speak after thinking?”
ESFJ: “It will be agreed that being solidary is not the same as being solidary for nothing”.
ISFJ: “It’s so good being able to speak well of someone who deserves to be spoken well of, and also speaking well of them because they deserve it”.
ENTJ: The more you know, the better. Being an engineer or a football player can lead to many doors being opened”.
ESFP: “Spain is a great country, which does great things and has Spaniards”.
INTJ: “Sometimes the best decision is not to make any decision at all. Which is making a decision as well”.
ENFJ: “Friends are not made through substitution but through expansion”.
ISFP: “One should not be absurdly optimistic just as one should not be too bleak, because we all know this is an unreal view of the actual world”.
ENTP: “So, let’s see… Uh… Measures to create employment? Well, this very notable thing happened… I have it written right here, but I don’t understand my handwriting”.
INFJ: “We are feelings and we have human beings”.
ISTJ: “Cars have to be driven on the road and airplanes have to fly from airports”.
ISTP: “Long live the wine!”
ESTJ: “They’re increasing the value-added tax! That kid! Their candy! They’re increasing the value-added tax of their candy!
INFP: “This is not like water falling from the sky, no one exactly knowing why".
ESTP: “I’m off to watch the football match. The soccer team deserves it and all matters have been solved. I wouldn’t go if it wasn’t the case”.
ENFP: “And the worse, the better for all. Better for me: yours. Political benefit” (This is legit. Original version: “Y cuanto peor para todos, mejor. Mejor para mí el suyo. Beneficio político”.)

ESFP sister and ESTP younger brother have been chatting. ESFP has to go to class.
ESTP: Anyway, hope the lecture goes well!
ESFP: … Are you being sarcastic?
ESTP (upset): No? I was being nice??
ESFP: Oh, okay. Well, thanks then. Bye♡ ESFP: *On her way to the front door*.
ESTP (following her): I can be nice.
ESFP:… good(?)
ESTP: I think. Sometimes.

(Distrust of the unpredictability of the physical world. Impulsiveness and recklessness. Mental shutdown, carelessness).
Take my tongue, go have some fun And take the ears, take them and disappear (...) Take my face and desecrate Arms and legs get in the way Bodies break – “Body” (Mother Mother) Send me down an angel And let it pull me up from my own hell We could float around this space We’d be above all of the pain in ecstasy – “The Drugs” (Mother Mother)
(Distrust of traditions. Lack of enthusiasm, lose of the creative spark. Withdrawnness and obsession)
It feels like I only go backwards, baby. Every part of me says go ahead. I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again. Feels like we only go backwards, darling. The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no, – “Feels like we’re only going backwards” (Tame Impala)
(Erratic action, visualisation of sundry negative possibilities and outcomes. Paranoia and lack of control)
They're coming, creeping from the corner And all I know is that I don't feel safe I feel the tapping on my shoulder I turn around in an alarming state But am I loosing my mind? I really think so – “Nightmare” (Set It Off) I can't decide Whether you should live or die Oh, you'll probably go to heaven Please don't hang your head and cry No wonder why My heart feels dead inside – “I can’t decide” (Scissor Sisters)
(over-analysis is draining. But I can't stop thinking of all possible most catastrophic outcomes; irrational pessimism and paranoia. Distrust as a result of lacking an identification of connections)
(But things are bound to change) Sometimes life is altered. Break from the ropes your hands are tied. Uneasy with confrontation. Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right. – “And All Things Will End” (Avenged Sevenfold) And I’ll watch as all the numbers go Up in a cloud of dark and dirty smoke Ya I’m just waiting for the end of the world End of the whole wide world End of the whole world Waiting for the world to end – “Waiting for the World to End” (Mother Mother)
(anxiety over feelings, inability to moderate them. Feeling entangled by outside influences, especially other people’s feelings.) Sticks and stones could break my bones But anything you say will only fuel my lungs Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts If this is love I don't wanna be loved You pollute the room with a filthy tongue Watch me choke it down so I can throw it up. – “Sarcasm” (Get Scared)
(Self-pity, lack of control over emotions. Loss of self-confidence. Feelings of being deceived, undervalued and despised)
My feelings ran away I didn't know how to treat them Maybe if I believed them they'd have stayed – “Love Stuck” (Mother Mother) I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell In my disasters (...) Will I always feel this way So empty So estranged? – “Empty” (Ray LaMontagne)
(Feelings of failure and powerlessness, difficulty to set into motion. Inability to process certain emotions. Self-blaming for past decisions).
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day I never viewed my life as something... slipping away (...) So don't be too concerned, you've got a lot to learn Well so do I and we've got plenty of time yeah – “Unbound” (Avenged Sevenfold) I’m a little tired of walking Forgive the trite expression But I’m tired on life’s long road. (...) Time cruelly goes hour by hour – “Irony” (Vocaloid).
(Distrust and critical view of others, unusual difficulty to care about them. Cynicism and pessimism towards humankind)
Cry to god, a boy, no stronger And in those days he stood, no falter A summer smile I won't remember No, it stays the same forever "Guess I died. And I'm so sorry" Goodbye's too sad and way too lonely – “Lost Time Memory” I push my fingers into my eyes It’s the only thing that slowly stops the ache When it’s made of all the things I have to take Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on – “Duality” (Slipknot)
Hello! I am the anon whom you guessed as an ISTP hahahaha (the one being competitive and likes to talk about his thoughts). I am actually an INTJ, by the way. Anyway, I am curious why xSTP types are also correlated to competition? I also saw a post from another blog that they also correlate competition with xSTP. I thought it's Te and Fi related? I want to know your insights about this. Thank you!
Okay, okay, I’ve been thinking about this one (and I unironically thank you so much for that). Because it’s true, I highly associate ISTPs with being competitive, but, just as you alluded, it’s very different from the way other types such as INTJ (basically Te and also Fi) compete.
I think it’s a matter of high Ti vs. high Te.
Te as the pragmatic function that it is, wants to see results.
They take shit very seriously, hence their competitiveness is vehement, structured, rigid. Tertiary and inferior Fi also promote it, but quite differently:
Ti doesn’t care about any of that. Ti wants to mess with your head. Will they be competitive? Sure, but rather than concrete results, they strive to achieve a certain degree of inner logic and they want this logic to defeat the external world in general and your internal world in particular, they want to have an effect on both of them.
Excuse my divagations, feel free to share your thoughts, I’d love to read it.

Can you do an INTP and ESTP interaction? Thank you!
INTPs are plotting. Wild ESTP friend appears.
INTP 2: We were discussing this cool idea. Tell ESTP!
INTP 1: Yeah, so I was thinking-
ESTP: No, I’m gonna stop you right there. You both need to stop over-analysing everything. The answers are right in front of us.
INTPs: What’s it?
ESTP: C h a o s.
INTP 2: …
INTP 1: …INTP 1: I like that answer.
INTP 2: It’s a good answer.
