INTP functions characters

Titania: Analytical, reserved, unconventional, and self-assured, Ti is critical and sometimes sarcastic. She strives for fairness and can sometimes come off as unintentionally arrogant, cold, self-absorbed, and even destructive. Her dream is to understand everything, setting aside human bias and limitation. She perceives reality as a system with hidden variables that could be controlled if comprehended. She doesn't intentionally exude a "back off" aura but is bothered by those she views as intrusive or disrespectful, especially when they invade her space with too many questions. As such, she’s wary of overly friendly or charming people. While observant, her focus isn't always on the tangible world, like what others wear or current events, unless there's a reason. Instead, she's keen on spotting theoretical flaws and is therefore hard to deceive. Even her friends are scrutinized; she prioritizes caution over instinct. She holds some misanthropic, deterministic, and nihilistic views, even if she identifies as "unbiased", to better deal with stress, ensuring she doesn't take things personally. She appears detached even when engaged, constantly building mental models to understand things from the inside out. When allowed the freedom to explore her often taboo interests, she's endlessly inquisitive. While Ti values intelligence, she sometimes overlooks the obvious or fails to consider the emotional aspects of issues. She adheres to binary logic until undeniable evidence proves otherwise and is irritated by elusive answers. Disliking incompetence and emotional reasoning, she thinks humanity should focus on conquering nature and understanding existence, freeing themselves from ignorance, making informed decisions, and not getting sidetracked by trivial matters, or worse, hindering scientific progress.

Looks: She dresses in practical urban wear, covered from head to toe. A large dark red zippered hoodie with pockets is worn over a turtleneck, paired with denim shorts, leggings, and ankle boots. Ti's short, layered orange hair is chin-length in front and cropped at the back. Her pale complexion contrasts with dark red eyes that seem to absorb light. These eyes often appear both distant and intense, accentuated by dark circles. Her expression, typically flat, gives her an air of fatigue or inaccessibility. When she does display happiness, it's subtle—a twitch of a closed smile.

Theme: Knowledge. With complete understanding, existence would lose its dominion over individuals, allowing them to manifest absolute individuality, control, and intelligence within their confines.

Nereida: Energetic and spontaneous, Ne is a dreamer. She's inventive, flexible, and inclusive, bringing a burst of bubbly energy everywhere she goes, but struggles with commitment to her grand visions. Going with the flow, she absorbs a plethora of information, always aiming to make last-minute optimal decisions. With a belief that every problem has a solution, she’s curious about everything, often applying knowledge from one domain to another. Her passion for learning mirrors Ti's focus, but Ne's is rooted in the joy of the process, always seeking to master her surroundings for maximum freedom. Disliking confinement, she occasionally gives up too quickly. Yet, when she persists, she finds ways to revel in challenges, cherishing the journey more than the destination. Although her plans can seem scattered, she thrives in unpredictability. She’s wary of those who wield power to control others, and in defiance, sometimes exercises her own control to observe the outcomes, which makes her morally grey. She thinks that it's her duty to challenge norms and pioneer change for the greater good when many are chained by ethics and fear, but has her own struggles, sometimes instigating chaos out of boredom.

Looks: Her attire is eclectic, pieced together from items she adores, without much regard for current trends. She sports a white buttoned shirt with teal insides, the sleeves rolled up and the front slightly unbuttoned to show a hint of cleavage. This is paired with a high-waisted, knee-length pleated teal skirt, ¾ leggings, and white Mary Janes with black heels. Her shoulder-length turquoise hair is pulled into a high side ponytail with a few loose strands framing her face. Her expression is vibrant, with large, curious blue eyes. Ne moves with a slight bounce, always seeming to be lost in a daydream and ignoring finer details.

Theme: Freedom. In a world without limitations, anything is possible.

Sienna: Grounded and diligent, Si is a model of consistency. She’s logical, practical, and knowledgeable, balancing her hardworking nature with humility and patience. She upholds tradition, believing that if everyone collaborates harmoniously, all aspirations, including universal comfort and understanding, are attainable. She derives a sense of duty and belonging from viewing herself as part of a whole, even if this sometimes stifles her creativity and subjects her to rigid standards. Si is at peace with her role but occasionally grapples with existential questions for not knowing herself in depth, or maybe suppressing philosophical musings. She values comfort, ensuring she always has moments of relaxation amidst her responsibilities, and appreciates nature and man-made wonders. Si always honors her commitments, but some may perceive her as mundane or lacking ambition.

Looks: Traditional and sensible, albeit slightly outdated. She dons a dark long-sleeved ruffled shirt buttoned entirely, paired with a lab coat, tailored trousers, and oxfords. Sleek glasses frame her earnest eyes. Her dark blonde hair reaches nearly to her waist, meticulously combed and pulled into a low ponytail, with bangs neatly clipped away from her face. While her movements are usually unhurried, she can be agile when needed, displaying remarkable dexterity.

Theme: Predictability. In a stable and comprehensible world, challenges would be preventable or at least manageable.

Felicity: Compassionate and giving, Fe is the embodiment of empathy. She is emotional yet fiercely loyal, often putting others' needs above her own. Her ideal world is one filled with loved ones she can protect and cherish forever. While she enjoys being the center of attention and reciprocated care, she sometimes neglects her needs, leading to periods of resentment. Her emotions can be volatile, especially when faced with disillusionment. Fe spends her days analyzing interpersonal dynamics, immersing herself in ethical discussions, and enjoying moral tales. Affected by poignant movies and easily manipulated, she doesn’t understand the saying, “hell is full of well-intentioned people”.

Looks: A blend of loose and tight-fitting garments. She wears a lilac boho dress that exposes her shoulders and collarbones with silk strips wrapped around her waist, neck, and wrists. Her footwear is burgundy heels with ankle clasps. Her purple hair cascades down her back, held in place by a ribbon, while her face boasts rosy cheeks and expressive eyes.

Theme: Unity. If everyone were the same, there’d be no conflict, and life would be fulfilling regardless of circumstances.

Hello, I'm interested in MBTI, and I really like your cognative function comics. I want to translate it and draw a fan art, Can I??

Yes, everyone's free to translate anything from here/make fanart.

To the others asking for more posts or giving ideas, I'm sorry but the blog has been closed for months, though I appreciate the continued interest!

Hello I hope you're doing well

I saw a post and got inspired by it

What functions would say

"If this is my reality then I will reject it and I'm going to change it "

I saw in a post that it was Si reflecting the facts but it seems high Ne to me...

"I don't care what you say nor what they had done....as long as I save them I am saving lives"

high fe or Ti-->fe??

"I am not satisfied with not knowing"

Obvious high Ti?

"I will never change my ideas to befitting baffling superstitions or superstitions"

Te?

Uh… Okay, applying a really loose logic here and all that. If you gotta connect these sentences to the functions.

"If this is reality then I'm making a better one." Te. Could be Si if they're escaping inside their heads. Ne cares about freedom but doesn't have the drive to change reality, only imagine it.

"IDC what they did, I'm saving lives." The Hippocratic oath? I'd pick the more value-driven Fi over Fe.

"I'm not satisfied with not knowing." Ti, agreed.

"I'll always reject superstition." Any T.

INTP whose always wanted to draw comics about INTPness (hehe) but was busy trying to be a "strong independent career woman"... stumbles upon this site. Ti: life is a mirage. We are all one. There are many versions of me living the same experience. Ne: I must binge read all the amazingly perceptive comics. Si: Her art is so beautiful. She's so talented. Fe: I want to be besties!

This makes me happy, our other versions really are out there reading papers and doodling. If only we could find each other lol

I am an infp and YOU ARE A GENIUS. I randomly stumbled upon your infp comic and it couldn’t possibly be more accurate, lol. (Just make inf. Te scarier and slightly unhinged and that’s basically it hahaha.) When I was reading it though I immediately thought of how inf. Te seems to be there to support Fi in most cases (and that’s why Te grip is…something) and your comic is absolutely perfect but you need to know…its so much worse lmao. 💀Especially when it comes to a Te grip. It usually goes like this:

Fi: I am not compromising for anything. I will not let you so much as breathe near my values.

Te: Right. I agree. What do you need done?

Fi: if they try anything, cross any line towards what I value. *pulls hood up* destroy them.

Te: *absolutely living for it* I can do that. I stole Si’s knowledge of their weaker points and Ne’s been rambling very detailed plots for its demise. Are you sure you don’t want to consult an outside Fe source, just to cover all bases?

Fi: what for? I AM RIGHT. I AM THE ONLY PARAGON OF TRUTH. I only answer to morality, not to Fe’s flimsy feelings.

Te: So, are you saying you give me absolute control?

Fi, putting a hand on Te’s shoulder: I am. So long as you fulfill your side of the bargain you can go absolutely insane.

Te: sweet.

This is why I call unhealthy Fi-doms "angels of justice"...

Difficult and boring

1

Ti: Why is this stupid subject so stupidly difficult. Everything has a reason and I'm the BEST at reasoning, I should learn anything with ease.

Ti: Assimilation is just not flowing... (could it be?) Ne: (Did she finally realize she's not that smart?)

Ti: IT'S YOU! Ne: (Of course.)

Ti: My logic needs your correlations and you're not making them! Ne: Aw, I am... (yawn)

Ti: DON'T LIE TO ME!

2

(Si chirps in with "have you tried eating and sleeping well, working at an well-lit and silent environment, and progressing a little every day?”, and such.) Ti: That’s right, we’re human, what works for others works for us. Ne: (Facepalm)

3

Ti: Now that you understand how important this is, repeat with me: How bored I am doesn't matter. Ne: How bored I am doesn't matter.

Ti: What I want doesn't matter. Ne: What I want doesn't matter. (Video games...) Ti: What I think doesn't matter. Ne: What I think doesn't matter. (Annoying...)

Ti: What I feel doesn't matter. Ne: What I... this is dangerous. Fe: What I feel... doesn't matter?

4

Ti: Focus. Ne: Yes, ma'am.

Ti: Good, we’re working together. Ne: Here you go, ma'am.

Ti: THIS IS A COMIC IDEA.

5

Ti: Why can’t you do this? Ne: We’ve been working for hours! I need a break!

Ti: We don't have the TIME since YOU made us wait until the last minute. And your “breaks” can last years! Ne: There’s a lot to life--

Ti: (Stares down) Ne: I mean, spilled milk and all that?! I’m tired...

Ne: Why don't we watch this anime that came out recently? It's about microbiology, very educational! Ti: Educational, you say?

6

Ne: Ti, I’m awake.

Ne: Ti, I’m ready.

Ne: Ti, are you done?

Ne: Ti....?

(Ti is hiding in a dark room obsessing over the anime.)

Person: (Does anything better than a monkey) Ti: Impressive. Humans can be wonderful. Ne, Si, Fe: We're human too...

Person: So you're saying you're not a people person.

Ne and Fe: I LOVE people! Si: Just not being near them. Ti: People are inherently egocentric, scheming, and chaotic.

(Ti and Si fist bump while the others look on disturbed)

INTP: I'm shy yeah.

Person: (Holds INTP's hands)

All functions: (Intense thinking)

INTP: Are you flirting with me? Person: Have been for the past year but thanks for asking.

Cognitive functions comics: Art dump!

You can see that I’ve been MIA for an year only to return with who-knows-how-many drafts and zero comics. That’s because I’m:

A perpetually busy millennial;

Bored to draw in a style that I’ve mastered (thanks to this blog) when I’m bored with art in general;

Annoyed at modern psychology for still not being scientifically robust;

Awkward to draw people that I’ve relied too much on for ideas in order to disperse my biases, but that have vanished, changed, or died;

Shy since what I thought was going to be a doodle dump gathered a lot of attention and even inspired projects!

So instead of keeping ghosting y’all I’m sharing assorted concepts and sketches in order to put the blog to sleep. I am probably not drawing MBTI any time soon but will keep the characters in mind for other projects. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Made with INTJ in Koikatsu Party... Tumblr’s the only place on Earth to post this.

Do both

INTP: I'm always struggling for time between science and art... ESTJ: Do both. INTP: There's no time... They're completely different things... ESTJ: No, do both. You can. INTP: (Mumbling) you and your determination don't understand.

INFJ and ISFJ playing “Gris”

INTP: (To both separately) tell me your thoughts as you go. INFJ about the crumbling hand in the intro: A fallout with someone idolized, a guardian, maybe herself since it looked like a woman's hand? Actually, maybe someone died? INTP: Mm. Isn't the falling animation funny? INFJ: Not to me, no...

ISFJ: She's on a titan's hand?! INTP: Yeah?! ISFJ: Actually, that must be a giant statue. Oh no, it's crumbling. Oh no. INTP: Yeah. ISFJ: She fell from the titan's hand... No way she’d have survived that.

Researching how other INTPs deal with anxiety for a post.

#1 Answer: "Drugs!" #2 "Nihilism. Failing that, try depression." #3 "Drug X helps." #4 "Don't go out without noise-cancelling headphones." #5 "Drug Y or Z in small doses." #6. "Work yourself to exhaustion or just don't sleep."

Me: (Are we okay.......?)

a class in Fi

intp; i shouldn't feel this infp; all feelings are valid intp; but idk why i feel this infp; you don't need to intp; ??? infp; look at this diagram intp; ah, i understand now. in theory infp; good grief

infp; the layer most you is the feeling layer, not the thinking layer intp; no it's not infp; it is intp; it's not, what if you're drugged? infp; it's still your most genuine processing of reality intp; no it's not infp: it is!!!

intp; what should i say to comfort someone? infp; "i'm sorry" intp; generic condolences, got it infp; they're not if you mean them intp; what i mean is "dw you'll forget your dead dog soon enough whether you want to or not" infp; stick to sorry.

INTP according to Ti.

(Ti pointing to each:) Ne: ADD Si: PTSD Fe: Social anxiety Ti + Ne = wasted potential Ti + Si = schizoid Ti + Fe = trust issues Si + Fe = codependency risk Ti: ~unbiased rationality~
