One trick with INTPs who get all arrogant. Do not take them too serriously when the bravado rears it's ugly head; don't take it personal. Simply laugh at them and mock them with good humor; call them on it. They step back, disarmed, quizzical, perchance a bit irritated, but in the end they come around and realize *Yes, I am acting like an ass*. |
This presents a problem in the feeding grounds "workplace" and at the watering holes "pubs, cafes" as E is necessary for social interaction and making a living and it spooks the ESFJ.
The INTP may have to morph-shift through the different functions, but must beware that some shifts lead to suicide. This is the operation of too much Introverted Thinking without the other functions.
The INTP needs to find a habitat without the Guardian predominance. They are likely to "Beat him Up".
This INTP has to be very careful to avoid the Rat XSFJ.
