INTP Male Psychological Profile

Spoiler: Highlight to view

Male critics are not demonstrative and silent; they enjoy doing what they love, sitting in some quiet corner, such as the Internet, where they feel like a fish in water (at home or at work - whatever). They don't suffer from a lack of community. They have little interest in people, the most important thing for them is to keep their minds in constant creative tension. But if a worthy interlocutor can be found, the "critic" can spend hours discussing the topic of his interest with him.

Man "critic" has a poor understanding of how to develop relationships with the opposite sex and even worse to navigate the world of feelings, so he keeps flat and indifferent. He himself does not realize how he gets involved in a relationship, and notices the problem only when it is time to do something about it - get married or split up.

Due to the fact that men of this type are poorly oriented in love, they behave extremely cautiously. It is useless to ask them what their feelings are - they don't know it themselves. You have to be guided by the cases. Women's determination and certainty in dealing with "critics" is welcome.

The wives of "critics", can sleep well - financially the family will be provided for. The range of professions for "critics" is quite large. They will always find a way to get money without killing themselves at work or finding a lucrative freelance job. Some of them, having earned a decent amount of money, sometimes allow themselves to rest at home for a couple of months, indulging in intellectual pursuits. But you can ignore that, they will not be left without a livelihood. At the right time - no sooner or later - the "critic" will find a way to make the next batch of money.

Housekeeping, domesticity doesn't really get this man's attention. He spares the effort and time to put in order that nobody needs, from his point of view, - it's fine as it is, as long as there is an interesting enough virtual life. So don't expect him to get actively involved in domestic problems. As a daddy, the male "critic" is not aggressive, likes to joke and is most often friends with his children, but his main task is their intellectual development.

He avoids (because he really does not like) the violent manifestation of feelings and noisy companies with empty, meaningless banging. Bright emotions from other people are also unbearable for him, so do not try to act out dramas and tragedies in front of him. If women get too carried away with such theatrical performances or too often sort out relationships, one day he will simply disappear from your horizon or will feel immensely unhappy.

But in order for women not to feel unhappy with the "critic", you need to learn how to inspire and activate him, because he gets stuck in business and is often unable to force himself to take the necessary actions in time.

INTP Female Psychological Profile

Spoiler: Highlight to view

Women "critics" do not like to stand out. She keeps modestly, as if in the shadows, but a sharp, critical mind and an amazing ability to foresee become noticeable quite quickly - as soon as you start communicating with this girl on business.

She is characterized by a skeptical attitude towards literally everything. No enthusiasm, enthusiastic way of thinking, violent emotions. She is an observer, a skeptic, and her forecasts are more often brightly colored negative, although she herself calls them common sense.

For all her gentleness and friendliness, she is quite well limited to a small company or with one or two girlfriends and does not suffer at all from this. At the same time, she is not averse to supporting the company, sometimes she likes to be with people, however, her environment is always smart, intelligent, developed people with whom there is something to talk about. Discos, crowded gatherings, where there is a lot of noise and laughter, but there is no point, quickly get bored with them. If, under the influence of the fact that it is so accepted, they still go there, then most of them recover after that for a day or two.

In general, with their characteristic manner of criticizing everything and being in opposition to everything, one can often hear indignant hissing from female "critics" on one occasion or another: "Well, it's impossible! Impossible!" It is difficult for them to assume that people, in fact, can be so stupid that they are not able to foresee the consequences of their actions two steps ahead.

She herself has a good idea of the situation and knows how it will develop, many steps ahead. She approaches everything thoughtfully and will never link her fate with a man who will not be able to justify her hopes. She firmly knows that in order to create a family and have children, money and an apartment are needed, and not at all mental longing, physical attractiveness or irresistible charm of a partner, as girls of some other types believe.

The girl "critic" is not only smart, but also cautious and prudent. She would never do anything to harm her. And if the partner does not suit her in something essential, then sooner or later, he will be left as unpromising without much regret. Of course, this does not mean that they cannot love, they just understand how important the material side of life is, and they cannot ignore it when choosing a partner. Even if it seems to you that she agreed to a "paradise in a hut", take a closer look at her partner. Maybe he is still a student, but it is possible that she has long seen in him a promising husband with great career opportunities and, of course, money.

When meeting a girl from the caste of "critics", you should not be too buffoonish - so you will not make a good impression on her. It is better to bet on intelligence and wit, this will find a response and understanding among representatives of this type, and they will be sure that they are not in vain losing time with you. Work on your appearance and state of mind - these girls like prestigious, but not too fuzzy partners. If the acquaintance took place, and the relationship began to develop, avoid any dramatizations and try to sort out the relationship as little as possible.

The fact is that, logically, the "critic" will give you a hundred points ahead, you still won't be able to prove anything to her, but in terms of emotions, this may cause her to dislike you. These girls hate violent showdowns. They find it hard to tolerate other people's vivid emotions, because they do not understand them, and the intensity of passions itself tires them very much. So try to maintain a good, friendly, calm relationship, to which this girl is very responsive.

The only failure in a normal life program can happen if the "critic" is unable to pull himself together and overcome two things: lack of enthusiasm (hence frequent periods of laziness) and arrogance (they say, I'm smarter than everyone anyway, so why should I sit at the same desk with fools).

At work, "critics" are absolutely irreplaceable. They are extremely quick-witted and intelligent, they learn quickly and rarely get confused in their work. They almost never have to repeat twice what to do and how to do it.

Since their career is completely real for them, and household duties are quite boring, Of course, it is pleasant for them to cook something unique for guests and look after them one evening. But by and large they don't like to cook.

Small children, around whom all sorts of lisping are usually bred, do not attract them too much - the senselessness of an infant and the need to show a lot of emotions repels them. They prefer it when the children grow up a little, get into the mind and you can talk to them, give them information, discuss interesting problems, teach them about life.
