I am another INTP who is SO glad to have found this site and others for the Myers-Briggs types to socialize. In typical INTP fashion, I don't socialize a lot outside of my laptop (my bff), but I just had to say something here. Before I discovered I was an INTP and an introvert and read all about my type, I was often depressed and worried that there might be something wrong with me, because compared to all my teenage peers, I wasnt peppy or talkative AT ALL. I always feel my most lonely in a crowd, because I basically disappear. I have also never been good at flirting, and no boys ever notice me anyway, because I'm so quiet and nerdy. All my journal (my other bff) entries were filled with discouraged questions ("why am I so invisible?" "is it wrong to be as quiet and socially awkward as I am?"), until I found this site and 16personities.com. Now I am so relieved to understand who I am, how I work, and most of all that being invisible in a crowd is just the way I was made, and that it is ok to be that way. In fact, I had no idea that the Myers-Briggs test was so widely known and done by so many people I know! Just by mentioning it and that I am an INTP, I have discovered so many others like me, and gotten to know my very few close friends (ring any bells with INTPS?) much better by having them do the test too. I love this meme; although the wrong type, it basically sums up how I feel now: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/5a/38/96/5a38969f1b051cc6cf255...
I hope all other people, INTPs or not, find this site and this comment as encouraging as I have!
