Then you should make a post about their dissimilarity if you think they are so different. It would perhaps help some people out.I've often seen people stuck between the two while typing, but I think the two types are very different.
I don't think you understood my question. By asking why people get them confused, I'm asking what similarities people see in them that I'm missing. I believe they are different from first-hand experience, but I'm looking for an outside or more educated opinion.Then you should make a post about their dissimilarity if you think they are so different.

You should still have elaborated on your first hand-experience, it might be interesting.I don't think you understood my question.

I took the cognitive functions test and got an INTJ! So I ended up having to round all the numbers for my signature. I am probably more INTP because my Ne is much higher than my Te...Back when I took a cognitive functions test after getting my original dichotomy-based result of INTJ, I scored such high Ti that I was given INTP as a likely match. That confused me for awhile until I got used to the parameters of all these theories and spent some time reading the profiles. I now have a much clearer perception of where I sit on the INTJ/INTP scale, and admittedly INTPs seem rather different from me.
You are sorely mistaken, my dear fellow. INTJs do not think about INTPs until we run across your silly threads on the new posts page. More times than not, INTPs complain and whine about INTJs. I dare you to find one thread in our forum that talks about INTPs, that wasn't created by an INTP. INTJs are the ones who don't give a ----.Some people will see all IxTx types the same way, depending on how removed they are from introversion or thinking themselves, ''quiet'' implies several different things about a person that may not be at all accurate. This is especially true outside of typology.
Otherwise, it varies. Some people of both types believe they are very different and some believe they're more similar.
ln my experience with INTPs on the forum, the INTJs tend to view the INTPs as being more similar to them. INTP's don't really give a shit.
Dearest Madame-You are sorely mistaken, my dear fellow. INTJs do not think about INTPs until we run across your silly threads on the new posts page.

The people who get confused between INTP and INTJ are usually neither. They want to fit into the intelligent group, and usually answer the various tests untruthfully so that they may fit. The difference between INTP and INTJ is not the p/j spectrum - it is the cognitive order, Ni vs Ti, Ne vs Te, etc. The p vs j is silly.
Not offended,Dearest Madame-
l hope that with further consideration, you might find it in your heart of hearts to forgive me. l wouldn't want this to come between us.
Regards,
Your Dear Fellow
Poor explanations on the differences between the two types based on a combination of wishful thinking and flat out denial and projection of negative traits.I have two friends who are INTJs, and I'm an INTP. I've often seen people stuck between the two while typing, but I think the two types are very different. Does anyone have an explanation to the confusion?
