Gender issues are especially pointed for the INTP female. While all of the internal conceptualizing, however misunderstood, may be tolerated in a male, society is less likely to tolerate the same characteristic in a female. The absentminded professor is another image more conventionally male than female. This creates at least three special problems for the INTP female: First, women historically have not been looked upon as the architects of much beyond their own homes and families. The constant desire to make life conform to a theoretical model, while true to the INTP preference, flies in the face of traditional female roles. Second, conceptual originality is similarly not a traditional female trait. Some INTPs, asked the time of day, would be tempted to expound on the philosophical meaning of time; this eccentricity in a man may be looked upon as the result of overintelligence, in a woman it may result in her being labeled "dizzy" or even "dumb." Finally, the Thinking preference of INTPs directly counters most females' scripting to be subjective, soft, and caring. Even worse, when an INTP female's feeling side does surface, it often does so with intensity, an outpouring that can be frightening to both herself and others.

lol i look forward to these frightening outpourings...it would be hilarious to capture on video and watch later...
ReplyDeletei like how the "blue" and "true" rhyme...
aww everyone should expound on the philosophical meaning of time every once in awhile...
so over-intelligence in men = dumb and dizzy in women...ugh sexism...
the T is your only objective quality...your INP are all subjective dimensions...
philosophical meaning of time expounding ftw
ReplyDeletealso, true about the T being the only objective dimension! that may be why this type has such trouble with feelings, being that they are of such subjective nature...
It wouldn't be so bad being an INTP female if it was socially acceptable to shave my head, dress like a man and get a boob reduction. I will forever be underestimated at work and remain single.
