I'm actually borderline INTP. My F lean is very small, and both sides describe me equally well. I'm hardcore INP, though. I explore all perspectives of every situation and then go back and forth explaining them to each other so they can learn to co-exist.
My manager is INTJ. I'm the only person here who doesn't get pissed off at him regularly, and frequently explain to all my co-workers how he's easy to get along with if you just ___.
Oh, that's interesting! I typically go with exploring little micro-systems, then apply what I've learned from the micro-system to the larger system... it's all about constructing relationships between patterns. The J part largely comes in terms of the obsessive long-term planning and occasional attempts to alter systems, as well as a habit of keeping an "idealized system" in mind at all times (though I frequently update this mental model). I suppose I go in full P mode most of the time, taking J-side notes as to how I could apply the principles I've learned in a long-term xanatos gambit if I ever felt like it. It's kind of funny because when I'm observing I'll usually come off like a total airhead, and when I'm in application-mode I apparently seem shockingly cold and competent.
I don't get along with INTJs in general, though. Too cold (and, in my experience, arrogant), even though my lean is very heavy on the I, N, and T. I mean, I can figure out how to deal with them, but... I don't want to >_>

Don't you mean the conversatory?
BA DUM TISH
That's horrible, and I read it about three times before I saw what you'd actually written.
