what were most common types

Those of us that took it were mostly just curious as it was actually a pretty fun retreat for the first time in our life. We actually got a couple days off during this week if we attended (it wasn't mandatory).,

if you were an INTJ you'd be capable of understanding this but you're not (everyone other than INTJs are dumb)

An INTJ's second function is Extraverted Thinking. Here's an AI slop summary for you

Why INTJs can look conformist (even when they don’t think they are)

INTJs use something called Extraverted Thinking (Te). You don’t need to know the technical details, but the gist is this: Te relies on external systems of logic—things that have already been validated by society, institutions, or the “group consensus.” That doesn’t mean INTJs aren’t independent thinkers, but when it comes to making decisions, they’ll often lean on what’s already proven, efficient, or prestigious in the outside world.

That’s why, despite being curious and innovative in many areas, INTJs can end up following the group’s definition of what counts as “the smart path,” “the successful option,” or “the prestigious achievement.” From the outside, this can look like a kind of conformity—aligning with established standards instead of questioning them.

How ENTPs/INTPs contrast

ENTPs and INTPs, on the other hand, rely on Introverted Thinking (Ti). Ti is more of an internal filter of logic: it asks, “Does this idea make sense on its own terms? Does it actually hold up, regardless of what the group says?” That internal filter often catches flaws in the group’s reasoning or exposes when something is mostly hype or tradition rather than solid truth.

So while an INTJ might be inclined to go along with what looks efficient, widely respected, or institutionally sound, an ENTP/INTP is more likely to poke holes in it and say, “Wait, that doesn’t actually add up.”

⸻

Put simply:

• INTJs (Te) → tend to follow the logic of the outside world (systems, institutions, prestige markers).

• ENTPs/INTPs (Ti) → tend to check things against their own inner logic, even if it contradicts the outside world.

That’s why INTJs can look more conformist, even though they see themselves as visionaries—and why ENTPs often look like contrarians, even when they’re actually just applying their own internal BS filter.

If you contrast INTJs with INTPs, the difference shows up pretty clearly. INTPs, who run on Introverted Thinking (Ti), are the “absent-minded genius” archetype: head in the clouds, lost in abstractions, caring mainly about knowledge for its own sake. They’re notoriously un-materialistic. They don’t care what’s fashionable or prestigious, and often don’t even notice when they’re “out of sync” with what society values. It’s not stubbornness—it’s just that their internal filter is only tuned to logical consistency, not to social validation.

By contrast, INTJs—despite their reputation as lone wolves—often reveal a streak of material or aesthetic concern that lines up with the group’s idea of status. You see them pay close attention to style, cultivating a certain image, or being drawn to prestige markers that are recognized by the outside world. Think of stories like Sam Altman, an archetypal INTJ, spending over a million dollars on a single car. It’s not random extravagance—it’s an example of Te plugging into what’s “established” as desirable or impressive.

That’s really the core distinction:

• INTPs (Ti) → don’t care if something is socially impressive; they care if it makes sense internally. They’ll happily disregard the Joneses altogether.

• INTJs (Te) → even when they’re original thinkers, they filter their decisions through external logic systems: what’s efficient, prestigious, or validated in the world. That can translate into conforming to material or aesthetic standards, even if they’d never describe themselves as “conformist.”

So when you notice INTJs caring about looking sharp, driving a certain car, or aligning with prestigious institutions, it’s not hypocrisy. It’s Te in action—using group logic as a benchmark for what matters, in a way Ti users simply wouldn’t.

status is useful as a means to an end, as is conventional wisdom, contextual expert consensus, etc. INTJs are always thinking about ends, not means. they're extremely goal-oriented and forward-thinking. i'm not sure if INTPs ever think about ends much at all

in general, people who are on opposite sides of this dichotomy have a lot of trouble understanding each other

And that is exactly what I am criticizing here. The INTJ approach, as you just described it yourself, is about using whatever narrative or status structure works in the moment, regardless of truth or integrity. The ends benefit you personally (sometimes, INTPs and ENTPs see through it, are always infuriated by it and will draw attention to it given the opportunity) but they undermine trust and create damage for society as a whole.

It sounds like you do not have a concern about this, and in fact you are agreeing with me on the core point.

We can see it clearly with Benzo (stated multiple times he's INTJ). His rap sheet shows stealing money, assaulting family members, and other behavior that has nothing to do with empathy or progressive values. Yet on this board he is one of the most outspoken progressive voices. He does not live by those values in his personal life, but he still wants to be associated with the "prestigious" side, because that is where INTJs want to be seen.

You can see the same pattern with Destiny. He is publicly aligned with progressive causes, but look at his actions. After the Trump assassination attempt, he goes on Piers Morgan and says Trump and his supporters “reap what they sow” and that he was there “to watch the harvest.” That is not empathy. On top of that, he is now caught in a scandal over sexual messages with an underage girl, and other accusations about recording and sharing sexual content without consent. None of this behavior is consistent with the progressive values of empathy and inclusion that he claims to represent.

This is what I mean. INTJs often attach themselves to the prestigious side (because of their stratospheric opinions of themselves) and signal that alignment, but the values themselves are not always internally held. ENTPs and INTPs could never do this. Ti forces a consistency check, so if there is hypocrisy it creates friction internally. That makes Ti users more intellectually honest in practice.
