Ni is not like that | There are certain scenarios in which an ISTP will appear similar to an INTJ, but those two as a whole are very different as well |

However, INTJs will be instinctively concerned with their own emotions, and oblivious to the external emotional environment | That said, we can expect some measure of turbulence from any perceiving P type |
ISTPs, by contrast, utilize Extraverted Sensing Se as their auxiliary function, fostering a greater interest in sensory and kinesthetic types of experiences.
18Conceived in this way, it is easier to see how some INTPs might be rightly described as assertive | They prefer to have a plan, and they prefer advance notice before altering their schedule |
