How to Spot an INTP by Their Bedroom

pointlesslypointing:

imnottotallyaparadox:

• books anywhere but on the bookshelves
• except for the days when they reorganized their bookshelves because they consider that a hobby
• piles of notebooks that aren’t even half used, like maybe a quarter used at most
• odd little collections of rocks, feathers, seashells, coins that predate 1964, seemingly normal stuff
• but, as they’ll tell you, that rock there, the coprolite–it’s fossilized poop
• lots of nerdy stuff like maps of foreign countries they’ll never go to because money, NCEES-approved calculators they might have reprogrammed, etc
• large open spaces for walkways and then clutter
• but when they do clean their room every three months, it looks really nice. Like, INTJ worthy
• there is most likely a cat somewhere but the cat is probably hiding because it’s somehow more asocial than the INTP
• empty mugs from which they drank the all-glorious caffeine
  
• their laptop probably sits on some sort of shrine they unconsciously constructed from papers and books and notebooks and calculators
• putting the clothes somewhere that makes sense, like the closet or the dresser or at least over the back of the chair? Yeah, that’s optional

As an INTP who has taken the test on multiple different occasions with the same results, this is completely false. I live in a trash room, complete with rotting fruit I keep forgetting to take out because:

1. I don’t want people to see how I live
2. I’m lazy and too busy doing nothing
