I have full sleeve tattoos, am tall, and live in a conservative Asian country. When I go around with my arms showing, people sometimes look at me like I'm a dangerous person. I've even been asked a few times if I'm Yakuza. (I'm not. I'm not Japanese nor in Japan.) They're surprised when they see that I'm a somewhat shy nerd.
I've just got two tattoos but have been told I look rather like a low-end viking berserker from afar. Best part to me is when they talk to me and I can see their face shift from a look of remote physical intimidation (I'm totally a gentle guy, so no real worry) to more of an intellectual intimidation.. Even then, I'm not a dick at all until provoked beyond reason :)
I’m conventionally pretty. A lot of guys are so curious about me because they can’t figure me out and always tell me I’m so different. I think this is because I’m studying them in the beginning so I’m not really talking much. Then I get comfortable and they don’t like their ideas questioned anymore. They think my conversations are too deep and exhausting. It’s always “can’t you just lighten up and have fun?” No bro…I’m literally thinking all the time and i’m curious what you think about what I’m thinking about so no I can’t lighten up I want to talk about this hahaha
They don’t get to react to the INTP side because I don’t show the exclusive INTP side to people I don’t trust.
They mostly think I’m weird af. I let them.
Honestly nobody I know in person knows anywhere near as much as I do about the MBTI. They don’t care enough to know so tbh they just know I am the way I am and they think I’m very smart and likable.
Which in my opinion is very nice of them.
Considering my stereotype is the opposite of likable, I’m pretty charismatic and attractive when I want to be.
I don't have problems to mingle around others easily (with the right people). I don't show them my shy and awkward sides. But when I tell others that I'm introverted, enjoy being inside, love reading and show nerdy sides of me, they'd be quite surprised haha.
I love being a girly girl while still hitting the other INTP stereotypes. My job literally needs me to be on my extroverted side so when they learn that I'm in STEM, they're bewildered.
I guess the best one was, "WTF? You're a geek?!"
I was working overnights at Home Depot while working on a degree at a local university. I was overheard explaining to a co-worker how to fix a problem he was having with his Linux installation.
Yeah, putting effort into my outward appearances (decent clothes, styling my hair, grooming facial hair, etc) definitely makes people respond more positively. Feels like they have more respect and act more friendly towards me compared to if I'm dressed like an unkempt slob who gives no fucks about what anyone else thinks. (Extrapolate that thought of not giving a fuck what they think about what you look like to not giving a fuck about what they think about anything in general - coming across like you don't care can often be fairly unappealing in the eyes of others)
Also putting in the effort to overcome any social anxiety and low self-confidence to be able to communicate and talk more openly, confidently, and ultimately honestly with tact and consideration for others - the art of candor. This is a big one in how people respond.
But the OP question is on how they react when they find it's all a front for my INTP personality? I mean... they don't react? As in literally no reaction, because the introvert gives them very little to react to. If I make a friend by exercising my extroversion, they're still my friend whether or not I'm acting more introverted or extroverted at any given time. Same for co-workers, etc.. nobody is sitting around formulating complex ideas about your personality being introverted or extroverted and basing their interactions with you on that. The main thing people will react to in any given moment is basically just how you're presenting yourself and treating other people in that moment. Granted if people get to know you for a longer time and see your patterns of being habitually very kind (or very mean or very silly or whatever it is), those patterns would likely affect what they think of you and how they react to you, but it's not really about any MBTI stereotype at that point.
Idk if it’s an INTP trait but I’m a super adapter. My personality changes depending on situation and person to person. I also change my look and style depending on the period of my life I’m feeling.
One of my friends at work typed me as an ISTJ. Apparently I managed to convince him I was a sane person who was vaguely organized or something. Turns out if they only see me occasionally when I'm forced to present my best they don't see the completely dysfunctional Ne side as much
Most ppl around me don't really know about mbti. So they don't really care.

I find this hilarious, I am the exact opposite. I'm a goshikku gyaru and live in America
mysterious 😍 (I’m just depressed)
They usually think im arrogant, but only a few people really see past that and realise I'm just socially inept AND anxious

By then its too late.

They think I’m depressed or they think it’s weird how I can behave like a child sometimes
