How to catch an INTP - by an ISTP who caught one

The box

INTPs love boxes. A very simple trap will work, maybe because INTPs tend to look for complex systems and ideas, and they don’t have Se to recognize the simple, stupid things like an ISTP. So all you really need is a large cardboard box, a stick to prop it up with, and a book as bait (preferably a classic, INTPs like that sort of thing). The brilliance of this plan is that the INTP will catch his/herself. They’ll climb in the box, and even kick the stick out for you because it’s a cozy spot, content to read (You may want to punch a hole in the top to light their book). Tossing extra fuzzy blankets in the box may help, just in case.

The pitfall

Dig a hole. If you have upper-level Se, you probably like to dig holes anyway. Then cover it up; sticks, leaves, and you don’t really have to do a great job of hiding it. This one is trickier, but you can do it. Find out a few things the INTP is passionate about. Usually science (particularly theories), literature, even politics and psychology are a good bet. Then implore them to come outside with you, it’s best if there’s something out-of-the ordinary you can convince them to come see. Next, simply walk along with them, and be sure to keep throwing ideas at them, if you hit a good one they will do most of the talking. This will keep them occupied with the conceptual realm, and they won’t notice the pit you are leading them to. Tadaa! INTP in a hole.

The joker

INTPs seem fascinated with Se, so if you have it, use it. Do something. Climb trees, jump off stuff, make something with your hands, tell lots of terrible puns. Then, while they’re making their observations, suddenly grab their hand and start running.

The con

Appeal to their little feelings. The trick is to look pitiful, but not too desperate. They have to like you first, so you may have to establish some rapport. Then, toss them a line. Show them you are being vulnerable, but not needy. It has to be kind of like a puzzle, where they want to figure out what the issue is and what you’re like, don’t just dump all your feelings out at once. Do let them help, they tend to be very insightful. Then be honest, stay honest, and be friends. They’ll never see it coming.

The adventure

Plan something fun, but invite them last-minute (be sure you know that their schedule is open at that time). They like spontaneous, or in this instance, the appearance thereof. Plan a picnic and a hiking trip. Be sure to collect animal and plant specimens. It may not be the INTPs favorite thing to do, but they will find it fascinating and unique, and may well have a hard time saying “no.” Make sure to wander much farther into the woods than you deem wise, that way they’ll probably have to rely on you to get back, and then you have them.

The secret

The real way you catch an INTP is… you don’t. You may catch their eye or their interest, but if you try to hold on to one, it will either try to escape or wither in your grasp. The only way to catch one is if they choose to stay. All you have to do is keep giving them reason to stay. **Her brief thoughts on how to catch an ISTP**

Probably a simple hole in the ground, well hidden of course, on the way to food. The trick is making the hole big enough so that they can’t easily climb out or make it so that they don’t want to. A pool of Jell-o might work.

“You may catch their eye or their interest, but if you try to hold on to one, it will either try to escape or wither in your grasp” true shit
