Dual (One or more preferences that fall in the middle):
The INTP/ISTP will be more comfortable with absolutes than a strong INTP. They will be less argumentative and more likely to follow a set routine than the strong INTP because of the higher sensing side. For example, ISTP’s are creatures of habits even if they do not always follow-through with events and activities but an INTP literally goes with the flow according to when they feel like it regardless of set guidelines. Therefore an INTP/ISTP will appear a little more traditional.
The INTP/ENTP will be more sociable and as a result exert more outward confidence than the reserved INTP. They will also possess some of the extroverted characteristics from the ENTP such as being charming, more playful, and humorous.
The INTP/INTJ will possess a higher desire for organization and completing assignments. They may appear less concerned with finishing everything they start and may have a lower stress level because they chose projects they want to finish, rather than start a lot of projects and not finishing anything.
