The INTP has beyond their conscious functions, many unconscious personality traits. These are personality traits they are less aware of or completely unaware of. The shadow functions are extroverted intuition, extroverted thinking, introverted feeling, and introverted sensing. They are also thinking judging, intuitive judging, feeling perceiving, and sensing perceiving. What inhibits our ability to engage in or deal with the unconscious is our need for conscious control. It is also our strong desire to understand. Most importantly, it is our fear of being vulnerable or of not knowing what we are doing. The INTP Scientist wants to understand so much that it can avoid real opportunities and possibilities. Often, after going into the auxiliary, we experience a moment of heightened vulnerability or fear of judgement. The unconscious, inspirational function can feel scary or vulnerable. The unconscious autopilot on the other hand, we tend to deny we have outright. We do a lot of things every day but because they feel mundane we do not think them through carefully. We get lazy about certain things, and so, we miss their importance. But if we don't know our unconscious, how can we ever know ourselves?
