INTP – The Thinkers

The logical and analytical type. They are especially attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding subtle connections between things and imagine far-reaching implications.

They enjoy working with complex things using a lot of concepts and imaginative models of reality. Since they are not very good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people, they might come across as arrogant, impatient and insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about.

Ouch! As an INFJ I had to winch at “insensitive” in that second paragraph! Thinking is actually my tertiary functional preference but one I had hoped to develop more through blog writing – so this might not be so far off!
