Overview: INTP (Introversion/Intuition/Rationality/Understanding) is a Jungian-based analysis MBTI, Keirsey Temperament Sorter and the personality types of social personality developed by psychology. Characteristics: INTPs are free creatives and scholars with flying thoughts. They are easily distracted but have endless creativity. A penchant for and deep understanding of abstract concepts enables them to engage in any work that is creative and challenging. They are impulsive and easy to come up with ideas, and these ideas may be very genius. Sometimes these ideas may also make INTP lost, because they always have new ideas. INTPs will feel frustrated if they have too many details or deadlines for mechanical work. When encountering a deadline, they will constantly ask for extensions. INTPs almost all have one or more related fields that they are good at, which can be described as extremely talented. Once they are lucky enough to be engaged in an industry that suits their appetite, they will excel professionally with their superiority. In a short period of time, people’s understanding can reach a level that many people may not be able to reach in years, decades, or even a lifetime. However, in other fields outside of these fields where they shine brilliantly, due to long-term desolation, many problems that are not problems to ordinary people can stump them, such as daily life, perhaps a piece of housework that suddenly pops up. Little things can expose their clumsy side and turn them from genius to idiot in no time. INTP characteristics can make this type of person willing to pursue adventure, but this may conflict with their preference for being alone with their thoughts. For INTP, the outside world is wonderful, but it may interfere with the introspection of INTP’s introverted world. INTPs will encounter gender issues, and the specific circumstances will be different. For female INTPs, they are often in a dilemma: society’s traditional definition of women is always contrary to their natural preferences. For example, INTPs may be independent, anti-authority, argumentative, sometimes have some social difficulties (this is related to the strength of their I), and they often ignore social traditions and customs. When these are combined with their INT traits of intelligence, nonchalantness, etc., we can imagine the dilemma INTP women might find themselves in. This dilemma is further complicated by INTP women’s inability to express themselves. In situations that require intellectual investment, the INTP woman may prevail, but at the expense of alienating others.
Generally speaking, INTP will make sufficient preparations before deciding to invest in a project. This is because, first, they don’t want to appear incompetent; second, these preparations-research, reading, and planning things are what INTP likes to do; third, INTP needs a good entry point. In an environment of unappreciation and even suspicion, things can be even harder for women. People will admire a sharp and calm person, but if it is a woman, people will think that she is a bit cold and callous, ignoring the emotional needs of others, like an old scholar, without the tenderness of women. The situation for male INTPs is relatively easy, because calmness is a requirement of society for men. Even so, they will encounter some problems. For example, their easy-going and changeable personality may conflict with TJ managers in most organizations. INTPs are often reminded to stay grounded, “Stop daydreaming, get back to work”, or “I hope you can abide by the rules.” Another problem is that INTPs lack social awareness. Usually INTPs are not good at socializing. This is more prominent in men, while women are relatively easy to adjust. INTPs may not be enthusiastic about company parties or other social events, which can make coworkers feel like they don’t fit in. In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to participate. If they find this kind of party tolerable, they will even enjoy it. But if the event lasts too long, or if there are no meaningful conversations or exchanges at the gathering, they will feel it is a waste of time. Therefore, INTPs would rather continue to work and look for “meaningful dialogue” in their own world. Regardless of men or women, INTPs may end up feeling guilty because they have not fulfilled their social responsibilities. But if they are forced to fulfill this responsibility, they may think, “I’m in trouble again.” At work, INTPs are a source of ideas. They are most efficient when working alone, and they are often creative, energetic, and full of fun. They like new projects and brainstorming. For INTPs, life and work are an intellectual challenge. They must think carefully and deeply before doing things. They prefer clear and precise expressions in words and cannot tolerate ambiguities or theoretical statements that are inconsistent: for example, both for and against. Generally speaking, it is easier to work with INTP people. They like to have fun at work, think independently, and like work with strong autonomy. They see life as learning. Therefore, any activity that can develop intelligence is of great value. From hands-on disassembly to drafting project proposals, they are all opportunities for learning and growth. This is the main driving force that motivates INTPs. For INTP people, the most important thing is that their privacy is not violated and they can solve complex problems in their own unique way. INTP people are diligent in thinking and analysis, and sometimes they even forget about the world around them and become immersed in deep thinking. A more accurate description of INTP people is: if someone’s understanding is slightly biased, they will find ways to correct it. It is this keen discernment of INTP people that gives them a natural advantage over others in areas such as grammar and linguistics. In most situations, INTP people can be happy-go-lucky and reasonable. They are unwilling to express themselves in public; only when their principles are violated, they will speak out and speak frankly, and then immediately return to friendly The atmosphere was silent. INTP people always have a sense of failure and worry that they will fail in the next thing. When they debate, they are not persuading each other as much as they are persuading themselves. In this regard, INTJ people are completely different from INTP people. They are quite confident in their abilities. As long as they believe in it, they dare to do it.
INTP’s energy source is introverted and introspective (I). Their impression of the world is conceptual, abstract and arbitrary, with endless possibilities (N), which is also the basis for decision-making. Their decisions are objective and strictly consider causal links (T). All this forms a flexible, casual and highly adaptable lifestyle (P). Therefore, complex systems such as mathematics, language, and computers are what INTP people like and are willing to work hard to try. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems are often unconscious behaviors of INTPs. They can completely selflessly separate and express wonderful logical systems, interconnected subsystems, and the environment; for them, completing tasks is just a secondary task. need. Description: Independent and calm; broad-minded and innovative; curious and enterprising; rational, easy-going and adaptable; independent but not blindly obedient. INTP people are rational problem solvers. They are very intelligent and organized, and show outstanding creative talents. INTP people appear calm, silent, and detached on the outside; but on the inside they are focused on analyzing problems. They are demanding, meticulous, and skeptical. They strive to find and utilize principles to understand many ideas. They like structured and purposeful conversations and may argue about unhelpful and trivial matters just for the pleasure of it. Only coherent reasoning will convince them. Usually INTP people are resourceful thinkers with independent opinions. They value intelligence, have a strong desire for personal abilities, and are capable and interested in challenging others. INTPs are primarily interested in understanding possibilities beyond what is accurately known, accepted, and obvious. They enjoy developing patterns to improve things or solve difficult problems. They think in extremely complex ways and are better able to organize concepts and ideas than people. Sometimes their ideas are so complex that they are difficult to express to others and be understood. INTP people are very independent and like adventurous and imaginative activities. They are flexible and open-minded, and are more interested in discovering original and reasonable solutions than just seeing ready-made solutions in front of them. INTP people have almost no emotions, ignore criticism and praise, and like to be bystanders by nature. They have no strong motivation to influence others, and they have no intention of hurting or offending others. INTPs’ attention to other people’s feelings is basically zero under normal circumstances. More often, they just want to express their true opinions. They gain a sense of accomplishment through the process of logical reasoning and feeling self-growth. Cognitive Function: Seeking precision, such as the most appropriate word to express a concept. It notices trivial differences in the nature of things and then analyzes and categorizes them. Ti scrutinizes every side of a problem, looking for the least effortful, least risky way to solve it. It uses models to identify logical inconsistencies. Calm, clear, and mindful of the forces that hold reality together. As an introverted thinking type, INTP’s energy and time are mainly used to manage the principles in the inner, logical world (the essence of things, the original rules of things). and generalize it into something understandable. Ti as the dominant function tends to be more similar to generalized logic. Look for and interpret hidden meanings, use “what if” questions to explore options, and allow multiple possibilities to coexist. This imaginary play brings together intuition and experiences and ideas from many different sources into something new, which may become a catalyst for action. Allows INTPs to understand the patterns of the world around them. They use their intuition to turn empirical data into coherent pictures from which general principles can be derived. INTPs often think hard about a problem for a long time, until they finally come up with the answer through a moment of insight.
Collect data about the present and then compare them with past experiences. This process sometimes occurs as memories are evoked and The feeling of connection is like experiencing the past again. Seeking to protect the familiar, looking back to history to form expectations and goals for the future. Gives the INTP the potential for keen observation. They use this function to collect experience-based data, utilize material tools, perceive material relationships, and use an ample sensory space to support their internal logic. Seek social connections and create harmonious communication with polite, considerate, and appropriate manners. Responding to the explicit (or implicit) needs of others, and may even create conflicts between inner self-needs and desires to satisfy others. Make the INTP crave harmony in the group. When they feel most relaxed, or when they have a clearly defined role in the group, INTPs can be charming and forthright friends. However, when under stress, INTPs may feel disconnected from those around them and unable to communicate with others using their Extraverted Feeling. As their weakest function, emotion can be a weakness: when threatened, it will take cover behind emotionless logic. This may lead them to suppress their emotions in order to preserve sanity and harmony; but when these hidden emotions cannot be controlled, they can lead to inappropriate outbursts. Later personality type researchers (notably Linda V. Behrens) added four additional features to this descending order. These functions are called hidden functions because a person does not naturally gravitate toward them, but they can emerge under stress. For the INTP, these hidden functions are organizing and arranging circumstances and ideas (in order) to successfully achieve goals. More inclined to reasoning and narrow logic in logic, seeking reasonable explanations for actions, events and conclusions, and trying to find logical errors and gaps in the sequence. Synthesizing seemingly contradictory things into previously unimaginable results, it is also drawn to the symbolic. Achieving these outcomes is often accompanied by the certainty that action is required to accomplish them, and the solutions may include complex systems or general truths. Focus on the experiences and feelings brought about by the present, physical world. With a keen awareness of what’s going on around you in the moment, it brings relative facts and details about what’s ahead, and can lead to spontaneous action. Filter information based on judgments based on (often invisible) standards. Fi always harmonizes values. It is innately attuned to subtle differences in every situation and knows what is right and what is wrong. Personality Blind Spot: Because INTP people rely too much on their rational analysis, they will ignore things related to others. If an aspect is illogical, they will risk abandoning it even if it is important to them. Acknowledging what they really care about will help them stay in touch with their true emotions. INTPs are adept at observing flaws in an idea, but are reticent about expressing their own evaluations. Because they refuse to allow even a hint of illogicality in the overall plan, they stall when a small error in one part of the plan makes it difficult to complete the entire project. When they apply their highly honed critical thinking to those around them, their honesty can turn into an unintentional disservice. They must be told, and they must learn to ask about matters that are emotionally relevant to others. () Because INTP people like to solve problems, they are often impatient with routine details, and if a plan requires too many details or long-term implementation, they will Losing interest and never completing the plan. Directing their energy outward will enable them to gain sufficient practical knowledge to generate viable ideas that others can accept. INTPs sometimes feel troubled when they struggle to maintain their own high standards of perfection. Learning to share feelings with others will help them gain a more realistic and objective perspective.
