Like an Indian… INTP

Get it? INTP… I in teepee? Hahahahahah… Uh, ok, nevermind. However, I stumbled across this new personality site that is pretty cool. Check out my results:

You can also join a new group I’ve created there.

Here’s the skinny on an INTP:

  • “INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.” – INTP Profile (TypeLogic)
  • “The INTP is above all a thinker and his inner (private) world is a place governed by a strong sense of logical structure. Every experience is to be rigorously analysed, the task of the INTP’s mind is to fit each encountered idea or experience into a larger structure defined by logic.” – An INTP Profile (intp.org)
  • “INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the “absent-minded professors”, who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions.” – Portrait of an INTP (The Personality Page)
  • “The Architects’ distant goal is always to rearrange the environment somehow, to shape, to construct, to devise, whether it be buildings, institutions, enterprises, or theories. They look upon the world — natural and civil — as little more than raw material to be reshaped according to their design…” – The Portrait of the Architect Rational (iNTp) (Keirsey)
  • “INTPs contribute a logical, system-building approach to their work. They like being the architect of a plan, because of the scheming and thinking involved, far more than being the implementer of that plan. Implementation tends to be drudgery. They are content to sit back and think about what might work, given their view of the situation. INTPs may ignore standard operating procedures. The hours that they spend are not what is important to them, but rather the completion of their thought process” – INTP – The Wizard (Lifexplore)
  • “…likes solitude, not revealing, unemotional, rule breaker, avoidant, familiar with the darkside, skeptical, acts without consulting others” – Jung Type Descriptions (INTP) (similarminds.com)

On this day...

  • I am also an INTP.

    We are a weird bunch.

  • Love the test. This I think is much better than the others. It was actually pretty accurate.

  • [...] jeff took this test and then started a little club for people with the same personality traits. hmm… is one of the traits of an INTP to be exclusionary? actually, i think the group is not just for INTP’s, but for anyone who takes this test (still somewhat exclusionary, but at least you arent forever barred from joining just because of your personality.. just go ahead and take the test!). [...]

  • You have a lot of intuition. :)

    It says I’m an ENFP… but I’m pretty sure I should’ve swayed more to the I. It sounds more like me.

  • ISTP…was mine.

  • So do you know how this correlates with the temperatments test? As in sanguine, choleric, melancholy, phlegmatic. Or otter, lion, retriever, and whatever the other one is?

    I don’t really do well on personality tests. I ended up in therapy trying to take one several years back. I’m still not really over it.

    But looks like you all are having fun, so good on you.

  • Hi, I see we are both INTPs. That’s how I found you online, looking for INTP blogs and personal sites to see if I can find some people who’d like to join the discussion at our mailing list discussion group at http://www.intp-list.org/ . The list has been around for about seven years but it needs some new perspectives so I hope you’ll join us! Just jump right in if you like. No introductions necessary (but those are nice too).
