| 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 typically are so strongly driven to turn problems into logical explanations, that they live much of their lives within their own heads, and may not place as much importance or value on the external world. INTPs value knowledge above all else. INTPs do not like to lead or control people. They have hardly any desire to direct the activities of others. Only when forced to by circumstance do they allow themselves to take charge of activities, and they exit the role as soon as they can without injuring the enterprise.The INTP is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people. On the other hand, the INTP is very self-confident and gregarious around people they know well, or when discussing theories which they fully understand. If the INTP is not able to find a place for themselves which supports the use of their strongest abilities, they may become generally negative and cynical. |
