INTP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

INTP (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, of which the best-known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics.

Referring to Keirsey, INTPs belong to the temperament of the rationals and are called "Architects".

In Socionics INTps belong to the club of the researcher, the gamma Quadra and are named "Critics" or Balzac. Another notation for INTp is ILI (which is an acronym for Intuitive-Logical Intratim, referring to the cognitive functions).

[edit] Characteristics

INTP types are quiet, thoughtful individuals who don't mind spending long periods of time on their own working through problems and forming solutions. They are very curious about systems and how things work, and are frequently found in careers such as science, architecture and law. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations and the caring professions, although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They also tend to have a strong dislike for the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies and politics prevalent in many professions.
