hi all, keen to take your opinions on INTPs in the supporting professions, i mean therapists, councillors etc i am tempted by it, but i also know emotional discord i find difficult to handle, but pragmatic advice giving and support giving i have gotten much wiser at i ask this question as...

hi, i have read some posts / articles that discuss that due to the complexities of relationships, and nature of the working world, INTPs in general end up following their own path or become less focused on their work in the formal sense. do you agree, have others done this, and if so how? i...

i agree with this also, but its not my forte, but have been trying. big part of it, is takingg things personally so that needs to stop thank you

thank you, this has happened, but i am in an odd work position, as we arre a consultancy on site, and my boss doesnt take an interest in such things, and he does know, so it got brushed off its fine for now, i will just avoid this person as much as possible

i find that i am constantly thinking about work, even though i am not that interested in the work in of itself. its my obsessive trait. however there is another angle which relates to fear of performance at work also, although i have generally done well is this a common intp thing, or even...

hi all, looking for some assistance. i really struggle with conflict at work, given my intp nature, i dont know how to respond in the moment. on friday past, a new joiner who was getting frustrated went "bananas" on me, blaming me for things that factually dont make sense, and i tried to...

thanks i duplicated it, as i didnt know where it should be housed

hi all, i know its common that INTP types find philosophy and associated learnings alluring. now i was keen to find out if this also captured anthropology. its a topic that fascinates me - specifically paleo anthropology but my interest does go wider - unfortunately picked up only in the...

i think therapy has its place, for me, and i did it for a few years, i think it has helped me resolve complications from a bad upbringing and make me make sense of the outcomes and my life - would i have concluded the same things without therapy - yes, but likely take even longer. however...

i would like to get to this point, i feel the urge to defend myself still

hi all, i know its common that INTP types find philosophy and associated learnings alluring. now i was keen to find out if this also captured anthropology. its a topic that fascinates me - specifically paleo anthropology but my interest does go wider - unfortunately picked up only in the last...

thanks, appreciate the response and having thought about it more - i think its just new job adjustment (3/4 months in) and i am doing well - and i am pushing myself that bit further....and have taken on a role that has a lot more dependancy, so its an adjustment phase once i realise this a bit...
