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 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...

hi all, random question, have others toyed with the idea or live like an intentional recluse? as i have been exploring and accepting some of my behaviours under the INTP banner, its a theme that has come up. now i know its healthy to be social and to be engaging with the world etc, but i do...

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...

hi all, not sure if its an INTP trait, but i wanted to check in if it is. I find that i can obsess at times about work, even when fundamentally it doesnt interest me that much. so i will wake in the middle of the night by a work thought, or when i wake in the morning its on my brain first...

Do you broadly agree, that by default, we INTPs are Emotionally unintelligent? have you done anything to change it, and what has worked? i personally feel i have learnt about emotions and peoples responses in a more prescriptive fashion and through errors made and learnt, rather than having...

i have seen others post on this topic, but keen to take a view. given your intp type, have you chosen to have children, and if so, was it a conscious decision / decision of your partner. if you have chosen not to, why not. appreciate this is a big question with broad range of views, but feel...

hi all, i am continuing to learn about my INTP nature and its been quite revealing. one item that has struck me is the natural inclination to fall into being a nice guy to avoid conflict, and to please others. this is a big part of my upbringing as well. it seems like its a blocker often...

from reading into the intp type, it would make sense from a few different perspectives as to why i have plateud career wise, but also knowing my type, i dont overly care at times. however some element of not progressing is also frustrating. i find i dont think to take on leadership roles and...

hi all, i recently read the above book, and found it quite illuminating for me. as i am new to my intp label, wondered what others thought of this book? thanks Mark

question please: Are INTPs constructed due to rearing and childhood circumstance, or are they already intps on birth? or another way, can circumstances make someone intp? is it set in stone, or evolving thoughts?

hi all, i have recently had the penny drop about my INTP nature, and having now read a couple of books, its really helping. i have had therapy for the past few years due to a bad family situation growing up - so that was needed. however the last year has been more about me discovering myself...
