Just like us INTPs. Have you tried developing mobile apps? If you lack the money to set up an iOS dev machine, Android is open source(for now, at least...) so you can screw around with that without having to pay anything. From what I've read, programmers in your position tend to get excited by...

I've noticed that a huge part(maybe it's the only part) of 'finding what you're interested in' is believing that you have some inclination(whether inherent or developed) towards the field, and that you would want to work in it for a significant portion of your life. If you managed to change...
