Hi, I'm fairly certain I'm an INTP and have come to this forum to see how others cope in this crazy world. I'm currently a student although I learn most from self-education. I lose interest in just about everything within a short duration. My only foundations in life are exercise and nutrition. I am one of the most introverted entities I have ever encountered, although I have no problems in social interaction. If aliens sucked me up tomorrow and said I was designed for another planet I would only be slightly surprised.

I think it's a reasonable reaction.


OP, you have a ready and open mind, but I still don't think your #1. Apologies.

I can completely relate to feeling like the most introverted person you know. I often times find myself in the same mind set. I also find that I relate to Data from Star Trek frequently. Especially when it comes to handling emotions. To me, emotions are like when Data first got his emotion chip. They still remain a puzzle to me.

As far as self-education goes...it seems much easier to learn in this fashion. Especially since we can teach ourselves something through our own research on a specific topic or range of topics that are of interest to us. Most INTP's that I have met also learn in this fashion.

I find myself losing interest in projects and such rather quickly as well. Seems to be an INTP thing. We like learning new processes and theories, but we put more emphasis on the learning aspect of it. Once we see where it is going or feel as though we have mastered the subject or task, we lose interest rapidly and proceed to pursue something else new and intriguing to build upon our knowledge base. To me it is a never ending cycle and feels as if I am building my own personal library of never-ending knowledge of anything and everything. :-D

Someday our alien overlords will come for us and return us to our home planet, where everyone goes to university for the first thirty years of their lives, then gets paid to play video games and talk about theoretical physics on internet forums.

Haha only slightly surprised because I can be genetically linked to every other organism on this planet. @Kirazara you sound very similar to me, I like to think of my brain as an encyclopedia which is slowly being written. Being paid to play video games and talk theoretical physics would be utopia

That sounds like paradise! For me...making chain maille and getting paid for it would be my utopia.
