Another entrant passing through

[monsterfurby]

Greetings everyone!

I am, as some people around me have told me, the perfect fence-sitter between INTP and ISTP. Most INTP aspects apply to me - I often remark on (somewhat non-sequitur) details that others miss; I attempt to speak in the most correct manner possible and notice when others do not, I am in good standing with many people, although those I consider friends are a small group. On the other hand, though, I don't like planning and my experience has taught me that I usually can get by just via improvisation, and I am pretty decent at smooth-talking people (in order to prolong deadlines, for example).

But in the end, I feel more at home with the INTP archetype - judging from several descriptions, it's just a better fit.

As for my real-life background, I am 22 years old and currently in the process of finishing up my B.A. in Sinology.

In any case, I am looking forward to participating in this forum and reading about your experiences as INTPs.

Cheers,
Monsterfurby

Welcome aboard! I had to look up Sinology. I learned something new today! yay!

Ooh a Sinologist. I was almost an Assyriologist. We'd totally get crammed into the Oriental Studies faculty, unless Assyriology'd been moved to the Archaeology faculty.

This is exceptionally rare. I, myself, tend to test very close to XXXX, though I am a bit more I than E, a bit more N than S, a bit more T than F and a bit more P than J.

Nice to meet another INTP who isn't 100% N.

What a coincidence, me too.
