Hello everyone

Hi there!
My name is Aleksandra, but most of my friends call me Ola. I was searching informations about INTP type and I found this place. I want to know more about my MBTI type, because is so frustraiting when I do something, but I dont know why people think that this is strange. Difficulties in making decision is also very hard for me. I hope I will find there how people live being INTP and that will help me.
Sorry for me English, but its my second language and I do mistakes ( which also frustrate me so much, because I love to be perfect, when I do something).

Welcome. Recently the place has seen low activity, and ironically it may be due to the pandemic. But feel free to check in whenever you want, usually low pressure and steaks here.

People (out of laziness in my opinion,) will label anything they don't understand as strange. Supposedly 3/100 are INTP, so we are not uncommon, but we do stick out. the P in INTP implies that we are not so fixated on finalizing our thoughts one something. replace perceiving with pondering and it's basically the same thing. Contrast this with J, which means judging and implies that one does settle their thoughts on something. In this day and age where we are drowning in information, it's no surprise that you would face analysis paralysis, but there is no such thing as certainty and we all have to accept that and commit to actions and evaluations.

Personally I don't take MBTI too seriously, it gives perspective and does work well to categorize likeminded people together, but I think if you're trying to get to the root of your problems you should do big 5 personality test. It measures five googlable terms (like neuroticism) that I'm sure you can find plenty of resources to get desirable results.
