Since our Myers-Briggs personality types describe the way our minds work it makes sense that people
with the same type might have similar interests. We’re each unique individuals and how we like to
spend our down-time varies, but you’ll often notice that people with the same personality type enjoy
similar hobbies.if this your first time on the channel , kindly consider subscribing to

that INTPs love. 1. Browsing the Internet.
INTPs tend to be curious people, and browsing the internet is one way to engage that curiosity.
It’s fun to follow rabbit trails across different websites while learning new information and
observing the strangeness of life. 2. Crafting.
Many INTPs enjoy hobbies that produce something creative. Woodworking, leather crafts, sewing,
glass blowing, crochet, and metal-working are just a few of the creative hobbies that INTPs enjoy.
3. Computer Hobbies. Quite a few INTPs talk
about enjoying computer-related activities, especially those that are creative in some way.
These include things like programming, 3-D rendering, and data analytics. Some also enjoy
building and repairing computers. 4. Design.
One nickname for INTPs is “The Architect,� and many enjoy design-related hobbies.
Depending on the INTP, they might gravitate toward on-paper projects, building physical models,
computer-assisted design, and/or 3-D printing. 5. Doing Nothing
Many INTPs enjoy using part of their free time to do absolutely nothing.
Modern society is so fast-paced that it doesn’t always leave time for introverts to just stop,
recharge, and think without outside pressure. This hobby makes room for
doing that without expectations of accomplishing anything tangible.
6. Exercise. INTPs are often stereotyped as lazy,
but that doesn’t stop many INTPs from enjoying very active hobbies. Hiking, running, kayaking,
bicycling, rock climbing, and weightlifting are just a few examples of active hobbies
that INTPs may enjoy. 7. Exploring.
INTPs often jump from one hobby, thought, or activity to another fairly rapidly.
Many have a wide range of interests and hate being bored. Rather than sticking with just
a few specific hobbies, INTPs might explore a wide variety of activities and interests.
8. Languages. INTPs often enjoy learning new
languages. It’s a challenging hobby, but one that many enjoy and are very good at. I know one INTP
who studies several languages at once, and I’ve seen others who’ve worked their way one at a time
through learning multiple languages. 9. Learning and Research
I touch on this hobby in other points on this list, but “Browsing the Internet” isn’t the only way
INTPs learn and “Science” isn’t their only area of interest. INTPs often enjoy reading non-fiction,
talking with interesting and knowledgeable people, and taking classes related to a wide
variety of interests. Some also enjoy hands-on research and experimentation,
even if it’s just saying something off-the-wall to observe how other people respond.
10. Meditation. INTPs often have very active minds.
Meditation is a way for them to slow down, observe their thoughts, and find focus. Many also enjoy
yoga as a hobby that’s related to this. 11. Music.
Making and/or listening to music is one of the hobbies INTPs talk about fairly consistently.
Subcategories of this hobby can include attending concerts, listening to music,
playing the piano or other instruments, writing music, remixing songs, and producing music.
12. Photography. INTPs often enjoy photography as a hobby.
It’s one of the artistic pursuits that come up the most frequently when INTPs on the internet start
talking about which hobbies they enjoy best. 13. Reading.
Many INTPs enjoy reading, and not just related to their interest in research. They also love reading
fiction. It’s a great way to escape from the world and engage their creative, imaginative side.
14. Science. INTPs often enjoy science-related hobbies and
may go into scientific careers. There’s a reason “mad scientist” has become an INTP stereotype.
From astronomy to biochemistry to physics, INTPs can be found studying a variety of
science-related topics for fun. 15. Spending Time in Nature.
Getting out in nature is a favorite hobby of all the introverted, intuitive types. It’s a great
way of engaging with and appreciating the physical world. Fishing, hiking, or sitting on a park bench
are just a few examples of this INTP hobby. 16. Strategy Games.
Chess is one of the most talked-about INTPs hobbies.
Many also enjoy other games that require strategic and analytical thinking, such as Stratego.
17. Thinking. INTPs enjoy being lost in thought,
and many carve out time for thinking the same way other people carve-out time for hobbies like team
sports or book clubs. 18. Travel.
A little bit of wanderlust never hurt anyone, and many INTPs enjoy traveling.
Some set themselves travel goals each year, others travel more sporadically.
19. Video Games. INTPs often find that they enjoy
playing video games. I’ve seen several specifically mention that they enjoy games they can play solo
and where they’re in complete control. 20. Watching Movies and TV.
Watching films and TV is a good way for INTPs to relax and chill. It’s one of the
hobbies that provides a good distraction from everything that’s going on inside their minds.
21. Writing. Writing is another
creative hobby that INTPs often enjoy. Many enjoy writing poetry, fiction, or non-fiction.
Some also enjoy creating worlds and stories in their heads that never fully make it onto the
page, but are still entertaining for the INTP. If you’re an INTP, did your favorite hobbies make
the list? Are there any other hobbies you would have added?
