Outside the box, jump out of the box to see the world
Today, let ’s talk about the INTP type in the MBTI 16 personality
If you are INTP, then your energy comes from being alone and introspective
Your impression of the world is conceptual and abstract
Pay attention to the inner connection and corresponding possibility of things (N)
This is also the basis of your decision
Your decision is objective, not emotional (T)
You are both flexible and casual
Adaptable lifestyle (P)
You are alone thinking about the nature of things
Calmly analyze every possibility
But at the same time forget the person whose bread he has baked is already mushy
The four words I, N, T, P all have a tendency to be born
I may mean being away from the crowd and enjoying loneliness
N may mean abstraction, away from the sense world
T means that it is not right to the person, it is easy to cause a sense of distance
The last is P, which may mean an attitude of being at ease and not forcing
When these four letters are combined together
INTP will show a transcendent image
A feeling of seeing through the red dust
To understand INTP, we must understand the desire of INTP to explain the world with theory
Strict logic and consistency is the art respected by INTP
A consistent theory that can explain thousands of worlds can make INTP fascinated
Great theories from time to time
Whether it is philosophy, history, sociology
Even including various rules and regulations
Attractive to INTP
Even if your ideas are not practical
Even wrong
But if you use good logical thinking in the process
If you can justify yourself, INTP will find it worth listening to
At this stage about 20-30 years old
INTP will often open a crazy knowledge-seeking mode
And try to understand the "big picture"
Pursue the absolute truth in your heart
By further developing their intuition N
INTP can introduce a lot of open information for their leading function T before judging
But also because the intuitive function is extremely open and possible
This requires INTP to explore a whole host of novel ideas before drawing strong opinions
INTPs at this stage may become too dare to believe anything
Some people may even fall into epistemological nihilism
Would doubt that they might not find the absolute truth of the world for the rest of their lives
This process may take years or even decades
INTP constantly goes to understand themselves
Understand their world
And their position in this world
Some jokes that INTP is the brain in a wheelchair
As long as INTP can get up from the bed
They can do anything
Unlike INTJ who will practice his own ideas, INTP is slightly slow in action
But do n’t mistake them for doing nothing
The synapses of their brains are running fast
INTJ is often troubled by the short life
Can't practice all of your ideas
For INTP, practice is not a problem at all
Once I figured it out, I ’ve done it
For INTP, completing tasks is only secondary
What matters is the process of exploration
There is an exaggeration
If INTJ is a genius, INTP is a god
Although the expression is exaggerated
But the bright light of INTP in the long river of human civilization is really difficult to hide
INTP is a highly productive group of thought giants
Thought experiments conducted by typical INTP Einstein
Subvert the way humans perceive the world in an incredible way
Descartes laid the foundation for modern Western philosophy with his own strength
Neo, the actor of the Matrix, is also a typical INTP
When all human civilizations are treated as biological batteries in the virtual world
Only ITP who doubts that everything is always in pursuit of the ultimate truth can awaken from it
Successful INTP's life has experienced the process of lonely thinking, breaking cocoons into butterflies
Their penetrating wisdom has an amazing time and space penetration
INTP is the most in need of being alone
Just like E-type personality needs friends
Getting nutrients and satisfaction from thinking is the lifestyle of INTP
INTP's introverted thinking makes them dislike social
The simple and effective way to drive crazy INTP is
Exposed them to a place with high self-space for three consecutive days
Let their every move be under the watch of others
Same as other NT rationals
INTP also prefers complex systems
Such as mathematics, language, computer are all INTP people like and are willing to try hard
Understanding, exploring, mastering and manipulating the system is often an unconscious behavior of INTP
They enjoy the process
Their P-type preferences also allow INTP to continuously explore across disciplines and systems
This often makes the ideas of INTP groundbreaking and revolutionary
Like INFP, INTP also needs to slowly present his inner world
But in contrast, INTP is good at hiding part of his personality
This is especially special
Specifically, they are extremely rational and sober
Only very few people can fully enter the world of INTP
And most other people may only be able to get in touch with the works of INTP
To have a brief encounter with their inner world
Many INTPs are interested in writing
Because it provides a good way for them to express themselves more fully and accurately
Unlike INTJ, INTPs are mostly easy-going
It ’s also easier to accept each other ’s opinions
And use it as a ruler to reflect on all aspects of yourself
INTP will look higher than INTJ
But it just looks like
In the thinking of INTP
People around them, things around them are no different
But INTP is good at disguising, especially respecting others
For the sake of affinity, I often wear a mask
INTP can give a new acquaintance a warmth worthy of deep friendship
However, in most cases
They do n’t think it ’s worth seeing each other for the second time
They love humans, but not any of them
Speaking of the shortcomings of INTP
INTP's detached attitude leads them to often live a life of isolation
Because it is too detached
INTP is often considered to be disconnected from reality and society
INTP likes to try a lot
But what is most interesting is definitely not mainstream
These topics of promotion and salary increase seem to be insulated from INTP
Things that INTP may be thinking about include
How to understand the temperament
Principle of color
The relationship between machinery and philosophy
Kant's theory
The legitimacy of the ruling party, etc.
This means that they can't talk to most people
INTPs who are not involved in the world will assume that the people around them do the same amount of thinking as themselves
After the exchange, I found that other people did not cause disappointment.
miracly
INTP also clearly knows which topics to chat with others can talk to others High
Can naturally show the most relaxed personality in front of different people with different personalities
But this kind of topic and personality switch that does not interest INTP will eventually make INTP exhausted.
Because INTP is difficult to express himself frankly
Instead, they tend to make sudden decisions without any prior communication
Others will feel incredible
Why INTP never talked about these decisions at all
INTP is very uncomfortable expressing himself nakedly
Under pressure they will show some negative aggression
Like deliberately working overtime to avoid family pressure
The expressive power of INTP may be much lower than their own strength
INTP's way of thinking is to pursue unity and consistency
Word-by-word expression always fails to touch the core of wisdom
Always add premises
This way of expression not only confuses the listener
Also makes INTP quite tired
INTP often doubts the power of language
Because they found that they could n’t explain their profound and complicated thinking
For example, Chen Jingrun, sitting on the crown of human wisdom
The class was a mess
INTP's interest in subject knowledge is often much greater than that of its students
This makes them rarely willing to cater to students' understanding by sacrificing the accuracy of the theory
The result is a lot of complex and abstract problems, although they seem so obvious
But the students always do n’t understand
INTP will also encounter some problems in the workplace
Their easy-going and changeable personality may conflict with TJ managers in most companies
INTP is often reminded to be down-to-earth
"Don't daydream, go back to work quickly"
Or "hope you can follow the rules"
INTP is easy-going, but it is conceited
Most people will expect criticism when they make mistakes
And for INTP, shake their criticism of reason, logic and truth cognition
Will make INTP unacceptable
This leads to INTP's habit of holding back
Always get things done before seeking feedback
Instead of continuously optimizing in feedback
This limits the potential of INTP in lean operations
INTP likes to jump directly into deep water to learn
Because they think that learning in difficult mode can grasp the essence of things more deeply
After finishing the big move, INTP will switch the target impatiently
Explore the next cognitive peak
Therefore, people often find that the INTPs have a taste
However, these shortcomings are secular definitions
