Welcome to Psychology Refresh!
Today, we're going to go over the 7 Signs That You're An INTP Personality Type.
Make sure to watch each one of them so you know if every one
of them applies to your personality type! INTP which stands for introverted, intuitive,
thinking and prospecting is one of the 16 personality types identified
by a personality assessment called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The INTP can be thought of as "the logician," or as "an analyst," because he or she makes
decisions based on logic, reason and critical thinking. INTPs present a cool exterior but
are privately passionate about reason, analysis, and innovation. By enforcing certain fundamental
principles in their surroundings, they hope to create comprehensive systems of understanding.
If you are an INTP, you are probably a loner or you have only few, but really close friends. INTPs
make about 3 percent of the population. If you think you are an INTP person, dive deeper into
this special personality, learn what are your traits and how to use them to increase your soft
skills and achieve personal growth. Here are 7 Signs That You're An INTP Personality Type.
Number 1 - You are always analyzing INTPs have a quiet demeanor,
but their intellectual abilities are beneficial to any work environment.
They can analyze fine details and small pieces of information and explain challenging concepts with
logical reasoning that is fast and precise. INTPs see the world, with its many parts,
as an elaborate machine that needs to be studied, understood, and connected. Logicians analyze
everything they encounter, from research data to the human behavior around them. Because of this,
they are more able to spot unexpected patterns and connections that other personality types
might overlook. They hold themselves to high standards in order to make sure that their ideas
and opinions have logical weight. They apply this same rigorous analysis to the outside world.
Logicians need to make sure they are not swayed by emotions or popular opinion
before they subscribe to anything. People with INTP personality type have to break down ideas
into small pieces and look at all the components to see if they really stand up to scrutiny.
Number 2 - You are difficult to know The mind of a Logician sometimes wanders,
even when conversing with others. When these personalities finally do return
to the conversation, they may discover that the conversation has moved on without them.
They can feel disconnected with others because of this, especially while in social gatherings.
Due to their internal focus, their thinking side often goes unnoticed or is never appreciated
for its full potential. Logicians see the connections between the ideas and often they
can argue a point from any angle. However, their laser-sharp logic is often hidden in the shadows
and only shared with people that they trust completely. Because their judgments are more
internalized than outwardly expressed, people can find INTPs mysterious and hard to pin down.
Number 3 - You are creative Due to their unrelenting imagination, Logicians
sometimes think of creative and counterintuitive ideas that would not occur to most people.
The ideas on this list aren't all feasible, of course, but their willingness to continue
thinking outside of the box has led to remarkable developments. Based on a sense of creative genius,
they thrive in fields like math, science, philosophy, and art where they can advance
new ideas. They enjoy coming up with accurate, cohesive, and precise ideas about life and the
universe and refining them to get to the truth about them. Logicians don't like doing things
by the book unless they've tested that it is truly the best single way to do something.
INTPs crave a career and life that allows them to explore the possibilities of experimentation,
innovation, and change things. They are tired of the routine and following pre-ordained rules.

Number 4 - You are often dissatisfied Logicians cannot help but wish things were
better than they are. A personality like this is constantly looking for a new problem to solve,
a new topic to learn, and an entirely new way to go about something.
If taken too far, this mindset can lead to overly creative thinking, with Logicians constantly
trying to come up with new ways to deal with problems that are increasingly complex. Their
analytical powers allow them to identify the flaws in anything they encounter. INTPs often re-design
and compare the ideal version in our heads with the flawed version that exists in reality.
This comparison often gives them dissatisfaction, whether in the form of anxiety,
frustration, depression, etc. Logicians are often less happy than other personality types
because their minds are wandering constantly searching for better solutions to the world.
Number 5 - You look for genuine connections From the start, Logicians take their relationships
seriously. This type of personality knows better than to take a love attachment for
granted when they finally find someone, they feel comfortable with. From the very beginning,
Logicians are unusually straightforward and honest. They don't see the point of playing games,
and misleading others. INTPs rarely filter their opinions, and they encourage their partners to
be frank with them as well. A Logician doesn't consider being up-front rudeness or bad manners;
instead, it's a point of pride, not to mention a good way to avoid misunderstandings.
The Logicians will use their creativity to make their partners feel special and can come up with
clever, unexpected ways to spice things up. Ideal romantic partners for this type of personality
aren't just someone to pass time with, but someone who can challenge their views.
An INTP's life purpose is to pursue learning and growth. They want the person they care
about to not only support them with their mission, but also actively encourage it.
Number 6 - You are very selective with your friends
INTPs look to their friends for companionship and support. They prize an intellectual depth
in others. When someone meets the criteria for Logicians to be a potential friend,
he or she can feel a connection immediately.
Logicians do not arrange their lives to be surrounded by others just for the sake of doing
so. As a result, these personalities can be hard to become close with. But when INTPs do open up,
they can be lively, unique friends who always have something interesting or unexpected to say.
It is not uncommon for Logicians to have close friends who share their fascination for thinking
in this way. Although people with this personality type need some support, they don't always want to
associate with others who completely agree with everything they say. INTPs don't mind being
challenged by thinking outside the box - they actually approve of others who challenge their
assumptions and make them rethink their ways. Number 7 - You are often misunderstood
INTPs look for honesty in all of their interactions with people.
Not being straightforward or walking on eggshells to make someone feel comfortable is not their
style. When Logicians are children, they often feel like no matter how hard they try, they are
always on the wrong side of the conversation. This can be damaging to their self-esteem especially if
they feel like, despite their best efforts, they are continually misunderstood or reprimanded.
Despite the fact that INTPs are generally introverted, they still enjoy defying theories,
exploring possibilities, and validating arguments by debate. Many people, on the other hand,
prefer small talk rather than discussing these things and Logicians do not necessarily like it.
INTPs often feel different and coerced into "fitting in" with the majority. Unfortunately,
when this occurs, Logicians may become cynical, negative, sarcastic,
and critical. They often engage in arguments fully knowing that they won't win any friendships by
doing so. Armed with a powerful intellect and vivid imagination, Logicians can overcome or
outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. On a personal level, the INTP who finds
honest and sincere friends ready for insightful discussions has everything in his or her power
to lead a rich and rewarding life. Now, we have a question for you.
