The Architect
Introverted, iNtuiting, Thinking, Perceiving
INTPs are creative, independent, open-minded and inventive. They absorb any and all information available to them in their pursuit of understanding and are constantly thinking. They use their intellect in an attempt to understand and explain the world around them through theories and concepts.
INTPs are abstract thinkers, piecing concepts together through seemingly unrelated observations and information. They will often use discussion to validate or refine their ideas, not to get a second opinion.
INTPs come to their conclusions and decisions objectively, relying on fact and information. They are straightforward and honest, and are open to the philosophies, beliefs and ideas of others. While INTPs are rational in their decision making process, they value freedom, flexibility and spontaneity.
The INTP often has difficulty articulating their thought process, ideas and concepts to others. Their abstract approach is often disjointed, multifaceted and not easily organized so they can become frustrated as they are unable to convey their ideas to others.
Because INTPs spend much of their time captured in thought, they can be forgetful or even oblivious to the world that surrounds them and have little interest in practical details. They can also have difficulty finishing a line of thought as they are always looking for new inputs that they can use to revise or enhance their ideas.
Although INTPs are open-minded, their preference for logical decision making can make them insensitive to emotions and to personal considerations. They tend to be private and reserved which can make it difficult for them to feel comfortable in social settings where conversation rather than thought is required unless the conversation revolves around an interest of theirs.
