INTP personality type

INTP: Introvert-iNtuitive-Thinker-Perceiver

  • Los introvertidos tienden a ser reflexivos, reservados y privados. Un concepto erróneo popular es que los introvertidos son tímidos; esto no es necesariamente así. Extraen su energía de sus propios pensamientos y del tiempo que pasan solos. Los introvertidos no necesitan personas a su alrededor todo el tiempo.
  • Los intuitivos prestan más atención a la información que es imaginativa y original. Los intuitivos se centran en el futuro.
  • Los pensadores toman decisiones utilizando la lógica y el análisis impersonal. Piensan con la cabeza y no con el corazón.
  • Los perceptores prefieren un estilo de vida espontáneo, flexible y adaptable. Les gusta un entorno no estructurado y les gusta mantener abiertas sus opciones.

An INTP at a glance

INTPs are perhaps the most intellectually thoughtful of all the personality types. People who know INTPs well describe them as innovative and ingenious. They live in a rich internal world in their mind, which is full of imagination and excitement. As a consequence, they may sometimes find the external world less interesting. This may lead some people to see them as being rather understated and reserved.

An INTPs distinguishing characteristics are imagination, originality, perceptiveness, creativity and a delight in tackling the complex. They are interested in theorizing, analyzing and learning. They thrive on exploring, understanding and explaining how the world works.

An INTPs logical, rational mind means that they are frequently one step ahead of others and are usually considered to be intellectually superior. INTPs are strongly motivated to challenge themselves to pursue and acquire excellence. They tend to be somewhat skeptical and are orientated towards the future rather than the past.
