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.
