The ingenious traits of the INTP personality

type allow them to perceive the world in a

in reality this perceiving type just chooses to

not share their deep thoughts to the world. So..

we’re here to share a few of them instead!

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

INTPs don’t necessarily care about what others

think of them in the grand scheme of things..

But if they’re caught seeming less educated

than they are, they may take measures to prove

their level of intellect. Known to be a walking

encyclopedia, the INTP prides themselves on their

intellectual abilities, and rightfully so. They

work hard to keep their endless accumulation of

inner-information up-to-date and accurate. And

so, naturally they want to be recognized for

their efforts. Call the INTP any name in the

book and they won’t get offended, but comment

on their intellect in a negative light and you

can be sure they’ll try to change your mind.

Number 2: Nothing is ever black and white

Speaking of their intellectual abilities, there’s

never a moment when the INTP isn’t sorting data

into the most precise categories within their

inner filing system. This curious type analyzes

every piece of information thrown at them, first

deciphering if the information is true or not

according to their existing knowledge. Accuracy

and truth are the most crucial components to a

piece of information in the eyes of an INTP, with

the simplest of details making all the difference.

To this type, to say you drive a sports car

doesn’t cut it. They want to know the make,

the model and the color in order to really grasp

it in their minds.. Even if they’re the least bit

interested in cars themselves. Context is also

important, as INTPs need to see things from all

Number 3: They can’t stop connecting ideas

information? Well.. that might be the biggest

INTP mystery of them all. To truly understand the

inner workings of this complex type’s inner mind

takes some serious research. But to put it simply

for the sake of this third INTP secret, they are

constantly connecting the data they’re sorting.

In fact, if you ever witness an INTP drifting

off into thought, with their head in the clouds,

they’re probably in the process of connecting

ideas or analyzing new information to connect.

They may even disconnect mid conversation

that solves one of their many inner puzzles.

Neuroscientist expert Dario Nardi explains

that this INTP process is actually referred to

as trans-contextual thinking. This is the ability

that all extroverted intuitives share that allows

them to create connections in the mind between

things or ideas that aren't typically associated

There’s no arguing the fact that INTPs are often

underestimated for their intellectual abilities,

as we discussed briefly in the first shared

rarely given the credit they’re due? Well, due

to their extraverted thinking function, most of

their analysis is done privately. While they may

come off as spacey and even detached at times,

inside the INTP mind is filled with ingenious

solutions and ideas that would baffle others.

In fact, even when this analystial type decides

to share their inner thoughts, they are usually

too complex for others to follow. Even though they

want to seem as intelligent as they are, they also

understand that their thoughts are unique, and not

always interesting to the average person.. Which

ultimately encourages them to keep most of

their discoveries to themselves. Little does

everyone know that the INTP actually holds the

second-highest IQ scores of all types on average.

Any conclusion based on the idea of things “just

being the way they are because that’s the way they

are” is never good enough for the INTP personality

type. They don’t settle for mediocre explanations

to even the simplest of concepts, but that’s not

exactly a secret about this information-hungry

type. What does come as a surprise to most

people, however, is that INFPs are a naturally

adventurous type, just not necessarily in the

traditional sense. Instead of feeling compelled

to explore the world around them, they use their

stubborn curiosity to investigate theories and

ideas on a deeper level. They use their vast

imaginations to influence the direction of their

observations in order to absorb the necessary

details needed to solve their curiosities. Sounds

complex.. But to the INTP, it’s second nature.

Number 6: They give some of the best advice

While INTPs aren’t exactly the overly empathetic

type you’d want to run to when times get tough,

they’re actually the ones you should go to..

This is because while care and nurturing care

go a long way, the INTP is the friend that will

tell you how it is. They can easily point out

logical errors and discrepancies within an issue -

broadening other people’s view of the situation in

order to find a reasonable solution. In fact, it’s

not always for the benefit of the other person

as it is for their sheer drive to get to the

bottom of something. This is why when it comes

to problem solving in particular, INTPs will

put all of their current affairs on hold to

give you their undivided attention and analysis.

Overtime, an INTP will eventually come to a deeper

understanding of people’s personalities allowing

them to provide deeper insights and solutions.

Number 7: They’re almost never satisfied in life

Considered the idealistic logician, people with

the INTP personality type are rarely satisfied

with where they are in life. With such a deep

understanding of the world and a drive to use

their knowledge to their advantage, the INTP can’t

help but to imagine how things could be better

than they are. They feel a need to constantly

try to improve things, solve problems and find

new topics to learn about rather than addressing

the needs and responsibilities they already have

in life. They think that attempting to reinvent

the wheel in life will at some point get them to

accomplishing their forever recycled interests.

INTPs aren’t interested in competing for the

same reasons other people may be. Unlike many

other personality types, logicians aren’t driven

by thing like the need to impress their boss,

As a matter of fact, the INTP is usually a

little turned off by the entire concept of

motivational measures such as check-in meetings,

team-building exercises and watercooler chitter

chatter.. And there’s more to it than just being

an introverted type. INTP are only motivated by

their own curiosities and the high standards

they set for themselves. This doesn’t mean

they’re hard working just for the sake of it,

but they do take their standards very seriously.

personality type usually come as a pleasant

surprise to their romantic partners, but that

doesn’t mean it’s easy for this introverted type

to find someone. Due to their need for significant

alone time and shared intelligence, the INTP not

only has high standards for themselves, but also

for the people they let into their lives. This

alone makes it significantly more difficult for

INTPs to date which is why they’re not exactly

keen on the whole idea of having to go out and

meet someone. Sure, they’ve analyzed relationships

and the concept of romantic connection, but

logicians may drag their feet when it comes to

actually putting their knowledge into action.

And so, although they may act as if they’re not

doesn’t come easy. In fact, INTPs normally

require a little more time weighing out the

a great deal of stress. Especially in terms of

long term decisions or impactful life choices,

the INTP requires hours, sometimes even days or

weeks to properly conclude. It may seem like a

form of procrastination or avoidance at times,

but the wait is almost always worth the outcome.
