The Idea Bank (INTP)
Quiet and reserved, INTPs are adept at resolving problems using logic and critical thinking. They have significant intellectual curiosity and can delve deep into subjects that interest them, while often remaining silent about others. Their intuition is impressive, as is their comprehensive understanding of complex topics. They usually show less interest in personal relationships, social events, and casual conversation, preferring analytical thinking, logic, and objective criticism instead. They flourish in fields such as economics, philosophy, psychology, pure sciences, research, mathematics, and engineering, where they can explore abstract concepts. However, they may sometimes appear overly abstract, detached from reality, and lacking in social skills. Their intellectual abilities can occasionally give off an aura of arrogance.
