ok here is my personality type lol
Your Personality Type:
INTP
You generally take an Introverted approach to life.
Your preferred mode of perception is Intuition .
You make judgments primarily through Thinking .
You typically show your Perceiving side to the world.
Key INTP Characteristics:
Fiercely independent
Theoretical / philosophical
Open-minded, yet critical, thinkers
Non-conforming (especially inwardly)
Explorative and experimental
Creative and innovative; masters of makeshift solutions
Relish autonomy in their work and methods
Restless; crave novel ideas, possibilities and challenges
Doubting; can be prone to nihilism
Autodidacts / self-starters
here is an excerpt from the INTP profile.. I would say that I may be a milder version of this.
the INTP seeks more abstract sorts of novelty (Ne). Hence, INTPs look for partners who are intelligent, creative, and interested in personal growth. INTPs may struggle to maintain interest in those lacking sufficient intelligence, open-mindedness, or interests in intellectual or psychospiritual explorations. INTPs are especially drawn to those who have knowledge or interests in their own specialty area, making way for a sort of co-exploration of truth. INTPs enjoy discussing their interest areas and seek a partner who can stay apace with them in theoretical conversations. For these reasons, INTPs are typically better matched with another Intuitive type.
intp relationships
Since INTPs tend to view themselves as highly autonomous and self-sufficient, they usually look for similar traits in their partners. INTPs crave a lot of unfettered alone time and are rarely happy with partners who seem overly needy, demanding, or controlling. INTPs instinctively rebel in relationships where they feel smothered, stifled, or restrained. At the same time, less developed INTPs may find themselves drawn to individuals who are wounded or needy. This represents a projection of INTPs’ inferior function’s desire to be valued and needed, and typically results in a poor outcome.
WOW...sounds like an astrology reading. You were pretty close to me in a lot of those points but toward the bottom you moved away. NOT a bad personality for the most part though.
"theoretical/philosophical"?
hahah it covers a lot eh?
I tuned into the ""masters of makeshift solutions """ lol that does describe me well..
@AmmaRE007 I was wondering about the connection or lack thereof. For me philosophy is always theoretical. I failed in a few employment interviews when asked about hypothetical situations. My answer was invariably: Practical questions require practical solutions. A nicely crafted theory cannot alleviate a toothache.
@AmmaRE007 I like that … I remember fixing my car with the spring extracted from an alarm clock. I had theoreticized and then proceeded to implement the solution. It worked … for about 2 minutes. It was a minor triumph. But then I was stuck with a car that wouldn't work and the wreckage of an alarm clock that would probably still work.
@PontifexMarximus I always hate those employment questions they ask.. they are too non-specific.. and I have to make up too much detail to answer them in any intelligent way
I am amazed at the studies of how language and thought developed. It's quite amazing how language has developed in humans into such complex yet shared communications.
