Sponsor |  poetofcode | Jun 13, 2007 7:09am | ...have you started to see the world with increased clarity?
I'd certainly say so for myself. For as long as I can remember I've always wanted an Answer - for many years I've been trundling down this path of thinking that one day I will just flip and go mad, but knowing that what I am is just a (moderately superior ;) type of personality, and after having read the INTP profile at intp.org, I now have a sort-of explanation for what's been troubling me since I started to reach mental maturity (I'm 21 at the moment - by maturity I mean, y'know - adulthoodness, to invent a word).
Hopefully I won't be too content with this explanation because by my own admission as an INTP, I will give up on life itself, having found The Answer.
I apologise if you now have a headache - but of course as a true INTP you will be thriving on this wad of thinking material I've just put out in the open. Consider it a gift from me. :-) |

|  grandPAW | Oct 11, 2007 4:11am | | I gave up on "the answer" a long time ago when I realized that a finite number of brain cells cannot possibly comprehend the infinite. Chill out and enjoy your new found hell in a delightfully depressing way. Suck it up and take it like an INTP. B-) |

|  mgteixeira | Nov 29, 2007 2:23pm | | I have a small secret I would like to share with you. There is no answer, because you cannot formulate the question. If you are able to know what it is so well that you can express it, then you have found your answer. It might seem confusing, but meanwhile you are living within the shadow of the doubt and that, strange as it might seem, is very comfortable. You can always blame it on the shadow. And thus you keep not solving it. |

| | Manetho | Dec 10, 2007 4:08pm | | Before discovering I was an INTP,I thought I was just a weirdo. I didn't understand why my way of thinking was so different from other people's. To me, it was a relief to find out that there were other, very intelligent people thinking in a similar way. I wouldn't say I see the world more clearly, only that I feel more confident of my worldview. |

|  ms99sb | Mar 4, 6:08pm | I found 'out' I was an INTP at a managment traiing program. I always felt uncomfortable with the the whole idea of process's and doing things by the book. Since reading more about this type it sums me up so well, the great thing is knowing your not this crazy person who overthinks the simplest thing. Was a great weight off my mind (grin and take it works for so long). I am now happy knowing that I have some areas I am weak in and now I try and force myself to confront them and improve.
Does anyone else do this? |

| | tuffgrlsara | Mar 8, 6:30am | | OMG.. We took oneof those personality tests at work.. just kidding around. INTP.. well.. it's me! I swear.. reading about it.. it sums my world and me! I need to do more research.. but.. wow.. Eye opener |

| | Shokushu | Jul 21, 6:19pm | I became comfortable with who I was and had been piecing together my worldview for awhile before I found out.
Having found out has helped me to fill in a few more blanks, mainly involving my own tendencies but it wasn't as if a great weight had been lifted as I've already pretty much gone through my crisis of purpose.
I never got an answer that I can just sum up in a sentence or two but I've got an answer nonetheless. The reason this is useful information to you is that this answer is a work in progress. I've just set down the framework but there's still a lot left to work out. |
