6 Clear Signs You're a True INTP (Most Intelligent Personality Type)

INTPs are known as the most intelligent personality of the Myers-Briggs types. And making up only 3% of the population, they are also one of the rarest. INTPs are often thought of as innovators, and that’s not surprising when you consider famous INTPs like Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Socrates.

What makes INTPs so unique is their combination of four dimensions.

One: Introversion (I). This means that INTPs prefer time alone to time with others.
Two: Intuitive (N). This indicates that INTPs gravitate towards ideas instead of facts.
Three: Thinking (T). This refers to how INTPs make decisions. This type comes to a conclusion based on logic, not feeling.
Four: Perceiving (P). While some personality types are organized and rigid, this type is spontaneous and flexible.

Now that we know a little bit about INTPs, we’re going to look at the 6 Clear Signs that You’re a True INTP.

Now that is absolutely true about the fact that us INTP’s don’t share information, or open up about personal information for the reason that we are so reserved (like the INTJ’s), ie afraid of being judged. I hardly ever open up to people I know it’s a waste of time and that people just will not get me. Also, I do know that if I do choose to open open, people will be intimidated by my level of intensity.

INTP here. I have no problem creating a process or routine, in fact I enjoy it... just as long as I dont have to follow it. Essentially, I'll create it for everyone else. If I have to follow it then I'll refine it until its as efficient and repeatable as possible, then automate it because its hard for me to do the same thing twice.

You forgot one thing
We are lazy but smart-INTP

[joshstewart]

Spot on. Cyber security engineer here. Just had a conversation with the wife tonight how I need to share my thoughts and feelings more. I feel them I just dont express them. One thing I will say as an INTP is that I don’t feel or consider myself that smart. In fact the more I learn the dumber I feel because I realize how much I don’t know.

[aguy]

I wouldn’t say that INTPs like ideas, not facts. It is facts that they use to evaluate ideas.

There is no trade off.

"Don't be fooled, though, by the sense of closeness you may feel. It's likely the INTP doesn't feel that same closeness. To the INTP, you have been an interesting diversion."

I've never related so much to a point he mentioned about how INTPs don't care about titles. We can be who we are at the bottom of the totem pole as well as the top. That's awfully true.

[stormyjensen]

We love deeply as well. 😢 just like any human. ... but we are less likely to stick around for games and time wasters. We are logical. Head over heart. But we still love. But we prefer someone who understands logic and has common sense as well.

[ashleighAshlee]

In all situations I always want to know the truth, and always ask WHY.
People around me always tell me to just accept the way things are and stop questioning.
It's annoying and it's sad

Baristas do indeed benefit the world more than most business managers.

Sometimes i feel like im not actual an INTP. But then i remember that both times ive taken the test(once last year and once again this year) I've gotten INTP with pretty much the same results. The main reason I ten to think I'm not into is because of the feeling part. I am actually very good at reading people I'm close with emotions, I am sensitive but to stubborn to act upon my feelings. So I tend to go for my logic even though I am feeling a certain way. I DO open up, it's just that I only do it with my closest friends since it feels weird and uncomfy to do it with anyone else. I think emotions are healthy, but do think that people need to stop relying on it too much. And I'm not the perfect lie detector. Yet I keep getting INTP. So I guess I am one. And I am proud to be one, I just dont felly conform with the whole emotionless robots part.

[mavfin]

Dammit, get out of my head! Yes, I'm an INTP, and you pretty much hit things right on this. I'm 53 years old, and I make my living solving problems and seeing patterns that others do not see or don't understand. My wife is also an NTP, but she's closer to X (between E and I) than I, so she can cover some of my 'missing' things. I love that we both understand the need for alone time.

[nuggetsandramen]

As an intp, I like breaking theories apart, and pencils. Idk, the snap is just satisfying

[deussalt]

One of the things they missed around the 6:00 mark and it's not often mentioned by us is the 3 reason. We're often exceptionally good liars ourselves. We know most of the INs and Outs of lying and emotional manipulation. Because we don't relate to those same emotions as much as others. Lying often comes as easily as telling the truth. Though personally I find the most difficult part of being an INTP-A is being aware of exactly how unfeeling I really am yet feeling it all at once he same time. It's a weird parallel where while I know I should feel bad that you dog got ran over and I think puppies are amazingly adorable I also don't give a fly fuck because it's not MY dog. I don't hate your dog and I would do anything I can do protect anything living that's innocent. But I don't FEEL IT. being INTP-A is really weird.

[swedish_sadhguru]

This video is spot on. In my case though, as an INTP, I was never really good at math and science. I was more adept at languages, I am fluent in Swedish, English and Mandarin. I have also noticed us INTP have different music tastes depending on the individual, in my case I like EDM more than other genres.

[belle]

I feel that if I actually be myself/open up, most people can't follow me. Unless they are INTP.

[trekicb]

I feel a so deep respect to my INTJ boss, because he never have lost the trust in me.

[Tom-cezf]

I’ve taken the test twice and I’ve scored the same given some time apart. I wish that people were more aware of their personality types and that of others.

[aimeebella]

Definitely true about needing to mix things up and not liking routine.

[meekandhumble]

I don't dislike authority. I just want answers.
