The Analyst
INTP
You are gripped by understanding how something works rather than by making it run. Your scepticism is healthy, and an answer does not convince you merely because an authority gave it.
Where you are strong
- Sharp analytical mind
- Inventive on hard problems
- Intellectually honest
- Comfortable with complexity
Worth watching
- Struggles to turn ideas into action
- Puts off the dull part
- Forgets your own practical needs
- Argues when it is not necessary
With other people
You need someone who does not require constant demonstration of feeling. In return, remember they need to hear the things you consider obvious.
At work
Research, programming, mathematics, philosophy, systems analysis, technical writing.
Where to grow
Set your own deadline and give someone else the job of holding you to it. Your ideas are only worth anything once they leave your head.
And you?
