One of 16 personality types

INTP: The Theorist

You want to know why it works, not just that it does.

You take things apart in your head. You enjoy a good puzzle, a clean argument and finding the flaw in an idea before anyone else does.

You are easy-going about most rules and strict about logic. Plans bore you; a question you cannot yet answer does not.

How it shows up

Strengths

  • +Original, analytical thinker
  • +Spots inconsistencies fast
  • +Open-minded about new ideas

Watch out for

  • !Starts far more than you finish
  • !Forgets to share what you worked out

What helps

Pick one idea to finish this month and give it a deadline. Even a rough finished version teaches more than a perfect unfinished one.

For self-reflection and fun, not a diagnosis or professional assessment. This independent quiz is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Myers & Briggs Foundation. Myers-Briggs and MBTI are registered trademarks of the MBTI Trust.
