The one where I'm Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

Haven't updated in a while. I thought I'd tell you a bit about myself. And by "myself", I mean about what some Jungians think about people who think about themselves similarly to the way I think about myself.

INTPs...

...are known for their quest for logical purity...Clear and quick thinkers...able to focus with great intensity on their interests. They appreciate elegance and efficiency in thought processes and require them, even more so, in their own communications....do not like to deal with the obvious. They are at their best in building conceptual models and developing unusual and complex ideas.

...are relentless learners in areas that hold their interest....often seem 'lost in thought'...go to great depths in their analysis....contribute a logical, system-building approach to their work. They like being the architect of a plan, because of the scheming and thinking involved, far more than being the implementer of that plan. ...the hours that they spend are not what is important to them, but rather the completion of their thought process. When their projects are of interest to them, they can become mesmerized and may even work through the night. when their projects are not intriguing, their work is considered drudgrery, and the INTP finds it difficult to stay motivated....usually find a place in their work for using their logical and structured thinking. They enjoy work that allows them to abstract, to generalize beyond the data, and to build models

...live rich worlds inside their minds...are not likely to have a very large circle of significant relationships in their lives...a few very close relationships, which they hold in great esteem and with great affection...primary focus and attention is turned inwards, aimed towards seeking clarity from abstract ideas...be difficult to get to know well, and hold back parts of themselves until the other person has proven themselves "worthy"...once committed to a relationship, very faithful and loyal...no interest or understanding of game-playing with regards to relationships....usually pretty easy to live with and be around, because they have simple daily needs and are not overly demanding of their partners in almost any respect...internal life is highly theoretical and complex, external life in comparison is usually quite simple...very creative person, who has vivid imaginations.
Natural partner: ENTJ or ESTJ (or ENFJ).
