MBTI Personality Types
INTP
INTPs often serve teams best by working on aspects of projects independently. They function best when given concrete and practical outcomes that must be achieved. Left to their own devices, INTPs enjoy working on abstract problems and may have little regard for practical application. What Are INTP Issues and Challenges in Groups/Best Alliances? In forming alliances, INTPs must be
convinced it is essential to achieving the outcome rather than an
encumbrance
that might limit their ability to think independently. Some INTPs come
rather uneasily
to the conclusion that they must develop cooperation and alliances, if
they are to deliver value to the group and earn a livelihood. INTPs and the Rest of their Lives INTPs are natural truth seekers who want to know the true nature of the world around them—math, science, nature, people and ideas. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), was the most innovative and important architect in U.S. history. As an INTP type person, Wright set about to create a new type of architecture, clean and unembellished and congruent with the environment. 300 of his structures stand today. Wright pursued a sometimes chaotic life without regard to the public. INTPs will be most comfortable in relationships with people who value abstract discussion and theory. INTPs seek the perfect. They will make great effort to maintain relations well, seeking to make relationships the best that they can be. They will always offer interesting ideas and points of view and can be quite tolerant of the diversity of others’ thinking. |

INTPs are often found in the
role of independent researchers and analysts. They also frequently work in fields
such as software development, architecture or engineering. They are the people who are
most apt to challenge the status quo and to question the direction of
people and groups. 
INTPs
work best with an understanding boss or coworker who sees their
contribution and can be comfortable with extensive analysis and
the challenges that INTPs almost inevitably make.
