I was an INTP, and worked in technology, and now I am an INFP and am interested in becoming a coach / counselor. Its incredible how the personality change paralleled my shifting interests, and career goals. I used to be someone who was impatient with chatter that was not related to the objective, for example when speaking to someone in customer service asking me "how is your day?" - that used to annoy me. Now I feel like relating to them and understanding how they are, and respond to people in a more more empathetic way. Like others I do shift back to INTP every now and again when I hear illogical arguments, or ones that are not based on facts. Nice to know there are others out there with similar personality traits.
