So, I made the test several times and with years in between and the result is always the same: INTP, but I don't really find myself similar to people here, for example, in this comment section, nor t o the person who this article. I don't think I'm as intelligent as I was supposed to be, upbringing, disease, etc. but I still find that many people come very short and away from what a real INTP is supposed to be. Also, INTP are the rarest of personalities, so, It should be hard to find them, but what I mostly find is people believing to be an INTP when there are most likely NOT. For example: "esoteric concepts" I'm sure NO INTP is into those, since that involves believing in theories that cannot be proved! Next: " Others might describe him as an insufferable know-it-all who can never admit he is wrong " hummmmm. great hummmm. NO true INTP should be fall into that category, because the ALL a INTP BRAIN wants to do is to find where the error lies and there is nothing more enjoyable than when you find an error in your thinking, it's like an open door to the unknown that will soon be known by you! because finding errors in your theories, means improvement and being close to the truth and that is absolutely delightful! So, when I found ONE, just one person, who could show me some error in my thinking, I was fascinated to find such a human being, that could give me fact and logical material to support his theory and show me that was wrong. I loved it! Wish all humans would have that capacity, then true INTP would be the rule and not the exception. Next:
"You find emotions irrational and unnerving"
WTF ??????????????????情绪是一个巨大的部分human beings, if you are true INTP you would LOGICALLY know that and accept it and launch yourself on the adventure to know more about emotions, not only yours, but those of humans and animals as well. It's a pandora box! but it still has it's rules, so not INTP would think emotions as irrational. That is so not intelligent.
"You can be cutting and passive aggressive"
NOoooooooooooooooooooooooo、被动进取is nt tided to a personality, it is tided to being a coward and having huge difficulties to assert yourself and express your true self and needs. So, that has nothing to do with INTP. INTP has not need to be passive aggressive, they know they got something right, or some fact or some knowledge, that makes you assertive which is the opposite of being a sorry passive aggressive person. That is why people get annoyed by INTP, because they do dare to express what they think, because faking what they really think would not be logical and the brain doesn't let you express things that are not true.
"You have the attention span of a goldfish"
WTF again! having that problem has another name and I don't think that is a characteristic of INTP, because that is a disorder and LOGICALLY disorders do not belong to personality traits. INTP get bored easily, right, because their brains are are back and forth 10 times already when the speaker, writer, teacher, etc has just given two steps to certain direction. But, if an INTP finds an interesting teacher, speaker writer, etc, they will surely focus their attention to what this person is saying. LOGICALLY, if the material/topic/information is lose and obvious, there is not need to waste energy focusing on something to meh!
I didn't even read the whole article, because LOGICALLY all the tittles should tell me what the each section is all about and that tittles were saying: here is no true INTP found and there is no logic to support this information.
I know, hate me, but I'm right. Just look it at this way: between you and Albert Einstein there is a WORLD of difference, so either the test is too wide and includes people that should not include, or you were not really honest and you are confused on who you are and your personality type. I really don't think many real INTP would even waste time explain this here, but I do it because it's fun to let you know guys that you are not INTP and that if you have problems focusing, exerting, etc or/and problems understanding or denying your emotions, if you have developed emotional disorders such as being passive aggressive and if you believe in esoteric theories and you are trying to "tune down your supposed INTP personality", you are LOST and you are not an INTP!!! because this article is not even base in facts, it has huge contradictions you if you were a real INTP you would have NOTICED IT!
