Illustrations of Type – INTP

Illustrations of Type – INTP

By Donna Dunning

Donna DunningIn my MBTI® Certification workshops participants respond to the instruction -“Describe your type using words, phrases, or pictures.” I find these visual representations of type preferences help illustrate individual differences.

Here is a photo of a response from a group who share INTP personality type preferences.

Notice the observation that INTPs may appear to others as snobbish, intimidating, or hard to read. This may be linked to the INTPs tendency to turn inward to analyze their situation.

I also like the phrase “ Flexible to a degree”. Although INTPs appear open ended, their dominant function is a decisive one (Ti). Although you usually see them as flexible, they are internally decisive. If the situation doesn’t make logical sense, their flexibility may disappear.

You may also enjoy looking at how other INTP groups have completed this illustration of type exercise.

As you look through the other illustrations you can see the logical, theoretical approach people with these preferences tend to take when they start a task.

If you are interested in seeing how people with different type preferences complete this exercise, check out the Illustrations of Type series.
