stub for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
Carl Jung, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and just about every famous mathematician are INTPs.
INTPs excel in the world of abstract thought and are excellent at recognizing patterns in what seems to be chaos. The world of computer programming is a haven for INTPs. In fact the concept of a Wikipedia was probably dreamed up by an INTP. Richard M. Stallman is a classic case of INTP. Insightful, quiet, logical and rebellious.
INTPs tend to have their S become more developed as they get older. This is similar to how ISTPs whose N tends to become more developed as they age.
INTPs, always open to new and perhaps even crazy ideas (see Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future), push the limitations of scientific thought and architecture. The frontiers of science are almost always discovered by INTPs. In this way, they are very similar to ISTPs which push the boundaries of the physical world.
Whew, this is begging for revision..... LOL
Stuff moved from the article:
INTPs are scientists. Practically every great scientist is an INTP. e.g. Newton, Einstein, Galileo. The definition of an INTP is a logical thinking, introverted visionary that bucks the trend. (I know, crudely put for wikipedia but what the hell, someone else can nuke this or fix it up. In fact by including this sentence will 100% guarantee that it will happen)
INTPs tend to have a special relationship with ISTPs. The Wright brothers were an ISTP/INTP combo. One cooked up the idea that a plane could fly and the other actually did it. Also, the Warchawski brothers that directed the Matrix are a modern day example of an INTP/ISTP combo. The abstract idea of going into the Matrix was probably the INTP idea and all the Kung Fu was totally ISTP.
I can't find much here that goes beyond the information in Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Perhaps a redirect would be enough. Kosebamse 06:13, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)
