Default Personality Profile

An INTP Profile
INTP is one of the 16 personality types defined in the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

I was wondering how accurate this statement might be for some of you.


"Photography is a classic interest of the INTP, which depends strongly on the Si - Ne combination, as well as on Ti for attention to technical detail. Landscape photography, for example, is the art of conveying a sense of mood/atmosphere to the viewer (Si). The correct employment of lenses, filters etc. brings out the Ti core, while the enjoyment of seeing the world as an fascinating varied object to be observed and captured in the best possible way brings out the Ne-Ti architect. Photos are also a way of capturing the present to evoke a sense of past in the future (Si). When involved in portrait or people photography, the INTP will also be primarily concerned with the mood conveyed by the person in the eye of the lens. Quality photographic skill, as well as an intrinsic feel for imagery, is usually second nature to the INTP and can make a good career choice. When viewing photographic images, say in magazines, the overriding concern is for how the photo is conveyed; its mood, its colour, contrast and shading usages, its perspectives and image quality. However, the actual subject of the image, which other types are likely to concentrate on first, takes a back seat unless it is unavoidably dramatic. Hence, INTPs may convey a very critical and impersonal approach in discussing images, which could lead to offence in some situations."

"INTPs are about 1% of the general population, making this one of the rarest of types."

I went to the guys' page and like the first sentence says: "I will assume that visitors to this page already have a basic knowledge of the MBTI system for I wish to concentrate on describing the INTP type as best I can."

...I'm still on; dude, wait, what?

I took one of these personallity tests once. Ironically, the test results indicated that I didn't like taking personallity tests.

I took one of those computerised personality tests once, all I got at the end was "Error divide by zero"
