Then let's look at it the way you apparently look at it. Next paragraph:
"INTPs value knowledge above all else."
Um, no that would be SEX. Or knowledge as to how to acquire more SEX. Does that count?
"Their minds are constantly working to generate new theories, or to prove or disprove existing theories."
Because I'm always reading about SEX, and it gives me ideas.
"They approach problems and theories with enthusiasm and skepticism, ignoring existing rules and opinions and defining their own approach to the resolution."
Don't tell ME how to have SEX.
"They seek patterns and logical explanations for anything that interests them."
Ehh, she doesn't like me cuz she's a sleaze anyway. Good riddance.
(And so on.)
No you didn't understand what im saying at all, the framework of what you believe my argument to be is completely incorrect. How does a person or a collection of people define their judgements on what a person's psychological type is when no one can really agree on what defines what?
Have you read my posts and threads? Im always looking for more information and knowledge, not just from discussions on here but in my own spare time where I absorb as much as I can about that which interests me or which appears to be relevant.
They typically are so strongly driven to turn problems into logical explanations, that they live much of their lives within their own heads, and may not place as much importance or value on the external world.
Could have described me down to a tee as a child, I spent inordinate amounts of time in my own head, trying to work out or analyse why something is or what it is, how it is defined, how it
works. Also what are the parts which tie it together.
Their natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding may turn into a feeling of personal responsibility to solve theoretical problems, and help society move towards a higher understanding.'
Oh *insert deity of choice here* yes! Im endlessly trying to do this when I talk to others about my ideas or in a discussion, even if you do not see it on here much.
You said:
How could I say "maybe" to this description? I especially like this part, "Their natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding."
Well exactly, how could you say no? It doesn't matter how rational you might believe yourself to be, how possessed of critical thinking you might appear to be, everyone has that part of them that loves a bit of self affirmation, something to latch onto, for the ego to feed off. Did you ever consider that this speaks to you because you want it to be right?
Incidentally:
"Their natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding."
That pretty much describes my entire time here. Im constantly trying to understand this theory, my own theories and the theories of others, looking for some ground work of concreteness into which I can sink my mind.
But the point is, I seriously doubt you, or many others here, would type me as an INTP. Would you? So who is more correct, where is the definer? Where is the concrete? I wouldn't even consider INTP for myself, but I relate immensely to that description.
Being certain in your own opinions and judgements does not make them more correct or accurate.
Incidentally I may just remove MBTI from my profile altogether as it seems to encourage people's biases rather than an understanding of minds.
