[INTP] INTP - The Critic?

[Cypocalypse]

I've seen many web articles describing the INTP as the 'Architect'. Sometimes, the 'Thinker'.

I find 'Architect' to be inaccurate. If that meant a literal Architect, then that doesn't make a good fit. Too much sensory skills needed, and the thinking function that's required is more Te than Ti.

Do you think Critic is more accurate?

 

[Haphazard]

Yes, if personal experience applies.

 

[Jack Flak]

Nah. I haven't in a while, but I used to draw schematics for fun, designing structures and objects.

The socionics INTp is referred to as "The Critic." But socionics INTp is correlated with INTJ.

 

[disregard]

Architect implies building.. which seems more Ti.

Critiquing/Cricticising is more Te.. working with what already exists.

Well I'm INTP and INTp (Though as far as their descriptions go, half INTp half INTj), and last I checked they called INTp "Observers."

 

[The Ü™]

Ti is the internal analysis of ideas or data.

Te is the active structuring and controlling of the external world.

Oh damn, you are right. Yes, the INTj is either called "The Critic" or "The Analyst" and the INTp is "The Observer."

Ti is the nitpicking function. Yes, definitely.

I think architect was meant in the sense of systems rather than real things, and it isn't that good a description, because they don't so much "build" systems as uncover systems through critical analysis, if I understand Ti correctly (which I may not).

INTP - The Layabout/Genius.

Seriously speaking, INTPs are exceptional with any kind of architecture (technical, systems, data, etcetera).

The deconstructor?

 

[Xander]

My father told me that INTP is the 'definer'.

If you look at most "arguements" with INTPs involved it's a common habit to try to define things correctly. Sort of ensuring the basis for conversation is correct before engaging in the actual subject being discussed.

The deconstructor?

I think this is going in the right direction, at least to the type of critic that INTPs would be.

All people sense, intuitors included, and Te and Ti are the same mechanism.

 

[Cypocalypse]

Hmmm....

In my opinion:

Analysis - Ti (deconstructor). Yeah, the nitpicking function.

Synthesis - Te

In my opinion, INTPs could be better critics than the TJ because of the former's flexible P function which needs to be adaptive in criticizing various forms of art (film, etc.) or system. Not everything should be judged the same.

TJs tend to apply a universal objective elaborate guideline to everything.

I'm gonna point out that Ti is certainly about precision, but it's also about The Truth in the largest sense of the word. The pursuit of this Truth generally involves the intellectual building of complex models and algorithms to encompass and express said vast idea. Indeed, the model needed to complete the logical processing and honing can (and usually does) end up being more complicated than the idea itself. Ti Ne used appropriately is about distilling concepts out of the ether, purifying and testing them intellectually, then deriving more knowledge from them. It can be used as a knife, slicing up flawed arguments and propositions, but is primarily used in creation and (where critique comes in) distillation.

 

[colmena]

^Yes!

Now put it into an 'er word.

 

[sandwich]

The deconstructor?

I hate that word. I'd rather be a Critic.

ha ha ha

One of my closest friends is an INTP. Sometimes, we do a group chat with some of our mutual friends and she picks on their grammar. I notice, but don't bother saying anything because it's not something the people being corrected will realistically change. Why bother? My friend doesn't care though. Wrong is wrong, to her.

Nice definition... *cough*
