INTP Yet Brazen

Seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests them. Theoretical and abstract, interested more in ideas than in social interaction. Quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. Have unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in their area of interest. Skeptical, sometimes critical, always analytical.

TOP IDEA: Andrew Shell Can INTPs be entrepreneurs? Do we think too much without enough action? Do we need a partner to make it happen?

My comfort lies in being the 'thinker' and thinking up new solutions to problems. I don't know how many domain names I've bought only for them to go unused. I get the idea, then I just fall out of love with it. For instance, I'd like to start a tech blog, but didn't feel like I could come up with enough regular content for it to be worthwhile. So I dropped it.

I don't think this is a bad thing though, in many cases I gave up the idea because I realized it was just a bad idea.

Alan Koskelin How can an INTP sell themselves as "the architect of ideas and systems [and] edifices"? Too often that's heard as "won't get anything done."

If you help companies by being an "architect of ideas" you should have examples of projects you've worked on. If you're an entrepreneur trying to sell your architect services you should have customer referrals and case studies of how you created value. Once you have that there shouldn't be any worries that you won't get anything done.

Jay Hepner: Hearing you, Bill. Even though, as mentioned I'm "officially" INFP. I'm a feeling thinker.

Or is that a thinking feeler?

Rhett Garber Ever been accused of being too critical, yet you thought you were just being helpful ?

23 weeks ago from INTP Yet Brazen

Monica Evans: Too critical, too judgmental whatever you call it, sometimes I think we want to "fix" stuff when others want us to just listen.

Jay Hepner: Absolu! When you have knowledge, you want to share. but many seem to think you're showing off. No, contributing.

JR Moreau When you feel like being alone and concentrating, do you go to the park or a crowded coffee shop where you don't know anybody?

27 weeks ago from INTP Yet Brazen

Rhett Garber: This is a hard question. Sometimes a crowd seems more comfortable because I feel I can just blend in. Parks are rarely quite private enough.

Jay Hepner Hi! Just a wordup here: Was assessed as INFP 'bout 20 years pasado, but have been known to overthink anything.

And be brazen, too.

Monica Evans Does anyone else find it hard to do "small talk". I can have really deep conversations, but I hate small talk. How do you cope?

Monica Evans: Nope, b/c I'm often anticipating what the other person is going to say & I'm thinking about what I'm going to say.

JR Moreau: Monica, I feel you on that. I often get excited and want to add my two cents! However I do my best to listen more than talk sometimes
