Managing the INTP

myersandbriggs:

TO FUNCTION BEST INTPs NEED:

Freedom to work independently. Opportunities to design, problems to solve. Intellectual variety and support for their ideas. Positive feedback, recognition, and a reason for what they are doing.

INTPs ARE FRUSTRATED BY:

Being told what to do and how to do things. Unintelligent demands. Routine and redundancy. Overly emotional responses.

INTPs IRRITATE OTHERS BY:

Appearing arrogant and not communicating. Hurting others’ feelings. Skepticism and hair-splitting. Refusing to deal with details and a lack of execution.

INTPs VALUE:

Concepts, intelligence, and ingenuity.

INTP: Chameleon.
