General characteristics

INTPs are always trying to find the most precise, organized categories to order and arrange all the information they collect in their minds. They don’t accept rules or facts based on tradition or social norms; instead, they constantly sift through data to see what is usable, accurate, and logical. INTPs don’t want to push their agenda on others or force others into their way of thinking; they are independent and believe in “living and letting live”. But they’re also unwilling to compromise just to reach a consensus with others – if it doesn’t make sense to them, they can’t go along with it.
