well the better sites show where one falls on the spectrum between each of the poles.

I am also INTP and these descriptions that I culled from multiple sites describe me very well: INTP’s “focus on ideas and concepts rather than facts and details;” INTP’s “prefer to be spontaneous and flexible rather than planned and organized;” INTP “minds are complicated and active” — we “go to great mental lengths trying to devise ingenious solutions to interesting problems;” INTP’s are ”typically non-traditional, and more likely to reason out their own individual way of doing things than to follow the crowd;” non-conformity is our natural state of being — it is not something we practice to shock others or make a statement. We “tend to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against themselves rather than as actual conversation partners,” making us “appear unreliable, but in reality no one is more enthusiastic and capable of spotting a problem, drilling through the endless factors and details that encompass the issue and developing a unique and viable solution — just don’t expect punctual progress reports.”

“When INTP’s are particularly excited, the conversation can border on incoherence as they try to explain the daisy-chain of logical conclusions that led to the formation of their latest idea.”
