The Tragedy of an INTP

Posted 2006-08-27 (日) 午後6:42 by terra

The burdens of being me:
…an ever-pervasive sense of impending doom (I tend to overthink things sometimes).
…perfectionism (it’s a disease).
…potential dilettanteism: once the subject no longer facinates me.
…reluctance to emote; the fear of being emotional: until stress accumulates, leading to emotional distress and outbursts.
…embarassment when being praised (WHY?)
…often misunderstood because of difficulties in expressing myself.
…hating to have to stick to convention and being wrongly thought of as being arrogant as a result.

Myers Briggs

According to the Myers-Briggs-Jung test in SimilarMinds.com:

INTP - “Architect”: Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.

And a facinating write-up in INTP.org which describes perfectly the personality that I am.
