INTP

According to your answer choices, you are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving (INTP). Also known as the “Thinkers”, INTPs are incredibly planners, who adapt easily changes in schedules, assignments or projects. Their ability to adjust so easily, allows them to be able to brainstorm solutions and anticipate problems that other people may have more difficulty doing. They love challenges and are always looking for opportunities that will challenge them to grow professionally and personally. This makes them excellent at strategic planning, leadership coaching, and writing.

Additionally, INTPs enjoy working by themselves and excel in environments that do not require them to work around others all of the time. They work efficiently and effectively in areas where they are free to create their own schedules, so they can work at their own pace.

Your personality type can be best broken down into the following chart:

Myers-Briggs Personality	Work and Personal Life Preferences
Introverted	Typically enjoys working alone. Gets easily drained when they are asked to socialize for extended periods of time. Prefers to make major decisions by themselves.
Intuitive	Makes decisions based on their “gut-feeling.” Does not often need facts or sensory details to make an assertion. Can easily read between the lines. Tends to work best when the bigger picture is explained to them before the explanation of specific details.
Thinking	Prefers to make decisions that are the best for the given situation rather than factoring in the opinions of others. Prefers to approach situations from an analytical standpoint where pros and cons are considered. They try to be impersonal by removing any personal biases they have.
Perceiving	Prefers to think of the bigger picture before focusing on specific details. Works best without a to-do list. Likes the freedom to create their own schedule and likes to keep their schedule open to make room for any changes.

Shadows/Opportunities to Grow:

You second-guess your abilities a lot and begin doubting yourself.
Sometimes you have difficulty focusing on more than one thing at a time because you’re an “all in” type of person. You put all of your energy and time into one, specific idea and you tend to sometimes ignore everything and everyone else.
People may misinterpret your intelligence and interest in sharing that with others with being condescending or a “know it all”.
Some people may fear approaching you with certain situations because they know that you may get frustrated when explaining something to someone that they don’t quite understand.
You are a free-spirited, which is a good thing, but also makes you susceptible to disliking rules that limit your imagination.
You are not afraid of taking risks that will benefit others, but this could place you in some really stressful and risky situations.
Some may confuse your decision-making processes as being insensitive because you try to handle situations rationally rather than with biased emotions.
You enjoy being alone, which makes it easy for you to become withdrawn or shy in social settings.

What Can You Do?

Discover what it is that makes you feel shy or uncomfortable in social environments? Is it the superficial conversations or loud music overwhelming you? Once you can determine the source of it, identify ways that can help you challenge yourself to get through it.
Attend networking events to get used to interacting with others on a professional basis more often.
Don’t be afraid to create a balance between being sensitive to the sentiments of others, and doing what’s best for the situation. You can encourage this by explaining to your peers as to why you came to this decision and how you’ve taken everyone’s thoughts into consideration, but ultimately had to do what was best.
Make yourself more available to your peers, coworkers, and employees, so that they get to know both sides of your personality.
Check in with your peers, coworkers, and employees more often to see if they need help or see how they are doing. The more they feel you care about them as a person, the more improvements you’ll see in their professional sphere as well.
Create a list for yourself of things you would like to get done throughout the week. Doing so will allow you to put all your focus into those assignments for the week.
Develop “break days” and “work days” during the week, so that you allow time for you to be spontaneous, but you also allow yourself time to really focus on the work you need to get done.
Go out and practice small talk.
Broaden your horizons and your interests.
Understand that people might not be as interested in your theoretical pursuits and connect to them on a more emotional level.
