Summary of Dr. A.J. Drenth's The INTP

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 INTPs use Introverted Thinking as their dominant function. They are not only concerned with the big picture, but also with the fundamental nature of things and existence. They are not only concerned with truth, but also with meaning. #2 INTPs are typically fun to be around, but they are also very secretive about the true contents of their inner world. They feel their level of knowledge and competence is often lost on others, especially in the workplace. #3 The research found that women are more submissive and concerned with feelings than ideas, and men are more assertive and excited by ideas than feelings. These findings seem to apply to INTPs as well, and may explain why female INTPs are more likely to be Fe than male INTPs are. #4 Each personality type is thought to use four main functions that make up its functional stack. The functions are ordered according to their degree of strength and differentiation, as well as their availability for conscious employment. The most differentiated and conscious function is the dominant function, followed by the auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior functions respectively.
