My relationship with INTPs has always been a beautiful and tempestuous one. Over the past five years, I have encountered an increasing number of INTPs in my life. My best friend is an INTP, and I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with INTP colleagues as well. One of the things that strikes me the most about the INTP personality type, is their incredible potential for success, as well as some of the dangerous pitfalls, that are hidden within their Cognitive Functions.

This book comprises of 5 chapters. In every chapter, I will be highlighting one unique obstacle, that can prevent INTPs from achieving success, and from living the life of their dreams. I will also offer solutions for that obstacle. To the beloved INTPs out there, a note: this book is not for the faint-hearted. Your flaws, weaknesses and insecurities will be discussed ahead. So, please only proceed if you are in a state of mind, where you will be able to handle this information. Also, this book is not an introductory primer to typology or to the INTP personality type. This book is meant for curious seekers, who already have a beginners’ level knowledge of Typology & some level of awareness about the Cognitive Functions.

If you are unsure of your personality type, I urge you to take one of the most accurate personality assessments that I know designed by C.S. Joseph. This brief but valuable book includes anecdotes from the many years that I have observed INTPs, as well as insights that I have gathered by studying what the experts have to say about INTPs.

The names and details of the persons and stories, featured in the anecdotes, have been changed to protect their privacy. At the end of Chapter 5, I will include a list of References, that include not only my own references for this book, but also content, that I think will interest you curious INTPs a lot. The list of References is a perfect starting point, if you really want to dive deep into your personality.

If even one person’s life is positively impacted as a result of reading this book, I would consider it a personal success. I wish you a happy and positive reading experience.

Your Well-Wisher,
A.S.
