About Quiet, serious and thoughtful, INTPs are usually intellectual and complicated people who appear quite dispassionate and reserved. However, they can become excited and persuasive about their ideas once they are ready to share them. INTPs can sometimes neglect to consider the more human side of issues. They can be critical and argumentative and may dismiss the feelings of others unless they understand them and can see that they make sense. They sometimes don’t pay enough attention to the emotional part of their lives and may have difficulty reaching out to friends when in need. INTPs need to watch their tendency to be impatient with and critical of people less competent than them.
