Strengths & Weaknesses

Logician (INTP) Strengths

Analytical – Logicians analyze everything that they come

across, from research data to the behavior of the people

around them. This gives them a knack for spotting

unexpected patterns and connections that other personality

types might overlook.

Original – Thanks to their unrelenting imagination,

Logicians can come up with creative, counterintuitive ideas

that wouldn’t occur to most people. Not all of these ideas

are feasible, of course, but Logicians’ willingness to think

outside the box can produce remarkable innovations.

Open-Minded – Logicians are driven by curiosity and an

intense desire to learn everything that they can. People with

this personality type tend to be receptive to new ideas and

ways of doing things – as long as those ideas are supported

by sound reasoning.

Curious – These personalities are always casting about for

new pursuits, hobbies, and areas of research. One week,

they might be obsessed with geophysics, and the next, they

might lose themselves in videos about guitar building. When

inspiration strikes, Logicians go all in on their newfound

interest, learning everything that they can.

Objective – Logicians care about the truth. Rather than

taking comfort in ideology or received ideas, they want to

understand what’s really going on beneath the surface of

things. As a result, they can be relied upon to combat bias

and misinformation, even when it isn’t easy to do so – and

they expect other people to be honest with them in return.

Logician (INTP) Weaknesses

Disconnected – Logicians can get lost in their own train of

thought, even when they’re with other people. When these

personalities !nally resurface with something to say, they

may !nd that the conversation has moved on without them.

This can cause them to feel disconnected from other

people, especially in large social gatherings.

Insensitive – People with this personality type see

rationality as the key to a better, happier world. At times,

they may underestimate the importance of such irrational

values as emotion, compassion, etiquette, and tradition. As

a result, they may inadvertently come across as insensitive

or unkind, even though their intentions are generally good.

Dissatis!ed – Logicians can’t help but imagine how things

could be better than they already are. These personalities

are constantly on the lookout for problems to solve, topics

to learn, and new ways to approach things. Taken too far,

this mindset can become overwhelming, with Logicians

constantly trying to reinvent the wheel rather than reliably

addressing their needs and responsibilities.

Impatient – Logicians take pride in their knowledge and in

sharing their ideas. When it comes to explaining their

rationale, however, they aren’t always patient. If their

conversation partner doesn’t follow along or seem

su"ciently interested, Logicians may give up with a

dismissive “never mind.”

Perfectionistic – Logicians want to get things done, but

their quest for perfection can get in the way. At times, these

personalities may get so lost in analyzing various options

that they never reach a decision. They may also give up on

projects that don’t match the ideal vision in their mind.
