Question #1233530136 | Sunday, 1-Feb-2009 |
|
|
I'm a PhD student and I've consistently been typed as INTj. My question concerns my advisor, whom I'm not sure is INTp or ISTp. He's a mathematician and is quite into detail and pedantic, as opposed to me. I often make intuitive leaps in proving certain math results, which he finds impressive, but he always insists that I show him each and every step I took to get the answer. In this respect, I think he's INTp. On the other hand, he gravitates towards adrenaline junkie type sports, like para-gliding etc. In fact, he seems to thrive on adrenaline, given that he does things at the last minute, right before the deadline, which irks me to no end, since we don't have a plan at all . But somehow, he always seems to pull through, despite all the crises and is quite self-confident. These seem to be ISTp qualities instead. He's not so much into small talk either, but that could be either type. Any opinions? -- wondering |

A1 INTp, i would gravitate toward this from what i read in socionics.us BLOG and wikisocion (functions: cool-down stuff and perspectivizing sports, although i hav'nt read ISTp).... But especially, just from your document... why assume that ISTp is = self-confidence, ... obviously this is someone older who is used to dealing extensively with his functions, from how i read things IS actually the Main Reason INTPs struggle and are unconfident for they deal with the Pulling-Apart by . But once u have life experience and are in a stream where this , pull generates STUFF from thin Pushing of Air... (ur story: no plan comes together)...like what i do here, although this rush is definitely not regular nor recognized nor pays me, so i'll that that intps example and head for those deeper waters, where i will actually want more adrenalin for that is how my - interaction would meet (space work time result.. and pay to pay for those dangerous sports) amen what i prayer, and at same time arrogance to face, again what a prayer -- @sirac |
A2 English translation of @sirac machine-code: Based on the evidence, your advisor seems to be INTp. -- INFp guy |
