INTPs can quickly locate inconsistencies or logical shortcomings in a given theory or argument. They excel in pinpointing exceptions or imagining scenarios in which a proposed explanation might breakdown. Due to their acute sensitivity to theoretical exceptions, they can be quick (sometimes too quick) to discard entire theories, throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. — location: [244](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B00H7NWLJ6&location=244) --- They may even construct charts and diagrams in hopes of maximizing the coherency, consistency, and structure of their ideas. While at times helpful, when this hardcore front-end structuring fails to produce the clean and cogent framework they desire, they tend to swing back toward the less predictable methods of Ne. This might, for instance, involve doing more writing and less categorizing, trusting that connections and insights will emerge through the less conscious creative process. — location: [259](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B00H7NWLJ6&location=259) --- INTJs, by contrast, often describe the writing process as more burdensome or draining. This may be partly due to the fact that INTJs seem to have a better sense of where they are headed than INTPs do, making the writing process seem more like work and less like discovery. — location: [266](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B00H7NWLJ6&location=266)its likely i have some overlap with intj. I notice similarities there too. --- In its verbal incarnation, Ne resembles a sort of “brainstorming aloud.” Consequently, INTPs’ speech is often sporadic and uneven, sometimes rambling, as their Ne randomly bounces from one idea to the next. — location: [271](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B00H7NWLJ6&location=271)
