The Logician

INTPs are philosophical innovators, fascinated by logical analysis, systems, and design. They are preoccupied with theory and search for the universal law behind everything they see. They want to understand the unifying themes of life, in all their complexity. INTPs are detached, analytical observers who can seem oblivious to the world around them because they are so deeply absorbed in thought.
