Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.


A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves.
I have spent most of my life as an INTP, and am now just borderline ENTP, but this description is phenomenal. I'm even a linguist.
