What it means to be INTP

Your brain never really turns off — it's always pulling at some idea, some question, some thing that doesn't quite add up yet.

You're drawn to understanding how things work at the root level, not just on the surface.

Brilliantly analytical and genuinely original, you're the person who sees angles no one else thought to look for.
