- "They are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and their reserve is difficult to penetrate."
- "For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed."
- "A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves."
- "Popular leisure activities for an INTP include reading, art and cultural events, chess and other strategy games, writing, taking classes, working with computers, backpacking, hiking, and meditation."
- "Have lowest level of coping resources of all the types (with ISTPs)"
- "INTPs may become stressed in situations where they are not able to separate themselves from others to analyze and reflect. The Architect recharges by turning inward, and when they are deprived of this private time and space, stress often follows."
- "INTPs do not like to lead or control people. They're very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of their firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case they may take a very rigid stance. The INTP is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people. On the other hand, the INTP is very self-confident and gregarious around people they know well, or when discussing theories which they fully understand."
- "But errors made by oneself attack the very root of the person, which is ultimately about rationality, logic and truth. INTPs hate to think of themselves being in any way inadequate, at least in areas that are important to them."
- "If left to their own devices, INTPs will retreat into the world of books and emerge only when physical needs become imperative."
