Sherlock Holmes, the novel version, is often identified as the INTP personality type, although ISTP is not an uncommon theory.

People often take creative liberties when […]

The INTP is a highly regarded and desirable personality type, making people prone to mistype as one. As many personality enthusiasts are aware, the typology community often falls prey to bias.

Attack on Titan is an epic anime with a wealth of characters to exemplify the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI).

In this article, I want to focus on a negative attribute, or perhaps more accurately, a downside of Introverted Thinking via an example from my life.
