Obviously as an INtP Introverted thinking is my stongest trait, However my Extroverted intuition is seriously getting higher!

You should post something just like this but for Extraverted Thinking. Would be interesting to see what it says

Extraverted Thinking

[DarkSideOfLight]

Is this just me or it sounds more like intuitive thinking for most part of it rather than just introverted thinking.

I bet xSTPs have hard time to relate to this description.

I am INTP and I have a little hard time relating to some of it. First paragraph is alright however.
It seems to go a little too deep (or wide), I think introverted thinking is not something so specific. It's just one cognitive process not a whole personality. I can relate to some of it tho.

Their inner, logical reasoning makes them feel that they are right, and they may take up an attitude to the external world also, which might be expressed as follows: "That is my opinion, even if I can't prove it; whether you agree or not, it will not change it to the slightest degree."

For example that reminds me more of INTJ, who are not supposed to use Ti that much anyway.
I am new to all this and trying to understand cognitive processes, so don't be too harsh one me if I say something totally wrong. :P

Maybe it's just from a perspective of 100% introverted thinker. But even then I imagine it's harder to connect it to a more practical mind of ISTP.

"An introverted thinker, when in love, feels awkward, uncertain and ridiculous."

I can definitely relate....

"Hence we see here a living contact with ideas, and subtle reflection and consideration, side by side with difficulty in expressing and applying what has been thought out,"

this jumped out at me...i like to discuss ideas and so on with ppl in conversation, but i often feel 'inarticulate' and feel that i have difficulty putting my ideas into clear succincnt language that others understand, and so I often feel the need to apologise for being 'so inarticulate' (writing is easier) in speech and ppl always express surprise and say they think im VERY articulate!

Me exactly. People say the same thing to me, but I often feel that the difference between what goes on in my head and what I'm able to express is VAST. I feel like my TRUE ideas and thoughts would leave people speechless if I could only get them out. Maybe it's that way for everyone though.

Since the introvert finds the motives for his aspirations more within himself, he is less dependent on external stimuli. This is counter-balanced, however, by greater susceptibility to inner difficulties, which, accordingly, may damage his working capacity. And while his independence of circumstances gives him great perseverance, even where initially no success is to be looked for, it may also happen that he will squander his best powers on something impossible from the practical point of view, without realizing this in time.



This is chilling.
