Of all types, Perspectives/Effectiveness genius is the most insightful. While other types may enjoy analysis and data-mining, it is this type that masters understanding new information that can be made useful. When at their best they are extraordinary problem solvers, foreseeing (and eliminating) potential pitfalls that others are blind to. Masters of resource systems and natural planners, no other type can match their ability to plan massive projects long before the first step is taken. Every detail is mapped out in their mind before anything can be seen in the outside world. This type is often highly rigorous with themselves before they will deem themselves as competent. They have high standards, and when mobilized and active are a force to be reckoned with.
INTP’s lead with the cognitive function Accuracy (Introverted Thinking). Accuracy is highly skilled at understanding systems and filleting out data points other people conflate. It’s like surgery for data points. It gets good at spotting inconsistencies and incongruities.
It also tends to get myopic. In order to take in a bigger picture and see how these data points fit into a larger narrative, Exploration – the process that engages with the environment to spot new patterns and understand how disparate things relate to each other – is the key to not missing important details that may otherwise be outside your frame of reference and experience.
