INTP - The Thinkers

"The logical and analytical type. They are especialy attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding subtle connections between things and imagine far-reaching implications.
They enjoy working with complex things using a lot of concepts and imaginative models of reality. Since they are not very good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people, they might come across as arrogant, impatient and insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about."

h/t to Devil's Kitchen for pointing me to another little gadget purporting to analyse the content of a blog. This is the result for The Last Ditch. Make of it what you will. Personally, I think I am brilliant at "seeing and understanding the needs of other people," so must regard it as flawed.

Tom quoting www.typealyzer.com:

The logical and analytical type. [...] Since they are not very good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people, they might come across as arrogant, impatient and insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about.

Being a logical and analytical type, I see here an alternative parse.

Those who have had insufficient time to understand (a variable beast depending on worldly knowledge and thinking ability) would be better not saying anything (until later). That way, (needless) annoyance of others might be reduced.

In simpler, more understandable terms: "engage brain before opening mouth."

In addition, why are the logical and analytical types viewed as alone in failing to see/understand the needs of other people. In my experience, other groups (especially do-gooding types, socialists, uber-greens, etc) often fail to seen the needs of other people: frequently the people they have chosen to pick up the bill, by requiring that their view be not counted.

Finally, it takes a fair bit of analysis (and logic) to properly differentiate 'need' from 'want'.
