Rational Portrait of the Architect (INTP) Woo Hoo Thomas Jefferson, one of my (flawed) heroes, was an Architect

For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models.

Architects are rare - maybe one percent of the population - and show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types.

Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.


Architects often seem difficult to know. They are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and their reserve is difficult to penetrate.

Architects prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.
