Introduction

What characteristics does the INTP display on the job and during retirement?

The INTP at Work

Work that doesn't involve the use of intellect and the opportunity for self-mastery soon becomes sheer drudgery for the INTP. In fact, if a job doesn't afford such challenges, he or she is often better off seeking new employment. Otherwise, over the long run, their on-the-job listlessness will result in undue stress, accident proneness, and overall poor performance.

The Older INTP

For older INTPs, the senior years afford ample time to theorize and dream, with much less accountability to hold them back.

During some of that time, INTPs may experience growing extroversion and subjectivity -- that is, they may become more like an ENFP -- which may be simultaneously both scary and quite exciting.

As that phase passes, however, the INTP will most likely settle into a senior citizenship devoted to developing new thoughts and ideas, in order to present them to younger generations.
