INTP Females

Women with the INTP personality type

INTP females tend to be reserved, thoughtful personalities, who are often able to see the world in a fresh, unique way. They are likely to be extremely knowledgeable in the subjects that most interest them. They are skilled problem-solvers who are able to adapt to fit the needs of a situation. INTP females tend to have an easier time remaining objective than other, more emotionally-driven personalities. Some people may place unfair, stereotypical expectations on them to be “softer”, but they are likely to pursue their own path and avoid bending to fit into a certain mold.
