Hi there...

Hi Everyone - Just a short note to say hi - I have tested INTP forever and finally have the courage to join a site with similar others... I am so overwhelmingly "I" that I will be scared to post but will try to get over it.
I hear not very many women are INTP so it will be nice to meet some - I feel like I have divergent interests from most others I meet in the dirt world.

Welcome aboard

I hope you'll find you've come to the right place for even the strongly introverted. And there's no shortage of "divergent interests" here, either, heh.

What are you interested in at the moment?

We're glad you finally made it.

Hello!

There are lots of female INTPs here (myself included), it's hard to know for sure but I suspect somewhere around half the forum is female.

I was shy about posting when I first joined this INTP community, but as you read the threads you'll soon realize that you're surrounded by people that very much want to hear other people's thoughts about things they're interested in.

Hi Linnea - thanks! I've been geeking out for a while on "bad" seventies music and economic news - I kind of get spun up (inside) re: certain issues. A lot of my interests are completely mundane - like why bother right? But I can't help it! I like bad movies, bad music, etc. I'm kind of obsessed with some of the neuroimaging work and how it might impact my own field - so I spent (waste) time reading (what should be irrelevant to me) research.

-r.

Nice! Right - like I feel all the time like I have interesting stuff to say but I always talk myself out of it... thanks...
