INTPs live rich worlds inside their minds, which are full of
imagination and excitement. Consequently, they sometimes find the external
world pales in comparison. This may result in a lack of motivation to form and
maintain relationships. INTPs are not likely to have a very large circle of
significant relationships in their lives. They're much more likely to have a
few very close relationships, which they hold in great esteem and with great
affection. Since the INTP's primary focus and attention is turned inwards,
aimed towards seeking clarity from abstract ideas, they are not naturally tuned
into others' emotional feelings and needs. They tend to be difficult to get to
know well, and hold back parts of themselves until the other person has proven
themselves "worthy" of hearing the INTP's thoughts. Holding Knowledge
and Brain Power above all else in importance, the INTP will choose to be around
people who they consider to be intelligent. Once the INTP has committed
themself to a relationship, they tend to be very faithful and loyal, and form
affectionate attachments which are pure and straight-forward. The INTP has no
interest or understanding of game-playing with regards to relationships.
However, if something happens which the INTP considers irreconciliable, they
will leave the relationship and not look back.
