Raymond as a Writer

INTPs are generally uninterested in writing until something captures their curiosity or interest. Once involved, INTPs can get too involved. INTP are iconoclasts; if they aren’t careful INTPs become cynical in their dotage.  They work best alone. Below are some of the advantages and challenges INTPs face when writing:

 

Strengths

At their best, they can be incisive, original writers, who cut to the chase.  They can find flaws in others’ arguments, and concisely correct these in writing.

They do excellent investigative research.

Present information in original never seen before format.  Outside the box.

Excellent self-starters but only if interested.

 

Challenges  or Shortcomings

Hard to get them going.

They may not have a clue how to  "hook" their audience.

Hopeless with canned formats.

Non-starters when not engaged by the subject or task at hand.

Isaac Asimov
Douglas Hofstadter
Robert Anson Heinlein

are three writers who in some opinions are INTP, I invite you to look at the forum above as a gathering of opinion on the INTP type as a writer by writers or writers who want to write who are INTP.  It’s all a bit self conscious.

    ME, YOU COULD NOT TRAIN. NOT WITH NOR WITHOUT A BOOK. I AM A WILD BROWN NORWEGIAN RAT. I AM A WILD PIECE OF NATURE’S DESIGN. I AM RAT. AM I GOING TO CHANGE? ARE YOU GOING TO TAME ME.? NOT A CHANCE. BUY THE BOOK BECAUSE I AM NOT THE DUMBO RAT YOU BOUGHT. YOU BOUGHT A TAME RAT LIKE PRINCESS DAKOTA
    META DUMBO RAT. SHE IS NOT A RAT LIKE ME. SHE DOES NOT BITE. SHE SMELLS NICE. I HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE I MET DAKOTA. I LOVE HER SO AND SO WILL YOU YOUR DUMBO.

    I HAVE A COPY OF THE BOOK. IT WORKS FOR ME AND IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. BUT ON A DUMBO. NOTHING WORKS ON A WILD RAT (Rattus norvegicus) .

    Funny how that works. At a glance the brown rat and the black rat look alike but each are a difference species of rat. They cannot bred with each other like dogs can. In the wild the two species compete. Their differences while slight to a lay person have resulted in different population distributions around the world. The black rat is the “ship rat”. By constrast Dumbo Rats and maybe a 1,000 or more strains of Rattus norvegicus are the same species of rat. They’ve gone uptown. You might say Dumbos are a product like ZERO COKE. As pets they are the New Black.
