INTEREST IN JOB CONTENT
(Those tasks you want to perform)

Preferences for AUDIOMIND fully support being perceptually, subconsciously, and consciously aware of fantasy, symbols, symbolic relationships, abstract ideas, options, and choice of options as they relate to creative or innovative activities. Perception triggers ideas in AUDIOMIND’s mind, a process that just happens – a process often called intuition. It is not a conscious effort to logically “come up with” creative ideas; instead, the process is best identified with the statement that “a thought struck me.” A quote by Carl Jung probably makes complete sense to AUDIOMIND: “Art is innate in the artist, like an instinct that seizes and makes a tool out of the human being. The thing in the final analysis that wills something in him is not he, the personal man, but the aim of the art.”

TEMPERAMENT FOR THE JOB
(How you prefer to perform tasks)

Most likely, AUDIOMIND has a logical mind which “makes sense” of what is perceived regarding the big picture and pieces of the picture within the context of that big picture. It is evaluation or assessment after perception, not the process of perception itself. Emphasis is on patterns, linkage, and relationships. Intuition may be involved in conjunction with this evaluation/assessment process.

APTITUDE FOR THE JOB
(Expression of performing tasks)

Philosophical, cultural, scientific, literary, managerial, and/or computational work, more than likely, represent very important types of mental activities for AUDIOMIND. Being capable in those activities, AUDIOMIND’s mind is naturally receptive to consider abstract ideas, theory, concepts, inquiry, exploration, analysis, logic, systems, and procedures. Factors in this aptitude section, plus the data and reasoning sections show the degree of motivation and talent AUDIOMIND has for each of those mental activities. High rating for this trait indicates an intellectual orientation that is functional in, or has potential for, academic, scientific, research, literary, executive, or consulting activities.

PEOPLE
(How you relate to people)

AUDIOMIND feels both privilege and responsibility to use communication (including persuasion) to voluntarily provide beneficial information to others. This includes strongly motivated benevolent and literary traits. Self-satisfaction comes almost exclusively from the subjective realization that the information, voluntarily given, has been helpful to other persons. AUDIOMIND is further motivated to learn and understand the other person(s) needs wishes and listening preferences. Non-persuasive service communication can become persuasive and persistent when expressed in the interest of someone needing AUDIOMIND to stand up for them.

THINGS
(How you relate to things)

AUDIOMIND’s motivations support ability to running/managing fixed machine operation, and the responsibility for machine performance, condition, output, and quality. (NOTE: This necessitates constant awareness of what is happening with the machine itself, with the processes being done by the machine, with materials going into the machine, quality of materials coming from the machine, and how and when to make adjustments and provide maintenance). A number of functions are involved and require a variety of talents that AUDIOMIND either has or is motivated to learn, the most important being machine savvy, alert monitoring of operations, and coping with routine.

DATA
(How you relate to data)

Compiling means more than simply gathering large volumes of data sheets and stuffing them in a filing cabinet. It means that AUDIOMIND is motivated to find, identify, classify, store, remember, and retrieve what is important or what might be important for future use. (NOTE: This is crucial for researchers, technical writers, lawyers, academic teachers, consultants, systems engineers, and programmers). This trait indicates a subconscious preference we could refer to as a “packrat” orientation, i.e., if it glitters; stuff it in the nest along with everything else because it might be useful sometime. Other traits will indicate how motivated the individual is to be thorough, practical, and efficient within this trait.

REASONING
(How you relate to reasoning)

AUDIOMIND is naturally motivated to use and apply rational formulas, rules, systems, and/or procedures to deal with concrete variables where only limited instructions or guidelines exist. Emphasis here is on solving operational or administrative PROBLEMS that develop in familiar areas. This is commonly known as ‘troubleshooting’ and AUDIOMIND has a natural preference for the mental procedure of doing so. Motivation is derived from a goal of getting the “train back on the track”. Although silly, AUDIOMIND probably sees the point clearly illustrated in a poem where a foreman reports a train wreck: “Off again. On again. Gone Again. Finnegan.” (NOTE: This trait requires onsite familiarity with operations, a sense or suspicion of where things might or could break down, and savvy about ways to fix the problem).

MATHEMATICAL CAPACITY
(How you relate to the applied usage of math)

AUDIOMIND is motivated to work with a wide variety of theoretical math concepts; make original application of those concepts; apply knowledge of advanced mathematical or statistical techniques to new areas of challenge, interest, or opportunity. Motivation is derived from conceptual, analytical, curious, and exploratory thinking. Research and theoretical logic probably appeal greatly to AUDIOMIND’s mind.

LANGUAGE CAPACITY
(How you relate to the usage of language)

AUDIOMIND is motivated to describe, explain, teach, illustrate, and interpret. This is a journalistic trait dedicated to inform people. Social, leadership, influential, technical, service, and functional traits are involved as well. Therefore, it is necessary to review all worker traits to more closely identify AUDIOMIND’s preferences relative to this trait.

INTP – Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving
[INTPs Represent 3-4% of the US population]

POTENTIAL STRENGHTS

INTPs are great strategic thinkers and creative problem solvers. They are especially interested in mastering and perfecting theoretical or complex issues. Quiet, serious and thoughtful, INTPs are usually intellectual and complicated people who appear quite dispassionate and reserved. However, they can become excited and persuasive about their ideas once they are ready to share them. INTPs are logical and analytical people, with a strong need to make sense of things.

Strongly independent, INTPs are driven to increase their personal mastery of subjects and are drawn to people of power and expertise. They tend to be open minded, intrigued with anything imaginative and many enjoy risk taking. They prefer to look beyond what is known or accepted at the present time and eagerly consider more creative yet reasonable approaches to problems or ways of perfecting systems.

POTENTIAL WEAKNESSES

Rules so completely by logic, INTPs can sometimes neglect to consider the more human side of issues. They can be critical and argumentative and may dismiss the feelings of others unless they understand them and can see that they make sense. INTPs are sometimes so single-minded and internally focused that they may not be fully aware of the world outside themselves.

Because INTPs use logic to understand their world, they sometimes don’t pay enough attention to the emotional part of their lives and may have difficulty reaching out to friends when in need. They set such incredibly high standards for themselves and their projects, they can become discouraged when they do not reach or exceed them. They tend to ignore the more practical phases of their work and may let the follow through and details fall through the cracks.

As an INTP, I am good at…..

* Using creativity and insight to understand issues in depth.
* Logical analysis of complex problems.
* Working alone with great focus and concentration.
* Learning new skills and technology with ease and competence.
* Engaging in long range and strategic thinking.

I need to watch my tendency to…..

* Be impatient with and critical of people less competent than I.
* Develop such complicated arguments or ideas that no one else understands them.
* Consider only the possible implications, rather than the realistic applications of my ideas.
* Refuse to deal with repetitious or mundane projects.
* Intimidate others with my independent and confident style.
