Being an INTP can be difficult at times. Our characteristics, if not properly understood and embraced, can lead to struggles in our lives, especially for women that are INTPs. However, there are ways to get the best of being a Female INTP.

In this article, we will discuss the characteristics of INTP females and the struggles they face. We will also provide tips on how to thrive as an INTP woman.

INTP Female Characteristics

Though often misunderstood, INTP Females are a unique, rare breed with many fascinating characteristics. She is intelligent and insightful, with a knack for seeing beyond the surface. She is creative and analytical and is able to come up with innovative solutions to problems. She is independent and fiercely independent, she hates feeling like she is being controlled or told what to do. She is a thinker, and loves exploring new ideas and theories— she’s a package.

The INTP female is also a bit of a paradox:

  • She may be shy and introverted, yet she’ll also be fiercely independent.
  • She loves spending time alone, but she also craves intellectual stimulation and conversation.
  • She is private and guarded, yet she also has a strong need for authenticity and honesty in her relationships.

What’s funny about INTP women is that they’re unintentionally messy and have little to no interest in their appearance. This doesn’t mean that they’ll look dirty or untidy but believe me fashion is not their priority. They would much rather be lost in thought or spend time with close friends than go shopping for the latest trends.
