Is the person who wrote this an INTP?

"As we go on our way in life, we start working on projects and trying to finish a higher education. But what do we do when we start procrastinating, even over little things like going to bed in time and so on. The answer is noting, when you start procrastinating a lot it means that something in your life is wrong. Maybe you will wander, what could be wrong in my life that makes me procrastinate?
To start with understanding this problem we must first off all understand the personality types, for this let’s take a look at Myers Briggs personalities. There are 16 personality types, there no research that reached the conclusion that any of the personality could be predisposed to procrastinating it seems that is something that all deal with, but how they deal with depends on their personality. So let’s take my for example, I’m an INTP (Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Intuition) type, also called The Thinker. Basically because he thinks too much, but don’t think that he thinks of interesting staff, no they think of stupid staff that most people don’t give a dam about it. This type had some big thinkers in the past that changed the world, like Albert Einstein or Socrates and some that still exist and will exist that have and can have wonderful accomplishments. The problem is once they figure out the solution they don’t feel the need to share it with others.
In my case of stooping procrastinating it’s well understood that I will overthink it and can have two outgoing conclusion, one I will say it’s not important anymore to do this project until deadline, the second one when I finish comparing why should or not do it, I will conclude that it’s important and need to do it, now comes another part when you think how should it look, to be grate project or not, how much time I need for research and so on. The thing is that I start working on it, sometimes a do a good job, other times I get bored and do lazy one, but not without thinking on what I want to obtain from it, in this case the grade for the project. So this is how I usually do this kind of thing. So for me to do something without procrastinating it’s important to be interesting, to know what I need it for, to see the consequents of not doing it, and the ones of having it done. Based on the logical thinking of an INTP is something simple see what will happen so in the maximum of 2-3 minutes I will know if I will do it when I will start and why I will do it, so is basically simple it’s not rock science.
The next question should be how do you do something like project, that you don’t like it isn’t interesting and has no direct importance but you may need it because you need to obtain something that could get you interest level up in obtaining something of a vital importance in your life. So what will you do? First off all you will prepare for it, but after this when is time to start you will also start to hugely procrastinate, so maybe here are some problems in fist I will try to motivate myself, but this doesn’t work to well on INTP’s, because you will end up contradicting yourself. It really is something to think about. If you write an essay you can start from the main idea that you don’t like and end up over an idea that has nothing to do with the project and you like but as an INTP it will be easy to make some collisions of the two ideas. Mostly this works very well.
I will give an example of procrastinating from my life that I recently encounter, and the theories that I have shared until now don’t applies. Learning legislation for obtaining the driver license. I must say I don’t give a dam for the legislation because those test are very poorly done and sometimes they even contradict. So I think to myself witch is the best way to approach by reading the book, taking lessons, exercising and so on. So I’ve tried a little bit of everything and ended up making all the test from the drpciv site, even if it took longer than actually reading the book or taking the lessons. But the think is I’ve done them every time I had to something that I dislike like going to the courses from my faculty, while I was on the road and so on.
This is a large subject, many can be said, but at the and it consists on how much you want that thing, and if you can’t find a way for yourself to do something without procrastinating it’s your problem and I believe is a waste of time thinking about thinks like this, most people that “have problems” should just find a way to resolve them, not wasting time searching for help, Here is where I believe INTP’s of being superior of the other types because they rationalize everything and trying to explain everything, finding patterns and so on, concluding that they don’t waste time as I mention earlier. There are as well some other types that rationalize like INTJ, ENTJ, ENTP, but INTP’s are not robots and they don’t rely on others extraverted ones. Let’s think on how it would’ve been if Einstein was an ESFJ. But on the other hand the a lot of people that thinks their INTP’s but actually go and say things like why can I don’t do small talk, the answer is simple you are introverted and you don’t like small talk, why do they ask that question in the first place? So the think is that is a relation about what I’ve said upper in this paragraphs and now, the relations is about the way of thinking. Let’s say it was true that they are really INTP’s, there is no difference on this with the this way of thinking “-most people that “have problems” should just find a way to resolve them, not wasting time searching for help, Here is where I believe INTP’s of being superior of the other types because they rationalize everything and trying to explain everything, finding patterns and so on, concluding that they don’t waste time-”. So the conclusion might be that they are not superior? But still they are because I think the world couldn’t function without their way of thinking.
There is a lot mixt data in this world so how about understanding it, I believe to be nearly impossible so why stop procrastinating if you’re already doing it? To be clear it’s not impossible to understand, it’s impossible to understand all data that is available in the world, you just need to choose what you want to know, if you can’t do that why live at all? So that you cold procrastinate and ask questions like how to stop procrastinating (how I saw on many forums in my research), my answer is if they just can’t find the way, why help them understand their own bodies and brain? The answer is that everybody needs guidance in some point of their life, but just don’t overdo it. Accept the information given to you and make the best of it."

I can only guess what was s/he supposed to be doing when s/he wrote this.
Whether s/he is an INTP: could be, but I somewhat expect INTPs to be better at ortography. Also, the train keeps changing rails and puffing itself up, so I think s/he might be an ENTP (not that I think there aren't any self-aggrandizing INTPs).

Still, I would like to argue with this person.

Why wold you like to argue with person?


Because I like to argue, to poke holes in arguments and logical structures, to set and find new definitions. This person seems to prefer rational thought and looks like could be an opponent. People that can and know hot to argue/debate are somewhat rare.

He is either not an intp, or has English as a second language, though I doubt that.

"Rock science" = a Good laugh.

Question: Where did you get this extract? Is it from a person you know, did you find it online, or wrote it yourself?

EDIT: After reviewing your previous posts, I would say this is your writing.
So thus I have additional questions:
1. Is English your mother tounge?
IF SO:
2. Are you sure you are an intp?

Excuse the rock science reference, but I do find it funny.

Well done then. May I ask as to your mother tongue?
It seem to me that you wish to know with certainty whether you are an intp.
My suggestion is to find someone on the forum who shares your primary language.
This may ease your search for truth.

I believe that i am (97%), i didn't find anything to prove me wrong. And also i didn't found any possible intp's that i know, so for now i stick with my awful English.

Perhaps if you start a thread calling for someone who speaks the same language as you, the forum may hold more value.
