I introverted think. Therefore, I am.
We've all seen the internet meme about Einsteins desk on the day of his death, right?
It does bare a striking resemblance to my desk on any given day. Right now I have around 11 piles of papers, magazines and books surrounding me. Including some stuff that has been there for several months and some piles of things I am in the middle of doing. There is also a broken USB hoover, a packed lunch box from lunch time I haven't cleared, a load of note paper and very bedraggled looking A2 desk pad under my keyboard that has numerous tea, coffee and beetroot stains (and some I am yet to identify). I appear to still have my Highway code book I used to pass my driving test over a year ago and (for reasons I have yet to ascertain) a large box containing 8 packs of cornflakes someone left there for me last month. My ISTJ boss is frequently urked by it. "Messy desk, messy mind!" he will say. I try, but I just can't work without all my piles of various crap. I know what it all is.
My house is the same. Anywhere there could be a pile of unsorted junk, there probably is. It horrifies any S type that comes into my home. It's messy, but pretty much clean though. I just don't consider the box of parts for a Raspberry Pie robot I'm about build unhygienic so don't need to remove them from the kitchen side until I build it. And I will get round to sorting the left over computer parts from the PC I built in April; I might need them again though because people always ask me to build PC's for them (I'm on the forth one this year).
Is this really a common thing among INTP's? It just plain doesn't bother me. It bothers me when it's away and I can't find it when I need it.
