I am constantly studying and analyzing something - abstract concepts (mbti, for example) or my plans for the future. I always find some kind of discrepancy, and until I figure it out and get a result that is completely satisfying and understandable to me, I will not back down. I get so carried away that I don't care about the physical environment anymore - I forget to drink, eat, communicate with people, I become obsessed with only one idea.

I do this quite often and it's probably a loop. I read that this may be a feature of intp or istp. Or maybe smth else. What do u think? Thank you

For 4 details

1. Focus on abstract concepts. Even if contrary to some people believes abstract concepts aren't outside of ISTPs scope or capabilities, if your interest is solely in abstract concepts it's still atypical and something that points first to other types.

2. Plans for the future. Same as point 1, while an ISTP planning for the future isn't something strange we tend to be more short term oriented.

3. Focus on discrepancy. Focusing on a discrepancy with the internal understanding of a system until it's reconcilied with such understanding points to Ti, which is entirely ISTP domain, but shared with another type that fits the other 3 points better, INTP.

4. Detachment from surroundings. That's the most atypical thing for an ISTP of this 4 points and way more typical for INTP, it's contrarian to our high Se while fits their blind Se. While getting carried away with an interest to the point of forgetting physical needs and absolutely not caring about people or anything else than our focus of interest is not strange, being oblivious to the environment isn't.

So putting it all together your description has a stronger correlation with the other Ti dom, INTP.

sounds like e7 or e5 tbh

e7 are idealistic planners, they will continue search for better and better. this can be intellectual ideas too since they are really intelligent (no glaze, it's just truth 😋), often using it to rational and persuade their ass out. e5 are also seeking more, but it is to separate oneself from others and their own emotions, viewing things in a logical way, trying to stay in the sidelines...

this is definitely Ti dom and Intuitive tho but i don't know what you mean by 'plans'. one plan or many, how strict is it? it could be Ti-Ne or Ti-Ni.

remember to take care of yourself ^^
