ISTP's V. INTP's reasoning skills

6849 Views 13 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Functianalyst
I had a question for fellow INTP's and ISTP's out there:

Would you say that ISTP's Ti function works in accordance with an inductive reasoning level:starting from the facts in front of you and gathering up all the information to come up with a general theory?

And vice versa, would you say that INTP's Ti function works in accordance with a deductive reasoning level: Starting from a general theory and working down to the details?

Would this be an accurate assumption?

They both dominate using the same funciton, so how they make decisions will be identical. Ne and Se are both used to take in information. The only difference is one will look at the information literally (a primrose at the slopey side of a river bed is merely a primrose) and not look for threads of meaning or inferences (ISTP). The other will do the same thing, but have the propensity to look for threads of meaning and inferences.
