ISTP's V. INTP's reasoning skills

6847 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?

Yes. My answers to these questions are almost identical to Proteus. In considering the murder/robbery scenario, I noted my thinking going in loops. I visualized the crime scene details, played it out as a murder, noted the details again, played it out as a robbery gone bad. Then I ran out of details to work with, noted that I need more information and thought about how to get it. My default position is in the theory, and the details are there to support and revise it.
