PERSONALIDAD

Hace algunos años, navegando sin rumbo en Internet, descubrí que tengo una personalidad de tipo "rational". Al principio pensé que era una pavada. Pero luego de repetir dos veces el test que incluía más de 100 preguntas múltiple choice, algunas evidentemente contradictorias, y otras con opciones muy parecidas entre sí, siempre llegando al mismo resultado, decidí que algo de cierto debía de haber(?).

Fué un pequeño "trick" enterarme. Durante años supe que mi personalidad no era muy común por mi forma de ver el mundo... No logro dejar de sentir que formar parte de una minoría de la población mundial que fué y es responsable de la mayoría de los cambios e innovaciones producidos (para bien o para mal), me hace sentir un poco de orgullo... No sé por qué. No creo haber aportado cambios significativos... pero no pierdo la esperanza ;-)

Me disculparán la falta de traducción de lo que sigue :-)

THE RATIONALS

There are four groups of temperaments, they are: Artisans, Idealists, Rationals, and Guardians. The estimated distribution of temperaments of US general population are 40-45% Guardian, 35-40% Artisan, 5-10% Idealist, 5-10% Rational. The web statistics, are global statistics not restricted to the US, and are not surprising because Idealists and Guardians generally are more interested seeking out and taking the questionnaires. The Artisans are typically not as interested in temperament theory, as the rest of the temperaments are. The Idealists are the most enthusiastic of the temperaments about temperament theory.

All Rationals (NTs) share the following core characteristics:

• Rationals tend to be pragmatic, skeptical, self-contained, and focused on problem-solving and systems analysis.
• Rationals pride themselves on being ingenious, independent, and strong willed.
• Rationals make reasonable mates, individualizing parents, and strategic leaders.
• Rationals are even-tempered, they trust logic, yearn for achievement, seek knowledge, prize technology, and dream of understanding how the world works.
• Rationals are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.
• Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 5 to 7 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.

The four types of Rationals are:

• Architects (INTP)
• Fieldmarshals (ENTJ)
• Inventors (ENTP)
• Masterminds (INTJ)

El tipo INTP

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is the structural engineering role -- architechtonics -- that reaches the highest development in INTPs, and it is for this reason they are aptly called the "architects."

Their major interest is in figuring out structure, build, configuration -- the spatiality of things. As the engineering capabilities of the INTPs increase so does their desire to let others know about whatever has come of their engineering efforts.

So they tend to take up an informative role in their social exchanges. On the other hand they have less and less desire, if they ever had any, to direct the activities of others. Only when forced to by circumstance do they allow themselves to take charge of activities, and they exit the role as soon as they can without injuring the enterprise.

The INTPs' distant goal is always to rearrange the environment somehow, to shape, to construct, to devise, whether it be buildings, institutions, enterprises, or theories.

They look upon the world -- natural and civil -- as little more than raw material to be reshaped according to their design, as a formless stone for their hammer and chisel.

Ayn Rand, master of the Rational character, describes this characteristic in the architect Howard Roark, her protagonist in The Fountainhead:

"He was looking at the granite. He did not laugh as his eyes stopped in awareness of the earth around him."

"His face was like a law of nature-a thing one could not question, alter or implore. It had high cheekbones over gaunt, hollow cheeks; gray eyes, cold and steady; a contemptuous mouth, shut tight, the mouth of an executioner or a saint."

"He looked at the granite. To be cut, he thought, and made into walls. He looked at a tree. To be split and made into rafters."

"He looked at a streak of rust on the stone and thought of iron ore under the ground. To be melted and to emerge as girders against the sky."

"These rocks, he thought, are here for me; waiting for the drill, the dynamite and my voice; waiting to be split, ripped, pounded, reborn, waiting for the shape my hands will give to them." [The Fountainhead, pp 15-16]

Many regard this attitude as arrogant, and INTPs are likely, especially in their later years, after finding out that most others are faking an understanding of the laws of nature, to think of themselves as the prime movers who must pit themselves against nature and society in an endless struggle to define ends clearly and adopt whatever means that promise success.

If this is arrogance, then at least it is not vanity, and without question it has driven the design engineers to take the lead in molding the structure of civilization.
