According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), INTPs (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving) constitute only 3% of the population. Of that 3%, only about 10-15% are female. This means that only around 0.3-0.45% of the total population are female INTPs.

Understanding INTPs

INTPs are highly independent and logical thinkers who strive to understand the world around them. They are analytical and excel at problem-solving. They are highly creative and often come up with new and innovative ideas. INTPs are usually introverted and prefer to spend time in their own thoughts and ideas rather than engaging in social interaction.

Female INTPs

Female INTPs are often seen as the “lost women” of the MBTI. They are often misunderstood and undervalued, due to their introverted nature and lack of social skills. They are often seen as too “weird” or “odd” and can have difficulty fitting in with others.

Female INTPs are often highly intelligent and creative, but they can also be highly independent and strong-willed. They will often go to great lengths to make sure that their ideas and plans come to fruition. They can be fiercely independent and will often refuse to conform to what other people expect of them.

Conclusion

Female INTPs make up a very small portion of the population and can often be misunderstood and undervalued. They are often highly intelligent and creative, and can be fiercely independent and strong-willed. Female INTPs can have difficulty fitting in with others and may feel lost in the world. Understanding and appreciating their unique personalities and traits is key to helping them achieve their full potential.

The percentage of female INTPs (Introverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving) is estimated to be around 10-15 percent of the population, according to some sources. This is lower than the overall female population, which is around 50 percent. The INTP personality type is highly independent and analytical, which may explain the lower percentage of female INTPs. Additionally, the male-dominated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are often populated by INTPs, which may also account for the lower percentage of female INTPs.

The overall population of INTPs is estimated to be around three to five percent of the general population, and within this group, about 25% are female. This means that female INTPs make up about 1-2% of the general population. Given the rarity of this personality type, it is not surprising that female INTPs are even rarer than male INTPs. However, it is important to note that this does not make female INTPs any less capable or valuable than their male counterparts.

Approximately 25-35% of the INTP population is female. This figure can vary depending on the sample size and the geographical location, but it is generally accepted that the INTP population is more male-dominated than other personality types.
