INTP (5w4)
William Gibson personality type is INTP, as I’ve written about before. In fact, as a case study, I offer the following, from a work he wrote for Pattern Recognition:
The INTP sees things as systems. The INTP has a very deep fascination with the mechanism of the world, and wants to understand how it works at a very specific level. INTPs can be very technical, and they’re excellent at explaining things to others. The other types will often be totally confused by this, but INTPs love it because they love to explain things.
I’m going to say that again: the other types will often be totally confused by this, but INTPs love it because they love to explain things.
In their own heads, INTPs have one of the most precise and well-developed logical systems imaginable. It’s not uncommon for an INTP to have a detailed explanation for how “the world works” that’s a complete system unto itself.
INTPs are also brilliant problem solvers, and will usually have a lot of interesting things to say about the way the world works under their own unique principles.
William Ford Gibson (born March 17, 1948) is an American-Canadian speculative fiction writer and essayist widely credited with pioneering the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk. Beginning his writing career in the late 1970s, his early works were noir, near-future stories that explored the effects of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on humans—a "combination of lowlife and high tech"—and helped to create an iconography for the information age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s. Gibson notably coined the term "cyberspace" for "widespread, interconnected digital technology" in his short story "Burning Chrome" (1982), and later popularized the concept in his acclaimed debut novel Neuromancer (1984). These early works of Gibson's have been credited with "renovating" science fiction literature in the 1980s.
