Conflict

Some people seek harmony, some see conflict as simply robust discussions, some people are emotional, some more factual.

Initial response to conflict situations

Michel Houellebecq Rational argument, logic and intellectual theory are the routes to the ‘heart’ of the INTP who will have no problem taking the hard decision, as long as it is the 'right' decision, one based on logic and evidence.
