INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.i love my job(s) i weld custom bicycle frames together to the best of my ability for deserving discerning individuals.all my top friends below have at least one of my bikes. you can ask them what they think of me and my work. it has been brought to my attention that there are probably at least ten thousand ways to hurt myself in my shop but i feel it is the safest place on earth for me.
