INTP is not a team-oriented type, therefore, when a team is itself INTP, it is not unusual for the team to struggle, be misunderstood or underestimated.  Individually, INTPs tend to view the process of getting others involved as tedious at best and a waste of time at worst.  In general, INTPs, skeptical of group entanglements and the control group life imposes, would rather go it alone than become bogged down in group processes.  

In light of this, INTP teams tend to be reflective, contemplative and thoughtful.  The team's perception of the world is conceptual, abstract and random—full of possibilities, which is used as the basis for objective, impersonal decisions that weigh carefully the cause and effect.  All of this is translated into and expressed by a flexible, adaptable, easy-going approach to work and task completion.  The INTP team's iNtuitive-Perceiving nature frequently leads them astray in the pursuit of new adventure, which can interfere with the needs of individual members for time to be alone and think.  INTP teams can find it hard to stay removed and reflective when the outer world—where team life happens--is so full of ideas and possibilities.  Sometimes these ideas get lost because INTP teams can rework them continually, and individuals frequently forget or neglect in the face of the INTP team type to share their latest thinking.
