Cookies explores the intriguing intersection of personality types and horological preferences, specifically focusing on the INTP, or 'Yoda Personality.' This article delves into whether highly analytical and introspective individuals, often associated with profound intellectual pursuits, approach watch collecting differently. Cookies prompts the community to consider if such personalities prioritize function and reliability over the elaborate aesthetics and diverse collections often cherished by watch enthusiasts.
The individuals you are talking about here are of a superior intellect and far from being “more than normal” interested in only one single subject - like wristwatches. (A subject we have to admit is totally irrelevant in a broader perspective - but still fascinating). We are a strange kind of people, I remember when Time Zone was the only “real” watch community of which I had the pleasure of being one of the early members, the founder Richard Page (watchmaker by profession) launched the term WIS
I suspected u are one when I first came across your posts. So it is true. Do you predict watchmakers like George Daniels and FP Journe belong to this group too? I believe they are. I can spot an INTP from a mile away, because they stand out by being silent but when they speak, they roar.
