Let´s say you follow one of these "12-week"-programs where you have to have a prototype done in 3 months.
First you will be hurrying to get a product out regardless the quality. Thus you will never get in depth and give up before you actually found anything worthwhile. Because you are outcome-dependent you will ask yourself why you "failed".
At the same time, while working on the project, you will be thinking about the future payoff all the time without looking at day-to-day operations and if the process is actually something you want to do. The same thing happens when you are doing 1-year goals etc.
Here, I´m suggesting how different people have different modes of operation.
A lot of people don´t believe in Myers Briggs personality indicator, but it´s fact that we perceive the world and organize things in different ways.
Let´s take the specific examples INTP and INTJ and look at how they can operate in a successful way.
INTP:
-spontaneous and flexible
-no specific goal
-creating systems
-needs to be happy doing it
-detail-oriented
-analytical and logical
So when INTPs start to get hurried and greedy(for example to make money), they will cut corners just to "make money". The product will be mediocre. This is because they will everything that has to be done in a "time box" with limited time to do things properly.
Instead they need to find a way to be happy in the present, and let the project develop organically, taking as much time as they need to create quality.
How does this look in day-to-day operations?
They will give themselves as much time as they need to dive into the project. They will do something that feels naturally fun for them, without specific project requirement. When they feel like they have to do something that doesn´t fit their talent, they will adjust the project to fit their talents.
Being organic makes them the happiest and that´s actually how they operate best and do best quality work. They are slow at first, but that´s okay.
Instead of making a lot of things fast, they thrive when solving a complex problem.
Examples of successful INTPs:
Markus "Notch" Persson
Albert Einstein
Leonardo Da Vinci
INTJ(didn´t read up too much about INTJs, so take with a grain of salt):
-fast decision
-one right way and path
INTJs have a clear vision already and are doing everything for the sake of the project. They execute fast because they can see the right pattern right away. They might not be as detail-oriented and flexible like INTPs, but they have one right way to focus on which makes them execute fast.
Examples of successful INTJs:
Elon Musk
Christopher Nolan
The problem with a lot of "courses" nowadays is, that they´re catered to Js and not Ps. There is really not one right way to do things. If you are a P following a Js plan, you will definitely fail.
Summary:
As an INTP, don´t primarily think about what result you want to have, but what process you enjoy and fits you best.
Project still in progress after 3 years? Doesn´t F*cking matter. Stay organic.
