Can INTPs be doctors?
An individual INTP could certainly be a good physician, and that would probably be a better career for an INTP than being a nurse or a surgeon (scalpel jockey). But it’s not like being an INTP would magically give you super doctor powers, of course. But I do think it would be a good fit for some INTPs.

Do INTPs make good doctors?
INTPs may lack the empathy and human aspects of medicine, however that does not make them bad physicians. Many INTPs I have come across are surgeons or radiologists. They have an almost superhuman memory and attention to detail. They are intellectual sponges. Great surgeons do not need to have empathy.
What is the difference between INTP-T/INTP-a and INTP in MBTI?
INTP-T or Turbulent Logicians are less likely to be satisfied with themselves as compared to INTP-As. INTP-Ts are not as good at handling stress as compared to their Assertive counterparts. The Turbulent/ Assertive is the fifth dimension of MBTI and it has to do with the Big Five Personality Trait of Neuroticism.
What are the two types of INTPs?

Although the INTP personality type already has distinctive features, there are differences in the attributes of the two subtypes in different settings.
Are INTPs self-disciplined?
INTPs are extremely self-disciplined on the inside, working hard to successfully control their emotions and lives. INTPs are compelled to view certain things as an objective or goal due to their Ti’s control.
