I would like to know if any other INTPs notice a considerably slower thinking process, albeit moderately more thorough?

I would like to know if any other INTPs notice a considerably slower thinking process, albeit moderately more thorough?
This is a question that i have been musing over myself for quite a while now. i think a suitable analogy can be found in simple physics. i cant find the perfect equation on the internet at the moment ( been searching for all of 2 minutes, perfect example of us "intps" loosing patience.) but basically put, it takes quite a while for something very heavy (our intellect) to gather momentum or speed. think of it as a massive locomotive, it takes a while to get moving but after a while it can develop massive pace.
i suppose the downside is that it takes a lot to stop a runaway train (keep that in mind!). if you havent noticed i am an intp border line intj aged 22 years living in sheffield, great britain.
i loved your little article [Alex's entire comments can be found HERE], very succinct and to the point, feel i could have written it myself. it touched me. with regards to my age i can safely claim that i have a little more experience in life than yourself without sounding condescending. as such i would like to give you a few pointers which i feel you may find helpful.
people need people, humanity are pack animals, individually you and i are wolves but even wolves need association from time to time or there would not be any wolves. in the adult world association has to be sought unlike at a school institution where people are seemingly forced on you. adulthood can be very lonely for us types.
learn social skills now even if it is through books, we love psychology so learn it in a cold book fashion if needs be but please do it and prepare.
2. the mind is not fully formed until mid 20's it is a sight to behold, you will be able to chew the fat for hours on end in a few years and all i can say is that it is great.
3. our type are naturally depressives and excessive solitude can/will make your depressive state greater until it is clinically expressed, when fully expressed depression fully locks the mind which aint good for the agile intp mind so try to avoid depression if you can; mind lock and cognitive dulling is our antitheses, read up on it.
please let me know when you have received this email. it would be great to correspond for a while if you like. hope you found this some help.
all the best
yours
