To all those who share the personality traits of this "friend" of the blogger, how many of you believe your coding speed is slower than other hackers? From coding speed, I mean, say amount of time to finish a well defined programming project. Or to come up with an algorithm to solve a well defined problem and correctly implement it.

I obviously share many of these traits, and I know for a fact that I was slower than many of my peers in school, and later at work. I just had to spend more time doing the same amount of work. In the end though, I was able to produce similar results, albeit with more effort on my part.

I have to say the oposite. I am much faster, but just getting started, is the hardest part. There is always something else to do, procrastination is more fun that work.

What is needed is someone to give permission to ignore all the other details and just get one item done. The INTP is a commando problem solver killer... he just needs someone to "cover" for him so he can go in and tackle an objective.
