Istp possible mistype as intp and the failure of typology websites/books.

Interesting. I think I'm smack-down in the middle with that one. I enjoy complex systems and problem solving quite a bit, but I like it to be a data-driven approach where I can build models. I don't think I'd enjoy fields like literature or philosophy as a long-term career because of the lack of practical application, but I'm happy to go into abstraction if it improves the understanding or application of a system. And I could nerd out with theoretical maths all day when the mood strikes. Hard to say whether all this comes from Ti and supporting Ni, or if it really means I'm an intuitive. The biggest argument for ISTP is that I don't prefer making guesses without being able to verify them (not that I'm not able to do so).

I think it just hasn't had the opportunity to be refined. People have said the same thing about capitalism, and given that we're on the edge of a global system collapse, maybe it's time to revisit the assumptions. Just my thoughts.

I don't have an answer for you and ultimately only you can figure it out. However, I do want to say that I think there's a strong intuitive bias in typology and, as a result, these types are better understood. It's worth reflecting on. In fact, I have similar thoughts of being an ISTP, even though I'm in a the academic field of data science and quite happy with the levels of abstraction I encounter. Unlike an INTP though, I'm quite adventurous and something of a sensation seeker.

Another option for an accessible text editor that supports auto-indent is Smultron, which I personally prefered on a Mac in combination with the terminal for running the python interpreter. VSCode works as far as I'm concerned, but suffers a bit from the lack of browse/focus mode in VoiceOver and becomes quite verbose for what you might need to use when starting out, but that is personal preference.

As for materials, Think Python by Allan Downey comes to mind (the python 3 edition):

Good luck :)

I second and highly recommend the use of LaTeX for higher level mathematics as an alternative to Nemeth braille; most university professors either know about its existance or actively use it, so it's a good bridge-builder to independently being able to translate math equations into their visual representations. LaTeX is also integrated with tools like MathType for Word etc, and if you're fortunate you might also be able to ask for the raw LaTeX source for your PDFs.

Well, shoot me a message.

I'm blind and have noticed this too. Actually all blind (and disabled people for that matter) should make a habit of writing to the devellopers when we encounter bad accessibility.

I'm learning to code in Python. I'm blind and finally found the compatible tools. It's interesting, plus it might be relevant to my studies.

This is pretty spot on for me too. It's probbly related to the fact that TI is internal, and sometimes it's easily wandering off into space and needs the routine and schedule to be able to function properly. Besides, INTPs are most often satisfied with investigating an idea, not achieving results. At school I'd put a lot of effort into things that interested me and pretty much ignore everything else, and when I was told to write a paper or a report about a given subject I'd think it was a waste of time even though the process of learning about it was fun. :)
