Hashingiwe ku vyo bigenewe gukoreshwa, intsinga z’amashanyarazi zishobora gushirwa mu bwoko butandukanye, harimwo intsinga zo gutanga amakuru, intsinga zo kugenzura, intsinga zo guhanahana amakuru, intsinga z’ibikoresho, n’intsinga z’amaso. Hashingiwe ku buryo ziteye, zirashobora kandi guca mu mirongo yo hejuru n’iyo munsi y’ubutaka. Ikindi kandi, intsinga z’amashanyarazi zirashobora gushirwa mu migwi bishingiye ku bintu bitandukanye, nk’ibikoresho vyazo biyijana, ibikoresho biyipfuka, n’urugero rw’umuriro.
Intsinga z’amashanyarazi zikoreshwa mu ntumbero zitandukanye zifise ibiranga bitandukanye n’aho zikoreshwa. Nk’akarorero, intsinga zo gutanga amakuru zikoreshwa cane cane mu gutanga amakuru y’inguvu nyinshi-n’inguvu nyinshi-, cane cane ku rwego rw’inguvu nyinshi. Ariko rero, intsinga zo kugenzura zitanga ivyiza nk’uburinzi bw’umuyagankuba n’ugutanga amakuru mu buryo bwizigirwa, kandi zikoreshwa canecane mu buryo bwo kugenzura no kugenzura bukora. Igihe ukoresha intsinga z’amashanyarazi, birahambaye guhitamwo ubwoko bw’intsinga n’ibisobanuro bishingiye ku gukoresha kwayo.
