A good friend of mine recently introduced me to MB personality tests, and although it's now apparent to me that the outcome is heavily influenced by the type/complexity/thoroughness/etc. of the questions, they are fun and interesting. The best part is reading all about your type at various websites after you take the test, searching what types of people make good relationship matches, and reading about the best career choices for your type.
I am an
INTP.

INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.
Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists
INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.
A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves.
That is exactly me. I hadn't read the INTP profile from that page before, and it's scary accurate.
