Apparently I'm no longer an INTP. I've now matured into a proper INFP. Feelings are cool.

90% of the times that I have seen the results of this test it has been INTP. For some reason engineer/math majors consider it a badge of honor.

BTW Myers Briggs tests are hilariously broken and the only metric worth any thought in how you interact with the world is the introversion-extroversion scale. Everything else has been known to be bunk for years.

I scored in the 99th percentile for introversion when our high school made us take a Real myers-briggs test :cool:

I remember discovering the INTP forums when I was a kid and thinking to myself "WHAT PART OF THE "I" DONT YOU ALL GET. WHY WOULD I CONSCIOUSLY BE SOCIAL WITH PEOPLE WHO EXPEND ENERGY IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS. WHY WOULD I DO THAT TO YOU ALL."

The only thing that really bugs me about the MB test is how many people wave the flag of being introverted, explicitly othering extraverts as being less trvekvlt nerds.

Being social with other people, especially nerds, basically saved my life. I always make the worst decisions and get the most brutally depressed when I'm alone.

start reading to them the results you want in their sleep

the I > E. most people think Hitler would have fit into INTJ, actually, but I think he was likely extroverted enough considering he was able to bark down his advisors into letting him orchestrate his own demise, and he was an excellent orator.

A lot of people who are great orators are I. For example, one B. Hussein Obama.

I pushed the sliders to the extremes when answering and go INFJ. It's like these things are not entirely determinative.

I'm also sarcastic. But I'm not a nuclear physicist. I'm synthetic chemist, I've just dabbled in some other fields as a necessity. I have cultured cancer in flasks and directed xray beams from a synchrotron, as the most different things I've done.
