Who am I?

[jennythereader]

I did one of those online Myers-Briggs style tests today, and got the same results that I've been getting ever since I was 13: Very strongly Introverted, strongly Thinking, and less strongly iNtuitive and Perceiving.

The results page on this test had a link to this profile of an INTP.

It seem like a fairly accurate description of my thought process and mindset, especially this part

"INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP's conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary."

What I'd like to know is, does this profile do an accurate job of describing the way I actually behave?

Edited at 5pm, so that it would make sense to somebody who isn't me.

I haven't encountered you enough f2f to say, but certainly nothing about what I have seen from our brief contact at Arisia or from your journal would contradict it. You don't write (at least on filters I am on :) to the same sort of volume my known INTP women friends do (lately I seem to be collecting female INTP friends!)

The LJ comm for INTPs is jmbt_intp. Not sure how active it is at the moment.

Thank you for telling me about the comm. I'll check it out.
