I was an INTP in high school, and somewhere down the line became an INTJ.

Interesting. I've switched the other way. Although I don't think I actually changed at all. I used to think I was pretty organized, but I've come to realize I'm not and I'm more P than J.

Type-3 iNTj (44-50-50-22)

I used to be an INTP (i think) in high school, but since then I've become a highly social, highly popular but really-geeky geek; which gave me the above score.

Here's a trick: do the test twice, about 10-15 minutes apart.

When I did, the strength percentages changed, but the actual type was constant. Interesting.

I think mine would change based on how I was feeling that day - does that make me bi polar?

I'm ENTJ - just like Madonna and Whoopi Goldberg!

I'm INTJ which is a Mastermind. Sounds exactly like me.

for all you INTPs out there, have a look at this:

I was floored when I found that link. Describes me to a T.

Wow, pretty amazing. I test myself every year or two, and other than flipping from ENTP to INTP several years ago, it's been INTP ever since. I'm surprised just how many INTPs there are on here considering the supposedly low prevalence.

FWIW, my wife is ESFJ, the polar opposite. It actually works out rather well. It's worth seeing what your SO is too, I wonder if that's a pattern.
