for all you INTPs out there, have a look at this: http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html I was floored when I found that link. Describes me to a T.
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'm ENTJ - just like Madonna and Whoopi Goldberg!
Don't hold it against me :)
Most of my friends are INTJ/INTP, we sent this around in some emails a few months ago.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In theory these are default states - if external factors are removed, what would you revert to? I default to INTP but can ramp up the E as needed (and these days I need it more an more). I can mess with the other values too, but I/E is the easiest for me to play with.
I/E isn't as much about whether you are "outgoing" or "gregarious", etc. It's really more about whether you: * Process things internally/externally * Get energy from being with people or find being with people "draining" I'm also an I who has learned socially acceptable things like public speaking, participating in group discussions, etc. but a couple of hours in such a group and I'm exhausted while my E wife is ener…
On the other hand, I have a friend who is an Extrovert, but at the same time he is considerably shy. He craves interaction and is really cool with people that he knows, but it seems that he blocks whenever there is someone new in the room, or in a situation where people might judge him.
Wow. 30 points for INTP, 13 for INTJ while I'm writing this. The timing for this poll couldn't be better. Just yesterday I was wondering about three things: - How much of an INTP Paul Graham shows to be through his writing and his attitudes in regards to the development of Hacker News (both the software and the community). - How much of the "initial" community would be INTP. It seems to me that many people came here…
I've seen these run through various hacker communities in the past and INTJ is definitely the classical hacker, with INTP not too far behind. When testing in high school I tended to test INTP, but I've drifted towards ENTP and now tend to test as a pretty strong extrovert.

I've taken probably 30 of these tests over the years, from all sorts of different places; I've always come out as an INTJ.
I wonder how much of an overlap there is between the INTPs and INTJs. For example, I always score INTP on these tests, and yet the INTJ profile describes me far, far better.
