Testy

I mentioned "INTP" in a previous post ... which is my personality type... based on a slew of personality tests I've taken. INTP = Introvert Intuitive Thinker Perceiver (which means nothing to you unless you read the description).

BUT - I'm super interested in what YOU are (letter-wise) so I can look up our compatibility.

Take the test and let me know:

Good quotes about INTP's:

"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. "

"INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. " (What Taysha calls "Tokey")

"A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. The open-endedness (from Perceiving) conjoined with the need for competence (NT) is expressed in a sense that one's conclusion may well be met by an equally plausible alternative solution, and that, after all, one may very well have overlooked some critical bit of data." (Which is why I sometimes have a hellish time shopping.)

"The INTP is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people." (The damn Social Anxiety Disorder study people do NOT call me back... it is apparently not my fate to do this study!)

"For this reason, INTPs are usually not in-tune with how people are feeling, and are not naturally well-equiped to meet the emotional needs of others. " (Also known as Erin's ability to 'not think before she speaks' and to "not be a shoulder to cry on.")

"If the INTP has not developed their Sensing side sufficiently, they may become unaware of their environment, and exhibit weakness in performing maintenance-type tasks, such as bill-paying and dressing appropriately. " (SHUT UP!! Bitches!)

"When given an environment which supports his creative genius and possible eccentricity, the INTP can accomplish truly remarkable things." ;)

Plus I think INTP's have big hair.... Einstein was an INTP.
