So on Facebook I took a Meyers-Briggs Personality test. This isn't the first time - I took one when I was married. However, I was unhappy then, and I figured my more recent cheerful outlook would yield different results than INTP.
Result: INTP.
You seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests you. You are theoretical and abstract, and are interested more in ideas than in social interaction. You are quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. You have an unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in your area of interest. You are skeptical, sometimes critical, and always analytical.
Okay, I guess that's me in a nutshell. I was hoping I'd be a little more extroverted by now! Here, though, is the creepy part.
The Olsen Twins? Oh hell, I'm dooooooooomed!

very expressed judging personality
To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.
