		<description>Hah. Thank you Norbert, for bringing this to my attention. I did the test, the outcome was this (which, circabout sounds right):

Introverted (I) 86.21% Extroverted (E) 13.79%
Intuitive (N) 58.97% Sensing (S) 41.03%
Thinking (T) 73.53% Feeling (F) 26.47%
Perceiving (P) 54.76% Judging (J) 45.24%

Your type is: INTP

But this here is .. well you put it well yourself; I&#039;ll avoid calling it scary, but it&#039;s very interesting:

INTP - &quot;Architect&quot;. Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.</description>

		<description>By the way, this is also good: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP.html (it&#039;s where I got that first description of the post.)</description>

		<description>This one also seems pretty accurate, from http://www.personalitypathways.com/dom-ne.html

&lt;blockquote&gt;Words, ideas and possibilities spew effortlessly from them. Words are their best friends. They dance around ideas, the more, the merrier. Imaginative, spontaneous, original and enthusiastic, they have a knack for seeing other possibilities, other dreams and options. The world is never as it is but as it could be, as if it were but an artists sketch begging for colour. They initiate change and often are prone to trespassing a few known boundaries to take themselves and others where no one has been before. The status quo tends to lack inspiration.
-
When inspired, they are fearless and tireless. Their energy will know no limits unless red tape takes over. Routine drags them down. Their faith in possibilities and belief in the benefit of change often inspire others to follow. They are challenging, ingenious and innovative. They will give their best to what appears to be an impossible challenge, a place unknown to man or beast.
-
They use metaphors, stories, images and analogies to make their point.They love theories and often shape their own. They see patterns emerging. Keen improvisers, they are rarely caught off guard, there is always something up their sleeve. The sky is the only limit.
-
They are sometimes entertainers, artists or otherwise engaged in public demonstrations that allow their ideas to bloom. Their greatest difficulty is not in initiating projects but in choosing among so many possibilities, setting realistic boundaries, establishing priorities and correctly assessing resources.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
This one seems like the most accurate description yet. In fact, if you had to read one thing before you met me in real life, I&#039;d say read this.</description>

		<description>A second taking of the test puts me as an &quot;ENTP&quot;. 
-
Extroverted (E) 60.53% Introverted (I) 39.47%
Intuitive (N) 60.53% Sensing (S) 39.47%
Thinking (T) 55.56% Feeling (F) 44.44%
Perceiving (P) 54.55% Judging (J) 45.45%
- 
As you can see, I&#039;m a toss-up between the T vs. F and P vs. J, though mostly between T and F.
-
Here&#039;s the synopsis of the ENTP:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;Clever&quot; is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.
-
ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil&#039;s advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don&#039;t understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.
-
ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at &quot;sharp practice&quot;--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it&#039;s expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of &quot;toys&quot;--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.
-
ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determination.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.
-
In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who&#039;ve only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
Maybe I should take the bits and pieces of this and make my own, what describes me.</description>
