MBTI

I've previously mentioned a personality typing system thing
before called the 'Four Temperaments', which I've been fond of
for years.
The main 'competitor' to this concept was the 'Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator', or whatever it's called, which it seems that every
intellectual teenager worth their salt knows about.
I've been reading about it recently, finding out my type and all
that, and it's been quite interesting!
It turns out that my type is most likely INTJ... which happens
to be the second rarest type.
The descriptions of this type fits nicely for me: I'm the
Systems-Builder who prefers drawing connections between abstract
principles to getting his hands dirty sifting through messy
reality, who can't remember things, often doesn't even notice
them, until he understands a theory about what they are and how
they work, but is able to understand them in depth once he has
some intellectual handles with which to grasp them. And who,
once he understands how they work, looks for ways to make them
work better. This is hardwired into my mind at a very deep level
- I can't really imagine how I would go about changing it, or
what it would be like to approach the world in any other way.
I'm curious about whether anyone else knows their Myers-Briggs
type thing! I imagine that at least some of you will. There are
loads of websites that describe them individually in some
detail, for example: [LINK]

One of the links doesn't work...
I took the test and the result was "INTP" the thinker or
something, i was not sure(it could be though), and took the test
again(i wasn't sure of some questions, so i tried to understand
them and took it more seriously). I was hopping to fall into
INTP again, but it turned into ISTX. Er...it sounds stupid
enough, but there wasn't any ISTX in that list you give. The X
would be one of the other letters(P or J)? Well, i'm sure that
i'm neither, so i'll stick with the INTP.

Fixed it.
However I don't think that personality things like this should
be judged on their tests, because those tests - especially brief
ones with only 'yes' or 'no' questions - can easily give
inaccurate results, especially when people are uncertain about
which answers to give, which is usually the case... It doesn't
mean that the person's type isn't certain; it's just that
they're using a really flimsy way of finding it.
It's much more useful to read about them in detail and then
decide on the one which is the better fit, to understand them on
a deep level rather than relying on a test.
