INTP

I took a personality test and the results are:



INTP

Introverted 67%//Intuitive 38%//Thinking 62%//Perceiving 11%

(% is the strenght of those attributes)
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.

Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.
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. An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition. In this way INTPs are markedly different from INTJs, who are much more confident in their competence and willing to act on their convictions.

Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP's conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.

INTPs and Logic -- One of the tipoffs that a person is an INTP is his or her obsession with logical correctness. Errors are not often due to poor logic -- apparent faux pas in reasoning are usually a result of overlooking details or of incorrect context.
Famous INTPs:
Socrates
Rene Descartes
Sir Isaac Newton

Sick

title says it all. I am not feeling all that well at the moment. Just seems like a cold, but it's really draging me down.

My current situation

Well, i have been without my laptop for about a month now. First the CPU went out, sent it in to get it replaced, got it back about a week ago. Worked great! for about 4 hours, then crapped out on me again. This time, i have no clue whats wrong, could be the back light (doubtful) or the motherboard (most likely). I should be getting it back sometime this week or early next week. But for now, im on a chunky desktop thats not too new. *sigh* I guess it could be worse.

First

First blog! Not much to say in this one but i'm looking forward to writting some interesting blogs that may raise some questions in your own life on how you look at everyday activities. Stimulating the mind and the senses. More will be on the way shortly.
