We've had a few threads on Jung-Myers-Briggs personality types before, could one of the Mods sticky this? It would be nice to keep a record for those who are interested in this.
The biggest recent poll on WP, which I just bumped, (! !) shows 34% INTJ , and an increasingly large number of INTP, 20%. But a grand total of 25% are IS types, so it's a quarter!! You're not alone, Maxx!
Come on, someone here besides me has got to be an extroverted NTP. Am I alone in the Internet? I've never shown up as extremely extroverted, but I've rarely shown up as an I.
INFP Makes sense. I always thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn't that interested in the maths unlike my parents and other relatives. I was told that because I didn't have the social skills, if I couldn't make it in maths and science, I would be a failure. This fits in perfectly with the description of an INFP,

My father's ENTP, and he uses the Internet.
He doesn't seem to have Asperger's Syndrome to me, but my mother thinks he does.
I acknowledge that he could, but it seems slight.

I'm INFJ, and as others have mentioned there was a recent poll on this here. There's a wide variety of results, although one interesting result is that the types represented are WAY out of whack with the population at large. Just as an example, INFJ is supposed to be the rarest type, and is like 1% or less of the population if I'm remembering right, but was 7% of the respondents on here.
Other types were similar-common on here, or at least much higher than in the general population.
I think J was the weakest for me the last time I scored it. I'm a weird combination of emotion and thought-when we took this at work a few years back my boss was surprised I think to see that I got an "F" rather than a "T"...but I'm a weird combination in that regard. Ultimately usually going with what I feel, even though I reason things through to a ridiculous extent.

I thought an S means you are more practical and enjoy organization/planning. N supposedly means you are more theoretical and enjoy thinking about things more than organization/planning.
Seems like everyone has a different interpretation of Meyer-Briggs though.

I seem to break tests designed to try to classify me. I assume it is because my brain is weird. Nevertheless, I took it and it told me I was INTJ. That is probably correct. The description didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
