Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP) |
 Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant. Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men |
Yep. I’ve taken this type of test several times over the years and I always end up with INTP - “The Architect”.
Other INTPs include Albert Einstein, Dr. David Keirsey, James Madison, Charles Darwin, and Thomas Jefferson.
INTP types are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who don’t mind spending long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are very curious about systems and how things work, and are frequently found in careers such as science, architecture and law. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations and the “caring professions,” although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies, and politics prevalent in many professions, preferring to work informally with others as equals.
INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs. Having articulated these principles for themselves, they can demonstrate remarkable skill in explaining complex ideas to others in simple terms, especially in writing. On the other hand, their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of “simple” ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they are. This to the INTP, however, is incomprehensible: They are merely presenting all of the information.
INTPs’ extraverted intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language, and they can defuse the tension in gatherings by comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them.
When INTPs feel insulted, however, they may respond with … their AK-47.

Same here. First time I took the test, in a class of about 200, there were only two who were INTP.

I’m an ESTJ–”serious, fair, independent, and competent”. Serious? Ha. Competent? Sure… Fair? Depends on who you are asking, I suppose. Independent? I sure as hell ain’t waiting on the cops to come save my ass!
I am “extroverted, sensing, thinking, and judging”. Extroverted? Sure. Sensing? I do have use of my five senses, yes. Thinking? I do have use of normal brain function, yes. Judging? I am the judge, the jury, and the executioner. Don’t mess with me.
Yeah.
