Just did one of those personality tests and the result was perfect (INTP)(67 62 100 11). Apparently my future job is going to be in natural sciences or computing which are strangly my best 2 subjects at college. The rest:
Rational Portrait of the Architect (INTP)Architects need not be thought of as only interested in drawing blueprints for buildings or roads or bridges. They are the master designers of all kinds of theoretical systems, including school curricula, corporate strategies, and new technologies. For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models. What is important for Architects is that they grasp fundamental principles and natural laws, and that their designs are elegant, that is, efficient and coherent.
Architects are rare - maybe one percent of the population - and show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types. They tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies instantaneously, and can detect contradictions no matter when or where they were made. It is difficult for an Architect to listen to nonsense, even in a casual conversation, without pointing out the speaker's error. And in any serious discussion or debate Architects are devastating, their skill in framing arguments giving them an enormous advantage. Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.
Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense, and thus only statements that are consistent and coherent carry any weight with them.
Architects often seem difficult to know. They are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and their reserve is difficult to penetrate. Able to concentrate better than any other type, they prefer to work quietly at their computers or drafting tables, and often alone. Architects also become obsessed with analysis, and this can seem to shut others out. Once caught up in a thought process, Architects close off and persevere until they comprehend the issue in all its complexity. Architects prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.

I do usually but this one seems to be pretty true. With overthinking things and such...
@Ellyodd
I'm good at math but failing simply cause i put no effort or work into it. The bits where i have the most problems are the illoogical bits like differentiation and intergration, i find mechanics and allgebra really easy cause it's all logical.
I often nitpick every hairspliting detail, and people always tell me I make too many analogies to things that "don't even relate."
I was bad at math class, not because I was bad at math, but because I got bored trying to memorize rules that I thought didn't make any sense and I couldn't pay attention and then I got screwed and dreaded it.
I should be good at math, it's just I have math symbols.
I'm really good at drawing, though. I also overalalyze a lot of stuff.
We INTP tend to overthink anything and everything that comes into our head.
We tend to get obsessed and it's hard to rest or relax until our obsessions are quelled.
sometimes i'm an ISTJ,and sometimes ISFJ or even ISTP :O
which test did you take?
