ltlbird, kcobweb, and samtheeagle:
I've taken the Meyers-Briggs before; the most memorable result was a "JINX" (ie "INXJ", X meaning an average of T and F). The IN has been consistent from time to time: introvert as usual (although one time I scored borderline-introvert, because while I might not like going out and meeting new people, I do get lonely. I think Jen is more of a real introvert, because she doesn't seem to crave attention the way I do. "F": I have a hard time ignoring how I feel, and if I feel unhappy it tends to take over.
"P" is strange because I've tended towards J in the past. I guess I've been seeing myself as more of a compromiser lately, someone who tries to see all sides of issues (particularly political) and not get too caught up in the cause (e.g. when politicized rants start complaining about how "all Republicans" are stupid/evil/whatever).
If "mathematical" is related to "logical", strange that it turned up third. Intrapersonal also seems strange; I'm concerned about how other people feel, but I can't say I do a good job knowing what they feel.
INFP is the "Dreamer", and I've also seen it called the "Crusader" which I like: I sometimes feel like I'm on a (quixotic?) crusade when I see people doing things that break my internal rules, even if they're not harming me.
