Am I nuts?

Okay, I knew this part from a long time ago:

INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.
Take Free Myers-Briggs Personality Test

I was on the INTP listserve for a while, but honestly INTP people tend to annoy me. I don't know why. Perhaps I would enjoy them better if I wasn't always thinking they should think the same as me.

I have never taken one of these before however:

Personality Disorder Test Results
Paranoid |||||||||||| 46%
Schizoid |||||||||||| 50%
Schizotypal |||||||||||||||||| 74%
Antisocial |||||||||||| 42%
Borderline |||||||||| 38%
Histrionic |||||||||||| 50%
Narcissistic |||||||||||||| 58%
Avoidant |||||| 26%
Dependent |||||||||||| 46%
Obsessive-Compulsive |||| 18%
Take Free Personality Disorder Test

I would suppose I oughta get that schizotypal thing checked out. ;-)

I was inspired to torment myself into taking this test by a blog I enjoy reading: Consistently Chili

I read once that NT's are schizoid asthetes, whatever that means. I share the same affliction. But consider that if you are looking at self, it's like looking at a kaleidoscope, and INTP is only one of those many images. That's why you see so much difference still between yourself and others. You'd have to take many more tests, and then compare yourself against those with many test results in common. Then instead of about 1/30 match to general population, you're looking at maybe 1/10,000 or less. Then I bet you would be shocked at the telepathic like communication between yourselves. It's just a guess however. I will figure this out some day. I am an INTP as well. And I'm not inclined to do a series of 10,000 interviews only to discover that I missed the 1 person I was looking for. I think online is much easier.
