So I took the test and I was profiled as an INTP - Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving. The description of the INTP so amazingly accurately depicts my way of thought. Measly Earthlings, it is time for copy-and-pasting.
INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.
Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.
Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems–potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP’s conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.

Many regard this attitude as arrogant, and Architects are likely, especially in their later years, after finding out that most others are faking an understanding of the laws of nature, to think of themselves as the prime movers who must pit themselves against nature and society in an endless struggle to define ends clearly and adopt whatever means that promise success. If this is arrogance, then at least it is not vanity, and without question it has driven the design engineers to take the lead in molding the structure of civilization.

They are content to sit back and think about what might work, given their view of the situation. INTPs may ignore standard operating procedures. The hours that they spend are not what is important to them, but rather the completion of their thought process

Yes, I am very fascinated with systems.
I just spent 2 days programming a statistic program although there is Google Analytics. I want to manipulate data and GA doesn’t let me. All it provides is a email report system, pfft…. I want XML!
Oh yea some of the favored careers: philosopher, game designer, scientist, software engineer - yea all the things you expect, but this: assassin. OH it all makes sense now. Still, I do not favor a career where I have to trade time for money, after all this whole career thing is a system itself. Neither do I want to be a DBA because I am not at all fascinated with uncreative administration, I want to design. To be able to architect a system to generate exponential wealth seems much favorable. I have a system in mind but it is quite difficult to implement. It will exploit existing systems, not in a bad way, to generate automatic wealth. Then there is business, which is also a system.
Yea, as those who have played TTD with me knows, I am more interested in perfecting my complex railway system than actually winning/generating virtual money. After I have got it all figured out, I got bored of it.
What have I learned? I learned that there are others who would rather not deal with the complexity. In other words, there are people who are different in this sense. Sorry, but all of you are mere mortals in this system and I am the architect.
It says I am a rule breaker and may ignore standard operating procedures. Exactly! Who wants to follow the lab notes or the text-book? I rather figure it out by myself. Damn institutions. The schools do not reward those who figure out by themselves, rather, they merit those who follow instructions. By giving out step by step procedures to guide them along. Why are they in an programming course in the first place?
If you do not know by now, “the default path” as I would like the call it is the “standard life procedure” of study hard, work even harder, becoming zombies, complain, retire and die. It is absolutely abhorring that people are trying to enforce such values onto me although they might mean good, then again, people always enforce their values on others. I am already planning to break many of these rules including death. Yeap, I have joined the Immortality Institute for awhile now. No one but me questions the validity of the existing rules and paths. It is unfortunately too stupid for me. By me, I meant all who are like me. Hello clones.
In other news..
I HATE YOU. Nah, I hate everyone else as well. Actually, I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings. I have ventured into the unknown mehahahaha.
I have 2 videos for you.
Yours, as Always,
Master
PS. I was lying, love everyone.
