personality

Based on a few events in my life recently, I decided to take a closer look back over something I got into several years back: personality types. I imagine there are good many difficulties with anything test-based, a major one of them being that I know how such tests work and can easily skew the answers in any way I see fit. But a basic overview of such psychology can give one a few insights into the types of problems they've encountered and how they themselves might have contributed to the situation. For those familiar, I usually end up as either INTP or INTJ. Or some variety of thinker with limited social proclivity.

Anyhoo.. here's what I found by poking around.
1)perceive that something is not logical, they reject it as unimportant. -- plausibility/practicality or circumstance play in here, but by and large, yes.
2)may be extremely caustic and insulting to others. -- Fuck you too
3)may be completely unaware of the type of communication that is often desirable and (to some degree) expected in an intimate relationship. If they are aware of the kinds of things that are appropriate to say and do to foster emotional bonding, they may be unable to appreciate the value of such actions. They may feel too vulnerable to express themselves in this fashion, and so reject the entire idea.
4)Under stress, they may show intense emotions that seem disproportionate to the situation.
5)may not recognize basic social principles, such as appropriate dress and general behavior. -- I do at least remember to get dressed in the morning, but I despise ties and hand shakes.
6)May be unaware (and sometimes uncaring) of how they come across to others --mostly the uncaring part
7)May look at external ideas and people with the primary purpose of finding fault
8)May be intolerant of weaknesses in others -- especially stupidity or incompetence.
9)May believe that they're always right--- I hate being right all the time (see 10)
10)May be cuttingly derisive and sarcastic towards others.
Mmm sarcasm. I thought this should actually go in the second list, but perhaps not.
11)May have an intense and quick temper
12)May hold grudges, and have difficulty forgiving people.
I still hate people from high school if reminded of them.

Good news part of the show:
1)respect for precision in communication lends them the ability to accurately convey their ideas and discoveries in full.
2)usually quite intelligent and can grasp difficult concepts.
3)not overly demanding in personal relationships, and have simple daily needs. They are often easy and enjoyable to live with.
4)have a natural ability to focus and get "into the zone" when working on a problem. They can absorb their minds completely with an issue, and work it through with amazing speed and accuracy. This ability makes them outstanding trouble-shooters. Since their logical abilities are dependent on their experiences, their abilities will increase with time. INTPs with experience are often seen as the "gurus" of their professions. -- often to the dismay of people around them, but that's another issue entirely.
5)mind is naturally geared towards systematically analyzing information from many contextual perspectives, and rejecting or retaining information as they become aware of its usefulness or validity. -- except I retain virtually everything whether I want to or not
6)They're extremely insightful, and see things that are not obvious to others.
7)able to generate all kinds of possibilities. They're able to see the problem from many different angles, and come up with a solution that fits the needs of the current situation. .. Thus why I prefer the grey areas.
8)They don't take criticism personally, and are open to changing their opinions when they're shown a better idea or better way of doing something.

I haven't yet reached any conclusions as to what I should do about this, if anything. But it does point out some possible innate issues I've been having, some of which I was aware of previously.
