Actually, no...the directions indicate that you are to choose the one that
suits you *better*.  Thus, for example, are you more comfortable with people
around, or more comfortable by yourself - all other things being equal?  If both
are equally valid, you don't answer the question, usually.

Out of an average 50-question test of this sort, I usually end up leaving 6 or
7 blank, and have gotten pretty much the same results every time - namely ENTP.
I don't know how much that is worth, but then, a healthy skepticism of such
things is supposed to be a hallmark of EMTPs.  :-)

As with other labels of this sort, it never fits exactly, as people are people
and will, at the best of times, defy categorization.
