INTP is what I got. Some of the descriptions of INTP seem right on, =
others
not so good (but considering that there are only 16 possibilities, not =
bad
either). In particular I thought it was interesting that mathematics,
languages, and computer systems are supposedly things that INTPs like.
Before my college calculus and differential equations classes made me =
lose
interest in mathematics, I always used to like to read about math and try
to solve mathematical puzzles like the kind that Martin Gardner used to
write about in Scientific American. And writing computer programs is what=
 I
do for a living. I also have an interest in sounds of many kinds, from =
the
sounds of languages to music and bird songs, which I suppose fits into =
the
"perceiving" category also.
